tructions, fed it to the person on the ground.Ding took a cup of barley tea and handed it to An Xuetang, who immediately tested it for poison with her silver needles.It really is poisoned barley tea!!...But he can't.

Now that An Xuetang is pregnant, she can't be moved around. No matter how much he wants to keep her by his side, he can't.

His eyes never left her face, but he also knew it was time to go.

He stared at her face for what felt like an eternity, then leaned down and gently kissed her forehead, nose, and lips.

Then his gaze fell on her prominent belly, his left hand slowly resting there, and he leaned down again, pressing against her abdomen and murmuring softly:

"You must all be good and not make your mother suffer. If any of you dare to bully your mother, when you come out, your father will punish you severely. Do you hear me"

Although his words were threatening, his tone was so gentle, as if he were afraid of scaring them.

Even though he was reluctant, he finally stood up. He gave An Xuetang one last long look and turned to leave.

But who would have thought that before he could even lift his foot to leave, An Xuetang on the bed had already woken up. She reached out with one hand and grabbed Mo Yunjing's hand.

Mò Yún Jǐng's footsteps stopped, he turned his head and said with a hint of tenderness, "Did I wake you"

An Xuetang shook her head slightly, "Ajing, are you thinking of leaving without saying goodbye again"

Her voice sounded quite wronged. Mo Yunjing let out a soft sigh and sat down beside the bed again.

He raised his right hand to tuck a stray hair behind her ear, "Just didn't want you to see my leaving back."

An Xue Tang looked at him, speechless for a moment. '

At this moment, her throat felt like it was caught in a knot. She felt as if she had a thousand words to say to him, but when they reached her lips, she didn't know what to say.

Mo Yunjing hated seeing her like this. Looking at her expression, his heart felt as if it were being clutched tightly, aching terribly.

In the end, he still pulled her up, gently hugging her in his arms. They remained silent for a while before he leaned into her ear and whispered softly, "While I'm gone, take care of yourself and behave. Wait for me at home."

An Xuetang still remained silent, but the hand on his waist tightened again and again, as if afraid he would immediately pull away.

Mo Yunjing understood her reluctance all too well. He gently loosened his hold on her, cupped her face in one hand, and without a word, leaned down to capture her red lips, kissing her slowly and ardently.

I don't know how long it took, but Mo Yunjing let her go. He pressed his forehead against hers, his voice husky, "Tangtang, wait for me to come back."

"Hmm."

An Xuetang closed her eyes, afraid to speak more, lest he hear the choked sound in her voice.

Mo Yunjing rubbed her long hair, pursed her lips slightly, and finally made up her mind to get up, turn around, and leave.

A series of actions, he couldn't afford to be even a moment slow, for fear that in the slightest instant, he would feel an increasing sense of reluctance and attachment.

An Xuetang abruptly looked up, watching his back grow longer and farther away, sculpted with the precision of a ghost. She gasped for breath.

No wonder he always leaves quietly, seeing someone's leaving figure is actually so heartbreaking and reluctant.

He should understand such pain, so he didn't want her to see his leaving figure.

The moment the door closed, she couldn't tell what came to mind. She suddenly jumped out of bed, not even bothering with her shoes, and ran outside.

She quickly pulled open the door, and Mo Yunjing, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks upon hearing the noise and turned around.

Seeing that she was barefoot, he frowned and almost instantly returned to her side, picking her up in his arms, "What's wrong"

"That reminds me, I forgot to tell you earlier, I will wait for you to come back, but you must promise to return safely. Otherwise, I might get angry, and when I'm angry, the consequences are very serious."

Mo Yunjing's lips curled into a slight smile, "Alright, I promise you, I will return safe and sound."

Don't let yourself get hurt, not even a little bit.

Mo Yunjing's eyes were full of pampering, "Good."

He carried her back to the bed and gently placed her on it.

An Xuetang had just sat down when, before Mo Yunjing could say anything, she bent down to put on her shoes.

Realizing what she was about to do, Mo Yun Jing held her hand, "It's late, get some rest."

An Xuetang shook her head slightly, "I just want to give it to you."

She spoke with absolute conviction. Mo Yunjing sighed helplessly, knowing he couldn't resist her will and ultimately agreed to her request.

He knelt before her and personally helped her put on her shoes.

An Xue Tang only felt her eyes stinging, and she didn't know how much effort she had to put in before she could hold back the tears welling up.

Putting on her shoes, Mo Yunjing pulled her up and they walked out side by side.

Mo Yunjing allowed her to send him off, naturally only allowing her to send him to the gate of the Wangfu.

Although everyone felt reluctant, Mo Yunjing had to leave after all. She tried her best to appear less sad.

But her forbearance could not escape Mo Yunjing's notice. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, pressing his right hand against her head and holding her tightly, as if he wanted to merge with her.

An Xuetang hugged him tightly with both hands. At this moment, she even forgot that she was pregnant and shouldn't hug him so tightly.

Now, she seemed to have regained some sense and just wanted to hug him. Her ear was pressed against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart, and for some reason, she felt a sense of calm wash over her.

After holding each other for a moment, Mo Yunjing gently pushed her away and looked at Yun Si and Ning'er and the others, “Immediately send the princess back to rest.”

Having made his point, he swiftly turned around, mounted his horse, and rode away without even looking back.

The moment the horse's hoof took a step forward, An Xuetang's tears finally couldn't hold back and rolled down her eyelids. She didn't even know she would have such emotions one day, nor did she know if these emotions were caused by her pregnancy.

In the end, she almost forgot that she had once been a heartless killer.

Ninger and Shou'er exchanged glances, then stepped forward, flanking An Xue Tang on either side. Ninger reached out to adjust the cloak on An Xue Tang's shoulders, "Your Highness, it's time to go back."

An Xue Tang came back to her senses and looked forward, but she could no longer see Mo Yun Jing's figure. She gave a low hum of resignation, "Let's go."

Several people turned around and returned to Jingtang Garden, but she didn't know that Moyunjing was watching her from the shadows until she safely returned to Jingtang Garden before he left with peace of mind.

......

Back in the room, An Xuetang couldn't help but secretly cry for a while, perhaps tired from crying, she fell asleep soon after.

She had just fallen asleep when she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and looked pained.

Ning'er stayed by the bed, and when she saw her sweating, Ning'er's face changed slightly. She softly called out, "Your Highness"

An Xue Tang did not respond.

Ning'er anxiously grabbed her hand, but upon touching her, she was even more frightened.

How could their queen be so cold

"Your Highness Your Highness, wake up." She spoke as she checked An Xuetang's pulse.lking about that Xiao girl"The stranger shook his head. "Reporting to Master, the lowly one does not know Miss Xiao's identity. She only said her surname was Xiao and asked the lowly one to bring thes...
