“….”
Yun Si was stunned. He had thought that the Cheng family came to cause trouble for them so early in the morning because of Mo Yunze’s instigation, but he did not expect today’s events to be the emperor’s plan.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but Yun Si’s expression grew solemn.
He turned to go back home, but the Cheng family members kept staring at him. Seeing that he wouldn’t say anything and was about to leave, they rushed forward and hugged Yun Si’s calf without hesitation.
Yun Si’s mind was preoccupied with another extremely important matter, causing him to be absentminded. As a result, he unwittingly gave the Cheng family an opportunity to exploit.
Suddenly touched by someone, Yun Si didn’t think and directly moved her internal energy to shake them away.
The Cheng family women were all completely untrained and weak. At this moment, they were all sent flying by Yun Si’s internal force, one after another, landing on the ground and spitting blood directly.
Yun Si’s indifferent eyes stared at them. “This is the last time. If I see you near Bei Jiang Wangfu again, you will be killed without mercy. We won’t kill today, just get lost as quickly as possible!”
Leaving behind these words, Yun Si turned and headed back to the palace, going straight to Jing Tang Yuan.
The women of the Cheng family’s hearts were ashen. At this moment, they finally saw their situation clearly and completely knew that their lives were over.
There is no cure, they are utterly hopeless.
Then, without knowing which of the ladies had started it, a cry rang out: “The Princess Consort of Beijiang has harmed us!”
Soon, the other people around her seemed to react as well and began shouting along with her.
At this point, they can only try this risky move, try to make a bigger fuss out of it, and see if they can attract more people, get everyone to condemn the actions of the Bei Jiang王府, and force them to hand over the antidote.
But all they can say is that their ideas are idealistic, but reality is very harsh.
Their voices hadn’t managed to draw anyone else over yet, but the people from the Bei Jiang Wang Fu were already standing beside them at some point.
Before they could continue speaking, they acted swiftly. The first person who spoke up was already silenced by the North Frontier王府’s people in a strange and eerie way.
When the other women saw this incredibly bloody scene, they were so scared that they couldn’t make a sound.
The people from the Beijiang Royal Mansion glanced at them indifferently, “Do you want to play tricks? Do you think the methods of our Beijiang Royal Mansion are too mild? All want to stay and continue experiencing?”
If one person’s tongue could be cut off at will, if they still dared to make such a fuss after that, where would their lives be now?
“The same goes for the people of Beijang Royal Mansion. Even someone as noble as the Fourth Prince is not looked upon with any regard, so how could they possibly show mercy to us?”
Having understood this, the Cheng family members struggled to their feet and stumbled away, their panicked appearance as if something extremely terrifying was chasing them.
As soon as the group left, the people from Beijang Wangfu immediately cleaned the place thoroughly, getting rid of all traces of blood.
……
The moment Yun Si entered Jingtang Garden, An Xuetang noticed the rare seriousness in his expression. It seemed he had discovered something troublesome.
When Yun Si arrived before her, An Xue Tang waved him off, not needing him to bow. She directly asked, “What’s the matter?”
Yun Si nodded slightly, knowing that An Xue Tang disliked being overly wordy. He therefore went straight to the point, explaining, “Your Highness, today’s events were all arranged by the Emperor.”
What has the “Dog Emperor” started doing again?
“An Xuetang withdrew her hands from massaging Feng Ming’s shoulders and looked up at Yun Si, “What do you think he’s trying to do this time?”
Knowing she had dangerous explosives in her possession, the Emperor still dared to provoke the Bei Jiang Wangfu. This time, what the Emperor is after must be something significant.
“Now that our prince has gone into battle, the emperor certainly knows that there will be no danger in Youlan City. Therefore, what he is most worried about now is not the war between Youlan City and the Chi Kingdom, but whether the hundreds of thousands of defenders in Youlan City, after our prince’s victory, will become like the Northern Frontier army, idolizing our prince and preferring to follow him.”
After hearing Yun Si’s words, An Xue Tang completely understood. To put it simply, the emperor didn’t trust Mo Yun Jing from her family and was afraid that the army led by Mo Yun Jing from You Lan City would be used by him in the future.
As long as Mo Yunjing can make hundreds of thousands of troops only obey him, coupled with the explosives in their Beijang王府’s hands, this Tianba Kingdom’s world would be theirs for the taking if their Beijang王府 desired it. What could the emperor possibly do to stop them?
So, from the emperor’s point of view, he would naturally be afraid that Mo Yun Jing’s accomplishments would overshadow him, winning over the hearts of the people and soldiers.
The emperor’s actions today are undoubtedly a ploy to use Cheng Ruer’s death as an excuse to control her. In doing so, he would prevent Mo Yunjing from taking any action.
Was this just a rash move by the “Dog Emperor,” or did he actually have a plan?
It’s almost impossible that the Emperor and Mo Yunze didn’t know about Mo Yunren’s near complete annihilation, but they still dared to make a move. Were they stupid, or did they already have a countermeasure for her explosives?
After a moment’s thought, An Xuetang still felt that the possibility of them being stupid was higher.
“Since they’ve arrived, let them be. Don’t waste too much thought on them. Those who remain in the mansion should continue doing what they are supposed to do. There’s nothing to worry about.”
Yun Si saw that his wife was so confident, and the restlessness in his heart gradually calmed. He had been thinking too little. The most important thing now was to let his wife have a safe pregnancy.
He shouldn’t add to the Duchess’s worries with such matters.
Upon thinking of this, he clasped his hands together and said, “I understand, my subordinate will take his leave now.”
“Well, go on then. You’re in such a hurry first thing in the morning to deal with those pesky flies outside that you haven’t even eaten breakfast, have you? Go and eat some food.”
“Yes.”
……
After Yunsi left, An Xuetang looked at Shou’er and smiled, “Shou’er, you really don’t want to eat some?”
“No, no.”
Shou’er’s head shook like a rattle, as if eating now was like taking her life.
“Hahahaha,” Kang’er burst into laughter, completely disregarding any pretense of politeness, “Shour, I really didn’t expect that you, the most enthusiastic eater we know, would have a day when you couldn’t stomach your food.”
“……”
Shou’er, listening to her laughter, gave her a speechless look. “It’s fortunate that this mission was assigned to me. If it were you, I dare swear you would probably be vomiting for three days.”
“Is that an exaggeration?”
“That’s really true.” That was An Xue Tang’s reply, she shook her head. “I just said I forgot something, it turns out I forgot to remind Shou’er to come back quickly after dusting the medicine powder.”
She had seen the effects of that poison firsthand, so she knew exactly how sickening it could be.
She now recalled a feeling of churning in her stomach, let alone Shòu’er who had just been “shocked.”
