Ninger continued pressing, "So your young mistress is ungrateful, collaborating with the Third Prince of Xuan Country to have you intentionally lead our princess here, intending for Zhao Li to attack her"

"No, no!"

Xiao Hong, afraid that Ning'er would completely misunderstand her, blurted out without thinking, "This was my doing, I did it! It has nothing to do with our young mistress!"

As expected, Xiao Hong has indeed teamed up with Zhao Lid.

At this moment, An Xuetang and Shou'er walked over as well. An Xuetang, using her 'skills', had already heard Zhao Li's voice and also heard everything Xiao Hong had said.

After walking over, she cast a disappointed glance at Xiaohong and then looked at Ning'er, "Are you hurt"

"Ning'er shook her head slightly, "Return to the princess, no."

"That's good."

An Xuetang then looked at Xiao Hong. Her icy expression was enough to make Xiao Hong's face pale and her tongue freeze, unable to utter a word.

After staring at Xiaohong for a moment, An Xuetang didn't say a word. She heard the sound of someone hurrying over and her icy eyes narrowed slightly.

"Take her with you."

Having said that, An Xuetang turned and walked away, Ning'er and Shou'er dragging Xiaohong after her.

Just shortly after they left, several gossipy maids appeared at the back of the mountain. They had obviously come because they'd heard something big had happened here, but after arriving, they saw nothing.

“Strange, there’s nothing here at all!”

"So, were we tricked"

"What a waste of our time and energy! I thought we might have made great achievements today and been rewarded by the generous benefactor."

Several palace maids returned defeated. As they left, their hearts filled with discontent, each of them muttered angrily under their breath, spewing insults and curses.

Just as those maids left, An Xuetang and the others who had been hiding nearby emerged from their hiding place.

Xiaohong's face was now even paler than white paper, and fear gradually consumed her heart like a monster.

An Xuetang had Ning'er remove Xiaohong's gag, then asked leisurely, "Why did you do this Did Huaduo tell you to"

"No! That's not how it goes... It's not like that!"a mix of awe and sympathy.What's the Northern Border Princess's confidence based onJust as the Emperor was about to erupt, An Xue Tang finally looked at him, "Father Emperor, did you summon your daugh...
