aring his words. She picked up the chicken leg from the ground, brushing off the dust, and said, "Young Master, you're worrying too much about that tiger. You probably just had a hallucination, didn't...After finishing her sentence, An Xue Tang called out to Ning'er who was outside the door and told her to go find Yun Si for the previous imperial edict. She said that the imperial edicts from the household would usually be kept by Yun Si in the end.
Yún Sì didn't know what An Xue Tang was trying to do, but he still took out the previous imperial edict and gave it to Níng'er.
Taking the imperial edict from Ning'er, An Xuetang placed the two edicts together. "A-Jing, look here. The imperial seal on the previous edict had this small dot, but today's edict doesn't."
Mo Yun followed his finger and saw that it was true, the small point was indeed very small. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to find it at all.
I don't know what he was thinking, but Mo Yun Jing furrowed his brow, his deep black eyes fixed on the seal.
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "A Jing, what's wrong"
Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes, "Tangtang, do you know what the seal on the imperial edict is"
"Huh What is it"
Isn't that just a seal representing the emperor's status Could there be other interpretations
Before he could ponder for long, Mo Yunjing spoke again, “This is the Seal of State, unique in the world.”
“...”
An Xuetang was stunned. No wonder her family's Ajing had such a surprised expression when he heard the seal was different, it was the so-called national jade seal!
So now there are two imperial seals Or is it something else
Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang glanced at each other, and Mo Yunjing asked Yun Si to bring out all the imperial edicts from before.
Upon comparison, they discovered that not only were the seals on these two edicts different, but also the seals on several years' worth of edicts were dissimilar to these as well!
An Xuetang scratched her head, "A-Jing, what do you think of this It's obvious that the jade seal the Emperor used a few years ago is different from the one he uses now."
“From these imperial edicts, the line is pretty clear. The seal he used five years ago isn't the same as the one he used a few months ago, and today's edict uses a different seal than the ones from a few months ago. So what exactly is going on It's not like there are that many national jade seals.”
Mo Yunjing's pitch-black and profound eyes stared at the seal. After a moment, he said, "He...doesn't have the real Seal of the State!"
He said this with a positive tone.
An Xuetang pursed her lips and blinked, but there was no Imperial Seal in the Emperor's hand. This...was simply inconceivable!
The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment. Mo Yunjing was the first to recover, he looked at An Xuetang and softly said:
"I will get to the bottom of this, you don't need to worry. For now, let's talk about tomorrow. Would you like to come with me to the capital"
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "Indeed, wasn't the Emperor hoping for me to enter the capital to receive his bestowal of gifts If he insists on giving things, how could I refuse"
"The palace is full of danger, and..."
"A-Jing, don't stop me. I'm not afraid of danger. I still have some things to attend to in the palace tomorrow."
Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes slightly, "Tangtang wants to enter the palace, but for your mother's sake"
"... "
He suddenly mentioned the original body's mother, Liu shi. An Xuetang was taken aback. To be honest, she wasn't really going into the palace because of Liu shi.
Moreover, having heard those rumors about Liu Shi before, she was no longer worried about her. Now that Liu Shi was considered the Emperor's person, although the Emperor wouldn't admit it and outsiders were unaware of this connection, An Xue Tang was clear on the matter.
Liu has already been controlled by the Emperor in the imperial palace, and she has used her beauty to be 'favored' by him. Her life should not be bad now.
So An Xue Tang really didn't worry about her. If Mo Yun Jing hadn't brought it up, she would have almost forgotten about Liu Shi's affairs in the palace.
Mo Yunjing saw that she wasn't speaking, so he reached out and gently smoothed her messy hair. His voice was soft:
"If you wish to see your mother, I shall have her brought here to meet you. There is no need for you to enter the palace just to see her; after all, the palace is not a safe place."
An Xuetang came back to her senses, she smiled and shook her head, "It's not because of her, Ajing you didn't say I almost forgot about her in the palace."
"Not for her"
"Well, it's not for her. As for what exactly it is for, you'll find out tomorrow, Ajing. But since you mentioned my mother, it suddenly struck me that I have a father serving in the court, right"
"Well. Your father, Annanlin, currently holds the position of Minister of Rites."
An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, “He’s actually still a minister of Rites Seems like he’s doing pretty well for himself.”
For some reason, An Xuetang had a premonition that during her time in the capital, this "Chen Shimei" of An Nanlin would undoubtedly cause her a lot of trouble.
And then there are her grandparents, those vampires, who could very well cause her more trouble. She'd better think of a way to cut ties with them beforehand.
"Forget about those people, Ajing. Let's eat first. It's getting late. After dinner, we should get some rest early."
Upon hearing An Xuetang's suggestion to rest earlier, Mo Yunjing subconsciously glanced at the bed beside him, a hint of ambiguity flickering in his eyes.
And all of this An Xue Tang was unaware of, she only felt her stomach grow a bit hungry at this moment, after all, it had been quite a day!
After dinner, Feng Ming returned to her room early to rest, while An Xue Tang followed Mo Yun Jing to tour the Bei Jiang Wang Fu.
I have to admit, although King Beijang is out of favor, his palace is truly quite large. Even someone as fast as An Xuetang walking took more than an hour to traverse it.
When she returned to the room, An Xue Tang only felt her legs aching very much. She sat down on the chair and rubbed her legs by herself.
Mo Yunjing saw this scene, he smirked and walked over, squatting in front of her, and directly kneaded her calf.
Tangtang Beijiang Wang was giving her a leg massage, An Xuetang only felt a little surprised and honored. She quickly held down his big hand, "Ajing, no, please get up first."
"Are your legs sore"
"It...it's a little sour, but it doesn't mean you can give me a massage, come on, get up first."
If word got out about Mo Yunjing massaging her calves, that would be a huge scandal!
At that moment, Mo Yunjing's low voice suddenly rang out, "You've changed. The you from before never cared about this king's status, and you would have thought it was only natural for this king to do these little things for you."
" ..."
Mo Yunjing's words made An Xuetang pause for a moment, she had to admit, what Mo Yunjing said was quite right. In this ancient environment, her mindset had indeed changed somewhat.
It's not that she developed patriarchal ideas, but rather that she now cares more about what others think.
No, to be precise, she now starts to care about Mo Yunjing's reputation.
She didn't care about herself, but how the world would view Mo Yunjing. She valued Mo Yunjing more than herself, so she already cared about his reputation and didn't want people to look at him with strange eyes.
After a moment of silence, An Xue Tang suddenly asked, "So, A Jing, what do you think of this change in me Is it good or bad"clench his fists lightly, his sharp eyes fixed on Mo Junyi standing below, his voice cold:"Having seen me, why don't you kneel and beg for mercy Do you know what crimes you have committed"The original...
