What?
Listening to An Xue Tang’s words, Mo Yun Jing pursed his lips and gave a cold smile. “This king wants to see who dares.”
The palace was full of dangers, so she had to have Fu Shou Kang Ning, who possessed superb martial arts skills, by her side. Only then could she feel somewhat at ease.
An Xuetang’s clear eyes looked at him, shaking her head slightly, and lowering her voice, “A Jing listen to me, today is not suitable to confront the emperor.”
After all, there are too many things to do with the emperor next. Now that one thing can be saved, it’s better to save it.
An Xue Tang finally persuaded Mo Yun Jing, and in the end, she brought Fu Er and Ning Er.
Fu’er is skilled in martial arts and Ning’er is more composed. The two of them are more reliable than Shou’er and Kang’er when they accompany An Xuetang.
Watching Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang get into the palanquin arranged by the palace and leave, at this time those ministers also began to walk in. They lowered their voices and discussed as they walked.
All the topics were revolving around An Xue Tang, then someone, it was unclear who, suddenly shifted the conversation to An Nan Lin:
“Lord An, it is rumored that the Princess of Beijang is your daughter? Is this true?”
Annan Lin was suddenly called out, his face flushed with embarrassment. He didn’t know whether to say something or not, and he wasn’t sure if he should admit it.
His own daughter was a princess, he could even smile in his sleep. But which princess wasn’t good, it just so happened to be the Princess of Beijang. You have to know that the King of Beijang is someone the emperor had been trying hard to get rid of.
Having spent so many years in the court, he was well aware of the political situation and who dared to oppose the Northern Border King’s faction.
If the Emperor found out about this, would it bring disaster?
The Emperor had known all along, of course. He knew that the daughter he had in the countryside was the one who had saved the King of Bei Jiang, and also the woman the King of Bei Jiang had forcefully wanted to marry.
Since Liu was arrested, he has been living in fear, worried that the Emperor would misunderstand him as being on the same side as the Northern Border King. He fears that the Emperor might one day order his entire family executed.
Lately, the Emperor seems to have forgotten that he is the biological father of the North Border Princess and hasn’t had anyone bother him about it.
If he admitted right now that the Northern Border Princess was his daughter, and if these gossips spread it afterward, would he be causing himself trouble?
Facing the question from the esteemed adults, An Nanlin did not dare to reply. He suddenly looked up at the sky and then hastily said, “Esteemed adults, we have already wasted enough time today. Let us enter the main hall early to avoid any delay in important matters.”
As soon as the words were spoken, Annanlin hurried away, his back bearing a resemblance to someone fleeing in panic.
The adult questioning had a dazed look in their eyes and looked up at the sky, “This… is it in time? What’s wrong with An Shi Lang today?”
At that moment, the adult accompanying him elbowed him, “Hush, let’s not discuss this. Don’t you remember the relationship between the Emperor and the King of Beijiang? If your daughter were the Princess Consort of Beijiang, what would you think now?”

As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed. “However, I still don’t understand. The rumors say that the Princess of Beijiang is a country girl, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and a rough appearance.”
“But seeing her today, this Northern Border Princess is nowhere near what the rumors described! Her fingers are slender like green onion stalks, her lips are like crimson vermilion. She moves with such grace and elegance, unmatched by anyone in the world. To say she’s the most beautiful woman in existence wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”
The adults around him nodded slightly, “This official was also amazed by her beauty, but it makes sense. If the Princess of Beijang wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful, how could the King of Beijang, who had never been interested in women, be willing to marry her?”
All those who heard this nodded in agreement, and no one dared to speak too much. At this time, they continued to walk towards the main hall.
After they left, a man with an extremely alluring appearance emerged from the side door. A smirk played on his lips.
He couldn’t help but softly call out An Xue Tang’s name, “An Xue Tang… A Tang… hehe!”
He had taken every smile and glance of An Xuetang into his eyes. This woman had a graceful air about her, her voice and laughter were gentle, serene like a flower reflected in water, and her movements were like willows swaying in the wind.
Such a woman following by Mo Yunjing’s side is simply a waste!
Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang entered the main hall. An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, she had to say, this hall was quite opulent.
Two people stood at the front. Mo Yunjing leaned his head and whispered something to her. The back was already filled with people, all civil and military officials.
At this time, a man walked up to Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang, smiling and saying, “Fifth brother, long time no see.”
Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang subconsciously looked up. When they saw who it was, the corner of An Xuetang’s mouth twitched.
It was Mo Yunze… This wasn’t her first time seeing him. Mo Yunjing ignored Mo Yunze and instead reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind An Xuetang’s ear.
Seeing Mo Yun Jing disregard him, Mo Yun Ze didn’t get angry. Instead, he smiled and spoke again:
“The fifth brother is still the same as always, doesn’t like the fourth brother. The fourth brother really feels wronged and can’t understand where he has offended the fifth brother.”
As they spoke, his gaze turned to An Xuetang, and he said meaningfully, “Sister-in-law, what do you think?”
Mo Yunjing’s eyes instantly became incredibly sharp, he coldly glanced at Mo Yunze, but this Mo Yunze wasn’t afraid at all.
He now had a slightly frivolous smile playing on his lips, just staring at An Xue Tang.
Mo Yunjing’s eyes were as deep and cold as a winter abyss. He couldn’t help but want to punch Mo Yunze, when An Xuetang grabbed Mo Yunjing’s arm and looked at Mo Yunze:
“Want to provoke Ajing into making a move here? You’re thinking too simply.”
Mo Yunze didn’t quite understand An Xuetang’s meaning, but the next moment An Xuetang’s actions left everyone dumbfounded.
Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped Mo Yunze hard.
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other in disbelief. Mo Yunze was also dumbfounded. This was the main hall, how dare this woman act so recklessly here?
He darkened his face, but before he could react, An Xuetang suddenly raised her leg and kicked him hard. She didn’t hold back at all, and Mo Yunze was instantly knocked to the ground.
“You…”
“Mo Yunze!” An Xuetang instantly raised her voice, trembling hand pointing at Mo Yunze on the ground, her eyes filled with tears as she scolded loudly:
“Mo Yunze, you heartless wretch! I am your own sister! How dare you speak to me like that? You…you’re not even human!”
“….”
None of the people here were naive children who knew nothing. When they heard An Xue Tang’s accusations, shock appeared in everyone’s eyes.
Looking at the Northern Border Princess, her eyes brimming with tears, a pitiful image, they almost didn’t need to think to believe what An Xuetang said.
Even Mo Yunjing was stunned by An Xuetang’s sudden acting.
