Chapter 216: Fainted with Anger

Hearing the news about Mo Junjiu’s death, Shi Qingxue responded subconsciously, “No way!”

How could Mo Junjiu have died?

However, Shen Luo’s serious expression told them that he didn’t lie.

It was silent at the gate of King Rui’s mansion and nobody knew what to say.

Mo Junyang asked, “Where is he now?”

Qu Yuebai frowned and said helplessly, “Some people came from the imperial palace and took Mo Junjiu’s dead body into the palace just now. The Empress Dowager issued a decree and told you and Lady Qingxue to enter the palace right away.”

Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang thought alike and looked at each other, seeing a grim expression in the other party’s eyes.

A storm was brewing.

Both of them kept silent and entered the palace after telling the subordinates to do something later.

They came to Mo Xiangbin’s bedroom.

Mo Xiangbin just woke up and was overjoyed to see Mo Junyang.

He waved at Mo Junyang to let him come over and asked, “How is the rebellion now?”

“We do as you hoped and the capital is safe now. The rebel army outside the city is surrounded by the Shi Army.” Mo Junyang told him about the current situation simply.

Mo Xiangbin nodded repeatedly and asked with joy, “How about the bastard Mo Junjiu? Have you captured him?”

Mo Junyang hesitated for a moment and still nodded.

“Good. Good. Good!” Mo Xiangbin said this word three times successively and seemed to have vented his spleen.

Then he told the servants to bring Mo Junjiu and cursed resentfully, “This bastard has overthrown the basic standards of morality. I will teach him a lesson today.”

However, after he had finished his words for a while, all people around him didn’t move but looked weird.

Mo Xiangbin frowned with displeasure and shouted at the eunuch Xiaode who served him, “Didn’t you hear what I told you? Hurry up and bring him to me.”

Xiaode was awkward and looked at Mo Xiangbin. Then he glanced at Ling Ruiyin who stayed silent with her dark face. He was anxious and helpless.

“Bastard, why are you hesitating? Do you want me to beg you?” Mo Xiangbin cursed impatiently.

He was going to grab Xiaode’s collar, but because he was weak, he fell on the bed as soon as he sat straight.

Ling Ruiyin was scared and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, advising him patiently, “Your Majesty, you have just recovered. Don’t get angry.”

Mo Xiangbin supported his weak body with effort and waved his hand nonchalantly. “I am fine.”

Nobody knew if he didn’t notice something wrong or subconsciously ignored some possibility.

He insisted on gazing at Xiaode and requested an answer.

Xiaode had no choice under his gaze but to kneel on the floor, replying while trembling, “When His Excellency tried to capture His Highness under orders, an accident happened… His Highness…was poisoned to death!”

“What?” Mo Xiangbin turned pale in astonishment.

He roared and spat fresh blood on Mo Junyang’s black military uniform as a general.

His eyes rolled upward and he fell into a coma.

“Your Majesty!”

“Father!”

Ling Ruiyin and Mo Junhao shouted at the same time and elbowed their way to the bedside.

But Mo Xiangbin was unconscious and couldn’t be awakened no matter how they called.

Mo Junhao was anxious and instantly told somebody to call for a royal doctor.

All the royal doctors from the Imperial Academy of Medicine came here and filled the emperor’s bedroom.

All people were in a flurry, but after fifteen minutes, the royal doctors knelt all over the floor, while there was no convincible diagnosis result.

“What’s wrong with His Majesty? Tell me!” Ling Ruiyin was as restless as ants on a hot pan and kept walking back and forth, looking at the bed constantly.

The council of the Imperial Academy of Medicine, An Lin knelt in the front and faltered, “His Majesty, might have a stroke. I am afraid…”

“What?” Ling Ruiyin trembled and almost fainted.

Shi Qingxue immediately stepped forward to support Ling Ruiyin, comforting her. “Your Majesty, be careful.”

Ling Ruiyin waved her hand and supported her forehead, sighing deeply. Then she stared at the royal doctors on the floor and ordered coldly, “I don’t care what method you will use. Be sure to cure His Majesty. Otherwise, you can kill yourselves.”

“Yes. Yes!”

Every royal doctor displayed a sad face and could do nothing but bite the bullet to take the deadly job. Then they started to get busy with their work.

They gave the prescription, selected medicinal materials, boiled medicine and then brought the medicine.

A stroke was horrible, but somebody had suffered from this disease before, so the royal doctors did everything quickly.

In less than an hour, a bowl of medicine was brought to the bedroom.

Ling Ruiyin hurriedly stepped aside. An Lin held the medicine bowl in both hands and came up to feed Mo Xiangbin the medicine.

There was a new problem.

Mo Xiangbin was unconscious. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t make him swallow the medicine.

They finally fed him a bowl of medicine, but most of it was poured on the collar.

The patient couldn’t swallow the medicine, so they were powerless no matter how good the medicine was.

The royal doctors were anxious with sweat on their heads, while Ling Ruiyin’s eyes were red, and she was going to shed tears.

Shi Qingxue was also nervous and turned to Mo Junyang.

She hinted, “Why don’t you tell Shen Luo to come and have a try?”

Mo Junyang shook his head slightly and didn’t speak.

Shi Qingxue was stunned and then understood.

Mo Xiangbin was not an ordinary person. A stroke was not a serious disease, but it was troublesome. If Shen Luo could cure Mo Xiangbin, everything would be fine, but if there was something wrong, many people would be implicated.

Mo Junyang wanted to be low-key, but others didn’t want him to stay out of this matter.

At the moment, Mo Junhao advised Ling Ruiyin. “Grandma, now all the doctors are at a loss what to do. How about we ask the miracle-working doctor Shen in King Rui’s mansion to come and have a try?”

