Chapter 589: Once Poisoned

ctice. Husband and wife are like a pair of chopsticks, neither can do without the other, sharing hardships and overcoming difficulties together. Now you want to shoulder it alone, then what's the poin...Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang looked at each other, neither of them saying a word.

The emperor's subsequent words and actions shocked them even more. He actually took the initiative to ask about Mo Yunchen's health, and he also asked if Mo Yunjing was feeling unwell, wondering why he hadn't gone to court for the past two days.

After asking all these questions, he even inquired about An Xuetang's physical condition and whether she was lacking maidservants to attend to her. He offered to bestow some maidservants upon her.

An Xue Tang flatly refused, but since the Emperor had spoken, An Xue Tang didn't know what she was thinking. A cunning glint appeared in her eyes as she said, "Since Father has said so, then daughter-in-law won't be polite to Father."

The emperor felt a chill down his spine, but he still managed to say, "Just tell me what you need."

An Xuetang wanted nothing more than this statement. She smirked faintly, "Father did say that our Bei Jiang Wangfu was responsible for receiving the envoys from Xuan Guo, didn't he"

Of course, my imperial edict has already been issued.

"Oh, that's right, Father. As you can see, our Beijang王府 is already struggling financially and simply doesn't have the extra funds to entertain those Xuan Guo envoys."

Besides, the daughter-in-law has heard that the envoys from Xuan Country are quite discerning. The daughter-in-law dares to say that with the current financial resources of the Beijiang王府, it will definitely be inadequate to take care of them properly. If Father King insists on having our Beijiang王府 host them, then fine, but Father King needs to provide us with financial and material support. What does Father King think

"......"

The emperor's mouth twitched. He had already told the eunuch to relay the imperial decree back earlier and was furious about it at the time, but he had already sent over 100,000 taels of gold and silver. Was that not enough

The emperor cleared his throat at this point, “Haven’t I already sent over 100,000 taels of gold and silver”

Ha!

An Xuetang couldn't help but sneer in her heart. This puppet emperor was treating them like beggars A measly 100,000 taels to send them off

At this moment, An Xuetang let out a deep sigh, feigning a pitiful expression. “Father, you truly don’t know the current prices With the one hundred thousand taels of silver and gold you sent, your daughter-in-law barely managed to decorate a single room, spending it all. Just one vase in the room, even the most common one, would cost at least ten thousand taels.”

Seeing An Xuetang continuing to enumerate, the emperor quickly stopped her, "Enough, I will have another million taels of gold delivered. As for vases and other decorative items, I will have some brought over from the palace. Should that be sufficient"

An Xuetang smiled, "It would have been better if we had done this earlier!"

"Enough, enough. If it's not enough, my daughter-in-law will ask Father King again later."

"!"

The emperor is sickened, and he still wants more Why don't you just go steal it

At this time, the emperor hurriedly looked at Mo Yunjing and changed the subject, "This time I came to see you, and by the way, I also want to see your elder brother. After all, he is my son, and I also want to know how he is doing."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes. Was this a hard bargain turning soft

Mo Yunjing remained expressionless, his voice devoid of emotion. "Thank you, Father, for still acknowledging my status as your eldest son. However, my elder brother is currently afflicted with a severe poison and is unable to receive visitors."

The emperor only cared whether Mo Yunchen was truly poisoned. He raised an eyebrow, "Was he truly poisoned When did he get poisoned"

"Brother, when did you get poisoned Wouldn't Father know best"

"!"

The Emperor naturally knew what Mo Yunjing was talking about. He had ordered someone to poison Mo Yunchen before, and of course he wouldn't forget it. Even though Mo Yunjing had overturned the truth of the blood recognition last time in the palace, in his eyes, Mo Yunchen was definitely not his son.

Faced with Mo Yunjing's question, the emperor only cleared his throat and then stood up. "Enough is enough, I've been out of the palace for long enough today."

The eunuch by the emperor's side heard this and hurriedly shouted, 'Set off, return to the palace,' After that, the emperor raised his foot and walked away. Looking at his back, it seemed as if he was fleeing in desperation.

After the emperor left, An Xue Tang couldn't help but look at Mo Yun Jing, "A-Jing, do you think the emperor has some kind of scheme His attitude towards you feels like it's completely changed."

Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes, "The intelligence from the palace reveals that the palace has increased its personnel. It seems he's on guard against someone."

"Ajing, are you saying the Emperor realized he was in danger"

"Hmm."

"An Xuetang's mind instantly conjured up a scene of a power struggle. 'Do you think the Emperor deliberately changed his attitude towards you to shift the attention of other princes and princes away from him, making them fight each other while he stays safe and sound'"

Mo Yunjing chuckled lightly, raised his hand to touch her head, "It's not impossible. Alright, stop thinking about it, let's go see the imperial brother first."

"Okay."

Two people went to Moyunchen's courtyard. When Fu'er saw them coming, she came over with a hint of excitement and bowed. Then she reported, "My lord, My lady, just now two men were sneaking around trying to break into the courtyard. Da Zi bit those two until they were disfigured."

An Xuetang let out a chuckle, "Well. We saw it, you did a good job."

She naturally wouldn't think that the two martial artists from the Imperial Guard were reduced to that state solely because of Da Zi's efforts. Fu Er and the others had certainly played a part in this as well.

Fu'er scratched her head and giggled, "This is all that the servants should do. By the way, Your Highness and Her Royal Highness, the Crown Prince is already waiting for you."

An Xuetang nodded slightly, and she and Mo Yunjing immediately went to put on sterile suits and shoe covers and entered the sterile room.

Mo Yunchen looked thoughtfully at An Xuetang. His attitude today was much better than before, but An Xuetang didn't go out of her way to please him.

Mò Yún Chén spoke first, “Father, what brings you here Have you caused them any trouble”

Mo Yunjing shook his head slightly, "He can't trouble us, but he is naturally suspicious. Since he didn't see you today, he will definitely think we are plotting something together. He won't let it go."

"Yeah, he's always been suspicious."

Perhaps no one understands this better than Mo Yunchen. No matter how much favor he had received from the Emperor before, the moment the Emperor changed his face, he would know that immense favor ultimately couldn't withstand the Emperor's suspicion.

Mo Yunjing pursed his lips, "Your Highness, is there anything you need to arrange before leaving"

Given Mo Yunchen's current recovery progress, in ten days or half a month he will be able to set off for Beijang. This trip... I'm afraid he won't come back.

So Mo Yunjing wanted to know how he should arrange the people in the Prince's Mansion.

An Xuetang was also very interested in this matter. She blinked and looked at Mo Yunchen, wanting to know if he would take the Princess Consort Hua Xiang away. And it was said that he seemed to have a concubine as well.

Mo Yunchen frowned and fell silent for a moment. “Send silver to all the servants in the house to dismiss them. As for Hua Xiang… let her stay at the Prince’s Mansion, and give the two concubines some money to return to their families.”

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "Imperial brother, before you officially arrange things, there's something I want to tell you."

Mo Yunchen nodded slightly, "You say."

"Zi Ling was once poisoned while he was at the Prince's residence."er's emotions didn't show for long. She quickly composed herself, slowly closing her eyes. Perhaps she thought of Fengming's unconscious state; she immediately burst into tears.“...”Just as he put her...
