these days. After eating his fill, he returned to his room to rest.An Xuetang and Mo Yunjing then lay back on the bed. The two were preparing for a nap, but both of them had something on their minds,...Huāduǒ really understood Níng'er's reason for doing so. While she responded to Níng'er's attack, she asked, "Níng'er, are you suspecting me of lying"

Ninger's face was dark, and her voice was icy cold. "Shouldn't we be suspicious If the person you mentioned truly exists, with his abilities, would he need to use your hands to harm our princess"

She didn't think her suspicions were wrong. If the person Flower spoke of truly existed, then why go to such lengths to bring Flower to the palace to get close to their princess

If that person could truly sneak into the Northern Border Prince's Mansion without a sound and evade searches by people like Yun Si, then their skill and ability to hide would be incredibly profound. To deal with their princess, taking advantage of the cover of night to silently enter Jingtang Garden and attack her unseen wouldn't be any more difficult, right

Why go to all the trouble of entering the palace to bring out the flowers, and then make such a fuss along the way

So she racked her brains, the only possibility was that Huā Duǒ'er was lying!

No one actually gave her notes; she made the whole thing up.

Even the little flower knew her words were suspicious, but she truly wasn't lying.

At this moment, Ning'er suddenly struck hard, landing a palm strike on Huadu's shoulder.

Ning'er's palm strike was completely serious, with no mercy shown. As a result, Huāduǒ was struck and staggered back, clutching her wounded shoulder with one hand.

At this moment, An Xuetang seemed to have understood something. As Ning'er was about to continue attacking Huaduoer, she shouted, "Ning'er, stop!"

An Xuetang's words were an order. Ning'er, though unwilling in her heart, could only stop. However, she still stared at Hua Duo'er warily, afraid that she would attack An Xuetang.

Hua Duo'er rubbed her shoulders, which were numb from being beaten. An Xue Tang frowned and was about to say something when Yun Si rushed over with his men.

"My Queen, are you alright"

Yun Si's eyes also held worry, clearly he was facing some difficult problem.

"I'm fine."

Only then did Yun Si look around the room after hearing An Xue Tang's answer.

His eyes swept over the flowers and Ning'er. As clever as he was, he didn't need anyone to explain the situation to him.

He looked at Ning'er, "Ning'er, Miss Duo'er didn't lie. I saw someone throw out a note with my own eyes, but when we chased after them, there was no one there."

An Xuetang walked to Ning'er first and patted her on the shoulder, "Ning'er, don't hold on too tightly."

Everything Ning'er did was for her, and she knew that of course.

To say she hadn't doubted, like Ning'er, that Huaduo'er was fake, after hearing Huaduo'er's explanation, her inner reaction was the same as Ning'er's.

She also suspected that Huaduo was putting on a show, otherwise, if there really was such a person, why would they go to such lengths to enter the palace and take Huaduo out

But upon closer thought, she didn't feel that Huāduǒr had betrayed her. The only difference between her and Níng'er was that after a brief period of doubt, she chose to believe in Huāduǒr.

At this moment, An Xuetang had already walked to Huā Duǒ's side, and raised her hand to place it on her injured area, "How serious is it Let me treat your wound first."

Ning'er still hadn't completely put her doubts about Huadouer aside, but seeing that their princess had chosen to believe Huadouer, she stepped forward and bowed, "Miss Huadouer, what happened just now..."

Huahua knew what she wanted to say, so she interrupted her at this moment, "You don't need to say anything. If I were in your position, I would have made a move too, and even earlier than you. So there's no need to apologize or explain."

When Yun Si saw that they had finished speaking, he thought it was just a small matter, so after Hua Duoer finished speaking, he said, "Your Highness, it is my incompetence that I couldn't find even a trace of that person."

An Xuetang pursed her lips, and after a moment of silence, she sat back down. "Tell me everything carefully, starting from the moment Duo'er saw you. I want to know everyone she met and everything she said."

Yun Si nodded and began to speak one by one.

The guard came to tell me that Lady Duoer was outside the palace. I was quite surprised, so I went to see for myself. On the way, I didn't encounter anyone suspicious. I did run into a cook from the main kitchen heading to the back gate of the palace to collect firewood.

“However, my subordinates have just checked with the kitchen staff. They said that firewood from the palace is delivered at a specific time every day, and logically speaking, he should only go to the back door after an hour. However, today Ninger went to the main kitchen earlier. The cook was afraid there wouldn't be enough firewood, so she woke him up and asked him to go to the back door and bring in today's firewood. His explanation has already been confirmed with the cook.”

Yun Si finished speaking, and Ning'er on the side nodded slightly, "When the cook called the handyman at that time, I was right there. The cook and the handyman did not lie about this matter."

An Xuetang still remembered the cook and the chef.

She has always been cautious. Today's coincidences could very well be premeditated lucky accidents, and she couldn't help but be suspicious.

"At that moment, Yun Si continued, 'When I saw Miss Duo'er and heard her whisper that someone was watching her, I immediately signaled to the dark guards to find out who it was. They searched high and low, but couldn't find anyone.'"

Later, my subordinate brought Miss Duo into the palace and kept watch over her from the shadows. The goal was to catch the person Miss Duo mentioned.

"When that man threw out the first note, my subordinates only saw a shadow. We rushed over and searched high and low, but he was gone without a trace."

"..."

An Xuetang frowned. In just a moment, the person could already have vanished without a trace

Others might not know, but she was very clear about it. The palace was full of people everywhere, especially in every corner, where dark guards and people from Xintanggu were guarding.

After Ajing left her house, in order to protect her and the fetus in her womb, both Yun's army and Xun Tanggu's brothers didn't dare to relax their vigilance. How did that person manage to 'disappear' instantly

This is really strange.

Yun Si said again, “I couldn’t find anyone, and just as I turned around to look for Girl Duo'er and Shuangshuang, I saw a piece of paper thrown at Girl Duo'er’s feet.”

"This time, I could clearly feel that the person was extremely close to us. But what's even more frustrating is that no matter how fast we rushed over, that person would instantly vanish!"

"!"

An Xuetang and Huaduo glanced at each other, their confusion deepening. Could it be that they had encountered a ghost in broad daylight

"My subordinates simply refused to believe it was a supernatural event, so we continued searching the manor, but we haven't found anything yet."

An Xue Tang frowned, after a moment's pause she didn't know what she had figured out. Her eyes lit up and she suddenly looked at Yun Si, "Why didn't you send someone to tell me about Duo'er entering the mansion in advance"

""

Yun Si's eyes widened in an instant. He didn't have time to respond to An Xue Tang's words and immediately rushed out of the courtyard. "What's wrong Is someone chasing you"To hear that the Princess of Beijiang could still joke, and that she looked very well, it seemed that there wasn't really anything serious wrong.Until this moment...
