Chapter 185 - Why Would I Endure? (1/2)

Mo Junyang’s cold but handsome face changed because of Yelü Anchen’s words. He looked ghastly pale, with anger on his brows.

Yelü Anchen wasn’t afraid at all but got excited secretly, thinking, “Huh, I just want to drive Mo Junyang crazy.”

But Mo Junyang said coldly, “Prince Yelü, please speak with caution. If you ruin the fame of a noble lady from our country, I am afraid that it will influence the two countries’ diplomatic relation.”

Yelü Anchen was speechless for a while. If Wu Yalei didn’t stop him from behind, he might fight against Mo Junyang again.

For a moment, the men’s group fell silent, in embarrassment.

Mo Junyang looked low-key, but he was stubborn and hot-tempered, and even Mo Xiangbin could do nothing to him. While Yelü Anchen was like a bomb which could explode at any time, and he didn’t know what apologizing was.

When the two were at loggerheads, about to cause trouble, Mo Junyu hurriedly stood between the two and changed the subject with a smile. “Prince Yelü, you came to the Moon Lake for the first time and I think you have never seen the beautiful scene here. How about I take you to walk around?”

“Your Highness, you are so thoughtful. Our prince came to enjoy the scenery, so he is naturally happy to go with you.” Wu Yalei was afraid that Yelü Anchen would fight with Mo Junyang once more, so he answered on behalf of his master in a hurry, despite of being a backseat driver.

At the same time, he winked at Yelü Anchen in secret. “Master, calm down. His Majesty told us to be low-key and not to offend King Rui no matter what. Don’t cause trouble at the critical moment.”

Yelü Anchen was resentful, but thinking of Yelü Beichen, he endured it no matter how unwilling he was and silently followed Mo Junyu to the lakeside.

The others enjoyed themselves everywhere in twos and threes. Before the war started, it was stopped by Mo Junyu.

Qu Yuebai wiped the sweat on his forehead and sighed deeply, unable to do anything to his master’s behavior. “Can’t you always keep calm? You know that Prince Yelü irritated you on purpose. Why did you fall into his trap?”

Although Mo Junyang didn’t make trouble for Shi Qingxue and the fourth prince of the Wei Country as Yelü Anchen hoped, it was not a wise choice to confront Yelü Anchen.

Mo Junyang showed an indifferent smile and leered at Qu Yuebai. “I can keep calm, but why would I endure this time?”

Qu Yuebai couldn’t reply.

Fine, he knew that his master was like this. If Mo Junyang was unhappy, he could even provoke the God, so it was understandable that he attacked Yelü Anchen in speech.

Moreover, Yelü Anchen even commented on Shi Qingxue. He just courted death!

Qu Yuebai looked up at Shi Qingxue in the distance and then glanced at Wei Shuye behind her. He said hesitantly with a frown, “Shi Qingxue and Prince Shuye appear to be too close indeed…”

The two met for the first time today, and they went everywhere together, talking happily. Anybody would doubt that if they had some secret relationship.

“Gee, when did you become like this? You like to gossip?” Mo Junyang goggled at him impatiently and rebuked him without mercy.

The gossiping Qu Yuebai scowled with his face stiffening, looking at Mo Junyang for a long time without saying anything.

However, after speaking, King Rui ignored him and went away alone in the opposite direction to Shi Qingxue.

It appeared that he went to enjoy the beautiful scenery alone.

While Qu Yuebai looked at Mo Junyang’s straight back for quite a while and couldn’t help but smile slyly, grunting, “So what even if you pretend to be indifferent? Don’t you think that I can see that you were in a bad mood?

“You just suffer from a false sense of pride. Wait till Shi Qingxue is snatched away. Then you will cry!”

Qu Yuebai was unhappy and openly cursed that his master would be single for a lifetime.

The party by the Moon Lake was held because Mo Junjiu wanted to hook up with the princess from the Zhao Country, Zhao Niaoniao, but she was nowhere to be found after having a “heart-to-heart talk” with Shi Qingxue. Mo Junjiu waited by the lake for a whole day and was finally told that Zhao Niaoniao had gone back to the embassy alone because she felt unwell.

Mo Junjiu was angry and reproached all the servants in charge of the party.

Mo Yuzhen couldn’t bear to see that and was bursting to say, “Brother, Zhao Niaoniao is in love with Mo Junyang since long ago. Even though he refused to marry her, this princess has the passion of love and won’t marry anybody but him. Why do you get involved in this mess?”

Mo Junjiu was perturbed and interrupted Mo Yuzhen crossly, “What do you know? Zhao Niaoniao is a princess of the Zhao Country and is quite favored. I hear that her position is not inferior to any prince’s in her country, and Prince Haoran cares about her a lot. If I marry her and win the Zhao Country’s support, would I worry that Father won’t make me the heir to the throne?”

After hearing that, Mo Yuzhen went silent.
