. “This is the antidote. Ah Jing, take one before using it, so you won't be affected by the powder.”When An Xuetang handed the bottle to Mo Yunjing, he grasped An Xuetang's slender hand.An Xuetang loo...On the other hand, after being brought back to her room by a maidservant, Zhao Si's anger remained undiminished.

Another maidservant brought her more news, saying that Cheng Ru'er had actually been betrothed by the Emperor to be the Princess Consort of the Northern Border King.

As for why it ultimately didn't happen, it seems to have something to do with the Northern Border King's previous campaign.

As soon as Zhao Si thought of the deep connection between Cheng Ru'er and King Beijang, she felt her teeth itching with anger.

Especially, this Cheng Ru'er is just the daughter of a mere junior minister.

With what can one possibly compete with a woman like this

Ha!

Zhao Si thought with a sneer, Cheng Ruer wanted to enter the Bei Jiang Wangfu as a concubine

That also depends on whether Zhao Siting agrees!

"Zhao Si thought for a while, then looked up at her maid, “You go find someone to keep a constant eye on Cheng Ru'er."

The maid naturally didn't dare to say anything, she could only nod in agreement, "Yes."

However, they still had to consult the Third Prince about this matter. After all, the Third Prince had said that during their time in Tianba Country, all of the Sixth Princess's movements had to be reported to him.

Zhao Si didn't know that Zhao Li had actually made rules for the people around her, so she didn't notice anything unusual about the maidservant at all.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but suddenly let out a cold laugh, "But then again, that chaotic princess of Beijang, I don't believe she can swallow this. You guys keep an eye on her too, and see what that woman does now"

She wished the Northern Border Prince's Manor would be thrown into utter chaos because of this!

It would be best if, because of this, that woman drove Jing Ge to completely lose his temper!

……

At this moment, the atmosphere in Bei Jiang Wangfu was decidedly not good.

Zhaosi's maid knew that the emperor's edict had been issued, but she hadn't read the whole thing.

After the eunuch had finished reading the imperial decree, no one in the Beijiang Royal Manor accepted it.

But An Xuetang in Jingtang Garden didn't appear at all.

However, An Xue Tang still used her special "skills" to hear what the eunuch delivering the imperial decree was saying.

Upon hearing that the Emperor had issued such an edict, she raised a brow in surprise.

Ning'er and Shou'er, as well as Ning'er's other companions, were all watching her face, waiting for her command.

An Xuetang's expression didn't change much. After a moment of silence, she told Shou'er, "This person who delivered the imperial decree is also innocent. Let him live. It's just that I don't want to hear anything he has to say, not a single word."

Shou'er immediately bowed, "Shou'er understands. Please rest assured, Your Highness, Shou'er will take care of this right away."

"Hmm."

Only then did Shou'er turn and leave, having received An Xue Tang's agreement.

Having spent a considerable amount of time by the princess's side, I naturally understood what she meant.

The Empress Dowager wouldn't blame the eunuch for delivering the imperial decree. After all, he wasn't new to this job and should know King Beijang's temperament well enough.

In this situation, he still dared to read the imperial edict aloud in public, clearly wanting the onlookers to know, no matter the risk, that the emperor had issued an edict appointing Cheng Rou'er as a concubine of the Northern Border King.

Since he had already decided to read it, he should be prepared to face the wrath, and An Xuetang's anger wasn't that great, it just turned him into a mute.

After Shou'er left, Ning'er frowned and said to An Xue Tang, "Princess Consort, Cheng Ru'er still hasn't made her position clear. Should Ning'er go and warn her"

As for how to warn someone to make them fearful, Ning'er believed she had plenty of ways.

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "We needn't waste our energy on such trivial matters. Ning'er, go get some paper and ink, I have some things that need to be dealt with quickly."

Ning'er didn't know exactly what An Xuetang wanted to do, but she obediently prepared the paper and pen as instructed.

Now, An Xuetang has few things on her mind, but each one is a gamble she can't afford to lose, nor can she be careless about. She cares for Feng Ming's health, cares for Mo Junyi who is far away in the Northern Border, and also worries whether the Emperor will assign Mo Yunjing to confront the Red Country next.

These things were already enough to give her a headache, she really didn't want to waste her own time and energy, nor did she want the people around her to waste their time and energy on Cheng Ruer and Princess Zhao Si of Xuan Guo.

As for the third prince of Xuan Kingdom, Zhao Li, everyone says he is the most likely to inherit the throne. His purpose in visiting Tianba Kingdom must be more than just that.

However, Mo Yunjing also said that among the many princes in Xuan Guo, this Third Prince, apart from being favored, his abilities were not particularly outstanding.

The Xuan Emperor sent him to Tianba during this period, which also served as a test of his abilities.

So if Zhao Li offended her, she wouldn't be afraid of trouble, and she would just make sure Zhao Li couldn't go back.

But before doing these daring things, she had to make sure that she and Mo Yunjing had enough strength in their hands.

And without a doubt, her power was like those massive explosives.

So she had to make sure those explosives were taken care of.

For those imperial decrees of marriage, she had confidence in Mo Yunjing. She believed that with his abilities, he could easily resolve them.

……

At this time, Mo Yunjing, who was trusted by An Xuetang, was in the council hall of the palace.

He sat at the head of the table, with several men in official robes seated below him.

The atmosphere was extremely tense. Mo Yunjing, who sat in the main seat, remained expressionless, leaving everyone to wonder what he was thinking.

Those officials felt they had said everything they wanted to say and everything that needed to be said. Now, all that remained was for the King of Beijang to make a statement. However, the King of Beijang had been silent for quite some time and at this moment, there was no indication that he intended to speak.

They were all a bit anxious, looking at each other. But they were all shrewd people and understood Mo Yunjing's temperament, so although they were worried, they didn't dare say anything.

These officials are all nominal generals and lieutenants. They are all supposed to be military officers, but none of them dare to charge into battle.

Now that the nation of Chi has issued a declaration of war to Tianba, these people who are used to enjoying themselves in the capital city are unwilling to lead troops out on campaign one by one.

If they weren't willing to go out, that would be one thing, but they even have the nerve to scheme about military pay

Oh!

Mo Yunjing sneered inwardly. If he had the power to completely overhaul the imperial court, how could these useless people still be here wasting his time

After an unknown amount of silence, Mo Yun Jing lowered his eyes, concealing the coldness within them.

Those people looked at each other in dismay, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. One man slowly stood up and bowed to Mo Yunjing:

"King of the Northern Border, are the suggestions we just made feasible Please give us your opinion. The activity of the Red Nation is increasing day by day, and it seems like war might be upon us soon."

This man was a cavalry captain, a true cavalry captain, yet he had never even seen an actual battlefield.

It's truly ironic!

Mo Yunjing finally raised his head at this moment. His pair of pitch-black, deep eyes, which couldn't see any emotion, swept over this person.was pale with fear, trembling all over, but he still pulled out the letter, stammering, "M-my lord... the prince... he... sent me to deliver this."Mo Yunjing slowly raised his head, casually flicking...
