After hearing the emperor’s edict, Shi Junhe didn’t even say a word to retort but just knelt down and expressed his thanks to the emperor’s kindness.
Mo Xiangbin didn’t plan to say more seemingly and waved his hand, telling all the officials to leave.
After most of them left, he suddenly said, “Junyang, stay.”
It was not the first time for Mo Xiangbin to tell Mo Junyang to stay and discuss with him alone, and all the officials were not surprised. At most, they just looked at Mo Junyang several times before leaving.
As something so serious had happened, the high officials hurried to return after walking out and wanted to discuss with the ones in the same faction, and even the minor officials planned to make comments. They left in threes and fives and whispered to each other.
“Gee, the Shi family has been powerful in the officialdom for so many years and attracted much attention. Many people must be jealous of them.”
“Right! The Shi Army’s fame and capability are famous in the whole Qin Continent, let alone in our country, and nobody is not convinced. They have such a horrible army. Don’t you think that His Majesty fears them?”
It was horrible that the army had the military capability, and they won the people’s respect. If such an army rebelled, perhaps the common people would clap and praise them.
They looked at one another speechlessly and didn’t dare to say more.
After a while, one of the officials changed the subject and asked in a low voice, “Why do you think His Majesty told His Excellency to stay alone this time?”
“Who knows? They must have something important to discuss. His Excellency is favored by His Majesty recently.”
Another one stated coldly with jealousy, “Right. Even the serious crime of killing a prince can be ignored easily. I don’t know what nice words His Excellency said to His Majesty.”
“I heard that the empress knelt in the Qianqing Palace several times and asked His Majesty to seek justice for the third prince, but His Majesty even refused to see her. He obviously doesn’t plan to punish His Excellency…” Somebody revealed the news in a low voice.
But then a weak voice retorted, “But why did I hear that the third prince died in an accident and it has nothing to do with His Excellency?”
“Gee, who can explain the relationship in the royal family clearly? Anyway it has nothing to do with us. Let’s just watch a play.”
All the gossips ended up with an indifferent tone.
At the same time, the imperial study was silent and depressing, with an atmosphere that was low and made people almost unable to breathe.
Mo Xiangbin wanted to wait for Mo Junyang to ask him, but after a long time, the young man didn’t speak.
He was helpless and had to start a conversation. “Do you know how many people have sent memorials to me to impeach you these days?”
Mo Junyang shook his head and kept silent.
“You! Alas…” Mo Xiangbin could do nothing to Mo Junyang who was quiet. He sighed and stopped keeping Mo Junyang in suspense. “More than ten! They all asked me to punish you as you killed a prince. The empress has pestered me several times recently and declared that she wouldn’t give up easily until she avenges Junjiu.
“I stopped them temporarily. I can stop them for now but can’t stop them forever.
“Junyang, you are in danger this time!”
Mo Xiangbin pointed out this fact sadly, and his dignified square face was full of helplessness.
Mo Junyang raised his head and glanced at Mo Xiangbin. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he thought of something and then lowered his head again in silence.
“Kid!”
Mo Xiangbin strode to Mo Junyang and stared at him. After a long time, he asked seriously, “I want to ask you now and you should answer me honestly. Did Junjiu’s death have anything to do with you?”
Mo Junyang pursed his lips and shook his head slowly after quite a while. “No.”
“No?” Mo Xiangbin repeated it and sighed with relief, murmuring, “Great, great…”
When he calmed down and looked at Mo Junyang again, his square face was not as depressed as before. He just frowned and asked, “But now the gossips against you cause a great clamor and all people think that you are the murderer.
“What do you plan to do?”
Mo Junyang still shook his head and looked indifferent. “Let it be.”
Perhaps only Mo Junyang could keep calm when all people denounced him.
But Mo Xiangbin was anxious.
He couldn’t help but glare at Mo Junyang with warning. Then he sighed helplessly. “You don’t care about this and that. What on earth do you want?”
He said “this” and “that” vaguely, and only Mo Junyang understood what he wanted to express.
Mo Junyang looked at Mo Xiangbin deeply and suddenly stood straight before bowing to the emperor officially. He expressed casually but firmly, “Your Majesty, you have many children and have a successor, so you don’t need to bother about what happened in the past.”
Mo Xiangbin’s face stiffened, and he looked embarrassed as he was seen through.
