Mo Junyang raised his eyes and glanced at Shi Qingxue, with ridicule in his stiff expression.

Shi Qingxue was so shy that she wanted to withdraw her hand.

“I haven’t rubbed it enough. Don’t move randomly.” Mo Junyang grasped her hand and didn’t give her a chance to dodge.

Shi Qingxue pouted and whispered resentfully, “I didn’t ask you to do this.”

Mo Junyang chuckled. “Right. I volunteered to do this, okay?”

In the end, he even kissed the back of the fair-skinned hand gently.

The warm feeling made Qingxue’s heart beat fast, and her face blushed in an instant. She questioned while stuttering, “What…What are you doing?”

Her voice was as low as a mosquito’s, and it was sweet, without the momentum of questioning.

Mo Junyang didn’t retreat after being rebuked but gripped Qingxue’s hand steadily. He had a faint smile on his cold lips, leaning forward.

“What do you think I am doing?”

Shi Qingxue felt that the man’s warm and wet breath approached her little by little. She closed her eyes subconsciously and raised her chin slightly.

When they were about to kiss each other, with a crack, the room door was suddenly pushed open, and somebody asked loudly, “What are you doing?”

The couple paused for a moment and then turned their heads, looking at the door at the same time.

They saw that Yan Xu stood with his hands on his hips at the door and swelled out his chest, staring at them angrily.

The question was from his mouth.

Then Mo Junzhan followed him and walked in.

In the beginning, Mo Junzhan’s eyes were confused. When he saw the crossed hands of Qingxue and Mo Junyang, he looked resentful immediately.

However, before Mo Junzhan spoke, Yan Xu was more indignant than him unexpectedly.

“Shi Qingxue, how dare you!”

Shi Qingxue was puzzled.

Mo Junzhan was shocked.

Mo Junyang was speechless.

The three showed different expressions and looked at Yan Xu with their faces beyond expression.

Nevertheless, Yan Xu didn’t realize that he had said something shocking. He stepped forward and stood in front of Mo Junzhan.

He looked as if he would stand up for Mo Junzhan and rebuked Shi Qingxue complacently, “You are His Excellency’s fiancee, yet you are immoral and date another man in secret, ruining your future husband’s fame. You should be killed.”

His reproach was fluent and he controlled his expression and posture well, like him when he rebuked his subordinates who did something wrong at ordinary times.

However, Yan Xu was careful and didn’t say anything too offensive but left a little leeway as he thought that King Rui’s heir doted on Shi Qingxue.

Moreover, he rebuked on behalf of King Rui’s heir first. Even if King Rui’s heir changed his mind and wanted to forgive Shi Qingxue in the future, he could pass the buck.

He was really a considerate subordinate.

Yan Xu started to play the peacock and thought that he made a right decision.

However, as soon as Yan Xu finished his words, Mo Junzhan exploded.

He vented his anger on Yan Xu. “Who gave you the courage to slander Qingxue?

“Believe it or not, I am going to take your life now. Check who should be killed.”

Yan Xu was petrified after being blamed. He looked at Mo Junzhan in a daze and couldn’t come to his senses after a long time.

Although he had guessed that King Rui’s heir might choose to be blind because he loved Shi Qingxue, he hadn’t expected that this man would be so blind.

He was cheated by his future wife.

Nevertheless, he chose to turn a blind eye?

And he even called Qingxue’s name so intimately…

It was not right.

Yan Xu’s expression stiffened, and he finally found something wrong, so he blurted out, “Your Excellency, aren’t you Shi Qingxue’s fiance? Why don’t you get mad?”

Mo Junzhan turned pale at once. Meeting Yan Xu’s doubtful eyes, he didn’t know how to make it reasonable.

In front of Yan Xu, he wouldn’t call Shi Qingxue’s name at ordinary times, but he was too angry today, so he didn’t notice it.

Wouldn’t he expose himself now?

But on second thought, Mo Junzhan felt that he was fed up with being King Rui’s heir, so it was fine if he exposed himself.

However, his eyes turning to Mo Junyang secretly became evasive for no reason.

He felt guilty.

Mo Junyang didn’t speak in the beginning. Till now, he finally showed a faint smile and looked at Yan Xu. “Lord Yan, what do you think?”

Yan Xu’s eyes fell on the crossed hands of Qingxue and Mo Junyang. They had an affair so openly, and this assistant was unique, or they didn’t have an affair.

Wouldn’t it mean that this man was not an assistant of King Rui’s heir but himself?

Looking at Yan Xu who turned pale visibly, Mo Junyang chuckled. “Lord Yan, have you guessed who I am?”

“You, you…” Yan Xu trembled and raised his hand, pointing to Mo Junyang. He tried hard to swallow and then said with difficulty, “You are King Rui’s heir.”

Mo Junyang laughed coldly and questioned in a low voice, “Since you know my identity, do you admit your fault, Lord Yan?”

Before Yan Xu realized what the man meant, his legs weakened, and he sat on the floor on his knees.

