Mo Junhao almost saw the throne in the large hall waving at him, so he was over the moon and more impolite to Mo Junyang.

“What the hell is Mo Junyang?

“After I take the throne, I will be the sovereign of the country. Won’t Mo Junyang have to bow to me?”

At this thought, Mo Junhao looked at Mo Junyang with disdain.

Mo Junyang didn’t mind but still kept expressionless, while Shi Qingxue behind him felt indignant for him.

Huh!

“Does this man really think that he can get that position if Mo Junyu is in trouble?

“Stop daydreaming!”

Shi Qingxue spat at Mo Junhao in secret. Not to mention that Mo Xiangbin had more sons besides Mo Junhao, even if only he was left, she would try every means to stop him from taking the throne.

In the previous life, Mo Junhao had been on the throne for three years in comfort with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, she was locked up in the Cold Palace and lived in pain and despair for three years.

She hadn’t taken revenge on Mo Junhao for the old grudges, so he was still her mortal enemy.

In fact, what made Shi Qingxue angriest was Mo Junhao’s attitude toward Mo Junyang. Why did Mo Junhao look Mo Junyang up and down as if looking at a servant?

He was not more honorable than Mo Junyang.

Shi Qingxue wanted to find an excuse to teach Mo Junhao a lesson, while Mo Junyang grabbed her hand secretly before she spoke.

Shi Qingxue turned her head in confusion, to see that Mo Junyang turned to her, with gentleness that she couldn’t understand in his black eyes.

Then she saw that the man shook his head at her, which could hardly be noticed.

Did he tell her not to speak?

Shi Qingxue pursed her lips. Although she didn’t know Mo Junyang’s intention, she kept silent obediently, letting him hold her hand and walk past Mo Junhao before going out to continue with their work.

Right. Their top priority was to make Mo Junyu clear of murder as soon as possible. Otherwise, when he was convicted, it would be troublesome.

While thinking, Shi Qingxue felt less restless and even looked away from Mo Junhao, in case that her mood was affected.

She didn’t know that after she lowered her head, Mo Junhao fixed his eyes on her with complex emotions in them, like obsessiveness, resentment or love that probably he couldn’t explain.

Then Mo Junhao met Mo Junyang’s eyes.

Different from the indifference earlier, Mo Junyang’s eyes seemed to be covered with black fog, with strong darkness like an abyss, looking terrifying.

Even though Mo Junhao belittled Mo Junyang just now, he was frightened by Mo Junyang’s eyes and stepped backward involuntarily.

However, he reacted soon, so he unyieldingly held up his head and threw out his chest, looking into Mo Junyang’s eyes, as if saying, “What do you want?”

Mo Junyang naturally wouldn’t speak to Mo Junhao. He just glanced at this prince indifferently and then left the prison with Shi Qingxue.

At the moment, they didn’t need to say anything.

After the result of the investigation came out, they would know the truth.

Mo Junhao noticed this meaning from Mo Junyang’s last glance.

He got furious and meanwhile felt scared for no reason.

“Ziyuan, what do you think he wants to do?” Mo Junhao stood at the door of the prison and murmured.

The second legitimate son of the Minister of Penalty, Luo Ziyuan was in the prison of the Ministry of Penalty, but he had a clear estimation of himself and hid perfectly, pretending to be invisible.

When Mo Junhao asked, Luo Ziyuan stepped forward and replied in a low voice, “His Excellency is the crown prince’s follower and wants to delay it for him. Then he will find a scapegoat randomly and save the crown prince. Your Highness, haven’t you guessed such a trick?”

“Right! I guessed it before he came, yet just now I couldn’t help but feel restless.” Mo Junhao really took Luo Ziyuan as his trusted subordinate and didn’t hide his fidget.

Luo Ziyuan comforted him in a soft voice, “Your Highness, don’t be anxious. You just need to tell Lord Feng tomorrow to ask him to punish the murderer and avenge His Majesty as soon as possible. No matter how much His Excellency wants to delay it, he can’t delay any longer.”

Mo Junhao furrowed his brows tightly. “But haven’t you heard his words? Does he suspect…”

“Your Highness, please speak with caution!” Luo Ziyuan interrupted Mo Junhao in a hurry and stared at him seriously.

Mo Junhao held his breath and finally realized what he almost spoke out.

He really almost doomed eternally.

The fourth prince couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief. Then he looked at Luo Ziyuan with gratitude in his eyes. “Thanks a lot.”

Luo Ziyuan waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

He knew that Mo Junhao was not so impatient and that he couldn’t bear it because he experienced great changes and was irritated by Mo Junyang’s words.

“It’s after midnight. Your Highness, it’s inconvenient for you to return home. How about having a short rest in the Ministry of Penalty?” Luo Ziyuan suggested considerately.

Mo Junhao really felt exhausted.

