Chapter 667: Her Purpose?

Zi Ling’s biological mother.”Hearing Mo Yunjing's affirmation, An Xuetang frowned, "Then what's going on You must have noticed it too, right Ajing The way that flower looks at Zilong...it's very wrong...Hearing the man's angry words, the kneeling man dared not utter a sound.

After letting his anger cool, he began to speak of the matter at hand. “How did last night go”

"All went well, the Emperor is still lying in bed unable to move."

“Great!”

At this moment, the man in black suddenly raised his head, "Reporting to my master, regarding last night's incident, the Emperor sent Zhu Xing from Dali Temple, King of Beijang, and the Fourth Prince to investigate together. They are bound to uncover the truth within two days."

"Two days" The man let out a disdainful laugh, then his face darkened. "I've been laying the groundwork for decades, does he really think those three young punks can unravel it all just by investigating He's still the same old fool, utterly oblivious!"

Having said that, he couldn't help but let out a cold snort and said in a sinister tone: "Since I've already prepared to counterattack, even if the Jade Emperor himself comes to investigate, I won't stop. Today, you throw this dead rat onto his bed and let him sleep with it."

"Yes, understood."

That glint of killing intent in his eyes flashed by, for this dog emperor, he naturally wanted to kill him. However, before he could accomplish what he set out to do, this dog emperor couldn't die.

But from now on, he will never let this puppet emperor sleep soundly!

Since last night, his plan has been in full swing. Until the "dog emperor" dies, this plan will never stop!

The Dog Emperor fears nothing more than dead mice. If that's the case, then he should treat dead mice as gifts and send them to others!

On the other side, within the Bei Jiang Wangfu.

Shuangshuang had already taken a good bath and changed into clean clothes. Shou'er even helped her comb her hair, so she no longer looked like a ghost with disheveled hair.

Shuangshuang looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes full of surprise. She had never seen herself look so beautiful before. She had lived underground day and night as far back as she could remember.

Only when she felt that no one was outside did she dare to sneak out and look at the sky, look at the sun.

And the only person she could talk to, her winter aunt, almost always appeared at midnight. Because only then were almost all the people in the palace asleep.

And at that hour, the guards patrolling the palace would subconsciously relax their vigilance. This was how Dong GuGu could successfully go to find her without being easily discovered.

Shuangshuang was also seeing her own face seriously for the first time. For a moment, she seemed to understand why Dong GuGu made her keep dirt on her face all the time.

Although she was young and her features hadn't fully developed, she was undeniably a beauty. If the Imperial Guards captured her like this, it would be more than just a simple execution.

Thinking of Dong GuGu's kindness to her, her eyes welled up with tears. Suddenly, she really missed Dong GuGu and wanted to know how she was doing.

She wanted to delude herself into believing that Dong GuGu was simply preoccupied with other matters and therefore couldn't come to see her, rather than the fact that she was gone and therefore unable to visit.

Feeling Shuangshuang's low spirits, Shou'er and Kang'er exchanged a glance but did not disturb her.

In a short while, An Xuetang arrived. As An Xuetang and Ning'er walked in, Shuangshuang had already regained her composure. She stood up and quickly bowed to An Xuetang, "Shuangshuang greets the Northern Border Princess."

An Xue Tang raised an eyebrow. Did this child learn to salute her all of a sudden

"No need for formalities." An Xue Tang walked up to her step by step, helping her up. "Your little face is truly pretty after washing it clean."

Upon hearing An Xue Tang's compliment, Shuang Shuang's cheeks flushed slightly, revealing a bashfulness befitting her age.

An Xuetang reached out and touched her head, "How is it Are you still getting used to it If you need anything here, just tell the older sisters."

Having finished speaking, An Xuetang looked at Ning'er and her three sisters, instructing them, "Shuangshuang is new here and doesn't understand many things. You should all be more tolerant."

The three Ning'er sisters immediately bowed, "Yes."

A slight smile appeared on Shuangshuang's face, "Thank you, Princess of Beijiang."

“Alright, there’s no need for thanks. If you have the energy, let Shou'er and Kang'er take you around the Bei Jiang Wangfu to familiarize yourself. It's unlikely you'll be leaving here for a very long time."

Speaking of this, Shuangshuang's expression suddenly became serious, "Your Highness, Shuangshuang can't sell herself into slavery, if..."

"What are you thinking about" An Xuetang interrupted her with a smile, reaching out to tap her head. "I let you live in Bei Jiang Wangfu not to have you serve as a maid in my house. Besides, my large wangfu could hardly use another maid, could it"

Hearing An Xuetang say this, Shuangshuang lowered her head and remained silent for a moment before continuing with a forced smile, "If it wasn't to make me a slave, then... wouldn't you be selling me into that kind of place"

Where would you buy such a thing

An Xuetang pondered for a moment over Shuangshuang's words and immediately understood what she meant. She couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time:

"No, this concubine will not allow you to enter such a place, nor will she sell you!"

Both of them still had doubts in their hearts. It wasn't to keep her in the house as a maidservant, nor was it to sell her into such a place. Then why would this unrelated and foreign Northern Border Princess help herverything in the secret room. The offerings were still neatly arranged on the table.Mo Yunjing clenched his fists slightly, his deep eyes fixed on the skeleton and the pink jade pendant on it.He didn'...
