After losing their commander, the insects and ants quickly dispersed and disappeared into the weeds, leaving only the wounded warrior kneeling on the ground.

"Your hands need to be rebandaged." Xiao Zhan noticed her gloved hands and frowned slightly.

“You just blocked the opponent’s attack with your hand?” Even though the Ice Silkworm Gloves were extremely strong, they were not indestructible after all.

On the back of the hand, a scar left by a knife wound is clearly visible.

"If I don't take this mission, I might die." Jiang Xue said softly.

"It looks like the wound has been subjected to considerable force and has split open."

She took off one glove, and just as Xiao Zhan said, the bandage was already stained with blood.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhan felt heartbroken, and his anger towards those alchemists grew more intense.

"Somebody come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several disciples of Shuoyue Sect appeared like shadows.

"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"

It had been ordered that everyone in Huyin City of Beixi had to obey the orders of Xiao Zhan and Jiang Xue.

"Except for that woman, clear out everyone else."

He will not let go easily anyone who dares to hurt Xiaoxue.

"Yes, sir!" As soon as the response came out, the black-clad figures acted quickly, and soon, the injured alchemists disappeared without a trace.

"How do we deal with that woman?" Xiao Zhan looked at Jiang Xue and asked. This woman had repeatedly done something bad to her.

Although he wanted to kill her immediately, considering her special status, he could not treat her rashly like an ordinary Taoist priest.

"Send her back to the Prince's Mansion. Don't worry, someone will take care of her."

There are many ways to deal with a person, but it is not appropriate for them to take direct action against someone with a sensitive identity like Mo Huan.

Otherwise, it might affect the friendship between Yun Che and Mo Chenjun over the years.

"The fact that those alchemists are here means that Feng Qiyuan already knows your location and is teaming up with Shangguan Jin to deal with you."

On the way back, Xiao Zhan looked solemn, which meant that the old thief might have also revealed the news to Xiao Yan.

"Yes, this uncle who usurped the throne is not very capable in other matters, but he is very active in hunting me down. I just don't know if he has any information about my brother."

Thinking of Shangguan Jin's obsession with his brother, she felt that he would not tell Feng Qiyuan that his brother was still alive.

However, it is hard to say about the ink ring.

Alas, that woman is such a thorny problem... Perhaps, she should be dealt with sooner rather than later.

When the news of Feng Qiyuan's alchemist's defeat came, Shangguan Jin appeared calm on the surface, but the porcelain cup in his hand shattered silently between his fingers.

Mo Huan couldn't help but tremble slightly when he saw this, and then he mustered up the courage to say, "Your Highness, there is something I think is very important."

"Tell me." Shangguan Jin glanced at her coldly.

Mo Huan told him everything about the conversation between Jiang Xue and the eldest lady in the pavilion. After hearing this, Shangguan Jin's face became even gloomier.

Alas, it was an oversight.

During this period of time, his attention was all on the siblings Jiang Chen and Jiang Xue, and he overlooked the fact that there was a person hiding in the palace who might shake his position.

Now, because of his last act of sacrificing his life to protect the emperor, Mo Ying is enjoying the emperor's favor.

If what Jiang Xue said was true, and Mo Ying was pregnant with a dragon son, then the emperor's favor would surely be transferred to that child.

Mo Ying is by no means an ordinary woman. With the support of the prince, it is hard to say whether she will have the idea of ​​supporting her son to ascend the throne.

What's more, the Mohist army is very powerful. Once they decide to support this child with Mohist blood to succeed to the throne, his position as crown prince will be in jeopardy.

"Is what you said true?" Shangguan Jin asked, staring at Mo Huan.

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true." Mo Huan lowered her head and replied, her voice trembling slightly. She tightly grasped her handkerchief and added: "I am your Highness's confidant, and I dare not hide anything."

Shangguan Jin stared at Mo Huan for a moment, then suddenly stood up, walked towards her, and held her in his arms.

Mo Huan's heart trembled, and she felt Shangguan Jin's breath surrounding her, warm and reassuring.

"Huan'er." Shangguan Jin called her name softly, combing her long hair gently with his fingers.

This was the first time someone called her like this. Only Shangguan Jin knew how much meaning was contained in these two simple words.

"I am touched by your loyalty to me. You are the only one who treats me so sincerely." Shangguan Jin's voice was low and magnetic.

The word "only" touched Mo Huan's heart. As a daughter born out of wedlock, she was always neglected from childhood to adulthood and could only use the leftovers of others.

At this moment, these two words were like nectar that moistened her long-dry heart.

Mohuan never thought that she would be an irreplaceable person in anyone's life.

However, today, her beloved Crown Prince Shangguan Jin said in person that she was the only one, which made her feel unprecedented affirmation and warmth.

At that moment, she made up her mind to remain loyal to him forever and maintain this unique position.

"Whatever you ask, no matter how hard it is, I will do it."

When Shangguan Jin asked softly, she responded firmly, and his eyes turned cold where she couldn't see.

"Si Ruoxin turned out to be Princess Changle. This news really surprised me."

On the next day, Jiang Xue entered the palace as a princess to express her gratitude to the Emperor of Beixi, and also visited the Mo family who took her in.

Although Concubine Mo Ying was pregnant and had difficulty coming to greet him, she still went to greet him in person out of respect for this legendary woman.

After seeing Jiang Xue's peerless beauty, Mo Ying couldn't help but sigh that there was such a beauty in the world.

Faced with the compliments, Jiang Xue felt embarrassed. After all, the person in front of her was equally beautiful.

While the two were talking, the head palace maid brought a bowl of nourishing soup carefully prepared by concubine Mo Huan.

"Your Majesty, please enjoy it while it's hot." The palace maid said as she handed the soup to Mo Ying.

Smelling that familiar smell, Jiang Xue's eyes instantly became sharp. But she didn't say much, just smiled and watched Mo Ying savor the kindness.

"Huan'er is so thoughtful." Mo Ying drank the soup with a happy smile on her face.

Since she was a child, Mo Huan has been one of her closest people. In those unhappy days, it was Mo Huan who gave her support and companionship.

Therefore, when she learned that her sister fell in love with Shangguan Jin, even though her mother opposed it, she secretly helped her and helped the two get together.

Now, during her pregnancy, Mohuan came to visit her more often and took care of her wholeheartedly.

"My queen, please wait a moment." Jiang Xue gently pressed her hand on the edge of the bowl and said to Mo Ying in a serious tone, "For safety reasons, why don't we let Changle taste the soup first?"

Mo Ying was slightly stunned. This soup was made for her by her own sister. Could someone dare to tamper with it?

"People in the palace are unpredictable, especially since Your Majesty is pregnant with a dragon seed. There are many people who want to harm you. It's better to be careful. Changle knows medicine. As long as she tries it, she will know if there is any problem with this soup."

Jiang Xue's words sounded reasonable, so Mo Ying put down the spoon in her hand and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Princess Changle."
