After seeing Mo Junyang, Shi Junhe didn’t beat around the bush and asked, “What’s the matter with the two imperial edicts? Why did His Majesty agree so soon?”
Mo Junyang told Shi Junhe to sit down and then personally poured him a cup of tea. Then he responded unhurriedly, “Soon? Isn’t it the same as what we expected?
“Lady Baojing and the second prince love each other, and we just told His Majesty about it. Then Qingxue asked the Empress Dowager for mercy, so the marriage was decided. And His Majesty would naturally issue the imperial edict these days.”
“Fine. Even if the marriage of Baojing and His Highness can be decided easily, what about my official position?
“His Majesty suspected me a lot earlier. Can he stop suspecting just because of the marriage? And he even gave me the title of General of the State. Doesn’t he fear that I will threaten the throne this time?” Nobody knew if it was because he spoke to Mo Junyang, and Shi Junhe said frankly and almost without scruple.
Moreover, Shi Junhe didn’t talk freely because he was brainless in anxiety. He wanted to say that since long ago, but he never spoke it out.
He had worked for Mo Xiangbin for so many years and knew well about the emperor.
The emperors were suspicious and sensitive. They liked to make blind and disorderly conjectures and beat around the bush, and they were a little weak. They would change their minds easily and ponder over repeatedly when they dealt with affairs, so they would make a decision with difficulty after a long hesitation.
Mo Xiangbin had all the common weaknesses of an emperor, and he was much worse.
If Mo Xiangbin really suspected Shi Junhe, he wouldn’t stop suspecting in just a few days and even put him in an important position again.
Did…
Shi Junhe suddenly thought of a possibility, and his expression changed greatly.
“It’s not like what you guessed. The imperial edicts are not fabricated, and His Majesty did approve.” Mo Junyang told the truth in time and stopped Shi Junhe from conjecturing.
Shi Junhe sighed with relief and sensitively found something wrong in Mo Junyang’s words. “Approve?”
This word was meaningful.
Mo Junyang didn’t deny it but nodded. “Right. The imperial edicts were drafted by a member of the Imperial Academy, and the crown prince decided at last. His Majesty just permitted the Imperial Academy to draft the imperial edicts in the beginning, and then he didn’t ask about them anymore.”
Shi Junhe was so surprised that he could hardly speak. After a long while, he murmured, “How is it possible? The crown prince was chosen as the heir to the throne for so many years, but His Majesty never delegated powers to him. Only a few days passed, and why did he…”
The emperor delegated powers so soon, which almost made Shi Junhe think that Mo Junyu would force his father to retire.
Mo Junyang stated slowly, “There was foregleam long ago. His Majesty had a stroke last time. Although he was saved, he hasn’t fully recovered. And the doctors from the Imperial Academy of Medicine said that His Majesty is in poorer health recently and it seems that it doesn’t work no matter how he is treated.
“His Majesty is unable to deal with the state affairs as well as he would wish, so he has to leave some jobs to the princes.”
The shock on Shi Junhe’s face still hadn’t faded, and he asked after quite a while, “Then…what did Doctor Shen say? Can he do nothing?”
“His Majesty refused to see Shen Luo recently.” Mo Junyang spoke impassively and revealed a piece of shocking news.
“Why?” Shi Junhe didn’t understand. Even he, an outsider knew Shen Luo’s ability. Was Mo Xiangbin brainless because he was too old? He was even unwilling to let Shen Luo treat him?
Mo Junyang still shook his head. After pondering for a while, he explained in another way, “It’s not that His Majesty is unwilling to see Shen Luo alone, but he refuses to take the medicine that the doctors from the Imperial Academy of Medicine gave him because…he received a great master from the west lately.”
“A great master?” Shi Junhe’s face stiffened, and he suddenly guessed something bad, so he asked in a hurry, “A great master in which field?”
Mo Junyang showed a faint smile and replied slowly, “This man is proficient in refining elixir and cultivating.”
“What? It’s absurd!” Shi Junhe pounded the table and stood up, with shock and anger which could hardly be concealed on his dignified face.
He rebuked emotionally, “His Majesty is brainless. Just a few years passed, but did he forget why the former dynasty was ruined?”
It was the Qi Dynasty before the Mo Dynasty.
