broken engagement was kept under wraps, Xiao Yufu knew about it within the palace.Qian Yi's face was etched with sorrow as she shook her head. "Your Highness, please don't blame yourself. This has not...Fang Minrou felt as if she had been stripped bare at that moment, standing there awkwardly. She slowly looked at Hakza, her red-rimmed eyes—whether from anger or tears, she couldn't tell: "After I returned from the Chi Yan Nation, I only followed you, and the night we…" Fang Minrou paused, taking a deep breath, "...I took the Jie Zi Dan. I swear on my life, the child in my belly is yours!"

"How could I have heard that just two days ago, you climbed onto King Xiaoyao's bed What You climbed onto someone else's bed, and they didn't want you, so you're in a hurry to find a father for the bastard in your belly Do you take me for a fool" Hakza didn't believe her words at all.

"Whether you believe it or not, I'm carrying your child." Fang Minrou suddenly felt like coming to him might have been a mistake. But since she had gotten this far, she wouldn't give up. Fang Minrou always saw things through to the end, and that was no different now.

"Don't give me that. No one would believe a story like that. Just tell me why you're really here." Hakka didn't believe for a second that a woman as cunning as her would come to him so innocently, just wanting him to take responsibility.

“I know you've always wanted to go back to Chiyan, and you've also received news that your sister, Silver Moon Princess, has secretly come to Lan Zhao Country to help you return. But it's not enough with just the two of you. In fact, I can also help. Whether you admit it or not, the child in my belly is yours. However, I don't intend for you to acknowledge this child. I can raise him myself. It's just that we have a common enemy. Do you really want to see her get her wish”

"I knew I wasn't wrong about you. This is the real reason you came to me today," Hakka chuckled coldly. "Just say it, what do you want Considering we spent a night together, I can grant you a favor."

"I want to make Xiao Yuge's marriage impossible!" As soon as the name Xiao Yuge was mentioned, Fang Minrou's eyes blazed with anger, wishing she could tear her to shreds.

"What a coincidence, Your Majesty has already heard this from the third person today. It seems that Xiao Yuge has really offended quite a few people. So many people don't want her to be well." Hakza wasn't surprised at all.

"Are there others Who are they" Fang Minrou was very surprised. Besides her, who else wouldn't want Xiao Yuge to marry Brother Tingxuan

Hakka's face darkened slightly: "Fang Minrou, as for who they are, you needn't inquire. Just know that their purpose is the same as yours. Rest assured, Xiao Yuge is destined not to marry!"

"Are you sure" Fang Minrou still had suspicion in her eyes.

"You love it or leave it," Huck also didn't bother with her, lazily lounging back in the recliner.

“But I don’t just want to stop Xiao Yuge from getting married, I want to destroy her!” Fang Minrou’s eyes flashed with intense hatred. All of her humiliation was thanks to Xiao Yuge; even the Empress Dowager, who loved her most, no longer wanted to see her. How could she not hate her Even if she tortured Xiao Yuge a thousand times over, it wouldn’t ease the burning resentment in her heart.

Hackza glanced at her face, brimming with hate, and raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to do"

Fang Minrou leaned close to his ear and whispered something in his ear...

"Alright, as you wish! But..." Hackzah deliberately paused, sizing Fang Minrou up and down: "Fang Minrou, you better not have any ulterior motives. If you dare to scheme against me again, I will not let you off!"

"Well, of course, after all, whether you admit it or not, you're the father of my child. I wouldn't harm the father of my child, would I" Fang Minrou finished speaking, then turned and glided away.

In that very moment she turned, the smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a chilling, bone-deep malice. Her hand deep within her sleeve had already clenched into a fist. In her heart, she silently vowed: one day, she would personally kill this beast!

"Your Highness, this woman's words are not to be trusted!" Jinliu whispered a warning beside him.

Huck gazed at the retreating figure, a smile deepening on his lips: “It doesn’t matter, anyway, their goals are all the same. As long as Xiao Yuge can’t make it to the wedding, I’ve fulfilled my promise. At least what Fang Minrou does afterward, I have nothing to do with it.”

"But, those two had specifically instructed that Xiao Yuge should not be harmed in any way, otherwise..."

Hakezza stopped him with a hand: "That was made by Fan Minrou, what does it have to do with this palace"

"Your Highness is wise!"

A deeper, more enigmatic smile played across Hack's face.

At this time, Xiao Yu Ge was oblivious to all of this scheming. She hadn't returned home all night and after coming back, she rearranged Lu Xiang Wan's living quarters and arranged for someone to take care of her. After finishing everything, it was already dusk when she went to the palace to see Qian Ting Xuan, naturally followed by another lecture from him.

“You said you were fine and ran out, even pushing my people away. What do you want Are you trying to kill me Do you know I didn’t sleep all night Every time I closed my eyes, I saw you injured. All day today, I was lost in thought, terrified that I would hear news of your injuries…”

Seeing Qian Tingxuan's angry face there, Xiao Yuge bit her lip tightly and lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong. She nodded her fingertip. She knew he was worried about her, and she also knew that staying out all night was indeed wrong, so she let him reprimand her.

Seeing her like this, Qian Tingxuan realized he had gone too far. His concern had turned into chaos. He hurriedly took her hand, his voice unconsciously softening: "Xiao Ge'er, I'm sorry. I was a bit hasty... I said that no matter where you go, you have to let me know. I'm just afraid something might happen to you." There were so many people in this imperial city who coveted her and wanted to harm her. It was already difficult to defend against them within the city walls. If she left the city, wouldn't those people become even more unscrupulous

“I know, Brother Xuan is the person who cares about me the most in the world.” Xiao Yuge looked up playfully at him, her cheeks flushed with a touch of crimson, blooming like a sea of clouds. Her eyes, clear as water, sparkled with ripples and overflowed with smiles. The sweet sound of “Brother Xuan” echoed into someone's heart, causing it to bloom instantly. Even the greatest anger was extinguished in this moment.

"Little rascal, what am I going to do with you" Those eyes again! Qianting Xuan looked at the pair of innocent eyes before him, his heart melting. He couldn't help but reach out and touch them.

She was already the formidable mistress of the Frost and Snow Pavilion, capable of standing alone against any challenge. Yet, before him, she retained a rare childlike innocence and naiveté that belied her strength. Her clear eyes, unmarred by worldly impurities, were as pure and innocent as when he first met her. Anyone who looked into those eyes would surely be captivated.he face: "Reward for you!" Then she ran swiftly towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.Qian Tingxuan came back to his senses and couldn't help but chuckle, "This little girl!" He also followed closely b...
