i Pang curiously glanced at it and saw a stranger getting off. He ran towards Fu Jiu Jiu and burrowed into her arms, his big eyes curiously sizing up the man."Little girl, is this the Fu family's plac..."Dad!"

Tang Xian wiped his face, glared at his father with resentment, the anger he had been suppressing was about to erupt. However, when he met his father's cold eyes, it vanished instantly.

"Do not lose the big picture over small matters. Since I gave Ning Frost her life, it's only right that she gives it back to me for my sake." Tang Chen Ce said.

Tang Xian looked at his father, he was too lazy to say some pompous excuses, even if deceiving himself.

He wryly smiled, "Father, what is big and what is small Is it not the case that even I am small and can be sacrificed at a necessary moment"

"Damn it, who the hell gave you the guts to say these things to me" Tang Chence questioned angrily.

Tang Xian sighed, "You raised her for so many years, even if she wasn't your biological daughter, she called you 'father' for so many years. Are you really that cruel"

"Great men don't get bogged down by trivial matters. Could I possibly change my plans, even risk losing everything, just because of her " Tang Chen looked at his son, also filled with disappointment. "How come you don't follow me at all"

"Father, great men do not dwell on trifles. But they still have feelings. As far as I know, even the Emperor was once moved by familial love and spared you. Tang Xian and Fu Jiujiu also risked their lives because of their subordinates..."

"Shut up!" Tang Chen Ce roared, "Are you accusing me now What do you want to do"

Tang Xian shook his head. "I don't want to do anything, Father. I just feel that if in the end only one person can stand at the peak, but no one cheers for you, and all your close friends are lost, then what's the point of such a peak"

"Do you know what you're saying"

"I know, Father. I've never been the son you wanted me to be. Maybe I am truly foolish."

Tang Xian sighed, "You rest for a while, I'm a bit tired."

"Hold it right there."

Tang Xian smiled wryly and did not turn his head to look at his elderly father, "What is your order"

"Aren't you going to see Tang Xian and Fu Jiu Jiu Those two are very cunning, don't fall for their schemes!" Tang Chen Ce warned coldly.

Tang Xian smiled, "Father, but how can I save Ningxiang"

"You... are clueless!" Tang Chen Ce inwardly cried out, "It must be those two luring my foolish son with the life of Miss Tang."

If you want this son to still listen to you and not be misled, then there's only one way...to kill Tang Ning霜.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Father, your goal is that dragon throne, but for me, if Frost isn't here, our family can't be together. A cold, lonely chair without her warmth holds no meaning to me. Besides, looking at things now, it's not even certain we can obtain it."

Having said that, he didn't want to pay any attention to his father who was going crazy, so he left in big strides.

Perhaps he should consider Tang Xian's advice.

After all, he can protect his little sister well.

……

At night, Tang Ning霜 was bound and uncomfortable, but these days she had gotten used to it. She only prayed in her heart that her older brother wouldn't do anything foolish for her.

Otherwise, Tang Chen will not let him off the hook.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and a cold, gleaming dagger appeared before her.

Her hands were bound, powerless to fight back, yet she closed her eyes with resignation.

Yes, she's dead, and it's all over. At least Big Brother won't be so restrained, he won't turn against Father.

But the expected dagger didn't pierce his chest, and the chilling sensation of a blade across his throat didn't come. When he opened his eyes again, the woman was already unconscious. Tang Xian and Fu Jiujiao looked at the newcomer with solemn expressions.

"She... is Lu Ziqing" Tang Ningfrost asked, "She's truly a beauty. Fu Jiujiu, you have competition now."

She fearlessly quipped.

Fu Jiujiu and Tang Xian glanced at her, only telling the guards to watch her more closely. They would settle accounts later.

Behind her, Tang Ning's laughter sounded frantic, but as she laughed, she burst into tears.

Tang Chen Ce didn't even save himself, and now he's making others come to kill him.

...Could it be that he sensed his brother's desire to save her

This is the father she has always admired and respected since she was little!

Tang Xian placed Lu Ziqing on the bed, glanced at the tightly closed window, and then at the dark guards who had just woken up after taking the antidote. Dan Yue walked in with her people.

"What's going on"

The dark guard shook his head, knowing things were not simple, "Please punish your subordinate, it was my negligence."

"Punishment will be discussed later. How did you faint" Fu Chi-Chi said in a deep voice.

"It's just... My wife gave me a cup of tea, saying I was working too hard..."

Dàn Yuè had already brought the tea over. Fǔ Jiūjiū smelled it, then looked at Táng Xiàn and nodded slightly, "The tea is poisoned. Fortunately, he drank little, he's only fainted."

"Strange, where did the poison come from She's always surrounded by people, and besides, she wouldn't use poison anyway."

Fu Chi-chiu was also puzzled, but the guards never lied, and the poisoned tea was still there.

She pondered intently until she saw a tiny pinprick on Lu Zi-ning's fingertip. If it weren't for the dried blood, she wouldn't have noticed it.

Fu Jiujiu hurriedly grabbed her hand and showed it to Tang Xian.

Tang Xi also understood what she meant, “This is impossible”

> "It's possible, it's not. Just try it and see."

Fu Jiu Jiu pinched her fingertips, took out her silver needles, and pierced through them. Sure enough, the silver needle changed color, and the blood that flowed out was poisonous.

Seeing this, Fu Jiujiu not only felt afraid. If she had poisoned her father emperor, but then she thought about it, she was still there, and most of the time nothing happened.

Tang Chen Ce is truly desperate, he exposed himself even before the crucial moment arrived.

It seems my ploy has worked. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so anxious to kill Tang Ningfrost.

Fu Jiu Jiu glanced at Dan Yue, then took out a few pills. These were for the people guarding Tang Ning Frost.

To prevent Lu Ziqing from feeling guilty when she wakes up, Fu Jiujiu and Tang Xian decided to keep this matter a secret. However, everyone around her would have to be extra careful from now on.

"Master, let me handle this." Yan Yu also came out after hearing the commotion.

Tang Xian glanced at Yanyu, "It's alright, this time it was an accident."

Smoke and rain has been with them for a long time, so there are some things she dares to say, "Master, please don't underestimate the carefulness of us maidservants. I can definitely take good care of the mistress. These young girls sometimes don't react in time."

But what about the child

"Isn't there still a father" Yanyu said, "Your Highness, I can't help with anything else, but taking care of the elderly madam, I'm sure I can do it. I can take care of children well, and this is no different."

Smoke and rain is indeed more vigilant and careful than the average dark guards, and having followed Fu Jiu for so long, they've learned a thing or two. Naturally, Dianyue can't compare.

It's a shame that Niangxia isn't here, otherwise she could team up with Yanyu and take turns coming.

"Don't worry, my lords. I see that the mistress likes children. During the day, I will take care of the child while also keeping her company. Who knows, maybe when she is happy, her condition will improve a little"

Yanyu looked at Fu Jiujiu, knowing she had nodded. However, Fu Jiujiu still had something to say, "Yanyu, I trust you to handle things well, but please be careful!"
