Chapter 281: Returning to Beijing Alone?

"I'm not afraid of danger, just trouble."She was a killer in her past life, and she had never been afraid of death since she started this profession.But she's a person who avoids trouble, especially..."Go to Lan Nation"

An Xuetang pursed her lips, her brows furrowing slightly.

Mo Junyi's mood was also somewhat heavy. He hoped to return to Beijing as soon as possible. His father couldn't get away at all; the emperor had sent too many people to watch his father, and his fifth uncle's people couldn't save him.

But his fifth uncle also couldn't rush back to the capital, otherwise he would be walking a dead end.

After all, it's not just the emperor who wants his fifth uncle dead now, those princes are also eager to get rid of him.

Especially now with Mo Yunren, he has been crippled, knowing he no longer has the qualifications to compete for the throne. This man will surely go all out and his Liji Sword School might be preparing at every moment to take the lives of those princes. His fifth uncle is definitely involved in this.

Just as the mother and daughter were deep in thought, a phoenix cry rang out, "Rest assured, he does not need to go to Blue Country himself."

The next moment, his figure appeared at the doorway.

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "Brother, how do you know that my Ah Jing wouldn't go to Lan Guo"

Feng Ming smiled, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "As long as it's something your brother wants to know, nothing is beyond his reach."

Mo Junyi heard his narcissistic words and rolled his eyes directly.

To Feng Ming's surprise, he saw him. Feng Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "A Tang, your adopted son is quite unruly. He has spent two days with me and hasn't even called me uncle once."

Mo Junyi : "..."

He pouted in displeasure, waiting for him to retort, only to hear An Xue Tang say, “Is that so Zi Ling ah, at this time your mother’s brother, you should call him uncle.”

Feng Ming smirked triumphantly, her gaze fixed on Mo Jun Yi.

In the end, Mo Junyi still unwillingly called out: "Uncle."

"Oh, you're so sweet."

Mo Junyi: "!!"

This man is so pushy!

An Xuetang pretended not to see the undercurrent between the two, and at this moment, she only looked at Feng Ming and asked, "Brother, do you know the specifics of what happened in Lan country"

Feng Ming was leisurely sitting on a chair beside him, "Knowing a bit, it's nothing more than the twists and turns of an imperial household, nothing major."

"Huh"

"Lan Chu Xiao has stayed with your husband for so long, yet he still can't learn his way of handling affairs. Blue Chu Rong gave birth to several princes, and he actually wants to spare their lives. This is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain."

"Now, while Lan Chu Rong wasn't very capable himself, he had cultivated quite a number of followers over the years. And among them were many who were fiercely loyal to him. If his sons joined forces with those people, then the throne that Lan Chu Xiao had fought so hard to reclaim would be in grave danger."

"..."

An Xuetang was speechless. This imperial struggle ultimately couldn't escape the fate of bloodshed.

Looking back now, the first time I saw Lan Chu Xiao, he did seem like a kind and compassionate person. However, at that time, kindness and compassion were not a good thing. After all, as long as Lan Chu Rong's sons were still alive, those ambitious officials would have even more reason to rebel against him.

Mo Junyi narrowed his eyes, "Since Lan Churon won't make a move, why don't we help him out Let's just send people to kill those princes. As for the Imperial Guards, without Lan Churon's heir, Lan Chu Xiao has the emperor's last decree in hand. What can they do Don't forget that Lan Chu Xiao not only has the emperor's secret army, but now everyone knows that my fifth uncle is his backer"

Feng Ming appreciated glanced at Mo Jun Yi, "Your temperament is indeed suitable for sitting in that cold-blooded position."

Cold-blooded

Mo Junyi subconsciously looked at An Xuetang. Only then did he realize that he had inadvertently exposed that hidden side of himself.

Now he was afraid that he would see complex eyes in An Xuetang's gaze.

However, luckily, An Xuetang just touched his head and said gently, "The person sitting in that position, as long as they don't kill innocent people, only a cold heart can protect themselves and their loved ones!"

Mo Jun Yi's eyes lit up slightly, "If one day, I become very cold-blooded, wouldn't mother be afraid of me"

An Xuetang chuckled, "No, because I know my Zilin for who he is. Mother will always believe you."

Mo Junyi's heart slowly bloomed with warmth, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

On the side, Feng Ming couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't accept this kind of Mo Junyi. This kid was clearly very cunning, but in front of An Xuetang, he put on this innocent and guileless face, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Mo Jun Yi, don't force me to expose your true colors in front of your mother."

Mo Junyi raised an eyebrow at him, "How I am, my mother knows best. Do you need to expose me"

"Hmph." Feng Ming curled her lips and looked at An Xue Tang, "A-Tang, don't be deceived by this boy's facade. He's small on the outside but big on the inside, quite cunning."

An Xuetang smiled, "Alright alright, can't you two get along By the way, elder brother, I heard from Ajing that you've been teaching Ziling martial arts these past few days My Ziling is quite smart. Elder brother, you must teach him well and pass on all your skills to him. That way, he'll have enough self-defense ability."

Feng Ming wanted to refuse, but when she met An Xue Tang's expectant eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say no.

He sighed at this point, "Alright, let's get back to business. You should all know about the emperor's order to recall King Beijang. What are your plans once King Beijang returns to the capital"

"... "

Mò Jūn Yì and An Xuě Táng looked at each other, both bewildered. They spoke in unison, "Has the Emperor sent an imperial edict"

Feng Ming paused for a moment, "So Mo Yun Jing didn't tell you all"

An Xuetang shook her head. "No, after I woke up yesterday, I didn't have time to talk to Ajing about these things."

Mo Junyi frowned, "No wonder my fifth uncle has been acting so secretive these past few days, forbidding me from approaching the council camp. Is he not planning to bring me and mother back to the capital this time"

Feng Ming gave him a withering look. "Take you and your mother back to the capital to die Even if he were willing, I wouldn't be. You know how dire the situation in the capital is now"

An Xuetang frowned, "So my Ah Jing is planning to return to the capital alone But I want to go back with him to treat Zi Ling's father, he should take me with him, right"

"It's impossible," Feng Ming said, his face darkening. "Don't even talk about him agreeing to take you into the capital. I wouldn't agree to let you go into that den of vipers."

Under the Emperor's watchful eye, even if he and Mo Yunjing were incredibly skilled, they couldn't guarantee her safety.

Mo Junyi lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. After a moment, he looked up at An Xue Tang, "Mother, you really can't enter the capital. The capital is Grandpa Emperor's territory, it's too dangerous."

"Then wouldn't your Fifth Uncle be openly sending himself to his death if he went back But according to the current situation, we can't possibly fight back either. With our current forces, confronting the emperor is like hitting a stone with an egg."

An Xuetang the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Their return to Beijing now was fraught with danger no matter how they planned it, but wasn't her family's A Jing determined to return to Beijingpped her hands nonchalantly and said, "You all get up quickly. I'm just a country girl, there's no need for such elaborate greetings."Chen Jiang: "..."He clenched his fists, gritting his teeth and say...
