u doing Can't you see that this man is bullying me What are you waiting for Get him!"Those men looked at each other, they were just common laborers, but it was clear that these men from the Beijang王府...An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, "Mother, what do you mean Who told you anything"

Liu shook her head, "No one told me anything, but during this time in the palace, I've heard some rumors. It is said that the Second Prince, who is most likely to become the crown prince, has already had both his legs and arms cut off."

"So what"

"Ah Tang, Prince Bei Jiang is also the Emperor's son. He can lead troops into battle and is a beloved war god by the people. Don't you think he would be perfect as Crown Prince"

An Xuetang gave her a speechless glance and said coldly, "My A Jing is not interested in that position. Don't bring it up again."

"A-Tang, don't you understand even now The most deadly weapon in this world is power! Your mother knows that both you and the King of Beijiang are capable, but no matter how great your abilities, they will be useless in an age where power reigns supreme."

“Now, King Beijang has the full ability to take this position. Why don't you persuade him You must know, only when he stands tall enough, only when he is powerful enough, can he protect your peace for a lifetime.”

"Now he can protect me, so you don't need to worry about this anymore. We have our own choices, and from now on, you just need to take care of yourself."

After saying that, An Xue Tang did not stay any longer. She turned and left. Now Liu Shi was no longer the weakling she used to be; she no longer needed her.

I agreed to meet her, just out of respect for my original self. After all, Liu is the biological mother of this body. I've said what needed to be said, and done what I could. From now on, anything that happens to Liu has nothing to do with me.

Leaving Liu's small courtyard, on the way, Fu'er quietly said to An Xue Tang, "Your Highness, that's Qianyqing Palace ahead."

"The emperor's bedroom"

"Yes, the Emperor had... your mother placed in this corner. It was actually quite convenient for him."

"From now on, address her as 'Mrs. Liu.' Especially when there are outsiders present, don't let slip the fact that she is my mother."

Liu Shi's ambition is huge, and who knows what she might do next. So the two of them pretended to be strangers, being nice to everyone.

Fu'er and Ning'er glanced at each other, and both nodded slightly in response. "Yes."

At this moment, An Xue Tang frowned, following Fu'er's direction. She then turned her head back to look at Liu shi's small courtyard. The distance was indeed close enough. If a secret passage were dug in the courtyard, the emperor could truly visit Liu shi at any time.

An Xue Tang sneered, "This emperor seems to be truly pampering Liu Shi. He must be afraid that the women in the harem would cause trouble for her."

Ning'er kept a calm expression, and then suddenly asked, "Your Highness, what if the Liu family is discovered by the other ladies in the palace"

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "She's been found out."

Fú'er let out a confused, "Then why hasn't anyone bothered her Especially the Empress, she surely wouldn't tolerate this kind of thing, right"

An Xuetang shook her head and smiled, "The Empress is a winner who has fought her way out of the deep palace. Do you think she would be so foolish as to go looking for trouble with Liu shi at this crucial juncture"

Fu'er scratched her head, still puzzled.

Ning'er glanced at her and took the initiative to explain, "These days, the Emperor has been so fond of Liu Shi. If the Empress were to find trouble with Liu Shi at this time, wouldn't it be obvious that she was going against the Emperor Although she is the mistress of the palace, she is also afraid of angering the Emperor and would not do such a foolish thing to upset him."

Fu'er suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. The Empress was afraid of being blamed by the Emperor. In that case, wouldn't Liu shi's life be peaceful from now on No one would be able to bully her anymore After all, she has the Emperor protecting her."

Ning'er heard Fu'er's naive words and a mocking smile curled up at the corner of her lips. She explained, "How many emperors throughout history have truly been devoted and faithful Especially this emperor, do you think his ability to tire of new things and favor old ones would be any different"

"He's just fresh to the Empress Liu now. When he gets tired of her, and after she's been neglected by him, how could the other women in the harem let her off"

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow and gave Ninger a very approving look, teasingly saying, "Ninger, you're a little girl who hasn't experienced love, but you live so clearly."

Ning'er rarely smiled, "The servant girl takes this as the Crown Princess complimenting her."

An Xue Tang raised her hand and gently touched Ning'er's head, "I was praising you all along, besides, I've said many times, I don't want to be called 'this princess' in front of you, and you shouldn't call yourselves slaves either."

Remember, you are the masters of Xuntang Valley, not slaves of the Prince's Mansion. From now on, do not call yourselves slaves. If you really can't stand using the word "I," then just call each other by name.

Fu'er and Ning'er looked at each other, both smiling and saying in unison, "Yes, Fu'er/Ning'er remembers."

Only when she heard them change their tune did An Xuetang smile with satisfaction.

Foley then suddenly added, "Your Highness, I almost forgot, the Emperor is now favored by Liu Shi... so... what about Hua Duo'er Wasn't she here in the capital to enter the palace"

When it came to flowers, An Xuetang's expression instantly became grave. After a moment of silence, she spoke:

"After returning home, I'll talk to Duoer again. Besides, the Crown Prince should have been brought back to our residence by now. I wonder if she has seen him."

Huāduǒ's whole life loved Mòyúnchén, but her knot couldn't be untied. Now she was determined to enter the palace, and nxuetang really didn't have the confidence to persuade her.

However, now the Emperor and Liu are very close. Huaduoer's chances of confusing the Emperor are not very high, so she still needs to have a good talk with Huaduoer about this.

Fu'er and Ning'er looked at each other, both feeling deep sympathy for Huaduo'er. Mainly because Huaduo'er was the daughter of a renowned General who protected the country, personally granted the title of Junzhu by the old Emperor Lan. But her current fate... it was hard to describe.

The three master and servant had just left the palace, and not far from the palace gate, the carriage of Beijang王府 was still there. Shou'er and Kang'er were standing straight in front of the carriage.

An Xuetang didn't see Mo Yunjing's figure, her brows furrowed, "Has the prince not come out yet"

Shouren shook her head slightly, "Replying to the Princess Consort, the King hasn't come out yet. However, Shiyi sent a message to me, saying that the Emperor had something private to discuss with the King, so the King asked you to return to the mansion first and not wait for him."

An Xuetang frowned. Today, the emperor was angered by her to such an extent, and he still had words to say to her family's Ajing

After standing in silence for a moment, An Xuetang nodded slightly, "Alright, then let's return to the house first."

An Xuetang got into the carriage. As several people rushed towards the house, the coachman suddenly stopped abruptly. Fortunately, An Xuetang grabbed onto the window frame and avoided being thrown out by inertia.

"Your Highness, are you alright Are you hurt" As soon as the carriage came to a stop, Ning'er jumped in and checked on An Xue Tang's condition.

An Xuetang pursed her lips, "I'm fine, what happened"

Ninger scowled. "A few people suddenly rushed out to block the way, Your Highness wait here, Ninger will go clean up the mess."more surprised by Feng Ming's sudden collapse.After all, this wasn't the first time he had interacted with Feng Ming. Ever since his injury was healed by the Princess of Beijang, every time they met,...
