Chapter 1222: Let Go
, before the Empress could retort, Huadoer chimed in, "Sister, you claim it was the North Border Princess who poisoned her. What evidence do you have"The Empress immediately fell silent. What evidence...Wu Qi's repeated accusations made An Xue Tang sneer.
Even these five or seven men's minds aren't that simple. Now that things have come to this, they're still trying to use the empathy of their fellow brothers in the Duke's Mansion.
It's a pity, though, that he still underestimated her capabilities.
An Xuetang stared at him, "Do you know why the green snake would attack only you"
Wǔqī pursed her lips, meeting An Xuetang's eyes without the slightest fear, waiting for her next words.
An Xuetang had no time to play riddles with him. Since he wanted to die clearly, she would satisfy him.
"Wǔqī, you are the one responsible for fetching Duǒ'er from the palace. You think that by changing out of your night clothes and deliberately wearing garments with a noticeable smell of sweat, you can conceal the fragrance on a woman's body."
"Too bad you couldn't have anticipated that this Imperial Consort’s pet green snake could recognize scents. Not only that, but I can also make them follow the scent to find you."
“As long as the green snake knows what kind of scent is on Duo’er, it can find people who have the same scent. It was you who carried Duo’er out of the palace wall, so your body is tainted with her scent. That's why the green snake doesn't look for others but only looks for you.”
Wu Qi's face turned pale, but of course he couldn't just accept this. "So, Princess, are you suspecting me based on only a few attacks by those beasts Have you ever considered that perhaps my subordinates accidentally angered the green snake and that's why they attacked"
"..."
Seeing his stubborn look, An Xuetang and the others shook their heads helplessly.
Things have come to this point, what's the point of arguing anymore
An Xue Tang waved her hand, "Yun Si, leave the rest to you. I want them to suffer a living hell and let the brothers in the manor see this too. Tell them that the manor has never forced anyone to stay, whoever wants to leave can go, but those who betray the manor, there is only one path... death."
Yun Si immediately bowed, "Yes, Your Highness, rest assured, I know what to do."
After saying that, Yun Si had Wu Qi and Wu Ba dragged to the dungeon in the Prince's mansion.
……
After Yun Si and the others left, Huāduǒ looked at Jīzi beside her, "Fortunately, everyone around you is careful enough, otherwise I really don't know how to forgive myself today."
The poisoned orange was placed into her hands by her own hands, so once An Xuetang ingested it, she truly didn't know what to do.
"An Xuetang smiled nonchalantly, "Thanks to Ning'er always being so cautious, and because we were too careful, Wu Qi Wu Ba couldn't find any chance to attack me at all, so they had their sights set on you instead."
Over these days, every meal she ate was passed through Ning'er's hands. Even an ordinary cup of warm water would be tasted carefully by Ning'er and her companions for poison before being served to her.
Of course, besides what she eats, everything she wears will be checked over and over again by Ning'er and the others to make sure there are no problems before she can touch it.
Even a letter sent back by Yunliu would have to be checked for poison before Ning'er could receive it.
Sometimes she would say that Ning'er and the others were being too cautious.
However, through today's events, she truly can no longer relax her guard; the enemy is indeed everywhere.
This time, Five Seven Five Eight probably tried every means to get closer to her. But after realizing there was no way to do so, they turned their attention to the flowers in the palace.
The little flower sighed softly, “At least you’re alright in the end.”
An Xuetang didn't care about this matter at all. The only thing she cared about now was Huaduoer's whereabouts, and she was seriously staring into Huaduoer's eyes:
"Duo'er, you've read the contents of the letter. You know what kind of person Mo Yunchen is. Now, can't we just stay here and not return to the palace Your maidservant isn't an issue at all. As long as you confirm that you won't go back, I'll have someone bring Xiaohong out."
Huāduǒ'er was very clear that An Xuetang did everything for her good, and didn't want her to return to the palace where people devoured each other. However, she had made up her mind. Since she had chosen this path, she would never give up halfway.
So she smiled and said, "A Tang, I know you're worried about me, but there's no need to worry. Now I'm disguised perfectly in front of the Emperor, he wouldn't see through it so easily."
An Xuetang frowned deeply, unable to understand. "Now that you've seen through Mo Yunchen's true face, do you really want to work for him A man like Mo Yunchen is not worthy of your devotion, Duo'er. Listen to my advice and leave the palace with Xiao Hong, leave this place of turmoil, and start anew, okay"
She just doesn't understand, that Mo Yunchen is already so bad, what else could Huaduo be thinking about
Taking this incident as an example, Mo Yunchen should have found out the connection between Huaduo'er and Mo Jinyi, which is why he knows that using Mo Jinyi can control Huaduo'er.
Such a person as Mo Yunchen was never right, and now it's highly possible that he knows what happened to Huaduo when she was in Beijiang. She saved Mo Junyi...
A man like him would never accept Flower once he knew what had happened to her.
So no matter what Huāduǒ did, he wouldn't be moved, and no matter what sacrifices Huāduǒ made for him, such a person would not be cared about.
"Hua Duo saw An Xue Tang's indignation and chuckled softly, "A Tang, calm down. Who said I stayed in the palace just for Mo Yun Chen Why couldn't it be for you, for Mo Jun Yi Mo Yun Chen... I let go."
"...."
An Xuetang heard her say 'let it go', and her heart was filled with joy for a moment, "Since you've let it go, then don't return to the palace. It would be good for me, good for Zilong too, we both don't want you to risk yourself for us."
"But," said the flower, shaking her head. "My time with the emperor has shown me that he's not your enemy, but there are forces around him that are deeply hidden. This person is not on the emperor's side, nor is he friendly to you. I even suspect that this person's ultimate goal is to use the emperor as a tool to kill King Beijiang and all of you."
"! "
An Xuetang pondered for a moment, naturally recalling the incident where the so-called "dog emperor" had been tormented in her own palace. Back then, her family's A Jing had been forced by the dog emperor to investigate the truth.
It turned out that they were all insignificant people later on. They even suspected that the person behind it all might be Yun Rui Shi.
After all, nothing happened to the puppet emperor after the incident at Yunrui.
Now that Yun Ruisheng is still alive, Huahua has found something amiss around the emperor. It seems that her and Mo Yunjing's guess back then was right; the person planted by Yun Ruisheng beside the emperor is him.oment isn't it just a provocationIf that's the case, An Xue Tang wouldn't give them a taste of their own medicine. They really think they can bully the former King of Beijiang who was once hated by th...
