Chapter 1223: Unease

mewhat innocent expression, "Ninger, you really want me to eat this"Ning'er nodded slightly, "Well, this is really good for your body. You must eat it."Ning'er even said the two words 'must', and Yunl...Lowering her head in thought for a moment, An Xue Tang finally spoke, "The mastermind behind this, I think I know who it is. But that person is now in Beijiang, right by Mo Yunchen's side."

"That person is Mo Yunchen's"

The little flower was a bit stunned. Logically, it shouldn't be someone from Mo Yunchen's side.

She could feel that the person beside the emperor had great power. If Mo Yunchen had such power, he wouldn't have been imprisoned by the emperor and suffered for so many years.

An Xuetang knew what Huaduoer was thinking, she shook her head slightly, "That person is not as obedient to Mo Yunchen as you think, rather, it is Mo Yunchen who listens to him."

"A-Tang, what on earth is going on"

"That man is the Emperor's brother, former Prince Yunrui of the previous dynasty."

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

The little flower felt a pang of sympathy in her heart. She hadn't expected him to be a prince from the previous dynasty.

After a moment of silence, she frowned and said, "Then how could he be with Mo Yunchen If he was a prince from the previous dynasty, then he should want to kill Mo Yunchen. Perhaps no one in this world hates the royal family of Tianya Kingdom more than him."

Even if Mo Yunchen is not favored by the Emperor of Tianba, he still carries the bloodline of the Tianba Emperors. How could a former prince choose to cooperate with him

"If you knew that Mo Yunchen calls this Yun Rui his father, wouldn't you be even more shocked"

"!!!"

As expected, when Hua Duoer heard An Xue Tang's words, she immediately widened her eyes in surprise.

This is absolutely mind-blowing.

After a moment's pause, Hua Duo came back to her senses and pursed her lips, "So...the previous empress and Yun Rui..."

The former Empress was also Mo Yun Jing's mother, An Xue Tang didn't want others to speculate about her, so she shook her head and interrupted Hua Duo:

While we can't know for sure about the specifics of the previous empress's love story, it's likely that Mo Yunchen isn't the son of Yun Rui. Don't be fooled by how old and seemingly foolish the current emperor looks now; back in his younger days, he was anything but stupid. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to so easily usurp the throne.

"So back then, if the Empress Dowager had conceived a child with someone else and still interacted with Emperor Gou, he couldn't have been unaware, nor could he have favored Mo Yunchen to that extent."

To know how important the position of crown prince is, but back when Mo Yunchen was born not long ago, the emperor favored the former empress and Mo Yunchen, disregarding the opposition of the courtiers, established the still young Mo Yunchen as the crown prince.

This alone is enough to show that the Dog Emperor once favored his son, Mo Yunchen.

But this also shows that the Dog Emperor never doubted whether Mo Yunchen was his blood.

Thinking from a different angle, the Empress gave birth to Mo Yunchen at full term and on a full day, otherwise, with the emperor's suspicious nature, he wouldn't be so sure that Mo Yunchen was his son.

Listening to An Xuetang's analysis, Huaduo nodded in agreement. She highly agreed with An Xuetang's statement.

If so, why would Mok Yunchen call Yun Rui "Father King"

What exactly is going wrong

An Xuetang sighed, "Yun Rui's foresight is incredibly powerful. He likely laid out a grand strategy long ago. He deceived Mo Yunchen, and in this game, our North Frontier King was forced to become their pawn, helping them seize control of the North Frontier."

"Didn't Mo Yunchen realize he was being deceived"

An Xuetang chuckled, "That's why I said Mo Yunchen is a fool. I wonder what Yun Rui told him back then, or what evidence he showed him, that made him believe it so wholeheartedly and do so much for him."

Speaking of which, An Xue Tang felt even more that Mo Yun Chen was just an idiot.

Doesn't he really think the emperor is a fool

Moreover, as the prince, he resided in the East Palace. He had every opportunity to find details about his birth when the Empress Dowager gave birth to him.

However, since he now calls Yunrui "Father," it seems he did not investigate thoroughly back then.

As for Mo Yunchen being deceived by Yun Rui, An Xuetang was too lazy to pay attention. No matter what they did, she wouldn't let them off anyway.

All these years, daring to use her Ah Jing as a pawn, do they really think her Ah Jing is a vegetarian

And they really think that the Northern Frontier Army led by her family's A-Jing is so easy to take

Now she and Ajing are already planning, to let Yunrui recognize them continue frolicking for a while longer. The things that should come back, she will not let these people take even a bit of advantage.

An Xuetang shook her head. "Forget it, these things are not urgent. Mo Yunchen now knows that I have terrible weapons in my hands. He dare not send troops easily. Besides, Yun Rui knows this man well. His men have been lurking by the side of the emperor for days. You don't have to worry at all. If he wanted to kill the emperor, he would have done it long ago, there's no need to wait until now."

He had a deep hatred for the Emperor, if it were an ordinary person who had the opportunity to avenge their revenge, they would have done so long ago. Yunrui knew he had the chance but deliberately left the Emperor alive, obviously there was something on him that he wanted but hadn't found yet.

"After that, An Xuetang suddenly grabbed Huaduo'er's hand. "In short, you don't have to continue staying in the palace to take risks. We will meet any challenges head-on. Whether it's the Emperor or people like Yun Rui Shichen and Yun Chen, they can do whatever they want. We are not afraid of them, and we will never let you sacrifice yourself for us."

Huāduǒ carefully considered it. She truly wouldn't be able to help Mò Yún Chén keep an eye on the Emperor, but she also couldn't just leave.

She didn't care about her own safety, but she couldn't ignore Mo Junyi.

Mo Yunchen threatened her, saying that if she suddenly left the palace at this critical juncture, he would really kill Mo Junshi. How could she forgive herself

Thinking about this, Huāduǒ once again rejected nxuetáng.

After refusing, fearing An Xue Tang would be angry, she quickly added, "I promise you, once Mo Jun Yi safely returns to you and the Northern Border King, I will obediently listen to you and leave the palace with Xiao Hong."

"You..."

An Xuetang felt a deep sense of powerlessness; she just couldn't explain it.

"Atang, please don't persuade me anymore. It's getting late, and the emperor should be waking up soon. He'll be looking for me these days, so I have to return to the palace."

“......”

Seeing her determination to return to the palace, An Xuetang could only nod. "Ning'er has good light kung fu, let her send you back. Remember, your safety is more important than anything else, so protect yourself well. When we bring Zi Ling back, we will send someone to pick you up."

The little flower nodded slightly, a smile playing on her lips. "Alright, I'll wait for you."

It was getting late, and Huāduǒ didn't have time to dawdle. She glanced at An Xuetang and turned to leave, but just then, An Xuetang, for some unknown reason, felt a sudden pang of anxiety. She blurted out, "Duǒ'er."

The little flower turned her head, "Hmm"

An Xuetang felt like she had a thousand words to persuade her, but in the end, she could only say, "Duo'er, everything has cracks, but that can also be where the light comes in. You...understand what I mean"hings quite well. If a martial artist were to live among them, we wouldn't be able to tell."That's right, Ning'er makes a good point.An Xuetang also realized this, she thought about it for a moment, a...
