“You!” Mo Shiwen’s eyes widened in shock, “No, no! I am your father!”

Mo Linyuan appeared cold as he sneered, “I don’t have a father who covets my woman.”

If Ye Mu didn’t have the ability to resist, and if he hadn’t come here quickly, wouldn’t Mo Shiwen’s plan succeed? Scum like him was not worthy to be his father.

Mo Linyuan’s words scared Mo Shiwen, “But my plan didn’t succeed! I was just possessed by my own greed for a moment! I haven’t had a woman for a long time, so my desire took over my rationality! Who told you to put me under house arrest? You didn’t even give me a woman!”

Mo Shiwen acted as if he was the one who had received an injustice. Mo Linyuan raised an eyebrow and stared at him.

“Let’s settle the matter like this; I will tell everyone that you have an acute illness. You can’t get out of bed due to the illness. I’ve invited numerous doctors to the imperial palace to cure you, but none of them was able to cure you. Finally, the illness took your life today afternoon. What do you think?”

Mo Linyuan laughed, “Anyways, your body was already weak in the past five years. It’s better for you to leave this world early.”

Mo Shiwen trembled in fear when he felt the murderous intent from Mo Linyuan’s words. He quickly abandoned all his dignity and kowtowed, “P-please, you cannot do this! I am your father! Your mother really loved me. You cannot do this!”

Everyone loved people who are good looking. In the past, Mo Shiwen was a handsome youth. Mo Shiwen’s royal mother was a proper lady who had fallen in love with him at first sight. However, she was still young at that time and she didn’t know that some people were rotten beneath their beautiful exterior.

“Did you love her then?”

“O-of course I did!”

Mo Linyuan smiled, “If that’s the case, then you should go down to accompany her.”

After he finished speaking, he raised his sword and swung it down fiercely. Blood immediately splattered everywhere as Mo Shiwen’s head rolled on the ground. Everyone had a terrified expression on their face as they watched Mo Shiwen die!

“Oh!”

Mo Die let out a stifled scream under the gag! She looked at Mo Linyuan in disbelief. In this era, people believed strongly in ghosts and spirits. She never thought that Mo Linyuan would actually make a move to kill their father!

He actually dared to kill his biological father!

Her scream alarmed Mo Linyuan. Mo Linyuan’s face was stained with blood as he turned to look at Mo Die. His eyes were filled with killing intent. Mo Die felt that her three spiritual souls had gone into her seven mortal souls!

T/N: Three spiritual souls and seven mortal souls – contrasts the spiritual and carnal side of a person in Daoism. (Please don’t ask me what that means… T.T I have no idea.) I’m assuming that her soul dispersed because of how terrified she is?

She struggled through the ropes binding her as she cried for help from the people around her. There were a dozen or so men in the secret room, but none of them even glanced at her. Mo Linyuan walked towards her with a sword. He was slowly getting closer and closer.

Mo Die finally stopped pleading and hoping that someone was willing to help her. She looked at Mo Linyuan pitifully. She finally remembered all of Mo Linyuan’s good points at this final moment. She would’ve died a long time ago if it wasn’t for Mo Linyuan. Even though Mo Linyuan didn’t restore her princess identity, he had protected her from the Empress Dowager and everyone else who wanted to harm him. It was a momentary slip in her mind that caused her to walk down the wrong path.

Originally, all the evil deeds were committed by Mo Shiwen. Even though Mo Shiwen would’ve been angry, he wouldn’t have killed her if she had stepped out sooner and told him everything. But now it was too late for her to explain anything.

Mo Linyuan personally reached out and took the gag from her mouth when he saw Mo Die burst into tears.

“You look like you’re afraid.”

“Sob, sob, sob. R-royal brother, I was forced to do it. I wanted to tell you everything originally! It’s the truth!”

“Is that right?” Mo Linyuan looked down at the tied-up Mo Die. His expression was bone-chillingly ice-cold as he stared at her.

“But why do I feel that you really want to replace me as the emperor?”
