Chapter 192: Who Could Win?

Shen Luo didn’t beat around the bush but said, “Everything I need to treat the patient is in King Rui’s mansion. If you want me to take good care of the colorful phenix, you need to send it to King Rui’s mansion.”

“Uh…” Mo Xiangbin was in a predicament.

He finally got this holy bird, but he had kept it for just a short time and hadn’t seen it for several times. Now he must send it away.

He felt uncomfortable when it was out of his control.

Mo Junjiu was nervous to see that and questioned at once, “The colorful phenix is the holy bird. How can you take it away as you like? If there is something wrong, can you take the responsibility?”

Mo Xiangbin thought Mo Junjiu was aggressive but didn’t stop him. He just asked, “Doctor Shen, don’t you have another way?”

Shen Luo lowered his head and answered impassively, “I am just a doctor and don’t know anything about the geomantic omen or the Eight Diagrams. I can do nothing but provide the best solution to cure the colorful phenix. If you insist on keeping it in the imperial palace, I can’t do my best. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

Mo Xiangbin was speechless and thought that the capable men were always violent-tempered. Since he ascended to the throne, it was the first time that he was threatened, although in a soft way.

“Huh! Just say it if you are not capable. I don’t believe that no other miracle-working doctor in such a big country except you can cure the colorful phenix!” Mo Junjiu yelled at Shen Luo arrogantly.

Then he turned around and bowed to Mo Xiangbin, advising in a deep voice, “Father, there are many talents in our country, and the imperial doctors are all excellent. If Junyu hadn’t insisted on sending for a miracle-working doctor, I would have asked an imperial doctor to treat the colorful phenix.

The colorful phenix is the holy bird of the Qin Continent, and many people want to own it. If we send it to King Rui’s mansion randomly, who can ensure its safety?”

He mentioned the holy bird and its safety, seeming to say that the colorful phenix would die after it left the imperial palace. Why didn’t he remember where it had been poisoned?

Shen Luo pouted. Even though somebody doubted the safety in King Rui’s mansion, his master looked calm and didn’t want to get involved in this matter.

Perhaps Mo Junyang thought that since Mo Junjiu wanted the colorful phenix so badly, just gave him that useless and dying wild bird.

While imaging, Shen Luo thought that he had guessed what Mo Junyang was thinking about, so he didn’t reply.

Mo Junjiu waited for Shen Luo to retort, and then he would ask an imperial doctor to cure the colorful phenix quickly so that he could embarrass Shen Luo, but the miracle-working doctor stood by and turned a deaf ear, which made him unable to say what he wanted to. He was depressed and helpless.

It was awkward on the spot for no reason. Mo Junjiu had no choice but to continue, “Father, I think there are many imperial doctors in the palace, and it would succeed even if we ask an imperial doctor to detoxify the colorful phenix. And I have sent somebody to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to bring a doctor. They must have arrived now. How about…”

Mo Xiangbin ignored him and then asked Mo Junyang who kept silent, “Junyang, what do you think?”

“Your Majesty, it’s up to you. I have no objection.”

Mo Junyang answered casually with indifference and wasn’t as joyful as anybody who could get the colorful phenix.

Mo Xiangbin knew well about Mo Junyang and thought that this guy might turn up his nose at this holy bird.

“Junhao, what’s your opinion?” Mo Xiangbin didn’t make a decision but turned to Mo Junhao.

Mo Junhao stared at Mo Junyang all the time, as if lost in thought. He came to his senses after being stunned for a while as Mo Xiangbin suddenly called him.

He looked hesitant and answered, “Everybody has seen Doctor Shen’s medical skills, and he could cure the first lady of the Shi family whose disease was difficult to handle, so he deserves to be a miracle-working doctor. But the Imperial Academy of Medicine has the most outstanding doctors in our country, and it is said that there is strength in numbers. I can’t make a choice for now. So Father, please make a decision.”

He spoke a lot and didn’t offend anybody but at last left the hot potato to Mo Xiangbin.

Mo Xiangbin was so angry that he goggled. If he could make a decision easily, he wouldn’t have asked them.

All of them didn’t want to take the responsibility.

Mo Xiangbin naturally wanted to keep the colorful phenix in the imperial palace, and it was the best to keep it around him. However, the old doctors in the palace could certainly cure the common diseases quickly, but when it came to the incurable diseases, they would even ask for permission repeatedly with caution before using any medicine because they were afraid that they would be to blame if there was something wrong.

However, in this way, even the minor illness would become a serious one after they delayed. Mo Xiangbin was worried that the colorful phenix would die because of their delay.

“I believe in Doctor Shen’s medical skills. Since he said it will be the best if he takes the colorful phenix to King Rui’s mansion to treat it, then…” Mo Xiangbin pondered for quite a while and decided to take a risk at last.

“Father!” Mo Junjiu couldn’t bear to see that and shouted in a hurry to interrupt Mo Xiangbin.

He hurriedly walked to Mo Xiangbin and advised, “Now the one who poisoned the colorful phenix hasn’t been found. After we send it to King Rui’s mansion, if… the consequences would be unthinkable!”

He didn’t complete the sentence after “if”, but what he wanted to express was evident. He just doubted that Mo Junyang might be the one who poisoned the colorful phenix.