The last emperor of the Qi Dynasty didn’t deal with the state affairs because he was absorbed in refining elixir. Then he left all the affairs to the officials who flattered him, which made the country in a mess, and he was in bad condition because of the elixir.
Soon after the late emperor of the Mo Dynasty rebelled, the last emperor of the Qi Dynasty died because he took too much elixir, and he didn’t even see his country being destroyed.
“No. Absolutely no!” While thinking, Shi Junhe believed that there was something wrong, and he couldn’t stand by and watch while Mo Xiangbin indulged in refining elixir and ignored the state affairs. “I need to enter the imperial palace to see His Majesty.”
But as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Mo Junyang.
“General Shi, relax.”
“Why are you stopping me? Don’t you know why the former dynasty was ruined? Now His Majesty is about to commit the same error. We are officials. Shouldn’t we advise him directly to wake up, not to be fooled by evil people?”
While speaking, Shi Junhe got more emotional and wanted to have wings and fly into the imperial palace.
Mo Junyang was still unmoved. When Shi Junhe almost couldn’t stand it, Mo Junyang asked in reply unhurriedly, “Is it useful?”
Shi Junhe had a breath stuck in his chest and was almost suffocated to death.
“You…” He pointed at Mo Junyang and couldn’t speak a whole sentence after a long time.
This man would either remain quiet or irritate others to death when he started to speak.
The young man went straight to the heart of the matter, and Shi Junhe didn’t even have a chance to retort.
Shi Junhe was not stubborn. When he knew that it didn’t work, he wouldn’t continue with the slight hope instead of finding a better way.
He sighed deeply and pinned his hopes on Mo Junyang again. “We can’t watch His Majesty indulge in cultivating, right? He would ruin his health sooner or later.
“Then the Mo Dynasty would be in danger!”
But Mo Junyang pointed out calmly, “It won’t be like that. His Majesty left most of the state affairs to the crown prince and the fourth prince. With their reviews at the imperial court and the officials’ assistance, nothing bad would happen for now.”
Shi Junhe kept silent.
He was just anxious and didn’t think more about Mo Xiangbin’s delegating powers.
Now hearing Mo Junyang’s words, he suddenly found that Mo Xiangbin’s best decision must be choosing the right people to take over his jobs.
After all, both the crown prince Mo Junyu and the fourth prince Mo Junhao wouldn’t see that what “belonged to” them was in a mess as long as they wanted to take the throne, so they would definitely deal with it wholeheartedly.
As Mo Junyang said, they didn’t need to worry that something bad would happen to the Mo Country for now.
But…
“Shall we stand by and watch when His Majesty does something wrong?”
Shi Junhe still couldn’t accept Mo Junyang’s indifference, and he thought, “Even though Mo Xiangbin is not your father, he is your uncle, your father’s brother. How can you not care about him?”
However, if Shi Junhe knew Mo Junyang’s big secret, he might be more astonished.
“General Shi, you like to learn from the history and must have read many books about history. After reviewing the history of one thousand years in the Qin Continent, please tell me which emperor could be persuaded to come back when he was absorbed in refining elixir. Huh?” Mo Junyang asked calmly.
Shi Junhe was rendered speechless again by Mo Junyang’s question.
Correct! In the history, after an emperor was absorbed in refining elixir, even if he was once a wise emperor, he would become fatuous in the end.
“…We really have no way?” Shi Junhe asked with difficulty and still didn’t give up.
He couldn’t watch Mo Xiangbin become degenerate.
Mo Junyang shrugged, with helplessness shown on his face rarely. “We are not sure. Just wait.”
Even Mo Junyang said that. No matter how worried Shi Junhe was, he could do nothing.
At last, he sighed helplessly.
Mo Shujun came back to the Shou’an Hall in a rage and then waved her sleeves to wipe the tea pot, teacups and incense as well as plates on the table to the floor.
The sounds of smashing scared the servants to kneel all over the floor, and all of them cried for mercy.
“Why are you crying? I am still alive. Do I need you to cry for my death?” Mo Shujun was more annoyed by the sobs and cries, so she couldn’t control herself and roared at them.
All people were frightened like quails and curled up, falling into silence at once.
But Mo Shujun was still dissatisfied and cursed the servants again who were kneeling, “Fine, all of you are useless. Get out of here!”
