The bright sunshine shone on Xie Yao, making her peony-colored dress sparkle.

Concubine Shu watched intently, with a hint of envy in her eyes...

At this moment, Xie Yao suddenly turned around and gave Concubine Shu a bright smile.

Concubine Shu was startled for a moment, then her expression slowly cleared up.

The news that Xie Yao entered the palace to have a secret conversation with Concubine Shu naturally could not be hidden from Concubine Li. Concubine Li had already placed people in the Yanx Palace, but she still found out nothing today.

boom!

"A bunch of trash!"

Concubine Li angrily smashed things all over the floor, her eyes sinister and fierce, "Those two bitches have been against me before, and today they must be discussing how to deal with me!"

"Go, tell Xiao Ning that I want to see her!"

As soon as Princess Li finished speaking, someone naturally went to pass on the message.

Although Xiao Ning is still under house arrest, she has her own way of appearing in Weiyang Palace without anyone noticing.

When Xiao Ning entered the room, the hall was still full of utensils that Concubine Li had smashed in anger, but the quality of them was no longer as good as before.

Xiao Ning only took one look, and her brows turned cold. "What are you doing, mother?"

At just one glance, Concubine Li's expression froze. She said uncomfortably, "That bitch Concubine Shu let Xie Yao into the palace today, and they chatted for a long time. Could it be because of that bitch Sangsang..."

Almost all the people who had served her twenty years ago had been cleared out, but unexpectedly there were still some who had slipped through the net.

And the fish that slipped through the net was caught by someone...

"Mother." Xiao Ning interrupted Concubine Li impatiently, a look of annoyance between her brows. "She's already dead."

"Even if she really knows something, she won't have the chance to speak out. What is Mother still worried about?"

Xiao Ning looked at Concubine Shu with a scrutinizing look in her eyes. "Or is there something else that Mother is hiding from me?"

Concubine Shu: "..."

Her eyes flickered, and her voice was clearly a little weak. "How is that possible? How could Mother hide anything from you? Ning'er, Mother has entrusted all the manpower to you. Mother will still rely on you in the future."

Concubine Li suppressed her original anger, walked a few steps forward to Xiao Ning, took her hand, and explained in a rambling manner.

Concubine Li's attitude changed so quickly that she didn't notice the look in Xiao Ning's eyes.

Indifferent, cold, and seeing through everything.

Xiao Ning lowered her eyes slightly to hide her thoughts. Her mother might not know that when she got nervous, she would chatter non-stop like this.

Concubine Li's hands were soft and delicate. She had changed her topic while nagging, "Ning'er, His Majesty has recently taken a fancy to Xiao An's servant-born son. You can't lose to him."

"If Hong'er were still fine...why would that maid's son have the chance to steal the show? Back then, your father valued your brother the most."

When Concubine Li said this, she noticed that Xiao Ning's eyebrows and eyes were getting colder, so she quickly changed her tone and said, "Ning'er, it's not that I don't trust you. I just don't want you to work too hard."

"You are a precious princess, you should be admired by everyone, marry a man of your dreams and be pampered and spoiled..."

"Mother." Xiao Ning pulled her hand away from Concubine Li's. "I never feel hardship. That's not what I want."

"Don't worry, even if Xiao An is glorious for a while, he won't be glorious forever. The one who laughs last is the real winner."

After Xiao Ning finished speaking, she glanced at Concubine Li with disdain in her eyes.

After all, she is a woman with long hair and little knowledge, and her ideals and ambitions are simply incomprehensible!

Concubine Li quickly smiled and patted Xiao Ning's hand, saying, "Okay, okay, Mother believes in you."

Xiao Ning added, "Shufei's fifth prince is only four years old. It's uncertain whether he will grow up. As for Xie Yao... they'll only have a little more time to shine. They're like grasshoppers after autumn, so there's really no need for mother to keep focusing on them."

Princess Li wanted to say that her intuition was not so.

She had a hunch that the two men were not that simple, but when she met Xiao Ning's cold eyes, she swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"Okay." Concubine Li smiled, "I'll listen to Ning'er."

Xiao Ning spoke a few more words to Concubine Li before leaving Weiyang Palace. She left the main hall and looked at the head aunt of Weiyang Palace who was standing by the door.

Being looked at by her, the aunt in charge bowed her head respectfully.

Xiao Ning paused slightly and said meaningfully, "Auntie entered the palace with Mother and has been following Mother, right?"

"Yes, Your Highness, it is my honor to be in your care." The aunt in charge answered humbly and respectfully.

Xiao Ning smiled and said, "Please see me off."

Xiao Ning was in a good mood when she returned to the princess's mansion. Although Concubine Li said many unpleasant things, she didn't take a single word to heart and naturally didn't feel sad about it.

But as soon as she entered the mansion, the fox masked man immediately came forward and said, "Princess, something happened..."

Xiao Ning paused, her brow furrowed in impatience, "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"

The fox man lowered his head. "You ordered your subordinates to retreat southward... but before they could leave, they were discovered."

"It seems... they are the Third Prince's men."

"Impossible!" Xiao Ning immediately retorted, a look of disbelief on his face, and said firmly: "Xiao An doesn't have such ability!"

If Xiao An really had such ability, he would not have pretended to be a pig and eaten the tiger for many years, waiting for Xiao Hong to fall before daring to come forward.

Xiao Ning said confidently, "It must be Xiao Ji. He was the one who revealed this matter to Xiao An."

The fox man was slightly puzzled. "But... why would His Royal Highness do this? Isn't this simply handing the credit to the Third Prince?"

"Could it be...he chose Xiao An?" Xiao Ning said with a look of resignation. "Is he crazy? Where is his former determination? Could it be that he has changed just because of my father's attitude?"

In her eyes, Xiao An is a real idiot. He takes Master Xuan's words as his guiding principles and has the support of the emperor... Besides that, what else does he have?

The two ounces of meat between your legs?

But unfortunately, both her father and Xiao Ji chose Xiao An instead of her. Xiao Ning had never felt like this before.

I'm disgusted and jealous of that thing between men's legs!

in case……

Xiao An no longer has that thing...
