Chapter 125: The Rumor

Wei Zichao was not smart enough indeed, but he guessed right. Mo Junyang did that, and he told Zhao Ming something in the prison.

The news that Mo Junyang loved Shi Qingxue spread instantly. He didn’t tell the world, but anybody who should know had heard about it.

The first one who asked Mo Junyang was Mo Xiangbin unexpectedly.

The emperor of the Mo Country summoned Mo Junyang to the study and didn’t ask about Zhao Ming’s treason, but questioned, “Do you want to marry the girl from the Shi Family?”

Mo Junyang smiled, with his determined eyes. “Your Majesty, I don’t want to but will marry her.”

He bragged in front of the emperor, but Mo Xiangbin didn’t get angry. Instead, he stared at Mo Junyang deeply.

After quite a while, the emperor smiled, his eyes sharp. “Junyang, I know about your capability, but it’s my first time to see you concentrate on something. Is Qingxue so attractive? Or do you…have any other purposes?”

The old fox would think more. Obviously, Mo Xiangbin didn’t believe that Mo Junyang had put Shi Baojin in a treason group just to avenge Shi Qingxue.

Mo Junyang didn’t explain but smiled freely, asking, “Your Majesty, what do you think?”

Everyone in the Mo Country, even including the most favored fourth prince Mo Junhao, didn’t dare to be so reckless in front of Mo Xiangbin, but Mo Junyang was so relaxed, as if he weren’t facing a ruler who controlled everybody’s life and death.

More magically, Mo Xiangbin didn’t get mad at all. Even with admiration in his eyes, he laughed. “Great! You deserve to be my nephew. If any of my sons were as capable as you, would they need to try every means to fight for the position?”

While he was speaking, the old emperor’s face was depressed.

Mo Xiangbin was capable for sure as he could take over the position of the late emperor. Even though he was truly partial to Mo Junhao, he hoped that his successor would be somebody talented. Only under control of such a man could the country pass down for many generations. Unfortunately, his three sons who fought most for the position of his heir were all square in every aspect. It was tough to make a choice.

Mo Junyang seemed not to hear the hidden meaning in Mo Xiangbin’s words and answered casually, “Your Majesty, the Mo Country is yours. You can give it to anybody as you like, and nobody dares to object.”

Mo Xiangbin was freshened by Mo Junyang’s praise and nodded with satisfaction. “Junyang, you know what I think.”

Probably Mo Xiangbin wouldn’t have such thoughts if he knew that Mo Junyang had killed anybody who objected him and ascended the throne in the previous life.

Mo Junyang didn’t want to talk with Mo Xiangbin and said directly, “Your Majesty, if you have no orders, I will leave.”

“Wait.”

Mo Xiangbin stood up and stopped Mo Junyang. He moved two steps forward and stared at Mo Junyang, asking out of the blue, “Thanks for your help in Zhao Ming’s case. Qingxue…”

“No need.” Mo Junyang interrupted Mo Xiangbin without thinking.

He added, “Thanks for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I have my own plans. I don’t dare to trouble you.”

Mo Xiangbin heard that and confirmed that the young man didn’t sincerely want to marry Shi Qingxue. He felt relieved and waved his hand. “Fine. I am old. I will let you younger generation handle it by yourselves.”

Mo Junyang didn’t express his opinion and left for King Rui’s mansion.

Beyond his expectation, King Rui, Mo Xiangrui, who always abandoned himself to nature and didn’t care about the society, had come back to the mansion and sat in the master’s seat. He looked serious and obviously waited for his son to answer his questions.

Mo Junyang frowned and stepped forward, greeting, “Father, nice to see you.”

Mo Xiangrui gazed at Mo Junyang and asked deeply after quite a while, “There is news from the imperial palace that you want to unite Duke Shi’s family by marriage?”

“Father, you hear about it so soon.” Mo Junyang had planned to spread the news, but Mo Xiangrui got it sooner than he expected.

Mo Xiangrui didn’t hide it and said frankly, “I have people in the Ministry of Penalty.”

“Gee.”

Mo Junyang knew that the fox which looked obedient would show its true nature someday. No matter how harmless Mo Xiangrui pretended, he was not a powerless sheep.

If Shi Qingxue heard that, she would comment silently, “Shameless. Who likes most to pretend to be a little sheep?”

“Father, you are awesome.” Mo Junyang wasn’t stingy to praise.

But Mo Xiangrui glared at him with displeasure. “Tell me frankly what you are thinking about. I remember that you once said you didn’t want to seize the throne. If you regret now, I can give you a hand. But Shi Junhe pays attention to loyalty to the emperor, and I am afraid that it’s not easy to win him over. You…”

If the enemy heard of these words, any word would be enough to destroy King Rui’s mansion, but on the other hand, it could be seen that King Rui spoke to his son from the bottom of his heart.

Mo Junyang wasn’t as relaxed as he had been when he faced Mo Xiangbin and replied respectfully, “Father, I never regret. Now I am quite satisfied with the life in this mansion and I don’t plan to unite Duke Shi’s family by marriage.”

“But why is there rumor that you love Qingxue and tried every means to avenge her?” Mo Xiangbin stared at Mo Junyang in disbelief and then was suddenly enlightened. “Do you show it to others?”

