Chapter 424: To Die or Not, It’s a Question

“Wait a moment!”

In the beginning, Shi Qingxue was stunned by this imperial edict. Seeing that Yan Xu grinned from ear to ear, she finally couldn’t help but put on a dark face and stop it.

She stared at the imperial edict in the eunuch Zhang You’s hand coldly, while the flames of fury in her eyes almost became real and burnt the imperial edict.

All people’s reactions were obvious, and she couldn’t deceive herself to think that she misheard it, yet with the words in the imperial edict, she would rather mishear it.

Otherwise, Yan Xu did something evil that made everybody’s hair stand on end, and it was not too much to sentence him to death for one thousand times. How could he be spared?

“No way. There must be something wrong.”

Shi Qingxue anxiously grabbed the imperial edict from Zhang You and read the words in it one by one for three times. They were the same as what he had read, but she still couldn’t accept it.

Seeing Shi Qingxue’s impoliteness, Zhang You got angry and reproached in a deep voice, “Lady Qingxue, although you are the future wife of King Rui’s heir, I read the imperial edict for His Majesty. How can you disrespect the imperial edict? Are you doubting His Majesty’s edict?”

“Yes. So what?”

The room door was kicked open. Mo Junzhan answered in a rage, and the flames of fury in his eyes were the same as, even more than Shi Qingxue’s.

He strode to Shi Qingxue and grabbed the imperial edict, glancing at it. Then he pointed it at Zhang You, questioning, “This is the imperial edict you mentioned? Let go of an atrocious man?”

Zhang You was scared by Mo Junzhan’s powerful and threatening momentum and moved backward, but soon he steadied himself and kept his chin up, shouting in a sharp voice, “It’s clear in the imperial edict. His Majesty got married so he granted a general amnesty to show his kindness. It’s a rule that exists in our country all the time. How can we break the rules left by the ancestors because of a magistrate in Jiangzhou and put His Majesty in an unkind and unrighteous position?”

Shi Qingxue laughed because she was angry at Zhang You’s long speech.

Why didn’t she know that it was unkind and unrighteous to execute a man with flagrance?

Even though the wedding of the emperor and empress was a universal celebration, if they let go of a sinner, what would they celebrate?

Shi Qingxue knew that she was disrespectful to say something like this, but when she was angry, she didn’t care about so much.

As expected, Zhang You turned pale after hearing that and glared at Shi Qingxue. “Lady Qingxue, how dare you…”

However, before Zhang You finished his words, Mo Junyang narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Shi Qingxue. “What did you say?”

Mo Junyang just said that casually with no emotion, while Zhang You lost his arrogant momentum and cowered like a frog which was noticed by a poisonous snake.

Zhang You bowed slightly and explained like a coward, “Your Excellency, please don’t get angry. I didn’t mean to be impolite to Lady Qingxue, but His Majesty’s edict is there. Please act according to the imperial edict. Don’t make things difficult for me.”

Facing Mo Junyang, Zhang You wasn’t arrogant anymore but was as obedient as a kitten.

He mentioned facts and reasoned things out with a good attitude, yet he didn’t plan to give in.

However, Zhang You was a eunuch but could be so persistent in front of several masters, so an imperial edict alone couldn’t explain it clearly.

All people present were clear about it, while Zhang You played dumb in front of them and just temporized with an imperial edict.

Shi Qingxue was angry at Zhang You’s arrogance and wanted to say more, while Mo Junyang grabbed her hand in advance and shook his head slightly.

Shi Qingxue understood it at once and knew that Mo Junyang had other plans, so she held back her words.

She could endure it, but Mo Junzhan couldn’t.

Mo Junzhan was furious because of Zhang You’s attitude and tore up the imperial edict, throwing it to Zhang You’s face. Then he cursed ferociously, “I will disobey the imperial edict and disrespect it. What can you do to me?”

The roller of the imperial edict scroll hit Zhang You’s canthus, which became red and swollen instantly. He felt the severe pain and grinned, so he lost temper.

“Your Highness, you show disrespect for His Majesty as you tore up the imperial edict. I will surely report it to him… Hey!”

His sharp and affected voice suddenly raised and the tone changed when he saw that Mo Junzhan drew the sword.

“Your Highness, what are you going to do?” Zhang You was terrified and moved a few steps backward.

Mo Junzhan ignored him and strode forward. Before anybody had reactions, he stabbed Yan Xu’s chest and killed him with the sword.

Everything happened in a flash. Yan Xu was tittering in secret and imagining how happy he would be after escaping from the disaster when he felt the pain in the chest.

Yan Xu’s eyes widened all of a sudden, as if they would pop out of their sockets once he put forth more strength. He watched Mo Junzhan pull the sharp sword out of his chest gradually.

Then Yan Xu fell on the ground like a puppet without strings.

He fell silently, and only his eyes widened as he died with everlasting regret.

The others finally came back to earth, but it was too late.

“Your Highness, are you crazy?” Zhang You shouted involuntarily.