All people hurriedly went away while trembling.
Only Leng Yan seemed not to be afraid of Mo Shujun’s anger and still followed her quietly.
Mo Shujun didn’t kick her out. After she calmed down, she asked slowly, “Yan, what do you think is on Junhe’s mind?”
Leng Yan commented directly, “He is probably mad at you, so he didn’t tell you about something so important in advance.”
“Humph! I have guessed! I haven’t seen him for only a few days, but he became much more capable!” Mo Shujun couldn’t help but snort.
Seeing that the princess royal was about to lose temper again, Leng Yan changed the subject in a hurry. “But as I observed just now, Duke Shi also looked shocked when the two imperial edicts arrived today, so I guess that he was probably not sure about what happened this morning, so he didn’t tell you the truth.”
“Why didn’t he know? It was his plan!” Mo Shujun shouted emotionally and retorted Leng Yan.
Leng Yan feared that she would irritate Mo Shujun again, so she lowered her head at once and didn’t speak.
After a while, Mo Shujun calmed down and then asked, “Are you sure that Junhe didn’t know that he could regain his official position?”
“Er…” Leng Yan didn’t dare to say that she was sure. If she said something wrong, Mo Shujun might kill her.
But she couldn’t refuse to answer Mo Shujun’s question, so she had to say vaguely, “I just saw that shock seemed to flash in his eyes when he heard Lord Quan read the first imperial edict in the main hall, but I don’t know what on earth he was thinking about. I am afraid that you know him better than I do, Princess Royal.”
At last, she flattered Mo Shujun with no trace.
As expected, Mo Shujun’s cold face softened and she even nodded at Leng Yan. “You must not misjudge. When I left, I also saw that he looked serious and didn’t relax as he regained the official position. Perhaps there is something wrong?”
At this thought, the princess royal was relieved a lot.
“But after they did that, the marriage of Baoyou and Junhao probably wouldn’t be granted.” Mo Shujun couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
She had hoped that Mo Junhao could promote Shi Juncai, but now they couldn’t get married, so perhaps Mo Junhao wouldn’t fulfill what he had promised earlier.
“It’s uncertain.” Leng Yan cut in abruptly, which made Mo Shujun turn to her.
She excitedly pulled Leng Yan to squat down beside her leg and then asked, “Yan, do you have another good idea?”
Leng Yan replied unhurriedly, “I just think that under the situation, the fourth prince might be more anxious to be related to Duke Shi’s family by marriage.”
“Why did you say that?”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

But as I observed just now, Duke Shi also looked shocked when the two imperial edicts arrived today, so I guess that he was probably not sure about what happened this morning, so he didn't tell you the truth.Why didn't he know? It was his plan! Mo Shujun shouted emotionally and retorted Leng Yan.Leng Yan feared that she would irritate Mo Shujun again, so she lowered her head at once and didn't speak.After a while, Mo Shujun calmed down and then asked, Are you sure that Junhe didn't know that he could regain his official position?Er Leng Yan didn't dare to say that she was sure. If she said something wrong, Mo Shujun might kill her.But she couldn't refuse to answer Mo Shujun's question, so she had to say vaguely, I just saw that shock seemed to flash in his eyes when he heard Lord Quan read the first imperial edict in the main hall, but I don't know what on earth he was thinking about. I am afraid that you know him better than I do, Princess Royal.At last, she flattered Mo Shujun with no trace.As expected, Mo Shujun's cold face softened and she even nodded at Leng Yan. You must not misjudge. When I left, I also saw that he looked serious and didn't relax as he regained the official position. Perhaps there is something wrong?At this thought, the princess royal was relieved a lot.But after they did that, the marriage of Baoyou and Junhao probably wouldn't be granted. Mo Shujun couldn't help but sigh deeply.She had hoped that Mo Junhao could promote Shi Juncai, but now they couldn't get married, so perhaps Mo Junhao wouldn't fulfill what he had promised earlier.It's uncertain. Leng Yan cut in abruptly, which made Mo Shujun turn to her.She excitedly pulled Leng Yan to squat down beside her leg and then asked, Yan, do you have another good idea?Leng Yan replied unhurriedly, I just think that under the situation, the fourth prince might be more anxious to be related to Duke Shi's family by marriage.Why did you say that?
