Wei Zichao's mind was indeed not very bright, but he was right about one thing. Mo Junyang made such a fuss, plus what he said to Zhao Ming in the prison.
The news that Mo Junyang was interested in Shi Qingxue spread like wildfire, without telling the world, everyone who should know knew it.
The first person to call Mo Junyang for questioning turned out to be Mo Xiangbin.
Emperor Da Mo brought Mo Junyang to the study room, and the first question he asked was not about Zhao Ming's rebellion, but only: "Do you want to marry that girl from the Shi family?"
Mo Junyang's eyes were firm and he smiled lightly: "Return to the Emperor, not because I want to, but because I want to."
Mo Xiangbin didn't get angry when he uttered arrogant words in front of the emperor, but just looked at Mo Junyang deeply.
After a while, the emperor smiled and said with bright eyes, "Yang'er, I know your ability, but this is the first time I have seen you so obsessed with one thing. Is Shi Liu Niang really so charming? Or... she has other agendas. ?”
The old fox always thinks more, and Mo Xiangbin obviously doesn't believe that Mo Junyang threw Shi Baojin into the rebellion camp just to vent his anger on Shi Qingxue.
Mo Junyang did not explain, but smiled casually and asked, "What do you think the emperor thinks?"
In the entire Mo Kingdom, not even the most favored fourth prince, Mo Junhao, dared to be so presumptuous in front of Mo Xiangbin, but Mo Junyang was as casual as if the person in front of him was not the king of a country with the power of life and death.
What's even more amazing is that Mo Xiangbin wasn't angry at all. There was even approval in his eyes and he laughed: "Okay, okay! You are indeed my Yang'er. If my sons are as capable as you, they still need Have you worked hard for my position?"
Speaking of this, the old emperor looked quite melancholy.
Being able to succeed the late emperor as the king of Mo Country, Mo Xiangbin is not just a free man. Even though he is indeed partial to Mo Junhao in his heart, he also hopes that his successor will be a truly talented person - only if the country is in the hands of such a person can it be passed down to future generations - it is a pity that his three sons who are currently fighting the most fiercely are in various aspects. Taken together, they are evenly matched, so it’s really hard to choose!
Mo Junyang seemed not to have heard the profound meaning in Mo Xiangbin's words, and answered calmly: "Mo Country is the Emperor's Mo Country. You can pass it on to whomever you like. No one dares to object."
Mo Xiangbin felt refreshed at Mo Junyang's 'boasting' words and nodded with satisfaction, "Yang'er has won my heart!"
If Mo Xiangbin knew that in his previous life, Mo Junyang had eradicated all those who had objections to him and ascended to the throne of God, His Majesty the Emperor would probably not have such thoughts anymore.
Mo Junyang seemed to have no intention of dealing with Mo Xiangbin, and said directly: "If the emperor has no other instructions, I will leave first."
"Wait a minute."
Mo Xiangbin stood up and called out to Mo Junyang. He took two steps forward, stared at Mo Junyang, and suddenly asked: "I accepted your love for Zhao Ming. At that time, the sixth lady of the family..."
"No need." Mo Junyang interrupted Mo Xiangbin without thinking.
He said calmly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's just that I have my own plans and I don't dare to bother you anymore."
When Mo Xiangbin heard this, he was directly 'confirmed' that the other party did not really want to marry Shi Qingxue. He waved his hands with relief and said, "Forget it, I am old. You can handle the affairs of the younger generation on your own!"
Mo Junyang didn't comment and left directly back to Prince Rui's Mansion.
To his surprise, King Rui Mo Xiangrui, who had always cared about mountains and rivers without caring about worldly affairs, returned to the house and was sitting on the throne with a solemn expression on his face, as if waiting for him to ask questions.
Mo Junyang frowned slightly, took a step forward, and said hello: "My child has met my father."
Mo Xiangrui looked at Mo Junyang with burning eyes, and after a while he said seriously: "There is news from the palace that you intend to marry the Duke of Shiguo?"
"The news about my father came so fast." Mo Junyang originally intended to spread the word, but Mo Xiangrui learned the news faster than he expected.
Mo Xiangrui didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "There are people from me in the Ministry of Punishment."
"Tsk."
Mo Junyang knew that no matter how docile a fox looked on the outside, one day it would eventually show its tail. No matter how harmless Mo Xiangrui behaved, he was not a defenseless little sheep.
If Shi Qingxue heard this, she would definitely complain silently: Shameless, I don’t know who is the person who likes to pretend to be a little sheep the most.
"Father, you are good at what you do." Mo Junyang praised him without hesitation.
Mo Xiangrui glared at him displeasedly, "Tell me the truth, what do you think? I remember that you said earlier that you had no intention of becoming emperor. If you regret it now, I can help you, but Shi Junhe This person is too loyal to the emperor, so I’m afraid it’s not easy to win over, you..."
If these words are heard by the enemy, any one sentence is enough to destroy the entire Prince Rui's palace, but on the other hand, it can also be seen that Prince Rui really cares about his son.
Mo Junyang was not as casual as he was when facing Mo Xiangbin, and his tone of reply was more respectful, "Father, I have never regretted it. Now I am very satisfied with my life in Prince Rui's Mansion, and I don't want to ask for it at the same time." It means marriage between the Duke and the Duke."
"But why are you rumored to be in love with Shi Liuniang and go to all the trouble to vent your anger for her?" Mo Xiangrui stared at Mo Junyang suspiciously, and was about to suddenly realize, "Is this just a pretense?"
