Mo Junyang pondered for a while and believed Qu Yuebai had offered a practical suggestion.

Earlier he had thought in a wrong way that the injured and weak Shi Qingxue should be under his protection and he should look after her, forbidding anybody to covet or hurt her.

But Shi Qingxue was so intimate to him and unwilling to part with him. How could he give up such a perfect chance to declare his ownership?

“Go to prepare the carriage. We will enter the palace.” Mo Junyang decisively carried Shi Qingxue and walked out.

Qu Yuebai was depressed.

He didn’t want to ask who “we” were as Mo Junyang mentioned.

The three sat in the carriage heading to the imperial palace. Qu Yuebai looked at the two hugging each other and thought he was a pest. He had to bring up the same question. “Junyang, I think you’d better figure out if you will take her into the palace.

She is as pure as a child and has no ability to protect herself. Now you expose her outside. Are you sure you can keep her safe?”

Everybody had known that Lady Qingxue was the weakness of King Rui’s heir.

Mo Junyang snorted and held his jaw high, looking arrogant. His confidence deep in the bone was shown. “Huh! My Qingxue is so excellent and dazzling. Why would she hide to avoid seeing anybody because others covet her? And I want to see who dares to harm her after the Zhao Family and the Qin Family’s tragedy.”

The Zhao Family was destroyed partly because of some political interests, but the Qin Family was extinct just because they had to pay the price for hurting Shi Qingxue.

Even though Shi Qingxue had woken up later, Mo Junyang still left all the members of the Qin Family to Qu Yuexuan.

There was no need to mention the bloody process, but Qin Yanyan, the chief criminal of everything, was the last one to die.

She had witnessed her family being tortured to death in front of her. After she was scared to fall into a coma, she would be awakened. When she was going crazy, she would be cured…

The butcher Qu Yuexuan expressed that he felt happy.

All people who had connections with Mo Junyang thought quietly if they had offended him and then had the same conclusion, “His Excellency is moderate to political opponents, but as long as you hurt Shi Qingxue, he would make you live a life that is worse than being dead.”

Under the precondition, even if somebody wanted to use Shi Qingxue to cope with Mo Junyang, they had to consider carefully. Unless they could kill Mo Junyang at one blow, nobody was willing to have a try and see the result after this devil went mad.

Qu Yuebai thought for a while and silently accepted Mo Junyang’s arrogance.

Then he looked at Mo Junyang’s gentle and handsome face when he comforted Shi Qingxue patiently, complaining in his heart, “Ha, why do I feel that everything is what you want?”

Shi Qingxue “had never been to” the imperial palace. After getting out of the carriage, she followed Mo Junyang like a little woman and occasionally popped out her head from his waist to look around. She shrank back soon after she met the strangers’ eyes and called in low spirits, “Junyang.”

Mo Junyang felt contented as he was the only one that Shi Qingxue could call his name correctly. He didn’t care that his warm smile would scare the eunuch who led the way and pulled her hand, comforting gently. “Don’t be afraid. I am with you. Tell me if somebody bullies you. I will help you deal with them, okay?”

Qu Yuebai who was always bullied was speechless.

All servants who could do nothing but serve people were silent.

“Your Excellency, I know you choose to be blind sometimes, but you need to be reasonable. When did I bully Lady Qingxue?” They thought.

In an instant, Shi Qingxue seemed to find her backup and held her head high, as proud as a peacock, walking forward briskly.

Mo Junyang didn’t stop her and just stretched out his hand in time to pull her when his peacock went in a wrong direction.

So when Mo Junyu sat in a pavilion of the East Palace and prepared some tea and snack, waiting for Mo Junyang to discuss business, he saw the scene.

King Rui’s heir held Lady Qingxue’s hand and walked into the East Palace leisurely, with love and concern on his face, as if he held a priceless porcelain doll and walked outside cautiously, afraid that he would damage it.

The crown prince was depressed for no reason.

“Mo Junyang, what are you doing?” Mo Junyu stared at their hands together and asked with his teeth gritted.

Mo Junyang looked as usual and seemed not to understand the crown prince’s question but asked, “Your Highness, didn’t you want to see me?”

Mo Junyu forced a smile. “Can I ask why you brought Shi Qingxue here?”

“She can’t leave me.”

“She…” Mo Junyu planned to mock at him but soon thought of something. He fixed his eyes on Shi Qingxue who leaned against Mo Junyang obediently and looked around without giving him a glance. He was surprised. “She…she…”

The crown prince was so shocked that he stuttered.

Mo Junyang nodded and was about to explain when he heard Mo Junyu scream in horror, “Mo Junyang, you made her lose her memory?”

Mo Junyang’s face darkened. “What nonsense are you talking about?” Though in a sense, Mo Junyu told the truth.

Mo Junyu stared at Mo Junyang in disbelief. “If it weren’t for you, why would she become like this?”

The crown prince tentatively called Shi Qingxue twice, but she looked at him indifferently with an expressionless face.

It was not what the normal Shi Qingxue would do.

“It’s not me!” Mo Junyang simply told him that Shi Qingxue had been poisoned and there was something wrong with Shen Luo’s antidote.

Although they had different opinions, Mo Junyang wouldn’t lie to Mo Junyu but would tell him what he wanted to know.

