Chapter 846: The Prince's Game

Princess Consort."But the people who seek out Tang Valley are An Xue Tang's people. To put it plainly, they only take orders from An Xue Tang. Now Yun Wu means for them to keep their true master a sec...The voice came from outside the mansion, it was the original owner's mother, Liu Lan.

Liulan was outside the palace at this time

Liu Lan obviously wanted to come in; she wanted to see An Xue Tang, but the guard didn't let her.

Liu Lan would rather barge in, but she didn't want to. There was no way around it; she hadn't forgotten that An Xue Tang had poisoned her, forcing her to bring news about Mo Yun Ze every half month in exchange for the antidote.

Although it hasn't been half a month yet, she has already noticed something unusual about her body, especially this morning when she woke up and found that a large amount of hair had fallen out, which scared her completely.

Now she has gained the emperor's favor, all thanks to her beauty. If she were to lose this, even the most heartless emperor would dispose of her immediately.

After all, her identity is rather embarrassing.

She is very self-aware about this.

Therefore, it is known that after returning to Beijing, An Xuetang must hurry out of the palace to ask An Xuetang for the antidote.

The reason why An Xue Tang's return was known was because the Emperor was staying in her palace tonight. Before the Emperor and An Xue Tang went to sleep, someone hurried to report to the Emperor that the King of the Northern Border had entered the city.

The emperor hurriedly left, while she told him that she was worried about An Xuetang and came out to have a look.

The emperor also wanted to investigate the situation with the princess in the north, as the conclusions drawn from spies and firsthand observation would likely differ.

Thus, the emperor hardly hesitated and ordered someone to send Liu Lan to the Beijang Royal Manor.

I didn't expect that Mo Yunjing had already ordered it, no one was allowed to enter the mansion tonight.

So even if Liu Lan's true identity was known, the gatekeeper refused to let her in.

Even if Liu Lanliang revealed her identity as a noble consort, she would not be allowed to enter the Beijang王府.

At this moment, An Xuetang heard Liu Lan making a loud fuss at the door. Her sharp eyes narrowed slightly. She immediately turned and walked out.

"The young master was taken aback, "My lady, are we returning to Jingtang Garden now"

An Xuetang shook her head slightly, "No, we should go drive away some brainless people first."

What Doesn't have a brain

An Xuetang was already walking outside, Kang'er hadn't figured it out, but she still followed An Xuetang away.

At this moment, An Xue Tang didn't notice. She wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation between Mo Yun Jing and Yun Si, but now she had forgotten about it. Moreover, she didn't realize that even though she was constantly using her skills, she couldn't hear a word of what Mo Yun Jing and Yun Si were saying.

Mo Yunjing already knew that An Xuetang's ears were very sensitive and that she could hear many things. So, when he and Yun Si turned around not long ago, Yun Si was just about to speak, but he stopped him.

Yun Si was a little confused. He thought there might be someone around, but when he looked up, he didn't see anyone.

What's even stranger is that instead of going to his study, he took him to the farthest courtyard. This place was at least a mile away from Jingtang Garden.

What exactly is the prince guarding against

Mo Yunjing stopped and turned, his face expressionless. "What's the matter in Bei Jiang"

Yun Si arched his hands and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, three days ago, this subordinate was unclear about the situation and feared that Your Highness might be in danger. So, I sent a letter to the young master who was far away in Beijiang, asking him to send some people back to rescue Your Highness and the princess."

Moyu Jing frowned, "Has Ziling replied to the letter I sent him"

"No."

Mo Yunjing's eyes were deep and he remained silent for a moment before saying, "Write a letter to the North Border. Tell them that everything is fine here. Also, instruct Yun Yi to lead the Yun Family Army out of the North Border camp. As for Zi Ling, let him choose for himself. If he doesn't want to leave the North Border, then let him stay by his elder brother's side."

"!"

