to use them to store all sorts of messy "powders" now.Ninger looked thoughtfully at Fengming, "Master Valley Lord, if you're going to look, just look. Please don't try to touch anything, and please do...An Xuetang was taken aback. It was rare for Huāduǒ to speak so seriously, so she frowned and asked, "What's the matter"

"I remember A Tang saying that your mother, in the palace, became the emperor's woman."

Mentioning Liu... An Xuetang pursed her lips, "Yes, what happened to her"

"Two days ago, the emperor just bestowed upon a woman named Liu Lan the title of Noble Consort Liu."

>

"At the time of her conferral, the emperor specially used orchids to metaphorize this Consort Liu. He said that she was just like an orchid, elegant, noble, and unwavering in her loyalty."

"!""

Noble

Unwavering

This emperor is really good at spinning a yarn!

Before entering the palace, Liu had already been a wife and a mother. The emperor talks about chastity and steadfastness, yet he doesn't even fear biting his own tongue!

An Xuetang fell silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold snort. “The emperor is truly skilled at twisting words. He's quite the character, bestowing titles of noble consort upon two women in such a short span of time. No wonder he wouldn't give the empress her rightful power. This way, within this palace, he can do whatever he pleases without needing to consult the empress at all.”

"As for Lady Liu Gui, I've never met her. Would you describe her to me, A Tang If I have the chance, I'll go see her myself and find out if she is truly your mother."

"Duo'er, remember, my mother is gone. The current Liu Gui Fei is named Liu Lan, and she has nothing to do with me. Her current status seems to be fabricated by the emperor for her. However, this also indirectly shows that the emperor values her very much, otherwise he wouldn't have enfeoffed her as Gui Fei."

Liu was a woman who had been married and had children, but the emperor still bestowed upon her the title of Noble Consort. One couldn't help but admit that Liu truly had her ways. She had never seemed like this capable before!

Hua Duo'er knew what An Xue Tang meant, she nodded slightly and hummed, "A Tang, if I can, I will help you watch over her and try my best to keep her from getting into trouble."

An Xuetang shook her head. "No, you take care of yourself. She can get the emperor to bestow upon her the title of Noble Consort, her methods are probably beyond yours. She doesn't know about our relationship."

"And I won't let her know about our relationship. She might betray you for her own sake if she knew, so I won't tell her who you are. Don't reveal yourself to her either. Just pretend you don't know her and don't try to do anything for her."

It's not that An Xuetang isn't worried about Liu Shi now, but she deeply suspects that everything she knew about Liu Shi before was a facade. The current Liu Shi is full of schemes, and she doesn't know if she has changed or if the environment has awakened her inherent potential.

She was incredibly surprised that the emperor would bestow upon her the title of imperial concubine.

Previously, she had always thought that Liu relied on her beauty to captivate the emperor for a while, but she did not expect that she would actually fight for an identity for herself, and it was even the position of a noble concubine.

As for the current Liu Shi, An Xue Tang doesn't know her well enough, nor does she understand what she truly thinks. Therefore, she can't easily reveal Hua Diaoer. What if one day Liu Shi gets desperate and chooses to harm Hua Diaoer in order to please the Emperor That's the last thing An Xue Tang wants to see happen.

Huāduǒ has not met Liǔ Shì so far, but her prior understanding of Liǔ Shì was only from discussions with An Xuě Táng and others. She thought that Liǔ Shì was just a vase with beauty but no substance.

Thus, she thought that she might as well take care of An Xue Tang's mother more in the palace from now on. However, seeing how resolute An Xue Tang was, she nodded slightly, "Alright, I understand."

"The two continued walking for a while. "Duo'er, was last night's incident with the emperor related to you"

"No, but I suspect last night's events were the work of someone close to him. That person seems to have been lurking around him for quite some time."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly, "Do you have someone in mind"

"The Commander of the Imperial Forest Guard."

“...”

An Xuetang was taken aback, clearly not expecting it to be this person. If it really was this person, then this person had been lurking in the emperor's side for a very long time, and was able to gain the emperor's trust. It seemed that their methods were also highly skilled.

"A little further on is a fork in the road. Huāduǒ slowed down her pace, “Of course, this is just my guess. I'll pay close attention to him whenever I have the chance during this time.”

"Then take care of yourself, we'll look into him here too. Just protect yourself and don't do anything too rash."

"Hmm."

Huāduòr's expression was clearly hesitant, she thought for a moment before asking, "táng, is he... alright"

An Xuetang knew she couldn't help but ask, and sighed softly at this moment, "Fine, he's doing well!"

Hearing An Xuetang's petulance, Huāduǒ blinked. "But what happened"

"Mo Yunchen, that heartless man! I've only just helped him fix his arm, and now he betrays me He wants my Jing'er to abandon me Does this man have no conscience at all"

"Huo Duo'er's face changed, "This... A Tang, is there some misunderstanding between you"

"There is no misunderstanding. In his eyes, he simply looks down on me, thinking I'm just a country girl and unworthy of the position of Northern Frontier Princess."

"No...impossible, Atang. The Crown Prince isn't that kind of person."

"Duo'er," An Xue Tang said helplessly, "People change. You haven't seen him in a long time. He's gone through a lot these past years. A person's heart…it changes. So don't think you still understand him."

"Of course, you shouldn't think that I'm speaking ill of him. What you choose to do for him is entirely up to you."

But as a friend, I have to remind you, Mo Yunchen is completely different from the one you first met. You can do things for him, but... you must consider yourself first.

There were some things An Xue Tang didn't want to say so plainly, and she wasn't going to continue the topic. She just said:

He is gone. He was sent to Beijang by Ajing's people today to meet Zi Ling. He will arrive at Bei Jiang in a few days. His hand has recovered well, so you needn't worry about him. Your situation is more dangerous than his now, so focus your energy on protecting yourself.

Hāoduò ér received the news and was still happy for Mò yún chén for a moment. She pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, " táng, thank you for telling me these things."

As long as Mo Yunchen was safe, the worry in her heart could be slightly eased.

An Xuetang knew she still liked Mo Yunchen, and at this moment, she didn't want to say anything more. After all, people have different tastes, and she couldn't interfere with that.

As they reached the end, An Xuetang turned back, "Take care. If you need anything, find a way to let me know. And when you're ready to leave this place, be sure to tell me. I will definitely get you out."

The little flower felt deeply moved. Tears welled up in her eyes, "A-Tang, thank you."

An Xuetang smirked, who made her her friend

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, An Xuetang's face darkened, "Someone's coming. You better get back quickly."

The little flower nodded slightly, "Good. Be careful yourself too."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly left with Xiao Hong. An Xuetang and Ning'er Shour went in the other direction. They had only taken a few steps when two people suddenly rushed out. at onceLooking at Feng Ming's calm demeanor, it seems he has a good grasp of the situation.An Xuetang's face was expressionless. She was completely focused on taking his pulse at the moment, but the...