Mo Junyu was astonished and relieved to hear that. He was astonished at Shi Qingxue’s great change and was relieved because Mo Junyang told him frankly. The crown prince thought he trusted King Rui’s heir and should be trusted by him as well.

After a while, he asked seriously, “What do you plan to do?”

While asking, he looked at Shi Qingxue.

Mo Junyang shrugged and declared his ownership once more. “She is mine. I would never give her back to the Shi Family.”

Mo Junyu looked as if he understood and just asked the key question. “The Shi Family wouldn’t give up. These days, Duke Shi came into the imperial palace and asked to see my father almost every day. You know why. I promised to my father that you will cure Lady Qingxue, but now…”

He looked at Mo Junyang disapprovingly. “You shouldn’t have taken her out.”

If Shi Qingxue was “still in a coma”, the Shi Family didn’t have reason to ask for her. If she recovered, she could “choose” where she would go.

But Shi Qingxue became like this. If somebody with evil intentions spread the rumor, the Shi Family could accuse Mo Junyang of making her stupid instead of having her cured. Wouldn’t he give the Shi Family a chance to sue him?

“You should!” Before Mo Junyang spoke, Shi Qingxue cut in all of a sudden.

She looked serious and wasn’t as naïve and stupid as before.

Mo Junyu almost thought Shi Qingxue had recovered.

Mo Junyang’s eyes lit up and he asked softly, “What did you say?”

Shi Qingxue straightened her back and answered solemnly, “You should take me out.”

“Is… Is she normal now?” Mo Junyu asked in surprise.

Shi Qingxue ignored Mo Junyu but smiled at Mo Junyang, reaching out her hands again. She played the woman in a sweet voice. “Give me a hug.”

Mo Junyang’s heart almost melted and he was anxious to pull her into his arms and do everything, but…

He glanced at the petrified Mo Junyu and was unwilling to let him see his baby looking so lovely.

He restrained his impulsion and grabbed Shi Qingxue’s hands to put them on his knee, saying seriously, “I will hug you after going back home. Now sit well.”

Shi Qingxue pouted with displeasure, but Mo Junyang’s tone was serious, so she didn’t mess around. She just lowered her head and rubbed his palm with her finger in his grip.

He had no reaction, so she gently rubbed him again.

Mo Junyu’s eyes fell on the joined hands of the two. Mo Junyang just pointed his index finger at the back of Shi Qingxue’s hand to warn her.

Then he asked earnestly, “Well, let’s talk business. Why did you ask me to come?”

“Do you know that the other countries will come to visit our country?”

Mo Junyang shook his head. “What’s wrong?”

Mo Junyu had guessed that. Mo Junyang seldom went out these days. If Mo Junyu didn’t insist on ordering him to come today, he might not know even if Mo Junjiu or Mo Junhao rebelled someday.

Mo Junyu said helplessly after a sigh, “It might not be that simple.”

“The three countries will come to visit at the same time and revealed the news before they come, as if to compete. Why?” Mo Junyang asked casually.

When Qu Yuebai told him this matter, he had guessed that the purpose of their visit wouldn’t be simple.

Mo Junyu admitted soon, “Of course they can get profits.”

“What?”

Mo Junyu thought for a while and decided to tell this story from the beginning. “You must have heard the story that the colorful phenix stayed on the eave.”

A thousand years ago, when the first Holy Monarch Zhou Youqiong was young, a colorful phenix stayed on the eave of his house for several days, and it was an omen of fortune.

Later, a huge disaster fell on the Qin Continent, and Zhou Youqiong led his troop to deal with the critical situation and saved the whole continent, so he was elected by all countries as the ruler of the continent, the Holy Monarch. The emperors of the countries worshiped him and followed his orders.

The colorful phenix became the most honored totem and mascot of the Qin Continent.

The Holy Monarch held the highest position in the Qin Continent all the time and ruled the whole continent. In the beginning, even the emperor of each country needed the Holy Monarch’s permission to take the throne and register. The emperors would go to or send somebody to the Holy Palace to visit the Holy Monarch at intervals and show their respect and loyalty.

It was recorded in the history book of every country. Mo Junyang knew that, but he didn’t have an interest in it.

Theoretically, in fifty years, the situation that the Holy Monarch was respected and the four countries lived in peace had changed.

Mo Junyang showed a cold smile. “Now the Holy Monarch is a puppet and controlled by the Liang Country. And even the Holy Palace is occupied. Why do you need to talk about it?”

Right. Now, after one thousand years, time brought great changes to the world. The Holy Monarch was not as honorable as before, except that the bloodline was passed down by Zhou Youqiong. The current Holy Monarch was controlled by the King of the Liang Country, Yelü Beichen. If the Holy Monarch didn’t have a good reputation and it were not too difficult to overturn the throne, he had died long ago.

“It was right, but the Holy Monarch has a title after all. Otherwise, Yelü Beichen wouldn’t have threatened the monarch to order the emperors as soon as he ascended the throne.”

Mo Junyang expressed nonchalantly, “It is just a title. Only Yelü Beichen who is short-sighted would use an outdated mascot to show his position and prolong the fight for nothing…

If he is ambitious, he would replace the Holy Monarch. Even if he would cause turbulence in the Qin Continent, it couldn’t be compared with the effect of the fact.”

If the short-sighted Yelü Beichen heard that, he would say, “It’s my fault not to cause turbulence in the world.”
