wing the footprints, it seems Yunliu entered this wooden house.Yun Si didn't see anything amiss and was about to rush into the wooden hut, but Han Yun grabbed him.Yun Si's confused eyes stared at him,...But since An Xuetang was unwilling to come out, they had no choice but to go back and report the situation to Liu Guifei.

Seeing the two palace maids leave, Shour turned around and looked at her surroundings. After making sure there was nothing amiss, she jumped again and entered the courtyard.

An Xuetang didn't know what she was doing, she just walked around the yard over and over again.

Ning'er and Shou'er also clearly sensed it, there was someone in this small courtyard... !

He was just so good at hiding. At such close proximity, the two of them couldn't tell where he was. All they could sense was that someone was definitely near them.

Seeing Ning'er and Shou'er's anxious expressions, An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile. She didn't say a word, just walked up to Ning'er and Shou'er, patted their shoulders, and motioned for them not to worry.

The main reason was that An Xue Tang didn't feel any killing intent from this person. And for some reason, she always felt that this person was probably related to the former empress.

If we could gain his trust, maybe we could uncover the mysteries left behind by the former empress.

Neither Ninger nor Shouer knew what An Xuetang was looking for. All they could do was glance at each other and continue waiting, watching to see what An Xuetang's plan was.

In a short while, they heard the sound of someone running lightly in the alley outside their courtyard, likely the two maids had returned.

Shou'er glanced at An Xuetang, and upon receiving her permission, she immediately leaped out. The two palace maids did indeed have some ingredients in their hands.

At the same time, they even grabbed a cooking pot. Shou'er raised an eyebrow and took the thing from their hands before leaping back into the courtyard.

An Xuetang and Ning'er took the thing from her hand, then the two turned and entered the kitchen.

Ning'er saw this part of the kitchen and suddenly understood why An Xuetang had these strange actions.

This place is clearly desolate, but there's a spot in the kitchen that's surprisingly clean. Not only is it free of dust, but there's even usable firewood inside.

It seems that someone frequently cooks here in this desolate place.

Thinking this way, Ning'er glanced at An Xue Tang and Shou'er. At this time, Shou'er also understood, and she looked at An Xue Tang too.

An Xue Tang curled her lips into a smile, didn't say anything, and let them handle the ingredients. She made some food with her own hands.

The two maids brought back not much, just some white flour and some meat.

This fatty and lean pork, An Xuetang had already thought about making braised pork, but after thinking carefully, she didn't have sugar, so in the end, she could only simply stir-fry the meat.

After the meat was served, the remaining oil was used to make a bowl of "ge das tang," which she often drank when she was on missions in the north in the 21st century.

The aroma of this congee was so enticing that even Ning'er and Shou'er, the two little ones, couldn't control their rumbling stomachs.

Ning'er simply smiled calmly, Shou'er immediately nodded repeatedly, "Fragrant, Your Highness, this is too fragrant!"

"Let's eat first. Oh dear, we only have this one pot and this one dish. How are we going to eat I forgot to ask them for some bowls and chopsticks."

Now Shour is a little hungry, hearing An Xuetang say this, she immediately said, "Your Highness, I'll go tell them to bring it over, how about that"

An Xuetang let out a chuckle, "Nevermind, we three don't dislike each other anyway, so we might as well eat from this one pot. Ning'er, go fetch three pairs of chopsticks and have some of this meat."

"Shouer, why don't you take a look in that corner Although it seems desolate here, I just saw some porcelain. There might be some porcelain spoons hidden there. If you find any, just give them a quick wash."

After An Xue Tang's instructions, Ning'er and Shou'er immediately went to carry them out.

An Xuetang's gaze shifted to a certain corner, that place moved noticeably, the sound more distinct than before.

It seems the aroma has also whetted this person's appetite.

Ning'er and Shou'er quickly found what An Xue Tang needed, and An Xue Tang coughed deliberately in the courtyard:

"Ning'er, Shou'er, I'll just have a little. You two exercise a lot every day and have big appetites, so you should take all of this. I believe you can definitely finish it all."

Ning'er and Shou'er both smiled at each other, saying in unison, "Yes."

An Xuetang took a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewing for a few times before she couldn't help but exclaim, "The meat in the palace is indeed fresh and delicious. Ning'er, Shou'er, what do you think"

The two of them knew exactly what An Xue Tang was trying to do, so they smiled knowingly and hummed in response.

The three of them ate as if they were deliberately trying to tempt others, occasionally letting out exclamations that made everyone else drool.

As she was eating, An Xuetang suddenly tapped the table, "Oh my, I can't eat anymore, there are only a few pieces of meat left. Ning'er, Shou'er, you two share them and finish them all, there aren't many anyway."

Ning'er and Shou'er looked at the full plate of meat, they smiled at each other, but still said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Just then, An Xuetang narrowed her eyes and cast a thoughtful glance under the table.

She smirked without speaking. Ning'er and Shou'er, as if on purpose, made their eating sounds louder than usual.

As expected, within seconds, the movement underground grew louder and louder. It was then that Ning'er and Shou'er realized that the person had been hiding underground all along!

An Xuetang saw that it was almost time, she stamped her foot and said to somewhere on the ground, "Aren't you going to come out You really don't want to eat"

“...”

As soon as An Xuetang said this, the man was clearly frightened. He probably didn't expect to be found out.

After a moment of silence, suddenly someone moved a large flower pot from beneath in one corner of the yard.

Ning'er and Shou'er didn't know who this person was. The two of them jumped up and quickly protected An Xuetang behind them.

Three pairs of eyes stared intently at the person slowly climbing up.

After this person arrived, An Xuetang narrowed her eyes. She had always assumed it was a palace maid or eunuch who was slacking off here or had something to do.

But when she saw a dirty little girl slowly climbing up, the girl was about ten years old. Her big eyes were very clear and somewhat timid. For some reason, An Xue Tang felt a fondness for her when she looked at them.

The girl squatted on the ground, her big eyes fixed on An Xuetang, her lips moving slightly, but she didn't speak.

An Xuetang stared at her for a moment, then patted Ning'er and Shou'er on the shoulders, signaling them to step aside.

Ning'er and Shou'er perhaps didn't notice the danger in this girl. Right now, both of them leaned aside, letting An Xuetang walk past.

An Xuetang walked step by step toward the girl. The girl was a little afraid, she shrank her whole body backward until she reached a corner with nowhere to retreat.

An Xuetang stared at the girl, "Who are you" dear, when this palace finishes its business, I will definitely ask the emperor of Tianba to give you to me."Hearing this voice, Ning'er was momentarily stunned before realizing that the man was actu...
