When she mentioned that man, Xiaohong only then remembered that she hadn't seen him after waking up. Her expression became even more anxious than before. "He... where is he?"

An Xuetang's gaze held a deep meaning as she stared at her, "It seems that you haven't taken Ning'er's words to heart at all."

As soon as An Xue Tang finished speaking, Ning'er drew a dagger from her waist.

"No... Don't, slave girl... Slave girl says."

Ning'er was really frightening, and Xiaohong didn't dare to ask another word. That man was important, but Xiaohong valued her life more.

She still wanted to live a good life with him, what if she became mute and he ended up disliking her?

At this moment, she could only tell the story slowly. That man was indeed Mo Yunchen's person. She even spoke about how that man had told her he missed and thought of her, and the promises he had made to her.

Mo Yunchen also promised to give Huaduoer the title of empress, and she revealed this as well. She originally intended to keep it a secret, but Ning'er held a dagger beside her. When she was about to lie, Ning'er immediately placed the blade against her face. Ning'er seemed to know what she was thinking all along; it was truly unsettling how perceptive she was.

In such a situation, where would she dare to play tricks anymore?

You have to tell me everything.

An Xuetang sneered after hearing this, Mo Yunchen's vision was just like that.

After much deliberation, it boils down to the same thing: wanting Huāduǒ to continue as his eyeliner and help him deal with the emperor.

To make Huaduo obedient, he even said from the bottom of his heart that he would make her his empress.

Moreover, Mo Yunchen didn't personally write a letter or leave any artifacts that could prove his identity. Wasn't he afraid that after the flowers wilted, Hua Duoer would use those things to hold him accountable for his promise?

With his blatant lies, Mo Yunchen has completely lost all shame now.

An Xue Tang thought back to herself actually connecting her arm with this kind of person, making him look like a normal person. She felt nauseous, as if she had eaten a fly, in her heart.

But settling accounts after autumn isn't too late. It's not just for the flowers, but also for Mo Junyi and her family's Ah Jing. She won't let Mo Yunchen off easily.

Let him bounce around for a while longer.

Having thoroughly understood the ins and outs of the situation, Mo Yunchen's arranged people had been killed, An Xuetang no longer bothered with Mo Yunchen's side. She now turned her attention to Xiaohong:

"Your young mistress has asked this noble concubine to find you a good husband. Do you have any thoughts on the matter?"

Xiaohong didn't understand what An Xue Tang meant for a moment, she looked at An Xue Tang in a daze.

Ning'er saw that their own princess yawned, and immediately patted Xiaohong's face with the back of her knife, "Don't dawdle. You betrayed Miss Duo'er, but Miss Duo'er, considering your many years of master-servant relationship, spared your life and even specially asked us to help you find a good family so that you can live a good life in the future. However, the capital city is definitely not a place where you can continue to stay. So do you have any place you want to go? We'll send someone to take you there."

"When Ning'er finished speaking, An Xuetang suddenly remembered that Xiaohong and Huador were originally from Lan Guo. She added, “If you want to go back to Lan Guo, you can.”

"No...no...The slave will not leave."

Xiao Hong shook her head sharply, showing strong resistance.

She knew this place was under An Xue Tang's rule, so she immediately looked at An Xue Tang, wanting to crawl to her feet and beg for mercy. However, Ning'er's dagger was still against her face. Seeing her move, Ning'er exerted a little more force, the cold blade preventing Xiaohong from making any rash moves.

She was tearful and looked at An Xue Tang with grievance, "Your Highness, the servant doesn't want to leave, the servant doesn't want to leave here. Can you please let the servant return to the palace?"

An Xuetang let out a cold smile. "Why would I send you back to the palace? To continue betraying your master? To continue inviting wolves into the house?"

"No...no, slave girl has not, slave girl has not betrayed young mistress."

So, in your eyes, what constitutes betrayal? You know that Duo'er has decided to cut ties with Mo Yunchen, yet you still secretly contact his people behind her back and conspire with them. Isn't this betrayal?

"You still know that Duo'er is your master, don't you? Since you know she is your master, why don't you obey her orders?"

Xiaohong was speechless after being scolded. She choked back tears for a long time before saying, “My... my young mistress is in love with the Crown Prince. I did this to help her. The Crown Prince has promised that after he succeeds, he will make my young mistress his empress. Everything I did was for my young mistress.”

After finishing, and whether to persuade An Xue Tang and the others or to convince herself, Xiaohong nodded heavily again, repeating, “That’s right, this servant did all this for my young mistress.”

"..."

"A mocking smile curled at An Xuetang's lips, "Is that so? So you're saying you never harbored any ill intentions towards your young mistress all along?"

That's natural.

An Xuetang didn't refute her, her smiling yet not-smiling eyes gazed deeply into Xiaohong's, then turned to Ninger, and said slowly:

"Ninger, since Xiao Hong is so devoted to her mistress and eager to return to the palace to take care of Duo'er, why don't you make another trip to the palace and ask Duo'er what she thinks?"

Tell her that Xiaohong still wants to stay by her side and serve her, see if she will let Xiaohong go back.

After that, she raised an eyebrow, “Anyway, the person sent by Mo Yunchen is already dead. In the future…”

“What?” Xiao Hong’s shrill voice lost control again, she had almost forgotten her own situation. Her eyes, bloodshot red, stared fiercely at An Xue Tang, and roared, “Who died? Who did you say died?”

As for her attitude and questioning, An Xuetang didn't get angry at all. Her eyes, seeming to smile yet not smile, just stared at Xiaohong, "Giving up the act?"

At this moment, Xiaohong didn't want to think about anything else. All she cared about was finding out the fate of the person in her heart. The thought that the person might be dead overwhelmed her, and she couldn't control herself.

Her mind was filled with only that man, and she couldn't even remember who she was. Her eyes full of hatred glared fiercely at An Xuetang and roared, "Where is he? What have you done to him? You can't hurt her."

""

Everyone present was speechless at her matter-of-fact command, many wanting to roll their eyes. An Xuetang simply shook her head and smiled helplessly.

So this is what they call being in love?

This is her first time seeing it.

But this way, she also completely knew what was going on. Xiaohong knew too much, and as someone so infatuated with love, her casual words could drive her crazy.

Such people are very dangerous to them, especially if she ever falls into the enemy's hands, she is sure to divulge everything she knows.

Not only did An Xuetang think of this, but Ning'er and the others also thought of it.

Ninger and Shou'er exchanged a glance. Shou'er turned around to rummage through the medicine chest, took out a bottle of medicine water, and walked up to Xiaohong.

Shou'er looked at An Xuetang, waiting for her mistress's command.
