Chapter 89: Just Flip It

r, but his fingers were long and slender, with distinct knuckles. They felt big and hard to the touch, strong and capable. She rather liked it.This man, if his legs were not disabled, would definitely...An Xuetang didn't purposely go to understand the current affairs of this era, but now listening to Dong Ge'er say this, she narrowed her eyes:

"If this emperor is so incompetent and the people are suffering, why isn't anyone rebelling What's the point of keeping such an emperor Wouldn't it be better to overthrow him"

"Hush!" Dong'er was startled by her bold words, "Sister, a slip of the tongue can cause trouble, don't speak carelessly."

"What are you afraid of It's so remote here, the Emperor can't possibly reach us. I have nothing to worry about." An Xue Tang was unconcerned. "By the way, are you sure that Fifth Prince is truly dead What do you mean about the Crown Prince being sentenced to death"

"Dong Ge sighed, 'After the crown prince was deposed, he was kept in prison by the emperor. Back then, the emperor wanted to execute the crown prince directly, but thanks to the fifth prince's protection, the crown prince managed to survive. Now that the fifth prince is in trouble, the emperor has no more scruples and naturally wants to execute the crown prince again.'"

"What did the prince do back then"

"Dong Ge'er shook his head, "It is said that the Crown Prince is extremely intelligent, with great foresight and decisiveness. Not only is he humble and open-minded, but he also listens to all sides. If he were to become emperor, he would undoubtedly be a truly remarkable ruler. He is the person scholars admire and respect the most."

After he finished speaking, Dong'er sighed as if regretful. “It’s a pity, the current emperor is incompetent and narrow-minded. He doesn’t know where he heard from some treacherous villain that the crown prince was planning a rebellion, so he didn’t even investigate and condemned the crown prince!”

"Then what about his supporters Didn't they speak up for him What about the Prince Consort"

The Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince's mothers had long since passed away. That year, almost everyone in the Crown Prince's household was implicated in a massacre, and several ministers bravely spoke out against it. In the end, they were all punished by the emperor with an imperial decree for their households to be raided!

" "

Is this emperor so capricious

An Xue Tang was speechless.

"Why didn't the Fifth Prince rebel Could it be that the Emperor threatened him with his son's life"

An Xuetang propped her chin, "This is normal thinking."

"Oh. The Fifth Prince is known as the War God of the Northern Border. He has been stationed in the Northern Border since he came of age, and hasn't returned to the capital for many years. The year the Crown Prince was deposed, he almost had his military power taken back by the emperor. If it hadn't been for a battle in the Northern Border that year, the city of the Northern Border almost fell, the Fifth Prince would definitely have been dealt with by the emperor."

So the fifth prince used the matter of going to war to negotiate with the emperor, thus protecting the crown prince and his family

"That's right," Dong said, his face grim. "But the emperor has ordered that the Fifth Prince, without a royal decree, can only remain in Bei Jiang City. Should he leave Bei Jiang, the Fifth Prince will be branded a traitor."

An Xue Tang: "..." This emperor has a hole in his head, doesn't he

No matter what, both the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince are his sons. Don't you know that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs

But she had also heard that the Imperial Family is devoid of emotion

Having gotten a general understanding of things, An Xue Tang patted Dong Ge'er on the shoulder:

"Alright, reading and writing can be a form of self-cultivation. Who says reading and writing must necessarily lead to achieving fame No matter what you choose to do, sister supports you and is on your side."

Donge'er was deeply moved by her words, "Sister..."

"Don't, don't, don't." An Xue Tang saw tears in Dong Ge'er's eyes, and she quickly stopped him. "A man shouldn't be so fussy. Come on, it's really late, go home and rest."

"Sister, you haven't told me yet... how did you end up looking like this"

"Well," An Xuetang smiled, "Didn't Lin and Yang Xiao suspect I was possessed by some demon or ghost before"

"Well."

They hired a half-baked monk, and heard they were planning to burn me alive. Naturally, I couldn't let them get away with it, so I made myself look like this to scare them. I believe that in the days to come, they'll behave themselves.

Dong Ge'er gave An Xue Tang a thumbs up. "Sis, that was really impressive."

"So-so, third in the world."

The two sisters smiled.

An Xue Tang pushed Dong Ge'er, "Alright, you should go back now."

"Shall I take you home"

An Xuetang rolled her eyes. "Do you think anyone would dare to do anything to me looking like this I'm lucky they haven't fainted."

Dong Ge'er took a look at the eerie face she had drawn and couldn't help but shiver.

An Xuetang smiled, “Go back, I’m going back too.”

After that, she turned around briskly and waved her hand. "Goodbye, come to my sister's place for breakfast tomorrow."

Dong Ge'er did not answer, and only after watching her figure disappear in the distance did he turn around and go home.

An Xuetang hurried home to wash her face and change her clothes.

She slowed her steps to the bedside, and Mo Yunjing suddenly spoke, "Tangtang, I'm not asleep yet."

An Xuetang instantly relaxed, she thought she had woken him up by being too noisy.

"Why aren't you asleep It's late."

Mo Yunjing did not answer the question, but instead asked, "How is things going with Tangtang"

"Perfect," An Xuetang couldn't help but smile. "Liu Shi figured it out on her own, but I imagine she'll need some time to process the fact that she was the one who killed her own daughter with her own hands."

As for the Lin family, mother and daughter, they are much braver than I thought. After this, they will probably be sick in bed for quite a few days.

And that deceitful monk, well he doesn't need mentioning either. He's probably running far away with all sorts of injuries right now.

Mo Yunjing smirked, "Is Tangtang happy"

"Mhm mhm mhm, of course." An Xuetang didn't hide her excitement at all. "Oh, by the way, I ran into Dongge on my way back just now."

Mo Yun Jing's dark and deep pupils narrowed slightly, "Today is not a holiday."

"Yeah, I thought about that too. That's why I asked him just in case something happened. You know what he said to me"

"What do you say"

"Our Dong Ge is still someone who cares about national affairs. He said he doesn't want to take the imperial examinations, and he doesn't want to serve a tyrannical ruler."

Mo Yunjing: "..."

"Dongge'er told me that the one on the dragon throne now is the one who ordered the execution of the former Crown Prince."

Mò Yún Jǐng's whole body stiffened, his expression blank.

In the darkness, An Xue Tang didn't notice his abnormality and continued to speak:

To say this current emperor is a dog is enough, no matter what. Doesn't the eldest prince belong to him He just ordered his own son to be executed, he really has a heart of stone.

To me, the Fifth Prince back then should have been more ruthless and just launched a rebellion directly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Oh, what a tragedy!

Mò Yúnjǐng was silent for a long time, so long that An Xuětáng thought he had fallen asleep. After she finished speaking to herself, she didn't get a response from him and was about to close her eyes to sleep.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, Mo Yunjing's voice suddenly rang out, "Tangtang also thinks that the Fifth Prince should rebel"is dangerous mission, even though it was fraught with peril and could cost him his life.""...."Hua Duo'er listened more and more, feeling that things were getting ridiculous. She really hadn't expecte...
