Mo Junyang had managed his force for many years, and it couldn’t be underestimated.

He didn’t want to fight for the throne. Otherwise, it was uncertain who would rule the country in the end.

If he wanted to investigate what happened in Jiangzhou, which was kept secret by Mo Junyu all the time, it was merely a matter of time.

He got some information after ten days.

It turned out that the epidemic in Jiangzhou was more than the epidemic.

After a storm in the lunar sixth month, there was a flood in Jiangzhou, and almost more than half of the city was drowned, yet the government embezzled all the disaster relief grain sent by the imperial court because the new emperor didn’t have time to consider the remote areas when he took the throne. They didn’t help the sufferers settle down but drove the victims away from their jurisdiction.

Even the messenger who reported it didn’t know where the spreading epidemic started and how it spread. He just said that the environment there was complicated and perhaps even the local people couldn’t explain clearly what had happened.

After hearing that, Shi Qingxue looked serious. “His Majesty sent us to Jiangzhou probably not just to control the epidemic.”

Mo Junyang nodded and didn’t speak. Obviously, they agreed on this point.

They remained silent. The information from Jiangzhou didn’t make them realize anything but confused them more.

The officials in Jiangzhou embezzled the disaster relief materials, so they must have a guilty conscience and wouldn’t have a good opinion of an imperial envoy sent from the central government.

They would comply in appearance yet oppose in heart and be offhand with the imperial envoy at least. Moreover, they would try every means to stop him and might even kill him.

Shi Qingxue almost didn’t dare to think.

Qu Yuebai didn’t look well. He offered, “How about I lead some people to Jiangzhou and check if it is true? You can come after we find the truth, so you won’t be trapped as you know nothing.”

Mo Junyang pondered for a while and then shook his head. “No. I have delayed it for ten days. His Majesty won’t allow us to delay longer.”

No matter how capable Qu Yuebai was, it would take ten days to go to Jiangzhou and come back. After he found the truth, more than half a month would pass.

Qu Yuebai understood this point and satirized in a rage involuntarily, “Gee, His Majesty is really kind. He said that he trusted you, but when he sent you to court death, he didn’t hesitate.”

He just slandered the emperor. If some people with evil intentions heard that, he would be beheaded.

However, Mo Junyang knew that the Love Xue House was like a bastion of iron under his instructions, and he didn’t worry that the secret would be exposed. He just glanced at Qu Yuebai casually and didn’t criticize him.

He stated, “Anyway, you make arrangements. I will set out with Qingxue the day after tomorrow.”

“I will go there, too.” Qu Yuebai couldn’t bear to put Mo Junyang in danger alone, so he insisted on following them.

Mo Junyang refused without thinking. “You stay in the mansion. It’s fine as Zichao and Ziye go with me.”

Seeing that Mo Junyang had made a decision, Qu Yuebai knew that he wouldn’t have a chance to change it, while he was still worried.

He turned to Shi Qingxue and advised in a gentle voice, “My Lady, you have heard about the situation in Jiangzhou now. If you go there, you will fumble like blind people. It’s better to bring us. I am quite capable, and there is strength in numbers…”

His words were like to save the country in an indirect way.

He wanted to borrow Shi Qingxue’s influence on Mo Junyang, and more severely, he would make use of her to threaten Mo Junyang.

It was almost the same as what Mo Junyu did in the imperial study.

Qu Yuebai’s wisdom was only to say that frankly in front of Mo Junyang.

Even if he had a conspiracy, he wouldn’t make Mo Junyang hate him, yet the master would feel his helplessness and loyalty.

However, Shi Qingxue was more helpless than him.

She had a favorable impression of Qu Yuebai. He rarely asked her for help, so she was unwilling to refuse him.

However…

Even though Mo Junyang’s words were not precious words, they carried a lot of weight.

He had just said that he told Qu Yuebai not to go there with them, but as soon as Qingxue begged him, he would change his mind.

He would make frequent changes in policies. How would King Rui’s heir save his face?

Shi Qingxue glanced at Qu Yuebai pitifully and got hard-hearted, refusing his request.

She cared more about Mo Junyang’s dignity than that.

Moreover, the trip to Jiangzhou might be very dangerous, while it was unreasonable if he stopped or was overcautious and indecisive in the face of danger.

Seeing that Qu Yuebai looked unhappy, Shi Qingxue comforted him, “Mr. Qu, don’t you know how capable Junyang is? He is smarter than any of us. He knows that it’s dangerous in Jiangzhou, so he will be more careful. Don’t you trust his abilities?

“Moreover, you are the one that Junyang trusts most. He told you to stay in the capital must because he will give you important jobs, and they can’t be finished without you. Why do you care about where you will fulfill your duties?”

What she said flattered Qu Yuebai.

She explained the fact that Mo Junyang wouldn’t risk his life rashly and the reason why the master made this arrangement.

She expressed with emotion and sufficient reasons.

Even though Qu Yuebai was stubborn, he was convinced.