He had consumed much energy in only a few hours, and he couldn’t stand it even though he was strong.

However, it was obvious that Mo Junyang would interrogate the servants at night, and Mo Junhao wouldn’t set his mind at ease if he didn’t watch on the spot.

Mo Junhao stood there for a while and gritted his teeth, insisting, “No need. I will check what information Mo Junyang can get from the servants.”

In the final analysis, Mo Junhao was scared.

He thought that he had done it perfectly, yet it was always wise to play safe.

What if a stupid servant had shown up outside the emperor’s bedroom…

While pondering, Mo Junhao felt more panicked and walked to the principal hall more quickly.

When he reached the place where Mo Junyang was interrogating, the latter had asked some servants.

He questioned the two guards at the door of the emperor’s bedroom some common questions first. He just asked who came in and out of the bedroom that day and the exact time.

He told the guards to write the names down in order of arrival.

Seeing that one of the guards bent over the table writing, Mo Junhao felt nervous and frightened uncontrollably.

“Your Excellency, what are you going to do?”

Mo Junyang responded with a lift of his eyebrow, “Of course, I want to know who the suspects are.”

“As you said, anybody who has been to the bedroom may be the murderer?” Mo Junhao furiously pointed out Mo Junyang’s absurd action.

Unexpectedly, Mo Junyang just shrugged. “Anybody can be a suspect before the murderer shows up, right?”

“Who said that the murderer didn’t show up? We caught Junyu on the spot. Isn’t it enough?” Mo Junhao was aggressive.

“Do you want to cover up for him even though you know that he is the murderer? Oh, right. I almost forgot that you are his follower.”

Mo Junhao intentionally irritated Mo Junyang in a provocative tone.

However, who was Mo Junyang? He wouldn’t be enraged by such provocation but only glanced at him, asking in reply in a disdainful tone, too, “I am investigating the case now. Why are you so emotional, Your Highness? Are you on the list of suspects?”

Mo Junhao who was seen through accurately was speechless.

Mo Junyang was sophisticated and could certainly see Mo Junhao’s emotion changes.

However, he didn’t point it out but stood in silence after making Mo Junhao shut his annoying mouth.

The guard made a list of names and then gave it to Mo Junyang.

Mo Junyang carefully checked the names on it and then glanced at Mo Junhao again.

He smiled faintly.

Mo Junhao was neurotic like a frightened bird, and Mo Junyang’s glance made him explode in an instant. He yelled at Mo Junyang in a shaky tone, “Why are you looking at me? Even if my name is on the list, so what? When I left, Father was still alive, and the murderer can’t be me. Quan can prove it.

“After I left, Father told Quan to summon Junyu to the imperial palace and then was murdered by Junyu mercilessly.”

Quan was mentioned by name, so he had to step forward and say, “As His Highness said, after he left, I sent somebody to summon the crown prince as His Majesty ordered.”

Since Mo Junhao had a reliable witness, he got complacent again and smiled at Mo Junyang with provocation, indicating, “Huh! Don’t try to accuse me falsely.”

Mo Junyang ignored his defiance and then turned to Quan, asking, “Did you say that His Majesty told you to summon the crown prince?”

“Yes, yes.” Quan swallowed and stuttered while answering.

He was afraid of this man with great momentum and didn’t dare to meet Mo Junyang’s eyes or neglect him.

He stammered and told Mo Junyang what had happened last night in details, including the sounds of teacups falling on the floor in the bedroom.

Mo Junhao heard that and had a headache.

He almost said something to stop the eunuch several times, yet in the end, he gritted his teeth and didn’t do that to confess without torture.

Although what Quan said wasn’t enough to prove Mo Junyu’s innocence, nor could it prove that Mo Junhao was the murderer, Mo Junhao knew that only this point could make Mo Junyang suspect him.

At this thought, he shuddered with fear.

Why didn’t he deal with Quan earlier?

After hearing Quan’s statement, Mo Junyang stared at the name list in his hand indifferently. Nobody could tell whether he was angry from the expression on his face, but all people’s hearts sank.

So…

Did Mo Junyang find something wrong?

When all people couldn’t help but doubt that Mo Junyang intentionally delayed it because he couldn’t find the real murderer, he suddenly raised his head and smiled at Mo Junhao gently, which sent a shiver down this prince’s back with his hair standing on end.

He asked, “So you had a fierce quarrel with His Majesty before his death?”

As expected…

Mo Junhao knew that Mo Junyang wouldn’t let him go. His heart was plunged into dire suffering, yet he wasn’t so afraid anymore after his conjecture finally came true.

He raised his head and met Mo Junyang’s eyes, asking peacefully, “Right. So what?”

Mo Junyang showed a smile. “Nothing, but…you have the motive to kill your father, right?”

Mo Junhao felt that his heart skipped a beat, seeming to say, “Damn it.”
