Chapter 863: Mo Yunjing Did It on Purpose
o, A Jing, you put Mother's portrait out today, actually to lure the snake out of its hole Was that man who paid a lot of money to find Mother's portrait Do you suspect he stole Mother's body"Mo Yunji...After Mo Yunze finished speaking, he didn't forget to paint a big picture for Liu Lan: "My father's attitude is still unclear. Now that Mo Yunchen has fled to the northern border, sooner or later he will rebel. The northern border army is formidable. When that day comes, it's really uncertain whether my father can hold on."
Liu Lan listened vaguely; as a woman confined to the inner chambers, she naturally wasn't familiar with such matters of court intrigue.
"Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. But there is one thing you must understand, no matter what your past identity was, now you are the Father King's beloved concubine. Once Mo Yunchen or Mo Yunjing ascends to power, all the women in the late emperor's harem will be executed first."
"!"
Liu Lanbie couldn't understand, but the moment "death" was mentioned, her heart jumped into her throat.
She didn't care about anything else, but she knew she didn't want to die!
Seeing her growing increasingly panicked, Mo Yunze's lips curled into a triumphant smile and he continued, "You and I are tied together now. If I am the victor in the end, regardless of the circumstances, I will guarantee your life and bestow upon you a lifetime of wealth and honor."
Liu Lan listened to him and pursed her lips, "Your Highness means that even if the world changes soon, everything I have now will remain the same, right"
Mo Yunze reached out and pinched her face, "Naturally, your days will even be better than now, after all, this king loves you."
Hearing the word “love”, Liu Lan was stunned for a moment, then said, “Okay, I promise you. Whatever you want me to do, I will do it.”
After saying that, Liu Lan couldn't help but add, "But now An Xue Tang is already wary of me. She might not agree to let me stay at the Bei Jiang Wangfu."
Mo Yunze raised an eyebrow, "Don't forget that you are now Liu Guifei. If you want to stay at the Northern Border Prince's Mansion, all you need is an imperial decree from your father. This prince believes that with your intelligence and wit, this matter should not be difficult."
Liu Lan pursed her lips, she herself wasn't even sure, but he seemed to have confidence.
Mo Yunze, seeing that his goal was achieved, wasn't planning to stay here any longer. He got up from the bed and asked Liu Lan to help him put on his clothes.
Liu Lan's eyes held a hint of reluctance. She dressed him, asking softly, "Your Highness, the Emperor won't be coming here tonight. Could you perhaps stay a little longer"
Mo Yunze let out a cold snort in his heart. Having achieved his purpose, how could he possibly waste time here
But now he still needed to coax Liu Lan, so he softened his voice and said, "We still have a long life ahead of us, no need to rush this. Once everything settles down, we'll have a lifetime together. Right now, the most important thing is to focus on the bigger picture. What's more, An Xuetang already knows about us. To prevent her from scheming against us, we must be extra careful these days."
Upon hearing his words, Liu Lan's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but she also knew the gravity of the situation and did not act unreasonably.
After seeing off Mo Yunze, Liu Lan sat listlessly on the bed, thinking about what lay ahead.
The thought of poisoning Mo Yunjing made her body tremble uncontrollably.
The next day, An Xue Tang woke up when the sun was already high in the sky. Mo Yun Jing's figure was gone from beside her, and she instinctively touched the space beside her, feeling only coldness.
An Xue Tang pursed her lips, a hint of disappointment in her heart. She wished she could open her eyes and see him, but that wish seemed so difficult to fulfill.
Just as I was thinking this, the door was pushed open and Mo Yunjing walked in.
As he walked towards her slowly, An Xuetang's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.
Mo Yunjing walked to the bed, his dark eyes gazing at this woman with black hair cascading over her shoulders, who smiled brilliantly and gracefully. A faint smile also played on his lips.
Their eyes met in silence for a moment before An Xue Tang spoke first, "Are you not going to court today either"
Mo Yunjing sat by the bed, "You're back."
His voice was a husky murmur that sent shivers down An Xue Tang's spine. She couldn't explain it, but her mind immediately flashed to their passionate encounter from the day before.
An Xuetang wanted to sit up, but at this moment she found herself without clothes. She instinctively shrank back under the covers and blushed as she said, "Can you please get my clothes for me"
Mo Yunjing rarely saw her so shy. He chuckled softly before taking her clothes.
An Xuetang carefully reached out from under the covers, waiting for him to stuff the clothes into her hand.
But after waiting and waiting, there was still nothing. She, hiding under the covers, blinked her eyes and tentatively asked, "Ajing"
Even though she could feel Mo Yunjing beside her bed, why wouldn't he speak
Thinking this way, An Xuetang finally pulled the quilt down.
"...."
The blanket slipped, and she immediately met Mo Yunjing's deep eyes. He stared at her with a knowing smile that wasn't quite a smile. Though he said nothing, did nothing, his expression was like he had spoken countless embarrassing things to her.
This is so intense!
An Xuetang pursed her lips, feigning indifference as she reached out to him, "That...A Jing, could you please give me your clothes"
Mo Yunjing hooked his lips, "I'll help you put it on."
"No no no"
At his serious tone, An Xuetang was frightened and quickly tried to grab the clothes from his hand.
Who knew that Mo Yunjing would directly scoop her up, embracing her in his arms. His deep and husky voice whispered in her ear, "Now you're shy"
An Xue Tang snuggled in his arms, pursing her lips and saying, "Mo Yun Jing, I think you're doing this on purpose."
Mo Yunjing didn't deny it, just chuckled lightly.
This way, the two just stayed embraced. An Xuetang's initial shyness gradually vanished, and she now felt strangely at ease nestled in her arms.
"Did the Emperor make things difficult for you today upon your entry to the palace"
"No."
"A-Jing, I forgot to ask you yesterday, has something happened recently"
Mo Yunjing gently stroked her soft hair, "Why do you ask that"
Seeing that he still had no intention of speaking, An Xue Tang narrowed her eyes slightly, "Has anyone ever told you that your queen is very intelligent"
"Well, that's clever."
"...."
< > An Xuetang suddenly felt a urge to hit him. It was as if they weren't on the same wavelength when she tried to talk to him. < >
But today he couldn't fool himself, yesterday she had already noticed that there were fewer people in the mansion.
An Xue Tang's serious eyes stared at Mo Yun Jing, "Many of the guards in the mansion are missing, where did they go"
"Find Yunliu and Ninger. Don't you want to bring them back as soon as possible"
An Xuetang looked at him with an expression of disbelief, "Besides looking for Yunliu and Ninger, what else"
"It's really gone."
These people haven't actually been sent out to do anything, except to look for Yunliu.
An Xuetang saw that he wasn't lying and her brows furrowed. It seemed she had misunderstood
But she still felt that Mo Yunjing had something hidden from her.
An Xuetang stared at Mo Yunjing's candid eyes with suspicion. Just as she was about to say something, Shou'er's anxious voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, Your Royal Highness, we found Yunliu and Ninger.""What's the matter"At this moment, An Xuetang truly resembled a well-bred young lady. She curtsied to Mo Yunjing, "Little woman Tang Bai, has met Your Highness."Her voice was deliberately altered.Mo Y...
