hey were astonished and some whispered to their companions, "This woman is really bold. If she were a man, she would surely be a remarkable figure."Mo Yunjing curled his lips, watching the woman in fr...At this time, the two sat in the carriage. Feng Ming lifted the curtain and looked at the sky outside. Seeing that it was already past noon, he coldly ordered the people outside the carriage: "Find an inn ahead and rest there tonight."

The man driving the carriage outside was a brother of someone from the Tanggu Valley. Hearing the voice of his valley master, he replied, "I understand."

But An Xue Tang heard they were going to stay at an inn, she thought it was a waste of time and quickly shook her head in disapproval. "Brother, let's just skip the inn, we'll get there soon anyway. If we hurry tonight, by tomorrow evening we can reach our destination." Feng Ming gave her a displeased look and said in a firm tone, "No way, you didn't listen to me a few days ago, I put up with it then, but tonight no matter what, you have to listen to me."

But....

"It's nothing, once we get there we'll have to go through all sorts of trouble looking for Mo Yun Jing. We'll have to deal with all kinds of things then, and also find out about Han Yun. At that time it will be a real whirlwind. Are you sure you can rest well"

An Xuetang pursed her lips, "Actually, I'm not tired and don't need to rest."

"But I'm tired, seeing you like this, it tires my heart. Mo Yunjing is important, of course, but to me, you are more important than anything."

An Xuetang helplessly, stared intently into his eyes, "Elder brother, don't do this, really, I am truly not tired."

Her heart ached day and night with worry for Mo Yunjing's life. Every thought of his missing whereabouts, his unknown fate, made her wish to fly to the place where he disappeared, searching for any clue, longing to find him sooner rather than later. So how could she possibly be tired now

Feng Ming frowned and stared at her. A few days ago, he knew she was eager to reach the place where something happened in Mo Yunjing.

Back then, even if she tried to sleep, she probably wouldn't have been able to. So, he simply followed her lead and ordered them to travel day and night without stopping.

But, as a brother, seeing her visibly becoming exhausted and losing her color, he couldn't bear to let her continue without getting proper rest.

Moreover, she is different from ordinary people. She has just given birth to twins. A woman should be well-cared for during her confinement period to avoid harming her health and life.

He has been giving her tonic he made himself these past few days, but even the best tonic can't make up for how badly she mistreats her body.

>He, of all people, knew that once she arrived at the scene of the incident in Moyunjing, she would go to great lengths to investigate every trace. By then, there wouldn't be any possibility of a good rest.

So for the past few days he endured, and for the following days, he also endured how she would busy herself. But tonight, he was going to make her lie down in bed and get a good night's sleep.

His deep eyes stared at An Xuetang, listening to her talk nonsense with her eyes open saying she wasn't tired. His face grew colder, and the words he uttered were absolute: "Tonight, you only listen to me. I've compromised too many times for my brother on this journey; you must compromise for me once."

"Let me allow you to care about Mo Yun Jing, allow you to concern yourself with him and even go all out for him, but you must also allow me to protect you. Take care of you."

An Xue Tang was quite helpless. Seeing his resolute attitude, she knew she couldn't stop him from making this decision tonight.

But she did feel the tiredness in her body, nearing its limit.

She didn't take good care of herself after giving birth, and now she has been through so much in these past few days.

To know that the roads in ancient times were very bad, she almost vomited several times along the way.

Luckily, this carriage was specially built by Yun Si for her. The carriage had several extra layers of padding inside, which made it less uncomfortable to sit up.

Well, my elder brother is right. She'll be even more tired after reaching that place. It's alright to have a good rest tonight.

They continued their journey for another hour or so, and finally found an inn.

Though the inn's conditions looked rather simple, at least there was a bed for An Xuetang to lie down and rest properly.

The journey over the past few days had certainly left her looking disheveled.

After entering the inn, she didn't go to sleep right away. Instead, she asked the shop assistant to prepare hot water so that she could wash up.

Since she couldn't resist her older brother's arrangement, she might as well take a bath. After all, she felt smelly from the days of traveling.

An Xuetang and Feng Ming didn't know that after they entered the inn, the shop boy in the inn cast a thoughtful glance at An Xuetang.

He lowered his eyelids, a glimmer in his eyes.

After Feng Ming and An Xuetang entered the room, the shopkeeper cast a deep look at An Xuetang's room before mysteriously disappearing into the inn's backyard.

He usually lived in a small room in the backyard. When he entered the room, he quietly went to find a portrait.

He was just about to unfold it, his eyes hadn't had time to see the portrait clearly, when the door was suddenly kicked open.

He had no time to react before a gust of wind swept in and someone swiftly pinned him down.

That person held a razor-sharp dagger to his neck. If he moved even slightly, the blade would pierce him and cut off his windpipe in one swift motion.

The sudden change made the shop assistant freeze in place, daring not to make a single struggle. The portrait in his hand was also snatched away by the person behind him.

He knew deep down he was no match for the person behind him.

He didn't even get a clear look at who was controlling him, and now he looked bewildered, "Who are you"

The person behind her didn't answer. At that moment, another figure appeared at the doorway, it was the woman who had just checked in. The person behind her must be the man who was with her earlier.

Indeed, the one controlling him was Feng Ming.

Feng Ming's sharp eyes swept over him, then she struck a point on his meridian, pinning him in place.

It was only then that he opened the portrait he had taken from his hands.

When Feng Ming saw that the portrait depicted An Xue Tang, his eyes instantly became sharp and cold. He glared at the shop boy and said, "Who are you Who sent you"

The shopkeeper, at this time, seemed to have thought of something. He didn't panic and calmly got up.

He did not return to the question of Fengming. His gaze was fixed on the woman who was slowly walking towards him, and he suddenly tentatively called out, “Northern Border Princess”

An Xuetang paused her steps, seeing him with an open and honest expression. She raised an eyebrow slightly, "Your own person"

The shopkeeper let out a deep sigh of relief. Sure enough, she was the princess from Beijiang. He nodded slightly, "I'm a scout from Qingyun Pavilion."

Hearing him claim to be a scout from the Qingyun Pavilion, Feng Ming narrowed his eyes and without a word, directly rolled up his sleeves.

Seeing the mark that belonged to Qingyun Pavilion, he finally believed it and casually waved his hand to unseal his acupoints.

Upon receiving their freedom, the shopkeeper immediately bowed to An Xuetang and Feng Ming. "This subordinate greets Your Highness, Princess, and Master Feng."e sayHe's already like this, she clearly can't refuse... Well... anyway, being eaten dry and wiped clean is her ultimate destiny."Ajing, this time you hurry up, I...I...tired...pain...um"Mo Yunjing's...
