sful. She admired it greatly.She was already impressed with the Cloud-Surrounded Commander, Lian Fan, when she read the military treatise. She admired how he could come up with "something out of nothi...Mo Yunjing stared thoughtfully at the tombstone for a moment, then came back to his senses and turned to look at An Xuetang.

Looking at An Xue Tang's dark circles, Mo Yun Jing took her hand, "Let's go home."

The monk clasped his hands together and bowed deeply to the two people. "This poor monk still needs to continue praying for her for a day and a night here. King Beijiang and Queen Beijiang, please return first."

An Xuetang frowned slightly, "Didn't the master already perform the 7749 days of supersition for her"

"Huai Yuan nodded slightly, "But transcendence and prayer are not the same thing. You should return first, there's no need to worry about this old monk. By the way, you can directly take the portraits in my inner chamber. This old monk considers it returning things to their rightful owners, finally settling a matter that has been weighing on my heart for many years."

Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang nodded slightly.

Huai Yuan Fang Zhang insisted on giving the baby a blessing here, and Mo Yun Jing and An Xue Tang couldn't say anything. The two finally glanced at the tombstone before turning and leaving.

Huayuan watched the two figures disappear into the distance, then glanced at the simple tombstone. He shook his head and let out a soft sigh, then knelt before the tombstone, folded his hands together, closed his eyes, and muttered words silently.

On the other side, back in the temple guest room, as soon as the two entered, Mo Yunjing shut the door and suddenly pulled An Xuetang into his arms, hugging her tightly, as if wanting to blend her into his very bones.

An Xuetang pursed her lips and gently stroked his back with both hands. She knew he was uncomfortable, so she just quietly stayed in his arms at the moment, letting him hold her.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Yunjing finally let go of her. "I told Eleven to prepare water. Wash up and get some rest early."

"Well, what about you Aren't you going to rest a bit After all, we've been working all night."

Mo Yunjing reached out and lovingly rubbed her head, "I'll be with you."

Seeing his strained smile, An Xue Tang pursed her lips and stared at him with concern, "Ajing, are you alright"

Mo Yun Jing curled his lips and couldn't help but rub her head, "Don't worry, I'm really fine."

He didn't have deep feelings for the child; he was just overwhelmed by the news he received tonight and didn't know how to react. It wasn't that he was heartbroken.

He had once, with his elder brother, speculated on many possibilities, even considering the possibility that their mother might have been harmed by the other concubines in the palace during childbirth.

But no matter how hard they guessed, they never suspected that the child in their mother's womb was not the current emperor.

So when he heard everything the Abbot Huayan had to say with his own ears, his heart was filled with a complex mixture of surprise, resistance, and disbelief. He didn't want to believe it!

On closer inspection, he felt that what the monk had said was highly probable, and when he put everything together, it seemed to make sense.

Eleven had already prepared hot water and as soon as Mo Yunjing gave the order, he quickly had someone bring it over.

Because of the burial for that child, An Xuetang had dirt on her body, so she didn't refuse this time. After the hot water was ready, she went straight to wash behind the curtain.

At this moment, Mo Yunjing was sitting by the table waiting. He took out the pink jade pendant from his waist, and his eyes became even deeper.

He had some impression of this pink jade pendant; he remembered his mother dearly treasured it since he could remember.

She cherished this jade pendant deeply, rarely parting with it. He recalled an instance where a maid accidentally bumped into her jade pendant, resulting in her immediately ordering the maid to be executed.

Since then, no one dared to touch the jade pendant lightly.

Mòyúnjǐng's deep eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the jade pendant for a moment. Then, he placed it on the table.

He stood up and walked to the door, pulling it open and walking past. An Xuetang behind the curtain heard the sound of him opening the door, and she raised her head from the bath bucket. Her round eyes blinked.

Because she was curious about what Mo Yunjing wanted to do, she subconsciously sped up her shower.

In the courtyard, upon seeing Mo Yunjing come out of the house, Shiyi bowed and said:

"My lord, the third princess went straight to the palace after leaving here. She has been carried into the empress's bedroom. Seeing the third princess like this, the empress was furious and summoned all the imperial physicians."

In the midst of their conversation, Eleven raised her eyes to look at Mo Yunjing and continued, "Master, according to our informants, the Third Princess has blamed everything on Madam. The Empress is very angry now, she has asked the Emperor to send a thousand Imperial Guards to arrest the Duchess."

The Imperial Forest Army arrests An Xuetang!

Mo Yunjing curled the corner of her lips into a mocking smile, her cold eyes narrowed slightly, "The Emperor agreed"

"Yes, Your Majesty not only agreed but also sent the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards to come and arrest the Princess."

"Heh."

Mo Yunjing let out a cold snort, his meaning unclear. "I know," he said. "For now, there's no need to worry about what happens next. If they come, stop them at the foot of the mountain. No one is to be allowed up without my command. Anyone who dares to break in will be killed without mercy!"

Eleven raised an eyebrow, though curious she didn't ask anything and immediately excitedly replied "Yes."

At this time, An Xue Tang had already put on her clothes and pushed the door open to come out.

At the sound, Shi Yi instinctively lowered his head without daring to look at An Xue Tang.

At that moment, Mo Yunjing turned his head back and the instant he saw An Xuetang, the coldness in his eyes instantly had a touch of warmth.

"All done Why didn't you dry your hair first It's cold outside and the wind is strong."

As he spoke, he walked back to An Xuetang's side and took the towel from her head, gently wiping away the watermarks for her.

His tenderness belonged solely to her, making An Xue Tang's heart feel a little sweet. At this moment, the corner of her mouth unconsciously curled into a smile, and she muttered helplessly:

"I'm not a three-year-old, Ajing, don't worry so much."

The couple was talking, and the atmosphere was unusually warm and comfortable. Eleven knew he shouldn't be there at this time, so he backed away slowly.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, An Xuetang suddenly called out to him, "Shiyi, don't go yet. I have something to tell you."

Mò Yún Jǐng's hand paused as he wiped her hair, his voice sounding emotionless, "If it's something important, we can talk about it tomorrow. You've been busy all night, why don't you rest for a while first."

An Xuetang shook her head slightly, "That won't work. I need to take care of Shiyi's matter urgently, I can't delay it."

She pushed Mo Yunjing aside at this moment and walked two steps towards Shi Yi.

Mo Yunjing lowered his head, his dark eyes glancing over her chest where her hands had touched before, then he looked at Shi Yi beside him.

He looked at Shi Yi at eleven o'clock, his eyes became sharp. Although Shi Yi didn't look up, he still felt the vinegar taste of their family's prince. He was instantly scared and his spine went cold.

I can't help but want to remind them, Your Highness, that this appearance is really not suitable for going out!

A princess who had just taken a bath and was still dripping wet, her hair tousled, surely wasn't something that these lowly servants were meant to behold

Isn't the Queen acting against his best interests He certainly doesn't want to be held a grudge by the 'narrow-minded' Prince! to treat people this way, do you Rest assured, if you can come out safely, so can I."Seeing that he had made up his mind, Mo Yunjing stopped talking. He suddenly raised his fist and lightly punched H...
