"What are you still doing here, go down." Tung looked at Redsnow, who was still standing behind him.

Redsnow stood on the spot and looked at Tung's tall and straight back. She would not leave. She would absolutely not leave …

She ran up and hugged him tightly from behind, pressing her cheek against his back and said emotionally, "Cool, don't chase Redsnow away. Redsnow won't leave …"

Tung hated this type of woman the most. He casually threw away the bowl in his hand, pushed away Hong Xue'er who was hugging him from behind, and yelled, "Do you know that you are becoming more and more annoying?!"

"I, Khan, Redsnow is your woman. She should stay by your side to take care of you …" Hong Xue gave Tung a slightly angry look and pretended to look delicate as she complained.

Tung looked at her. This incident, a hairpin on her head attracted his attention. It was an exquisite butterfly hairpin with two rubies embedded in the corner of the butterfly's eye. It seemed like … It belonged to Cen Xue. He seemed to remember seeing it on her bun. How did it end up in this woman's hands?

When Redsnow saw him staring at her, she thought that he had discovered the matter of her aphrodisiac, but to her surprise, he seemed to be staring at the top of her head all along?

Tengg pulled Redsnow closer to his face, took the butterfly ruby hairpin from her head, squinted his black eyes and asked doubtfully, "Speak, this belongs to Cen Xue, why is it here with you?"

Redsnow touched the hairpin on her bun and was already holding it in his hand. He swallowed his saliva and anxiously replied, "This is a gift from Miss Lin to me. Not only me, but the several maids that served her all have a piece of jewelry."

Tung was clearly dissatisfied with her answer. They were really tired of living for daring to take Cen Xue's things!

"This belongs to Cen Xue. It's only fit to be worn on her bun. You, aren't fit to wear this hairpin at all, get the hell out of here …" The more Tung looked at her, the more bored he became. How could he have taken a fancy to such a woman?

Redsnow stared at him in a daze. The jealousy in her heart was incomparable. Why was that woman able to obtain Khan's heart? Why was she not even worthy of a hairpin of hers?

"Khans, I'm your woman. Redsnow has been by your side for two years now, so why are you treating an outsider ten times better than her? What did she do badly? How did she make you hate her?" It was unknown where Redsnow had obtained the courage to do so. As she rushed in front of him, she hysterically cried out.

His eyes turned red as he stared at her, warning her, "Who do you think you are? In my eyes, you are nothing more than a warm bed, don't think that you're amazing. If it wasn't for the fact that you could take care of the things in the backyard while Ben Khan was gone, do you think you'd still be able to stay here today?"

With her neck tightly gripped by him, Redsnow was in so much pain that she couldn't even breathe. Her cheeks were becoming redder and redder. If she continued like this, she wouldn't be able to last much longer.

Her eyes widened as she looked at the man before her. She didn't expect that after following him for such a long time, she would end up like this!

"But …" "Sweat …" Redsnow struggled to utter out these two words. She wanted to beg for mercy, but she couldn't.

Tengger looked at her and thought that it was about time. He had never thought of taking her life. Killing her here would only dirty his hands. However, today's suffering meant that he had to teach her a lesson.

She slowly let go of her palm, allowing her to breathe the fresh air. Once Redsnow was free, she immediately took deep breaths and her ashen face immediately started to regain her colour bit by bit …

"The khan, the khan, Redsnow knows that she was wrong. From now on, there will no longer be any comparison between Redsnow and Miss Lin …" After slightly adjusting her posture, Hong Xue kneeled down on the ground and hugged Tengger's leg. She then started to sob.

Tung looked down at the woman beneath him condescendingly. Earlier, she had boldly placed something into the ginger tea before loudly rebutting in front of him. What was going on now? She was kneeling at his feet like a dog …

"Don't think that Ben Khan doesn't know what you've done. Go down and clean up your things and then get out of the tower!" Tung was not looking at her because he really hated the face.

Redsnow trembled. What had the khan just said? You want her to pack up and roll out of the tower?

"No …" "Khan, I beg of you, please don't chase Redsnow away. There's nowhere else for Redsnow to go. Please don't drive her away …" She hugged his arms even more tightly, afraid that if she were to relax even a little, she would lose the protection of this tree.

Tung no longer had the patience to continue wasting time with her. He wanted to shake her off, but this woman was tightly holding onto his leg. Damn it!

No matter how much Tung wanted to get rid of her, she refused to let go...

"Bastard …" Someone, beat this woman out of Ben Khan's shack! " Tung had lost all patience because of her. He would never kill a woman, so he had no choice but to make an exception today.

As soon as his voice fell, two guards walked in from outside. Looking at the situation inside, they didn't know how to make a move.

"What are you still standing there for, pull that woman out of the way and hit her!" Tung's words were almost a shout.

