Chapter 1606: How to Confess?

ate. Though she knew she wasn't worthy, her heart still craved it deep down. After being trapped in the palace for so many years, she too longed for affection from others.Family and love, she was dest...Perhaps because she had been “disciplined” by An Xue Tang, now An An was behaving herself in Mo Jun Yi's arms.

Yet, Ning'er cast a thoughtful glance at the infant in Mo Junyi's arms, recalling the case she had seen previously. Her brow furrowed imperceptibly.

This child is less than a month old, and already knows how to wave his hand and hit people. She couldn't help but think of the examples recorded in that medical book.

The boy in that medical text also absorbed the venom from his mother while still in the womb. Within a few years of birth, he turned into a heartless demon who killed without hesitation.

That boy was heartless, he didn't care who it was, if he wanted to kill someone, he would. He was cruel and beyond saving.

The Second Master in the Prince's arms also absorbed the poison from their Princess Consort when they were still in the womb, so he wouldn't...

Ning'er couldn't bear to think any further.

Immediately withdrawing the emotions in her eyes, she pretended nothing had happened, lest she reveal undue worry in front of the Princess.

......

A few people were staying in the house for a while. An Xue Tang saw that both children were being taken turns to hold, and she didn't have to worry at all.

She actually wanted to hold the baby occasionally too, but Mo Junyi and Ning'er were afraid that she would be tired during her confinement period, so they didn't let her hold the baby for too long all day.

Apart from necessary feedings, these two children rarely get to be held by her.

She was now half-lying in bed, leaning against the headboard, watching Mo Junyi interact with the two children not far away. A thoughtful look gradually appeared in her eyes.

After a while, she suddenly asked, "Ziling, is there something you're hiding from me"

"!"

Mo Junyi and Ning'er both didn't expect her to suddenly ask such a question. For a moment, their minds went blank.

Mo Junyi thought he might have inadvertently exposed some flaw, a flicker of confusion crossing his eyes.

Though it was just a fleeting moment, An Xue Tang still accurately caught it.

An Xuetang was well-acquainted with subtle changes in people's expressions. At this moment, she caught Mo Junyi's guilty and flustered expression, and her heart instantly turned cold.

Before, no matter how she probed, Mo Junyi hardly reacted, so she didn't think Mo Junyi would hide anything major from her.

If he wanted to keep it a secret, at best, it was only about his injury. But this had been several days ago. Although she never asked, pretending not to know, she still made Ning'er personally help him change the bandages every day. So he knew deep down that he couldn't hide his injury from her.

And she has had people concocting tonics for him these past few days, trying to replenish his body which had been depleted these days. She thought that besides the injury, he shouldn't have anything else major he was hiding.

>From this unwitting probing, she had stumbled upon such a significant issue.

The look on his face just now was clearly panic and fear.

An Xuetang's hands under the blanket gradually clenched into fists, her heart growing increasingly uneasy. The Mo Junyi she knew was bold and meticulous, calm beyond his years, and there were few things in this world that could make him so frightened and at a loss.

So, she was even more puzzled. What could have happened to make him look like that Had something happened to Mo Yunjing...

Before she could probe further, Mo Junyi had already returned to normal. At this moment, he deliberately put on an innocent look and stared at An Xuetang, "Mother, what are you talking about Could there be anything I'm hiding from you"

An Xue Tang's desire to continue asking questions suddenly disappeared at that moment.

She thought, no matter what happened, since he had been trying to hide it from her ever since he returned home, even if she confronted him harshly now, it would only alert him. Mo Junyi wouldn't say anything.

If it were something he could have told her directly, he wouldn't have kept it a secret this long.

But ironically, the more they tried to hide it from her, the more convinced she became that something was seriously wrong with Mo Yun Jing, and that Mo Jun Yi and the others definitely knew what had happened.

At that thought, her hands tucked under the blanket began to tremble slightly, and unease settled deeper in her heart.

But at this moment, facing the gazes of everyone present, she had to pretend to shake her head calmly, "No, no. Mother was just asking."

After saying that, she suddenly closed her eyes, looking extremely exhausted. "I probably didn't sleep well last night. I'm a little sleepy right now."

Seeing her like this, Mo Junyi quickly said, "Then mother, you should rest well first and take a nap to recover your spirits."

An Xuetang didn't refuse, and obediently nodded 'um', then slowly lay down.

She lay on her side, facing away from Mo Junyi and the others, afraid that they would notice the slight redness in her eyes.

While Mo Junyi and Ning'er exchanged furtive glances behind her back, they both lowered their heads simultaneously, lost in thought.

……

After putting the two children to sleep, Mo Junyi left Jingtang Garden and stood by the lotus pond, waiting for Yunsi.

Upon receiving the message, Yun Si rushed over.

The young prince stood straight, although his eyes and eyebrows still held a touch of youthfulness, at this moment his whole body exuded an aura that kept others away. His eyes were deep and gloomy, with an indescribable coldness.

Yun Si had just stepped in when he looked up, fixing his gaze on her with a cold voice. “The maidservant from Anle Hou's residence who came to see your mother today, are you sure you checked her Was there nothing unusual about her”

Yun Si didn't know why he had suddenly asked that question, but he answered truthfully, "Your Highness, the maid didn't seem to be acting any differently. Moreover, while she was with the Empress, several maids including Ning Er were keeping an eye on her the whole time."

Afterward, I further inquired of Ning'er, and she assured me that this person had not uttered anything inappropriate in front of the Princess.

Mo Junyi clenched his fists and furrowed his brows, “Just now, Mother was testing me, asking if I had something I was hiding from her.”

"Based on what I know about her, she probably suspects us now."

"... " Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!

Yun Si pursed her lips, this matter was indeed tricky. Even if no one said anything in front of the Princess, hinting at something, these days the Prince and others had remained silent. Not only would the meticulous Princess overthink things, even he would find himself thinking too much.

Mo Junyi naturally knew this as well. Although he had been trying his best to distract her these days, there was still no news from Wu Shu. Anyone could guess that something must have happened to him.
