Chapter 236: Harm and then Help Him

“We don’t need to…”

As soon as Mo Junyang started, Mo Junyu thought this man was stupid and didn’t resist the enemies even when they were in front of him, so he got angry. “Are you kidding? I won’t allow them to wrong you. If you are really unwilling, then…”

“I didn’t mean that.” Mo Junyang interrupted Mo Junyu helplessly.

Before the crown prince lost temper, Mo Junyang had to tell him what Mo Xiangbin had promised. “His Majesty said that he would help me solve this problem, so we need to do nothing but wait for the result quietly, and…”

He paused for a while and his deep eyes fell on Mo Junyu. Then he continued indifferently, “And if we leave this case to His Majesty, we might get an unexpected result. For example…find the real murderer behind it.”

“Yes, yes!” Mo Junyu answered in a daze and didn’t react after a long time.

Although he firmly believed that Mo Junyang would never kill Mo Junjiu, he never expected that Mo Xiangbin didn’t suspect Mo Junyang at all but even said that he would help Mo Junyang solve the problem.

Even the most favored fourth prince Mo Junhao never had this special treatment.

But Mo Xiangbin gave it to his nephew Mo Junyang.

He remembered that Mo Xiangbin trusted Mo Junyang more and was closer and better to this guy these days even than him and Mo Junhao.

Mo Junyu had a sour feeling for no reason.

He forced a smile and joked with jealousy, “Father treats you better and better, and the ones who don’t know the truth would think that you are his son.”

Mo Junyang’s hands hidden in his sleeves got stiff all of a sudden, but the expression on his face didn’t change.

After a while, he responded slowly, “Your Highness, you are joking.”

As soon as Mo Junyu finished his words, he also thought that what he said was laughable.

If Mo Junyang was really a prince, even without the help of his mother’s family, it was uncertain who would take the throne in the future as he was so capable.

And Mo Xiangbin favored him. Then…

Mo Junyu was scared by his imagination and hurriedly shook his head to get rid of this absurd thought. Meanwhile he felt lucky in secret.

Fortunately, Mo Junyang was not a prince and sided with him.

After working with Mo Junyang for so many years, Mo Junyu reached the only conclusion that he shouldn’t be this man’s enemy.

The calmer Mo Junyang looked, the more fathomless he was.

Mo Junyu did something and thought that nobody observed it, but Mo Junyang noticed it unexpectedly.

However, Mo Junyang didn’t say anything but looked on coldly.

After quite a while, Mo Junyang asked unhurriedly, “Your Highness, why did you tell somebody to ask me to come?”

“Ah? Oh!” Mo Junyu stopped his wild imagination.

He replied seriously, “You have seen what happened in the imperial study today. The Shi family is powerful and attracts much attention, so Father fears them. If we don’t do anything now, perhaps the Shi family would hardly be saved.”

So Mo Junyu knew Mo Junyang better than Mo Xiangbin. From the beginning, he didn’t ask Mo Junyang for his opinion.

With Shi Qingxue, Mo Junyu thought that this man wouldn’t stand by and do nothing when the Shi family declined even if he didn’t like that family.

Mo Junyang didn’t negate but just asked, “Your Highness, do you have a solution?”

“This…” As soon as Mo Junyu started, he thought of something and suddenly changed the subject. He stated, “In fact, all people know that the members of the Shi family are loyal, and Shi Junhe is not an exception.

Duke Shi of this generation is Father’s most loyal official. Junjiu couldn’t buy him over, and Junhao can’t lure him. And even I…can’t. So Shi Junhe is the only one that Father can trust. However…”

“But the emperor is suspicious, and the Shi family is powerful in a high position, winning the popular support, which makes the emperor unhappy.” Seeing that Mo Junyu stuttered with difficulty, Mo Junyang spoke for him.

Noticing that he finally aroused Mo Junyang’s interest, Mo Junyu nodded repeatedly with a smile. “Exactly, so I said that the Shi family is in danger this time, and I just got the news that Junhao plans to protect the Shi family, too.”

“Oh?” Mo Junyang showed some interests on his cold face but soon returned calm. He asked impassively, “Why? I remember that Imperial Censor Chen who impeached the Shi family seems to be the fourth prince’s follower.”

He found somebody to impeach the Shi family and then wanted to save them. Did he have nothing to do?

Mo Junyu sneered with disdain for Mo Junhao. “My brother Junhao is sinister. He told Imperial Censor Chen to impeach the Shi family. When the family is in danger and can’t turn the tables, he would help them. He did Shi Junhe such a great favor, would he be afraid that Duke Shi’s family won’t follow him?”

“But the emperor is suspicious. How would the fourth prince succeed when he wants to help them? Isn’t he afraid that he would go for wool and come home shorn?” Mo Junyang asked in reply indifferently and nobody knew if he believed Mo Junyu’s words.

Mo Junyu showed a bigger smile and explained unhurriedly, “So I said that Junhao played a trick skillfully to leave no room for maneuver for escape so that he will fight for his dear life out of desperation. Because all people think so, Imperial Censor Chen impeached the Shi family, but nobody would think that he was told by Junhao. Nobody knew he had made preparations.”

