Bab 763: Chapter 763: Arrest and Return to the Palace to Beg for Mercy (4)_1

```

Mo Yan, however, had no mind to think of ways to help Mother and son of the Wu family since three members of the Chen Family had been arrested and brought to the capital a few days prior, awaiting their fate.

The day after the Chen Family was escorted into the capital, Mo Yan submitted her request to see the Emperor at the palace but never received a summon from Emperor Huian.

Mo Yan figured that Emperor Huian probably knew the purpose of her request for an audience, and his refusal to see her was effectively a refusal to spare Mrs. Du. Without admission to the palace, she could not personally plead for Mrs. Du, leaving her only hope to be that Xiao Ruiyuan could persuade Chu Heng. That way, she might have a chance to enter the palace and convince Emperor Huian to pardon Mrs. Du's death sentence.
