Chapter 679: Deadline Reached

r.An Xuetang pursed her lips, "Alright, Master, is there anything else you wish for"Lin Xi closed her eyes and shook her head slightly. "Child, forgive your master's selfishness. Your master has lived...Hearing Xiao Ba's 'warning', Mo Jun Yi let out a chuckle, his eyes softening with an unintentional fondness as he said, "Alright, I won't throw it away."

Though he hadn't slept all night, his voice was slightly hoarse, but not weary.

Her elder brother saw through her intentions and quickly reached out, grabbing both her hands and pulling her back.

"Brother Emperor, you..."

"Little Eight, always remember that you are a girl."

Xiao Ba, who had been scolded by his own older brother, pouted slightly, looking a little wronged. "I know," he said.

Fearing that his sister and Mo Junyi would continue to "exchange glances with affection," the Xuan Guo prince immediately decided to set off.

He bid farewell to Mo Junyi solemnly, stuffed Xiao Ba into the carriage, and several people hurried away.

Watching the carriage drive away, Mo Junyi's eyes darkened. He clenched his hand around the purse tighter, and after a moment, he looked at Yun Yi.

Yun Yi didn't need Mo Junyi to remind him; he already knew what the other wanted to ask. At this moment, he proactively raised his hand and answered, "Rest assured, my lord, I have already arranged for people to secretly protect the Eighth Princess."

Mò Jūn Yì nodded slightly, "Hmm."

After that, he turned and went back to his tent.

Yun Yi knew that Mo Junyi hadn't slept all night. At this moment, he didn't say anything more, only instructing Yun San to arrange for someone not to disturb Mo Junyi's rest.

At this time, An Xuetang in the capital was leisurely sitting in the courtyard, teaching Feng Ming how to perform surgery, including how to make incisions and how to suture wounds.

As she was talking, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. She quickly stood up.

Feng Ming frowned, "A Tang, what's wrong"

An Xuetang touched her chest, "Suddenly, I feel a little uncomfortable."

After she finished speaking, she and Fengming subconsciously glanced at each other. Both of them guessed that it was most likely the worm in her body that was causing trouble.

Feng Ming's expression instantly turned serious. He pulled An Xuetang's hand and felt her pulse.

For a moment, he sensed the movement of the worm inside her, but it vanished just as quickly. Judging from her pulse, the worm within her was still dormant.

The commotion in that instant was enough to show that Bai Feng and the others must have been trying to awaken the Love Gu.

At this thought, both Feng Ming and An Xuetang's expressions turned sour.

An Xuetang thought for a moment, "Brother, if this silkworm is awakened, you must help me with the surgery."

Phoenix Ming clenched his fists, "For my brother, I can't do it right now. I can't joke about your life, that's your head! If anything goes wrong, my brother wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."

An Xuetang smiled. "Brother, what are you thinking Even if your medical skills are superb and you're skilled with a scalpel, I wouldn't trust you to operate on my head."

"…"

Feng Ming narrowed his eyes, "So, A Tang, what do you mean"

"After the worm is awakened, it won't stay in my brain forever. I'll find a way to force it to go to my hand or somewhere else unimportant on my body. Then, elder brother, you can use the surgical technique you've learned now to remove the love worm from inside me."

"I see. Hearing that there's no need to operate on her mind, Feng Ming breathed a sigh of relief. "A Tang has a way to control the insects so they don't run amok"

About this, An Xue Tang didn't dare to guarantee, but she had thought of many ways. Maybe she could try a few times first and see

"Let's talk about that later. I'm fine now, older brother. Let's continue. What I told you just now is called the great artery. This great artery should not be disturbed easily..."

An Xue Tang sat down and continued chattering away to Feng Ming about how to perform the surgery, and how to avoid the major blood vessels.

The two continued to chat for another hour. An Xue Tang looked up at the sun's position, frowned, and turned to Ning'er beside her, "Ning'er, has anything happened outside today"

"Ning'er shook her head slightly, "Replying to the Crown Princess, there were no major events in the capital today."

"What about the palace Has there been any news"

"None."

An Xuetang furrowed her brow. "That's strange, at this hour, Ajing should be back by now. How come there's still no sign of him"

"Your Highness, today the King has to account for something to the Emperor. The deadline given by the Emperor has passed. Right now, the King and that Mo Yunze along with officials from Dali Temple should be under the Emperor's questioning."

Upon Ning'er's reminder, An Xuetang finally remembered that the emperor had given her brother-in-law two days to investigate what happened that night. Now that two days had passed, it was indeed time to give the emperor an explanation.

But last night her A-Jing told her that he hadn't figured out who had been playing pranks that night.

But it can be certain that the person who attacked the emperor that night was someone close to the emperor, and very familiar with his daily routine.

An Xuetang last night even guessed if it could be Huaduo'er, but Mo Yunjing denied it. He said Huaduo'er had just entered the palace and couldn't possibly have the opportunity to plan such a meticulous operation.

Moreover, if the Emperor were to have an accident right after the flower entered the palace, it would be of no benefit to her.

If the emperor were to meet with misfortune at this time, anyone who wanted to bring her down would have too many excuses and it would be too easy to find them. They could accuse her of being involved in the crime or label her as an ominous presence, after all, the emperor's misfortune happened right after she entered the palace. It would be very easy to drag her into this at this point.

Therefore, this incident with the emperor is not the work of Huā Duǒ'er. She's not foolish enough to attack the emperor at this time.

At this time, seeing An Xue Tang's worried expression towards Mo Yun Jing, Feng Ming just wanted to tease An Xue Tang a couple of sentences, but Yun Si suddenly came over, and not only that, he also brought two people with him.n Han Yun's tent at this time.When the Qingyun Pavilion brother came in, he saw his face grave. Mo Yunjing's pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly.Before this brother of the Qingyun Pavilion could even b...