“Ahem!” He coughed twice and started to temporize. “I merely think that a man should have lofty aims and need to be ambitious. Otherwise, how would you have a foothold in the world?”
“Ambitious? Like the third prince?” Mo Junyang replied with no emotion.
Mo Xiangbin was rendered speechless and cursed in his heart, “Good boy, you look quiet at ordinary times, but when you speak, you are not afraid of making others speechless. Fortunately, I have recovered from Junjiu’s death. Otherwise, I would die because I am too angry.”
All people in the country including the officials and noblemen were obedient to him like quails. Only Mo Junyang was not afraid of him and would say something occasionally to make him furious.
Even so, Mo Xiangbin admired this child who was unhurried while facing anything difficult. Wasn’t Mo Junyang like him when he was young?
The emperor laughed as he felt he was lucky, so he didn’t want to bother about Mo Junyang.
He just looked at Mo Junyang seriously and confirmed again. “Junyang, what the power and glory will bring you is beyond your imagination. But you don’t want it?”
Mo Junyang just stayed silent, but his clear and determined eyes expressed his thoughts.
Mo Xiangbin shook his head and kept quiet for a while. In the end, he still didn’t give up and asked, “You don’t want anything?”
It was impossible.
A person must have desires.
Mo Junyang nodded this time, and before Mo Xiangbin got happy, he heard Mo Junyang’s voice. “Your Majesty, you once agreed to grant the marriage of Qingxue and me after the turbulence is settled down.”
Mo Xiangbin was unable to reply.
Perhaps it was Mo Xiangbin’s first time to see somebody talk about love relationship with such a cold attitude.
The strong feeling of being incongruous overwhelmed. Till now Mo Xiangbin still couldn’t understand Mo Junyang’s persistent love for Shi Qingxue. “Why is it her? The little girl from the Shi family is smart and attractive indeed, but many girls from the noble families are almost at the same level as her and even some of them are better than her. Why do you love her so much, Junyang?”
Mo Xiangbin wondered what Mo Junyang was thinking about, but he was destined to be disappointed.
Mo Junyang never expressed his love for Shi Qingxue to anybody else, not to mention that he would explain why he loved her.
The imperial study fell into silence at once.
After a long time, Mo Xiangbin asked meaningfully all of a sudden, “The Shi family… Junyang, didn’t you see what happened in the imperial study just now?”
“So what?”
Mo Xiangbin’s face fell slowly and looked solemn. He analyzed coldly. “I admit that the Shi family served all our people. The Elder Duke Shi, General Shi and his future son-in-law, Wenren Chi made a great contribution to the country, but I kept them in mind and all people in the country kept their contributions in mind.
Didn’t the people in society say that if the Shi Army wins, the Mo Country would exist, and if the Shi Army is defeated, the Mo County would be destroyed? You still haven’t realized the warning now?”
Mo Junyang smiled faintly and retorted straightforwardly, “You are afraid that General Shi would raise his arm in the future and make himself the emperor and then all the people agree, so the Mo Country would have another ruler, right?”
Even Mo Xiangbin tried to conceal it when he talked about this matter. He didn’t dare to speak out what he guessed as he was afraid that it would come true.
But Mo Junyang feared nothing and exposed him regardless of anything else.
It made Mo Xiangbin feel embarrassed, and he wanted to rebuke the young man, but meeting Mo Junyang’s dark eyes, he wasn’t confident. He stated awkwardly, “You should know that what I fear might happen. Even if Shi Junhe doesn’t have this ambition now, we are not sure that he won’t have it in the future, and we don’t know if he would be incited by his subordinates.”
He guessed more. Anyway, Shi Junhe was a hidden trouble.
Mo Junyang didn’t make comments and shrugged, saying indifferently, “I don’t know what General Shi would think if he hears what you said.”
Perhaps because they had mentioned it directly, Mo Xiangbin removed his mask as a gentle man and revealed his sinister character.
He sneered and asked directly, “I just talk about my worries with you. How would he know?”
Mo Junyang asked in reply, “You told General Shi in public to rest at home today. Don’t you think he understands your scruple about him?”
Shi Junhe probably knew that Mo Xiangbin didn’t trust the Shi family’s loyalty anymore, so he silently accepted the imperial edict under the situation.
Mo Xiangbin argued, “I have said that there is something wrong with the Shi family. Think it over. If Shi Junhe is really innocent, how would he not argue while he is stubborn? So my decision is right.”