Yun Si was stunned by his words. After reacting, he quickly knelt on one knee and said, "Your Highness, absolutely not! Bei Jiang City is the result of your years of hard work, Your Highness. If we withdraw at this time, wouldn't Bei Jiang completely fall into the hands of the Crown Prince"

Mo Yunjing's eyes were lowered, her eyelashes hiding the mockery in them. One couldn't tell who she was mocking.

After a moment of silence, Mo Yunjing looked at Yun Si faintly, "Get up first."

Yun Si hadn't received an answer, and he couldn't rise. He continued, "Your Highness, please reconsider. It's not just the Northern Frontier, but also the Princess. She has taken control of Nian Yun City. If you truly allow Yun Yi to leave the Northern Frontier with his men, then…both the Northern Frontier and Nian Yun City...we're afraid we might never be able to return."

The prince is now ambitious, and he still has his own old subordinates. These years, he pretended to be weak, letting the princes interfere in everything about him. But the prince's men are obviously very strong!

Over the years, he deliberately concealed his strength. Now that he had successfully left the capital, he eagerly gathered his old comrades. Yun Si didn't believe their prince wouldn't be able to see through the ambition of the prince.

Facing Yun Si's objection, Mo Yun Jing remained expressionless. He just glanced at Yun Si lightly and said, "Do you think this Beijang can be withheld if this king doesn't want to give it"

"! "

Yun Si was taken aback, her gaze fixed on Mo Yunjing with a hint of bewilderment. What did the prince mean

Mo Yunjing's pitch-black eyes shot out bursts of cold light, a bone-chilling coldness that froze everything around him instantly, making people feel as if they were in an ice cellar.

Sensing Mo Yunjing's emotions, Yun Si was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard Mo Yunjing's emotionless voice:

"When this king went to the northern border, it was arranged by my elder brother. In the camp of the northern border, besides Yun Yi and Yun San, don't forget there are several capable deputy generals. They have followed this king for these years and seem indifferent, but think carefully, they have gained the hearts of the northern army over these years. If they choose a new master, what do you think those northern troops would do"

"!"

Yun Si was shocked. He knew those lieutenants well; though they weren't part of the Yun Army, they were battle-hardened and over the years, they hadn't actively sought advancement. Instead, they had earned respect for their steadfastness and competence.

But their abilities are obvious to all, so most of the Northern Frontier army was personally led by them. If it were based on emotion, Prince and Yun et al. didn't have the same deep connection with the soldiers as they did.

As for their strength, they never hid behind the scenes. Every time, they personally went to the battlefield. Moreover, the orders given by the prince and Yun Yi were delivered personally by them to the soldiers. In the eyes of the soldiers, they must be capable!

If the prince and princess were well in Beijang, then those Beijang troops naturally acknowledged the prince. But if someone deliberately spread rumors that the prince had an accident in the capital, then...the army's morale would definitely be shaken.

When the prince comes out, as the elder brother of the king, and over these years, who in the Beiqiang camp doesn't know that the king trusts his older brother the most

Once the morale of the army begins to waver, as long as the Crown Prince steps forward in time, there is no reason why those northern troops would not obey the Crown Prince.

Furthermore... the prince is ambitious, and those lieutenants are his people. ... As long as he promises various benefits to those soldiers who are willing to die for him, this northern border will indeed sooner or later fall into his pocket. After all, those soldiers, who doesn't want to make a name for themselves As long as they follow the prince, once successful, perhaps they can even be awarded the title of general or marquis!

Under such immense temptation, who can guarantee that those soldiers won't waver

No wonder he had seen a hint of self-deprecation in the prince's eyes just now.

It turns out that all these years, the prince had been wholeheartedly protecting and loving his elder brother. But that brother had set a trap from the very beginning. The prince had been caught in this trap for many years, and everything he had fought so hard to achieve was actually paving the way for the crown prince.

This prince... his mind is incredibly sharp. Once a person like this gains power, who knows what will happen next

At this moment, Yun Si's face was pale, and he didn't dare to think any further. covered her eyes.Then, a sinister voice rang in her ear, "Is even this small matter beyond your capabilities""!!!"Listening to the tone of his voice, it's clear that Mo Yunjing is angry.At this momen...