Mo Junyang shook his head again and said with a smile: "The rumors are true. I dragged Shi Baojin into the Zhao family's muddy waters just to vent Qingxue's anger. I will pay back anyone who bullies her a hundred times a thousand times. no."
His tone was relaxed and his eyebrows were smiling, as if he were talking about love, but it made Mo Xiangrui shiver.
Mo Xiangrui did not take what his son said as a joke at all. He was silent for a moment and said helplessly: "You are so considerate of her, but you don't want to marry her. What on earth do you want to do?"
Mo Junyang raised his eyebrows and smiled openly, "Who said I don't want to marry her?"
"But didn't you say you don't want to marry into the Shi family?" Mo Xiangrui looked surprised.
Mo Junyang shrugged indifferently, "Marriage and me marrying her are two different things."
Mo Xiangrui paused for a while, with a look of understanding on his weather-stained face, smiling and sad at the same time, "It would be great if I had such courage as you back then."
Sighing silently, Mo Xiangrui tiredly waved his hand to Mo Junyang and said slowly: "You can handle your own affairs by yourself. I won't stop you, as long as you don't risk your own life! You know that you My life does not belong to you alone..."
"My child obeys."
Mo Junyang responded with a warm voice. As for Mo Xiangrui's murmurs, he just ignored them and walked away lightly.
—
News that Mo Junyang was in love with Shi Qingxue spread among the inner circles of the upper class nobles. At the same time, the 27 members of Zhao Ming's family, except Shi Baojin, who had committed the crime of rebellion, were all burned to death in the sky prison. It happened the day after Mo Junyang visited the prison.
Everyone couldn't help but guess whether Mo Junyang killed someone to vent his anger because his secret was exposed, or whether Zhao Ming knew something he shouldn't know and was killed to silence him.
What's even more amazing is that Mo Xiangbin, who thought he would be furious because of this, ended the case hastily and had no intention of pursuing it further. At this moment, I don’t know how many people quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and I don’t know how many people broke their tea cups and gritted their teeth.
Mo Junyu's reaction was mediocre when he found out about this. Although he really wanted to see Mo Junjiu unlucky, he also knew that the current three-legged situation was the most powerful for him. If Mo Junjiu really fell, he would bear the brunt of it. People are definitely his few partisans.
So when someone quietly reported to him that Mo Junyang had produced the most powerful evidence that could bring down Mo Junjiu, he just killed the person calmly without even thinking of asking more questions.
But when facing Mo Junyang, who had the same expressionless face, he couldn't help but feel more uneasy, and he started without saying anything, "What did you say to my father? He really didn't pursue this matter anymore." ”
Mo Junyang didn't seem to notice the embarrassment hidden in Mo Junyu's voice at all, and only said: "I didn't say anything, but... he is the emperor after all."
Mo Junyu was shocked when he heard this.
"If you don't make any move this time, he will accept your love." Mo Junyang added slowly.
Mo Junyu smiled bitterly, "Are you grateful? It doesn't matter, everyone is just a show, let's wait and see!
By the way, didn't you always hide your feelings for the wife of the Shi family, for fear of scaring people away? Why aren't you afraid now? "
To be honest, Mo Junyu is probably the first to understand Mo Junyang's obsession with Shi Qingxue. Who told this great god to come to him and the first thing he said was: I will help you, Shi Qingxue is mine. .
It's so pitiful that he didn't even realize who Shi Qingxue was at that time - Shi Qingxue was just a baby eight years ago, and even now he still seriously doubts Mo Junyang is a pedophile.
His heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat's claws, and he looked at Mo Junyang longingly, but the latter just smiled and said nothing.
Qu Yuebai, on the other hand, smiled leisurely and said: "His Highness does not know something, Master, he is so confident!"
"Oh? What do you say?" Mo Junyu looked at Qu Yuebai curiously. He always had no airs about the people Mo Junyang trusted.
"Of course it's because of Shi Liuniang..." Qu Yuebai's Bagua soul was burning, and when he couldn't express his displeasure, Mo Junyang coughed lightly.
Without saying anything, he glanced over calmly.
Qu Yuebai became silent for a moment, made a sealing gesture, and cowered aside obediently.
Mo Junyu's curiosity was aroused and he muttered dissatisfiedly: "Let me go on from the beginning, if you don't do it, you are not a man!"
Someone who was not a man was forced to cry silently, but he still did not dare to say anything.
Just as a few people were making a fuss, a servant sent an invitation from the third prince: inviting Mo Junyang to a gathering at Xiangyue Tower.
After Qu Yuebai read the contents of the invitation, he clicked his tongue and said: "The two parties have just had such a big quarrel, and they are almost incompatible. The third prince is actually interested in inviting his master to Wenrou Township. What does he want to do? "
Mo Junyu took the invitation and looked at it twice, then suddenly sneered, "With the prudence of a good minister, even if you know that we will not use Zhao Ming's records to make a fuss, you still feel that it is not safe for us to leave the things here, so you want to take them back." !”
Then he looked at Mo Junyang, "Are you going?"
"Don't give up the good things you have given me in vain." Mo Junyang replied concisely and concisely.
Qu Yuebai thought about it and thought that was the case, and then said with some embarrassment: He saw Mo Junyang throw that thing into the stove with his own eyes!
Mo Junyu was anxious when he heard this, "Then how can we try to rip off Mo Junjiu?"
