Chapter 213 - Kneel Down and Beg Me (1/2)
Mo Junjiu’s hands hidden in his sleeves were full of sweat, and his back was sweaty. But he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
As he saw that Mo Junyang was threatened by him, his fear and worry turned into hatred and complacency.
He had nursed a grievance against Mo Junyang and would get back at him this time.
Mo Junjiu raised his chin arrogantly and said, “It’s up to your behavior.”
“Let her go. Whatever you want, I can satisfy you!” Mo Junyang didn’t want to waste time with Mo Junjiu, so he made an offer.
Cao Qicai got overjoyed after hearing that and responded, “You let us leave here first. Don’t chase us!”
As soon as Mo Junyang showed up, Cao Qicai realized that they were going to be defeated. If they didn’t give up, they might be unable to retreat, let alone conquering the imperial palace and usurping the throne.
The most important thing was to run away from the imperial palace and return to their base, so they could plan for the future.
It happened that they had captured Shi Qingxue, who could be a bargaining chip.
However, no matter how perfect and reasonable Cao Qicai’s plan was, it couldn’t compare with Mo Junjiu’s hate for Mo Junyang.
Mo Junjiu’s plan had been ruined by Mo Junyang several times and he bore a grudge against Mo Junyang for a long time. He had thought hundreds of times about how he would humiliate Mo Junyang.
Now he had such a great chance, so how would he miss it?
Then he shouted loudly, “It’s not so easy. If you really want to save Shi Qingxue, just kneel down and kowtow to me. After I get happy, maybe I will release your sweetheart.”
“Wow!”
As soon as he made such a humiliating offer, everybody behind Mo Junyang got resentful.
Even Cao Qicai couldn’t help but gasp and wonder if Mo Junjiu was insane.
Mo Junjiu even wanted to insult Mo Junyang in public. Would he really fight against Mo Junyang till death?
If it were somebody else, Cao Qicai wouldn’t be so frightened. After all, they had a bargaining chip.
But thinking that their opponent was Mo Junyang, he couldn’t help but feel a shiver down his spine.
In the past, Mo Junyang wiped out the Zhao family and killed all the members of the Qin family without a warning, which was spread till now. All people felt terrified to hear that. If not necessary, nobody wanted to offend such a malevolent man.
However, Mo Junjiu made a fuss about it. Even though sometimes Shi Qingxue could be used to threaten Mo Junyang, it was just a threat. Nobody knew what Mo Junyang’s bottom line was.
More importantly, they couldn’t have a try easily. If there was something wrong with Shi Qingxue…
Thinking about the Shi family’s reaction and recalling Mo Junyang’s methods, Cao Qicai believed that he could prepare for his own funeral now.
“Your Highness, in the emergency, it’s improper to do something unnecessary. Let’s just leave the Cold Palace first,” Cao Qicai advised patiently, hoping to bring Mo Junjiu back to earth.
However, Mo Junjiu thought about nothing but the scene that he defeated Mo Junyang, and he became dizzy with “success”.
He didn’t consider the gain and loss, so how would he listen to Cao Qicai’s advice?
Mo Junjiu impatiently shook off Cao Qicai’s hand and rebuked him coldly, “It’s none of your business. Just stay aside and watch Shi Qingxue for me.”
Afterward, he didn’t care when Shi Qingxue was shaky and almost went into a coma. He just left her to Cao Qicai and confronted Mo Junyang.
He yelled haughtily again, “Kneel down now. If you don’t kneel down, I won’t ensure your woman’s safety.”
Mo Junyang showed a gloomy expression and stared ahead.
He wasn’t looking at Mo Junjiu but his eyes passed over Mo Junjiu and fell on Shi Qingxue who was unconscious.
He furrowed his brows tightly, and his cold face was full of killing intent.
Shi Qingxue felt a serious headache and her mind was crowded with many familiar and strange memories seemingly, which were mixed with her former memories.
She wanted to sort them out, but they became messier. At the same time, what was happening around made her unable to calm down to put her messy thoughts in order.
Shi Qingxue raised her heavy eyelids and stared at Mo Junyang standing in the distance, with only one thought in her brain.
She couldn’t let this man suffer a grievance or insult because of her.
“No…No! Mo Jun…”
Shi Qingxue opened her mouth with difficulty, and the feeble voice came from her vibrative throat, but nobody could hear it.
She wanted to move, but all her strength seemed to have been drained.
She couldn’t even raise her arm, not to mention getting rid of Cao Qicai’s grab.
At last, her eyelids fell and everything was in darkness.
Before she fainted, a cry came from her ears and brain at the same time.
“Qingxue!”
Shi Qingxue didn’t know how long she had slept. When she woke up, she was lying on a soft and comfortable queen bed, with a gorgeous and simple curtain above her head.
It looked familiar, as if she had seen it before.
“You are finally awake!” Shen Luo’s surprised and pleasant voice came into her ears.
Shi Qingxue tilted her head slightly and saw the miracle-working doctor Shen Luo standing beside the bed with a bowl of medicine in his hand. He looked joyful and relieved.
“You…” Shi Qingxue tried hard to sit up. When she was about to ask, she felt dizzy again.
Shen Luo hurriedly supported her and comforted her. “You have been in a coma for more than one day, and you are still weak. Take some medicine and have a rest first.”
