Chapter 258: Flowers

ld make money, that was enough.But after hearing Mo Yunjing's words, she instantly realized that she had oversimplified the world.Yes, in this world where one can buy a young maid for just a few silve...Mo Yunjing's words were icy and piercing, instantly bringing Mo Junyi back to his senses.

He glared at the flower fiercely, wishing he could kill it with his eyes!

A hurt look flashed across Huāduǒ's eyes, and she took two steps back as if frightened.

She may not have done it on purpose, but the two steps she took back somehow landed her right on top of her own skirt hem. With a startled cry, her balance faltered, and she toppled backward.

And she fell in the direction of Mo Yun Jing, so Mo Jun Yi, who had been staring at her, subconsciously felt that this sinister woman must have done it on purpose!

Seeing that she was about to fall into Mo Yunjing's arms, Mo Junyi only saw her deliberate intentions. He was furious and wanted to slap her, but at this moment, Yun Yi who stood beside Mo Yunjing suddenly pulled her aside and stabilized her.

After she steadied herself, Yun Yi quickly let go of her and took a few steps back.

The little flower thanked him repeatedly, but Yun Yi just replied with an emotionless, "You're welcome."

Mo Junyi let out a snort, "Hypocritical!"

Hua Duoer's eyes instantly welled up with tears at his words, looking extremely pitiful. "Young Master, I... I really don't know where I offended you."

Mo Jun Yi narrowed his brows and looked coldly at him, "You've offended this young master everywhere."

He thought that any woman who threatened his mother's status was his enemy!

Huā Duǒ'er felt deeply hurt by Mò Jūn Yì's hostility.

An Xue Tang looked at Mo Yun Jing, seeing the gloomy look on his face, she knew he was unhappy with Mo Jun Yi's actions today. She quickly spoke up, "Zi Ling, you are a prince after all, don't speak in such a tone."

Mo Junyi puckered his mouth, "Oh, but Mother..."

"But what" Mo Yunjing seemed to disapprove of Mo Junshi's unreasonable behavior. He spoke coldly, "Mo Junshi, go back today and copy the Analects of Confucius ten times."

"I..."

Seeing that Mo Jinyi was about to retort against Mo Yunjing in discontent, An Xuetang quickly interjected, "Ziling, don't argue with your Fifth Uncle, or mother will be angry."

As expected, Mo Junyi always listened to An Xuetang. Though unwilling, he lowered his head nonetheless.

An Xuetang hooked a faint smile and looked at Huaduoer, "Children speak without restraint, Miss Hua, don't take it to heart like Zilong."

The flower bud bowed. "Your Highness is too kind,"

An Xue Tang looked at Yun Liu, "Yun Liu, explain."

"Yes." Yunliu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly explained the purpose of this flower's arrival.

It's not uncommon for a defeated country to send beautiful women to the victorious one.

And indeed, this flower was a war trophy sent from the Blue Nation to the Heaven-Dominating Nation.

But the special thing about this flower is that while it was sent over as a war trophy from the Blue Nation, she had met Lan Churon before arriving. Lan Churon instructed her to negotiate well with Mo Yunjing.

As long as Mo Yunjing was willing to send troops to help him reclaim the throne, he was willing to cede three cities to Mo Yunjing.

If he finds three cities too few, then let him take five.

One must say, in order to reclaim that lofty position, Lan Churon has truly gone all out.

This flower was indeed initially given to Mo Yunjing, but before he could express anything, she proactively proposed that she wanted to be sent to the emperor of Tianba Country.

As for why, Huāduǒ didn't say, but she promised that as long as they took her to the Emperor of Tiān Bǎ Guo, she would be willing to provide information to Mò Yúnjǐng and the others. As long as she knew it, she would definitely tell them.

That means this flower actually volunteered to go to the emperor's side as a spy!

This not only shocked Yunyi and the others, but even Moyun Jing was a little confused about what she was trying to do.

Before An Xue Tang and Mo Jun Yi came in, Yun Yi and Yun Liu were already asking about the flower, wondering why it was made this way.

And she's not a teenage girl in her bloom, this flower is well over twenty years old.

But she takes good care of herself, so you wouldn't be able to tell that she's over twenty.

Huāduǒ'er had never said why. Before An Xuetang and the others arrived, Mò Yúnjǐng was going to ask Huāduǒ'er personally about it.

At this moment, after listening to Yunliu's explanation, An Xuetang raised her eyebrows and looked at Huaduoer, "Miss Hua, do you know the saying 'to accompany a king is like accompanying a tiger'"

The flower nodded slightly, "Of course."

"Then why do you insist on going to the emperor's side" An Xuetang's sharp eyes stared at her. "I suppose you should have heard what kind of person our Tianba country's emperor is. If you go to his side, the slightest misstep could result in a horrible death."

"That's right, to be close to the king is like walking with a tiger, one misstep and you'll be shattered to pieces. But... if Your Highness and Her Highness were to give me a chance, Dodo would still insist on entering the capital."

"I have to say, An Xue Tang was surprised, “You’re an orphan now, and you know Blue Chu Rong will never make a comeback. You could choose to disappear and live a peaceful life. Why would you go into the palace, that prison”

Hua Duo'er obviously didn't want to explain. She just pursed her lips and smiled, "Hua Duo'er has her own reasons. Right now, Hua Duo'er only hopes to get the support and help of the King and Queen of Beijiang, after all, relying on Hua Duo'er's ability alone cannot safely appear before the Emperor."

Since she had already said so much, An Xuetang stopped talking and looked at Mo Yunjing.

Mo Yunjing's face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "Since that's the case, this king will follow your wishes."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Yi and said, “Before the Flower Girl enters Beijing, let her get familiar with everything in the capital first.”

Yun Yi clasped his hands together and said, "I understand."

The little flower, seeing his agreement, beamed with joy and knelt down, saying, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Madam."

After thanking the two, she looked at Mo Junyi with a complex gaze, paused for a moment, and then said, "Thank you, Young Master."

Mo Junyi frowned, although he knew her intentions weren't actually his excellent Fifth Uncle, he was still shocked for a moment. But the instant he saw the woman's eyes, he felt she had ill intentions and just couldn't stand her.

At the sound of her thanks, he merely snorted. "This prince hasn't done anything, there's no need for such insincere gratitude."

An Xuetang heard his impolite words and gently raised her hand to pat his head, softly saying, "Do you still want to be beaten by your fifth uncle tonight"

As expected, when the topic of spanking came up, Mo Junyi instinctively tightened his buttocks and looked at Mo Yunjing.

When he met his gaze, those deep and fathomless eyes, he quickly hid behind An Xue Tang.

Seeing how harmoniously Mo Junyi and An Xue Tang got along, Hua Duo's eyes dimmed.

"Yún Yī, take Miss Huā down."

"Yunliu, take the young master to the neighboring camp to copy The Book of Rites."tang wouldn't let Liu shi get into troubleOnce the Emperor knows about this, given his temperament, Liu's life will be forfeit.But Mo Yunze didn't know, as long as it threatened her family Ajing, she...
