y are out of sulfur. Without sulfur, they can't make the explosives packs.An Xue Tang originally planned to fight all the way back to the capital, but now that she was missing the explosives packs, sh...An Xuetang and the others didn't know what Shuangshuang was thinking. After Shou'er went to Fu'er's courtyard, An Xuetang looked at her, "Shuangshuang, why are you still standing there Come sit down and talk."

Shuangshuang pursed her lips, slowly raised her head to look at An Xuetang, her face full of guilt, and whispered, "Your Highness… You don't blame me"

"Fool, what have you done wrong again Why would I blame you Or do you think in your mind I'm someone who readily blames others for no reason"

"No, no."

Shuangshuang hurriedly shook her head. “Princess Consort, she’s not like that.”

An Xuetang chuckled softly and beckoned her closer with a wave of her hand.

After a moment's hesitation, Shuangshuang walked over with trepidation.

When she walked closer, An Xuetang had a faint smile on her lips. She didn't speak, but raised her hand to rub the girl's head. "You haven't done anything wrong, so you don't have to be so careful. Besides, I'm happy that you told me about Fu'er's matter."

Shuangshuang lifted her head and saw that An Xuetang really didn't mean to blame her. The anxiety in her heart finally eased a little, "Thank you, Princess, for understanding."

"Are you hungry Why don't we have lunch together at my place"

Invited by An Xue Tang in this way, Shuang Shuang instantly raised her smiling face and nodded with a hint of excitement, "Okay."

She enjoyed dining with the Princess very much, so even though she knew her own status was inappropriate, she didn't want to refuse at this moment. She wanted to indulge herself a little.

An Xuetang was very pleased to see her agree and immediately told Ning'er to have the kitchen staff bring over the meal.

She didn't have much of a sense of hierarchy and disliked being waited on at meals, so whenever her servant, Ajing, wasn't around, she usually ate with Ning'er and the others.

Now we add another pair, but it's just an extra pair of chopsticks.

The dishes had just been served when Shou'er returned from Fu'er's courtyard. Her face was not good.

Ning'er feared that something had happened again over there, and if it were spoken out, it would affect Madam Wangfei's appetite. So she signaled Shou'er with her eyes to wait until after the meal to talk about it.

An Xuetang saw their eye contact and smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, but said nothing.

Now she wouldn't care about Fu'er's affairs, and she would even spare her life, allowing her to remain in the palace solely for Feng Ming.

Right now, no matter what she does to die, as long as it doesn't affect Fengming's safety, she is willing to do anything.

Then, she motioned for Shou'er and the others to sit down, saying, "Let's discuss whatever it is after we finish our meal. Please, all of you, take a seat."

"Yes."

Five people, including Duo Duo, all started eating.

Everyone ate very quickly. After the kitchen staff had finished clearing the plates and chopsticks, Shou'er spoke up, "Your Highness, Fu'er's condition is truly not good this time. It doesn't seem like she's pretending."

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. "Did she say anything"

"No, I tried to talk to her. Usually, if she had a request, she would have told me right away. But this time, she didn't say a word to me, not even looked at me."

This also puzzled Shou'er, previously whenever she went to find Fu'er, Fu'er wouldn't be in this silent state.

Every time Fu'er saw her before, she would beg her to bring her to see the Valley Master.

Today, Fu'er is uncharacteristically quiet.

Upon hearing Shou'er's words, An Xue Tang couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly. So Fu'er had changed tactics

Toying with someone

What tricks is she up to now Could it be that she's trying to see Feng Ming again

After a moment of silence, An Xue Tang looked at Shou'er, "How is she looking after several days of fasting"

“She had visibly lost weight, and her stomach seemed even more sunken than before. She didn't look like she was carrying a baby for seven or eight months at all.”

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

An Xuetang's brow furrowed slightly. She didn't care about the life or death of the fetus in Fu'er's womb, but whenever she thought of what Fu'er had always emphasized, she couldn't help but take it seriously.

If the child in her womb truly holds the key to Phoenix's awakening, she would ensure its safe arrival.

Ning'er also knew that this child was most likely related to the life and death of their valley master. Hearing Shou'er finish speaking, she frowned, "Did you feel her pulse just now Is the baby in her belly still there"

"It's true, it's just...from her pulse, the fetus in her womb seems a bit like..."

At this, Shou'er pursed her lips and looked into An Xue Tang's eyes, "A bit like a stillbirth."

"!"

An Xuetang's face changed instantly, the water cup she had just picked up trembled involuntarily, "Dead fetus Are you sure"

Shouer shook her head, "The slave girl doesn't dare to be certain. I felt it three times, twice it was like a stillbirth, and once it was a normal pulse."

That's why she said, 'A bit like.'

She considered herself a competent doctor, but when she first checked Fu'er's pulse, she was filled with self-doubt.

After a moment of silence, An Xuetang stood up. “Let’s go have a look.”

Ninger and Shou'er looked at each other, and immediately stood on either side of An Xuetang.

Now Feng Ming's room must be guarded, and Kang'er instinctively took two steps back. She had been in charge of guarding their Valley Master for this period, so at this moment, the three of them naturally divided their work without needing their Princess to specifically order them.

An Xuetang had just taken two steps when she suddenly remembered Shuangshuang. She turned her head and said to Shuangshuang, who was about to leave with her, "Shuangshuang, you stay here and keep your Kang'er sister company."

Shuangshuang is not stupid either. When An Xuetang said that, she knew the other didn't want her to go with them.

Although she also wanted to go and see for herself, since the Princess sister had spoken, she could only nod in agreement, "Alright."

After leaving An Xuetang behind, she took Ning'er and Shou'er away. Kang'er saw that Shuangshuang was not in a good mood, so she walked over to her side and put an arm around her shoulder:

"I know you're worried about Fu'er, but everyone has their own destiny. And each person must pay for their own actions. Whatever happens to Fu'er is her own doing. You little girl shouldn't worry too much about her."

It's unknown whether Shuangshuang actually listened, but she pursed her lips and nodded. "Sister Kang'er, rest assured, I understand."

Kang'er rubbed her head gently, "That's good to know. You sit and rest for a while first, are you tired Why don't you lie down on my resting couch for a bit"

“Not tired.” Shuangshuang looked at the medicinal herbs not far away and asked curiously, “Sister Kang’er, are you making medicine Is there anything I can help with”

Kang'er's lips moved, about to blurt out that this was a medicine pouch being developed to counter the Western Regions people's hallucinogenic drugs. But at that instant, Ning'er's words suddenly echoed in her mind.

Ning'er said, now in this mansion, besides Fu'er, there is another person that everyone might not have the slightest suspicion of: Shuangshuang.

The origin of Shuangshuang has always been a mystery.

If there really were traitors planted by enemies around the Crown Princess, Ning'er felt that the most likely suspect was Shuangshuang right in front of them.wnplay the scars on his face, wanting them to be a constant reminder of who destroyed his family and drove him into homelessness and unimaginable pain!Later, he even treated Zhi'er as her, and believe...
