Chapter 201: Cheat Obviously

Quan held his breath and prepared to announce this good news.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he started, he didn’t bring the crown prince surprise but shocked him.

He was a servant used to serving respected people and could guess what the master was thinking about as soon as he saw the other party’s reaction. Especially Mo Junyu didn’t conceal his emotions.

“Your Highness, don’t get me wrong. I came to tell you good news. This is really big good news!”

Quan explained hurriedly and was worried that Mo Junyu would misunderstand, so he came straight to the point.

Wouldn’t the crown prince be deposed?

Mo Junyu showed a stiff expression and looked at Quan in doubt.

Quan nodded all of a sudden and spoke out what was on the imperial decree simply and quickly. “His Majesty knows that you were framed by evil-doers this time…”

Before Quan finished his words, Mo Junyu stood up abruptly.

He grabbed the imperial decree from Quan and opened it to read.

Quan had done the job to read imperial decrees for so many years, but perhaps it was his first time to see that the scroll was grabbed from him.

He was dumbfounded but soon came to his senses as a tough person.

He continued sharply, “His Majesty said that he gave you a chance to atone for a crime by meritorious actions. As long as you can capture the real murderer who poisoned the colorful phenix within three days, he can let what happened pass.”

Let it pass. It meant that the punishment to Mo Junyu could stop and his identity as the crown prince could be secured.

“His Majesty also told me to give this to you.” Quan gave Mo Junyu a note.

He purposely lowered his voice and told him mysteriously, “As long as you do it according to the instruction, you can surely find the real murderer.”

The emperor even told him how to capture the murderer. He “cheated” so obviously.

Mo Junyu couldn’t wait to open the note and got stunned to see the ink on it.

It was the familiar handwriting, and he recognized it at a glance, as the note was written by Mo Junyang.

“Junyang…” the crown prince mumbled.

Quan explained to him naturally, “The prince of the Liang Country came to make trouble in the imperial study just now. Although His Majesty managed to deal with him, he still told me to ask His Excellency to come.

“They talked in private in the imperial study for a while. Then His Excellency left, and His Majesty issued an imperial decree for you and told me to explain to you about everything, Your Highness. Is there anything that you don’t understand?”

This was the reason why Quan told him everything in one breath like shooting.

Mo Junyu pondered for a minute and then understood why Mo Xiangbin told Quan to do so. His father didn’t want him to misunderstand Mo Junyang and think that Mo Junyang didn’t do anything to save his life.

In fact, even if Mo Junyang didn’t get involved in this matter, Mo Junyu just thought that he was hurt but wouldn’t blame him.

But he had just heard Mo You say that Mo Junyang decided not to help him, and then he knew that Mo Junyang silently helped him so much. Look at Mo Junyang’s silent actions. If Mo Xiangbin didn’t mention it, Mo Junyang wouldn’t tell him.

Mo Junyu’s thoughts changed in an instant, and such feelings were beyond description.

He was panicked, moved and relieved…

At last, all of them turned into a faint smile, and he couldn’t help but call softly, “Junyang, my brother.”

Mo You had tears of joy while seeing that. He grabbed Mo Junyu’s arm and expressed happily, “Your Highness, it’s wonderful! I know that His Majesty won’t give up on you.

“Look, isn’t this the chance? Let’s do quickly according to the hint, and we can find the murderer…”

He saw clearly what was on the paper and paused for a while before asking in confusion, “Isn’t it the chapter of The Colorful Phenix in the book About the Qin Continent? What kind of solution is it?”

Mo You just talked to himself, but his voice was loud and he didn’t control himself. And he didn’t expect that his voice could be heard by the two people beside him and enter another person’s ears.

The secret spread silently, but the three were unaware.

Quan shook his head to show that he just sent the imperial decree and didn’t know what Mo Xiangbin and Mo Junyang talked about.

He continued to repeat Mo Xiangbin’s orders. “Anyway, please do it as soon as possible, Your Highness. Don’t tell anybody else in case that there are unnecessary ramifications.”

Mo Junyu nodded cautiously and told his servant to give Quan a valuable gift before sending him out of the East Palace.

Mo You then asked, “I have a doubt. The solution His Excellency offered is more like a legend.”

“The colorful phenix is magical and its eyes can tell the life and death… The murderer’s inverted reflection in water has nowhere to hide.”

The essay About the Qin Continent, The Colorful Phenix, Nirvana and Rebirth had the records of the holy bird colorful phenix. It was said that its glazed eyes could record anything evil in the world. If somebody had evil intentions to it and harmed it, its glazed eyes would record the case. Even if it died, the record wouldn’t disappear.

It sounded ridiculous, and who knew if it was effective?

After all, only two rare colorful phenixes had showed up since one thousand years ago, and normal people wouldn’t have evil intentions to such a treasure, so it couldn’t prove what was in the book.

“To say the least, even if the words in the book are true, we can only use this method under the condition that the murderer saw the colorful phenix before poisoning it.

