The Great Planned Marriage: Becoming A Splendid Princess
Mo Junhao’s heart beat fast, with all kinds of thoughts flashing in his brain.
He had thousands of excuses.
He could argue that it was nothing as he and Mo Xiangbin made peace soon.
He could say that it was only a spat between the father and son, and it couldn’t be the motive.
He could even explain that even if he had the motive, so what? He didn’t have a chance to kill Mo Xiangbin.
As long as Mo Junhao insisted that Mo Xiangbin was still alive when he left, Mo Junyang could do nothing to him.
However, he didn’t know why he trembled involuntarily when he faced Mo Junyang’s horribly black eyes.
He couldn’t speak out any excuses seemingly.
Mo Junhao’s momentum was suppressed by Mo Junyang. He was the one who should be confident, but his confidence disappeared in front of Mo Junyang.
In the end, he merely glared at Mo Junyang, being outwardly strong yet inwardly weak. “What do you want?”
He thought, “If Mo Junyang really doesn’t let me go, I will fight against him till death.”
Mo Junhao also realized that he was too hot-headed to act like this.
However, he was clear that since he feared Mo Junyang’s capabilities, he wouldn’t be calm as usual in front of this cousin.
Mo Junyang just glanced at him indifferently, as if Mo Junhao were a flower or grass growing by the wayside.
Mo Junhao was irritated again. “Mo Junyang, what on earth do you want? Don’t forget that I am the fourth prince of Mo Country. If you offend me, don’t blame me when I show no mercy in the future.”
Hearing that, Shi Qingxue couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She remembered that Mo Junhao was always proud and insolent because of his talent and thought that he was capable and awesome, able to look down upon everybody even if he weren’t the fourth prince.
So he always hoped that he could conquer everybody with his “really abilities”, yet he was “forced” by Mo Junyang to mention his identity at the moment.
It was so laughable.
Although Shi Qingxue didn’t speak, Mo Junhao instantly understood what she was laughing at, so he had a blush.
He became angry from shame and asked, “Why are you laughing?”
Shi Qingxue looked at Mo Junhao who had lost his composure, and her depression vanished.
After all, everything had its vanquisher.
She was afraid that Mo Junyang couldn’t cope with Mo Junhao as this prince was a despicable hypocrite, so she came here with Mo Junyang.
Nevertheless, it appeared that Mo Junhao feared Mo Junyang so much that he didn’t dare to play dirty tricks on Mo Junyang.
In this case, what should she be worried about?
Shi Qingxue was relieved and ignored Mo Junhao who turned angry from embarrassment. Then she looked at Mo Junyang.
Mo Junyang seemed to feel it and turned to her, saying with a smile, “It’s late now. Go back home to have a rest. Qingmin probably can’t sleep well without you.”
Shi Qingxue thought that perhaps Mo Junyang wanted to deal with this matter in person. After all, it was the domestic affair of the royal family, and she was an official’s daughter, so she couldn’t get involved. She nodded. “Okay. I will wait for you in the villa.”
She grabbed Mo Junyang’s hand in secret. Seeing that the man’s eyes lit up, she couldn’t help but smile slyly as she succeeded in her prank. Then she kept her countenance and withdrew her hand.
Mo Junhao stood in the distance and saw their flirtation clearly. He felt that flames of fury surged in his heart for no reason and almost burnt his reason.
He always knew the special relationship between Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang, yet he firmly believed that she loved him till she was titled as the wife of King Rui’s heir.
She had done everything earlier because she went against Mo Junhao intentionally and wanted to attract his attention.
Till now, he couldn’t deceive himself anymore. The couple really loved each other.
However, it was a matter that Mo Junhao knew this fact, while it was another matter whether he could accept it.
“Mo Junyang, don’t be complacent.” Mo Junhao could hardly retain his composure and warned Mo Junyang in a deep voice.
After Shi Qingxue left, Mo Junyang finally switched some of his attention to Mo Junhao, asking coldly, “Complacent? I should say that to you, Your Highness, right?”
Mo Junhao’s face stiffened, and he understood Mo Junyang’s hidden meaning. The latter seemed to have guessed that he did something to cause Mo Xiangbin’s death, but Mo Junhao didn’t fear at all.
“You have no evidence, so you can do nothing to me.” Mo Junhao showed certainty on his face, and his tone was complacent.
“Yes?”
Mo Junyang didn’t make comments. Then his eyes lit up and fell on Mo Junhao’s right hand. “What if…I have got evidence?”
Panic flashed in Mo Junhao’s eyes, but soon he guessed that Mo Junyang tried to sound him out, so he calmed down at once.
“I’m all ears.”
Anyway, he had the witness Quan to prove that he was not at the scene of the crime. Even though Mo Junyang was silver-tongued, he could do nothing to Mo Junhao.
“Quan, you said that you saw His Highness enter the bedroom to have a secret talk with His Majesty. Did you see him come out?” Mo Junyang turned to Quan and asked at leisure.
