The Great Planned Marriage: Becoming A Splendid Princess
Ling Ruiyin stopped crying yet returned calm soon.
She wiped the tears on her face calmly and then turned to Mo Junhao, asking unhurriedly, “What did you say?”
Mo Junhao knew that Ling Ruiyin was partial to Mo Junyu, but now there was evidence, so he didn’t fear.
He said calmly, “I said that Junyu killed Father. Grandma, please punish the murderer severely and avenge Father.”
This time, no matter how Ling Ruiyin controlled herself, there was shock in her eyes.
She finally noticed that Mo Junyu was pressed by some people and knelt on the floor. He looked at her and couldn’t move.
“Grandma, I didn’t…”
Mo Junyu tried to defend himself, while Mo Junhao rebuked in advance, “Who can it be except you? Father was fine earlier, but why did he pass away as soon as you entered the room? It was obvious that you killed Father in secret because you envy him.”
“No! If I killed Father, why am I still here waiting for you to catch me?” Mo Junyu tried his best to find the contradiction.
Mo Junhao sneered. “Because you didn’t expect that I and Quan would find it so soon and enter the bedroom to catch you on the spot.”
His accusation was reasonable, and the time, place and motive could be proven. Everything showed that Mo Junyu was the criminal who had killed his father, the emperor.
Ling Ruiyin could hardly retain her composure at last, and her fingers in her wide sleeves couldn’t stop trembling.
Anyway, she was Mo Xiangbin’s mother. Even though the mother and son in the royal family were not as close as those in the ordinary families, she still loved this son. No matter how partial to Mo Junyu she was, when the evidence was present, she couldn’t stress that the murderer was not Mo Junyu in front of Mo Junhao.
Even Ling Ruiyin had the suspicion flashing in her brain. Was it possible that the murderer was Mo Junyu?
At this thought, Ling Ruiyin looked at Mo Junyu, and her eyes were different from before. “Crown Prince, what do you want to say to me?”
Mo Junyu turned pale and cold sweat fell from his forehead. He still racked his brains to find some evidence which was favorable to him.
However, the servants’ indication and what had been found at the scene of the crime proved that he was the murderer.
“No. It’s not true. Grandma, please trust me. I didn’t kill Father…”
Mo Junyu’s shout was powerless and only to justify himself with lame excuses in others’ ears.
Mo Junhao snorted. “We will know it after we tell the Ministry of Penalty to investigate. Grandma, please give orders.”
Ling Ruiyin glanced at Mo Junyu hesitantly and then turned to Mo Junhao. “After all, it is a domestic affair of the royal family. I think that it’s more proper to leave it to the Imperial Kinship Bureau.”
“Father has passed away, and it can’t be covered up. If we don’t bring the murderer to justice, I am afraid that we can’t explain to all people in the country. Grandma, please make a fair judgment.” Mo Junhao was upright and outspoken and stated.
Ling Ruiyin was at a loss for what to do, so she had to listen to Mo Junhao and tell the Ministry of Penalty to imprison Mo Junyu. At the same time, she told some people to make preparations for Mo Xiangbin’s funeral.
It was at midnight, yet the sky was bright with lights. There were footsteps and whines around, which made the imperial palace full of sorrow.
Ling Ruiyin didn’t return to her palace but stayed with Mo Xiangbin’s dead body in a trance all the time.
Mammy Chang found something wrong and reminded in a low voice, “Your Majesty, we can’t let it be. If the crown prince is convicted, he can’t take the throne.”
“I know, yet if he really murdered the emperor after investigation, I won’t let him go, not to mention taking the throne.”
Ling Ruiyin’s voice was ruthless and angry as she was disappointed at Mo Junyu.
Mammy Chang thought of something and reminded again, “But in this case, that position will…”
The late empress was Ling Ruiyin’s niece, so she protected the crown prince more and hoped that he could take the throne in the end.
She had planned for it all the time these years. If she was told that her plan of so many years would be in vain, she couldn’t accept such a result even though she wouldn’t be implicated as she was the Empress Dowager.
At this thought, Ling Ruiyin touched her forehead sadly and said helplessly, “I know that you want to say that if the crown prince is in trouble, only the fourth prince could take the throne, and you are afraid that he will harm me, right?”
“I don’t dare to comment on the fourth prince, but all people are partial. The fourth prince is not as close to you as the crown prince. Er…” Mammy Chang expressed what she thought about roughly while stuttering.
In fact, it could be understood easily.
Ling Ruiyin loved Mo Junyu and had suppressed Mo Junhao. If Mo Junhao became the emperor, he wouldn’t treat this grandmother well.
“I know this reason, too, but now, what do you think I can do?” Ling Ruiyin sighed deeply.
If she had another choice, she wouldn’t put herself in a dilemma.
She could blame nobody as Mo Xiangbin died all of a sudden, and all people were caught off guard.
Ling Ruiyin paused for a moment and then looked at Mammy Chang suddenly. “Do you mean…”
Mammy Chang nodded seriously. “Right, His Excellency.”
