Shi Qingxue was dumbfounded by Mo Junhao and almost worshiped him.

This man could be so shameless at any time, and it was his ability, right?

She sneered and uplifted her brows with a snort. “This path leads to the harem, so how is it improper that I walk past here? But Your Highness, since you want to gossip, you should find a quiet place where there is nobody else.

“Otherwise, if the people that you talk about hear you and meet you by chance, it will be embarrassing. Do you think so?”

Mo Junhao was stunned and soon understood what Shi Qingxue meant.

Feng Mei had cursed Shi Qingxue just now with some dirty words, and even he felt unhappy to hear that. Since the victim heard that, even if Shi Qingxue didn’t care, she was certainly unhappy.

Moreover, judging from Shi Qingxue’s expression, it didn’t look like she didn’t care.

Mo Junhao coaxed her humbly at once like he did to Feng Mei and expressed apologetically, “It’s my fault as I can’t discipline Feng Mei well, so she said something improper. If you are really mad, I will apologize to you, okay?”

He intentionally stressed the word “apologize” with vague meanings.

Perhaps he wished to get close to Shi Qingxue under the cover of apologizing.

However, Shi Qingxue wasn’t Feng Mei. She wouldn’t be bought over by only a few words.

Moreover, the speaker was Mo Junhao, the person that she hated most in the previous life and this life.

Shi Qingxue shook off Mo Junhao’s hands with disgust which shackled her and moved backward. Then she straightened her sleeves and responded indifferently, “No need. I don’t want to talk with you about what happened today. Just think that nothing happened.”

In another word, she didn’t blame Mo Junhao and the others for speaking ill of her, and he couldn’t try to pester her with this matter.

Of course, Shi Qingxue didn’t want to let them go out of kindness. It was not a minor crime to comment on the emperor behind his back, while she was clear that even if she wanted to cut Mo Junhao into slices, it was not the right time yet.

Mo Junhao was furious as Shi Qingxue tried repeatedly to stay away from him.

He didn’t understand why she was still unmoved even though he talked gently and humbly.

She was distant and seemed to drive him away from her world. Mo Junhao couldn’t accept this attitude of her.

He frowned with displeasure and stared at Shi Qingxue. “Qingxue, you were shy, lovely and tender, with affection in the past. Even when you were arrogant and willful earlier, you were frank and obedient. Why are you so distant to me when we are together alone?”

Shi Qingxue was confused for quite a while and then understood what the “past” and “earlier” Mo Junhao mentioned meant.

“In the past”, she was a girl who hadn’t experienced the future. With a young girl’s feelings, she loved the fourth prince. Even though she was arrogant and willful, she subconsciously wanted to show obedience to her beloved man.

As for “earlier”, after she was reborn, in the beginning, she felt guilty to Mo Junyang and tried to avoid seeing him, but she accepted him now. In this process, she was sincere to Mo Junyang and loved him wholeheartedly.

She thought that she was the same as before, yet she changed when she didn’t realize it. At least, in the eyes of others, she had become a pet cat of Mo Junyang.

She concealed her claws obediently and even played the woman in front of her owner, Mo Junyang to please him, letting him caress her hair. She looked beautiful. When her owner was not present, she would be a weak woman with no power to fight and let others bully her.

So these people thought that she could be bullied easily?

Shi Qingxue sneered and wanted to slap Mo Junhao with her tenderness, loveliness, frankness and obedience.

“Your Highness, you think too much. Even if I were really an obedient pet cat, that was because somebody else spoilt me, and it has nothing to do with you,” Shi Qingxue replied with a faint smile and uplifted the corner of her eye.

Both of them knew who “somebody else” was.

Mo Junhao was irritated by Shi Qingxue’s slight at once.

Nobody could accept that the woman he loved threw herself on his enemy obediently with affection but refused to spare a glance for him and even showed her fist to him.

However, what could he do even though he didn’t accept it? Shi Qingxue didn’t want to talk with him.

After leaving the sarcastic words, Shi Qingxue left when Mo Junhao was absent-minded.

People surrounded Mo Xiangbin’s residence outside. All of them talked endlessly, as if they were awesome and should be the doctors treating the emperor inside.

Shi Qingxue walked to her father silently and stood there.

Mo Junyang seemed to have telepathy and turned to her, with his dark eyes. What he meant was obvious. He told her to come to him.

Shi Qingxue was chocked and couldn’t speak a word.

She realized who should be responsible for the good impression she left on others for no reason.

Mo Junyang almost took her as a three-year-old child, right?

He wished to do everything for her and keep her around him with a rope all the time. After she left for a short while, he started to look for her.

Shi Qingxue would fall out with anybody who treated her like a pet, but when the person was Mo Junyang, she could understand his feelings seemingly.

She might be displeased, yet after weighting, she still obediently walked to Mo Junyang and stood next to him.

Shi Qingxue rolled her eyes at Mo Junyang and felt helpless, indicating, “Are you satisfied now?”

Mo Junyang was naturally satisfied, but he was good at assuming a feigned manner. He still looked expressionless and stood in the front coldly, pursing his lips in silence.

In fact, they just stood next to each other for a while and almost nobody paid attention to them.

