The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 194: Talking about some unreliable chapters

"However, I wonder if Mo Fuyang will mention this matter to the emperor in private." Xia Yanxiang thought about what happened in her previous life. The news that Mo Fuchen lost the jade pendant had not spread, but people only heard that Mo Fuchen had made a big mistake.

It seems that Mo Yuyang did not expose this matter in his previous life, or Mo Cheng deliberately suppressed the matter.

Mo Yuchen shook his head: "It shouldn't happen. Since Mo Yuyang has already instructed others to start the work, this matter will never be settled privately."

Speaking of private settlement, Mo Cheng did not severely punish Mo Fuchen in his previous life, and Mo Fuyang launched a palace coup not long after. I guess Mo Fuyang regretted it.

Xia Yanxiang stuffed cakes into her mouth while thinking.

Mo Yuchen did not interrupt Xia Yanxiang's thoughts, but just poured tea for her.

It’s a pity that the tea was cold. Mo Yuchen thought about it and decided not to give it to Xia Yanxiang.

"Is there any progress on the jade pendant?"

Mo Yuchen shook his head: "That person hid very well, and none of the four of us were able to find him out."

"None of the four have made any progress." Xia Yanxiang repeated in a low voice, "My poison has no effect either."

"Yan Yan, you're fine now, so just put these things aside for now and don't worry about them." Mo Yuchen didn't want Xia Yanxiang to worry too much, so he pressed Xia Yanxiang's hand which was still stuffing pastries into her mouth.

Xia Yanxiang was interrupted by Mo Yuchen and frowned, but she was not angry: "I know what I'm doing, don't worry."

Mo Yuchen also frowned, but didn't say anything. He mentioned another matter: "Uncle Ling came to see me today. It seems that he also wants to take sides."

Xia Yanxiang paused and fell into deep thought.

In his previous life, King Pin did stand on Mo Yuchen's side, but ever since Mo Yuchen was sent to the Northern Frontier, King Pin has not made any move, and it is unknown whether this stance is sincere.

Seeing that Xia Yanxiang didn't respond, Mo Yuchen didn't disturb her, but drank his herbal tea by himself.

Xia Yanxiang stopped eating the cake, obviously something was wrong.

Seeing this, Mo Yuchen thought Xia Yanxiang had thought of something: "Yanyan, is there a problem?"

"...Nothing." It was the first time that Xia Yanxiang ate so many cakes in the middle of the night. She choked a little. "Can the King of Pin be trusted?"

Mo Yuchen didn't understand why Xia Yanxiang asked this, but he still answered truthfully: "I have been dealing with Uncle Ling for many years, and I can trust him."

Xia Yanxiang did not doubt Mo Yuchen's vision. In this case, Mo Yuchen's failure in his previous life was really strange.

In other words, this King Luo had his own ideas, and he might have been unprepared for the theft of the jade pendant.

Xia Yanxiang looked at Mo Yuchen with an unfathomable look in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it: "Pin Wang's joining will naturally be of great help to you."

"I refuse." Mo Yuchen immediately took over Xia Yanxiang's words, put down the teacup in his hand, and looked into Xia Yanxiang's eyes seriously.

Xia Yanxiang didn't understand: "Why?"

"Now that I am engaged to you, in the eyes of outsiders and my father, I am more helpful than Prince Yuan. A tall tree attracts the wind. If Uncle Ling were to stand in the same row with me again, I'm sure my father wouldn't tolerate it."

Perhaps if there had been no engagement with Yanyan, Mo Chen might have agreed to Ling Shang's decision, but things were different now. No matter how much Mo Chen wanted to increase his strength, he now had to consider the Tu family.

Xia Yanxiang was silent. She had to admit that Mo Yuchen's worries were justified. But if they just let go of Pin Wang, such a great helper, wasn't they worried that he would join Mo Yuyang's team?

"That's true, but if we reject Prince Pin so openly, will Prince Pin be angry and embarrassed?"

Xia Yanxiang didn't finish the rest of her sentence, but Mo Yuchen understood what she meant: "Don't worry, Uncle Ling wants to stand on my side only because of Princess Youchun, not because he is worried about his own status."

"Uncle Ling is the only prince of a different surname in the Darong Dynasty. His position is almost unshakable. Even if I or Prince Yuan sit in that position, we will not be able to shake his position in a short period of time."

Xia Yanxiang nodded and felt relieved. Since Mo Yuchen said so, there shouldn't be any big problem.

Mo Yuchen was not worried about Ling Shang's betrayal, but he was worried about Ling Ning causing trouble for Xia Yanxiang: "I rejected Uncle Ling, but I'm not sure if Princess Youchun will cause trouble for you."

Mo Fuchen was not worried that Ling Ning would secretly help Mo Fuyang. After all, even if Mo Fuchen didn't like Ling Ning, he knew that Ling Ning actually hated Mo Fuyang too. Every time she gave Mo Fuyang a bad look, it was with her own emotions, and it might not be all for Mo Fuchen.

Xia Yanxiang smiled. She was not worried about this problem. "Princess Youchun has just reached the age of marriage. She is just a child. There is no need to worry."

"Besides, Princess Youchun was born a military general and has a simple mind. I guess she doesn't have as many tricks as Xia Jianxiang to deal with the dirty things in the harem."

Xia Jianxiang's methods were already not good enough in the big houses. How could Ling Ning, a little girl who grew up in a military camp, possibly defeat Xia Yanxiang?

Mo Yuchen laughed when he heard what Xia Yanxiang said: "Yanyan, why do you have to make yourself sound like a scheming person?"

Xia Yanxiang didn't say that she was very scheming, but she always had it, but she just didn't bother to use it in the past.

"Mo Yuchen, it seems you still don't understand what's going on in the backyard," Xia Yanxiang poured herself a cup of cold tea, "How can a woman born in a big house be without any schemes?"

Mo Yuchen held down Xia Yanxiang's hand as she poured tea: "Yanyan, herbal tea is harmful to your health."

"Mo Yuchen, a woman's heart is as elusive as a needle in the sea." Xia Yanxiang did not move as he was told, "Don't have naive thoughts about any woman."

Xia Yanxiang looked straight into Mo Yuchen's eyes, but the words that came out of her mouth were chilling.

Mo Yuchen didn't answer, and looked into Xia Yanxiang's eyes: "Yanyan, I have never had pure thoughts about any woman. Being scheming is not necessarily a bad thing."

"What's more, if you really are the kind of spoiled young lady who is ignorant of the ways of the world, who knows? I might not even go to ask my father to grant you a marriage in person." Although Mo Yuchen was smiling and his words sounded nonsensical, his eyes were sincere.

Xia Yanxiang was stung by the sincerity in Mo Yuchen's eyes and avoided his gaze: "Don't say sweet words now."

Mo Yuchen knew that Xia Yanxiang didn't believe him, and he didn't expect to coax her with words: "That's right, we are all going to get married, and it's really unreasonable to say these things."

Xia Yanxiang rolled her eyes at Mo Yuchen.

What a thick skin!

"How about it?"

"Your Highness, everything is ready. Prince Luo came yesterday, but he did not mention the transfer of silver."

Mo Yuyang smiled, but the words that came out of his mouth were extremely cold.
