be terrible!Feng Ming was also shocked by the scene before him. He pursed his lips and looked at Xunluo, coldly saying:“Make it clear to everyone responsible for carrying explosives to the battlefield...I just don't know, what could have prompted King Beijang to come up with such a chain of schemes

After the Northern King used the Emperor to tie down the Fourth Prince, what was his real purpose

Zhu Xing merely thought about it in his heart and didn't delve deeper. After all, he had always ignored such matters, especially the struggles between the various princes. He would not participate in them.

So even though he knew he was being used by the King of Beijang, he wouldn't say anything about it right now. He'd just pretend he didn't know anything!

Zhu Xing walked up to Mo Yunze and bowed. Then he said, "Fourth Prince, the Emperor is truly anxious for you to go."

Mo Yunze frowned, "Lord Zhu, what happened to my father Why is he so eager to see me"

Seeing Mo Yunze's heavy expression, Zhu Xing thought for a moment and still said, "Reporting to Your Highness, the Emperor didn't order Your Highness and King Beijang to investigate last night's case with me Just now, only I and King Beijang were investigating. The Emperor probably wanted to know because this incident angered Fourth Prince."

"I see," Mo Yunze, relieved to know the truth, relaxed slightly.

Zhu Xing and Cao Gonggong saw this, but the two still pretended not to know anything and remained silent.

Mo Yunze cast a meaningful glance at Yunliu and Yunxi before following Cao Gonggong away.

Yúnliù and Shíyī then bid farewell to Zhūxīng and returned to the palace.

Zhu Xing looked thoughtfully in the direction Yun Liu and Eleven had left. At this moment, his attendant approached him and said, "My lord, I feel like the King of Beijiang invited us to the palace today for a purpose."

Zhu Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, then a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth. "This matter is not to be discussed again. Today you and I enter the palace merely to investigate last night's case, it has nothing to do with what happened in the palace today."

Zhu Xing isn't stupid. Thinking carefully, since he entered the palace today, hasn't every single thing been guided by King Beijiang

The King of Beijang brought him into the palace, and by a strange coincidence he ran into trouble in the Empress's palace, even causing a fatality.

He cleared the Northern Frontier Princess of suspicion through his actions, and in a twist of fate, also caused the Fourth Prince to be reprimanded by the Emperor.

The chain strategy used by King Beijiang today is truly impressive.

Just, today besides the death of the ex-Crown Princess, there should be something else going on with the King of Beijang. What exactly it is, he couldn't guess, and he didn't want to guess.

Zhu Xing, having come to an understanding, looked at the attendant beside him and instructed, "If anyone asks about today's events, just say what you saw and experienced. Do not speculate or speak out of turn."

The attendant nodded slightly and said yes, he naturally listened to Zhu Xing. After all, for these things that required thinking, he couldn't even imagine the level that Lord Zhu could think of.

Zhu Xing patted his shoulder, "Let's go, our mission for today is complete, time to withdraw."

Task

The attendants listened in a daze. Wasn't their task to find out who had snuck into the emperor's sleeping quarters last night

And they didn't even manage to figure it out today.

Isn't that how you complete the task

Although he didn't understand, it was clear that Master Zhu wasn't going to explain as he walked forward. The attendants also knew better than to ask.

On the other side, An Xuetang had already returned to that cold palace. At this time, Shuangshuang, the child, had already made up her mind. She was willing to leave the palace with An Xuetang.

Although she had never considered leaving the palace all these years, now that her aunt's caretaker was gone, she faced a grim choice: leave or be discovered and either executed immediately or starve to death.

After much deliberation, she decided to leave with An Xuetang.

When An Xuetang returned to the courtyard, she knelt down with a thud. "Your Highness, please take Shuangshuang out of the palace."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you sure about this"

"Well, I've thought it over."

An Xuetang walked over and helped her up, "Well, what do you need to take with you Take everything. My husband will find a way to get us out in a while."

Shuangshuang nodded slightly. She still wanted to kneel and express her gratitude to An Xuetang, but An Xuetang stopped her. "This princess doesn't like people around me kneeling all the time. In the future, avoid kneeling whenever possible, understand"

An Xuetang patted her shoulder. "Alright, go get the things you need to bring. We can leave in a bit."

"Yes."

Shuangshuang turned around and walked to the hole again, slowly crawling inside.

"Ning'er now walked to An Xuetang's side, "Your Highness, are you truly going to take her back to the palace We haven't figured out her identity yet. Wouldn't this be inappropriate"

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "Precisely because I haven't figured out her identity, this concubine wants to take her back. Ning'er, Shuangshuang, did you notice anything unusual when they were speaking"

Being questioned by An Xue Tang, Ning'er paused for a moment, as if thinking about something. Her brow furrowed, "She always refers to herself as 'I'."

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "That's right. Think about it, was she brought up by a palace maid, or an old one If she were an ordinary person, wouldn't the words taught to her by an old palace maid be like this"

The old maidservant naturally understood the palace rules. When teaching this girl, she would definitely not make such mistakes, especially in a place where master and servant were clearly defined. If this child were an ordinary person, how could the old maidservant possibly not teach her some words that matched her speaking style

Especially, this child after knowing she was the Princess Consort of Beijiang, could still be so unfazed and speak without the demeanor one would expect from someone of a lower status. An Xuetang thought, this must be something ingrained in her very bones.

It must have been that old palace maid who taught her.

Looking at it from a different perspective, this girl is definitely not an ordinary servant or a palace maid. Instead, her identity should be noble and high-ranking.

But what kind of identity could such a girl possibly have One who commands the respect of elderly maids, yet ends up in this state.

This is also what An Xuetang wanted to figure out, which is why she thought of bringing her back to Beijang Wangfu.

Shuangshuang came up from the ground soon after, carrying a package that looked very heavy.

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "What are these"

Shuangshuang looked down at the package in her hands. "This is a set of clothes made for me by Aunt Dong, and some jewelry she left for me. Although...although they are a bit heavy, I...I still want to take them."

Seeing her so careful, An Xue Tang smiled, "If you want to take it, just take it, it doesn't matter. But you'll find it very heavy on your own. Would you trust this Ning'er sister to help you carry it"

Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment before slightly nodding her head.

Ning'er immediately went over to help her hold the package. At this time, An Xuetang heard the noise outside, the sound of a carriage, she smirked, "It must be my husband."

As she spoke, she went and opened the door. Shuai was a little scared and hid behind Ning'er.

Mo Yunjing's first glance under the ink cloud scenery was fixed on this girl.

At that moment, a strange sense of familiarity arose in his heart.spoke:The Empress is currently unavailable to see guests. Please wait here for a moment.An Xuetang narrowed her eyes. After the palace maid finished speaking, she slightly curled her lips and stared c...
