That night, Mo Yunjing still failed to successfully leave. He wanted to leave, but An Xuetang dared not let him go.
The poison in his system was taking hold, and she felt the erratic beating of his pulse. With just one night, she could create an antidote to suppress it.
So she took the initiative to persuade him to stay, promising him just one night.
Mo Yunjing couldn’t stand her pitiful eyes, and finally agreed.
After sending Mo Yunjing back to her room to rest, An Xuetang turned and went back to the operating room.
Even if Mo Yunjing disagreed, she would still stay up all night to make the antidote for him. She knew she could only keep him for one night at most, so she had to make time count.
Ding Hua, Yun Si, and Mo Jun Yi all knew that An Xue Tang was going to make an antidote for Mo Yun Jing. They lit dozens of oil lamps in the operating room.
The operating room instantly brightened. An Xuetang thanked them and told them to return to their respective rooms to rest; the medicine she was making was beyond their help.
Ding Hua and Yun Si returned to the courtyard and guarded it. Ding Hua turned his head and glanced at Yun Si, “Now do you know why the prince chose the princess?”
In Ding Hua’s eyes, An Xue Tang was composed and calm, intelligent like ice and snow, and possessed superb medical skills. She was a woman of grace and composure, a rare gem in the world.
Such a woman deserves their prince.
He thought that Yun Si had already seen An Xue Tang’s uniqueness, her excellence, but Yun Si spoke instead, “So, our prince married because the princess saved his life? Or did the princess threaten the prince into giving her such a prestigious position?”
” ”
Ding Hua gave him a speechless glance. “Yun Si, you have too deep of a prejudice against the Princess. You shouldn’t have such a deep prejudice against her.”
Yun Si frowned, “I have no prejudice. Ask yourself, with the princess’s background, she wouldn’t even be qualified to be a concubine for the king, yet she now demands the position of princess. Don’t you fear that as a country girl, she is unworthy?”
When Ding Hua was about to retort, a small knife suddenly flew from Mo Yunjing’s room and instantly pierced Yun Si’s shoulder.
This is undoubtedly the work of Mo Yunjing.
As expected, the next second, Mo Yunjing opened the room door. His eyes were as deep and cold as an abyss, staring straight at Yun Si.
Ding Hua and Yun Si knew, the prince was furious!
Both of them knelt down, Yun Si hesitantly bowed, “Your Highness, please calm your anger.”
Mo Yunjing’s icy and piercing gaze fixed on him, “Yun Si, what crime do you say the master should be punished for behind his back?”
Yun Si didn’t refute. He lowered his head, “This subordinate knows his fault, please punish me, Your Highness.”
“Go away. For you’ve served me for over a decade, I won’t kill you today. But if I ever hear you say one word against my queen, I will deal with you myself.”
Yun Si immediately grew excited and anxiously said, “My Lord, I am willing to accept punishment, but please don’t drive me away.”
Mo Yunjing had no intention of giving him a chance. His voice, sharp and magnetic, continued, “I’ll give you fifteen minutes to leave on your own.”
Mo Yunjing’s face was sullen, and he just wanted to use his internal energy to give him a palm when the operating room door suddenly opened.
An Xuetang and Mo Junyi walked out.
The noises from the courtyard, they had already heard. An Xuetang didn’t like this Yun Si, but right now Mo Yunjing was short of people, and although this Yun Si made her hate him, she had to admit that he was currently the best choice to stay by Mo Yunjing’s side.
No matter what Yun Si’s attitude towards her is, the fact that she is loyal to Mo Yun Jing is true.
Therefore, for the greater good, An Xuetang wouldn’t be able to let Mo Yunjing leave at this moment.
Besides, Yun Si is also responsible for contacting the Yun Family Army in Beijing, so we can’t let him leave easily.
“Sugar, did I wake you?” Mo Yunjing walked over to her side and patted her head, “I’ll take care of this, Sugar. Just do your own thing.”
An Xuetang curled her lips and smiled at him, “A Jing, if I hadn’t come out, wouldn’t you have chased Yun Si away?”
<When mentioning Yun Si, Mo Yun Jing's cold eyes scanned him once. "He is no longer suitable to stay here."
Yun Si wanted to speak up in his own defense, but Mo Junyi gave him a look that told him to stay silent.
“An Xuetang also glanced at Yun Si, then took Mo Yunjing’s hand. “Ah Jing, I know you’re doing this for me, but I don’t want you to act impulsively out of love. I also don’t want to become the kind of femme fatale in Yun Si’s mind.”
Mo Yunjing frowned, “Tangtang isn’t.”
An Xuetang smiled, “Of course I know I’m not. But Yun Si doesn’t know that, does he? But it’s okay, I’ll let him know.”
“Tangtang, you don’t have to worry about him. I don’t need this kind of subordinate; just get rid of him.”
An Xuetang patted Mo Yunjing’s hand, “Ah Jing don’t be angry, Yun Si has made a mistake, but I want to give him a chance, how about it?”
Mo Yunjing frowned, “What does Tangtang want to do?”
An Xuetang mysteriously smiled, “Ah Jing, just look.”
After finishing her words, An Xuetang looked down at Yun Si who was kneeling on the ground. She lifted her foot and walked towards him step by step, “Yun Si, get up first.”
“Your Highness, please punish me. My subordinate gossiped about the mistress behind her back and deserves punishment. But please, Your Highness, do not drive me away.”
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. “Get up and speak first.”
Yun Si hesitated, he didn’t dare.
Mo Yunjing’s eyes, as cold and deep as a winter abyss, fixed on him. “Do you not understand the Crown Princess’ words?”
“I know I was wrong!” Yun Si immediately stood up upon hearing this.
An Xue Tang nonchalantly twisted her neck and spoke languidly, “Yun Si, in your heart, what kind of woman is worthy of your Royal Prince?”
Yun Si pursed her lips, not daring to speak, but she thought surely it couldn’t be someone like her, a country girl.
“You think those noble ladies and misses from the capital would be a better fit for your prince? Or someone like me, who is both scholarly and skilled in martial arts, would be more suitable?”
Yun Si heard her praise him for being both literary and martial, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. However, before he could react, An Xuetang suddenly made a move.
Suddenly, she rushed towards him and attacked him up close.
An Xuetang’s body emanated a frigid chill, her eyes cold and bloodthirsty, as if she were a different person altogether.
Yun Si was taken aback by her change, instinctively stepping back and then retaliating.
An Xuetang was serious this time. She felt that if she didn’t give Yun Si a little lesson, this kind of person would keep making reckless mistakes.
Mo Yunjing’s pitch-black, profound eyes watched An Xuetang’s movements with a deep meaning. This was the first time he had seen An Xuetang’s strength. Every move she made was lethal. If she hadn’t deliberately veered her attacks away from Yun Si every time, Yun Si would have been seriously injured and fallen to the ground long ago.
Yun Si had a small knife on his shoulder. An Xue Tang narrowed her eyes and patiently sparred with him for three moves. After three moves, she lost her patience and directly pulled the knife off his shoulder. With lightning speed, she stabbed at his neck before he could react.
An Xuetang stopped one centimeter away from his carotid artery.
As long as she advances just a little, Yun Si will be doomed tonight!
