Chapter 685: Then, Who Was He?

re all punished by the emperor with an imperial decree for their households to be raided!" "Is this emperor so capriciousAn Xue Tang was speechless."Why didn't the Fifth Prince rebel Could it be that...Hearing Feng Ming say this, An Xue Tang also sighed, "That's right, and I think A Jing's mother is actually the root of the problem. Many things, if you think about them carefully, seem to be related to her!"

Feng Ming’s clear and cold eyes narrowed slightly, “A Tang, you continue. This seat wants to see just how many more questions you can come up with.”

An Xue Tang nodded slightly, she thought about it seriously. Mo Yun Jing's mother's line was almost like this, she left some blank spaces. If she remembered anything else later, she could add it then.

Then, An Xue Tang extended a line from the one connecting her and Mo Yun Jing, heading north with the inscription "Bei Jiang City." She pondered, she and Mo Yun Jing had nothing else of value that could be coveted except for Bei Jiang City.

Phoenix saw her pause and then spoke, "Brother, I heard that the city of Beijang was fought for by Mother for their elder brother, Mo Yunchen. The emperor of Tianba Nation never liked Mo Yunjing and never intended to grant him a fiefdom. But when Mo Yunchen and the Empress at the time persuaded him, he finally gave Beijang to him."

After hearing Feng Ming's words, An Xue Tang fell silent for a while, then suddenly looked up and said, "That's not right, elder brother, you mean that it was A Jing's mother and the Crown Prince who asked the Emperor for the Northern Border"

"Well, that's what I heard from my brother."

An Xuetang frowned and shook her head slightly, "No, this isn't right."

Feng Ming raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong"

Before Ajing went there, the northern border was the most dangerous place in Tianba Kingdom. There were constant wars, so sending young Ajing, who was only in his teens at the time, to take charge felt like sending him to his death.

An Xuetang tightened her grip on the plum charcoal. "Logically, since Ajing's mother and elder brother love him so much, they shouldn't have sent him to the Northern Border."

Given the empress's status and Mo Yunchen's favored position with the emperor, they could have easily requested a more peaceful fief for Ajing. Why choose the most dangerous border region of Bei Jiang instead

"What An Xue Tang was saying is also something that Feng Ming didn't understand, but he still reminded her, "A Tang, you mustn't forget about Mo Yun Jing and the relationship between Lan Guo."

After Feng Ming reminded her, An Xue Tang also remembered that Mo Yun Jing was the grandson of the emperor of Lan Guo at that time.

However... Mo Yunjing also said that when he first went to the northern border, he was on the battlefield and personally led troops. That means, even if he has some connection with the Blue Nation, in the face of national interests, what does this remaining blood relationship amount to

Given Mo Yunjing's mother and his brother's intelligence, it is impossible that they didn't think of this. Yet, they still sent Mo Yunjing to the Northern Border. What do they intend

The most important thing is, Mo Yunchen seems to be unaware of the relationship between them and the emperor of Lan Guo... So in this situation, why did he still send Mo Yunjing to Bei Jiang

Could it be... he's already guessed the current situation

Thinking of this, An Xuetang's heart grew cold, because her family's Ajing going to the northern border was most likely a plot by his mother and older brother.

An Xuetang stood rooted to the spot, her expression unreadable. No one knew what she was thinking, but her face had visibly darkened.

At this moment, Feng Ming reached out and touched her head, "No matter what, Mo Yun Jing is still alive and well, and he has met you, hasn't he"

"A Tang, you should think like this: If he hadn't gone to the northern border, if he hadn't been tricked by others, perhaps your relationship wouldn't have happened. All of this is cause and effect."

As for Feng Ming's comforting words, An Xuetang simply hummed, "I know, but I'm just afraid that Ajing's years of hard work and effort will eventually become his 'foolishness and ignorance', so he will be played around like a puppet."

"Don't think too much, everything is undecided."

An Xuetang hummed in response, she had come back to her senses and continued to scribble on the paper. She added parentheses after the three characters "North Border City", writing inside: Mother, Mo Yunchen.

Then, An Xuetang branched out from Mo Yunren's line with two more, one reading 'Lijiang Sect', and the other 'The Prime Minister's Mansion'. Both Lijiang Sect and The Prime Minister's Mansion belonged to Mo Yunren's faction.

So far, it seems that besides the Lijiang Sect attacking her and Mo Yunjing, there hasn't been any movement from the Chancellor's Residence. An Xuetang doesn't know what the Chancellor is thinking at all.

As An Xue Tang didn't know much about Mo Yun Ren yet, she only wrote these two lines.

Next, An Xuetang narrowed her eyes and tapped the name Mo Yunze with the plum blossom charcoal in her hand.

Mo Yunze, at this point in time, seems to have a very clear goal: he wants to ascend the Dragon Throne. Everything he does appears to be aimed at clearing obstacles in his path to achieving that.

It seems that Mo Yunren is now disabled and poses no threat to Mo Yunze. Now, Mo Yunze's target is set on Mo Yunjing. Of course, there are other princes and the emperor, but these princes are still young and are no match for Mo Yunze.

An Xuetang drew two lines from Mo Yunze's name, one was Master Ming Deng, and the other was Empress Hu Jinfeng of the current dynasty.

The sayings of Master Ming Deng have a certain amount of influence, especially his prophecies about An Xue Tang. Since everyone took them as true, many people wanted to obtain An Xue Tang, such as Mo Yun Ze and Bai Feng!

I've met the current empress, An Xuetang, but she doesn't seem very intelligent. However, her ability to control the court ladies likely comes from Mo Yunze giving her advice behind the scenes.

An Xuetang suddenly remembered what the little monk had told her at Jinchuan Temple, but she didn't know if Mo Yunze knew that it was the Empress who had killed his wife.

After finishing Mo Yunze's story, An Xuetang wrote about the third princess, Mo Rongyan. Mo Rongyan is currently suffering from a chronic poison, inflicted by her bedside companion, Xi Zibo.

As the prince of Xiliang, Xi Zibo seemed to be living a quiet life after becoming the son-in-law of Tianba. However, because of his attempt to poison Mo Rongyan, An Xuetang suspected that he might not be as simple as he appeared on the surface.

He secretly contacted Xi Zi P'er, the sister of Xi Liang country. The siblings might be plotting something big, but as for what exactly, An Xue Tang needed to stay in touch with Xi Zi Ke'er and have her keep a close eye on things.

An Xue Tang's gaze finally settled on the three characters 'Mo Yun Chen'. She stared at this name in silence for a while, her mind filled with many things, including Mo Yun Jing telling her that it was highly likely that Mo Yun Chen was not the emperor's son.

After all, the letter Mo Yunjing found in the Cold Palace was enough to prove that the former empress did not deny the content of the letter. In other words, the former empress did not deny the claim that Mo Yunchen was not the son of her elder brother.

Then, is Mok Yunchen really the emperor's son If not, who is heers into the mountains.After entering the mountains, An Xuetang handed the map to Yun Yi. "You must carefully look at the markings on it," she said. "Maps and reality often differ by a hair's breadth,...
