Chapter 1192: Is there such a relationship?
" "Attend to the young masterListening to Yun Si's report, An Xue Tang's lips curled into a sneer. This result was exactly what she expected, so she wasn't flustered at all.
After a moment of silence, An Xuetang let out a cold laugh, "It's fine. You find a way to lure Mo Yunze's private soldiers to one place, and today we'll make sure they have no return."
Yun Si guessed what their princess was trying to do, so he nodded at this moment. "I understand."
He immediately walked ahead, clearing the way for An Xue Tang.
Besides commoners, there were also private soldiers of Mo Yunze at the gate of the Prince's Mansion. At this moment, Mo Yunze had also arrived with his men at the gate of the Northern Border Prince's Mansion.
The place, which had always been empty, was suddenly filled with people. Mo Yunze held the emperor's edict in his hand and stared at the servant guarding the door, "Go and call your madam to receive the edict."
Those few gatekeepers remained impassive, as if they hadn't heard him, and none of them paid him any attention.
Mo Yunze's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately struck the closest one.
Now the people guarding at the North Frontier Prince's Mansion are not ordinary servants. These individuals possess high martial arts skills, with two of them being masters from Xuntang Valley.
So when Mo Yunze made his move, they immediately retaliated, with such force that it almost injured him.
Mo Yunze, taking a few steps back, changed color slightly. His men immediately rushed forward, tightly shielding him behind them.
Mo Yunze clenched his fists, gritting his teeth and saying, "It seems that Mo Yunjing made a lot of arrangements before leaving!"
His words went unanswered. Just then, the gate of Beijiang Wangfu creaked open, and An Xuetang's figure appeared within everyone's sight.
All eyes were on her. Mo Yunze narrowed his eyes, seeming as if he hadn't seen An Xuetang in a while. For some reason, she seemed more feminine and alluring than ever before.
Staring at An Xuetang, Mo Yunze's eyes became lustful and predatory. His gaze was not concealed in the slightest, so not only could An Xuetang see it, but everyone around her could as well.
Although Ning'er appears cold and indifferent, as if nothing matters to her, she cares deeply about An Xuetang. Now seeing the look in Mo Yunze's eyes, a killing intent emanates from her body. She has unknowingly drawn a hidden weapon, ready to teach Mo Yunze a lesson.
But An Xuetang noticed Ning'er's actions, reaching out to grab her arm and lowering her voice, "There are too many people here today. If you want to teach him a lesson, there will be plenty of opportunities later, no need to rush this moment."
Ning'er nodded slightly, silently retracting the hidden weapon in her hand. She agreed with what their princess had said, there were countless eyes watching them right now, eager to find even the slightest mistake.
At this juncture, it's indeed not advisable to intervene.
Having soothed Ning'er, An Xue Tang then turned to Mo Yunze, looking at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "Your Highness," she said, "with the way you are looking at this concubine, anyone who doesn't know might think that Your Highness has mistaken her for the woman you deeply love."
"…"
An Xuetang's words successfully drew the attention of the commoners to Mo Yunze's face.
However, Mo Yunze's despicable gaze instantly disappeared, and the people couldn't see anything.
"Only listening to Mo Yunze let out a chuckle, "Little sister, you're so cute to joke around. However, fourth brother doesn't have time to chat with little sister today, after all, fourth brother is here with an imperial decree."
"As they spoke, his eyes glanced at the group of Imperial Guards, then a smiling gaze fell on An Xuetang. "Sister-in-law probably guessed why Big Brother brought Father's Imperial Guards here"
"Oh… This concubine really can't guess. If it weren't for the Fourth Prince saying this was the Imperial Guard, this concubine almost thought the Fourth Prince was leading troops to rebel."
"!"
Mo Yunze's face changed, and everyone present looked at each other in astonishment.
Everyone knows that the current emperor came to power after a rebellion, so he can't stand the word "rebellion". Back then, when the emperor only heard rumors that Prince Mo Yunchen wanted to rebel, he immediately had him thrown into prison.
He even wanted to kill Mo Yunchen many times.
An Xuetang today, in front of so many people, questioned Mo Yunze whether he was going to rebel. If she could produce more evidence, based on the former emperor's personality, the emperor would certainly arrest Mo Yunze without distinguishing right from wrong.
If he's arrested, a large force will definitely be dispatched to investigate. If they find that Mo Yunze has done anything wrong, such as raising private armies, bribing court officials, etc., then Mo Yunze's fate will certainly be the same as Mo Yunchen's.
Just then, Mo Yunze let out a cold, unexpected sneer, "An Xuetang, at this point, do you think you still have a chance to divert everyone's attention to me Keep in mind, the woman you killed was the esteemed Princess of Xuan Country, and she was the most beloved princess of the Emperor of Xuan Country. Your actions of disregarding peace between the two countries and deliberately provoking war, do you know the great trouble this will bring to our Tianba Country"
As expected, his few words brought everyone back to the present. No one had forgotten why they were here today.
Just as Mo Yunze finished speaking, an elderly man slowly walked a few steps towards An Xuetang from the crowd of people. He was seeing the Northern Border Princess for the first time today, but the woman before him was very different from the image he had heard about. So he also wondered if it was possible that the Northern Border Princess had killed the Xuan country princess, and if there were other hidden secrets.
This man seemed to be very influential among the common people. As he stepped forward, the chatter of the crowd ceased, and all eyes turned to the old man.
He advanced, first performing a very formal bow to An Xue Tang. Then his gaze fell upon her face, remaining quiet and unhurried as he spoke, “This old man is from the Shangyuan Li clan. Today, I mainly came to ask the North Border Princess to clarify my doubts.”
Shangyuan Li family
An Xue Tang raised an eyebrow. She wasn't from this world to begin with, and she knew nothing about their identities. Now, she had no idea who this person was.
Luckily, Ning'er by her side understood everything. After this man introduced himself, Ning'er whispered in An Xuetang's ear, explaining:
The Shangyuan Li clan is a prominent and influential family. Although none of its members hold official positions, they command great respect among the common people. Most of the scholars educated by the Li clan now serve as important ministers in various courts throughout the country.
An Xuetang understood, and immediately walked over personally, helping the old man up. "Mr., you don't need to be so polite. With your status, even my husband would show you respect. So please, don't put yourself out for me."
The old man had grown even more fond of An Xuetang's words and deeds. He even doubted that the rumors circulating among the people were likely not true.
Everyone says the Princess of Beijiang is arrogant and domineering, killing people like harvesting crops. In his opinion, it's probably all nonsense.
However, he hadn't completely let go of his previous prejudices, and still asked:
"I, an old man, have come today to seek clarification. Did the princess truly kill Princess Zhao Si of Xuan Guo If this is true, I beg the princess to explain why she did it. To be frank, Princess Zhao Si's mother was my first female student."
"...."
An Xuetang's mouth twitched, this... there was such a relationshipat" Before Mo Junyi could speak, Lei Hong's eyes widened in disbelief. "Young Master, what happened What about them Who are they"Mo Junyi shook his head. "A man and a woman. This prince doesn't know t...