Mo Junjiu knew that it would be exposed easily after he said that, but in order to keep the colorful phenix, he had to make the mess worse.

He was clear that he might offend Mo Junyang, but he gritted his teeth and then said something with hidden meanings. “After all, Junyang and Junyu are on good terms.”

The people in the crown prince’s East Palace were still suspected, and Mo Junyu was under house arrest as a punishment. Then could his right-hand man be fully trusted?

He aimed at Mo Junyang, but the latter didn’t refute him. Mo Junyang looked indifferent as before, as if he didn’t hear Mo Junjiu’s words, and he didn’t care at all.

Mo Junjiu got excited secretly to see that.

He didn’t explain? It was great!

He didn’t explain, which meant that he admitted it silently.

Before Mo Junjiu put the blame on Mo Junyang, Mo Xiangbin looked ghastly pale and rebuked him, “Ridiculous! What do you mean? Do you suspect that Junyang poisoned the colorful phenix?”

The emperor looked ferocious and disgusted. It seemed that as long as Mo Junjiu replied yes, he would be cursed severely.

Mo Junjiu couldn’t speak a word.

He had been Mo Xiangbin’s son for so many years and watched him spoil Mo Junhao for many times but had never seen him speak for anybody, making his position clear.

It was absolutely trusting.

Mo Junjiu darted a look at Mo Junyang fiercely, with resentment and jealousy, thinking, “Why can Mo Junyang easily get what I want while I have to try every means to please my father and win his trust, taking each step cautiously as if treading on eggs?”

Mo Junyang still ignored Mo Junjiu as he saluted Mo Xiangbin, saying nonchalantly, “Your Majesty, thanks for your trust. I will send more people to guard my mansion and ensure the colorful phenix’s safety.

Your Highness, please don’t worry. Today’s tragedy won’t repeat.”

He said the last words to Mo Junjiu meaningfully, which scared the third prince.

Mo Junjiu was guilty and didn’t dare to meet Mo Junyang’s eyes. He just stood straight on purpose, being outwardly strong but inwardly weak. “I don’t need to worry about anything. Don’t speak at random to slander me. I am just afraid that the colorful phenix would have something wrong.”

Shen Luo watched their interaction and was affected.

A thief accused somebody else of the theft boldly with sufficient reasons. It was impressive.

Unfortunately, his trick was inconspicuous in Mo Junyang’s eyes. The latter turned a deaf ear to Mo Junjiu’s words and told Shen Luo, “In this case, take the colorful phenix to my mansion first and take good care of it.”

Shen Luo understood Mo Junyang’s hint and then stated, “The colorful phenix’s life is in danger and it needs to be cured as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. But I am just a civilian. Even if you trust me and allow me to carry the holy bird of the Qin Continent away, I wouldn’t dare to. Your Majesty, please tell somebody to come to King Rui’s mansion with me and take care of the colorful phenix. If there is any problem later, I can discuss with him.”

“Good idea. It’s permitted!” Mo Xiangbin felt joyful and agreed in an instant.

With his trusted follower guarding the colorful phenix all the time, he would feel relieved.

Then he immediately ordered, “So I will tell Quan to follow you all the way. If you need anything, you can tell him to do.”

“Thanks for your kindness, Your Majesty.” Shen Luo bowed to express his thanks.

Afterward, he sent the colorful phenix out of the Qianzheng Palace with the people from King Rui’s mansion.

Then Mo Xiangbin also left. He didn’t take a glance at Mo Junyu from beginning to end, as if this prince had been abandoned completely.

After hearing Mo Xiangbin’s cruel imperial decree, Mo Junyu was in a trance. Everybody went away, but he still stood alone blankly in the courtyard outside the colorful phenix’s room. He looked stagnant like an idiot.

Mo Junyu’s cousin Mo Yu felt heartbroken to see that and hurriedly stepped forward to advise him, “Your Highness, don’t lose heart. His Majesty is furious and it’s normal that he would vent his anger. Don’t get dispirited because of that and make others laugh at you.”

Mo Junyu’s lips curled up, and he wanted to smile at Mo You, but he failed and just felt bitter.

“Didn’t Father embarrass me enough?” The emperor deprived him of his title in public and put him under house arrest in the East Palace. That was humiliating him in front of others.

“Just for the sake of an animal!” Mo Junyu couldn’t restrain his anger anymore and called the colorful phenix “animal”.

Mo You was frightened and hurriedly covered Mo Junyu’s mouth, shouting, “Your Highness, the East Palace is not safe now. You can’t say something like this randomly. If somebody tells His Majesty, it would be a disaster!”

Mo Junyu turned pale suddenly and then looked dejected at last.

He leaned against the door pillar, feeling deflated. He looked sad and then expressed with self-mockery, “Father is about to depose the crown prince. What will be worse?”

“Ugh…” Mo You was speechless and then argued clumsily, “We will figure out a way. The Empress Dowager left with His Majesty. If she intercedes with His Majesty for you, maybe things will change. Or I will go to His Excellency. He is always resourceful…”

Mo Junyu’s face stiffened instantly and he murmured in embarrassment, “He once warned me because of the colorful phenix and told me not to get involved in this mess, so I didn’t discuss with him about what happened later. Now there is something wrong and I ask him for help, so he won’t help me.”