He had never expected that Mo Junzhan was so undaunted and reckless. It was fine that he tore up the imperial edict, yet he even dared to kill somebody that the emperor ordered them to release.

Mo Junzhan conveniently threw the sharp sword to the ground and snorted at Zhang You with disdain. “I have killed him. I am going to see what you can do to me.”

Zhang You trembled in anger and raised his hand to point at Mo Junzhan, cursing, “Your Highness, you are rebellious. I will capture you and take you back to the capital…”

He had brought guards to declare the imperial edict. The emperor specially sent helpers for him, and they only followed his orders.

However, as soon as he started, he felt that his right shoulder was numb before he finished his words.

Then he couldn’t say anything or move.

It happened too quickly. Zhang You just noticed that a stone hit the acupoint on his shoulder, which made him unable to move. Then he looked in the direction where the stone was from, to find that the hidden weapon was shot by Mo Junyang.

Zhang You wanted to complain but couldn’t open his mouth. He had to watch Wei Zichao walk to him and pat away his raised arm, with a snort. “Who are you pointing at? The masters are here. Do you qualify to give orders?”

The only parts of Zhang You which could move were eyes. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t speak a word.

Of course, nobody would care about what he wanted to express.

After rebuking Zhang You, Wei Zichao went back to Mo Junyang and asked in a low voice, “Your Excellency, what should we do now?”

He said something freely just now because as a guard, he couldn’t let a servant behave like a tyrant in front of his master, but in fact, he lacked confidence.

Mo Junzhan killed Yan Xu with his sword at one blow. He did it happily, yet it would bring them endless trouble.

After Yan Xu died, Mo Junzhan couldn’t escape from being accused of disobeying the imperial edict openly.

If Zhang You added the trimmings after returning to the capital, who knew what Mo Junyu would do to Mo Junzhan in the end?

Mo Junzhan still looked fearless and held his head high, saying arrogantly, “A man must bear the consequences of his own acts. Yan Xu was killed by me, and I am the one who disobeyed the imperial edict. I will take the responsibility if there is something wrong, and you won’t be implicated.”

“Your Highness!” Shi Qingxue shouted anxiously and interrupted Mo Junzhan.

Mo Junzhan turned away and avoided seeing Shi Qingxue. He still paraded his superiority in words. “Anyway, that’s it. Inform me if there is a result. I am going back to my room.”

He finished his words in a hurry and turned to leave.

Shi Qingxue was angry at Mo Junzhan’s attitude as he abandoned himself. She couldn’t help but call his full name. “Mo Junzhan, stop.”

Her voice effectively stopped Mo Junzhan from going away.

Mo Junzhan looked back at Shi Qingxue and asked unwillingly, “Anything else? I have said that I killed him, and I will be condemned…”

“Shut up!” Shi Qingxue glared at him and got furious.

Even though Mo Junzhan thought that he feared nothing, he was stopped by Shi Qingxue’s howl.

He shut his mouth resentfully and lowered his head, keeping silent.

Shi Qingxue took deep breaths before she finally restrained her anger. Then she turned to Mo Junyang. “What should we do next?”

When she was about to lose temper just now, Mo Junyang stopped her in time, so he must have a solution to deal with Yan Xu, but she didn’t know if it could work now.

Since Zhang You read the imperial edict, Mo Junyang almost didn’t say anything, yet his momentum was evident, and nobody could ignore him.

Especially now, all people were waiting for Mo Junyang to make a decision.

Mo Junyang glanced at Zhang You who glared at them all the time. Then he looked down at Yan Xu on the ground before saying slowly, “What do we need to do? Isn’t he still fine on the ground?”

Shi Qingxue, Mo Junzhan and the others were speechless.

All people goggled at Mo Junyang and wanted to ask what he meant by saying “fine”.

Yan Xu had gone cold.

Could Mo Junyang tell such a lie?

However, Mo Junyang affirmed in a tone to reveal a fact, “Yan Xu is still alive now, but it’s a long journey to go back to the capital, and he has so many enemies. It’s possible that he is kidnapped by accident and put to death by dismembering the body. Who can be to blame?”

All people finally understood what Mo Junyang meant and then kept quiet again.

Perhaps only Mo Junyang could be so bold without guilt when he told a lie.

Mo Junzhan realized that Mo Junyang was helping him, yet he had accepted Mo Junyang’s favor to save his life lately. With this added, he felt that he couldn’t feel at ease and let Mo Junyang help him tell a lie.

He said awkwardly, “It won’t work. This servant will surely say something after going back.”

Mo Junyang raised his eyes and gestured for Wei Zichao to unlock Zhang You’s acupoint. Zhang You instantly shouted at them haughtily, “I won’t help you cheat His Majesty. Don’t try to…”

Mo Junyang didn’t get mad but just continued casually, “Yan Xu’s enemy will use weapons in order to kidnap him. Then some people will be injured or dead inevitably, and it’s not surprising.”
