Chapter 1193: Turning the Tables

akeup, a disguise.In that case, wouldn't she be able to stay with Mo Yunjing under a different identityShe was also dumb. She only remembered she had that godlike makeup skill after seeing this set o...So this old man came today to settle the score with her

Ning'er and Shou'er heard the relationship between them, their brows furrowed instantly, fearing that the old man would attack An Xuetang. So the two immediately stuck to An Xuetang, one on the left and one on the right.

The elder, seeing their behavior like this, did not get angry but smiled instead. "Afraid the old man would harm Princess Bei Jiang Since I have already introduced myself, naturally I wouldn't do anything that would put my family in danger."

Ning'er and Shou'er only nodded slightly, but neither of them moved away, standing motionless beside An Xue Tang.

The old man didn't get angry. He looked at An Xue Tang with clear, fearless eyes, waiting for her explanation.

An Xuetang saw his appearance, and was not the kind of person who would be overprotective. So she felt a little more at ease. She glanced at the common people who were all waiting for her to explain.

Immediately, with a resolute voice, he stated, “Zhao Si died unjustly.”

"...."

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment. At this point, no one knew what bottom line the Princess of Beijang had, that she could still speak so... confidently and righteously.

Just then, Mo Yunze couldn't wait to jump out and show his presence. He stared at An Xuetang and said disdainfully, "An Xuetang, do you know how much trouble this behavior will bring us"

"What's the trouble"

An Xue Tang slowly turned around, her indifferent eyes fixed on him. "I wonder where the trouble that Fourth Prince spoke of lies This concubine hasn't seen any trouble given by the people of Xuan Guo, but as for Fourth Prince, the trouble you've caused is truly beyond defense."

Mò Yúnzé frowned, "What do you mean"

"Fourth Prince, don't play dumb. You've been conspiring with the prince and princess of Xuan Country behind the scenes, wanting to cooperate with them. Do you deny this"

Mo Yunze's face changed, especially when he saw the disbelief in everyone's eyes. He clenched his fists and said, "An Xuetang, don't try to talk nonsense! Today is about you killing someone, don't try to divert everyone's attention!"

“How can this be a distraction The reason you’re so hung up on Zhao Si’s death is because she died in the capital of Tianba. You’re afraid that Xuan Guo will take advantage of this situation to send troops, aren’t you But what if I told you that even without Zhao Si’s death, Xuan Guo would still send troops”

This... for a moment, after hearing An Xue Tang's words, some people in the crowd began to discuss it.

That elderly Mr. Li looked thoughtfully at Mo Yunze, then at An Xue Tang, and then calmly asked, "I wonder what basis the Northern Border Princess has for saying this"

"Naturally."

"Excuse me!" Mo Yunze interrupted An Xuetang's words, "An Xuetang, even now, do you still want to play tricks"

"What's the Fourth Prince in such a hurry for" An Xuetang stared at him with a half-smile. "The words this concubine just said, were they true or not Why don't the Fourth Prince just bring Zhao Li, the prince of Xuan Guo, here directly and we confront each other face to face Wouldn't that be better Now Zhao Li is in the Fourth Prince's mansion. The Fourth Prince can't deny this, can he"

"The reason why the Crown Prince of Xuan Guo is staying in my manor is that he's hiding from your pursuit. You and Mo Yun Jing both wanted to harm the Crown Prince and Princess, but now you want to frame us. What are your intentions"

"What's the Fourth Prince in such a hurry for Does he think it's this concubine who is making false accusations Couldn't the Fourth Prince just invite the Xuan Guo prince here directly"

Mo Yunze instinctively wanted to retort, but after some thought, he held back. He narrowed his eyes, "This king wouldn't dare let the Prince of Xuan appear here. Who knows if this isn't your scheme, trying to get the Prince of Xuan to appear and then find an opportunity to kill him An Xuetang, wasn't killing a Princess of Xuan enough Do you also want to kill the Prince of Xuan"

His words changed the topic of discussion again, and many people even felt that he made sense. Looking at An Xue Tang, their eyes were filled with suspicion.

The elderly man surnamed Li lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. His network of information was broader than that of an ordinary citizen, and having lived for so many years, he believed he had a good eye for people. Therefore, subconsciously, he felt that the Northern Border Princess before him was not a bloodthirsty person.

And he also believed that Mo Yunjing had a good eye for choosing a princess consort. Someone like Mo Yunjing, despite appearing cold and heartless on the surface, was actually very loyal and kind at heart.

So the queen he personally chose wouldn't be of such poor character, and she certainly wouldn't create trouble for him on the eve of his campaign.

So, after some thought, the elder of the Li family said, “I think the Princess from Beijang is right. The Fourth Prince now has thousands of Imperial Guards sent by the Emperor and with so many people protecting him and so many commoners watching, I believe the Princess from Beijang wouldn't dare to attack the prince from Xuan Kingdom. Perhaps the Fourth Prince should allow the prince from Xuan Kingdom to come over first”

Mo Yunze's eyes darkened. "I am here today with my father's imperial decree to arrest An Xuetang. As for the Xuan Guo prince, if necessary, after we enter the palace, my father will have the Xuan Guo prince enter the palace to confront An Xuetang."

Having said that, he didn't want anything to go wrong today. He immediately turned to An Xue Tang, "An Xue Tang, you should follow this king into the palace to meet the emperor."

"This concubine dares not leave this place even a step. The Fourth Prince has planted so many private soldiers among the people, this concubine is completely justified in believing that the Fourth Prince wants to use this opportunity to capture this concubine and threaten our Northern Border King."

"…"

Mo Yunze's teeth itched with anger. It was true that he had placed people there, but he had never thought of arresting her today. Even if he wanted to, he would have to wait until after she entered the palace to pay homage to the emperor.

Besides, who can guarantee her safety even for tomorrow, let alone today What makes her think he'll arrest her today

But just as An Xuetang finished speaking, several people in the crowd suddenly caught fire.

The people screamed and ran, afraid of being burned. At this moment, a large number of soldiers suddenly used light kung fu to leave their own areas.

Those who practiced light kung fu, and those who pushed the commoners aside and instinctively huddled together, were clearly people placed among the populace by Mo Yunze.

That crowd of people was terrified by the sudden collapse and fire, screaming and covering their heads as they scrambled to run.

Ke Yunsi's voice rang out at that moment, "Just now the fire was started by an assassin planted among you. Their purpose was to set themselves alight when our princess appeared, charge towards our princess, and in doing so drag her down to hell. Now the person has been found, everyone needn't be so worried."

Having said that, Yun Si's sharp gaze fell on the group of people preparing to return to the commoners, his voice as cold and piercing as ice:

However, thanks to the sudden incident just now, we've discovered that there's more than one expert planted among you.

Mo Yunze cursed these fools in his heart, glaring at them hoping they'd leave quickly. However, An Xuetang smirked, her thin lips curving into a sneer as she suddenly lowered her voice, "Want them to leave Well, that depends on whether this princess agrees."

An Xue Tang's voice wasn't just audible to Mo Yun Ze, but also to the elderly Li. The old man sensed the killing intent in An Xue Tang's words and was momentarily disoriented.

She just now looked so much like the King of Beijiang!ow, this was her biggest worry. After all, she had specifically sent Ning'er these past few days to inquire about General Zhenxi.So it's perfectly clear what kind of person he is. This man has hardly...
