Chapter 373: A Conspiratorial Trip to Jiangzhou

Xi was appointed to serve the emperor after Mo Junyu took the throne, and his job was mainly to send messages.

The other eunuchs admired Xi as he got such a good job, but only he knew the sorrow.

He was so scared that he almost wet himself.

At the same time, he was frightened and didn’t dare to stutter.

He answered fluently, “Your Majesty, Lady Qingxue asked to see you.”

Speak of the devil.

Mo Junyu glanced at Mo Junyang meaningfully, in a better mood. “Let her in.”

Shi Qingxue walked in with Xi. There was surprise flashing in her eyes obviously when she saw Mo Junyang, but soon she restrained it.

She walked forward and greeted Mo Junyu with a bow, “Your Majesty, I am honored to see you.”

“Qingxue, don’t stand on ceremony.” Mo Junyu gently told her to get up.

His smile was so bright that it made Shi Qingxue have a chill on her spine. She looked at Mo Junyang subconsciously, with doubt in her eyes.

Mo Junyang just gently shook his head at her and didn’t speak.

However, at the moment, Shi Qingxue didn’t have the ability to think alike.

Shi Qingxue stared at Mo Junyang blankly and didn’t know what to do.

Mo Junyu seemed not to see their eye contact, asking in a kind tone, “Qingxue, why did you come to see me today?”

Being asked, Shi Qingxue had to conceal her emotions and answer frankly, “Your Majesty, you must have heard that my sister is pregnant.”

“Yes, I have. Qingxue, did you enter the palace to send for an imperial doctor for Infanta Baoning?”

Mo Junyu expressed generously that as long as Shi Baoning needed, she could send for any imperial doctor in the palace if she wanted.

Shi Qingxue shook her head. “Your Majesty, thanks for your concern, but Doctor Shen takes care of my sister, so we don’t need to trouble the imperial doctors for now.”

“Oh? What else does Infanta Baoning want?” Mo Junyu asked.

Shi Qingxue answered, “My brother-in-law Wenren Chi is favored by you and works in the City Guardian Army. Logically, he should work dutifully without resting every day, yet he is worried about my sister, so he told me to enter the imperial palace and ask for leave. Please permit him, Your Majesty.”

Although Wenren Chi was allowed to take a leave by his superior, something like this should be reported to the emperor.

It happened that Shi Baoning had a cold this morning and was spiritless. She looked sick and feeble, so Wenren Chi was worried.

Therefore, Shi Qingxue volunteered to enter the imperial palace.

She thought that it was normal that an official asked for leave, and they just needed to say something, so she didn’t take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Mo Junyu looked surprised and hesitant, saying, “It’s troublesome.”

Shi Qingxue was confused and looked up at Mo Junyu, as she didn’t know why it was troublesome.

Mo Junyu stated gently, “I have drafted an imperial edict and wanted General Wenren to go to Jiangzhou as an imperial envoy. There is an epidemic spreading there and many common people are sick or dead. The imperial court must send somebody at once to calm down the public.”

After Qingxue heard Mo Junyu’s words, the corners of her mouth twitched.

The epidemic was more horrible than a war and could cause many people’s death.

Now Mo Junyu said that the epidemic spread in Jiangzhou but soon planned to send Wenren Chi there.

Did he want to scare people to death or what?

What the hell was it?

If Shi Qingxue had to make a choice between the two, she would rather go to the battlefield than be infected with the epidemic by accident and die with a grievance.

Shi Qingxue certainly couldn’t take the hard job on behalf of Weiren Chi, so she refused in a hurry.

Mo Junyu looked hesitant and sighed. “What should I do? The trip to Jiangzhou is imperative, and I have selected a person. If nobody can replace General Wenren, I can’t select anybody else.”

Although he said that, he kept looking at Shi Qingxue.

At the moment, Shi Qingxue could certainly understand Mo Junyu’s purpose.

Logically, if she didn’t see Mo Junyang here, she might agree to replace Wenren Chi and go to Jiangzhou as she was forced by the situation.

However, Mo Junyang shook his head at her just now, and he must tell her not to agree with Mo Junyu.

It made Shi Qingxue at a loss.

On the one hand, she couldn’t stand by and watch Wenren Chi being sent to Jiangzhou now. On the other hand, it was a trap in front of her obviously. If she jumped into it regardless of anything, she would be too stupid.

When Shi Qingxue was indecisive, Mo Junyang who pretended to be a wall flower all the time expressed, “Your Majesty, don’t worry about it. I am willing to go to Jiangzhou.”

Mo Junyu finally showed a sincere smile.

He thought, “Mo Junyang, you finally admit defeat. It’s so great.”

“Junyang, you care about the common people in the infected area and volunteer to take the job, which makes me relieved.” Mo Junyu said a lot of nice words in a bureaucratic tone.

In the end, Mo Junyang just lowered his head and brows, as if saying, “Just say it. I will listen and won’t speak”, which made Mo Junyu stop talking.

Mo Junyu pouted and thought, “This man is really difficult to get along with. I finally saw him show the white feather, but in only a short while, he shows his true color.”

