Chapter 171

the future, he also needs a way out.Thinking this way, An Nánlín also didn't care about the damaged portrait. He hurried out of the study.On the other side, Liu Yanne ran to her daughter An Jiaxin's...After dinner, Mo Junyi went back to his room. An Xue Tang and Mo Yunjing strolled around the courtyard as usual after their meal.

This visit is for digestion, and also to help Mo Yunjing's legs recover.

After breaking a sweat, the two went for a shower.

In the past, An Xue Tang would always let Mo Yun Jing wash first, but today, for some reason, she proactively said she wanted to wash first.

Mo Yunjing naturally wouldn't refuse.

After Mo Yunjing finished washing, An Xue Tang had already fallen asleep. Mo Yunjing sat at the edge of the bed, thinking that she must have been tired today after being busy all day.

Looking at her sleeping face, Mo Yunjing slowly leaned down and gently placed a kiss on her forehead.

His eyes held hers, full of unspoken longing. Just moments before in the bathroom, he'd been agonizing over how to tell her he was leaving.

He had finally made up his mind, but now looking at her sleeping face, he couldn't bear to wake her.

Mo Yunjing's deep, inky eyes gazed at her. For the first twenty years of his life, he had been decisive and ruthless, never hesitating like this before.

His Tangtang was truly like a candy, letting him taste what sweetness was.

When he was with her, he subconsciously wanted to carefully protect her. He feared that a degree of coldness would freeze her beauty and a degree of warmth would melt her heart.

Love began without warning, yet deepened with every passing moment. He used to scorn emotions, finding those caught in love foolish and burdened by it.

He, who was once the subject of his disdain and ridicule, is now exactly that sort of person.

An Xuetang was such a charming person. Just by looking at her, he felt like he possessed all the beauty in the world. The thought of leaving her, the thought of not being able to protect her constantly, made his heart ache with agony and torment, like steel cables binding his organs, paining him to the point of suffocation.

He silently watched her for a long time, eventually gritting his teeth and getting up, turning to go outside.

He didn't know that the moment he stepped out of the room, the person "asleep" on the bed slowly opened their eyes. Their gaze was clear, not at all like someone who had just woken up. It was obvious she hadn't been asleep at all.

An Xuetang turned her head to look at the closed door, her eyes dimming slightly.

She is intelligent to begin with. What did Mo Yunjing do tonight How could she not know

He proactively helped her build a fire and cooked her a meal, each action speaking volumes about his imminent departure.

It's just that she really didn't have the courage to face it. An Xuetang realized for the first time, that after falling in love with someone, a person's personality could truly change because of him.

Míngmíng, she used to disdain playing mind games. But now, for him, she's resorted to using some underhanded tactics as well.

She thought that as long as she wasn't awake, as long as she was asleep, he wouldn't be able to say goodbye to her.

He had promised her he would say goodbye before he left, so she thought that if she didn't give him a chance to say goodbye, he could stay with her a little longer.

But... his determination to leave was too great, she seemed unable to change his mind.

An Xue Tang took the initiative to use her 'skill' on Mo Yun Jing for the first time. Lying in bed, she clearly heard the conversation between Mo Yun Jing and Yun Si outside the courtyard.

"Yun Si, you stay here to protect the Princess and the Prince."

Cloud felt a surge of anxiety, "Your Highness, for you to journey to the North Frontier alone, I wouldn't feel at ease."

"This is not a discussion, this is an order."

"Your Highness." Yun Si immediately knelt down. "Your Highness, please let me go to Bei Jiang with you. If Your Highness is worried about the Crown Princess and the Young Master, why not take them to Bei Jiang as well"

Mo Yunjing's face darkened. "Yun Si, how long have you been with me"

Yun Si's face paled, "Fifteen years."

"Having followed me for fifteen years, why wouldn't I let the Princess and Crown Prince go to the Northern Border Don't you know"

Yun Si was stunned.

Mo Yunjing continued, his face expressionless. "You really think that the only one who attacked me a few months ago was the ghost sent by the emperor You really think that he alone had the ability to poison me Destroy my supplies Send messages to the enemy"

Yun Si's face turned ashen white. He widened his eyes, silent for a few seconds before speaking, "Your Highness means... there are traitors within the Yun army"

Mo Yunjing's eyes, as cold and deep as a winter abyss, narrowed slightly. "Or do you think anyone else could have leaked my deployment to the enemy Who could have calculated so precisely where I would appear"

Yun Siyue's face grew paler and paler as she listened. If there was a traitor within the Yun Army, then the prince's return to Beijiang would still be very dangerous. No wonder he was unwilling to let the prince and his wife follow back to Beijiang; it turned out that Beijiang was no longer a safe place.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the mole would know the specifics of the prince's battle deployments. That means the person must hold a high position within the Yun Family Army.

Mo Yunjing didn't care what he was thinking at the moment, he continued, "My mind is made up. You stay here to protect the princess and the prince. Now go prepare the carriage, I must leave."

"Your Highness," Yun Si bowed. "Since there is a traitor within the Yun Family Army, Your Highness cannot return at this time. If that traitor is working for the Emperor, wouldn't Your Highness be falling into the Emperor's hands if you went back now"

Mo Yunjing's voice was sharp and magnetic. "I have a way to handle this, go prepare the car."

"My lord."

"Just keep your mouth shut, or get back to the capital."

“!” Yun immediately shut his mouth. He knew the temperament of his master, the prince; once he said something, it would be done. At this moment, he was utterly helpless.

When Mo Yunjing returned to his room, he was already prepared to wake An Xue Tang. After all, he had promised her that he wouldn't leave without saying goodbye.

But when he came in, An Xue Tang had already sat up, her eyes looking at him with complexity.

Mo Yunjing walked over to her and sat down, "Did you hear that"

An Xuetang pursed her lips, "Mmm."

"Sugar, my brother's side has long nights and many dreams. I'm afraid if I go back late, he will really hurt my brother."

He didn't need Mo Yunjing to make it explicit, An Xuetang also knew he was referring to that emperor.

At this point, An Xue Tang naturally wouldn't say anything to keep him. She couldn't let her selfishness delay him from saving the crown prince.

At this moment, An Xue Tang suddenly hugged him, and whispered in his ear, "Ah Jing, you'll be safe, right"

Mo Yunjing hugged her back, "Hmm."

“Ah Jing, once Yun Liu gets the Mother of Pearl Flower back, I will make the antidote very quickly. Then I will go find you, alright”

"Okay."

"Ah Jing."

"Huh"

"Ajing, do you know Before I met you, I never knew what it felt like to love someone. After meeting you, I find myself constantly wanting to say something to you."

Mo Yunjing's profound eyes narrowed slightly, "What did you say"

"I would gather all the pearls of the world, with my sleeves swaying lightly, I would dedicate my entire life's beauty to you."w, Mother, is just to get your daughter to surrender the explosives, isn't it""But the Queen did not answer her question, only asking in return, "So you truly do not wish to give it up. You have indee...