“Your Majesty, since you have made a judgment, I have nothing to say.” Mo Junyang didn’t have the plan to change Mo Xiangbin’s mind, so he directly admitted the emperor’s words.
However, Mo Xiangbin didn’t get happy as a result but frowned. “What do you think?”
“Nothing. The Shi family is nothing to me,” Mo Junyang replied honestly. He never took the Shi family seriously.
It was not that he didn’t like them, but he didn’t care about them.
“Even Shi Qingxue is nothing to you?” Mo Xiangbin asked then.
Mo Junyang was rendered speechless by Mo Xiangbin for the first time and went stiff for quite a while.
Afterward, he answered calmly, “It has nothing to do with Qingxue.”
Mo Xiangbin had a bigger smile and asked, “It really has nothing to do with her? The Shi family’s rise and decline are related to her life. What does she have except her identity as the sixth young lady of the Shi family?”
“Me,” Mo Junyang responded firmly, although in a hoarse voice.
“What?” Even Mo Xiangbin didn’t understand this word from nowhere.
Mo Junyang licked his lower lip and explained, stressing each word, “I said she has me besides the Shi family.”
Mo Junyang would never put Shi Qingxue in danger once more.
Mo Xiangbin was stunned and realized Mo Junyang’s determination again, even though his persistence was just for Shi Qingxue. However, with the precondition that Shi Qingxue would never betray the Shi family, Mo Junyang would choose to or be forced to help that family as the girl obviously protected her family.
At the thought of this possibility, the emperor looked unhappy and expressed coldly almost in a threatening tone, “The Shi family contributes a lot and can frighten the throne. I would never allow that family to be powerful alone and threaten the country.
“I would never spare anybody or any force that may threaten my throne.”
In the end, he almost spoke with killing intent.
Unfortunately, the person standing in front of Mo Xiangbin was Mo Junyang who never knew what fear was.
He just pursed his lips and answered unhurriedly, “Then just make the Shi family have no chance to harm the country.”
“You…” Mo Xiangbin never expected that Mo Junyang didn’t even have the plan to resist but sided with him.
Even though Mo Junyang showed a poker face as before, the emperor still felt this kid’s “loyalty” to him.
As expected, even though they have few chances to stay together, the bloodline would never be cut off.
He deserved to be Mo Xiangbin’s…good boy!

Mo Junyang didn't have the plan to change Mo Xiangbin's mind, so he directly admitted the emperor's words.However, Mo Xiangbin didn't get happy as a result but frowned. What do you think?Nothing. The Shi family is nothing to me, Mo Junyang replied honestly. He never took the Shi family seriously.It was not that he didn't like them, but he didn't care about them.Even Shi Qingxue is nothing to you? Mo Xiangbin asked then.Mo Junyang was rendered speechless by Mo Xiangbin for the first time and went stiff for quite a while.Afterward, he answered calmly, It has nothing to do with Qingxue.Mo Xiangbin had a bigger smile and asked, It really has nothing to do with her? The Shi family's rise and decline are related to her life. What does she have except her identity as the sixth young lady of the Shi family?Me, Mo Junyang responded firmly, although in a hoarse voice.What? Even Mo Xiangbin didn't understand this word from nowhere.Mo Junyang licked his lower lip and explained, stressing each word, I said she has me besides the Shi family.Mo Junyang would never put Shi Qingxue in danger once more.Mo Xiangbin was stunned and realized Mo Junyang's determination again, even though his persistence was just for Shi Qingxue. However, with the precondition that Shi Qingxue would never betray the Shi family, Mo Junyang would choose to or be forced to help that family as the girl obviously protected her family.At the thought of this possibility, the emperor looked unhappy and expressed coldly almost in a threatening tone, The Shi family contributes a lot and can frighten the throne. I would never allow that family to be powerful alone and threaten the country.I would never spare anybody or any force that may threaten my throne.In the end, he almost spoke with killing intent.Unfortunately, the person standing in front of Mo Xiangbin was Mo Junyang who never knew what fear was.He just pursed his lips and answered unhurriedly, Then just make the Shi family have no chance to harm the country.You Mo Xiangbin never expected that Mo Junyang didn't even have the plan to resist but sided with him.Even though Mo Junyang showed a poker face as before, the emperor still felt this kid's loyalty to him.As expected, even though they have few chances to stay together, the bloodline would never be cut off.He deserved to be Mo Xiangbin'sgood boy!
