Xiao Rou was a little flustered by her gaze. She began to sweat profusely as she said in a trembling voice, "Esteemed … "Go ahead."

Finally, Xuanfei lowered her eyes, lifted her lips, and slowly recited, "Liquorice, ephedra, asarum, aconite …"

When Xiao Rou heard the names of the herbs, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Her legs went soft as she clenched her fists and said, "Empress … What do you mean, how am I... "Why don't you understand?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, let the emperor personally interrogate you. Miss Xiao naturally knows everything. Today, that horse nearly injured all of your highness' injuries and even alarmed the emperor and empress." Xuan Fei's cherry lips lightly blew on her slender fingers as she lazily asked.

Did Xuan Fei know that she and big brother had done it?

Xiao Rou was so frightened that her knees bent and she knelt on the ground before urgently speaking, "Esteemed wangfei, have mercy! Esteemed wangfei, have mercy! I know my wrongs! I really know my wrongs! I was just … I was just messing around, but I didn't think that …"

"Do you want to kill Lian Ru Yue?" Suddenly, Consort Xuan interrupted her soft begging voice.

Xiao Rou stared blankly for a moment. She could only feel the blade scraping against her heart. He stopped begging for mercy and slowly raised his head. He looked at Consort Xuan in surprise as his heartbeat quickened. "Empress, you mean …"

"If you want, I'll give you a hand. If you don't, then pretend I never came. So, now you just have to tell me if you want to or not. " Xuan Fei said.

Xiao Rou's eyes were fixed on Consort Xuan's face. Her expression was cold and heartless as she suddenly understood and asked, "The Empress wants to kill her too? But why? "

As far as she could remember, there didn't seem to be any enmity between Consort Xuan and Lian Ruyue.

"Because... She deserves to die. " A cold light burst out of Consort Xuan's usually gentle eyes — —

She had fallen in love with the emperor every day for him. She had fought among the women in the harem for him. She had fallen, bled, plotted, and suffered pain. She had experienced it all once!

She was patient, she was waiting, waiting for him to ascend to the throne so that she could be with him in broad daylight. She believed that he would eventually be hers.

She also knew that he had other women with him, but that was just for him to vent his desires. But today, she discovered that he treated Lian Ru Yue differently. The possessiveness in his eyes had never been seen before, and he said that he would spend his entire life to obtain Lian Ru Yue. These words nearly destroyed all of her will!

She, You Xuan, would never allow such a person to exist! No one would be allowed to disrupt her path to his reunion.

Xiao Rou only felt a bright light flash before her eyes and she was suddenly enlightened.

She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "The esteemed Empress is right, she deserves to die!" Even if he were to die a thousand or ten thousand times, it wouldn't be enough! However, her life seems to be especially tough, as if I can't kill her no matter what! "

Consort Xuan snorted coldly and said, "There is no one in this world who can't die, let alone a mere person who's as weak as a crescent moon."

"Then what method does the Empress have?" Suddenly, such a powerful alliance appeared. Xiao Rou didn't think too much about it. Her depressed heart was once again filled with fighting spirit!

"Of course there are. It just depends on whether you are fit to cooperate or not." Xuan Fei looked at Xiao Rou in front of her and pretended to be deep in thought.

Of course I'm willing. As long as you can keep Moon alive, no, even if you don't die, for example, if you lose an arm or a leg, a hole in your face, anything is fine. If you can do that, I'll do it a hundred times, a thousand times!" Indeed, it was easier to control the minds of young and angry people. Seeing that Xiao Rou had already taken the bait, a trace of coldness flashed through Xuanfei's long and narrow eyes as she softly said:

"You'll get what you want."

After exiting Xiao Rou's tent, Xuan Fei put her hand in her mouth and blew lightly. The pigeon fell into her hands and she tied a small bamboo bucket inside the wings of the pigeon.

"Empress …" Seeing this, Xu mama said, "Then if Lian Ruyue knocks against the Empress, just find someone to teach her a lesson in secret. If she kills her old servant, it'll probably cause a big incident. She's no other than the Prime Minister's daughter."

Feng Qianyue had said this because only the two of them knew of this plan. In any situation, the two of them wouldn't have any interactions, otherwise, they would be in danger of being exposed.

That was why Xu mama didn't understand that Concubine Xuan insisted on dealing with Lian Xiyue.

"Senior …" "Don't worry, I won't really kill her. I'm just giving her a small lesson like you said, just so that no one will suspect me and use that foolish girl of the Xiao family to do it."

Lian Ruyue was someone that Feng Qianyue wanted, of course she couldn't let him know of her plans!

When Xu mama heard this, she finally relaxed. "Empress Dowager needs to be even more careful, especially when it comes to pampering."

"Yes, Mammy is right." However, the coldness in her eyes was like the edge of a blade. Her hand loosened, and the carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew away, disappearing into the night. There were many birds flying around the hunting grounds, but no one noticed anything different about it.

When Princess Eleven saw that Lian Meng had finally remembered something, she got up and left the banquet. She was overjoyed and quickly got up. She didn't care about the court ladies and mama following her and went back to her house as fast as she could.

She stood in the doorway, tiptoeing, her eyes focused on the road that led to her side.

After a long while, the palace maid came forward and said gently, "Princess, you've been standing here for almost an hour. You didn't eat anything at the banquet earlier, so the rattan cake Senior Servant Su prepared for you is almost cold. Why don't you sit down and eat while waiting?"

"Is the cake cold? "Then tell them to heat it up. No, they can't heat it up. The vine pancakes won't taste good if they heat it up. Sit down again, sit down again." When Princess Eleven heard this, she did not leave the door.

Master Li helplessly shook his head, indicating to the others that they should take the cake and start over.

Time slowly passed. She waited at the door for nearly an hour, and made another two more cakes before she finally became discouraged. She sat down in a huff, picked up the wisteria cake, and suddenly took a big bite, saying, "Lian Xiyue actually dares to lie to me. If I die of anger, I won't forgive her!" Tomorrow during the hunt, I will shoot her to death with my bow and arrow! "

"Princess Eleven …" She was stuffing her mouth with cakes, chewing and cursing when she heard a voice behind her.

Ah …

She was shocked and turned her head to look at the youth in an icy blue robe. He was looking down at her from above.

Lian Fu looked at the cake in front of him with his mouth full of crumbs. This kind of appearance did not have the dignified appearance of a princess. Moreover, it was completely different from the domineering and violent princess from yesterday.
