Shi Qingxue turned to Mo Junyang and hesitated for a moment. Then she said, “I won’t go back to the capital. I will take a shortcut and go to the northern border. You…”
“I will go with you.” Mo Junyang interrupted Shi Qingxue and mentioned his decision.
Shen Luo goggled. “Are you crazy?”
Shi Qingxue didn’t have a title. She came to Jiangzhou just like to have a travel.
When she acted willfully, others couldn’t find a way to attack her effectively even if they wanted to say something.
However, Mo Junyang was different. He was an imperial envoy appointed by Mo Junyu to solve the case in Jiangzhou.
After he solved the case, he should return to the capital to report back.
Moreover, they had cheated at Yan Xu’s case. It was possible that they couldn’t hide it from Mo Junyu, but they wouldn’t be exposed.
It was a sensitive period, and the only thing that Mo Junyang could and should do was return to the capital to report back as they had planned. And he couldn’t make more trouble.
Shi Qingxue noticed the anxiety in Shen Luo’s words, and she forcefully restrained the joy which she felt just now.
She smiled at Mo Junyang peacefully and stated in a soft voice, “Shen Luo is right. You must go back to the capital first. Don’t worry. I will just go to the northern border to have a look. I won’t do anything. Even if there is something, I will wait for you before I do it. Relax.”
This plan seemed to be the most effective, and it made sense.
However, Mo Junyang remained unmoved and thought that it would be surprising if she was well-behaved.
The man made a decision calmly. “His Highness knows well about the case in Jiangzhou, too, and it’s proper if he returns to the capital to report back. I will go to the northern border with you.”
“Your Excellency, please don’t mess around, okay? No matter how well His Highness knows about Jiangzhou, he is not you.
“Especially under the current situation, do you think that His Majesty will agree to let His Highness do it for you?” Shen Luo advised anxiously.
Mo Junyu was suspicious, and he might not even fully trust Mo Junyang, let alone Mo Junzhan who was not on his side before.
Mo Junyu didn’t suppress Mo Junzhan like he did to the other brothers just because this ninth prince was honest and brainless. He didn’t need to try hard to wipe this boy out, but Mo Junzhan would make a lot of trouble.
For example, if Mo Junyang didn’t help Mo Junzhan behind the scenes this time, Mo Junzhan would be condemned as he killed a loyal official and disobeyed the imperial edict.
Even though Mo Junzhan was the emperor’s brother, it was useless.
Now Mo Junzhan would return to the capital to report back for Mo Junyang. Not to mention if Mo Junyu would buy it, it was uncertain whether Mo Junzhan could make it.
Shen Luo analyzed the pros and cons for Mo Junyang in a deep voice. While speaking, he felt sad.
He was a doctor, and his job was to treat patients and save people’s lives, but he was worried about Mo Junyang so much and had to mention what Qu Yuebai had told him to convince Mo Junyang.
However, would Mo Junyang be convinced easily?
Even if Qu Yuebai were here, it might be useless, not to mention Shen Luo’s clumsy explanation.
Mo Junyang expressed directly, “It doesn’t matter. I will explain to His Majesty after I come back from the northern border. Just do as I said. Zichao, Qingxue and I will take a shortcut and go to the northern border. You and Ziye return to the capital with the others to report back.”
“Junyang…” Shen Luo still wanted to advise him.
Mo Junyang waved his hand in advance and ordered in a peaceful tone which was above suspicion, “Do as I said.”
Shi Qingxue looked at Shen Luo’s receding figure and finally got relieved.
She couldn’t help but reach out to grab Mo Junyang’s hand, whispering in his ear, “Thanks.”
Mo Junyang grasped her hand and got closer to her. He asked softly beside her ear, “Forgive me, okay?”
In the beginning, Shi Qingxue didn’t know what Mo Junyang meant. Looking at his apologetic expression, she thought in a daze, “It’s rare that Mo Junyang shows such an expression.”
Then the man continued in a deep voice, “I have driven Ye Zhixin away. In the future, something like this won’t happen, so…”
He paused for a moment and then said in a feeble voice with difficulty, “So don’t be mad at me.”
Shi Qingxue finally understood what Mo Junyang meant and couldn’t help but laugh. “What? Am I so narrow-minded in your opinion?”
It was Mo Junyang’s turn to be in a daze.
Shi Qingxue smiled at the man slyly and looked complacent. Her eyes were bright, while she said sweetly, “Fine. I admit that I was mad at the first place. You are mine. Why did she, an outsider pester you? But after I rushed out, I wasn’t mad anymore, because…”
She intentionally stopped talking, with brilliance in her bright eyes.
She stood on tiptoe and moved closer to Mo Junyang, kissing his nose tip gently. A feeble and happy voice came from her throat. “Because it is you.”
Shi Qingxue trusted Mo Junyang more than herself. Even if he didn’t give her a promise, she believed that he wouldn’t make her sad for something like this.
Because it was you.
It was almost the sweetest confession between lovers.
Because she believed him.
They chatted intimately for a while. Although what happened at the northern border still baffled Shi Qingxue, it couldn’t negate the happiness and relief brought by Mo Junyang.
