The Great Planned Marriage: Becoming A Splendid Princess
On the first day, Shen Luo checked all the medical books and records in King Rui’s mansion and finally found the notes about the Lethal Seven left by his master.
But he just described the details of the victim’s symptoms and simply mentioned the development of the antidote. There was no formula for the antidote left.
On the second day, Shen Luo produced the Lethal Seven according to his master’s notes, but he still didn’t know anything about the formula for the antidote.
Mo Junyang was nowhere to be found.
On the third day, there were rumors everywhere that Prime Minister Qin had beaten dozens of servants to death because of the theft in his mansion. The public condemned him on his cruelty and utter disregard for human life.
In the afternoon, Qin Shirong went to the fourth prince’s mansion under cover and he looked sullen, as if his mother were dead.
Mo Junhao had heard about the rumors and didn’t believe that, but he realized the seriousness of the matter. The Qin Family’s mansion had suffered loss by theft just on the same day, but the scandal was spread all over the city. There must be somebody behind the scenes.
“What was stolen?”
Qin Shirong clenched his fists and stayed silent for a while before saying with a sad face, “Everything.”
“What?” Mo Junhao couldn’t understand what he meant.
“When I checked the study this morning, I found that it was empty. Every document, including the stuff hidden in the secret drawers has gone.”
Mo Junhao’s eyes widened in surprise. “How is it possible? Do you know who did that?”
“But that’s the truth. I hid several secret drawers in the study, and all of them are empty now. And the guards on night shift didn’t find somebody coming in. A bunch of punks!” At the mention of what he had seen in the morning, Qin Shirong still felt it was a dream.
Everything was gone without any sound, as if there were ghosts.
“Everything is missing?” Hearing that, Mo Junhao squinted and felt threatened. “What is included in everything as you said?”
Qin Shirong was the strongest power among the fourth prince’s followers and had much more connections with him than everybody could imagine.
And till now, Mo Junhao wouldn’t feel luckily and guess that the people who had stolen them were just common thieves taking action randomly.
Qin Shirong shrank his neck when the prince stared at him, and he faltered, “Nothing special. They are just…just accounts and others…”
He didn’t make it clear, but Mo Junhao knew that it was not as simple as he said.
Mo Junhao thought of what he had given to Qin Shirong and what he had done. He didn’t know how many things were recorded by Qin Shirong. He even wanted to kill his father-in-law.
“Your… Your Highness, what should I do?” Qin Shirong looked worried and apparently knew that he had caused big trouble.
“If I know, would I still sit here?” Although Mo Junhao was respectful to his father-in-law at ordinary times, he couldn’t look friendly this time.
Qin Shirong didn’t have the nerve to complain and said cautiously, “I have sent some people to investigate and find out who was so bold as to enter my mansion to make trouble. After we catch the thief…”
Mo Junhao was dismissive and sneered. “Since he dared to take action, would he give you a chance to catch him? Or he has got your secrets, would he be afraid of you?”
“He?” Qin Shirong murmured in doubt and then his eyes turned fierce. He asked, “Your Highness, you know who did it? What did he want?”
Mo Junhao rubbed his forehead tiredly and snorted. “Your loved daughter brought trouble!”
“Yanyan?” Qin Shirong was stunned and had no idea what Qin Yanyan had done. He just defended her. “She is a woman. What can she do? If you think it’s difficult to handle, I will take the responsibility on my own. I won’t get you involved, Your Highness.”
It seemed that he meant Mo Junhao was incapable and even put the blame on a woman.
Mo Junhao certainly understood that hidden meaning and sneered. He pointed out mercilessly, “If your daughter hadn’t poisoned Shi Qingxue to make trouble out of nothing, would you have been watched by Mo Junyang after he knew that?”
No. He was not just being watched. Now, Mo Junyang almost put a rope on Qin Shirong’s neck. As long as Mo Junyang put forth a little strength, Qin Shirong would be killed. And all the fourth prince’s followers might be destroyed because of the loss of balance.
Qin Shirong also realized that it might be hard to deal with, but he still explained for his daughter, “Yanyan is simple-minded. Maybe she is wronged. Your Highness, please…”
Mo Junhao didn’t want to listen to his crap and expressed with no emotion, “Now, the point is not whether I believe it or not, but do you think you can convince Mo Junyang with your lame excuses?”
Seeing that Qin Shirong was silent, Mo Junhao added, “Prime Minister Qin, if you are eloquent, you’d better persuade Yanyan to give out the antidote. Maybe it can be in exchange for your things.”
Qin Shirong immediately told Qin Yanyan to come here and carefully asked about the poisoning.
Qin Yanyan was unhappy that Mo Junhao told on her and glared at him. Then she roughly told her father what had happened.
She even expressed with displeasure, “It’s just a lady from the Shi Family. What’s the big deal? Just let her die. I don’t believe that our big family would fear…”
“Bastard!” Qin Shirong furiously slapped Qin Yanyan in the face and interrupted her ravings.
After all, she was his daughter that he doted on for more than ten years. Qin Shirong felt sad for her and he was still angry. At last, he had to sigh helplessly. “What do you know? Lady Qingxue is not a big deal, but now Mo Junyang has known our family’s secrets. Do you want to have the whole family destroyed because of your jealousy?”
