The past grudges flashed by like a movie. She didn't look at the man again and turned to walk out of the secret passage.

They were replaced by the guards from the Prince's Palace.

The sound of metal piercing flesh could be heard in the secret passage, and the smell of blood became increasingly stronger in the air.

Jiang Xue knew in her heart that Jun Li, the man who had been entangled with her for two lifetimes, had received the punishment he deserved.

After the guards from the Crown Prince's Mansion returned with Jun Li's head, the Fourth Prince's Mansion was immediately searched, and even the secret passage hidden in the mansion was completely destroyed.

The bodies of Jun Li and the enemy envoy were sent to the border of Beixi overnight. The whole process was clean and efficient.

"This time, thanks to Miss Changle's help, otherwise I would have had a hard time getting away."

After solving Shangguan Xi's difficult problem, Shangguan Jin was in a good mood and held a banquet at the Prince's Mansion to thank Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue smiled politely, raised her glass in response, and drank it all in one gulp.

Shangguan Jin smiled even more brightly upon seeing this, and praised: "As expected of Changle, you act decisively." Then he turned to Jiang Chen, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes: "Huaichen, your sister is really outstanding."

Jiang Chen avoided his gaze and looked down at his wine glass awkwardly.

Shangguan Jin’s enthusiasm made him feel uncomfortable, especially when he thought about what happened that night, which made him feel even more confused.

So he raised his glass and drank it all, trying to use alcohol to forget that ridiculous memory.

Soon after drinking, Jiang Xue felt dizzy and the scene in front of her eyes began to blur. She reluctantly looked at Jiang Chen and found that he had fallen asleep on the table.

With a slight sound, Shangguan Jin put down his wine glass, looked at Jiang Xue who had fallen down, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Your Highness, are you really going to do this?" Mo Huan came over and looked at the unconscious Jiang Xue brother and sister with concern.

"If she didn't want to take Huai Chen away from me, I wouldn't have resorted to such means." Shangguan Jin explained. He had already known that Jiang Xue planned to take Jiang Chen away and return to Qian Kingdom.

Now that he had finally gotten Jiang Chen, he would never let anyone take him away.

Jiang Chen belongs to him and will never leave his side.

This shows how much Shangguan Jin cares about Jiang Chen. If someone harms Jiang Chen, Shangguan Jin will never let them go easily, even if it is Jiang Chen's own sister.

Mo Huan noticed Shangguan Jin's meticulous care for Jiang Chen and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Then he signaled the servants to tie Jiang Xue's hands and blindfold her, and then took her away, leaving only Shangguan Jin and Jiang Chen in the flower hall.

Mo Huan took Jiang Xue in a carriage to a remote wooden house.

After entering the wooden house, there was a woman in a black cloak sitting inside. When she saw Mohuan bringing people in, she turned around to face them.

"Empress Xiurong, this is a special gift from the prince to you." Mo Huan pointed at Jiang Xue and said.

That’s right, this lady is Wang Xiurong.

"The prince acted very quickly, I didn't make a mistake," she said.

Shangguan Xi is dead, and she needs to find new supporters. Among Beixi, Shangguan Jin is obviously a reliable choice.

After some investigation, she learned that Shangguan Jin wanted to get rid of someone, but due to some relationship, he was not convenient to do it himself. This gave her an opportunity to sacrifice this person in exchange for Shangguan Jin's trust and protection.

Even if she knew that Shangguan Jin was the murderer of her brother, what could she do? After all, Wang Ruixuan was only a brother in name only. In order to consolidate her position, she must first ensure her own safety.

"Empress Xiurong, please be sure to handle this matter without leaving any trace. The prince said that as long as you do it perfectly, your life in the harem will be guaranteed." Mohuan reminded.

"Don't worry, before tomorrow morning, Si Ruoxin will be as if she had never appeared here." Wang Xiurong said with a sneer.

However, at this critical moment, Jiang Xue suddenly spoke, which surprised both Mo Huan and Wang Xiurong.

Jiang Xue sat up straight and looked at the two of them with a firm gaze, which made them feel a chill involuntarily.

For some reason, the look in this woman's eyes made people feel scared, even though she didn't take any action. Her disappointed eyes swept over Mo Huan, the second young lady of the Mo family, who was always gentle, rational and steady, and she had admired him deeply.

However, after experiencing betrayal, no matter how much admiration I had in the past, all that is left now is a cold sense of distance.

That disappointed look made Mo Huan feel a little frightened, but she remained calm on the surface.

"Princess Changle," Mo Huan turned to her and said, "It's not that His Highness intended to make things difficult for you, it's just that you touched his bottom line."

If she had not insisted on taking Master Huaichen away from Huyin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not have intended to kill her.

"Then, Your Highness, have you ever thought about who would be the first person to be suspected if I met with an accident here?" Jiang Xue took off the human skin mask and showed her true face.

Wang Xiurong had always been jealous of Jiang Xue, not only because she had opposed her many times, but also because of her outstanding wisdom and beauty. She suggested: "My Lady Concubine, please let me deal with this person, and you should return to the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible."

Jealousy burned her heart like a raging fire. Originally, she just wanted to get rid of Jiang Xue quickly, but now, she changed her mind and decided to destroy her beautiful face first before she could leave with satisfaction.

However, Mo Huan must not know all this, because the people of the Mohist School have always had their own set of principles of integrity and would not agree with such practices.

"Empress Xiurong seems to be planning to deal with me alone? But Changle thinks that with your ability, it would be difficult to cause any harm to me." Jiang Xue stood up and walked slowly towards the two of them.

Although she was smiling, she exuded a deadly aura.

Although Wang Xiurong was intimidated by her aura, she resisted the urge to retreat for the sake of her reputation until Jiang Xue stopped a few meters away from her and gently helped her straighten her collar.

A unique fragrance emanated from Jiang Xue's hands, and even Wang Xiurong, who was good at using spices, could not identify what kind of spice it was.

"Empress Xiurong, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. It's not safe for you to come here wearing so thin." Jiang Xue said with a smile.

Mo Huan silently watched Jiang Xue's seemingly friendly behavior.

If someone walked in without knowing the truth, they might think that the relationship between the two of them was very close.

However, Jiang Xue's words made Mo Huan feel a chill.

Usually wearing thin clothing would make people worry about catching a cold, but Jiang Xue linked this issue to safety.

At this time, a slight hissing sound was heard. Mo Huan looked down and saw a group of colorful snakes appearing in the wooden house. They were winding towards Wang Xiurong and gradually entwining her body.

Wang Xiurong also felt something strange on her leg at this time. She looked down and met the cold eyes of the snakes, which scared her to death.
