Mo Xiangbin's eyes only fell on Mo Junyu for a short while. After seeing his heart beat faster and his head breaking into a cold sweat, he moved away as if nothing had happened.
He turned to look at Ling Ruiyin and asked hoarsely, "What happened?"
Ling Ruiyin wiped her tears and said with a tearful voice: "Your Majesty, Divine Doctor Shen said you were poisoned because you ate those damn pills. The Ai family has warned you before that those things have unknown origins and cannot be eaten. If you listen If we had killed the Ai family, today’s situation wouldn’t have happened!”
Ling Ruiyin was half complaining and half feeling distressed.
It's so sincere and heartbreaking to say.
Even though Mo Xiangbin was not used to being criticized in person, he was not unhappy at all when facing Ling Ruiyin, he was only moved.
Although he was temporarily blinded by the alchemist, he was not really a fool after all.
Now he is weak all over, as if all his strength has been exhausted in advance, even worse than before he took the elixir. In addition, there is Dr. Shen - he is still very convinced of this miracle doctor recommended by Mo Junyang. -'s diagnosis, how could he not know what all this was about
Mo Xiangbin was immediately furious and shouted: "Where is Han Ling?"
After all, Ling Ruiyin was Mo Xiangbin's biological mother and knew her son's temper very well.
While patting Mo Xiangbin on the back to tell him not to be angry, she explained: "Don't worry, the Ai family has ordered people to bring Han Ling. You can do whatever you want with her."
Mo Xiangbin glanced coldly at Han Ling, who was kneeling on the ground and shaking into a sieve, and directly ordered in a cold voice: "Drag him out and kill him."
He was merciless, as if he was not killing anyone, but just asking someone to go out and cut a winter melon.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they heard Han Ling scream like a slaughtering pig: "Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! I just made a mistake, and I will definitely give you the elixir that can strengthen your body and make you immortal next time. Just give Wei Chen another chance!"
When the guard who came to pull Han Ling heard this, he did not take action and looked at Mo Xiangbin in embarrassment.
Mo Xiangbin snorted: "What? Didn't you hear my order?"
He actually wanted to kill without mercy, without any mercy.
After hearing this, the two guards didn't dare to act like one anymore. One of them held Han Ling's side and was about to drag him outside.
"Father, please wait a moment."
A crisp voice interrupted, and the guards stopped moving again, and everyone looked at the source of the sound.
It was actually the Sixth Prince Mo Junjing.
Mo Xiangbin stared at Mo Junjing coldly, and asked coldly: "What does Jing'er want to say?"
At this time, everyone around was swept away by Mo Xiangbin's anger, and they did not dare to say another word for fear of being implicated.
But Mo Junjing was not afraid of death. He did not hear the coldness in Mo Xiangbin's words, but spoke without fear: "Father, although Divine Doctor Shen said that your coma was caused by poisoning, what exactly did you get? He can't tell what kind of poison it is. If you kill Han Ling rashly before the matter is found out, I'm afraid it will attract criticism and be bad for your reputation. I sincerely ask my father... "
"What? I don't even have the power to kill anyone now?" Mo Xiangbin interrupted Mo Junjing coldly.
Mo Junjing choked and looked at Mo Xiangbin speechless.
Mo Xiangbin curled his lips coldly again: "Speaking of which, if I am not an old fool, you recommended this Han Ling to me, right?"
Mo Junjing: "..."
His original intention was just to show his face in front of his father and show his differences, but he didn't want his words to hit the horse's legs. Instead of pleasing Mo Xiangbin, he was trapped in it.
Mo Junjing was so anxious that he almost broke out in cold sweat. He waved his hands and said, "Father, you have misunderstood. I have absolutely no intention of harming you."
"Really?" Mo Xiangbin glanced at Mo Junjing with a half-smile, not sure whether he believed what he said.
Mo Junjing raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth, and continued speaking: "I just heard that my father wanted to find someone to make elixirs, and I happened to know that Han Ling was refining elixirs. I am very accomplished and recommended this person to my father, but I didn’t know that he actually wanted to harm you, my father. I really..."
"Is this what you call filial piety when you recommend someone to me without testing their abilities?" Mo Xiangbin spoke coldly again, blocking all Mo Junjing's excuses in his throat.
Mo Xiangbin had no intention of saying anything to Mo Junjing, and directly asked the guards to push Han Ling out, and then said coolly: "Even if you have no intention of harming me, you really need to temper your impetuous temper. .
I will not argue with you this time. You can go back to your palace and reflect on your past. You are not allowed to go out without my order. "
The words were shocking, no one expected that Mo Xiangbin would actually imprison Mo Junjing.
Mo Junjing also looked at Mo Xiangbin with a blank expression, as if he still hadn't understood that he was just showing good intentions, but how could he end up being trapped in the palace and not allowed to go out.
But Mo Xiangbin didn't mean to explain to him anymore. He waved his hand and had people take him away.
There was another strange silence in the dormitory. Everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. They only used the corners of their eyes to observe Mo Xiangbin's reaction from time to time.
It was Ling Ruiyin who took the initiative after a while and said: "Your Majesty, you are not feeling well now. No matter what the reason is, you should focus on the dragon body. The prince gave some suggestions just now. The Ai family thought it was good, but I don't know what your Majesty thinks. ?”
