nd scurried back to An Xuetang's side.Hua Xiang paused, she touched her aching face. After feeling the blood, she suppressed her anger and looked at An Xue Tang, gritting her teeth, "Do you really th...After listening to Xiaohong's explanation, An Xue Tang stared at her with an unreadable expression for a long while.

Even Ning'er and Shour were worried that An Xuetang would soften her heart after hearing Xiaohong's explanation and let Xiaohong go.

After an unknown length of time, An Xue Tang finally spoke, “Xiao Hong, as for your young mistress, this concubine will find someone else to take care of her.”

So you can just kill yourself.

Although Xiaohong wasn't the brightest bulb, she understood the subtext in An Xuetang's words.

Thus, she deeply kowtowed to An Xuetang and in the next instant turned and rushed toward the deep lake beside the artificial mountain.

She plunged in with little resistance, her body sinking slowly and steadily.

An Xue Tang and the other two stared blankly at the lake surface until they were sure Xiaohong was dead. Only then did the three turn and leave.

Ning'er and Shou'er didn't ask Xue Tang why she had to have Xiaohong killed, after all, they both knew very well that a maidservant like Xiaohong, who was once disloyal, would one day bring great disaster to Huado'er if she stayed by her side.

Given her ability to carry flowers today and do such a thing, who can guarantee she won't do something else in the future

So let her die, it's also for the safety of the flowers.

Even if the flower herself wouldn't want to see Xiaohong meet with misfortune, in An Xue Tang and Ning'er's eyes, Xiaohong had to die.

On the one hand, it's to prevent Xiaohong from having another chance to target An Xuetang. On the other hand, it's to avoid putting Huaduo in danger because of Xiaohong's actions.

So Xiao Hong's death was unavoidable.

After leaving the garden, An Xuetang and Ning'er went directly to Huaduo'er's residence, avoiding the people in the palace.

Seeing An Xue Tang, Huaduo suddenly stood up from the chair, "A Tang, you're here."

"An Xue Tang hummed in response, walked over, pretending not to know about Xiao Hong's visit, and said calmly, 'I thought I rarely get the chance to enter the palace, so I came uninvited. I just wanted to see how you're doing, Duo'er. You won't blame me, will you'"

“...”

The little flower was stunned for a moment, her brow furrowed. "Uninvited What do you mean I...I had Xiaohong look for you already, Ah Tang. Didn't you see her"

"Little Red"

An Xuetang's acting was still good at this time. She shook her head in confusion, "I didn't see Xiaohong. What did she ask you to find me for How long has she been gone"

Hlower heard her say this and a sense of unease welled up inside her. But she knew that An Xue Tang couldn't stay here long, so she said:

"It's fine, maybe she got caught by someone. I'll have someone look for her later, Ah Tang, I... there are some things I want to ask you."

An Xuetang nodded. "You ask."

At this point, Huāduǒ didn't hesitate and directly asked, "The other day I heard Běijiāng Wáng say that the Běijiāng army might not listen to Mò Yúnchén. What...what is going on Could something have happened to Mò Yúnchén"

Is the Northern Army necessarily obedient to Mo Yunchen

This also caused a hint of confusion to flash in An Xuetang's eyes.

After a moment of silence, An Xue Tang spoke, "Is this truly something our Ah Jing would say"

"Well, I heard it with my own ears."

"..."

An Xue Tang paused for a moment, "To be honest, I don't really know what's going on with this. But you don't have to worry about Mo Yun Chen, he's doing alright right now and can still contact other countries, preparing to betray the country and sell it out, so there's no need for you to worry about him."

Actually, she just wanted to tell Huaduo: "Don't use your affection excessively; it only brings misfortune!"

But seeing the flower like this, she knew that no matter what she said it would be useless.

After all, truly loving someone involves putting in thought and effort. A heart that has already been given away cannot be easily taken back just by saying so.

I only hope that Huahua will learn more about Mo Yunchen's true nature. Only by letting her completely lose faith in Mo Yunchen can the heart she has given him possibly be retrieved.

Knowing that Mo Yunchen was alright, Huaduo felt much more at ease. She looked apologetically at An Xuetang, "A Tang, do you blame him"

This "he" didn't name names, but everyone present knew exactly who he was referring to: Mo Yunchen.

The northern border was originally the fiefdom of Mo Yunjing, and the Northern Border Army also answered to him. However, it has now fallen into the hands of Mo Yunchen.

This is equivalent to Mo Yunjing's painstaking efforts over the years being completely snatched away by Mo Yunchen. If this happened to anyone, who could remain indifferent Who could have no resentment

So when the flower asked this, she instantly felt how foolish her question was.

"As for me personally, I definitely think it's strange," An Xuetang replied without hesitation. "To someone who steals the fruits of other people's labor halfway through, no matter how many times you ask, my answer will always be the same."

Speaking of this, An Xuetang sighed helplessly and continued, "However, the Northern Border Army is not mine. I didn't spend so much energy cultivating them. It was my family's Ajing and that group of Yun Family soldiers. As long as they don't blame me, there's nothing I can do about it."

Hearing what An Xuetang said, Huaduo's guilt deepened. Her life was saved by An Xuetang, but now she was acting as a spy for Moyunchen. Her unwavering choice to side with Moyunchen was a betrayal of An Xuetang.

A Xue Tang could guess what Hua Hua was feeling guilty about. She just said:

“Forget it, let the men handle this. I came to you today mainly to ask again, are you really not going to leave here That emperor probably won't be boasting for long, after all, the people eyeing the throne aren't just Mo Yunchen, Mo Yunze even includes the crippled Mo Yunren. They all want that position.”

"Your current position in the palace will only become more dangerous, especially since you are now the Emperor's most favored concubine. Besides the women in the harem who envy you, there are also princes who covet the throne. They won't miss the opportunity to take advantage of you."

Therefore, the more popular something is now, the more dangerous its situation becomes.

Even though An Xue Tang still hoped she wouldn't foolishly stay in this bloodless, treacherous palace for Mo Yun Chen, after all, it wasn't worth sacrificing herself for someone like him who was ungrateful and ruthless.

The logic of a flower, it understands. Sadly, some things are not within her capacity to reason through rationally. So even though An Xuetang analyzed everything with sincerity and candor, she still chose to remain in the palace.

An Xuetang felt a pang of frustration, but ultimately this was Huaduo'er's own choice. She stopped persuading her, exchanged a few polite words, and then left.

……

At this time, Mo Yunjing had already reached an impasse with the emperor. Every time the emperor pestered Mo Yunjing, he would ask about the northern border, the war with Chi Guo, and the whereabouts of that secret weapon.

Mo Yun Jing would never answer him this way every time. The two of them still left on bad terms.

Having seen An Xue Tang off, the group left the palace.

Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang had just sat down in the carriage when An Xuetang noticed that the man beside her was radiating anger.

She thought maybe the emperor had done something to upset them, and was about to carefully ask, but at that moment, Mo Yunjing beat her to it, his face dark and cold as he spoke, "Sugar Sugar, are you truly going to continue letting Huā Duǒ live"
