Chapter 199: He Didn’t Want Her to Be Aggrieved (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Emperor Wu Xuan put down his arrogance as an emperor. He was like an elder who was concerned over the marriage of a junior.

The young man in front of him was carefree and lazy. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Emperor Wu Xuan felt that there was a chance. “How is it?”

Xie Xingyun turned his head. “What?”

“Princess Chong An, what do you think of her?”

“No, I don’t know her.”

Emperor Wu Xuan asked curiously, “You’ve been with her for a few days. Don’t you even remember her title?”

“I don’t remember.”

Emperor Wu Xuan was speechless.

“Princess Chong An is Mo Xin. I think she’s not bad. If you like her, you can marry her.”

Xie Xingyun’s expression tensed up. “If that’s the case, I can only resign.”

Emperor Wu Xuan was slightly shocked. “Resign?”

The young man did not look like he was joking. His strong facial features were sharp.

A moment later, the man in the bright yellow dragon robe said, “We’re all family. If you’re unwilling, just reject it. There’s no need to resign.”

Emperor Wu Xuan was a little sincere. “This marriage alliance is just a way for both sides to express their goodwill. Of course, having an in-law relationship can make people feel at ease, but who can really relax?”

Xie Xingyun crossed his arms. “Yes.”

“I have the intention to nurture you, just like Jing Yuan. Old General Bai is my father’s right-hand man, and he and Tanshen are also my right-hand men. However, they are outsiders, and only you are my biological nephew.”

“My most talented nephew. You were born to be a high-ranking official. In the future, if the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, you will also become a great minister supporting the country.”

If anyone in this world heard such praise from an emperor, they would be overjoyed and be willing to sacrifice their lives for him.

However, when the young man in front of him, who had yet to reach twenty in age, heard this, his face was calm.

Xie Xingyun looked up emotionlessly and met Emperor Wu Xuan’s gaze in the air.

His gaze was extremely invasive and even made people feel uncomfortable.

The smile on Emperor Wu Xuan’s lips became more and more obvious, and he did not hide the admiration in his eyes.

After Mo Linyuan and the others left the palace, the envoy waiting outside reported, “Your Highness, Daqing sent news that the great number of treasures meant for Bai Family’s Bai Xianyu have been accounted for and despatched. They will arrive in the capital in a month.”

“Yes.” He was disinterested.

“At the same time, His Majesty has also sent a verbal order for you and Princess Chong An to immediately set off for Daqing.”

After the envoy finished speaking, he added, “Your Highness, the assassination attempt is not child’s play. Last time, it was Miss Bai who saved you. We don’t know when it will happen again. It’s better to set off early and return to Daqing.”

“Mm.” Mo Linyuan looked into the distance, his gaze landing somewhere.

“Get ready to go back.”

On the day of their departure back to Daqing, Mo Linyuan stood at the top of the Great Xiangguo Temple. Cartloads of luggage fully loaded were ready to set off.

He took out a hairpin from his sleeve and was about to pick it up to examine it.

Suddenly, there was a swish!

Blood-colored vines spread out on his chest. Mo Linyuan frowned and half-knelt on the ground. The pain was unbearable, as if someone had torn open his heart alive. He instantly vomited a few mouthfuls of blood!

“Your Highness!” The shadow guards quickly surrounded him and looked around with a ferocious expression. “Who is it!”

A pair of black boots appeared in front of the two of them. Above, the young man held a bow and his sleeves were tied up. His high ponytail was split apart by the strong wind, and the arc in his eyes was extremely cold.

“Xie… Xingyun…” Mo Linyuan could barely say a complete sentence.

Under Xie Xingyun’s slightly raised eyelids, his cold eyes made people tremble. “She almost lost her life. Since she had suffered it for you, you… can repay that.”

The shadow guard immediately treated Mo Linyuan’s wound and retorted, “She blocked the arrow for His Highness at her own will!”

“He does not deserve it.” Xie Xingyun’s voice was extremely cold.

Mo Linyuan smiled slowly. “Yes.”

“I don’t deserve it.”

Xie Xingyun threw the bow and arrow into the lake and walked down the mountain in full view of everyone.

The shadow guard was anxious and furious. His hands moved quickly and skillfully. “Your Highness, Xie Xingyun is so arrogant. Before we leave, 1 will go and inform the vice envoy and asked him to inform the Emperor of Great Kui!”

An hour later, a few shadow guards, the physician, and the pale man were all sweating profusely.

Mo Linyuan looked at his chest. His lips were pale. Xie Xingyun did not hold back at all.

It was aimed directly at his heart. If not for the shadow guard beside him, he might have really died here.

No one dared to slack off. They immediately lifted him and walked down the mountain.

“Your Highness, I’ll go and inform the vice envoy now!”
