Chapter 1618: Be Careful, Young Master
nning to sneak into my room tonight Is it really appropriate for the esteemed King of Beijiang to engage in such petty thievery"Mo Yunjing raised his hand and gently tapped her head, "This king is jus...The child's complexion became extremely rosy, a stark contrast to their previous appearance.
Mo Jun Yi tightened his grip, his eyes sharpening as he stared at the child. Could it be that everything tonight… was because of this child
Mo Junyi just thought of this, and immediately reached out to touch the child in Feng Ming's arms, wanting to see if there was anything unusual about her.
But before his hand could even get close to the child's face, Feng Ming's vacant eyes instantly became incredibly sharp, and he directly attacked Mo Junyi.
"!"
"Be careful, young master."
Luckily, having been always on guard, Xunluo reached out and pulled Mo Junyi back, narrowly saving him from danger.
Xunluo pressed his voice low, "Young Master, the Valley Lord has always forbidden us from approaching this child. Let's not be rash, lest the Valley Lord truly makes a move. With our abilities, we wouldn't stand a chance."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Mo Junyi, who still seemed unwilling to give up. He hurriedly added, "Of course, whether we can win or not is another matter, but if there's such a big commotion on our side, I'm afraid it would disturb the Princess Consort of Jingtang Garden."
Mo Junyi frowned, "Look at this child, isn't she different from before"
Hearing him say that, Xunluo finally looked at the child in Feng Ming's arms. After waking up, he hadn't really looked at the child.
"Sure enough, upon looking closer, he immediately noticed something amiss. His brow furrowed as he stated, “This child...he seems to have come back to life.”
Previously, the child's face was as pale as death, not looking like a living person at all. Now, there's color returning to his complexion, he looks as if he's come back to life.
But Xunluo still didn't want Mo Junyi to act hastily, so she said again, "My lord, I know you want to figure things out as soon as possible, but in the entire Prince's Mansion, only the Princess is allowed by the Valley Master to come into contact with this child. So why not wait until tomorrow when the Princess wakes up"
"Xunluo's words are indeed reasonable. Mo Junyi narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then decided to listen to him. He nodded, "Then let's talk about it tomorrow. Tonight, you must keep a close eye on things. If there is any movement again, inform Yun Si promptly."
……
After leaving the room, Mo Junyi went to see those guards who had fainted earlier, asking each one individually. Seeing that they were indeed fine, he became even more puzzled.
If someone wanted to take advantage of these people while they are unconscious, it would be easy.
Yet, the one behind the scenes did nothing.
No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't figure it out.
It's just a matter of time before dawn breaks. I'll discuss it with Mother tomorrow morning and see what she has to say.
But just as Mo Junyi was about to lift his foot to leave, Yun Si suddenly grabbed him.
Yun Si used his eyes to point at the house where Shuangshuang lived.
"... "
To be honest, Mo Junyi only then remembered that there was someone else living in this courtyard besides Fu'er and Fengming—someone with a special status: Shuangshuang.
Before returning to the capital, Shuangshuang had heard about this person from his mother's letters. He also knew that the people in Beijang Wangfu once suspected that this person was his grandmother's child.
Although she is about the same age as him, in terms of seniority, if she were truly his grandmother's daughter, then this person would be his aunt. Seriously speaking, he would have to call her Aunt.
After returning to Beijing, he actually took the initiative to glance at this person. However, at that time, this person was weak and sickly. Hearing what Yun Si and others said, this person had been seriously injured in order to save his mother. Seeing her pale complexion, he didn't talk to her, for fear that he couldn't help but do something to her.
After all, he already knew that she had revealed his route back to the capital to Ming Deng, which led him to be chased all the way and eventually fell into the hands of Bai Feng and others. This gave those damned people from Bai Feng a chance to threaten his fifth uncle.
This led to Fifth Uncle falling into the ravine, his whereabouts unknown, his life and death a mystery.
He's truly the mastermind behind this whole thing!
If she hadn't done everything she did at the beginning, things wouldn't be like this now.
So he didn't want to have too much interaction with her, otherwise he was afraid he couldn't control himself and would kill her directly.
Who knows, maybe after intentionally ignoring this person, or perhaps because this person's presence wasn't that strong to begin with, he subconsciously ignored her today.
Only after Yun Si reminded him did he remember. He stood there, reacting for a moment, then as if he had thought of some possibility, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze became sharp.
He hesitated for only a moment before lifting his foot and walking toward Shuangshuang's door.
……
The moment Mo Junyi arrived in the courtyard, Shuangshuang already knew she wasn't pacing back and forth in her own room anymore.
Instead, she sat quietly at the table, waiting for Mo Junyi's arrival. Because she knew that with such a big incident, this group of people couldn't possibly just suspect Fu'er that simply.
They don't believe in Fu Er, but in this courtyard, there are others they don't believe in, like Shuang Shuang.
After all, everyone knows that she is actually a spy sent by the Ming Dynasty. She approached the Northern Border Princess and infiltrated the Northern Border Prince's Mansion with a purpose.
Although everyone in the palace is grateful that she saved the Northern Border Princess, and many suspect she is the daughter of the former Empress, none of this can make them completely trust her. Today's incident will definitely lead suspicion to her, and they will surely come to question her.
So when she learned that Mo Junyi had arrived, she sat quietly on the chair waiting. Finally, at this moment, the door was knocked, and she said in a calm voice, "Please come in."
In the next instant, Mo Junyi pushed open the door. Even in the darkness, he could immediately spot Shuangshuang sitting at the table.
Mo Junyi walked in with a sullen face, followed by Yun Si. The room was dark because there were no lights on. Yun Si frowned, “Young Master, should I go and light the oil lamps”
As soon as he said this, before Mo Junyi could respond, Shuangshuang spoke first, "No need, I know what you want to ask. Just sit down and let's have a chat together."
"……"
Mo Junyi and Yun Si were clearly both taken aback by her words. The two glanced at each other subconsciously, but then walked to the table and sat down together.
Shuangshuang's gaze fell on Mo Junyi's face. She had already learned about Mo Junyi's identity and birthdate from the Northern Border Princess. She thought for a moment, then raised an eyebrow and suddenly said, "Boy, you should call me auntie."
"!".
In this situation, Mo Junyi hadn't expected her to still have the mind to say this. His expression turned cold, and he spoke in a chillingly calm voice, "Not everyone can associate with this Prince. So, tell me, what exactly do you know"a sense of foreboding. Looking back at the whole situation, Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang hadn't said many words or done many things, yet somehow they managed to make the esteemed Prince and Princess of X...
