Xia Yan'er did not expect that Su Manhe would suddenly be angered, panicking as she pulled Ying'er behind her …

"Your Highness, please forgive us. In fact, Yan'er's maidservant has also seen Xu Bixuan offering sacrifices to the Cold Palace's Lin Yuan!" However, the rules of the palace forbade one from offering sacrifices in private! This is a capital offense, please investigate it clearly! "

"Ying'er, did you really see Xu Bixuan being sacrificed in the Cold Palace? "Who was the Sacrificer?" Su Manhe's eyes slightly narrowed as a trace of happiness flashed through them.

"In reply to the Empress, this servant did indeed see Xu Bixuan and a few palace maids from the Feather Pavilion offering sacrifices in the Cold Palace's forest garden. The one being offered was …" It seems like … This servant's eyes have been blurry for the past few days, but this servant has clearly seen that Xu Bixuan is offering sacrifices! " Just as Ying'er was about to say that it was Leng Xue Yuan, she suddenly felt Xia Yan'er, who was behind her, punch her.

"Forget it!" Just you wait! " If the always smart Suman Helian wasn't impatient to catch Xu Bixuan, he wouldn't have overlooked any suspicious points. It was just that there were times when people failed in their plan, horses lost their footing, and intelligent people like Su Manghan could even doze off!

Seeing Su Manhe's quick steps, Xia Yaner's face turned cold. It seemed like she already knew who the Sacrificial Master was! She did not want to go into the water. It was going to be difficult!

"Empress …" "Why …" Ying'er didn't understand why she couldn't say the words' Leng Xue Yuan 'as she looked at Xia Yan'er in confusion!

"Don't ask so much! If you were half as smart as Lian'er, we wouldn't have been so passive! " Xia Yaner turned around and looked at Lian'er, who was prostrating herself on the ground. Her eyes were filled with an abnormal hatred. The corner of her mouth pulled into a ruthless expression …

"Sure! Zhen Fei, I didn't expect you to play this game! I wanted to get rid of Xu Bixuan, and yet you call me the executioner! " Xia Yaner's face turned pale. She originally thought that there was someone in this harem that hated Xu Bixuan, but she never expected that they were all so secretive. Normally, she would not see Zhen Fei having such scheming in such a way!

"Lian'er, if you don't speak now and no one forces you to do so, then when the Emperor asks later on, I'll admire your loyalty!" If she had been any later, perhaps she would have been able to find no traces of her. When that time came, her situation would have been completely different from what it had been before; after all, she had fallen into Su Manhe's trap! Xia Yaner was unwilling to accept this, but there was nothing she could do!

Inside the Pavilion of Purple Lai, Xia Yaner paced back and forth, afraid that Leng Ao Tian would cover for Xu Bi Xuan, pretending to ignore her or even deliberately refuse. If that was really the case, then even if she did her best, it would be of no use! After all, the only person who could take Xu Bixuan's life was Leng Ao Tian!

"Manhe, do you have any proof?" Just as Xia Yaner was hesitating, Leng Ao Tian suddenly walked out, with a serious expression on his face. That's right, she had forgotten about Su Manhe. With her here, this show had just begun!

"Chenqie also heard about it from imperial concubines and some palace maids! "Chenqie originally did not want to disturb Your Majesty, but there are many people who know about this matter. If tomorrow's news were to spread, I'm afraid it would harm little sister Bi Xuan!" She had calculated that Leng Ao Tian would definitely cover up for Xu Bi Xuan, so she gave some thought to her choice of words. This made Leng Ao Tian feel that if this matter was not resolved tonight, then even if he wanted to protect her tomorrow, he might not be able to!

"Xia Yan'er!" You really saw Xu Bixuan offering sacrifices to Leng Xue Yuan! " Leng Ao Tian walked out of the room with quick steps. When he saw Xia Yan'er, his eyes turned cold.

"Reporting to the emperor, chenqie's maidservant Ying`er and Zhen Fei's maidservant Lian'er saw it all. They didn't mention who the culprit was. They only saw the culprit …" As his eyes moved, a sneer instantly appeared on his lips. Looks like Su Man He was really secretive!

"Isn't that Leng Xue Yuan?" Leng Ao Tian frowned, he turned to look at Su Man He!

"Ugh …" Chenqie … The maid, Little Peach Blossom, had also seen it. The sign did indeed have the three words' Cold Snow Yuan 'written on it! " A sliver of fear flashed across Su Manhe's eyes, but she had never expected that Xia Yan'er would have such an ability! Now, no one could escape responsibility for this!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this servant really saw that the name on the spirit tablet is Leng Xue Yuan!" When Little Tao Hong saw this, she quickly kneeled to the ground and reported everything to Leng AoTian!

"Forget it!" No one is allowed to spread this news! Otherwise, he would kill without mercy! "Follow me!" Leng Ao Tian's expression suddenly became serious. He walked out of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets with large strides. Su Man He turned around and slowly helped Little Peach Blossom up.

