Chapter 665: Falling into a Giant Whirlpool

Yue Kingdom no longer exists!"The Northern Army troops raised their swords and guns, shouting, "Never again! Never again! Never again!"The soldiers and commoners of Ta Yue looked at each other in dis...Both An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing had the same thoughts. Since returning to Beijing, they discovered problem after problem.

From the very beginning, with Jinchuan Temple, Master Huaiyuan's dubious stories, to those two people who stole the portraits, Bai Feng who looked exactly like my mother, and the infant who died back then, and today's discovery of Shuangshuang...

Every single clue, every little piece of information, made An Xuetang feel like she and Mo Yunjing were caught in a giant whirlpool. And outside the whirlpool, there seemed to be two eyes staring at them intently, as if guiding them to uncover certain things, to discover certain truths.

After a moment of silence, Mo Yunjing suddenly asked, "Tangtang, how do you want to arrange for her"

"She" didn't need to be specified, An Xuetang also knew that Mo Yunjing was talking about Shuangshuang. After a moment of silence, An Xuetang spoke her thoughts:

"Shuangshuang had just come out of the palace. First, she didn't know where to go; second, she was still young and lacked survival skills; third, we weren't sure if she was truly the empress dowager's daughter, were we"

"So... I think it's best she stays at the manor for now. And I have a feeling that during her time in the palace, she might learn quite a bit about its secrets. Keeping her close could allow us to glean some information we need from her."

Hearing An Xue Tang say this, Mo Yun Jing curled his lips into a smile, "She, a child who has been confined to the cold palace for years, sugar sugar thinks she knows something"

An Xuetang suddenly thought of the expression Shuangshuang had when they were speaking in the Cold Palace before. She narrowed her eyes and said:

“That’s really hard to say, actually. Shuangshuang is better at hiding than Eleven. Her aura can become very faint, almost undetectable.”

As for her point, Ajing, you should know better than anyone. Previously, when the dog emperor imprisoned you in the cold palace, didn't you fail to notice her existence Ever since Dong Gu Gu disappeared, hasn't she been running around the vast palace looking for food after leaving that cold palace herself

"Not to mention, during the time after Dong Gu's departure, she must have experienced many instances of sneaking out from the Cold Palace for food in the dead of night. Perhaps during these difficult days, she uncovered some secrets."

Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow, "That's true, but are you suspecting something, Tangtang"

"Ajing, aren't you investigating the person who broke into the emperor's palace last night I suspect... Shuangshuang might have seen that person."

"...."

Mo Yunjing's pitch-black, deep eyes narrowed slightly. He just looked at An Xuetang without saying anything else, because every time An Xuetang suspected something, there was reason behind it, and every time she was right.

That is why he chose to believe An Xuetang.

And Xue Tang told Mo Yun Jing about Liu Shi and Mo Yun Ze's affair.

Even someone as composed as Mo Yunjing was taken aback for a moment by the news of Mo Yunze and Liu's illicit affair.

I don't know what to say at the moment.

An Xuetang looked at his expression and smiled, "A Jing, didn't you also not expect that Mo Yunze could be so ravenous"

After finishing her words, An Xue Tang felt something was wrong again. She shook her head and said, "Actually, it's not quite right to say I'm desperate for anything. Liu Guifei's appearance is pretty good now, she looks to be in her prime, her skin is flawless, and her figure is also good. Most men would indeed be easily captivated by her."

Mo Yunjing had known all along that An Xuetang wasn't Liu Shi's daughter, so he wasn't surprised by her composure. He was just worried about what Mo Yunze might have done to lead to this situation, and his brows furrowed in concern.

"By the way, Ajing, I've made a condition with him. If he doesn't want the emperor to know about what he's done, he has to help me find that Master Ming Deng within seven days. Otherwise... I'll go to the emperor myself and tell him everything."

Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow, "You'd really say it out loud Don't you care about Liu Gui's life or death"

An Xuetang let out a cold laugh, "I've already repaid what I owed. As for her, I consider myself to have done my utmost. From the moment she became Liu Guifei, our relationship ended completely. Her life and death... I truly don't care at all."

What she said wasn't said out of spite. She genuinely felt she had done enough for Liu Shi. Since Liu Shi had chosen her own path, they would just go their separate ways from now on.

No matter what happens to Liu in the future, it is her own fault. An Xuetang will absolutely not extend a helping hand to her again.

And, Liu shi would very likely use the fact that she isn't the real 'An Xue Tang' against her. She had to be prepared for this, if Liu shi posed a threat to her, An Xue Tang wouldn't let her off just because of the original owner!

Mo Yunjing saw An Xuetang's serious expression and knew she had truly given up on Liu Lan. If that were the case, things would be much easier from now on. This Liu Lan knew too much, and she was prone to emotional decisions, so she couldn't stay.

After finishing talking about Liu Lan, An Xuetang suddenly narrowed her eyes, staring at Mo Yunjing meaningfully. She let out a light cough, "A-Jing, do you know what happened to Duo'er" girl had a fearful emotion toward Ning'er and Shou'er. She turned her head to look at Ning'er and Shou'er, "The two of you go out first."Ning'er immediately objected, "Your Highness, absolutely not."...