He tried to keep calm and pretended that he didn’t know anything, arguing, “I don’t know what you mean, Your Excellency.”

Mo Junzhan reminded him out of kindness. “Lord Yan, you almost burnt His Excellency to death in the small house.”

Yan Xu was shocked.

In the beginning, when Yan Xu doubted Mo Junyang’s identity, he had the plan to kill him and did that.

However, Mo Junyang was lucky and his reinforcements arrived, which put Yan Xu in a difficult position.

But Mo Junyang and his people didn’t bother about his crime of shooting arrows and set fire in order to murder the imperial envoy, so Yan Xu thought that it was forgotten, yet unexpectedly, the first thing Mo Junyang did after he exposed his identity was to punish Yan Xu for that matter.

Now he realized that Mo Junyang endured it because he didn’t want to reveal his identity.

After all, no ordinary person could be an imperial envoy…

Yan Xu’s pupils shrank suddenly, and then great joy spread all over his body.

He trembled uncontrollably and jumped up from the floor in an instant. Then he pointed to Mo Junzhan and said excitedly, “You disguise as a royal family member and have committed a capital crime which can cause the death of all your family members. I am going to report to His Majesty and bring you to justice.”

He spoke with justice, and it seemed that he was the most righteous official in the world.

But while speaking, he glanced at Mo Junyang repeatedly, with complacency on his face, as if he would surely win, seeming to say, “Look. I have the evidence against you. If you don’t want to be out of luck, let’s surrender and not blame each other.”

Yan Xu had wishful thinking.

Nevertheless, the three people were not in panic as he expected. Even their expressions didn’t change.

Mo Junzhan seemed unable to control himself at last and burst into laughter. “Yan Xu, do you know who I am?”

Yan Xu looked askance at him and said impolitely, “I don’t care who you are. I only know that you disguise as a royal family member and commit a hideous crime deserving the harshest punishment. I advise you to be well-behaved. Otherwise, you will suffer a lot.”

“Oh?” Mo Junzhan intentionally raised his voice and answered casually, “I have never seen anybody who can make me, a king, suffer a lot. I wonder if you can be the first one, Lord Yan.”

Yan Xu goggled and accurately found fault with Mo Junzhan’s words, saying angrily, “How dare you? Only the princes and the people superior to them qualify to call themselves king. Who are you? Do you qualify to call yourself king?”

Mo Junzhan snorted and asked at leisure, like a cat capturing a mouse, “You can report to my brother and ask him if I, Mo Junzhan qualify to call myself king. Huh?”

At first, Yan Xu didn’t react but looked dull.

However, after a while, his face got frightened gradually, and he trembled uncontrollably again.

Yan Xu was scared this time, not excited like before.

He raised his trembling hand and pointed to Mo Junzhan, stuttering again, “You, you…”

“What?” Mo Junzhan patted away Yan Xu’s hand without mercy and told him clearly, “I am Mo Junzhan. What? Do you plan to report to my brother and accuse me of disguising as a royal family member?”

Under Mo Junzhan’s cold stare, Yan Xu felt that a pair of invisible hands grasped his throat, which made him almost unable to breathe.

In the end, his eyes rolled and he fainted.

Looking at Yan Xu falling on the floor with a bang, Shi Qingxue opened her mouth wide in astonishment. “No way. He died so easily?”

Mo Junzhan reached out his hand to Yan Xu’s nose and said with disgust, “He is still alive.”

It would be funny if he was scared to death.

Shi Qingxue glanced at Mo Junyang and then at Mo Junzhan, asking, “What should we do now?”

Mo Junyang shrugged. “Tell some people to carry him away.”

When there were only three people left in the room, Mo Junzhan relaxed and lay on the soft couch regardless of his image, heaving a sigh of relief. “I finally feel comfortable.”

These days, in order to play the role of King Rui’s heir, he had to consider his image all the time, which tired him.

Otherwise, with his identity as the ninth prince, he didn’t need to assume a feigned manner in front of these petty officials.

He thought of something and instantly expressed to Mo Junyang, “You said that you would reveal your identity this time, and it has nothing to do with me.”

Mo Junyang nodded slightly and paused for a moment before saying, “Thanks.”

They were not on good terms all the time, and when they were most friendly, they just ignored each other.

Hearing Mo Junyang express his thanks seriously all of a sudden, Mo Junzhan sprang from the soft couch and felt itch on his back. He didn’t feel good.

Mo Junzhan moved his hip restlessly and asked haltingly, “Who needs your thanks?”

While speaking, he had a slight blush on his tan skin.

He couldn’t see it but felt that his ear was burning hot, and he involuntarily reached out his hand to scratch it.

The other two naturally noticed his shyness yet didn’t expose him as they were thoughtful.

Shi Qingxue kept her countenance and changed the subject. “You almost scared Yan Xu to death, and he won’t let it go at that. You should be careful.”

She had a foreboding since just now, and she had never expected that this foreboding would come true someday.
