"I've taken a liking to this place of yours, it's an honor. Just let me have it, naturally, you won't be short on silver."An Xuetang let out a cold laugh, “Thank you for patronizing my humble shop, bu...Others didn't know, but she had her suspicions. Back then, for the sake of the Valley Master's health, she accompanied the Princess in reading many medical books.

From a medical record book she found on the underworld, she had seen the consequences of a poison transfer from mother to child.

According to the record, the child born to the woman who was poisoned by a curse became a little devil who took pleasure in killing.

From a very young age, he had killed many people. When he was ten years old, he massacred his entire clan because they looked down on his mother and bullied her. So when he was ten years old, he personally poisoned his clan members, making them unconscious, and then personally beheaded everyone in the clan.

There were sixty or so people, all of whom were beheaded that night by a child who was only ten years old.

After seeing this case, she immediately went to investigate the matter in secret from the princess. So many people had died all at once, and they were all beheaded. Such a big event would surely cause a stir.

As expected, the people she sent to investigate soon brought back news, confirming that the matter was indeed true.

And that little demon, after harming his own kin, he also tried to hurt others. Later, his mother could not bear it any longer and poisoned him with her own hands. In the end, she took poison and went to the underworld with him.

Knowing this was true, every time she saw the baby growing in her queen's womb, a worry would arise in her heart, fearing that when the child was born, it too would become...a little devil.

But later she comforted herself, that the little demon's mother wasn't bewitched by love poison, but a more potent kind of venom.

So she couldn't help but feel relieved in her heart, that the love poison among their royal consorts wasn't highly lethal, so it shouldn't result in children with such a murderous nature.

< > Given the current situation, she couldn't help but worry again. < >

An Xuetang was looking at Zhao Si's blood-stained head, but she could feel that the emotions of the people around her were a little off. She turned her head to look at Ning'er, and sure enough, she saw Ning'er's brows furrowed, as if she had encountered some difficult problem.

She blinked. "Ning'er, what's wrong"

Ning'er instantly came to her senses and shook her head. "Nothing, just think it would be too easy for Zhao Si to die like this"

"It was all about this, An Xue Tang smiled. 'It's fine, these tactics are enough for today, any more would just waste our energy.'"

As for Zhao Si, since she's already fed her those rotten durian fruits, letting her experience the grievances her family's Ah Jing suffered back then, that's enough.

Today, Han Yun just happened to not be by her side. It would be better to get rid of her quickly, otherwise, when Han Yun comes back and knows she wants to kill Zhao Si, she will probably stubbornly protect Zhao Si.

She didn't want things to end in a lose-lose situation with Han Yun, so when she had the opportunity to take care of Zhao Si directly, she naturally wanted to do it quickly. There was no need to let things drag on and risk something changing.

Ning'er also thought of this, she nodded slightly, "This servant understands."

Shour's strike was ruthless. It didn't take long for Zhao Si to die.

After confirming Zhao Si was dead, Shou'er dragged Zhao Si's corpse to the maidservant who had accompanied Zhao Si and threw the body in front of her.

The maidservant's tears flowed endlessly, her whole body trembling. She still couldn't believe that the arrogant and aloof princess had met such a tragic end.

Zhaosi was thrown in front of her. She slowly raised her hand, which trembled uncontrollably, and placed it under Zhaosi's nose to confirm that Zhaosi had truly stopped breathing. She let out a terrified 'ah' scream.

Shou'er frowned and scolded, "What are you yelling for Never seen a dead person before You've been by Zhao Si's side for so many years, you couldn't even count the people she killed with her own hands."

"You...you actually killed our princess, you...you..."

The maidservant was so frightened that she couldn't string a word together, completely at a loss for what to say. Her mind was blank.

Shour narrowed her dangerous eyes and said coldly, “Even if I killed her, so what Do you want to avenge her”

"..."

The maid instantly shut her mouth, shaking her head hurriedly, not daring to speak out so easily again.

The princess of Xuan Kingdom, they said kill just kill. She, a maidservant, what could she possibly do to stop them if they wanted to kill her

"Since she seemed to know her place, An Xuetang smiled and said, "Don't worry, we won't kill you today. Not only will we spare your life, but we'll also have those guards of yours escort you and the head of your princess back to Xuan Guo safely."

“...”

The maidservant trembled all over at the sound of the word "head," staring straight at An Xuetang.

But at this moment, An Xue Tang didn't have time to waste on them. She glanced at Yun Si.

Yun Si immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "Rest assured, My Lady. I know what to do."

Isn't that just a matter of personally beheading Zhao Si He could certainly handle such a small task.

An Xuetang nodded and then left. Ning'er and Shou'er followed closely behind her, but as soon as they reached the living room, they saw Han Yun rushing in. He looked exhausted, as if he had been traveling day and night.

Seeing him like this, An Xuetang frowned, "You...where are you going"

"A few days ago was my mother's death anniversary."

“...”

No wonder he left at this critical juncture, it turns out it was his mother's memorial day.

Just when An Xuetang didn't know what else to say, Han Yun looked at the wide-open door behind An Xuetang, his hands clenched tightly, "She..."

Ning'er and Shou'er looked at each other. Ning'er coldly said two words, "Dead."

"...."

Han Yun moved her lips, but she couldn't bring herself to speak. Upon learning that Zhao Si had returned to the Beijiang Palace, he guessed that this time, Zhao Si was in grave danger. With her reckless actions, it was natural that the Princess of Beijiang wouldn't let her off easily.

When he learned she truly died here, his feelings became complicated again. He felt like he should say something, but he didn't know where to begin or what to say.

An Xuetang could actually guess Han Yun's feelings. Protecting Zhao Si and the others wasn't something he wanted to do, but he was bound by the shackles of morality. He and his father always believed that Zhao Si's mother had saved him and his father back then. Their innate sense of justice told them that they had to repay Zhao Si and the others for a lifetime.

But what they didn't know was that people are all greedy and selfish. Over the years, Zhao Si and others had acted arrogantly and done all sorts of bad things, yet somehow they always managed to get away with it.

It is precisely because they have the Qingyun Pavilion protecting them that talents like Zhao Si and Zhao Li feel increasingly unrestrained and believe they can do whatever they want.

Now that Qiong Yun Pavilion no longer protects them, look, they are coming down to earth. Both siblings died in a foreign land. But who can blame this on

Had they not repeatedly sought their own demise, their status alone would have spared them from this fate.

And, this isn't Xuanguo. Even if Han Yun and the others fight with their lives, they won't be able to protect it.. So there's nothing left to say, just drink it."Liu Lan pursed her lips, she looked at An Xue Tang for a moment, then picked up the teacup in front of her, "Alright, then let's drink."After they clin...