Mo Junyang’s eyes blinked, and he asked in a deep voice, “Do you mean that he has a way to make His Majesty trust the Shi family again? What is it?”

“Gee, it’s said that rich water should be kept in one’s own fields. The Shi family is loyal but not stable enough and might rebel someday. After all, there is an example that the ancestor of the Zhao family made himself the emperor even though he was a high official. No wonder Father is suspicious.

“But have you seen any family related to the royal family by marriage rebel when the prince they support is still alive?”

Mo Junyu spoke directly and didn’t conceal the smile on his face.

He didn’t worry that Mo Junyang wouldn’t believe him because what he said was the truth.

“So the fourth prince prepares to offer that he would marry a young lady from the Shi family as his wife when that family is in a desperate situation and make Duke Shi’s family become his follower. Then the Shi Army’s force would return to the royal family, so His Majesty wouldn’t need to fear the Shi family, and the family wouldn’t worry that they would be suspected by him,”

Mo Junyang expressed in a clear voice slowly.

Perhaps it was his first time to speak out so seriously what Mo Junyu wanted to express.

Mo Junyu nodded repeatedly and rubbed his hands, saying in an excited voice, “That’s his plan. Now I don’t need to say, and you should be able to guess which young lady from the Shi family he wants to marry.”

Last year at this time, Mo Junhao coveted Shi Qingxue and wanted to marry her. He even didn’t mind ruining her fame. Although he didn’t succeed in the end, it didn’t mean that he had given up this plan.

Especially now, the Shi family faced such a big temptation, and Mo Junhao would try his best to marry the beauty.

“It is really a good way to get a wife and the power.”

Mo Junyu tut-tutted and praised, but Mo Junyang gave him a cold glance. “So you wanted to do so, too?”

The crown prince’s heart trembled because of the glance, and he waved his hand instantly, defending himself. “I just said that and never have any improper feeling for Shi Qingxue.

“But I am not sure about Junhao.”

The crown prince didn’t fear that it would become more serious, and he was skilled in causing trouble.

Anybody else might roll his sleeves and fight against the enemy.

Mo Junyang’s face became much colder, but at least he didn’t lose temper. He just stared at Mo Junyu casually.

After a long while, when Mo Junyu felt restless by his stare and almost couldn’t control himself, Mo Junyang asked indifferently, “Your Highness, since you said that, you must have a way to solve this problem, right?”

Mo Junyu was seen through and the smile on his face stiffened.

A moment later, he forced a smile. “I just…”

“Your Highness, have you found that you would forget your identity every time you are nervous or want to hide something?” Mo Junyang asked abruptly.

Mo Junyu was speechless.

Being exposed all of a sudden, the crown prince blushed. He opened and shut his mouth several times, but he couldn’t speak a word.

He didn’t expect that Mo Junyang would observe so carefully and could guess his mind correctly from his slight movements. All his small tricks couldn’t escape from Mo Junyang’s eyes, right?

While thinking, Mo Junyu trembled.

“I…” As soon as Mo Junyang started, he realized that he said something wrong again and hurriedly coughed twice. Then he continued, “I do have a solution, but I need your help, so that I can be sure that there is nothing wrong.”

Mo Junyang didn’t make comments. “Your Highness, what can I do for you?”

Perhaps Mo Junyang’s words scared him, so Mo Junyu stopped playing tricks and stated directly, “First of all, Father trusts you. As long as you marry Shi Qingxue, it can make him stop worrying to some extent, but more importantly, we need to solve this crisis from the root.”

“The root?” Mo Junyang repeated these two words with interest. “Your Highness, what do you think is the root?”

Mo Junyu looked serious and answered forcefully, “The military power.”

Then he gave chapter and verse and explained, “After the first emperor of the Zhao Country took the throne, the military power was scattered and it made him restless even when he ate and slept. Later, he drank with the military officials and demanded them to give out the military power, so he solved the problem that the military power wasn’t under his control without starting a war and protected the officials who helped him establish the Zhao Country. In this way, we can ensure the Shi family’s safety and stability, but I am afraid…”

He leered at Mo Junyang and then continued after seeing that the latter had no reaction, “I am just afraid that Shi Junhe is unwilling to…”

To be frank, Shi Junhe had such a powerful Shi Army in hands, and it was the “fortune” that was built by his father and other elders. Probably nobody would be willing to give it out.

“This is the way I mentioned. It’s easy to say, but it is uncertain if we can put it into effect. After all, I am not familiar with General Shi, and I can’t advise him to make a right decision.”

His hidden meaning was that Mo Junyang, the future son-in-law of the Shi family would have to take the job to try to persuade Shi Junhe.

Of course, Mo Junyu had a secret thought, which was the most important, and he hadn’t spoken it out.

For example, when the military power of the Shi Army was taken back, who would control it?

It might cause another uproar at the imperial court.
