“How, how beautiful it is!”
Somebody sighed with emotion first, and all people came back to earth, but the shock and admiration couldn’t be concealed on their faces.
It was at dusk and almost getting dark outside, and the door and windows around this room were covered with black heavy cloths, with no light from outside.
However, the room which was supposed to be dark as night shone with dazzling colorful light, which was gorgeous and brilliant, even covering all people at the door.
“Chirp…”
Suddenly the clear and long birdsong came from inside.
They saw a round bird cage in the middle of the room, and it was about three meters tall and two meters wide.
There was a big bird as tall as a grown-up man in the bird cage.
Its head was like a chicken’s, but it looked more exquisite and vivid than the common chicken. It had a long and sharp beak and a tall and thin neck like a swan’s. It
Mo Shujun had granted Leng Yan to be Shi Junhe’s concubine, so Leng Yan desired to please Shi Qingxue who was favored by Shi Junhe, but she wouldn’t mind making things difficult for her “rival in love” Dong Hui.Shi Qingxue knew Leng Yan’s intention and didn’t bother to think about how to convince Mo Shujun to agree that she and Dong Hui wouldn’t attend the party in the imperial palace. Mo Shujun perhaps hoped that Dong Hui would lose the baby in her womb and wouldn’t consider so much. Shi Qingxue had to sigh helplessly and agree.“In this case, please tell Grandma that my sister and I will attend it in time, Leng Yan. My mother is not feeling well and it’s better for her to stay at home to rest and keep the baby safe.”Leng Yan was surprised. As far as she knew, the sixth lady of the Shi family was a spoiled girl and always stood upon her pantoffles. Others listened to her all the time, and she had never made herself suffer. So Leng Yan didn’t
Shi Qingxue was extremely astonished and almost stared at Mo Junwen blankly for a long time before she came to her senses.But she had complicated feelings and was restless.Logically, they barely had connections in the past, and Mo Junwen had no reason to consider so much for her. Would he do it because he felt pity for her?Of course Shi Qingxue wouldn’t believe such a ridiculous reason. But Mo Junwen was calm from the beginning, so she couldn’t doubt that he did that just to please her.It was unnecessary and impossible.Then…Before Shi Qingxue figured it out, Shen Luo was brought by somebody in a hurry. Behind him were the emperor Mo Xiangbin and the royal family members as well as noblemen, who were supposed to be at the party.Mo Junyu’s face darkened, and he glared at Mo Junjiu.Mo Junjiu didn’t deny it but shrugged and told the crown prince directly that he had informed t
Shen Luo didn’t beat around the bush but said, “Everything I need to treat the patient is in King Rui’s mansion. If you want me to take good care of the colorful phenix, you need to send it to King Rui’s mansion.”“Uh…” Mo Xiangbin was in a predicament.He finally got this holy bird, but he had kept it for just a short time and hadn’t seen it for several times. Now he must send it away.He felt uncomfortable when it was out of his control.Mo Junjiu was nervous to see that and questioned at once, “The colorful phenix is the holy bird. How can you take it away as you like? If there is something wrong, can you take the responsibility?”Mo Xiangbin thought Mo Junjiu was aggressive but didn’t stop him. He just asked, “Doctor Shen, don’t you have another way?”Shen Luo lowered his head and answered impassively, “I am just a doctor and don’t know anything about the geomantic omen or the Eight Diagrams. I can do
Mo You didn’t expect that Mo Junyu and Mo Junyang had different opinions, but under the situation, he didn’t have time to hesitate, so he had to take a chance. He gritted his teeth. “We should have a try. You and His Excellency are on the same side, and everybody knows that he is your follower. If you fail, can he live a good life?”It was out of the question if Mo Junyang wanted to follow somebody else.He had a label as the crown prince’s follower. Even though he was capable, other factions wouldn’t trust him.While thinking, Mo Junyu felt relieved and nodded. “You, please have a talk with him. I wasn’t thoughtful and made him suffer this time. Ask him to figure out a solution for me. I will express my thanks someday.”He surrendered. Any other subordinate would exhaust his energy to do everything for his master if he was treated in this way by his master, but when it was Mo Junyang, Mo Junyu felt depressed and worried, with no c
Mo Junjiu was unwilling as Mo Xiangbin vented on him for no reason. He looked terrified, saying, “I am willing to share your worries, Father.”“Share my worries?” Mo Xiangbin snorted and glanced over the crowd coldly before asking slowly, “Now the colorful phenix has died. If the other three countries know it, do you think they will let it go at that?”“As long as we can find the one who poisoned the colorful phenix to take the blame, the other three countries can’t cause you trouble.” Mo Junjiu spoke with certainty, as if he had found the murderer.Mo Xiangbin raised his brows. “Oh? So do you know who the murderer is?”Mo Junjiu’s face stiffened, and he couldn’t say a word.How could he point anybody out as the murderer? He just wanted to find a scapegoat randomly and shift Mo Xiangbin’s attention.Unexpectedly, Mo Xiangbin really asked Mo Junjiu to tell him who the murderer was.“I don’t kno
Mo Xiangbin talked with Mo Junyu in the Moral Hall for nearly two hours, and nobody knew what they were talking about, but as the servants guarding outside revealed in secret, the crown prince Mo Junyu had tears in his eyes when he left, and he covered his face with a hand. Then he returned to the Qianzheng Palace and didn’t come out again.The crown prince was still under house arrest.All people were more confused. What did the emperor want to do?Even Mo You who could enter the Qianzheng Palace freely couldn’t see Mo Junyu.Mo You had no choice but to go to King Rui’s mansion and ask Mo Junyang for help.He repeated what Mo Junyu had said and then expressed with a frown, “His Highness admitted that he was too impulsive this time, but it has happened. Please help him because we are on the same side, Your Excellency.”Mo Junyang snorted and then stated impassively, “I have warned him not to become the tar
Mo Xiangbin was stunned and didn’t understand what the next things meant as Yelü Anchen mentioned.Yelü Anchen looked calm and didn’t seem to come to find fault with him.Of course this time Yelü Anchen didn’t come to find fault with Mo Xiangbin.The evidence against the Mo Country had fallen into his hands, and he came to blackmail.“The Zhao Country and Wei Country still haven’t known that the colorful phenix has died. It’s not difficult to keep it a secret. It only depends on what Your Majesty will do.” Yelü Anchen said meaningfully.This opening speech like negotiation was not fit for Yelü Anchen who was hot-tempered and straightforward, and Mo Xiangbin knew it was not his idea at a glance.But Mo Xiangbin was not in the mood to think about who was behind Yelü Anchen.He was nervous under the threat and blurted out, “What do you want?”As soon as he spoke, Mo Xiangbin regrette
At a glance, Wu Yalei knew that something bad would happen, so he rebuked loudly in a hurry, “How dare you!”Mo Junyang raised his brows and lowered his head, glancing at Wu Yalei impassively.Wu Yalei was frustrated in an instant.But he still gritted his teeth and insisted, “Your Excellency, in the final analysis, you are just a king’s heir. But you don’t salute our prince after seeing him. Instead, you totally ignored him. Is this the etiquette in your country?”“Of course not,”Mo Junyang retorted indifferently.Without giving Wu Yalei a chance to continue to blabber, Mo Junyang added, “This is my etiquette. What? Do you have objections?”Wu Yalei and Yelü Anchen were petrified.No matter how they thought about it, they didn’t expect that Mo Junyang would have such an attitude.He was so cold and overbearing.For the first time, they saw that somebody
