uldn't bring himself to say them no matter what. He didn't want to admit it, nor was he willing to admit that An Xue Tang had met with such a fate.Last night, he ventured into the woods alone. Later,...After Fourteenth finished speaking, regardless of what Zhou Zhiyao might think, he got up and walked towards the door.

Now that he could walk freely on Mo Yunze's territory, he naturally wanted to take a good look at the hidden secrets of this Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Zhou Zhiyao always felt that Zhao Li was a little off today, but he couldn't tell where. In the end, he could only quietly follow behind 'Zhao Li'.

……

Mo Junyi, who was in Beijiang, was being watched by Liu Cheng at this moment. Mo Yunchen also came to watch. Previously, Mo Junyi did not allow him to observe or send people to keep an eye on him, but after what happened that night, he couldn't say no.

So he not only had Liu Cheng keep an eye on Mo Junyi, but also took the time himself to look in on him. Moreover, when Mo Junyi said he wanted arsenic, he had already sent people to purchase quite a lot of it.

Arsenic is highly poisonous, and he would never allow Mo Junyi to use it alone. He wouldn't even keep arsenic near him, as he was afraid that Mo Junyi might do something desperate to escape the Beijang camp.

I didn't expect him and Liu Cheng to personally keep an eye on Mo Junyi for two days, but who knew that Mo Junyi still couldn't come up with anything. He had already succeeded the previous day!

In Mo Yunchen's view, Mo Junyi's so-called failure was simply because he was unwilling, rather than truly not knowing the recipe.

After a failed experiment, Mo Yunchen finally couldn't hold back. He turned around angrily, without a word, and raised his hand to slap Mo Junyi hard.

Lei Hong and Liu Chengdu on the side jumped in fright. Lei Hong even wanted to rush up and protect Mo Junyi, but Liu Cheng promptly held him back, signaling him not to act rashly.

Liu Cheng knew in his heart that Mo Yunchen had a fire burning inside him. Mo Junshi had been unable to make the research breakthrough, and he was becoming increasingly frustrated. If they didn't let him vent his anger now, he might do something even more hurtful.

After being slapped, Mo Junyi's lips bled slightly, but his expression showed no fear. Facing Mo Yunchen's fury, he lowered his head without saying a word.

"Mo Jun Yi, how much longer do you intend to play tricks"

Mo Yunchen gritted his teeth and pressed, If it weren't for that alluring thing, he would have really wanted to slap Mo Junshi to death.

While facing Mo Yunchen's overwhelming anger, Mo Junyi remained unaffected. He appeared quite calm and continued to use his rhetoric to explain, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The son never intended to play any tricks. There were already half-finished products made by Fifth Aunt in the package earlier. The son is incompetent and truly unable to develop them within such a short time."

The same words, uttered by Mo Junyi, didn't bore him. Mo Yunchen even felt like he was getting tired of hearing them. At this point, he couldn't believe that Mo Junyi truly didn't know the formula.

He had said everything he shouldn't have, every harsh word imaginable. Yet, there was nothing he could do about Mo Junyi.

After enduring his anger, he suddenly shouted towards the outside, "Bring the prince here, and beat him fifty lashes!"

As soon as Mo Yunchen's words fell, several soldiers rushed in. They walked straight to Mo Junyi, although Mo Junyi's status as a prince was something they couldn't defy, they ultimately only obeyed Mo Yunchen.

Even after being controlled by two soldiers, Mo Junyi did not resist, nor did he utter a plea for mercy.

Looking at him like this, Mo Yunchen's anger flared even hotter. His sharp eyes locked onto Mo Junshi, gritting his teeth and saying, "You still refuse to say"

Mo Junyi's face was expressionless. "Your son truly doesn't know."

"Good! Good for you not knowing!"

Mo Yunchen clenched his fists tightly, afraid that if he lost control, he would strike him down. "Mo Jinyi, after spending so many years by your Fifth Uncle's side, you've learned his temperament so well. Father truly underestimated you!"

As for his words, Mo Junyi did not respond. Right now, no matter what he did or said, as long as he didn't hand over the bomb formula, it would be useless to his father.

So he didn't need to explain further.

Mo Yunchen saw that he was determined not to speak, and could only sneer coldly, "After you've finished beating these fifty boards, if you still don't let it out, then you'll kneel outside for me until you figure it out and are willing to speak. Then you can get up."

Having said that, he gave no one a chance to plead. He waved his hand at the two soldiers and said, "Take the prince away. Fifty taels of silver; if anyone dares to let him go, they will be responsible for the consequences."

Two soldiers' hearts tightened, and they repeatedly replied, "Yes," before leading Mo Junyi away.

Mo Yunchen did not stay here either. He glanced at Liu Cheng and said coldly, "As for the arsenic, you should keep it well. Don't let him have a chance to do anything."

Liu Cheng bowed, “Yes.”

Once Mo Yunchen finally left, Lei Hong only then stepped out from behind Liu Cheng and said angrily, “Doctor Liu, why did you just watch me If Your Highness had to endure fifty lashes like that, he would have lost half his life.”

Liu Cheng gave him a speechless look. “So what Do you think that standing up and saying a few words can stop the prince’s orders Or do you think that old man speaking a few words for the crown prince can change the outcome”

"... " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lei Hong choked, speechless for a moment. Indeed, even if he had spoken up just now, it wouldn't have changed anything. As long as the Crown Prince didn't hand over what Mo Yunchen wanted, this beating was inevitable.

I really don't know how this Mo Yunchen became a father. He can be so cruel to his own son.

Liu Cheng sighed helplessly and then said, "Lei Hong, do you know what kind of consequences you might face after acting impulsively"

"!"

Leihong didn't understand at first, and he blinked blankly, "Doctor Liu, what do you want to tell me I... my brain isn't very bright. Could you just say it straight"

"!!"

Lei Hong couldn't help but shiver, he suspected Dr. Liu was scaring him, but he had no evidence.

Liu Cheng didn't want to waste time explaining too much to him either. At this moment, he tapped his head again with force:

“The prince is furious with the crown prince. He wants to force him to hand over the formula, but the crown prince won't budge. The prince has no way to get to him. You foolish boy, if you go near him at this critical juncture, and catch the prince's attention, do you think he will use your life to threaten the crown prince”

“…”

Even if Lei Hong were a fool, Dr. Liu had made his point clear. He naturally understood now why Dr. Liu had hidden him away just before.

But right now, whether he lives or dies are small matters. What about the young master If he endures those fifty lashes, won't the young master lose half his life

Thinking of this, Lei Hong couldn't care about anything else and was about to rush out. But Liu Cheng seemed to have thought of something, he suddenly grabbed Lei Hong's hand and whispered a few words in his ear. their power would be so astonishing.Lin Qingwen came to his senses and knelt before Mo Junyi and An Xuetang, "The commoner greets the Princess of Beijiang, and the Prince."He claimed to be an ordinar...