Qin Shirong was not as brainless as Qin Yanyan. He was clear that the power behind Shi Qingxue was not so simple like Qin Yanyan said. Especially he could clearly remember what had happened to the Zhao Family in the past few days. He didn’t want to offend Mo Junyang at all!
“Why? Isn’t Mo Junyang the crown prince’s…” Qin Yanyan said gloomily. She had never thought that Mo Junyang could do what he said.
Qin Shirong interrupted her impatiently and ordered straightforward, “Well. I don’t care what you are thinking about. Anyway, just give out the antidote first to save Lady Qingxue and calm Mo Junyang, that devil.”
Qin Yanyan didn’t refuse to take the antidote emotionally, but she still stood there.
Qin Shirong had to advise her patiently again, “I know you don’t like Lady Qingxue, but it’s not time to mess around. After His Highness reaches his goal, even if you cut her into pieces, nobody would stop you. Do you hear me?”
Qin Yanyan’s face paled, but she was still unmoved.
“Yanyan!” Qin Shirong called more loudly.
Qin Yanyan raised her head to look at Qin Shirong and Mo Junhao, with fear on her face. After quite a while, she stuttered, “But, I don’t have the antidote!”
“What?”
“What?”
The two men stood up suddenly and asked in unison.
“I didn’t know it would be like this. But the man gave me three needles with the Lethal Seven and told me that there was no antidote to this poison. I…” Qin Yanyan couldn’t continue but shed tears.
Qin Shirong fell in the seat powerlessly and mumbled in desperation, “Damn it. We are done!”
Shi Qingxue was surely going to die, and the Qin Family would die with her!
For the first time, Qin Yanyan saw her father so scared and also panicked. “I didn’t expect it to be like this! Father, I didn’t mean it. I just wanted to teach Shi Qingxue a lesson…”
Mo Junhao rolled his eyes in silence and thought, “You just wanted to teach her a lesson? You want to take her life!”
But what was done couldn’t be undone. Mo Junhao was not in the mood to scold Qin Yanyan anymore and started to figure out a way to make up for it.
Obviously Qin Shirong thought so and the panic on his square face turned into meditation.
After a long time, coldness flashed on his face, and he suddenly said to Mo Junhao in a lower voice, “Your Highness, it’s too late. I am afraid that we are bound to be Mo Junyang’s enemies. We’d better go the whole hog when he can’t be distracted for now and others haven’t realized the situation. How about…”
Before Qin Shirong finished his words, Mo Junhao’s face darkened and he hurriedly cut in, “Prime Minister Qin, please speak with caution!”
Qin Shirong had to shut up, but he still looked resentful, seeming to say, “If we don’t do that, do you have a better solution?”
Mo Junhao ignored him. At the moment, a eunuch of the emperor, Lord Liang was invited into the room, saying that the emperor told Prince Junhao to see him urgently in the imperial palace.
The three of them were all astonished. Mo Junhao took out a moneybag from his pocket and gave it to Lord Liang. “Lord Liang, thanks. Can I ask why my father summoned me?”
“No, thanks. It’s my duty.” Lord Liang didn’t dare to receive Mo Junhao’s bribe and moved a few steps backward before bowing to the prince. “Your Highness, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. His majesty just told me to bring you to the palace and didn’t say anything else.”
Mo Junhao insisted on giving the moneybag to Lord Liang and said with a smile, “Anyway, you deserve it.
If you don’t accept it, you just look down upon me!”
“Thanks for your gift, Your Highness!” Lord Liang finally accepted it in fear and then reminded him, trying to flatter him. “Before I came out of the palace, I saw that His Majesty looked unhappy. Your Highness, you need to be careful.”
“Thanks for reminding me, Lord Liang.” Mo Junhao expressed his gratitude gently and then seemed to ask casually, “Which official has seen my father today?”
Lord Liang answered frankly, “There is no imperial court session today, and the officials don’t dare to enter the palace to disturb His Majesty, but King Rui’s heir came to the palace this morning.”
“Oh!” Mo Junhao’s eyes turned cold, and he asked in a hurry, “Do you know what he said to my father?”
“His Majesty met His Excellency alone in the study and didn’t allow the servants to serve them. I don’t know what they were talking about. But they talked for a long time, about one hour.” Lord Liang replied in details because he had received Mo Junhao’s gift.
Seeing that Mo Junhao’s smile faded, Lord Liang thought that he couldn’t help the prince and felt guilty. He had to ask cautiously, “His Majesty wanted to see you urgently. How about…”
Mo Junhao smiled. “I am going to the palace with you to see my father.”
Afterward, he left directly and didn’t care how scared Qin Shirong and Qin Yanyan were.

Qin Yanyan covered her cheek in disbelief, with tears in her eyes. She cried, “Father, you beat me? You actually beat me! Since I was a child, you have never laid a finger on me. Now, you beat your daughter because of a bitch. You have gone too far!”After all, she was his daughter that he doted on for more than ten years. Qin Shirong felt sad for her and he was still angry. At last, he had to sigh helplessly. “What do you know? Lady Qingxue is not a big deal, but now Mo Junyang has known our family’s secrets.