Ling Ruiyin repeated Mo Junyu's words just now, and also deliberately emphasized Mo Junyu's importance and concern for his father's body.
Mo Xiangbin was silent for a moment. In fact, he had heard Mo Junyu's voice before, and his retelling with Ling Ruiyin was not an exaggeration.
When he looked up at Mo Junyu again, his cold eyes were rarely filled with warmth, "Yu'er did really well this time, just do what Yu'er suggested!"
Mo Junyu looked up at Mo Xiangbin flattered, unable to hide the surprise and confusion in his eyes.
Since he was a child, Mo Junyu has rarely received Mo Xiangbin's gentle words, let alone such praise as today - this has always been the treatment that Mo Junhao only received - he can't believe it.
Mo Xiangbin understood Mo Junyu's expression, and as soon as his mind changed, he understood what his eldest son was thinking.
He couldn't help but reflect on whether he had really been too harsh on his eldest son in the past few years. Otherwise, why would the other party look as if he had heard something shocking just because of his casual compliment
Mo Xiangbin sighed slightly. Although he felt a little guilty, superiors were used to it. Even if he was really wrong, he would not apologize easily. He would only speak louder and confess to everyone: "The prince is thinking and frowning. I am slightly ailing." During this period, all matters relating to the size of the court will be left to the Crown Prince."
This almost means asking the prince to "supervise the country".
The ministers had different thoughts, but on the surface they all responded to Mo Xiangbin's words respectfully.
After Mo Xiangbin spoke for such a long time, he began to feel tired again. Ling Ruiyin immediately said: "Your Majesty is not well yet, so just have a good rest and leave other matters to the people below. If you feel that something is not right, send him again." People said to Aijia, Aijia will not disturb your rest."
After saying that, he stood up and left the palace.
Mo Xiangbin also waved his hand to chase them away: "Okay, you all should step aside first!"
Everyone left the palace one after another, but before the door of the palace was closed, Xiaoquanzi hurried over again and said to Mo Junyang in front of everyone: "Your Majesty, please don't leave in a hurry. Your Majesty has summoned you."
The person Mo Xiangbin rushed away not long ago didn't even arrive for a quarter of an hour and asked to summon Mo Junyang alone.
No matter what the reason was, Mo Xiangbin's high regard for Mo Junyang alone caused a lot of discussion among the people below.
Mo Junyang couldn't see it at all. He glanced at Shi Qingxue, nodded to Xiaoquanzi, and walked back to the palace.
Koizumi did not follow him in, but stayed at the door like a door god.
A minister took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and secretly stuffed Xiaoquanzi's purse. With a flattering smile on his face, he asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Quan, I wonder why the emperor summoned Prince Rui alone for what purpose? "
Koizumi first weighed the weight in his hand, then glanced at the minister, and then nodded with satisfaction in his heart.
But he still pretended to be indifferent on his face, and said in an almost business-like tone: "Your Majesty naturally has a reason for summoning you. Is it something that my servants like me can't figure out?"
He deliberately spoke loud enough for the people inside to hear. At the same time, he glanced at the person who gave him the favor, indicating that he really didn't know why Mo Xiangbin summoned Mo Junyang.
The two people in the dormitory were quiet for a while. When everything calmed down outside, they were still facing each other.
Everyone seemed to be shouting to see who would speak first.
In the end, Mo Xiangbin naturally didn't hold back and said with a stern expression: "This time... I didn't think carefully, so they took advantage of me!"
For the first time, Mo Xiangbin admitted his mistake first, even though it was only in front of Mo Junyang, and from his words, it was obvious that he was passing the mistake on to others, and he was the one who was deceived.
But even so, it is not easy for Mo Xiangbin, the Nine-Five Supreme Lord, to be able to speak to this extent.
However, Mo Junyang raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and said nothing.
I don't even have the slightest intention of buying into it.
"You..." Mo Xiangbin shouted in embarrassment, but when he touched Mo Junyang's condensed eyes, he stopped his voice angrily.
In the end, it is a lack of confidence.
After a long while, he finally sighed and said half self-deprecatingly, half jokingly: "Of all the people, you are probably the only one who dares to talk to me with such an attitude."
In fact, Mo Xiangbin also knew in his heart that the reason why Mo Junyang behaved like this just showed that the other party had nothing to ask for and was not afraid of him.
Everyone else is either afraid of him because of his status as emperor, or wants to curry favor with him in exchange for benefits, but what about Mo Junyang! This child already knew his life experience, so there was no need to worry about what he would do to him; compared to other princes, Mo Junyang was so self-aware that he had no intention of competing for the throne.
However, it is precisely because of this that Mo Xiangbin feels most at ease with Mo Junyang. Although he does not trust 100%, when something really happens and he can't solve it, or he wants to find someone to talk to - the emperor also needs it. When venting, the first thing he thought of was Mo Junyang.
He sighed helplessly, "You kid! You are just too calm. You are obviously the prince's staff and have helped him do so many things, but you always give people the feeling of staying out of it. Even I can't figure it out. You, what do you think the prince would think?"
Mo Junyang frowned slightly and looked at Mo Xiangbin without saying anything.
Mo Xiangbin spoke, not minding whether Mo Junyang answered or not, and continued talking to himself, "I am really old, and I feel more and more powerless recently. Sooner or later, my throne will have to be passed on to me. Yes. But after a hundred years, who should this position be passed on to?"
