Chapter 2061: Time is Running Out

lose to you."The emperor stiffened, his face paling. "What did you say Who Could it be..."The thought of someone lurking beside him made the emperor feel a surge of excitement.Mò Yúnjǐng, however, rem...Mo Yunjing stared at An An, helplessly for a moment before reaching out to gently tap his cheek. His voice was low, "So this is how you're taking revenge on your father Blaming him for not being there when your mother gave birth to you"

Ann didn't know what Mo Yunjing had said at all. At this moment, she blinked her big eyes, staring straight at Mo Yunjing, not looking sleepy at all.

Mo Yunjing stared at him, but still stretched out her hand and picked him up.

An Xuetang had already put on her inner garment. She pursed her lips and looked at Mo Yunjing, who was frowning, with care.

For some reason, looking at him like that made her want to laugh.

Mo Yunjing walked back and forth in the room with An'an in his arms, trying to lull him to sleep.

Aware of a searing gaze burning into him, he turned his head to see who it was.

Seeing the smile in An Xuetang's eyes, his dark eyes narrowed slightly, "Funny"

"No, it's not funny at all. Not funny in the slightest," An Xuetang quickly shook her head. "What on earth is going on with this little An An Don't worry, Ah Jing, I'll remember this grudge tonight. When An An grows up, you can settle the score with him."

Mò Yún Jǐng: "……."

Her schadenfreude expression left him speechless.

Could he be the only one who had his interest disturbed

What can we do now

She is his wife, and he is his son. Each one of them can't be beaten or scolded, they can only be pampered!

Ann was truly like she had done it on purpose. After being held and spun around in the room by Mo Yunjing for a few circles, she finally fell asleep again.

Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang couldn't figure it out. The child had just been soothed to sleep, but after only a short while, he started crying again for no apparent reason. Then, when they saw him, he stopped crying.

He fell asleep again in a flash. Mo Yunjing didn't believe for a moment that it wasn't intentional.

But Mo Yunjing, inexplicably, was completely helpless against him!

After lulling An'an back to sleep, Mo Yunjing completely lost interest.

He just lay down on the bed when An Xue Tang cleared her throat, "A Jing, you worked hard. Let's have a good rest tonight."

Mò Yúnjǐng's pair of emotionless eyes fell on her face, staring for a moment before speaking, "Tángtáng seems quite gleeful about this"

"There isn't." An Xue Tang immediately refuted, afraid that if she was slow, Mo Yun Jing would misunderstand.

The consequences of being misunderstood by him are probably not going to be good.

Besides, after being interrupted by the two children's cries one after another tonight, she truly didn't dare to have any thoughts.

If Mo Yunjing still wants to come, then she'll have to find a way to refuse him.

So, after some thought, An Xue Tang said seriously, “A-Jing, I'm sleepy. Will you sleep with me”

Mo Yunjing: “...” She had used this move to yield and advance, what could he say

He smirked a tender yet exasperated smile, eventually lying down and pulling her into his arms. His voice was low and husky, "Sleep."

Actually, even An Xuetang was beginning to suspect that Pingping and Aanan might have done it on purpose.

This time, after doing nothing with Mo Yunjing, Pingping and An'an truly slept peacefully and soundly, sleeping all the way until dawn.

……

The next few days at the mansion were fairly uneventful.

Because of Mo Yunren's death, the capital city is in turmoil.

Over the past few days, whispers have been circulating in every teahouse, with people speculating about what really happened to Mo Yunren's death.

Furthermore, at court, there were ministers who fearlessly pointed the finger of suspicion at Mo Yunjing.

After all, Mo Yunjing had just returned to the capital when Mo Yunren was murdered.

In the eyes of these ministers, Mo Yunjing became the most suspicious person.

Officials loyal to Mo Yunren even petitioned the emperor, urging him to issue a decree to thoroughly investigate King Beijang.

The emperor remained silent on the petitions, as if he had never seen them.

Even those ministers couldn't tell if the emperor was simply indifferent to the matter or had some other plan in mind.

If this were any other time, the emperor would not have missed any excuse to bring down the King of Beijiang.

But to everyone's surprise, the emperor did not take any action despite such a good opportunity.

This time, the emperor only allowed the Dali Temple to investigate the matter, without directly ordering them to raid the Beijiang Prince's Mansion and search the Beijiang Prince.

In the absence of concrete evidence, officials from Dali Temple naturally wouldn't go after the Beijang王府.

So after several days of investigation, the Dali Temple officials had no leads at all.

They endured immense pressure, placating the people in the Second Prince's manor while also having to appease the pressuring officials.

Thankfully, the Emperor never blamed them, so the Dali Temple could continue investigating the case.

Besides constantly petitioning the Emperor to thoroughly investigate the Bei Jiang Wangfu, the officials on Mo Yun Ren's side also made sure to pave a clear path for his son, Mo Heng.

Although the Emperor did not directly bestow upon Mo Heng the title of King that day, after several days of continuous petitions from the ministers, the Emperor finally relented and issued an imperial decree, proclaiming Mo Heng as the Prince Consort of Youxian.

The Second Prince's Mansion was henceforth renamed the Quiet Scholar's Palace.

Those ministers who had originally supported Mo Yunren could finally rest assured.

Since Mo Heng has already been crowned king, it means the Emperor still doesn't want Prince Yunze of the Fourth Royal Manor to dominate.

If so, then Mo Heng's possibility of ascending the throne in the future would be the same as Mo Yunze's.

As long as these ministers assist and strategize well, the road ahead will still be bright.

......

When Mo Yunze learned that the emperor had bestowed upon Mo Heng the title of King Youxian, he immediately went into a rage, smashing everything in his study that he could reach and letting out a furious tirade.

After he had calmed down, he glared at the strategist beside him through gritted teeth, "I should have had all those ministers killed at the teahouse. Now that brat Mo Heng has been granted a kingship, his starting point is the same as mine. With my father's temperament, that brat might even have a better chance of ascending the throne than me."

"Master always tells me not to worry, not to worry. But Master, look at the situation now, how can I not worry"

"At last, that Mo Yunren is dead. Now his son, Mo Hengzhi, comes after me. If I don't do something, wouldn't that little bastard Mo Hengzhi trample all over me"

After Mo Yunren's death, Mo Yunze became the most likely candidate for the crown prince.

Now that the emperor suddenly bestowed upon Mo Heng the title of king, it means that the emperor does not have high hopes for his son. Therefore, he wants Mo Heng to act as a check on him.

Thinking of this, Mo Yunze was so angry that his fists clenched and his teeth gritted together. He said without any reservation, "Earlier, he was clearly at the end of his life. What went wrong How could his body recover to normal"

"Now the palace is heavily guarded, even if I wanted to act, there's no opportunity! Damn it! What else do they want me to do"

As soon as these words were uttered, the advisor standing beside him immediately raised his hand and said, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. You must not say this."ious place.Just as she was looking around the place, the man had come to his senses. He let out an imperceptible sigh, "Well then, since your people have escaped, so be it. This is their fate, they ar...