“Now the fact is that we don’t know how the colorful phenix was poisoned. What if the murderer harmed it in a special way without facing it? Wouldn’t this solution be useless?”

Mo You asked two crucial questions successively.

There was no answer.

Mo Junyu got excited just now, but he became listless soon.

It was not easy for him to justify himself.

It was not a simple job.

“The colorful phenix must have seen the murderer before death.”

Suddenly, a clear voice cut in and disturbed the two who were in low spirits.

The two raised their heads at the same time and looked at the voice source.

They didn’t know since when Shi Qingxue stood at the gate of the East Palace and looked at them calmly.

And the last words were from her mouth.

Mo Junyu didn’t think about why Shi Qingxue suddenly showed up here. He walked to her quickly as if seeing a savior. “Qingxue, what are you doing here? Come in first.”

Shi Qingxue smiled at him and pursed her lips. “I came here as I hope to have a look at the room where the colorful phenix stayed.”

Mo Junyu was sophisticated and immediately understood that she came to investigate the colorful phenix’s death.

Of course he was happy. However, when he led Shi Qingxue to that room, he couldn’t help but guess why she wanted to do something like this to get herself into trouble.

“I was also present that day. I can’t stand by and watch that the holy bird was poisoned but there was no explanation, so I have to confirm something,” Shi Qingxue pouted and explained in a low voice.

Mo Junyu was seen through and smiled in embarrassment.

He hurriedly changed the subject. “By the way, what do you mean by saying that the colorful phenix must have seen the murderer?”

“Take it literally.”

The colorful phenix’s room was still covered with the black heavy cloth outside, and there was no light inside.

Shi Qingxue didn’t tell anybody to lift the black cloth but brought an oil lamp into the room.

Mo Junyu stood at the door and was unwilling to enter, just asking, “Three groups of people entered and searched here but didn’t find anything wrong. Qingxue, what do you want to find?”

He meant that she couldn’t find anything.

Shi Qingxue didn’t comment on Mo Junyu’s action to frustrate her enthusiasm but replied vaguely, “I want to find something… Your Highness, can you tell me where the three groups of people searched?”

Seeing that Shi Qingxue still didn’t give up, Mo Junyu responded straightforwardly, “We have searched everywhere before, on the floor, the door and windows, the pillar… We even searched on the beam and tiles and checked everything but didn’t find the poison.”

In another word, they still didn’t know how the murderer poisoned it.

“Right, there is one place that they didn’t check!” While Mo Junyu spoke, his eyes lit up.

He looked at Shi Qingxue excitedly and added in a hurry, “The bird cage. It’s in King Rui’s mansion.”

With that, he was going to walk outside.

Shi Qingxue hurriedly stopped him and reminded, “We will certainly go to King Rui’s mansion. Now we just check this room once more, and some clues can only be found here.”

“For example?” Mo Junyu stopped in his tracks and stared at Shi Qingxue curiously.

“For example, how did the murderer poison the colorful phenix?” Shi Qingxue didn’t keep him in suspense but spoke out the purpose of her arrival.

Mo Junyu thought for a second and then stated with certainty, “Anyway, there is nothing wrong with my people. The murderer must be an outsider and might be…” Junjiu.

“Your Highness, please speak with caution.”

Shi Qingxue lowered her head and looked obedient.

Mo Junyu laughed awkwardly and didn’t bother about this subject anymore.

He asked, “They searched everywhere in this room and didn’t find any clue. We don’t know how the colorful phenix died. How do you plan to seek?

“We will just waste time here. It’s better to have a look at the bird cage. I doubt that somebody put the poison in the cage in the beginning.”

“Then why did the colorful phenix die from the poison after so many days? Doctor Shen said that the poison would have an effect soon and is quite powerful. It would explode in an instant. So he assumed that the bird was poisoned at night before the birthday party at the earliest.”

Shi Qingxue didn’t mind and shared all the information she had known so far with Mo Junyu, making him lose heart once more. Then she comforted him, “Your Highness, don’t be anxious. The murderer killed it, and some clue must have been left. They didn’t find it earlier because they didn’t use the right method. This time, let’s try another way.”

“What do you plan to do?” Mo Junyu didn’t dare to put on airs but asked Shi Qingxue seriously and politely.

Shi Qingxue raised her head and looked around. Then her eyes fell on the beam above the bird cage, and she pointed to somewhere, asking, “Did you send somebody up to check there?”

“We naturally checked, but we didn’t find people’s footsteps…” Mo Junyu paused for a minute and seemed to think of something, looking hesitant.

After quite a while, Mo Junyu continued hesitantly, “But we found a sign on the top of the beam, as if something was stuck to it. I think that when they were cleaning up this room, the servants found a stain so they wiped it away. And I don’t think it’s strange.”

“Hmm,” Shi Qingxue replied vaguely and didn’t express her opinion about his guess.

She just gave the oil lamp to Xia Mang and told her, “Put it out.”

Then she closed the room door from inside.

Mo Junyu watched as the light was blocked gradually and shouted at once, “It’s so dark in the room. We can see nothing after you close the door, right?”
