Chapter 479: Little Expression Serious

d said slowly, "The snake has come out of its hole."He had just stood up when An Xuetang pulled him back, "You're injured, you can't go."His abdominal wound was no light matter. If he were allowed to...Hearing Master Jianzhen sternly tell An Kang to kneel, An Xue Tang and Mo Yun Jing instinctively looked at each other.

Just then, An Kang had already knelt down. The ancient people's habit of kneeling at the slightest provocation left An Xue Tang stunned; she quickly bent down to help him up.

But Mo Yunjing pulled her up instead. An Xuetang looked at him in surprise, but Mo Yunjing didn't offer an explanation.

At this time, Master Jianzhen solemnly instructed An Kang, “An Kang, tonight’s actions by the Northern Border Princess were all done for you. From now on, you must remember the Northern Border Princess' kindness to your master.”

"If, in the future, the Princess of Beijiang needs your help, you must do everything in your power to assist her, even if it means sacrificing your life to repay her kindness."

"…"

An Xue Tang helplessly rubbed her temples. She had merely happened to have this opportunity to give An Kang a starting point, there was nothing she had truly given up.

To her, it seemed like she hadn't done anything at all.

So it's not necessary to risk this little dumpling's life, but before she could say anything, Ankang had already nodded seriously and bowed deeply to An Xuetang:

"The poor monk, An Kang, hereby vows that tonight's kindness from the Northern Border Princess, An Kang will cherish forever in his heart. From now on, as long as the princess needs help, An Kang will do everything in his power to assist her and help her achieve her goals."

After finishing his words, An Kang bowed deeply to An Xue Tang. This grand display of respect left An Xue Tang feeling helpless.

An Xue Tang sighed, then stepped forward and helped him up, saying softly, "This concubine didn't do anything tonight, I just couldn't stand Xi Zi Li's actions so I gave her a slight lesson."

"Besides, I am West Zi Li's aunt by marriage. It is my duty to discipline her when she does wrong. You need not worry so much about it, or I will feel burdened."

An Xuetang's words made Master Jianzhen show a look of appreciation. Master Jianzhen clasped his hands and said:

"The princess of the Northern Border need not say more. We, master and disciple, will always remember the kindness of the princess. If tonight's events truly cause the Emperor to blame us, this monk will not stand idly by."

An Xuetang smiled, “Alright, alright. There’s no need to thank me for such a small matter. I have everything under control for tonight. Don’t worry, you all. The Emperor… oh, the dogs won’t do anything to us, don’t dwell on it. It’s getting late, so get some rest.”

As they spoke, An Xue Tang's eyes, filled with an ambiguous meaning, swept over Xiaotuanzi, and she winked at him.

Little Tuanzi also blinked, as if in response to her. Then, Little Tuanzi looked at Master Jianzhen and said in a soft voice:

"Master, it's getting late. You should rest early. Allow your senior brother to send you back, and I will escort the King and Queen of Beijang back to their rooms."

Could he, with his small frame, protect the King and Queen of Beijang

Master Jianzhen gave him a meaningful look, but ultimately chose not to expose him. He nodded now, “Alright then, this master will return with your senior brother first. You should head back to your room early.”

"Ankang bowed, "Disciple understands."

After seeing Master Jianzhen and his monks leave, An Kang let out a sigh of relief, with a telltale look of guilt on his face.

Anshetang and Moyunjing looked at each other, both of them with a hint of smile in their eyes.

After they all left, An Xuetang patted Xiao Tuanzi's shoulder, "Xiao Tuanzi, how are you Is your mood better now"

An Kang turned his head back to look at her, silent for a moment, "Your Highness, thank you for speaking up for this monk."

His words of thanks were truly sincere, and all the oaths he had just taken came from the depths of his heart.

An Xuetang patted his head, "You and this concubine are comrades in arms. We don't need to be so polite between us. In the future, you just need to know that no one can bully you. Next time you encounter a troublesome woman like Xi Zili, just run. If you can't run, just tell this concubine, and this concubine will stand up for you."

"But this imperial concubine hates the most those fools who just stand there waiting to be bullied, so you absolutely mustn't hold back. You must keep your spine straight and stand tall on your own, only then will others dare not make you bend."

An Xuetang knew that Xi Ziyi had suffered humiliation today, she would definitely find a way to take revenge. Therefore, An Xuetang must remind An Kang.

Next time I meet someone like Xizi Li, I'll just run away. It's not a big deal. If I can't outrun them, I'll fight back for a few days. In short, I won't just stand there and be bullied!

"An Kang wasn't sure if he truly understood or not, but he slightly nodded towards An Xue Tang. "This monk will definitely remember the Princess's words."

"That's good then." An Xuetang looked around, then lowered her voice, "Little Tuanzi, do you think we can act now"

Ankang blinked and cautiously looked around himself, lowering his voice deliberately. "Now's a good time," he said to them. "Come with this poor monk."

After that, Xiaotuanzi looked around like a thief, then tiptoed in a secluded direction.

An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing smiled at each other, the two also raised their feet to follow, before leaving Mo Yunjing glanced at Eleven.

Eleven nodded immediately and then walked in the other direction.

It's still late at night, pitch black, luckily the three of them have good eyesight and can see clearly even in the dark.

Xiaotuanzi walked forward non-stop, glancing around from time to time, then waved at An Xue Tang and Mo Yunjing, motioning for them to catch up quickly.

An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow, the two appearing leisurely and walking slowly behind Xiao Tuanzi.

Neither of them acted like they were doing something wrong.

"Ajing, how is your relationship with the third princess"

Generally, not much emotion.

As for this Third Imperial Sister, Mo Yunjing truly didn't have any feelings. Because the Emperor disliked him, those princes and princesses all kept their distance as much as possible from him.

Over the years, apart from his elder brother Mo Yunchen, who shared the same parents, he barely associated with anyone else, especially these princesses.

They were afraid that getting too close to Mo Yunjing would give the emperor the wrong impression, so they never went anywhere near him.

An Xuetang thought about it, too. Her brother wouldn't have any sisterly feelings with those princesses, but she still reminded Mo Yunjing:

"Tonight, I will observe the Third Princess's countenance and her physical condition. I suspect she has been subjected to a chronic poison all along."

Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes, "Was the poisoner Xizi Bo"

"I bet it's him. I just tested him, and his face clearly showed guilt. He didn't want me to make a big fuss either. It seems the poison in the Third Princess is somehow connected to him."

Mo Yunjing fell silent for a moment, "Tangtang, can you see what kind of poison she was poisoned with"

“I can’t tell for sure, but I suspect it might be some kind of chronic poison that damages the internal organs. It might be difficult to cure.”

Mo Yunjing pursed her lips. "This is her fate. Her husband was her own choice, and no matter what happens, it's her own decision."

At first, the prince from Xiliang came to form an alliance by marrying a princess. However, the third princess fell in love with Xizibo and used some means to make him her husband. So no matter what, this was the third princess's own choice.

Even if she was eventually poisoned to death by Xi Zibo, it was her own choice. She has no one to blame.

Upon hearing this, An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. Just as she was about to speak, Xiaotuanzi suddenly stopped and quickly turned back, her little face very serious. She made a 'hush' gesture to the two of them.

An Xue Tang and Mo Yun Jing were taken aback, both of them stopping in their tracks to listen intently to the surrounding sounds.g it himself.So he didn't think there would be any surprises in his mother's death.But why did that man lead him hereWhy was his mother's cat in that man's handsThese are all the points that need furt...