Moreover, he was reasonable. Just now, he didn’t react in time but just thought that if he followed Mo Junyang, the master wouldn’t be in danger.

However, on second thought, he believed that it was laughable.

Qu Yuebai was a civil official with a ready tongue, yet he didn’t have martial skills. He might be inferior to Mo Junyang in military strategies. If he followed them, would Mo Junyang have to protect him at a critical moment?

He felt guilty and meanwhile couldn’t help but glance at Shi Qingxue several times.

Qu Yuebai was familiar with Shi Qingxue. In the past, when his master wanted to spy on her like addiction, Qu Yuebai chose the people to record her words and actions. Earlier, his impression of Shi Qingxue had changed.

In his opinion, she was a brainless beauty and then a lovely beauty. Later, he thought that she was a beauty who liked to cause trouble yet was lovely. Afterward, in his eyes, she was the only beauty that his master wanted…

The reason for the change was not complicated.

Seeing that his master exhausted all his mental efforts and got himself into trouble because of a girl, Qu Yuebai naturally had a problem with it, but he thought that Mo Junyang was above everything. Even though he wanted to make comments, he could do nothing because Mo Junyang liked her.

In the final analysis, from beginning to end, he just took Shi Qingxue as Mo Junyang’s possession, merely a woman.

It couldn’t be more proper to describe her as a brainless beauty. As for any other word, it was up to Mo Junyang’s attitude.

However, he finally started to take Shi Qingxue seriously now.

This woman was thoughtful and silver-tongued.

She must have noticed his intention to make use of her, while she didn’t get angry but comforted him gently, avoiding the fact that could embarrass him. And she explained the reason, which enlightened him.

Anyway, Qu Yuebai knew that he couldn’t be so capable, not to mention Shi Qingxue’s consideration for them.

While thinking, Qu Yuebai looked at Shi Qingxue with his eyes getting warm.

However, before he spoke, Mo Junyang instantly stood between them and blocked Qu Yuebai’s eyes with his tall and big body.

“You can go now!”

The loyal Qu Yuebai was speechless.

Gee!

He just wanted to express his admiration and didn’t covet Shi Qingxue.

Did Mo Junyang need to be so alert?

If he was really worried, why didn’t he find a cage and put Shi Qingxue in? Then others couldn’t see her.

Qu Yuebai thought resentfully yet didn’t dare to speak it out directly.

He was afraid that if he said that, Mo Junyang who always thought out of the box would want to be in a relationship with a woman in the cage…

Qu Yuebai had goosebumps because of his imagination and didn’t want to talk with Mo Junyang who was so jealous. Then he turned to leave.

Shi Qingxue didn’t notice the two men’s interaction. She thought that Qu Yuebai was irritated by her words and left, so she felt awkward at a loss.

She asked Mo Junyang restlessly, “Did I say anything wrong?”

Mo Junyang looked back, with gentleness in his eyes and brows. “Of course not.”

Shi Qingxue gazed at him in doubt.

“He is smarter than any of us…” Mo Junyang suddenly repeated Shi Qingxue’s words that she said to convince Qu Yuebai, which made her blush with shyness.

Shi Qingxue just wanted to relax Qu Yuebai, so she said that automatically, but hearing Mo Junyang’s words, she realized that what she said…was like to express her love for him.

However, Mo Junyang seemed not to see her shyness and sighed with emotion. “I don’t know that you think so highly of me…”

She lowered her head like an ostrich and expressed haltingly, “You are smarter than any of us indeed.”

She had said that from the bottom of her heart, yet she was ridiculed by the man. If she had known it earlier, she wouldn’t have said that.

Shi Qingxue was resentful and turned around, ignoring Mo Junyang.

However, Mo Junyang was overjoyed after knowing that the woman he loved thought so highly of him. How would he allow her to run away?

He hugged Shi Qingxue from behind without demur. Their breaths were so close that they didn’t say anything.

Mo Junyang tightly held his beloved and stated in a hoarse voice, “Qingxue, Qingxue, I just…feel so happy.”

Shi Qingxue’s face was burning hot, and her ears were red with the heat.

She wanted to rub them, yet she thought that she would expose herself unwittingly while trying to cover up.

She pondered for a while and then thought, “Anyway, our hearts are interlinked. If I try to conceal it, what will it be like?”

So she restrained her shyness and expressed softly, “It’s great that you are happy.”

With that, she felt awkward and retreated from Mo Junyang’s hug shily after a short while.

Qingxue tried to look serious and asked, “We are going to Jiangzhou soon. Let’s discuss this trip. Don’t delay the work.”

Mo Junyang could certainly find that Shi Qingxue wanted to change the subject, yet he always spoilt his fiancee. He didn’t expose her but answered in a natural way, “Okay, let’s discuss the trip. What do you want to do?”

Shi Qingxue’s eyes lit up, like bright stars. She stated in a clear and pleasant voice, “After we go to Jiangzhou, we will either not do it or do a good job.”

Mo Junyang gazed at Shi Qingxue’s expressive face and responded in a good mood, “Okay.”
