A raging anger was brewing in the Rockstone Kingdom as a beautiful day turned out to be calm before storm.
Many people found out they were having difficulty to breath under the tense of the atmosphere. They were too afraid to cause a sound that could draw attention toward them.
All the servants were walking on the corridor and hallway like a ghost, there was no sound that louder than people breath or rustling of the leaves.
The heaven was like to sympathize with the anger of the Rockstone Kingdom Emperor, as the bright sky covered with the gloomy clouds and the sounds of thunder rumbled along with dark clouds that casted above the palace.
The wrath of the King.
The palace hall was filled with all the higher up officer who were kneeling on the ground, trembling, begging Mo Qian Yuan to calm down.
However the Emperor listened to no one.
Anger had consumed him, clouded his judgment. At this point, he had hung his advisor who had given him an idea to send Mo Jingchen to the Zodasian Kingdom in order to inquiry their aggressive move in their border.
If he didn't suggest such thing, the Emperor wouldn't have agreed with that idea and Mo Jingchen wouldn't have died a horrifying death.
Even though the advisor had repeatedly said that it was Mo Jingchen's plan, that he was the one who had asked to be sent to Zodasian. But, Mo Qian Yuan turned deaf and had him hung nonetheless.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
Yes, it was Mo Jingchen. One of the Emperor favorite son, and he was beheaded mercilessly.
Regardless of the rumor about his behavior, Mo Jingchen had proofed himself countless time that he was worth it of his father favor. He handled everything that was ordered to him brilliantly, with any method.
Mo Qian Yuan liked Mo Jingchen ruthlessness, he felt like he saw his younger self in him.
The Emperor liked how efficient he was and how capable he handled thing. Mo Qian Yuan would have never thought a simply ordered to Zodasian could cost his son's life.
He left the palace in one piece, but only his head was returned while his body was nowhere to be found. No one had idea where his body was.
His mother, the imperial concubine, was grieving and demanding head of the person who held responsibility of this. She wanted justice for her poor son.
However, the Emperor was more than just demanding a justice. He wanted a war!
This outrageous act of Zodasian Kingdom, they had to pay dearly.
"WITH THIS I DECLARE WAR!" Mo Qian Yuan roared in anger. His voice reverberated through the wall as the decree was issued.
And Rockstone's subjects should follow, regardless of what their opinion.
In the side of the hall, Mo Xuan Fei looked at Xiao Jun from the corner of his eyes, the Prince from Azura showed nothing, his expression was devoid from any emotion.
Actually he didn't need to show his sympathy as he didn't acquaintance with Mo Jingchen often, they barely knew each other, so it was only right when he saw his impassiveness.
However something told him that Xiao Jun was hiding something and the situation right now didn't look like how it was. His father declaration for war also seemed a bit off.
Xiao Jun felt someone was staring at him, however when he looked back at Mo Xuan Fei, he had averted his gaze and resumed his position, kneeling on the ground upon hearing the Emperor outburst.
This time, it was Xiao Jun turned to scrutinize him.
The more he looked, the more he realized that he should count Mo Xuan Fei into his plan, seemingly they would cross path in the near future if he kept meddling with his wife.
***
Xiao Jun had sent Qianru back to their courtyard and it have been hours since he attended the court, just enough time for Qianru to figure out his intention.
A least she would know what she would deal with in the future if she still chose to stay.
The moment Xiao Jun stepped inside their courtyard, he spotted Qianru was standing under the blossom cherry trees with hands folded in front of her chest.
Anxious was the most prominent emotion that appeared from her face right now.
Once she spotted Xiao Jun's figure was walking toward her, she had ran to him and hugged him tightly as if she didn't want to lose him, but there was hesitation in the way she expressed her feeling.
"What were you doing Jun?" Her voice was slightly trembling when she spoke. "Tell me, you didn't kill the prince." Qianru released her hug and looked at Xiao Jun right in his eyes sternly.
"Let's talk inside." Xiao Jun led Qianru toward their chamber.
These last hours Qianru's mind was in disarray. She knew how ruthless someone could have been for seizing the power. However, she didn't see Xiao Jun in that way.
He wasn't someone who would kill his opponent so brutally like that, not to mention Mo Jingchen had nothing to do with the power struggle between Xiao Jun and Xiao Zi.
How he could do something like that and instigated a war?
In some point she didn't believe her own idea, but all of this was too strange to be merely a coincidence, and the way he had talked to her before the commotion happened…
It was him. Xiao Jun was behind the murdered of Xiao Jingchen, without doubt.
"Don't you know the consequences if someone find out what you have done?" Qianru shouted at him in low voice. She didn't mean to angry to him, but she was too anxious to be calm.
She knew that Xiao Jun had something to do with the dispute at the Frozen River, but she wouldn't have thought that his plan was including the life of the royal family. The consequences would be dire.
Only thinking about the possibility of being caught made Qianru felt lightheaded.
"I asked you before to not judge me." Xiao Jun was still his usual self, calm and collected. He knew this realization had given Qianru a hard blow, but it was something that she needed to understand if she insisted to be with him through their time in Rockstone Kingdom.
"How can I not judge you?" Qianru held Xiao Jun's hand tightly. "No. no. I am not judging you…" She mumbled to herself. "But, how if someone knew about this? Don't you think about the consequences when you start, whatever you are planning?"
She was afraid for him.
"I have told you that you would never see me in the same way after this, haven't I?" Xiao Jun stared at Qianru firmly. "Qianru, if you think that you had seen enough about power struggle when we were in Azura, you are wrong. The ruthless scene that you see this morning is a common thing. People die every day, as someone who has royal blood in their veins, they will never be safe."
For some reason, the way Xiao Jun spoke was so detached and cold. It was the first time she saw this side of him.
The shock of knowing the truth overwhelmed her until she couldn't utter any words for a moment.
Xiao Jun looked at his wife ghastly pale face, his heart pricked with guilt to have introduced this dark side of him.
He wasn't a saint, he had killed numerous people directly or indirectly, most of them were assassins sent by Xiao Zi or any faction under Xiao Zi that had possibility to harm him in the future, it was unavoidable.
Xiao Jun killed them in silence or killed to silence them.
Qianru never knew about this and initially he wanted to keep her that way. But the woman insisted to be with him.
However that wasn't the real reason why finally Xiao Jun let her knew about this. Because, if anything should happen to him, she would be the first person in danger and with Xiao Tianyao was out of his reach, he was afraid Qianru wouldn't have someone to rely on.
Therefore, he wanted her to be strong for her own sake, she needed to know how they play this political and power seizing game in this realm.
Qianru had lived in the palace long enough, but she had not seen enough to understand what they would face.
She was protected under his wing, but there were more for her to know and learn. If she wanted to be his equal and be with him like what she always said, then it was only a beginning.
Xiao Jun let Qianru discerned the shocking truth, and when she was slightly better. "I will let you reconsider your choice to stay with me here and facing the predicament situation that might happen or leave." He cradled her small face in his warm palms. "Your choice."
In the end, Xiao Jun still let her to decide what she wanted. She was the last person that he wanted to be in danger, not only because they had known each other for long time, but because she was his wife.
No matter what the reason behind their marriage, she was his wife now, his friend, someone who knew him better than anyone else.
With that, Xiao Jun strolled out of the room, leaving Qianru with her own thought to think about what decision that she would take and whatever it was he would agree regardless.
It was her own very life that was at stake and Xiao Jun had asked more from her, he couldn't ask for this too.
