Chapter 193 - Who Is the Murderer (2/2)

They felt guilty surprisingly.

When Mo Junyang looked at him, Mo Junhao felt nervous, as if his life and death were in the hands of the other man, and then he felt disappointed.

He and Mo Junyang always had disagreements and belonged to different factions, so perhaps Mo Junyang wouldn’t agree with him this time.

Beyond Mo Junhao’s expectation, Mo Junyang then replied impassively, “We can try the fourth prince’s solution.”

Even Mo Junhao opened his mouth wide in astonishment, let alone others. He looked at Mo Junyang with his wide eyes, as if seeing a ghost.

Only Mo Xiangbin nodded with satisfaction. “Since Junyang said that, let’s just do it. All of you, keep your mouths shut about what happened today. If I know that it is revealed, don’t blame me when I am heartless.”

Seeing that Mo Xiangbin planned to minimize the problem, Mo Junjiu became more reluctant. Regardless of Liang Jingxian’s stopping him, he suddenly inquired, “Lady Qingxue has also known it. What should we do?”

He was not stupid and just mumbled, but his voice was loud enough to make everybody present hear clearly.

Mo Junyang was the first one to react, but his reaction was slight. He just glanced at Mo Junjiu, who trembled for no reason and couldn’t say what he was about to say to make things worse.

His glance was too horrible.

Mo Junjiu thought of the Qin family’s extinction somehow.

But his question was to the point. Shi Qingxue also knew that the colorful phenix was poisoned. No matter if she knew that it had died, it was great hidden trouble.

Mo Junhao spoke for Shi Qingxue first unexpectedly. He patted his chest and guaranteed, “Qingxue knows about the seriousness of the matter. Even if she knows it, she wouldn’t tell anybody. Father, if you are still worried, now I can go to Duke Shi’s mansion to tell her. Then it would be no problem.”

After speaking, Mo Junhao seemed to glance at Mo Junyang unintentionally, with provocation which couldn’t be concealed in his eyes.

He was not blind and had found that after Shi Qingxue recovered, she kept away from Mo Junyang unexpectedly. Although he was surprised, he cared about the result more.

Now that Mo Junyang gave him a chance to steal his girlfriend, Mo Junhao would be an idiot if he didn’t take it, and he had a feeling somehow that Mo Junyang would have no objection this time.

When all people turned to Mo Junyang subconsciously, he seemed not to have heard Mo Junhao’s words. He lowered his head and his lips curled up. Judging from the side of his face, he looked distant and strangers couldn’t get close to him.

But he didn’t say anything.

Mo Xiangbin was in doubt, but he didn’t ask. Instead, he just nodded at Mo Junhao indifferently. “I’ll leave it to you.”

Mo Junhao asked, “How should we deal with the colorful phenix’s dead body?”

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The poisoned colorful phenix was still a treasure.

Mo Junhao couldn’t help but get excited.

He had figured out this idea and it satisfied Mo Xiangbin. So his father might let him handle the colorful phenix’s dead body.

“Try to keep it a secret. Don’t tell anybody. Since the colorful phenix has been sent to King Rui’s mansion, I believe that Junyang can arrange for its body.” Mo Xiangbin said a few words casually and ruined Mo Junhao’s fantasy.

Mo Junhao was so furious.

Why was he told to do the most tiring job? But Mo Junyang got the colorful phenix while he didn’t need to do anything.

Even a mere cold dead body was enough to make Mo Junhao so jealous that his heart distorted.

But he was good at pretending, and a smile was always on his face. He talked to Mo Junyang, “Junyang, thanks for dealing with it.”

Mo Junyang glimpsed at him lazily, and with a sneer, he responded meaningfully, “You are welcome. Your Highness, you are the most tired…”

Mo Junyang stopped at a point, but Mo Junhao thought that Mo Junyang laughed at him secretly as he did something in vain.

He got more furious as he was thinking. Then he almost couldn’t restrain his anger.

Mo Xiangbin waved his hand wearily and wanted to drive all of them away. “Okay, I am exhausted today. If there is nothing else, all of you can leave now.”

Then he saluted Ling Ruiyin and stated indifferently but retained his majesty, “Mother, you are tired today, too. Go back to rest earlier.”

“…Okay.” Ling Ruiyin intended to justify Mo Junyu, but from beginning to end, Mo Xiangbin didn’t give her a chance to speak.

Ling Ruiyin could do nothing but let the maids help her go back to the Empress Dowager’s residence.

When she walked to the door, Mo Xiangbin suddenly declared, “Crown Prince, stay.”

Everybody on the spot was stunned, and even Mo Junyu looked at Mo Xiangbin in disbelief.

It was because of nothing but Mo Xiangbin calling him “crown prince”.

Didn’t Mo Xiangbin have a plan to depose the crown prince?

All people had this thought in mind, but they had no chance to think, as all of them were asked to leave the Moral Hall.

The Moral Hall’s gate was closed, and what Mo Xiangbin would discuss with Mo Junyu remained a mystery.
