Chapter 47: On the Surname Yun

has issued an imperial decree, ordering Your Highness to defeat the enemy forces and reclaim the lost territory."Mo Yunjing's lips curled into a hint of mockery. He didn't care about the imperial decr...Before, he and Yunliu hadn't specifically avoided this topic here because they thought that people in this place probably wouldn't know what the surname "Yun" meant.

But after An Xuetang's reminder, Mo Yunjing only then realized that this was also a hidden problem.

"Ah Jing, what's wrong" An Xue Tang blinked, a little confused. "Is it that you can't let others know your last name is Yun"

Mo Yunjing narrowed her eyes, "Tangtang, do you know the surname of the current emperor"

“...”

An Xuetang was taken aback, then rummaged through the original owner's memories, "It seems... ink"

Mo Yunjing raised an eyebrow, "Well, surname Mo."

An Xuetang still looked puzzled, "What does that have to do with the Yun family"

The current emperor was not originally surnamed Mo.

"Ah" An Xuetang's eyes widened suddenly, "Could it be... surnamed Yun"

Mo Yunjing curled his lips into a faint smile, "Well, surname Yun."

"...“

An Xuetang was instantly dumbfounded. She blinked her eyes several times, reacting for a long time, "That...that Ah Jing, this..."

Is he not surnamed Yun

What on earth is going on

Mo Yunjing looked at her confused face, which was rather adorable. Unable to resist, he reached out and gently pinched her cheek, "The ancestors of the current emperor surnamed Yun were the imperial family of Tianba Kingdom, while the Mo surname is the maiden name of the current emperor's mother."

"Why change your surname then Changing a national surname is a big deal."

Mo Yunjing didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes deepened slightly, "Because the current emperor almost died at the hands of the previous emperor, after that he united with the previous empress and the empress dowager's family to lead troops into the palace, forcing a coup. The imperial palace was stained with blood, the former emperor died, and the current emperor ascended the throne wearing yellow robes in the name of the former emperor and changed the national surname."

"An Xue Tang pursed her lips, "What reason did he give to the outside world When he changed his surname, those high-ranking officials in court would definitely oppose it strongly, wouldn't they"

Hearing An Xuetang directly address the current emperor as "he", Mo Yunjing narrowed his eyes, "Yes, but when an emperor ascends the throne, whoever takes the lead will lose their head. All those who opposed him were raided and silenced."

"... " Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

An Xuetang frowned speechless, how did it sound like the current emperor was just a foolish ruler

How can such a cruel and heartless person become emperor

Although Mo Yunjing didn't directly say why the previous emperor wanted to execute the current emperor, in An Xuetang's view, it must be that this emperor had done something against heaven.

After all, he is the son of the former emperor. The former emperor couldn't have wanted to execute him for no reason, could he

"And then And then" An Xue Tang had to admit, listening to Mo Yun Jing say these things, she felt a little like she was listening to a story or a book. It wasn't bad.

Mo Yunjing saw that she was so interested, a smirk played on his lips. She was indeed different from others.

If someone else were in my position, they certainly wouldn't want to hear these secrets. After all, in this world, the more you know, the more dangerous it becomes.

But this woman was not aware of that.

Since she was curious, Mo Yunjing didn't hide anything.

"Because of the Chronicle of the Banished, no one dared to say anything about changing surnames."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "Then what's the difference between the original Yun surname and the current one"

"Well, the rest of the late emperor's children, as long as they are still alive, all bear the surname Yun." This is actually a calculation by the one currently on the dragon throne.

He changed his surname, and the rest of the princes and princesses all took the surname Yun. They were hardly considered royal relatives anymore.

After several decades, unless it was explicitly mentioned, no one knew that those surnamed Yun were actually the emperor's siblings.

So, the Cloud family is an awkward presence in the capital.

No one wants to get involved with the Yun family because they are the royal outcastes.

An Xuetang listened, her gaze fixed meaningfully on Mo Yunjing.

Ah Jing also surnamed Yun, so is he the...grandson of the former emperor Nephew of the current emperor

She had always known that he wasn't ordinary, but she only thought he was the child of a high-ranking official.

But now...she suddenly felt that Mo Yunjing's situation was very dangerous.

If he were the grandson of the former emperor, wouldn't he be suppressed and monitored by the current emperor

Moved by the ground, An Xuetang widened her eyes, staring at Mo Yunjing, could it be... the poison on his body was also a masterpiece of the current emperor

As soon as she thought of this, An Xue Tang's eyes darkened.

"Sugar, what's wrong"

An Xue Tang came back to her senses, shook her head, and squatted down in front of Mo Yun Jing. She suddenly took his large hand, "Ah Jing don't worry, I won't let anyone bully you."

"!"

Mo Yunjing's heart warmed, and she smiled faintly, "Good."

Actually, he wished more that she would ask about his identity. Perhaps before, he would have held back, but now, as long as she asked, he would respond.

He didn't really explain things clearly, there were a lot of unanswered questions. Like his "Yunliu" alias, and why he even had the surname Yun. He was counting on her to ask him directly, so he would tell her everything.

Kexiang Xue Tang didn't seem particularly interested in this question.

"Oh, right... then what do we do now" An Xuetang suddenly remembered, Qin family knew his surname was Yun, wouldn't it bring him trouble

Mo Yunjing smiled and said, "Tangtang doesn't need to worry, nothing will happen."

"Well, I hope it's nothing serious." An Xuetang thought about the Qin family seriously. Actually, they didn't seem that threatening.

It should be fine, right

But she still thought in her heart, that she should be more careful in the future, at least not letting others know Ah Jing's last name.

...in order to avoid causing him trouble...

Mo Yunjing's deep, dark eyes stared at her. "Tangtang, what are you doing"

"We shouldn't keep all our money with me. What if it gets stolen or something happens It's better if we each have some stored separately."

Mo Yun's deep black eyes stared at the silver note in her hand, then he took it. "Good."

This was the first time a woman had ever said to him, “Our home,” and the first time a woman had ever given him silver.

An Xue Tang suddenly became a wealthy woman. She and Mo Yun Jing discussed for a long time how these silver taels should be managed.

After all, An Xuetang came from the 21st century, and her financial concepts are still quite strong.

Though the money was enough for her to live a comfortable life for the rest of her days, who would ever say no to more

So, using the money you have to make it work for you is also very necessary.

Her first thought was to open a clinic, but then she considered Mo Yun Jing's identity. If she opened a clinic now, what if Mo Yun Jing was discovered and it put his life in danger

Then An Xue Tang thought about becoming a landlord.

"Ah Jing, do you think it would be good if I bought a lot of fertile land and mountains"

Mo Yun Jing curled his lips, "As long as Tangtang likes it."For what he saw next would haunt his dreams for dozens of nights to come.The closer he got to them, the more distinctly he could smell the thick metallic scent of blood. They followed the smell, and f...