Ling Ruiyin was lost in thought and started to weigh.
She always knew that Mo Junyang was capable, but in her old and experienced eyes, this man was too distant and difficult to get along with.
Mo Junyang appeared to be the most loyal follower of the crown prince and had exhausted his energy to do everything for Mo Junyu, yet if he rebelled, he wouldn’t frown.
And almost nobody could see such a man’s weakness. It was fine to have mutual benefit with him, but it was a risk to rely on him. Although Mo Xiangbin trusted Mo Junyang a lot seemingly, she always taught Mo Junyu to be independent and not to leave everything to Mo Junyang.
He had to hold back a trick or two, in case that Mo Junyang rebelled in the future. Then Mo Junyu wouldn’t have no power to resist.
Since Mo Junyu acted as regent, the two cousins drifted apart obviously these days.
Ling Ruiyin was complacent because of her sagaciousness, yet now she had to ask Mo Junyang for help.
She couldn’t lower herself.
“Your Majesty, this thing is significant. If we can’t save the crown prince, all our previous effort will be in vain. Are you willing to see that?” Mammy Chang had served Ling Ruiyin for so many years, and her words could point out what Ling Ruiyin feared and worried.
As expected, she saw that Ling Ruiyin nodded reluctantly after frowning. “Go out of the imperial palace with my edict. Tell Junyang to hear this case and be sure to bring the real murderer to justice.”
Mo Junhao refused to leave Mo Junyu to the Imperial Kinship Bureau just because Mo Junyang was in charge of the Imperial Kinship Bureau. If Mo Junyu was sent to that bureau, even if Mo Junyu had killed the emperor, he could be found innocent, not to mention that there were many doubtful points in this case.
However, it was different after he was sent to the Ministry of Penalty. The minister Luo Sen was the fourth prince’s follower, so Mo Junhao could accuse Mo Junyu of any crime as he wished.
On the other hand, Mo Junhao was worried that Mo Junyang would get involved.
Although he thought that Mo Junyu could hardly escape even if he had wings as this plot was flawless, he wasn’t so confident when it came to Mo Junyang.
Having confronted him for so many times, Mo Junhao still hadn’t found Mo Junyang’s real strength after testing. It could be seen how horrible that man was.
If he could, Mo Junhao didn’t want to have a conflict with Mo Junyang.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sent Mo Junyu to the prison of the Ministry of Penalty, Mo Junyang came with the Empress Dowager’s edict to interrogate Mo Junyu.
More exactly, he came to investigate the assassination of the emperor.
When Mo Junhao looked at Shi Qingxue next to Mo Junyang, he hated them so much that he almost broke his teeth.
“Your Excellency, where do you plan to start?” Even though Mo Junhao wanted to eat Mo Junyang’s flesh and drink his blood, he couldn’t show any resentment but had to welcome Mo Junyang respectfully.
After all, at this critical juncture, Mo Junyang represented the Empress Dowager.
Mo Junyang glanced at him lazily. “Find all people who showed up in His Majesty’s bedroom last night and then interrogate them one after another to see if I can find some traces.”
Even though the emperor’s bedroom was not big, the number of the maids, guards, eunuchs and all kinds of workers must be more than one hundred. If he interrogated all of them, when could he finish it?
Who would neglect the prime suspect close at hand and seek far, starting to fish a needle out of the sea?
Mo Junhao found at a glance that Mo Junyang would delay it, so he protested, “Your Excellency, now the murderer is close at hand, yet you plan to interrogate the servants who know nothing. Do you want to delay it and cover up for Junyu?”
His eyes were cold and aggressive, insisting on forcing Mo Junyang to clarify his position.
However, Mo Junyang remained unmoved and just glanced at him casually, asking in reply, “Your Highness, you haven’t asked those servants. How do you know that they know nothing?”
Mo Junhao was stunned. Obviously, he hadn’t expected that Mo Junyang would say that.
“His Majesty’s bedroom is so spacious and many people come and go. Perhaps some people saw the process of murdering but don’t dare to say it because of the murderer’s identity.
“Your Highness, you don’t want me to ask the servants so much. Are you afraid that it will be harmful to you after I find the truth?”
While speaking, Mo Junyang looked at Mo Junhao, with his eyes becoming meaningful.
Mo Junhao was speechless.
He knew that Mo Junyang said that in order to irritate him intentionally, yet he felt guilty inevitably.
However, he still swelled out his chest and said forcefully, “Why am I afraid? I just think that you will waste time on doing that. If you insist, just investigate.”
As he was speaking, he seemed to have more confidence and raised his head, snorting at Mo Junyang. “It’s fine to investigate it, but if you can’t find anything in the end, don’t blame me after I show no mercy and charge you with negligence of duty.”

Mammy Chang cautiously observed Ling Ruiyin’s face and suddenly reminded, “Perhaps somebody can share your worries.”Ling Ruiyin paused for a moment and then looked at Mammy Chang suddenly. “Do you mean…”
