Chapter 1405: Effortless

r tongue.The pain coming from her tongue made An Xuetang's brow twitch involuntarily. She suddenly felt a little uneasy and looked at Mo Yunjing, "A-Jing, why don't we go back to find Zi Ling and the...The commander of the Imperial Guard, logically speaking, with his current status and skills, could easily take the emperor's life if he wanted to.

Since he never made a move, it means the Yun Rui Shi behind him didn't give him the order to act.

What on earth is Yun Rui trying to do

Just when An Xuetang couldn't figure it out, she heard Ye Er say, "These days, I've been keeping an eye on his whereabouts. He often goes out of the city recently."

"Leaving the palace doesn't necessarily mean anything, but the problem is that every time he returns, he deliberately reassigns a portion of the guards. It's clear he's looking for something inside the palace."

"But this man is very cautious, and I can't guess what he's looking for."

After Ye Er finished speaking, An Xuetang suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, "I probably know what he's looking for, it should be a corpse."

“......”

A corpse

Ye Er was obviously taken aback. What corpse

Now that Ye Er has clearly stated he'll stand with them, An Xue Tang felt there was no need to keep certain things from him. So she explained the matter of Mo Yun Jing's mother's remains not being in the imperial mausoleum.

She thought, Yun Rui had arranged that person to lurk in the palace for many years, by the emperor's side for many years, wasn't it just to find out about Mo Yunjing's mother's remains

But even the emperor is looking for it, how could they suspect that the body was hidden by the emperor

Ye Er roughly understood what was going on. After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked at An Xue Tang, "Do the Princess and Prince also suspect that the late Empress's will was hidden by the Emperor"

"An Xue Tang shook her head slightly, "I did suspect this, but when my Northern Border King had this suspicion, he already tried to find it, almost searching every corner of the imperial city, but still found no clues."

“Most importantly, the emperor's search for the remains seems very serious, not at all like a show for others. So we guess the body is unlikely to be in his hands.”

Ye Er nodded slightly. If the King and Queen of Bei Jiang had a lot of suspicion towards the Emperor, he could try to find out. Anyway, the Emperor still trusted him for now.

An Xuetang knew what she meant and still cautioned, "The current emperor is suspicious by nature. Do less to avoid his suspicion, or you'll only end up dead."

"Rest assured, Your Highness, I know what to do."

"Hmm." An Xue Tang looked at Shou'er, who immediately took out a vial of medicine and placed it on Ye Er's bedside. "After your injuries heal, you will definitely be summoned to the palace by the emperor and inevitably meet the commander of the Imperial Guard. This is a kind of poison powder that can quickly incapacitate the other party. Keep it with you for protection."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"If you really want to thank someone, then treat Xiao Qin well. She deserves to be loved and cared for."

When Xiaoqin was mentioned, Ye Er's eyes inadvertently revealed a touch of tenderness. "I understand," she said.

Ning'er had already finished instructing Xiaocheng on how to care for the wounded. An Xuetang knew that Xiaocheng was eager to rush in and see Ye Er's condition, so she didn't continue talking to Ye Er and turned around with Shou'er to leave.

"As night has fallen, you should stay here tonight. Tomorrow, I will have Ning'er check on Lord Ye again. If everything is alright, then you can return to the Ye Residence."

Xiaoqin wasn't even thinking about whether staying would disturb An Xuetang at the moment. All she could think about was that Ye Er had been so badly injured, and it was impossible to move him rashly.

...and if anything changed with his wounds during that time, Ninger could take care of it right away. So, she agreed almost without hesitation, her face full of emotion: ...

"Thank you, Your Highness. Xiao Qin is truly..."

An Xuetang heard this and could guess what Xiao Qin was about to say with her toes, so she quickly interrupted her with a smile, "I know, I know. Hurry inside and take care of Ye Da Ren."

As she spoke, she placed her hands on Xiao Qin's shoulders and gently pushed her.

Perhaps fearing that his wife and Xiao Qin's bickering would affect the baby in his wife's womb, Ning'er raised an eyebrow slightly, made a slight shift, and then very smoothly pulled Xiao Qin into the room.

Xiao Qin, An Xuetang: “...”

After Ninger closed the door, An Xue Tang came back to her senses. She giggled, as expected, everything still had to be handled by her family's Ninger.

This is completely straightforward.

She likes it that way.

Shouer smiled, "Your Highness, it's late and the wind is still strong outside. Let's go back to the room."

"Ye Er's matter has also been resolved," An Xue Tang yawned at this moment, "That's good."

After that, she cast a lingering glance at the closed door, a faint smile playing on her lips, before turning and walking towards her own room.

......

And Xiaoqin, pushed into the room by Ning'er, blankly watched Ning'er close the door and listened to An Xuetang leave. She sighed.

She didn't finish her words, and the Northern Border Princess didn't let her. However, she truly didn't know how to repay the Northern Border Princess for her repeated help.

She felt like it had always been the Northern Border Princess reaching out to her, taking her in and helping her, one thing after another.

But what about her

She pondered carefully, realizing she didn't seem to possess any real skills and wasn't sure how she could be of assistance to the Northern Border Princess.

Lying in bed, Ye Er's eyes were fixed on Xiaoqin. The moment she turned her face, he saw through her thoughts.

After a moment's thought, he said, "I will repay the kindness of the princess, you need not think too much about it."

"!"

Ye Er's voice instantly pulled Xiao Qin back to her thoughts. She immediately looked up at Ye Er, "Ye Lord, how are you feeling now Is there anything else that is uncomfortable"

As she spoke, she reached the bedside and saw at once Ye Er's pallid face.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Ye Er shifted his body at this moment, wanting to sit up. But Xiao Qin realized what he was trying to do and immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Don't move, don't move. Tell me what you want to do. Ning'er just said that you can't move around, lest the wound burst open."

There was real worry in her eyes. After a moment's hesitation, Ye Er still gave up struggling and continued to lie down, "Does the County Princess remember what I said Today I will find a way to repay the kindness of the Northern Border Princess, so you don't have to put pressure on yourself."

After finishing his words, he noticed Xiao Qin hadn't seemed to hear him. He continued, "Ten thousand taels of gold are easy to come by, but a true confidante is the most difficult to find. Actually, the person who could make the Northern Frontier Princess reach out must be someone she wants to help. I can tell that the Princess treats the Miss as a friend."

"Since you're friends, some things shouldn't be taken too seriously. Otherwise, it might make the relationship between the two of you feel distant. Your Highness also saw that the Northern Border Princess is pregnant. If you truly want to do something, you could sew some small things for the future little master in the Prince's Mansion during your free time."s mysterious person's strength far surpasses theirs. In a direct confrontation, they would be unable to win.Then, the prince asked the mysterious person what his purpose was.The mysterious man didn't...
