Chapter 2041: Silent as a Mouse

at Mo Yunjing had left.An Xuetang wasn't stupid. Seeing their expressions and eyes at this moment, she immediately guessed that Mo Yunjing had left.Her eyes darkened, but she still feigned indifferenc...The moment Xiaoqin stepped into the Bei Jiang Wangfu, the guards of the mansion had already rushed to Jing Tang Yuan and reported the news to the Princess of Bei Jiang.

Upon learning that Xiaoqin had arrived, An Xuetang and the others instantly beamed with delight.

At this time, An Xuetang couldn't bother to vie with Feng Ming and Han Yun for the chance to hold Pingping and An'an.

She walked out to Jingtang Garden on her own, wanting to greet Xiaoqin personally.

After all, the two hadn't seen each other in a long time and missed each other very much.

When she saw Xiaoqin walking towards her, tears streaming down her face, her mind went blank. Her thoughts became jumbled, and her brow furrowed in confusion.

Coming to her senses, she hurried over to meet him.

"Qiner, what's wrong..." Before she could even finish her question, Xiao Qin rushed towards her and, without even bothering with a greeting, threw herself into her arms, sobbing uncontrollably.

She was previously weeping silently, but now she's crying loudly.

Xiao Qin's actions caused An Xue Tang and the others to look worried.

Ning'er pursed her lips and gave Xiaoqin a long, hard look, her gaze fixed on Xiaoqin's abdomen.

She still thought there might be something wrong with Xiaoqin's baby in her womb.

An Xuetang furrowed her brows, gently patting Xiao Qin's back at this moment, soothingly saying, "Don't be afraid, Qin'er. Don't get excited first. Tell me what's going on, and I'll solve it."

Although An Xue Tang had tried to comfort her, Xiao Qin's sobs continued unabated.

"This made An Xuetang look at the maid who accompanied her, her voice sinking to a low murmur. 'Is something wrong with the Ye residence Or is there some danger to your Master Ye How could your mistress be crying like this' "

Not to mention An Xuetang was completely bewildered, the maid who followed Xiaoqin was also utterly confused.

She and her house lady left the Ye residence when everything appeared perfectly normal.

And the journey from Ye Mansion to Beijang Wangfu was also extremely smooth, with no setbacks whatsoever.

Logically speaking, upon arriving at the Prince's Mansion of Beijang, she should have been happy as a county princess. However, the moment her family's county princess stepped onto the grounds of the Prince's Mansion of Beijang, she began to cry.

She was also confused and had no idea what happened.

"Upon facing An Xue Tang's inquiry, the maidservant curtsied and stammered nervously, 'Your Highness, I...I don't know what happened. When my lady and I left the estate, everything seemed normal within the mansion, and Master Ye was unharmed as well.'"

"This answer made her brow relax."

He froze for a moment, exchanging glances with Ning'er beside him. Then, both of them suddenly realized something.

An Xuetang's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed, a helpless smile spreading across her face. "Alright, alright, stop crying. I'm back safe and sound, there was no danger at all, Qiner don't worry."

She also just remembered that Xiaoqin was pregnant.

Pregnant women experience significant emotional fluctuations due to hormonal changes within their bodies.

Sometimes she inexplicably changes her mood. Xiaoqin's crying probably has something to do with hormonal imbalances in her body.

Xiao Qin didn't know what came over her. In any case, after confirming that the Northern Border Princess had truly returned safely, she cried uncontrollably, unable to hold herself together at all.

After crying in An Xue Tang's arms for a while, she gradually calmed down.

As soon as she felt stable, Xiao Qin blushed and gently pushed away An Xue Tang. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.

How could she be so embarrassing

She burst into tears and made a scene in front of so many people! Someone who didn't know what was going on would have thought the world was ending for her!

After Xiaoqin pushed away An Xietang, her maid, as always understanding her mistress, quickly brought up a clean handkerchief.

Xiao Qin took the handkerchief and wiped her face haphazardly. At this moment, not only were her eyes red, but her cheeks were also flushed with shame.

Seeing her like this, An Xuetang let out a giggle and pulled her inside. "Relax, the people in our Beijang王府 are very tight-lipped. No one will spread word about what Lady Ye did at the mansion today, so Lady Ye needn't worry."

Xiao Qin: "..." Listening to An Xue Tang's teasing, she felt embarrassed and kept silent.

He lowered his head and followed An Xue Tang into the courtyard all the way.

An Xue Tang led her to the guest room and had someone bring hot water so Xiao Qin could wash up thoroughly.

......

When Xiao Qin had recovered and smoothed her disheveled appearance, she raised her eyes to meet An Xue Tang's gaze. She looked up and down at An Xue Tang and asked, "Has the Princess been injured on your journey"

An Xuetang smiled, "That's not true. I have my older brother and Master Han along with me on this journey. They wouldn't let me get hurt."

Xiao Qin let out a breath of relief, "That's good then."

No sooner had she said the words than Xiao Qin, as if remembering something, her expression suddenly turned solemn. She lowered her voice and said, "By the way, Your Highness, did you know that the Second Prince was assassinated last night and lost his life"

"...that, An Xuetang actually didn't know yet."

After Mo Jun Yi and Mo Jun Yi left Jing Tang Yuan, she coaxed Ping Ping and An An, the two children, with Feng Ming and Han Yun.

Their conversation revolved only around the two children, Pingping and An'an, and their feeding in recent times.

He did not care about what happened outside Jingtang Garden.

So the news of Mo Yunren's death hadn't reached her yet.

At the mention of this, Xiaoqin's eyebrows shot up in surprise, but she quickly recovered.

Yesterday, her Northern Border Prince already said that those people in the capital should be properly reorganized.

At that moment, she knew that Mo Yun Jing must be about to take action.

She didn't ask about the specifics of what he was going to do.

It is likely that Mo Yunren's sudden death has something to do with Mo Yunjing.

She'll ask him about it more carefully later.

Now she looked at Xiaoqin, “With Mo Yunren's death, there will surely be turmoil in the court. After returning to Ye Mansion, Qin'er, you should remind Lord Ye well. These days, don't draw attention to yourself, and be careful.”

"The emperor of today is no longer the emperor he once knew. If the emperor summons him to the palace these days, he must send word to our Beijang Prince's Mansion before entering."

Now the emperor is under Zhi'er's control, though she can see that the blood gu in Zhi'er's body isn't powerful enough to constantly restrain the emperor.

But the emperor was mostly influenced by Chi'er.

If Lord Ye draws too much attention during this time, Zhi'er might use the Emperor's power to destroy the Ye family.

Therefore, at this time, it is wise to be low-key and not stand out.

Xiao Qin didn't know what An Xue Tang meant by that, so she didn't ask any further at the moment and just agreed.

......

The two chatted for a while in the guest room, and Xiao Qin suddenly became delighted, "By the way, Your Highness, would you allow me to see the two young masters"

She had long wanted to see with her own eyes the two sons born to An Xuetang.

But the Ye residence and the Bei Jiang Wangfu are not close to each other.

Moreover, there are many spies in the capital city keeping an eye on both Ye Mansion and Bei Jiang Wangfu. She dared not come here rashly.

Today, since she had finally gotten into the palace, of course she wanted to go see those two children.

An Xuetang would naturally not refuse. After Xiaoqin proposed, she took her to find Pingping and An'an.

They had just come out of the guest house when they saw Yun Liu staggering in with his injured body.r found out about this, would it bring disasterThe Emperor had known all along, of course. He knew that the daughter he had in the countryside was the one who had saved the King of Bei Jiang, and also...