Mo Junyu sighed helplessly and didn’t ask for so much.

He wasn’t in the mood to chat anymore. Then he turned to Shi Qingxue. “I want to send somebody else to assist Junyang and the two will go to Jiangzhou together. Qingxue, are you willing to take this important job?”

Hearing Mo Junyang offer to go to Jiangzhou, Shi Qingxue furrowed her arch eyebrows.

Of course, she knew that the man helped her out of a predicament, while she was more restless.

Now since Mo Junyu asked, she nodded in agreement before she had time to think. “Yes, I am willing to.”

“Okay. It’s decided.” Mo Junyu gave the final word.

Afterward, he told the two to leave and didn’t give Mo Junyang a chance to say more from beginning to end.

Mo Junyang walked out of the study and pulled Shi Qingxue to stand under a tree, asking with a frown, “Didn’t I tell you not to agree? Why did you agree with him?”

Shi Qingxue also looked unhappy. “Under the situation, can I disagree?”

She pondered for a moment and suddenly realized. Then she looked at Mo Junyang worriedly. “His Majesty acted like that because he wanted to trap you?”

Mo Junyang nodded and hesitated for a while. Then he answered, “Right. So even if you don’t agree, he won’t ask you to as he has achieved the goal.”

He was right, but Shi Qingxue thought that since she had agreed, she could go to Jiangzhou.

Hearing Shi Qingxue’s indifferent words, Mo Junyang showed complicated emotions on his cold face.

After a long time, he stated gently, “I thought that you wanted to go to the northern border in person.”

Both of them knew what she would do there, so they didn’t need to speak it out intentionally.

Shi Qingxue was seen through and showed a shy smile. She lowered her head bashfully and stared at the ground, with her toe tip making circles on the ground gently.

She asked in a low voice, “You have guessed it?”

Mo Junyang nodded. “Hmm. And as long as Mo Junhao isn’t captured, this matter is not over, so I can’t relax.”

Shi Qingxue raised her head and glanced at Mo Junyang, asking in reply softly, “Do you think that I will be relieved if you go to Jiangzhou alone?”

Mo Junyang paused. He looked at Shi Qingxue, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he didn’t have an expression on his face, the heat in his eyes seemed to burn Shi Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue coughed in embarrassment and looked away. Then she asked, “By the way, what are you worried about?”

Mo Junyang’s eyes were horribly bright, and gentleness almost overflowed from them uncontrollably.

He stared at Shi Qingxue for quite a while and then answered, “Mo Junhao has colluded with Liang Country earlier. Last time, prince Yelü Anchen caused much trouble, and it must have something to do with him. He has been accused of killing the late emperor, so he is doomed in the capital city.

“His only chance is to cooperate with Liang Country and come to the south with the army, using military force to gain imperial power. His soldiers may be easy to defeat, but the soldiers from Liang Country are difficult to cope with. We don’t know how much Liang Country will help him, and everything is uncertain.”

Mo Junyang’s voice was unhurried and he exposed the secret that Mo Junhao always tried to conceal and thought to be the cards in his hand. He didn’t hide anything from Shi Qingxue.

Shi Qingxue frowned after hearing that.

She was certainly unwilling to see Mo Junhao turn the tables, but it was not the time to think about this. She had to say, “Although Mo Junhao has colluded with Liang Country, the people from that country are not stupid. If they can’t gain profit, they won’t risk their lives for Mo Junhao’s dream about being the emperor.

“My father has experience in battling with Liang Country, and the soldiers of that country have been defeated by the Shi Army repeatedly. His Majesty sent my father there, and the momentum can depress them, so I think that this battle won’t be too difficult.”

Mo Junyang nodded.

If nothing else, it would happen as Shi Qingxue said.

“Let’s wait and see.”

Since Shi Qingxue wasn’t persistent in going to the northern border, Mo Junyang wouldn’t insist.

He didn’t agree earlier because he was worried that Shi Qingxue would go to the northern border sneakily, while he would be in somewhere else far away. He couldn’t bear with it if Shi Qingxue was not protected by him but might even be harmed.

Shi Qingxue pondered for a moment and then asked, “His Majesty insisted on telling you to go to Jiangzhou. Is there anything wrong?”

She didn’t believe that only the epidemic deserved Mo Junyu’s sending Mo Junyang so anxiously.

“I don’t know now, but this epidemic may be strange,” Mo Junyang answered cautiously.

It was another reason that he didn’t want to get involved easily.

In the study, Mo Junyu obviously didn’t finish his words, nor did he want to tell them.

If they went to Jiangzhou when they knew nothing, wouldn’t they fall into a trap?

Shi Qingxue also thought of this problem and smiled bitterly. “What should we do now?”

“We don’t need to set out in a hurry. When the news comes from the south, we will check if we can go,” Mo Junyang said unhurriedly.

This man kept calm and confident most of the time.

Shi Qingxue was affected by the man’s confidence to map out a strategy. She nodded with a smile. “Okay. I will listen to you.”
