, it was dark.When An Xuetang finished her bath and returned to the room, Mo Yunjing on the bed was huddled in a corner."Ah Jing!" An Xue Tang was startled again and hurried over, "Ah Jing, did you ge...Yunliu widened his eyes and looked at Shiyi, "What do we do now"

"Shi, where do you think we should go He scratched his head and frowned, "By the way, don't you think that woman's back looks familiar"

"Familiar with what She's just an ordinary woman. Her looks can't even compare to our princess. Today the prince must have a hole in his head, gone crazy! To let that woman near him."

Yunliu's voice was quite loud, so the two people in the room heard it clearly. Mo Yunjing's face darkened, and he wanted to rush outside to reprimand Yunliu.

Ke An Xuetang, however, promptly covered his mouth. She smiled and said, "Alright, alright, Yunliu doesn't know who I am, does he To be honest, it makes me very happy that he would defend me, as Ke An Xuetang."

Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes, but he didn't really hold it against Yunliu.

At this moment, his gaze, filled with hidden meaning, swept over her attire. "Didn't I tell you not to wear this in front of people"

"Ajing, you're only stopping your wife An Xuetang from wearing it, but I'm not An Xuetang! I am Tang Bai now. An Xuetang can't wear it, but Tang Bai can, right Doesn't that make sense"

Mo Yunjing was amused by her sophistry and chuckled, reaching out to gently tap her nose. "You're always right."

An Xuetang just smiled, she didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly narrowed her eyes, "A Jing, I have something to ask you."

"Hmm."

"Where did you go yesterday You were being so secretive. And, my brother said this has something to do with a woman from the Duke of Anle's residence, what woman What does she have to do with you"

Mo Yunjing knew she would definitely bring it up. He hadn't planned on hiding anything about that woman from her anyway.

He pulled An Xuetang to a chair beside him, and they both sat down. Only then did Mo Yunjing begin to speak slowly.

Originally, the Anle Hou Mansion had two county princesses. Besides Xiao Qin, there was also a half-sister named Xiao Yue.

Just like Xiao Qin, Xiao Yue has loved being by Mo Yunchen's side since she was little, and their relationship is also very good.

While Xiao Yue is different from Xiao Qin, she follows by Mo Yunchen's side mainly because of his identity as the Crown Prince, and she wholeheartedly wants to marry him.

However, the prince had always treated her and Xiaoqin as his own sisters since childhood, so he never considered marrying her.

Xiao Yue was unwilling to marry someone else, so she remained unmarried. Although she had already reached the age of eighteen, her father being the Marquis of Anle protected her and his household from any censure.

Xiao Yue had been delaying her marriage until the Crown Prince got into trouble. She saw this as her chance, thinking that if she helped the Crown Prince clear his name with the Emperor, he would agree to marry her after his release.

So, she secretly entered the palace and became a court lady, without telling Lord Anle.

To be frank, the emperor isn't a fool. With just a little thought, he would know who Xiao Yue entered the palace for.

Thus, the emperor directly made her a concubine. Not only did he sleep with her, but whenever Xiao Yue dared to speak up for the crown prince, the emperor would have her punished.

Thus, back and forth it went, until Xiao Yue finally understood that this emperor wouldn't listen to anyone speak the truth. He simply wanted Mo Yunchen dead, he wanted to frame Mo Yunchen, no matter who tried to explain for Mo Yunchen, he would rather kill them all.

Later, Xiao Yue asked someone to deliver a message to An Le Hou, hoping he could save her from the palace. She couldn't bear the life in the palace anymore, and after receiving her plea for help, An Le Hou did indeed plead with the emperor.

It's a pity, the emperor wasn't tired of playing yet, let alone knowing that Xiao Yuexin was concerned about Mo Yunchen. The emperor only wanted to torture her well and wouldn't let her leave easily.

Thus, Xiao Yue suffered day after day.

Later, the emperor was whispering to an eunuch in her sleeping quarters when she accidentally overheard their conversation. She discovered that this time, the emperor planned to poison Mo Yunjing.

She wasn't familiar with Mo Yunjing, but knowing that he was Mo Yunchen's beloved younger brother, she tried her best to send the news out of the palace to him.

Mòyún Jǐng also escaped unharmed because of her timely warning.

It was because of this incident that Xiao Yue was executed by the emperor.

And the emperor was furious at the time. Not only did he execute Xiao Yue, but he also had her body thrown into the wilderness, with no intention of letting her be buried.

Mo Yunjing's people were watching the Emperor, so after learning about this, he had Xiao Yue's body properly taken care of and laid to rest.

After laying Xiao Yue's body to rest, Mo Yunjing informed the people of An Le Houfu of her burial site at a suitable opportunity.

Mò Yún Jǐng left early that day precisely because it was Shào Yuè's death anniversary. No matter what, Shào Yuè had died because of him, for having informed on the authorities.

So all these years, as long as he was in the capital, he would go to burn incense for her. This time, he went because his elder brother Mo Yunchen entrusted him with a message. Mo Yunchen said it was time to tell Xiao Yue that he had escaped from the emperor's clutches.

After hearing this, An Xue Tang was deeply shocked. She was shocked by this woman named Xiao Yue. How could she be so foolish to try to persuade the Emperor to release Mo Yunchen with her own strength

She didn't even think about it. When the emperor had executed everyone in the crown prince's faction, that was a serious matter! She actually thought she could change the emperor's opinion of Mo Yunchen with her own power

I can only say, this girl is really... unbelievably stupid!

After Mo Yunjing finished speaking, the two fell silent. After An Xue Tang came to her senses, she narrowed her eyes, "So Hua Xiang and the others have always said that you have someone you like in your heart, and that person is Xiao Yue"

"Back then, my men took Xiao Yue's body. My father quickly found out. He questioned me about my relationship with Xiao Yue in front of all the officials. He was trying to silence Anle Hou and prevent him from investigating Xiao Yue's death."

He questioned him in front of all the civil and military officials, forcing Anle Hou to abandon the investigation. Otherwise, he would implicate Xiao Yue with a crime.

"...."

An Xuetang felt a twinge of sadness in her heart. This emperor was truly capable of anything. They say that even after a day, a couple shares a hundred days of kindness. Xiao Yue was, after all, his concubine.

This emperor of dogs is terrifying!

"An Xue Tang pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "So, because of this incident, many people in the capital city misunderstood that there was something wrong between you and Xiao Yue"

"Hmm."

"Why don't you explain"

Mo Yunjing pursed her lips. "How do I explain This is the Emperor questioning me in front of everyone in the court. Do you think the people would believe me over him Besides...I've never cared about my reputation."

Before An Xue Tang appeared, he truly never cared about his reputation or how the world perceived the 'tragic' love story between him and Xiao Yue.

"An Xuetang sighed softly, "Well, it turns out the truth is like this. You should have told me sooner. You didn't know that Mo Yunze also said such ambiguous things in my ear, I was uneasy for a long time."

Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes, "What are you nervous about Don't you trust me, Tangtang"ng to say that the northern army possesses a secret weapon, one with immense power."The emperor turned his head, his sharp and gloomy eyes fixed on An Xuetang and the others below the imperial city.He...
