emed to understand the underlying meaning of begging alms. She was startled for a moment before saying, "Master, could it be that you have some grievance with the Minister of Household Affairs and his..."Want to know" An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you take me as your master, and I'll teach you."

Mo Junyi gave an exasperated look. "You want to be my fifth aunt *and* my master Isn't being my fifth aunt enough for you"

An Xuetang smiled. "When your master is also quite good, with a disciple like you with this kind of status, I'll be proud to say it."

Mo Junyi thought to himself, the wife of a mighty war god, this identity shouldn't let your face have any glory

When I get to the north, I'm going to tell my Uncle Wu all about this and have him give you a good scolding.

Ding Hua and several others searched the manor thoroughly, inside and out. When they were sure there was nothing unusual, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, leave this to us. You and the Prince should prepare to leave."

An Xuetang didn't refuse this time. She nodded slightly, "Search them to see if they have any identification."

Ding Hua nodded, and then went with Ding Yi and others to search those people's belongings.

Seeing the tiger head tattoos on their bodies, Ding Hua narrowed his eyes slightly. "Returning to the Princess Consort, these people are from the Lijiang School."

It's quite a coincidence that she comes from the Lijiang Sect, just like Jinghe. They seem to have fate intertwined with the Lijiang Sect.

At this time, Mo Junyi spoke, “Behind the Lijiang Sect should be a certain prince.”

An Xuetang frowned, "Who could it be"

Whoever she is, she needs to remember this and get revenge on her Ah Jing one by one in the future!

Mo Junyi shook his head. "The specifics are unknown, they're very tight-lipped and difficult to pry information out of them."

Ans Xue Tang's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, "Then just remember that for now."

"Ding Hua, burn all of these bodies!"

Ding Hua bowed, "Yes."

An Xuetang and Mo Junyi returned to the inner courtyard. The two only took off their head coverings, but the coarse hemp clothing they wore remained unchanged.

She and Mo Junyi entered the operating room. Yunliu looked worried, and when she saw them come in safely, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Highness, Young Master, it's good that you're alright. Please leave here quickly."

"No one else should be coming tonight. You first tell us what happened to you these past few days."

Yun Liuqiang endured the pain and slowly explained, “It’s all my fault. When I went to Yunnan, I only thought about finding the lily flower as quickly as possible. Who knew that someone heard me looking for the lily flower and targeted me”

After that, the trusted attendants around the Fourth Prince recognized me immediately. They guessed that our prince should be alive and followed me all the way.

I was supposed to be back a half month ago, but I changed my course because I knew someone was following me. They pursued me all the way, and there were more and more of them. I couldn't escape unharmed.

To avoid them, I traveled quite a distance, but later, fearing I would delay the Prince's illness, I had to hurry back here. They guessed my destination was this city after all, so they set an ambush at the city gate.

An Xuetang frowned, "So these injuries on you were from an ambush they set outside the city gates, causing you to be hurt"

Yunliu hummed softly, "Sure enough, I'm useless. Not only did I waste so much time but I also ended up looking like this."

As soon as he thought about himself now being like a cripple, only able to lie here, he wished he could slap himself to death, lest he become a burden to them!

An Xuetang pursed her lips, "You don't need to belittle yourself. They have a lot of people, the fact that you managed to keep one life is very good! Now isn't the time for self-blame."

After that, she remembered something else. “By the way, did you meet Ding Hua at Dong Ge’s place”

Yunliu nodded, "That's right. I've been trying to get out of the city and back to the village, but they're watching me closely. With my injured body, I had no chance. I could only pin my hopes on Dong'er from Lizheng's family. I was planning to go find him tonight, but Ding Hua's people found me."

An Xuetang gave a look that said, "I see," "Regardless of how things happened, the problem is mostly solved now. I've already made the antidote for Ah Jing, all we need to do now is figure out how to leave here and head to Beijang."

Mo Junyi spoke up at this moment, "Leaving now will likely be difficult. Those who came here tonight are probably only a small portion of the total. If we want to head north to Bei Jiang, we have to leave from the northern part of the city. And no matter which faction it is, they should already have set up a trap waiting for us at the northern city gates!"

As for this point, An Xuetang and Yunliu naturally thought of it too. An Xuetang pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking about. She paced around the room a few times.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she looked at Mo Junyi, "Ziling, the Fourth Prince Mo Yunze couldn't be the one behind the Lijiang Sect. He was preoccupied tonight. If he were the leader of the Lijiang Sect, he wouldn't have allowed them to trouble us tonight."

Mo Junyi nodded. "I was just about to say something, too. Mo Yunze definitely puts himself first. He wouldn't care about others in a situation like this tonight."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "Do you think those princes are also secretly targeting each other, wanting to eliminate each other"

If we reveal Mo Yunze's whereabouts to the other princes' people, is there a possibility that he could become their target

After all, it's not just my family, Jing's situation that will affect their desire to fight for the throne. Those princes are also vying with each other fiercely!

Yunliu nodded, "This method is worth a try. We can use Mo Yunze to divert their attention."

Mo Junyi also agreed, “I’ll go tell Ding Hua and ask him to send someone to leak Mo Yunze’s whereabouts.”

An Xuetang nodded, "Good, let him hurry up."

They should set off now. It will take several days to reach Beijiang from here. If they don't hurry, Ah Jing's poison inside her body might completely spread. Then she would be beyond saving.t dare to make a move!She was now frowning, staring intently at the bloodstains on Eleven's body. Because he had moved around, his wounds that he had painstakingly treated earlier were now reopened an...
