Chapter 144 - The Crown Prince’s Anger (1/2)

Mo Junyu sat in the living room of King Rui’s mansion, and a young man about 25 or 26 years old stood behind him. His name was Mo You, the crown prince’s distant cousin.

Mo Junyang walked into the living room. Before he spoke, Mo Junyu asked him in a loud voice, “Junyang, what the hell are you doing these days?”

Mo Junyang remained calm and found a seat randomly before asking, “Your Highness, what do you mean?”

“I won’t say anything unnecessary to you. You forced Qin Shirong out of his position, and I didn’t stop you, but you were related to Zhao Ming’s case earlier. Can’t you restrain yourself? Why did you make everybody know that Qin Shirong was harmed by you?”

Mo Junyu was furious at Mo Junyang’s recklessness and shouted in sheer exasperation, “In less than one month, two important officials at the imperial court lost their positions and got killed, with their whole families destroyed, because of you. Will you be happy only after the imperial court gets unstable and all the officials in the capital city are frightened?”

In fact, these were not important. As a qualified crown prince, Mo Junyu wouldn’t be scared by such turbulence. What he couldn’t endure most was that Mo Junyang did everything silently without asking him in advance, and afterward, he didn’t even give a reasonable explanation. He just didn’t take his master seriously.

However, Mo Junyang only raised his eyelids lazily, with no emotion on his face, and he said indifferently, “Your Highness, I think you should be satisfied with the current situation, right?”

The crown prince who had got the advantage was unable to reply.

Fine. Mo Junyu had been the weakest prince in the past, but he became the most stable force. He was the biggest winner after the turbulence, and he was insatiable to denounce Mo Junyang’s deeds.

But he was upset. Especially till now, Mo Junyang didn’t regret it, which made the crown prince angry.

“Mo Junyang!” Mo Junyu called Mo Junyang’s full name, and his face was serious unprecedentedly.

He stressed each word. “I hope you can realize that you are in my boat. If you act willfully as before, I may reasonably reconsider our partnership.”

Oh, it even endangered their partnership, but Mo Junyang still had no emotion on his face.

Qu Yuebai couldn’t help but wipe the sweat on his forehead, explaining for his master, “Your Highness, please don’t be mad. His Excellency didn’t want to irritate you, but it happened all of a sudden. Lady Qingxue is still unconscious, and he was worried about her…”

Mo Junyu’s face was ghastly pale and he shouted emotionally, “Qingxue is the reason that he did something without thinking? Shi Qingxue is so important, and would he…” Betray me because of her.

“Your Highness!” Qu Yuebai interrupted Mo Junyu in a sharp voice and didn’t have time to care if he respected ceremonial rites.

He was afraid that if Mo Junyu said the next words, their partnership would end.

He looked at Mo Junyang subconsciously and saw his face turning cold as expected, as if a storm would come.

A conflict might break out at any moment, so Qu Yuebai added in a hurry, “Your Highness, you are kind-hearted. Hope that you can give His Excellency time to rest for the sake of his effort of working for you many years. In the future, he would do everything for you like before.”

Mo Junyu regretted after shouting. A wise master would never threaten his subordinate with something he valued most and it was easy to lose control. Now that Qu Yuebai gave him a chance to change his mind, the crown prince seized the opportunity and comforted softly, “Junyang, just have a rest in your mansion these days. I will help you in the imperial palace. Take care.”

“Thanks, Your Highness!” Qu Yuebai answered instantly and grabbed Mo Junyang’s sleeve in secret.

Mo Junyang met Qu Yuebai’s worried and anxious eyes and stood up slowly, bowing. “Your Highness, goodbye.”

Qu Yuebai was speechless. Fine, Mo Junyang told the guest to leave, and it meant that he expressed his opinion. At this time, Qu Yuebai could hardly expect more.

He comforted himself and smiled at Mo Junyu. “Your Highness, bye.”

Mo Junyu glanced at Mo Junyang for the last time and then left.

As soon as they went away, Qu Yuebai’s forced smile disappeared.

He looked at Mo Junyang helplessly. “I know you are not in a good mood and don’t want to talk with him, but the crown prince is your ally you chose in the first place. If you fall out with him at this time, would you watch your efforts of many years become in vain?”

Mo Junyang was expressionless and leaned against the table, asking casually, “So what?”

Qu Yuebai responded, “…Don’t you care…”

He bit his tongue and stopped.

He didn’t need to ask this question. Before Mo Junyang replied, Qu Yuebai was clear about the answer.

Mo Junyang didn’t care at all.

“Alright! I know you are not in the mood to get involved in the fight among the factions at the imperial court.” Qu Yuebai had to lower his bottom line. “But you can’t ignore Yuexuan and the others. Didn’t you see what a mess they made in the Love Xue House?”

Mo Junyang raised his brows and sneered. “Didn’t you allow them to? It was you who cut the young master’s wrist, right?”

“Uh…” Qu Yuebai was used to pretending to advise in earnest words and with good intentions. He heard Mo Junyang’s words all of a sudden and found that he was exposed as a liar.

He hadn’t expected that Mo Junyang was in the bedroom, as numb as a stone but knew everything that was happening. It was horrible.

Mo Junyang curled up his lips helplessly. “To be honest, when I was in the bedroom, I thought if only I could become a stone and had no sense. Unfortunately…”

Some abilities were deep in his cells. Even if he didn’t want to hear, he couldn’t ignore everything.
