Seeing that the guards took Mo Junhao away like dragging a stray dog, Shen Luo sighed with emotion.

“Junyang, it’s said that there is no kinship in the royal family. It has really broadened my views today.”

If Shen Luo didn’t see it with his own eyes, he couldn’t believe that somebody could do something so evil as to kill his father, the emperor.

After killing his father, the criminal even arranged everything calmly and summoned his elder brother, putting all the blame on him.

Gee, if there were the words “anti-social personality” in this world, they must be used to describe Mo Junhao.

Mo Junyang glanced at Shen Luo indifferently, saying, “Cut the crap. Let’s go.”

Afterward, he walked out.

In the beginning, Shen Luo was confused about where Mo Junyang was going. When he saw that Mo Junyang headed to the prison of the Ministry of Penalty, he was more surprised.

“Are you going to pick up the crown prince?” Shen Luo stopped Mo Junyang.

At the moment, shouldn’t they report the details of the case to Ling Ruiyin at once and wait for her to make a final decision?

Even though Mo Junyang heard this case and found the real murderer, he didn’t have the right to release a prisoner without permission.

Mo Junyang said, “If we don’t go there, it will probably be too late.”

“What?”

Shen Luo was stunned and watched Mo Junyang leave directly.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the master.

When they reached the prison of the Ministry of Penalty, Shen Luo finally understood what Mo Junyang meant by saying that it would be too late.

Mo Junyu was the crown prince with an honorable title, so even though he was locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Penalty, he enjoyed the most honorable treatment. He stayed in a single room and it was clean and quiet, not disturbed.

However, it meant that the people outside didn’t know what was happening in this single room.

As soon as Shen Luo pushed the innermost door open, he saw that Mo Junyu was tied up to a pillar and a masked man in black grabbed a sharp dagger, trying to stab Mo Junyu’s vital part.

“Your Highness!”

Shen Luo forgot himself and shouted.

The masked man reacted and wanted to speed up, yet his wrist got numb suddenly, and the dagger fell from his hand.

Seeing that he failed in the assassination, the masked man tried to flee from the window, but Wei Zichao had predicted it and jumped up, standing in front of the window in advance. After being kicked, the masked man fell on the floor.

The mask on his face loosened, and a young face was revealed.

Mo Junyang sneered. “Luo Ziyuan, you are really the loyalest lackey of the fourth prince.

“What? As you know that your master has been captured, so you want to remove the source of the trouble? But do you think that your master will take the throne after you kill the crown prince?”

Luo Ziyuan was seen through, so he turned pale and didn’t explain away. He just gritted his teeth. “No more words. Just kill me as you wish.”

“Gee, you are really a tough guy.” Shen Luo tut-tutted.

It was not his first time to see Luo Ziyuan. He stood in front of Luo Ziyuan with interest and looked him up and down for a long time. Then he said all of a sudden, “Junyang, anyway, the problem has been solved. Leave this man to me.”

Afterward, he stared at Mo Junyang and prepared to speak out a lot of righteous reasons after the master asked why.

Mo Junyang just glanced at him, saying coldly, “Suit yourself.”

Shen Luo was speechless.

He had never seen such an annoying guy. Would Mo Junyang die if he let Shen Luo occasionally guess what he was thinking about?

Shen Luo was pissed off.

Luo Ziyuan who was prepared to face death looked confused when he suddenly heard that this man dressed like a Confucian scholar wanted to keep him.

Mo Junyang must have known that Luo Ziyuan was the most capable assistant to Mo Junhao, whose many deeds had something to do with Luo Ziyuan.

So after Mo Junhao failed, Luo Ziyuan would come to only one end.

Death!

Why did this man want him? Did he want to subdue him?

“Don’t need to make futile efforts. Although I am not stubbornly loyal, I know that a servant won’t serve two masters. If you want me to surrender to you, don’t try it.” Luo Ziyuan raised his head proudly and presented his views vehemently.

Nevertheless, as soon as he finished his words, his head was pounded by Shen Luo.

Shen Luo glanced at him, as if looking at an idiot. “Who wants you to be loyal to us? I just want you to test my medicine.”

Luo Ziyuan’s heroic words seemed to become a joke.

Even though he was fearless, he was speechless after hearing Shen Luo’s words.

Shen Luo said, “Moreover, your master has failed, so it can be seen that your capability is just so-so. What can you do?

“Be loyal to our master? Don’t flatter yourself.”

Luo Ziyuan couldn’t find a word to reply.

He was so angry that he turned pale and red and trembled, pointing to Shen Luo, unable to speak after a long time.

Shen Luo was finally satisfied after he vented his anger on this man. Then he waved his hand and gestured for Wei Zichao to take Luo Ziyuan away.

Shen Luo seemed to have got a plaything that he expected for long, so he couldn’t wait to follow them.

At the moment, Mo Junyu was released from the pillar, in an awkward position.

He straightened his hair and clothes in a hurry and then asked in embarrassment, “Anyway, Luo Ziyuan is the second legitimate son of the Minister of Penalty. If there is something wrong after you leave him to Doctor Shen, perhaps we can’t explain to his father Lord Luo.”

