Chapter 264: To Be Executed According to Law

ell, "This seat will take its leave first.""Lord Fenggu, please wait a moment. We were just discussing the gift for the North Border Princess. What about your gift, Lord Fenggu"Feng Ming smiled and wa...The little flower nodded slightly, of course she knew that.

"So, I need the help of King Beijang. I've heard that the emperor of Tianba Kingdom goes on a tour every year, and I can only try to get his attention when he's traveling."

After finishing her sentence, Huahua added, "As long as the King of Beijang has a way to let me appear before the emperor, I am confident that I can attract his attention and make him proactively invite me into the palace."

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow at her confidence. "So you're ready then"

"Hmm."

Standing beside her, Hong’er hesitated to speak. She didn’t want her young mistress to enter the palace again; the palace—it was a place where people were devoured and left with nothing but bones!

The young lady from her house had finally managed to get out, and she truly didn't want her to go back in.

She was about to bravely speak up and tell An Xue Tang something when Huadoer spoke, “Huadoer has a request for the Princess.”

"Huh"

The flower suddenly knelt down and bowed. Hong, seeing this, quickly knelt beside her. After all, she was a maidservant, and if the mistress knelt, she couldn't stand up either.

An Xuetang frowned slightly, "What are you doing"

"Your Highness, Duo'er wants to request that you take Hong'er into the palace. Hong'er is a good girl, and her cooking is truly excellent. She could be your cook. Duo'er only asks for Your Highness to give her a place to stay."

When Hong'er heard this, her eyes immediately turned red, and she choked up, "No, Miss, I must stay by your side. I want to be by your side."

Huāduǒr sank her face and turned to her, saying, "Hóng'ěr, listen to me. It is your honor to stay by the North Border Princess's side. If the Princess accepts you, you must learn the rules of the manor well and be loyal to the Princess."

"Miss, you truly don't want your maid anymore This servant only wants to stay by the miss's side for her whole life."

Hua Duo'er was afraid that Hong'er's words would make An Xue Tang uncomfortable, afraid that An Xue Tang would misunderstand that Hong'er was disdainful of her unwillingness to stay by her side. At this moment, she sank her face and said coldly, "Hong'er, don't say such things."

"But Ke Hong'er suddenly kowtowed, crying, 'Miss, if you don't want Ke Hong'er anymore, Ke Hong'er... Ke Hong'er will immediately die!'"

When she said this, her tone was so resolute that both An Xue Tang and Hua Duo'er were taken aback.

"Hua Duo'er sighed helplessly, "Hong'er, you know how dangerous the palace is. Why do you insist on coming in with me and enduring this suffering"

"Hong'er's life belongs to the young mistress. Hong'er only wants to be by the young mistress's side."

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, listening to these master and servant speak one sentence at a time. Seeing Huaduo finally compromise, she curled her lips and said, "The girl by your side is indeed loyal."

"It's fine, all of you get up."

An Xuetang slowly stood up, “Since you have already made your decision, then prepare well. The King of Beijang will make arrangements for the matter of entering the capital to see the emperor.”

"Thank you, King of the Northern Border. Thank you, Queen of the Northern Border."

On the carriage back to town, An Xuetang told the story of Huāduǒ'er and Mò Yúnchén to Mò Yúnjǐng and Mò Jūn yì. After hearing the end, the two remained expressionless, which made An Xuetang curious, "jǐng, Zǐlíng, why don't you say anything"

Aren't they amazed by this incredible coincidence

There's a depth of feeling in her affection for him. Although she and Mo Yunchen have only been together for a little over a month, it seems their feelings run incredibly deep.

Mo Junyi let out a small hum, "Mother, what do you want me to say The person she fancies is my father, not me. I can't pretend to be moved on his behalf, all I hope is that she doesn't keep giving me those strange looks."

An Xuetang: “...”

< This....she couldn't refute. >

Mo Yunjing pondered for a moment, "If she's telling the truth, she could be of great help to us."

Mo Yunjing wasn't unfamiliar with the practice of placing his own people around the Emperor. However, his people typically only served as eunuchs, palace maids, or members of the Imperial Guard.

As for the concubines...the people he had placed there previously had rebelled and were unwilling to provide him with any information!

After that, he never again considered putting people by the emperor's pillow. If this flower truly could get in there, and she wholeheartedly served Mo Yunchen, then it would be very advantageous for Mo Yunjing and the others. And she could also help the emperor find someone to satisfy his desires.

However, whether this flower is trustworthy or not remains to be seen.

Over the next few days, An Xuetang and Mo Junyi lived peacefully in the camp, while Mo Yunjing was still very busy. Mo Yunjing also had people investigate Huā Duǒ'er, and they brought back news.

Just as the flower had explained itself, An Xuetang and the others now tentatively began to believe her.

For the past half month, Huāduǒ has come to see nxuetang every day while she was in the camp. nxuetang would also bring her some delicious food.

Because of the previous mistake, Huāduǒ had already apologized to Mò Jūn Yì.

And after spending these few days with Mo Junyi, Huaduo no longer confuses Mo Junyi with Mo Yunchen.

Huaduoer also figured it out. Although Mo Junyi resembled Mo Yunchen in appearance, his personality was completely unlike that elegant Mo Yunchen.

Mo Jun Yi's personality is more like Mo Yun Jing's, profound, domineering, and with a hint of cunning.

That day at noon, An Xue Tang and Mo Jun Yi were bored in camp. Hua Duo er then proactively offered to play them a piece on the zither.

Knowing that she could play the guqin, An Xue Tang had someone buy one.

At this moment, Huāduǒer sat before the ancient qin, idly plucking at its strings. A clear and distant melody filled the tent, as refreshing as a cold spring, lingering in the air.

Both An Xuetang and Mo Junyi couldn't help but listen attentively. Although An Xuetang didn't understand music, she could hear a hint of longing in Huaduoer's playing.

When the last note of the song faded away, both An Xue Tang and Mo Jun Yi still seemed to be lost in its afterglow, marveling at how her fingertips could produce such a beautiful melody.

Unable to get enough, the two urged her to play another song. Before Huāduǒ could even agree, a familiar voice rang out from outside the tent, "táng, this lord can also play. How about I give you a performance"

As soon as the words left her mouth, An Xue Tang and Mo Jun Yi exchanged glances. They both frowned in unison, their gazes shifting towards the doorway.

As expected, Feng Ming's figure soon appeared at the door.

An Xuetang pursed her lips, this oddball is here again!

"How did you get here again" An Xuetang stood up, staring coldly at him. "Feng Ming, do you know that trespassing into a military camp is punishable by death according to law."

Feng Ming curled his lips into a smile, "This deity is not a citizen of your Tianba Kingdom, so naturally, this deity doesn't need to care about your Tianba Kingdom's laws."

After that, he chuckled softly, "But speaking of which, the Northern Frontier and this Tianba Kingdom... probably can't be considered to be on the same side."

"Mo Junyi rolled his eyes and said angrily, 'This has nothing to do with you. You always sneak over when my Fifth Uncle isn't around. I think you know you can't beat him, so you just have to hide from him!'"ng also found time to visit Jinchuan Temple and met with those Westerners. Of those suffering from "big neck disease," those who took the medicine prescribed by An Xuetang showed clear improvement, ev...