Then Quan ran out to tell some people to enter the emperor’s bedroom.

Apart from the royal family members, some officials Mo Xiangbin always relied heavily on, including Duke Shi qualified to enter the bedroom.

Logically, Shi Qingxue didn’t have the qualification to enter, but Mo Junyang demanded her to, and she was petite and followed them at the back obediently, so nobody noticed her.

In the bedroom, Mo Xiangbin hadn’t woken up. Ling Ruiyin sat on the bedside and wiped her tears. Shen Luo looked serious and checked the emperor’s pulse. The imperial doctors from the Imperial Academy of Medicine still whispered together and looked anxious.

“You have examined the patient and talked for so long. Do you have a solution to cure His Majesty?” Ling Ruiyin coldly asked the doctors from the Imperial Academy of Medicine. Obviously, she was dissatisfied as these people were dilatory and talking endlessly without doing anything.

The doctors from the Imperial Academy of Medicine fell into silence at once. They looked at one another but nobody stood out to explain the diagnostic result. All of them turned to Shen Luo for help.

Shen Luo was confused when they looked at him, yet seeing that Mo Junyang also looked at him, he explained considerately, “His Majesty has been poisoned probably.”

Ling Ruiyin was shocked and asked, “What happened? His Majesty’s food and clothes have been served by specially-assigned people and tested for many times. Why was he poisoned?”

“If they are tested according to the usual procedures and sent to His Majesty after prelibation, there will be nothing wrong, yet I don’t know what was eaten by His Majesty without being tested.” Shen Luo didn’t mention something exactly but beat around the bush.

However, it was enough to make Ling Ruiyin know what Shen Luo wanted to say.

It was said that the emperor indulged in refining elixir recently, and an elixir-refiner from society Han Ling who was recommended by the sixth prince Mo Junjing was highly regarded.

Hearing that, Ling Ruiyin was shocked and angry. She instantly told somebody to bring the elixir-refiner Han Ling.

She worriedly stared at Mo Xiangbin who looked ghastly pale with his eyes closed, asking Shen Luo, “Doctor Shen, His Majesty has been in a coma for so long. Why hasn’t he woken up? You said that he was poisoned. Do you have a solution to cure him?”

At the moment, even Shen Luo looked baffled and hesitated for a long time. Then he sighed helplessly. “His Majesty’s health has worsened a lot since he had a stroke last time. He should recuperate quietly, but he is poisoned now. I can’t confirm what poison is in his body yet, so I can’t give you a positive answer for now. I can only give him some medicine to relieve uneasiness of mind and replenish energy. When I find out what he ate, I will prescribe a medicine special for the disease.”

“Is it so serious?” The shock on Ling Ruiyin’s face was more obvious.

It was not that she didn’t believe Shen Luo’s words, but in the past few days, Mo Xiangbin looked energetic and it was said that his health was improved after he ate the elixir, which was more effective than the prescriptions of the Imperial Academy of Medicine and Shen Luo.

Therefore, Mo Xiangbin stopped using the prescriptions and concentrated on eating elixir.

In the beginning, Ling Ruiyin doubted it, yet seeing that he was more energetic after eating elixir, she had no objection, while she had never expected that the elixir was really harmful.

Shen Luo sneered in secret and lowered his head in silence.

Since ancient times, many people in power wished to live forever, as long as heaven and earth, so they refined elixir and tried to become immortals, while all of them failed in the end, and a lot of them died at an early age because of the elixir.

Logically, at the mention of refining elixir, all clear-headed people knew that it was a lie.

However, it was too alluring to live forever and build a strong body. Although Mo Xiangbin was a wise emperor, he was fooled.

Ling Ruiyin’s face was stiff, and she remained quiet, so others didn’t dare to say anything. It was deadly silent in the bedroom.

Mo Junyang pushed Mo Junyu from behind, so the latter came to his senses all of a sudden and stated at once, “Grandma, I think that as Father is poisoned, it is not as simple as it appears. I am afraid that somebody played tricks in secret and wanted to harm Father.”

Ling Ruiyin frowned and asked, “Crown Prince, what do you think we should do?”

“Firstly, we need to ask Doctor Shen and all the doctors from the Imperial Academy of Medicine to try their best to cure Father. Secondly, we can’t spread this news or let others know why Father was poisoned,” Mo Junyu answered methodically.

“Why can’t we spread the news?”

Mo Junyu lowered his head and whispered, “We have to do so to ensure Father’s safety. If some people with evil intentions know Father’s condition, they may do something beyond expectation, which is impossible for us to defend effectively, but as long as we keep it a secret, those people don’t know the truth, so they don’t dare to act rashly.

“Moreover, Father’s safety is related to the stability of the country. If the officials and common people know the truth, it will probably cause turbulence at the imperial court. This…”

“Your Majesty, you finally wake up!”

Ling Ruiyin abruptly called and interrupted Mo Junyu, which scared him.

He suddenly raised his head and saw that Mo Xiangbin was staring at him. Nobody knew when the emperor had opened his eyes.

His eyes were deep with hidden meanings seemingly, which made Mo Junyu feel guilty and have cold sweat on his back.

Would his intention be seen through?
