Chapter 1973: An Xuetang's Uncharacteristic Behavior

hat was going on with Yun Liu over there It had been two months since he left, and if he didn't come back... what would happen to her family's JingCould she really be resorting to the last resort to t...Yun Si smiled, "Don't say that, Old Marquis. And things haven't reached the worst point. Who says the Old Marquis came to our Bei Jiang Wangfu today out of goodwill Isn't there a possibility that the Marquis and his people want to come to our Wangfu to settle accounts"

The Hu clan: “!”

All in the carriage suddenly looked at Yun Si. The old marquis was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what Yun Si meant.

Realizing that Yun Si wanted to help them through this difficult time, Old Master Hou immediately broke into a smile and sighed deeply:

"No wonder your Beijiang Wangfu has been able to withstand so much pressure over the years and still stand strong. King Beijiang and all of you underlings are truly quick-witted."

Yun Si smiled and clasped his hands together. "Lord Hou, you flatter me. We can't help with matters in the imperial palace, but we can certainly take care of things at the front gate of the Northern Border Prince's Mansion."

"Just, I still hope that later if the people from the mansion don't handle things properly, Old Marquis won't blame you."

Upon hearing Yun Si's words, Old Master Hou immediately shook his head. "This old man is certainly not someone who fails to recognize a kindness. Your willingness to lend a hand today and help us through this difficult time is a great favor, and this old man will never forget it."

"In the future, if the Prince's Mansion needs my help, just speak up. As long as I am able, I will definitely do my best."

After he finished speaking, the several sons of Old Master Hou had also realized what Yun Si was trying to do to help them.

Then, they all quickly bowed to Yun Si and thanked him in unison.

Yun Si also didn't linger with them any longer. Since they already knew what to do, at this moment Yun Si exchanged a glance with the youngest man in the carriage.

Two people nodded at each other.

In an instant, Yun Si retracted his gaze, his face darkening. He suddenly took a few steps back.

The young man in the carriage was Hu Dongjie, the brother of the current empress.

After Yun Si retreated a few steps, Hu Dongjie suddenly dashed out of the carriage and jumped off the horse-drawn cart.

He drew the sword from his hand, pointing the tip at Yun Si, and roared, "Get your young master out here! It was him who killed my servant. I have witnesses! Bring him out to face justice!"

Their intention was to create a scene in front of the palace gate, showing the world that the Hu family's visit to Beijang Palace was not a gesture of goodwill.

but to seek revenge.

But I didn't expect Hu Dongjie to use such a flimsy excuse.

Let's not even talk about the fact that there is no entanglement between the prince and the Hu family. Just say, how long has their prince been out of the palace

How could there possibly be a chance that someone killed Hu Dongjie's valet

And what business did the prince have killing a servant of Hu Dongjie when he had nothing better to do

Yun Si was speechless for a moment, but then thought to himself, it's just acting, there's no need to dwell on the logic of this performance.

Thinking this way, Yun Si immediately winked at the guards stationed at the gate of the palace.

These guards drew their swords and rushed forward, and soon both sides were engaged in battle.

In the end, the Hu clan was overpowered by the guards of the Prince's mansion. They were injured and left in disgrace.

With this play, those officials who were waiting to see the Hu family make a mistake had no way to use this matter to impeach the Hu family before the emperor.

After all, with both sides fighting so fiercely right in front of the palace gates, this clearly wasn't a display of goodwill or choosing a master.

After Old Master Hou and the others left, Yun Si ordered someone to clean up the entrance of the mansion and patrol outside for a while. When he saw nothing unusual, he returned to Jingtang Garden and reported the matter to Mo Jun Yi.

Mo Junyi, after listening, let out a wry smile. “The Hu family has been around for a hundred years, I thought they would still cultivate many talented people, but now looking at their new generation, it’s no wonder the Hu family is declining.”

Logically, a person raised by a family with a century-long history shouldn't be as brainless and quick-tempered as Hu Dongjie just now.

She should not be like a queen in the palace, putting all her thoughts on her face and easily being manipulated by others.

Whether it's Hu Dongjie or Empress Hu Jinfeng, neither of them is good at psychological warfare.

And they all have one fatal flaw, namely a lack of intelligence.

But Mo Junyi didn't say anything either. As long as these matters didn't involve their Beijang王府, no matter how people fought inside or outside the palace, he was happy to see it happen.

I hope the conflicts and power struggles between these people continue for a while, at least until his fifth uncle and mother return.

……

Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang's group hardly had any rest after leaving Beijiang City.

They have been on the road constantly.

During this time, Mo Yunjing and Feng Ming were worried that An Xuetang's body wouldn't be able to handle it, so they tried to have her rest at the inn.

Ke An Xue Tang was eager to return home, her attitude firm and resolute. She refused to waste time resting at the inn.

Along the way, they had already changed horses countless times. Even when they stopped to rest, it was never for more than two hours, and An Xue Tang would inevitably wake up.

After waking up and seeing that everyone else was awake, she immediately ordered them to continue their journey, determined to return to the capital as quickly as possible.

An Xuetang's urgency made Mo Yunjing, Feng Ming, and Han Yun all notice that something was wrong with her.

Throughout her life, An Xuetang has always been quite cautious in her actions. Even when she was in a hurry, she would always consider the feelings and well-being of others.

Even though it was clear that everyone was exhausted on this return journey to Beijing, An Xue Tang did not take the initiative to ask them to stop and rest.

This journey is not safe. After leaving Beijang City, they not only encountered Lan Chu Xiao's group, but every five or six hours, they would encounter another wave of assassins.

Although these assassins were no match for Mo Yunjing and Feng Ming, each encounter left everyone physically and mentally drained.

As usual, An Xuetang would usually take the initiative to ask everyone to stop and rest at this time, eating more to replenish their energy.

But these several trips, An Xuetang didn't have such thoughts at all. The urgency on her face was even more unhidden.

On the fifth day since leaving Beijang City, An Xuetang's complexion remained pale throughout the day. Her eyes were dark circles under them, clearly a result of exhaustion and lack of sleep.

After traveling for two hours, Mo Yunjing could no longer bear it and immediately ordered everyone to rest in place.

The moment the carriage came to a stop, An Xuetang suddenly grabbed his wrist, her face grave. "I'm not tired. We only changed horses a few hours ago, and this horse can still run. How about we continue on our journey"

Mòyún's dark and profound eyes stared straight into hers, unreadable. His low voice questioned, "Tángtáng, tell me the truth, what happened"fter Feng Ming left, Han Yun also picked up the body on the ground and walked down the mountain step by step.He didn't return to the village, but instead chose a spot at the foot of a mountain not far...