Mo Junyang shook his head again and answered with a smile, “The rumor is true. I put Shi Baojin into the Zhao Family’s mess in order to avenge Qingxue. I will make anybody who bullied her pay for it at a much higher price.”

He spoke with ease, with a smile in his eyes, like expressing his love, but it made Mo Xiangrui tremble.

Mo Xiangrui didn’t take his son’s words as a joke. He stayed silent for a short time and then said helplessly, “You consider everything for her but don’t want to marry her. What on earth do you want?”

Mo Junyang raised his brows and laughed showily. “Who said I don’t want to marry her?”

“But didn’t you say that you don’t plan to unite the Shi Family by marriage?” Mo Xiangrui looked astonished.

Mo Junyang didn’t care and shrugged. “Uniting by marriage and my plan to marry her are different.”

Mo Xiangrui paused for a while and his old face showed that he understood. He looked happy and also sad. “If only I had your courage in those years.”

He sighed silently and waved at Mo Junyang tiredly, saying, “Deal with it by yourself. I won’t stop you as long as you don’t lose your life. You should know that your life doesn’t belong to you alone…”

“Yes, Father,”

Mo Junyang responded softly and turned a deaf ear to Mo Xiangrui’s murmur. Then he left quietly.

In the noble circle, the news spread that Mo Junyang loved Shi Qingxue and caused a great clamor. At the same time, all 27 people of three generations in the family of Zhao Ming who committed treason had been burnt to death in the prison except Shi Baojin, on the second day after Mo Junyang visited the prisoner.

All people guessed that Mo Junyang’s secret was exposed, so he killed the whole family to vent his anger, or Zhao Ming knew something he shouldn’t know and had been killed so that the secret wouldn’t be found.

More magically, everybody thought Mo Xiangbin would get furious but he closed the case randomly and didn’t plan to investigate anymore.

So, nobody knew how many people sighed with relief in secret and how many smashed cups, unable to endure it.

After Mo Junyu got the news, he didn’t have any reaction. Although he hoped to see Mo Junjiu in trouble, he knew that the current situation of three sides was the most beneficial to him. If Mo Junjiu was ruined, Mo Junyu’s few followers would definitely be the first to suffer.

So when somebody reported to him that Mo Junyang had hidden the most powerful evidence which could defeat Mo Junjiu, he killed them secretly even without asking more.

But when he faced the expressionless Mo Junyang, he was restless and tried to start a conversation. “What did you say to my father? He didn’t investigate this matter anymore.”

Mo Junyang seemed not to notice Mo Junyu’s uneasiness hidden in his voice and replied, “Nothing, but… He is the emperor, after all.”

Mo Junyu was shocked to hear that.

“You didn’t do anything this time, and he would thank you,” Mo Junyang added unhurriedly.

However, Mo Junyu smiled bitterly. “Thank me? Forget it. We just played a show. Let’s see what will happen in the future!

By the way, didn’t you always hide your feelings for the lady from the Shi Family and fear that you would scare her to run away? Why don’t you fear now?”

Speaking of which, Mo Junyu might be the first one who knew about Mo Junyang’s persistent love for Shi Qingxue. This big shot said as soon as he came to Mo Junyu, “I will help you. Shi Qingxue is mine.”

To be frank, he didn’t realize at that time who Shi Qingxue was. Eight years ago, she was just a kid. Till now, he still doubted that Mo Junyang was a pedophile.

He was nervous and looked at Mo Junyang, who just smiled silently.

But Qu Yuebai said with a smile, “Your Highness, you don’t know that our master fears nothing with somebody at his back.”

“Oh? Why did you say that?” Mo Junyu turned to Qu Yuebai curiously. In front of somebody Mo Junyang trusted, the crown prince didn’t put on airs.

“Of course because Lady Qingxue…” When Qu Yuebai was anxious to gossip and wouldn’t get happy unless he spoke out, Mo Junyang coughed.

He didn’t say anything and just glanced at his subordinate.

Qu Yuebai shut up immediately and made a gesture of killing while shrinking obediently.

Mo Junyu’s curiosity was aroused and mumbled discontentedly, “You need to go on as you have started. You are not a man if you hesitate.”

Somebody who was forced not to be a man wept secretly and still didn’t have the nerve to speak a word.

When they were joking around, a servant sent an invitation from the third prince, who asked Mo Junyang to have a chat in the Xiangyue Pavilion.

After reading the invitation, Qu Yuebai sighed with emotion. “Both sides had such a big fight and were almost at daggers drawn. Prince Junjiu even has the interest to invite our master to a brothel. What does he want?”

Mo Junyu took the invitation and checked it. Then he sneered all of a sudden. “Prime Minister Liang is cautious. Even if he knows that we won’t make a fuss about Zhao Ming’s notebook with records, he would think it’s not safe in our hands. He might want to take it back.”

While speaking, he looked at Mo Junyang. “Are you going there?”

“It would be a waste if we don’t take the benefit given to us,” Mo Junyang answered simply.

Qu Yuebai thought so after pondering for a while but then expressed awkwardly that he had seen that Mo Junyang put it in fire conveniently.

Mo Junyu was anxious after hearing that. “Then how would we blackmail Mo Junjiu?”
