Chapter 177 Ah Jing, you should go

then. Seeing that he didn't object, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she untied Mò Jūn yì carefully and supported him gently, "Zǐ Líng, are you alright"Mo Junyi raised his eyes to look at her wor...An Xuetang turned her head to look at him, seeing the sincerity and earnestness in his pure eyes. She couldn't help but reach out and touch his head, "Yes, as long as I completely remove the poison from your Fifth Uncle's body, he won't suffer like that."

Mo Junyi's eyes welled up at this, he didn't want An Xuetang to see his awkward expression, so he quickly turned his face away and said in a slightly arrogant tone, "Woman, you cured my Uncle Wu, I will treat you well from now on."

An Xuetang smiled, her indulgent eyes gazing at the back of his head. Though this child seemed rather playful, he also possessed a hidden depth of sensitivity, intelligence, and perceptiveness that few knew about.

Mo Junyi thought for a moment, struggled for a while and then said, "Woman, I can give you anything you want, as long as you must be good to my fifth uncle."

..." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Why do you say that"

Mo Junyi pursed his lips, a touch of dejection in his voice. "My father told me that Uncle Five had never received Grandfather Emperor's love from childhood to adulthood. Since he was born, Grandfather Emperor had never held him, and even... when he was a few years old, Grandfather Emperor wanted to throw him to the fiefdom to fend for himself."

"... "

An Xuetang frowned. This was the first time she had heard about Ah Jing's past.

She listened quietly. Mo Junyi looked up at her, seeing that she was listening attentively. He then continued, “Grandfather doesn’t like Fifth Uncle. Father said it's because of Fifth Uncle’s appearance.”

An Xuetang was covered in black lines, squinting with dangerous ice eyes, "Could it be that the Emperor is jealous of my ah Jingchang being more handsome than him"

"…"

Mo Jun Yi helplessly rolled his eyes, "Woman, what is going on in your head Grandfather only chose Fifth Uncle because he looks the most like the previous emperor. Father said that Fifth Uncle's face was quite remarkable, resembling the previous emperor seven or eight points."

An Xue Tang instantly understood, so that's how it was!

The current Emperor, after all, usurped the throne by killing his father. Now, seeing his son who resembles the man he killed, wouldn't he feel a twinge of unease in his heart

But no matter how much he annoys you, he is still his own son!

"My father said that my uncle, the fifth one, had gone through many things when he was young. It's already a miracle that he's alive and well today."

An Xuetang frowned. Was Mo Junyi's father saying that his family, Jing, had been in a state of constant danger since childhood

"The man behind this, is the dog emperor"

"!" Mo Junyi's eyes widened, clearly startled by An Xuetang's sudden outburst of "dog emperor," "Woman, keep your voice down, this old emperor of mine is very petty!"

An Xuetang shrugged nonchalantly, "He can't hear us anyway. You know more than me, tell me what you know."

Mo Junyi pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "Forget it, I won't say anything. Just promise me you'll be good to my Fifth Uncle. He doesn't have many close people, so you absolutely can't hurt him, or...or else I..."

An Xuetang curled her lips, "How about you"

"I... I'll never grind medicine powder for you again."

An Xuetang chuckled, reached out to pinch his little face, then turned to his brow, smoothing it gently, and spoke softly:

"Don't worry, I promise you. As long as I'm around, no one will ever dare to wrong your Uncle Wu again, not even the current Emperor."

"You, you, stop frowning all day thinking about these things. Children should be like children, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Don't burden yourself so much, or you might not grow taller."

Mo Junyi blushed slightly at being pinched on the face by her. He turned his head away awkwardly, "Woman, it's getting late. You've almost finished making this medicine. You should hurry and spend more time with my fifth uncle, he'll be leaving soon."

An Xue Tang was thinking the same thing, seeing his cute red cheeks now, she couldn't help but pinch them, "Then I'll go back to my room. You're still young, don't stay up late, get back to bed quickly."

"Oh." Mo Junyi inexplicably didn't dislike her touch. Being pinched on the face was usually embarrassing, but he actually felt a pleasant warmth in his heart.

He was afraid his face would be even redder now, so he quickly ran back to his room.

Watching his awkward retreating figure, An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile.

She picked up the bottle of medicine and went back to her room.

She thought Mo Yunjing should be asleep by now, so she pushed the door open gently, but as soon as the door opened, in the faint moonlight, she saw at a glance that Mo Yunjing was sitting on the edge of the bed, not sleeping at all.

Seeing her enter, Mo Yunjing stood up. He walked towards her slowly, "Tangtang, are you ready"

"An Xue Tang pursed her lips, "Well, okay. I'll put the medicine in your pouch first."

This bag was sewn by her for Mo Yunjing herself. It's a bit like a modern shoulder bag, with a large capacity that can hold quite a lot of things.

She had just put the medicine in when Mo Yunjing suddenly pulled her over, pulling her into his arms and holding her tightly.

An Xuetang buried her face in his chest, acting like a kitten clinging to him, "What's wrong Are you a little reluctant to let me go"

Mo Yunjing twitched the corner of his lips. When her small face rubbed against his like that, it felt like a feather was gently scratching at his heart, itchy and yet very comfortable.

He reached out and touched her head, "Tangtang, were you scared tonight"

An Xuetang's eyes darkened, "Ah Jing knows better. In order not to worry me, Ah Jing must take medicine on time and control the toxins in his body, okay"

"Okay."

"I've prepared five bottles of medicine for you. These are specifically for the new poison in your body right now. From this point forward, you will take one pill every twelve hours, do you understand"

"Mm."

"Zǐlín is with me, you don't need to worry. I am capable of protecting him."

"Hmm."

"Don't worry about the grain and grass supply in the north. I will tell Ding Hua to speed up the process, grow all kinds of food as quickly as possible, and then transport it to the north so that your hundreds of thousands of troops won't go hungry."

"Hmm."

An Xuetang said everything she could think of until she felt like she had said enough. Then she gently pushed him away, "Ah Jing, you should go now."

She knew she couldn't keep him waiting any longer.

Before, she might have thought of begging him not to leave. But after hearing Mo Junyi's words, she knew she couldn't ask. Mo Junyi's father was like a brother, even more like a father, to Mo Yunjing.

From Mo Junyi's description, she could easily see that Ah Jing had been able to survive in the capital all these years thanks to her brother's protection. No wonder Ah Jing was willing to fight with her life to protect Mo Junyi and his father, because for Ah Jing, this father and son were her only family.

So she couldn't possibly ask him to stay now, no matter what.

An Xue Tang couldn't bear to see his back, so she turned around first.

Mo Yunjing stared thoughtfully at her departing figure, but eventually picked up the cloth bag on the table and turned to leave.honest, both of them disliked the Crown Princess, but because of their status, they had to pretend. So, they had to give the Crown Princess face and care about her life or death.After finishing her wo...
