Chapter 1544: A Pledge

*Crash.* A flawless tea set was abruptly swept to the floor and shattered into broken pieces.

“Your Second Highness.” Someone who looked like a shopkeeper stood with fear and trepidation in front of the Second Highness Mo Lu. He spoke with the voice of a mosquito, “The properties in our name have either been forcibly destroyed or stripped away by a mysterious power. At present, we have not had money coming in each day. If this continues, this humble one fears that it will be less than half a month before we completely… cannot make ends meet.”

“How abominable!” Mo Lu smacked the table and shouted, “If I find out who the one making these moves behind the scenes is, I absolutely will not let him off.”

“Oh? You truly do not know who is targeting you?” A frigid voice promptly floated in from outside the window.

Mo Lu’s entire body turned stiff.

This voice, which was like a nightmare, was something he naturally could not forget.

Mo Lu immediately shifted his expression of terror into that of a smile as he went out to welcome, “Mo Lu was unaware that Your Highness the Crown Prince was going to honor my abode with your presence. Excuse me for not coming out to meet you.”

Crown Prince Mo stepped into his study with a smile before he cast a glance at that shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately knew his place and retreated backwards with a bow. “Your Highness the Crown Prince, the second prince, this humble one will be taking his leave first.”

The Second Highness could only feel his back drenched in cold sweat. He was simply not in the mood to pay attention to the words of a shopkeeper.

After the second prince randomly nodded his head, the shopkeeper also shivered from the chill and hastened out the door. It was only then that he released a sigh of relief, as if he had escaped from the gates of hell.

“Hand it over to Second Royal Brother for his review,” the crown prince spoke coldly.

Huifeng quickly went up and unscrolled a pledge in front of His Second Highness Mo Lu.

Mo Lu shook uncontrollably from anger when he read it. “Crown Prince, what is the meaning of this?”

“Second Royal Brother does not even comprehend this?”

It was clearly written out on this pledge that Mo Lu could not covet the right of succession to the Northern Mo royal throne in this lifetime. He had to live with being an idle prince.

“I am thinking of Royal Brother by doing this.” Mo Lian stated indifferently, “Rather than letting you have unrealistic aspirations like Eldest Royal Brother, this crown prince might as well completely sever these aspirations for you and grant you a lifetime of peace.”

“You!!” Mo Lu’s face contorted before giving an awkward chortle. “The crown prince must be joking. Mo Lu has never had such disrespectful notions. Northern Mo naturally only has one His Highness the Crown Prince, which is you…”

Yet Mo Lian cast him an icy look. “The person who made a deal with the Raksha Ghost Sect’s Sect Master to take this crown prince’s life, was actually you right.”

At once, cold sweat poured down Mo Lu’s forehead like a waterfall. He indeed did not expect for the crown prince to be so frank.

“When this crown prince was stuck in Beilan City and got besieged by ten thousand zombies, Eldest Royal Brother that fool was the first to jump out, which made Royal Father erroneously believe that it was him who had done it.”

“Actually, Second Royal Brother is the one who has concealed himself the deepest.” Mo Lian analyzed with a smile, “Otherwise, you couldn’t have schemed to train that Wei whoever-Li for that long with the intention to plant her by my side. Tsk, you are so shrewd that it makes Us shiver from fear.”

“This crown prince has evidence of you buying off the Raksha Ghost Sect to assassinate Us.” The crown prince looked askance at that piece of paper with an indifferent expression. “Think about whether you want to sign this pledge.”

“If you sign it, the old scores between us will be written off.”

“If you don’t sign?” The crown prince curved his lips.