Quan instantly thought of what confused him in the bedroom, and his expression changed. He looked up at Mo Junyang in fear and then turned to Mo Junhao.
He wanted to say something yet stopped himself.
“It can prove that there is no evidence that you were not at the scene of the crime, Your Highness.” Mo Junyang answered Mo Junhao’s question directly.
Mo Junhao was stunned. “Of course, there is evidence that I was not at the scene because after I left, Quan entered the bedroom again, but he only saw Father inside. Didn’t it prove that I left the bedroom before Father’s death?”
After speaking, he glanced at Quan as if unintentionally.
Quan had a headache at once.
He was merely a nobody, and he couldn’t afford to offend either of these masters.
However, both of them dragged him into this matter, so he had to bite the bullet and answer, “Yes, yes. Your Excellency, it’s like what His Highness said.”
After hearing that, Mo Junyang looked as if lost in thought.
After a long time, he asked, “Did you say that when you entered the bedroom again, His Majesty was lying in the bed?”
“Yes, but it was His Majesty’s voice. He reached out a hand from the bed, and I saw and heard it clearly. I wouldn’t mistake it.” Quan thought that Mo Junyang blamed him as he left before he saw Mo Xiangbin, so he hurriedly answered with certainty.
As a servant who could be selected to serve the emperor for so long, he must have something that he excelled in to win the master’s favor.
The simple ability to recognize the voice and know the master was no big deal.
To say something improper, even if Mo Xiangbin turned into ashes, Quan could recognize him.
“Gee!”
Mo Junyang didn’t believe him but pointed out, getting right down to the heart of the matter, “So you didn’t see His Majesty?”
“Right, but…” Quan still wanted to defend himself.
Mo Junyang waved his hand and stopped Quan from continuing. He merely pointed to the door with his chin.
Quan followed his eyes, to see that a pale big hand was on the door case as if somebody would come in.
As soon as Quan saw it clearly, his pupils widened and he staggered backward shakily.
He raised his hand while trembling and stretched his finger out. “Your…Your Majesty…”
Before he finished his words, a deep and hoarse voice came from outside.
“Quan, why don’t you do as I ordered?”
It was Mo Xiangbin’s voice.
As soon as this thought flashed in Quan’s brain, he was so scared that he screamed and walked backward repeatedly. Then he was tripped up by something accidentally and fell on the floor.
However, he couldn’t feel the pain seemingly. He still opened his eyes wide and stared at the big hand on the door case.
“No. No way. It’s not…”
Quan shouted wildly and his brain finally couldn’t bear the fear at last. He sobbed and then sank into a coma.
The others in the room also heard that voice, so they got frightened and looked around in panic.
Mo Junhao reacted first and shouted at the door, “Who is pretending to be a ghost outside? If you don’t come out, I will show no mercy.”
Afterward, he grabbed a long sword from a guard next to him and drew the sword, trying to stab the big hand on the door case suddenly.
The big hand seemed to be conscious and shrank all of a sudden before the long sword fell on it.
It disappeared.
Mo Junhao stabbed the door case heavily with the sword and didn’t hit the target, but he seemed to have exhausted all his strength.
He kept the posture of waving the sword and gasped. His eyes were frenzied and flurried. Obviously, he hadn’t come back to earth from the accident.
After all, he was scared.
Mo Junyang watched everything and finally showed a faint smile. “Your Highness, why are you so afraid? Do you feel guilty?”
Mo Junhao breathed several times and got his breath back gradually.
Looking at Mo Junyang’s calm expression, he knew that Mo Junyang played a trick behind the scenes.
When Mo Junhao was about to lose temper, he heard Mo Junyang say unhurriedly, “Your Highness, don’t be mad. I just want to see if somebody has a guilty conscience.
“On the other hand, I want to prove one thing.”
Mo Junhao could certainly understand that Mo Junyang secretly satirized him for forgetting himself, yet he couldn’t retort. Once he retorted, he would confirm that he had a guilty conscience as Mo Junyang said.
So he had to grit his teeth and ask, “Prove what?”
“Prove that the crown prince is not the only one who had the chance to kill His Majesty.”
Mo Junyang said fluently and explained unhurriedly, “Quan didn’t see His Majesty, which means that anybody might have hidden in the bed to pass himself off as His Majesty and tell Quan to summon the crown prince.”
“It’s ridiculous. If the murderer didn’t leave after killing somebody but stayed in the bedroom to put on a show as you said, wouldn’t he be afraid that somebody could find it? How would there be such a stupid murderer in the world?”
Mo Junhao retorted Mo Junyang with justice. “Your Excellency, I know that you want to prove the crown prince’s innocence, yet do you take all of us as idiots after you call black white and put the blame on an inexistent murderer?”

Mo Junhao thought that it was bad news for him, so he interrupted, “He just has a pair of eyes, and it’s normal that he didn’t pay attention to me when I left. What can it prove?”“It can prove that there is no evidence that you were not at the scene of the crime, Your Highness.” Mo Junyang answered Mo Junhao’s question directly.