The two of them heard what the khan said once again, and without any hesitation, they walked forward and pulled at Redsnow. Seeing that they had come forward, Redsnow's eyes turned red from crying as she looked up at him, and finally begged him bitterly, "The khan, don't drive Redsnow away, Redsnow truly loves you, khan …"

"Scram …"

Tung had given her a cold, emotionless word.

"Khan, there's nowhere else for Redsnow to go. Please, don't chase her away. I'm begging you …" Redsnow was pummeled from the front and back by the two guards. One was responsible for pulling her away, and the other was responsible for prying her hand away from Khan's arm.

Tung's forehead was getting tighter and tighter. Facing the disgusted wailing in his ears, suddenly … He pulled out the guard's saber from his waist and stabbed at Redsnow's chest with unerring speed!

"Ah …" "Khan …" Redsnow wailed in pain, his eyes wide open as he stared at Tengg who was stabbing at him. He didn't think that Tengg would treat him like this.

After kicking her away, Redsnow fell to the ground. He looked at her in pain as blood flowed out from the blade of the saber, staining a large patch of the floor red.

Tung turned and left, not wanting to look at her again, leaving the mess to the two guards behind him.

Her left hand was still holding Cen Xue's butterfly hairpin. Because she was too close to Hong Xue just now, when her sword stabbed down, her fresh blood dyed Tengger's clothes red. She carefully put Cen Xue's hairpin back into her shirt and went back to her room to change out of her blood-stained clothes as if nothing had happened.

The story of Redsnow quickly spread throughout the tower. Everyone knew that she had been stabbed to death by the Khan for offending her. Normally, her domineering attitude made many people dissatisfied with her. Even now, no one felt pity for her.

On the other hand, Cen Xue did not have much food for the winter. Because of her, Lou Lan had given them 10,000 taels of grain for free, allowing them to eat plain rice all year round. Everyone was extremely impressed with her.

But Tung's heart ached when he heard her name, wondering when he would see her again.

Outside the eastern gate of Lou Lan's capital, Dan Yu Wu was holding onto the elderly man, as well as Xiao Boyi, Yuwen Tai, and a group of ministers who were painstakingly guarding the city. The scouts had already reported that the fifty thousand strong army led by the king was about to return to the capital.

For the next half month, the important affairs of the city were taken care of by Dan Xiong. With the help of Xiao Boyi, he was given a chance to gain experience. When next spring's warmth blossomed, he was ready to resign as prime minister and return to his family for the rest of his life.

"Grandfather, can you still hold on?" The weather was cold outside, and she was afraid that if he stayed outside for too long, he wouldn't be able to hold on.

"It's alright, don't make such a fuss. Grandpa's body is still very strong and healthy." He was now the head of a hundred officials, and the King of Lou Lan had handed the entire country over to him. Even if it was cold, he had to persevere and wait.

Dan Yu Wu looked worriedly at her grandfather. She turned around and called for someone to bring a warm handbag over, insisting that he keep his hands warm.

"Grandpa …"

Dan Xiong pushed away the warm handbag. One-Pun Wu didn't seem to be too happy as she stared back at him.

Yuwen Tai, who was standing at the side, saw the two grandsons rejecting each other, he walked over to Dan Xiong's side and advised, "Old man Dan, you should keep warm. You're so old, and it's already hard for you to wait outside the city gates on such a cold day. Just listen to Yu Wu, the king won't blame you."

"Grandpa …" Seeing that General Yuwen wanted to help her, Dancing Single Feather took her grandfather's hand and put it into her handbag to warm it up.

He had no choice but to rely on his precious granddaughter.

Two hours later, they could vaguely see the slowly moving carriages and horses in the distance. Everyone had to bitterly wait through the harsh winter for the entire morning. Finally, the king was able to return.

Helian Lie embraced Cen Xue in the carriage. It was too cold outside and Helian Shan didn't even let her leave, Cen Xue was happy and at ease, and they wandered back to the capital in the carriage. Looking at the scenery on the way back, she thought back to her mood when she left, as if she was dreaming.

"What are you thinking? Was he thinking about how to leave Gu Shenwei's side? If that's really the case, then I'll tell you alone, stop dreaming! " Helian Shan tyrannically pulled her into his embrace and tightly embraced her, not wanting to let go even for a moment.

The corners of Cen Xue's lips curled up slightly. How could there be such a tyrannical man …

"Dang, you know I couldn't bear to leave, but in that situation, I was forced to. Don't be angry at me, okay?" Cen Xue buried her face into his chest, listening to his heartbeat, feeling his breath, his warmth.

This little fool, he had never been angry with her before. Even when he had seen her in the study room with Jue that day, he had not done so.

He was angry at himself for not possessing her heart completely. He was angry at his own uselessness …