“Uh…” Ling Ruiyin looked hesitant and didn’t agree at once.

No matter how famous Doctor Shen was, in the bigwigs’ eyes, he was just a folk doctor and they didn’t dare to ask him randomly.

Mo Junhao advised again in a sincere tone, “Doctor Shen’s medical skills are superb. Maybe he can cure Father at once. Moreover, with one more person, we will have more hope. We should have a try.”

Ling Ruiyin finally changed her mind and nodded, telling Xiaode to call for Shen Luo in King Rui’s mansion. At the same time, she urged the royal doctors to continue to feed Mo Xiangbin the medicine.

“Your Majesty, have a seat first.” Seeing that Ling Ruiyin was almost out of breath for several times, Shi Qingxue nimbly told a young eunuch to bring a chair, so that Ling Ruiyin could stay next to Mo Xiangbin.

Ling Ruiyin smiled at Shi Qingxue with comfort but insisted and didn’t sit down. Instead, she looked at Mo Junyang who was quiet all the time.

She asked distantly, “His Majesty just told you to capture Junjiu, but why did you make him die? What exactly happened?”

Mo Junyang merely kept silent and didn’t plan to explain even after quite a while.

Shi Qingxue felt anxious for him as she saw that.

“He is an idiot. Mo Junjiu’s death has nothing to do with him. Why doesn’t he explain?”

If Mo Junyang didn’t explain, later all people would think that Mo Junjiu had been killed by him.

Shi Qingxue waited a long time and saw that Mo Junyang was still dumb.

She couldn’t help but explain for him, “Your Majesty, when His Excellency chased His Highness, I was present and know what happened then. His Highness’ death was an accident and has nothing to do with His Excellency.”

Shi Qingxue affirmed, and all people’s eyes fell on her in an instant.

Mo Junyang also turned to her and showed a complicated expression. He wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Shi Qingxue rolled her eyes in secret and ignored him.

She continued to explain to Ling Ruiyin, “His Highness wanted to run away on horseback then, and His Excellency had no choice but to shoot three darts, which hit the horse’s front legs and His Highness’ thigh respectively. His Highness fell off the horse’s back but wasn’t injured. However, it showed that he was poisoned.

“So His Excellency promptly told Wei Zichao to take His Highness to see a doctor, but the poison was strong and attacked quickly, so His Highness died soon.”

“Didn’t it mean that His Excellency put poison on the darts so my son lost his life?” Liang Jingxian suddenly cut in in a harsh voice.

She was standing at the door of the bedroom. Seeing that all people looked at her, she walked to Ling Ruiyin quickly and begged loudly, “Mother, you need to seek justice for me. Junjiu can’t die for no reason.”

Ling Ruiyin frowned and was about to speak.

Shi Qingxue responded smartly, “Your Majesty, His Excellency didn’t put poison on the darts, and Doctor Shen found the same poison on His Highness’ naked skin and clothes, so he guessed that His Highness had put poison on himself. Such poison would work only after it enters the blood in the human body, and it doesn’t matter when it is on the skin.

“But His Highness was hit by the dart and the poison liquid flew into his body through the wound, so he was poisoned to death.

“This tragedy was just an accident. After all, nobody expected that His Highness would put poison on himself. His Excellency just tried to capture His Highness under orders. How would he hurt His Highness intentionally? Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly.”

Perhaps Ling Ruiyin accepted Shi Qingxue’s explanation. Although her face was still dark, she didn’t look at Mo Junyang as fiercely as before.

Liang Jingxian thought that it was messed up and hurriedly shouted in anger, “This is a one-sided statement and you just guessed that. Why would my son put poison on himself? The swords and knives on the battlefield are blind, and he wouldn’t be so stupid as to court death.

“You must want to cover up for Mo Junyang and deny his crime as he killed my son with poisonous darts, so you find an excuse to fool my mother-in-law!”

Every word of hers was hurtful and piercing.

She shouted in a sad voice, which was enough to move many people.

Shi Qingxue calmly waited Liang Jingxian to finish her words and then said, “What I said is true. Your Majesty, if you don’t believe me, you can send people to have a look at the scene now. His Excellency shot three darts then and the other two hit the horse’s legs. As long as you return there to see if the horse was poisoned, you would know if there was poison on the darts.”

Her voice was calm and forceful.

She was really confident, so she dared to say that.

No matter how pitiful Liang Jingxian was, she was powerless when she faced the truth.

“So you mean that my son courted death?” Since Liang Jingxian couldn’t outargue Shi Qingxue, she started to pester the girl.

She pointed at Shi Qingxue’s nose and cursed loudly, “Shi Qingxue, Yuzhen takes you as her best friend, but you repay her in this way? My son was alive but died so soon. Shouldn’t the murderer take the responsibility?”

Shi Qingxue was speechless. In fact she really wanted to say that Mo Junjiu asked for this ending.

But in order not to irritate Liang Jingxian, she was sensible and didn’t point out the truth.

She just said indifferently, “In front of the evidence, nobody can tell a lie. I am Her Highness’ good friend, but I can’t say something false because of our friendship. Your Majesty, please forgive me.”

Liang Jingxian’s expression changed and she yelled, “I don’t care. My son died, and you have to take the responsibility! Give my son back to me…”

“Enough!” Ling Ruiyin had a headache and rubbed her forehead, stopping Liang Jingxian’s cry.

She cursed crossly in a low voice, “You are the empress but make a scene in front of the young generation. What’s wrong with you?”

Liang Jingxian paused for a while and looked stiff.

After a while, she was still reluctant and argued, “Mother, Junjiu is your grandson, too. You can’t…”