So she wasn’t as perplexed as before even when she thought about the war at the northern border.
After saying only a few words, Mo Junyang made the first plan, including the fastest path to the northern border, how to go to Huwenbei, what they should do if they met the enemies, what they should do to deal with their people.
However, Shi Qingxue didn’t approve of one point.
“It’s time-consuming to go to the northern border in a carriage. It will probably take half a month even if we are on the journey day and night. Let’s ride horses.”
Mo Junyang retorted, “It’s thousands of kilometers away from the northern border, and you will be unable to stand it.”
Shi Qingxue kept silent. She knew that Mo Junyang cared about her, yet she couldn’t wait.
She gritted her teeth and insisted. “Anyway, let’s ride horses first. If it’s…hard, let’s talk about it later.”
It should be practical.
Shi Qingxue prayed in secret. Seeing that she insisted, Mo Junyang couldn’t bear to say more. He just said, “Okay. Let’s set out later.”
“Okay.”
Mo Junyang pondered for a moment and personally prepared some soft cotton, putting it on the saddle. It could lighten the friction force between the saddle and the inner sides of the thighs, making Shi Qingxue more comfortable.
Before Shen Luo finished everything in Jiangzhou, the three instantly headed to the northern border in the afternoon.
They rode horses which ran quickly on the way. In the beginning, it was the smooth official road, and it was easy to go. Even if they rode faster, it didn’t influence them greatly, but later, in order to take a shortcut, they took the mountain paths most of the time. The distance was much shorter, yet it was more difficult to go.
On the third day, Shi Qingxue felt that the inner sides of her thighs seemed to be burnt, and she almost shed tears when she felt the pain.
However, she gritted her teeth and endured it, keeping silent. She even sped up and made herself look as if there were nothing wrong.
Mo Junyang couldn’t be fooled so easily. It happened that they reached a bigger town that night.
He decided to stay in a hotel and didn’t give Shi Qingxue a chance to object.
“I am fine.” Shi Qingxue’s thighs were trembling involuntarily, but she still struggled and tried hard to persuade Mo Junyang to continue with the journey.
Mo Junyang glanced at her and carried her without demur. “Ah!”
Shi Qingxue was scared and hugged Mo Junyang’s neck subconsciously as she was afraid that she would fall, while the workers in the hotel were attracted by her scream and turned to them from time to time.
Such a big girl needed somebody to carry her, and it was so shameful.
Shi Qingxue couldn’t bother about the journey anymore but buried her burning face on Mo Junyang’s shoulder. She deceived herself and pretended that she didn’t see the others’ questioning eyes.
Mo Junyang didn’t care about these eyes. He carried Shi Qingxue upstairs and entered the room, as if nobody were around. Then he told a worker to prepare hot water for them.
Shi Qingxue was put on the bed. When she touched the soft and comfortable mattress, she felt that the bones all over her body seemed to collapse, and she just wanted to lie on the bed without doing anything else.
“It’s so comfortable.” Shi Qingxue moaned unconsciously and buried her hairy head in the soft pillow. She even rubbed against it, like a kitten which finally went back to its nest when it was tired after playing around.
Mo Junyang saw Shi Qingxue’s unconscious action to play cute, with a faint smile on his cold lips.
He scratched Shi Qingxue’s head for a while. Till she groaned with displeasure, he rubbed it twice more and then withdrew his hand, saying in a soft voice, “Have a rest first. After you take a bath, I will apply ointment to your thighs and massage for you.”
“Hmm,” Shi Qingxue had closed her eyes and answered in a low voice.
She frowned slightly. Nobody knew whether she responded to Mo Junyang or she got impatient to hear his voice.
Mo Junyang lowered his head and moved closer to her, looking at her beautiful face carefully. He didn’t do anything. Only with this posture, he felt satisfied beyond expression.
Fifteen minutes had passed, but Mo Junyang felt that it seemed to be in blinks of an eye. At the moment, there was a knock at the room door.
Mo Junyang got up and opened the door. The worker attentively carried a big bucket of hot water into the room and put it in the bathroom, saying with a smile, “Sir, please enjoy yourself. If you need anything, please summon me.”
Mo Junyang waved him away and walked back to the bedside, whispering in Shi Qingxue’s ear, “Qingxue, get up and take a bath to ease your weariness.”
Shi Qingxue was unaffected. She closed her eyes and breathed regularly, as she didn’t hear his words.
Mo Junyang waited a while patiently and then asked again.
Shi Qingxue heard him this time, yet she just waved her hand impatiently and buried her head deeper, murmuring, as if playing the woman, “Don’t disturb me.”
Fine, she really fell asleep and couldn’t be awakened.
Mo Junyang couldn’t help laughing. He didn’t try again to wake her up but carried her, walking to the bathroom.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Shi Qingxue turned to Mo Junyang and hesitated for a moment. Then she said, “I won’t go back to the capital. I will take a shortcut and go to the northern border. You…”
“I will go with you.” Mo Junyang interrupted Shi Qingxue and mentioned his decision.