“Shen Luo knows what to do.”

Mo Junyang just explained simply. Seeing that Mo Junyu wanted to say more, he added, “Luo Ziyuan attempted to murder the new emperor of the Mo Dynasty and committed a capital crime of rebellion. He deserves it even if the nine degrees of his kindred are eliminated. What do you think Lord Luo will say?”

Mo Junyu paused for a moment and then found that it was true, so he stopped talking about this matter.

Afterward, he asked, “What on earth happened?”

As soon as he saw Mo Junyang, Mo Junyu calmed down.

He believed that he would be fine as long as Mo Junyang was here, but Mo Xiangbin had been killed miserably in his bedroom and Mo Junyu was the only person at the scene. It was too weird.

Mo Junyu couldn’t figure it out after pondering for a long time. He still looked surprised and stared at Mo Junyang in a daze after the latter simply told him what Mo Junhao had done.

After a long time, he managed to close his mouth with an effort and frowned tightly.

In the end, he sighed deeply. “Didn’t he…court death?”

Mo Junyu shook his head. He always took Mo Junhao as his most powerful opponent these years and even thought earlier that he would be doomed soon, yet there were earth-shaking changes after only a short period.

Everything in the world could hardly be predicted.

“What should we do now?” Mo Junyu asked subconsciously.

Mo Junyang couldn’t help laughing. “I should ask you this question.”

In any respect, the decision-maker should be Mo Junyu.

Mo Junyu finally realized this point and touched his nose tip, smiling in embarrassment. “I…I just want to hear your opinion.”

However, Mo Junyu knew that Mo Junyang would never influence his decision at the critical moment. Meeting his eyes with a faint smile, Mo Junyu looked awkward again.

Fortunately, Mo Junyang didn’t keep Mo Junyu embarrassed for too long. He reminded seriously, “His Majesty passed away, and it will make the country unstable easily, so we need to be careful. Mo Junhao killed His Majesty, which is a capital crime, but it’s related to the dignity of the royal family and the stability of society, so we’d better keep it a secret.

“Your Highness, you should be cautious. If some people with evil intentions make use of it and gain profit, it will be troublesome.”

Mo Junyu heard these words and looked serious gradually.

He pondered for a moment. When he raised his head again, he put on airs as the crown prince. “In this case, let’s go back to the imperial palace at once.”

As Mo Junyang expected, as soon as the news of Mo Xiangbin’s death spread, all people at the imperial court were shocked, but because the Empress Dowager said that the late emperor died of an illness, and the Imperial Academy of Medicine and the miracle-working doctor Shen Luo proved it, even if some people with ulterior intentions wanted to make a fuss about this matter, they lost the opportunity.

At last, Mo Junyang found the imperial edict to decide the next emperor which had been hidden by Mo Junhao under the eave outside the emperor’s bedroom.

With this imperial edict, Mo Junyu would take the throne logically as he was the heir to the throne.

As for the fourth prince’s followers, some of them wanted to stand up for Mo Junhao who was secretly put in the prison of the Imperial Kinship Bureau, but nobody knew what Mo Junyang had done, and these people ceased all activities for now.

At least, they didn’t dare to ask Mo Junyu for Mo Junhao at the imperial court openly.

Mo Junyu heaved a sigh of relief yet was curious about what Mo Junyang had done.

“Junyang, what did you do to make the fourth prince’s followers shut up?”

The ceremony of the new emperor’s succession was around the corner, while Mo Junyu couldn’t restrain his curiosity but insisted on asking Mo Junyang about this matter.

Mo Junyang was straightforward and explained casually, “Those officials chose to follow Mo Junhao just for profit. So what do you think they will do if they can’t gain profit after standing up for Mo Junhao?

“Will they risk their lives for him?”

Mo Junyang’s last snort made Mo Junyu dumbfounded for quite a while. Although he was satisfied with such a result, the fact that Mo Junyang pointed out made him feel sad for the loss of his kind.

He said gloomily, “But in this case, they don’t surrender to me sincerely. If they can gain profit in the future, they may be hidden trouble.”

“Sincerely?”

Mo Junyang snorted, as if he heard a joke.

He glanced at Mo Junyu. “You have learnt how to be an emperor since childhood. Shouldn’t you be most skilled in controlling people?”

Mo Junyu’s eyes darkened. “It’s easy to say, yet how can it be so simple when it is put into practice?”

While speaking, Mo Junyu couldn’t help but glance at Mo Junyang with expectancy.

After all, he hoped that Mo Junyang could remove the hidden trouble for him.

Mo Junyang just lowered his head and asked impassively, “Your Highness, who do you think will take the throne in the future? Me?”

Mo Junyu was speechless.

Perhaps there was nobody in the world but Mo Junyang who dared to be so impolite to this man who would be the most honorable person in Mo Country soon.

However, Mo Junyu was speechless and couldn’t get mad, nor could he retort.

Indeed, it was his duty to take the throne and wipe out the forces against him, yet he pinned his hopes on Mo Junyang, which showed that this emperor was not dutiful.

“Forget it. You can go now.”