"Go inform all the imperial concubines that they're coming to the Cold Palace to watch a good show!" He turned around and walked to the side of Xia Yaner with a bright light flashing across his eyes …

The corner of Su Manhe's mouth lifted slightly as she opened her cherry lips …

"Big sister has such a heavy heart! What? You don't want to go to the theatre with me? " Her soft voice was filled with a chill that made people shudder. Xia Yan'er looked at Su Manhe with a puzzled expression.

"Yan'er really doesn't understand the meaning behind esteemed wangfei's words, but … Yan'er would like to see how much our emperor loves that empress! "Please!" Xia Yaner had already known that such an outcome would occur. She didn't smile and didn't show the slightest fear. The harem was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Whoever was ruthless was the main character here!

Seeing Su Manhe walk out of the Lai Zi pavilion, Xia Yaner also followed, and she ran into Zhen Fei!

"You came at just the right time! Bring your maidservant with you! Don't say that you don't know anything! " After saying a few words, Xia Yaner quickly disappeared into the night!

"Lian'er!" Are you okay? " Zhen Fei naturally knew this. After lifting Lian'er up, she too headed in the direction of the Cold Palace!

Cold Palace Deep Garden

"Empress Dowager, once the time is over, the sacrifice will be over. But you still haven't come?" Feng mama looked at Xu Bixuan with a puzzled expression. She didn't want anyone to help her up. The cold ground had already numbed her legs and made her completely unconscious. However, her pair of firm eyes constantly flashed.

"Someone will definitely come! And it's not only one of them, as long as you hear the sound of footsteps in a moment, including the emperor, the three of you don't have to kowtow, but instead desperately try to stop me! "Listen up!" Xu Bixuan did not believe that Su Manhe would give up such an excellent opportunity. Definitely not!

The crescent moon was like an eyebrow peeking into the world with its clear and cold moonlight. Deep within the cold palace, a cold wind was blowing. Xu Bixuan was kneeling in front of Shangguan Ying Rong's spirit tablet, her eyes filled with mist. Are you the one who blessed Leng Xiao Tian? Are you blaming me? Up until today, Bi Xuan would definitely not turn back! Even if she died, he would not have the face to regret facing her mother, Bi Xuan!

A rustling sound of footsteps came from afar and slowly approached the cold palace garden. Xu Bixuan's heart finally sank as she glanced at the trio and suddenly burst into tears!

"Queen Mother!" Bi Xuan misses you … Take Bi Xuan and leave! It was all Bi Xuan's fault for giving birth to an evil seed, causing his mother to die! "Now, Bi Xuan is willing to leave with mother. She only requests to serve the left and right, mother …" Seeing this, Senior Servant Feng, Little An, and Dong'er stepped forward and held onto Xu Bixuan, preventing her from rushing towards the spirit tablet!

The cold and gloomy cold palace suddenly burst into an uproar. When the cold and proud sky had arrived, Xu Bixuan had been lying prostrate on the ground, desperately trying to smash her body into the stone table where the spirit tablets were placed.

"What are you doing!?" Your majesty is here, why don't you kneel? " Su Manhe rushed to the front of Xu Bixuan and the others. When she saw the name on the spirit tablet in her peripheral vision, she was shocked. How could it be Shangguan Ying Rong?! It was obviously Leng Xue Yuan!? If it wasn't for the sparse night sky, anyone would be able to see the blood that suddenly disappeared from her face! It seemed like he had fallen into a trap!

"Empress, we can't let it go!" "Bi Xuan is courting death. She's going with Esteemed Empress Dowager!" Senior Servant Feng knitted her brows, the strength in her hands didn't lessen in the slightest, making Su Manhe seem as if she had a serious matter at hand!

"How dare you! The emperor came without a word! Xu... Little sister Bi Xuan, there must be a limit to your sadness. I didn't even see you this heartbroken at the sacrifice ceremony, so why are you dying now! Get up, the Emperor is watching! " Su Man He originally wanted to simply tear off her pride, but after thinking about it, she realized that she had already fallen for Xu Bi Xuan's words. She did not know how to explain it to Leng Ao Tian, but now that Xu Bi Xuan was in a disadvantaged position, it was time for her to lose all face!

"Muhou …" Bi Xuan was determined to court death. Please take me with you! In this world, Bi Xuan no longer held any lingering feelings for him! Only his mother's affection was something that Bi Xuan could not bear to part with … Xu Bixuan used all of her strength as tears flowed out of her eyes. As the cold wind blew, her exhausted body began to tremble. Even so, Xu Bixuan had never given up on crashing into the stone table!

"Sister! Get up! This let the emperor see, in his heart... It wasn't really the smell... "Sob, sob …" Su Man He slowly stood up, wetting the corners of her eyes against the handkerchief. However, her heart was overturned with hatred. She never thought that Xu Bi Xuan would actually be willing to part with her body! If it was her, she probably wouldn't be able to hold on either!

"All of you, step down!" Her cold voice exuded a chilling aura. Leng Ao Tian walked over to Xu Bi Xuan in an exceptionally heavy manner. He looked at Feng mama and the others, his black eyes narrowing as they shined with a cold light!

Xu Bixuan continued to do as she was told, but she secretly signaled for Feng mama, Little An, and Dong'er to let go. As Feng mama, Little An, and Dong'er let go, Xu Bixuan charged towards the stone table at lightning speed!
