Chapter 178: Waiting for a Tree to Blossom, Hoping You Will

ou must make things right for your daughter! That lowly country girl, she... she actually poisoned me! Your daughter thought she'd never see you again. Father, please avenge your daughter!"The Emperor...An Xuetang listened to the sound of the door opening and closing, her eyes stinging, her throat feeling as if it were blocked, unbearably painful.

Mingming wanted to watch him leave with her own eyes, but she couldn't bear to let go of his every move.

Ultimately, she turned and rushed towards the door.

Mo Yunjing hadn't walked out of the courtyard yet when he heard the sound of the door opening. He smirked and turned around.

A petite figure rushed directly into his arms. He hugged her waist with one hand and her nape with the other, bringing their faces closer together.

"Ah Jing, I've never been so reluctant to leave someone behind before."

Mo Yunjing's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with infinite tenderness. He gently stroked her little head, "Fool, I'm not going to be gone forever."

An Xuetang bit her lip, her nose sour, her voice choked with emotion, "Ah Jing, wait for the flowers to bloom, and I will wait for your leaves to return."

"Okay."

An Xue Tang gently pushed him away, then raised her hands, winding them around his neck.

Mo Yun Jing's body bent in cooperation, and An Xue Tang immediately buried her head in Mo Yun Jing's neck. A drop of hot tears fell onto his neck, flowing down along his clothes.

Mo Yunjing felt a pang of sympathy. Before he could say anything, An Xue Tang's demeanor shifted. She suddenly bit him on the neck with force, relentlessly until the metallic tang of blood filled her mouth before she released him.

Although it hurt a little, Mo Yunjing still had a faint smile on his lips. He thought she was adorable like this.

An Xue Tang looked at the place where she had bitten him, bleeding slightly. She didn't feel that she had done anything wrong at all. She pouted and said, "Ah Jing, you better go now, or I'll bite you again."

Mo Yunjing chuckled, rubbed her long hair, then leaned down and pressed a deep kiss on her forehead.

After he let go, he glanced at Mo Junyi, “Take good care of your aunt-five.”

"The nephew accepts the order and will surely live up to Uncle Five's expectations."

Mo Yunjing then turned and left, this time... he truly had left.

Not only did An Xuetang not want to let him go, but he also couldn't bear to see her like this.

Mo Yunjing's long figure, like a ghost carved by divine hands, half-melted into the night, instantly filled with an invisible sense of intimidation. An Xuetang pursed her lips, feeling for the first time that she was being overly sentimental. She had never been so sensitive before.

It seems women's personalities even change when they fall in love, it's amazing! Women are truly fascinating creatures.

Seeing her standing quietly there, Mo Junyi walked over. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on An Xuetang's face and spoke softly, "Woman, don't act like it's a parting of life and death. We'll see Fifth Uncle soon."

An Xuetang retracted her thoughts and looked down at Mo Junyi, "Little brat, is it that difficult to call me Aunt Five"

Mo Junyi raised an eyebrow. "It's not difficult, but it would make me think of those imperial aunts in the capital. You're different from them."

What Mo Junyi didn't say was that he had psychological trauma towards the so-called "aunt," for back then, those "aunts" almost poisoned him and drowned him.

An Xuetang could hear the bitterness in his tone. It seemed that he had a hard time in Beijing, and even his so-called aunt came to bully him.

A touch of pain flitted across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said in a lighthearted tone, "Little brat, I'll take that as a compliment. If you don't want to call me Auntie, then don't. You can call me by my nickname just like your Fifth Uncle."

Mo Junyi raised an eyebrow. "Tangtang"

"Shall we call Sister Ah Tang"

Mo Jun Yi immediately refused without hesitation, "I wouldn't want to. I heard that medical woman call you 'Tang elder sister' all day today. I definitely don't want to be like them."

The women he was talking about were Xiao Liu and Xiao Li.

An Xuetang smiled, "Then let's call her Tangtang. As long as you're not afraid that your fifth uncle will spank you."

Hearing her say spanking, Mo Junyi subconsciously rubbed his butt, "I can't call you that in front of him."

Seeing him rub his bottom, An Xue Tang let out a giggle, "It seems... you've been spanked quite a bit by your fifth uncle, haven't you"

Mo Junyi sighed, sounding a bit helpless. "The year before last, he came back to the capital and happened to catch me in the kitchen roasting rabbit. He almost beat my butt to pieces."

"Well, you're a prince, at least. Shouldn't he be giving you some face"

"As for the young master, my fifth uncle is still a prince with an estate. It's not easy to defeat me."

Then you should have fought back when you saw him this time, after all, he can't outrun you with those legs.

"Mo Junyi gave her a look of disdain, "Woman, do you even know what inner strength is If I dared to lay a finger on my Fifth Uncle, I wouldn't even have time to run out the door before he slapped me into oblivion. Don't ask me why I know, I tried it two years ago. I was bedridden for half a month."

"Hahaha"

An Xuetang was immediately amused and covered her stomach laughing.

Mo Junyi saw that the worry between her brows finally eased, and she didn't look so sorrowful. He let out a slight sigh of relief.

As long as he can make her laugh, what harm is there in occasionally bringing up his embarrassing moments

At this moment, Mo Junyi put on a fake angry expression, glared at her with displeasure and said, "Woman, if you laugh again, believe it or not, I'll let you experience what it's like to be slapped by internal energy"

An Xuetang laughed a few more times, then quickly raised her hand. "Okay, hahaha, okay, I'm not laughing anymore, hahaha."

Mo Junyi : "..."

Ding Hua pursed his lips and gave Mo Junyi a grateful look. He naturally understood what Mo Junyi was thinking.

An Xuetang laughed until she was tired. The tears at the corners of her eyes weren't sure if they were from laughing or from Mo Yunjing's departure. Right now, she raised her hand to wipe them away.

"It's almost dawn, you guys better hurry back to your rooms and get some rest."

Mo Junyi and Ding Hua nodded.

An Xuetang yawned, "I'm going back to sleep too, Ding Hua. Don't call me before lunch."

Ding Hua bowed, "Yes."

Thus, Mo Yunjing left. An Xuetang spent a whole two days before she could accept this reality.

Waking up in the morning without his embrace and not having his goodnight kiss before bed, it was truly difficult for An Xuetang to accept.

The past couple of days, she'd been a bit down. Mo Junyi, however, would come and chat with her, deliberately finding topics to talk about.

Originally, he said he wanted to learn medicine to distract her. Who knew, as he learned, Mo Junyi actually fell in love with studying medicine.

Whenever An Xue Tang pointed at the human body structure she drew and explained it, telling him about the location of each organ and how to perform surgery and stitch wounds, Mo Jun Yi's eyes would light up, wishing someone would let him experiment on them.

That day, An Xuetang told him how to perform a laparotomy and treat diseases such as uterine fibroids and appendicitis. Mo Junyi listened in astonishment, his eyes widening in disbelief as he questioned:

"Woman, you say that a person can still live after having an abdominal incision Don't deceive me, saying I'm unsophisticated."me, it wasn't me, Your Highness, I didn't... ah"An Xuetang suddenly struck, slapping her hard. Just then, a group of people rushed over.The man at the front was still wearing his official robes, looki...
