Chapter 1042: A Stubborn Heart

sten.She covered her ears and walked forward, not knowing where the road led.But before she had taken a few steps, Jiang Qingyang rushed to her side and blocked her path.So, she turned around and walk...After that, he stood up, took off his outer garment and turned to hang it aside. Only then did he take off his shoes and lie back down on the bed.

An Xuetang's confusion in her eyes hadn't been resolved. When he lay down beside her and naturally pulled her into his arms, she finally asked the question that had puzzled her, "What is Han Yun doing here in the middle of the night"

Mòyúnjǐng didn't hide anything from her and directly told nxuetang about Hányún's purpose for coming tonight.

As Mo Yunjing had expected, An Xuetang smiled after listening, and said with a slight hint of helplessness, "This Han Yun, I didn't realize he was so stubborn."

Even though he had received such a great kindness, repaying it for so many years, even his father had given his life for it. Such a huge debt of gratitude should be settled now.

But both father and son were stubborn. At this point, Han Yun still wanted to protect those unworthy people.

An Xuetang listened with some dismay, but this was Han Yun's personal choice, and she didn't have much to say.

Mo Yunjing's face was pressed against An Xuetang's head, his deep voice saying in her ear, "If there's ever a day when we meet head-on, I won't let him lose his life."

An Xuetang smiled, "I'm not worried about that. But what if Zhao Li were to have an accident in the capital, how would Xuan Guo react"

The Emperor of Xuan Guo was seriously ill, but he knew that Zhao Li's abilities were not enough to convince the other princes. Therefore, he endured and allowed Zhao Li to personally seek support from others.

"He's thinking of burning all bridges," An Xuetang sneered. "If that's the case, wouldn't it be easier to change the ruler of Xuan country if we gave the other princes backing"

Mo Yunjing chuckled softly, "Mmm."

"I understand. I'll do whatever it takes from now on. Besides, Xiao Ba's older brother is also capable, isn't he For us, it would be more beneficial to have Xiao Ba's older brother take that position."

Mo Yunjing placed his hand on her waist, "I'll take care of this, don't worry about it. It's late, go to sleep."

"Well, speaking of Xiao Ba, I suddenly remembered Zi Ling. I wonder how he's doing all by himself up north."

When Mo Junyi was mentioned, Mo Yunjing's eyes darkened slightly, but he still said, "My elder brother only has Ziling as a child now, he wouldn't do anything to him."

An Xuetang frowned slightly. She didn't trust Mo Yunchen at all. That cold-blooded and ruthless person, who was ungrateful, she wished Mo Jundi would stay away from him.

She hasn't received any messages from Mo Junyi for several days, it seems like she will have to send someone to check on him tomorrow.

But she didn't continue the topic with Mo Yunjing, instead she simply nestled into his arms, "Well, let's sleep for a bit longer, I'm tired."

Mo Yunjing planted a kiss on her head, "Mm."

……

Knowing that Han Yun was unwilling to help, Zhao Li couldn't sleep all night. He was naturally dissatisfied and angry with Han Yun's actions.

But he was helpless against Han Yun, here after all wasn't Xuan Country, there were limits to what he could do.

It was precisely this sense of powerlessness that made him eager to end the trip as soon as possible.

The longer he stayed in the Tianba Kingdom, the more uneasy he felt. Coupled with the fact that he had lost so many men last night, he sensed danger.

Thus, early that morning, he brought his confidante to formally pay homage to the King of Beijiang.

This time, Mo Yunjing did not refuse to let him into the manor.

Mò Yúnjǐng and An Xuětǎng were seated in the main seats of the living room. Yún Sì led Zhào Lì and Zhōu Zhìyào in.

As the prince of Xuan Kingdom, Zhao Lizhi naturally did not give Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang a grand salute. However, Zhou Zhiyao did pay his respects properly.

Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang both gave a faint response. Zhao Li looked at the invisible and nodded. Her calm demeanor was completely different from what he had imagined.

Technically, Mo Yunjing and the other person should have stood up to greet him, but these two seemed to completely disregard him as the prince of Xuan Guo. They sat calmly in their seats, looking at him, which made him very unhappy.

Mo Yunjing, well, that's understandable. After all, he has the means to do so. But in Zhao Li's eyes, this An Xue Tang is just a country girl who has probably never met anyone of high status in her life. So it's only natural that she would be intimidated after seeing him, the most favored prince of Xuan Guo at present.

At this moment, An Xue Tang completely overturned his previous understanding, which aroused his curiosity.

Looking at An Xue Tang's calm demeanor, he didn't know why, but a rather complicated emotion arose in his heart, but more importantly, a sense of foreboding.

He had always thought that the mysterious Northern Border Princess would be someone beneath him, but seeing her today, he realized how wrong he was.

At this moment, An Xuetang was seated steadily before him, clad in a crimson flowing gown. Her features were exquisite, captivating one's gaze at first glance. It is probable that few women in this world could compare to her beauty.

Especially the bearing she exuded, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a noblewoman from a prestigious family. How could someone like this possibly be a country bumpkin

Zhao Li's eyes never left An Xue Tang, Mo Yun Jing's hand moved slightly, and in the next instant, Zhao Li suddenly knelt on both knees.

"Your Highness!"

Zhou Zhiyao was startled and rushed over, quickly helping Zhao Li up.

Mo Yunjing remained expressionless, and as Zhao Li looked up to speak, his unhurried voice rang out, "Even if the Third Prince is seeing this King's wife for the first time, there's no need for such a grand bow."

"... "

Zhao Li clenched his fists, the curse he almost blurted out was held back with great difficulty.

He couldn't possibly not know that Mo Yunjing was punishing him for staring at his wife just now.

Zhou Zhiyao glanced at his own lord, then quickly looked at the Beijang King and Beijang Princess seated in the main position.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Zhao Li didn't speak for a moment. The entire living room fell silent, the atmosphere taking on a strange and chilling stillness.

An Xuetang calmly picked up the teacup beside her and took a slow sip.

After putting down her teacup, An Xuetang turned to Zhao Li and Zhou Zhiyao, taking the initiative to break the awkward silence.

"Third Prince, you came early. Is there something you need to tell our Lord Since you're here, why don't you sit down first"

After An Xue Tang finished speaking, Yun Si immediately stepped forward and gestured to Zhao Li, "Third Prince, please take a seat."

Zhao Li could only swallow his anger. After all, he was the one who had been staring straight at the Princess of Beijiang. If they really came to blows, he would be the one losing face.

And today, he actually had something important to discuss with Mo Yunjing, so at this moment, he could only follow the words of the Princess of Beijiang and sit down.

Zhou Zhiyao respectfully stood behind him, his face though composed, his heart was already in turmoil.

He could become the third prince's confidant and accompany the third prince on his mission to Tianba Kingdom, all because of his good martial arts skills.

When the Northern Frontier King made his move, he didn't notice at all.

When did this Northern Border King's skills become so terrifyingingyang's father found any clues, he naturally wouldn't let her go."Yun 4 came back to his senses and slowly stood up. He said to Mo Junyi, 'Your Highness, you don't have to worry for now. I'll go out...
