The man stared at her with unwilling eyes before slowly collapsing to the ground. She glanced at the small red figure on the floor, then looked back at Huāduǒr, "Huāduǒr, what would you like to do with her"

She had been hiding in the shadows all along, watching everything Little Red said and did. Even before the man covered her mouth, she dared to call Flower by name. A maidservant like this was no longer suitable to remain by her side.

The flower knows that itself.

Xiaohong's betrayal is a fact. She won't allow someone who betrayed her to stay by her side. However, Xiaohong and she depend on each other, having worked together for over a decade, both contributing and enduring hardship. She certainly wouldn't execute Xiaohong.

Since she's determined to get married and live a good life for the rest of her days, then let's bless her with that.

The person sent by Mo Yunchen was clearly approaching Xiaohong on purpose. Of course, she wouldn't agree to let Xiaohong continue to have contact with this person. Moreover, once this person knew that Xiaohong had no more use value for him, he would probably kill Xiaohong with his own hands.

However, this person's appearance made her reflect on one thing. Xiaohong had been by her side for so many years, since they left the Blue Country palace, they had never had the opportunity to contact any men. If she had spoken then and asked Xiaohong to leave, Xiaohong would have been terrified.

And she had never experienced so-called romantic feelings between men and women, nor had she ever had the opportunity to interact with other men. Such a departure would undoubtedly make her unwilling, and she lacked a sense of security.

She's fallen for a smooth-talking, manipulative man she met recently.

To put it simply, she hadn't met many people and was very naive. Anyone with ill intentions could easily deceive her.

She had been paying less attention to Xiao Hong these days, and failed to notice her abnormalities in time, which led to the situation today. She wouldn't blame Xiao Hong for it.

But Xiaohong's attitude just now also made her realize that Xiaohong actually yearned for a different kind of life, and she shouldn't be kept in the deep palace.

Having thought of this, Hua Duo looked at Ning'er with great determination, “I'd still trouble you, Ning'er, to take Xiao Hong out and find her a good home.”

Ning'er is a smart person, Xiaohong has been with Huaduo for so many years, it is impossible that Huaduo would want Xiaohong's life for something like this today.

Hua Duo'er asked her to find a good family for her, which could be considered Hua Duo'er putting an end to their decades of master-servant relationship. Doing so would allow Hua Duo'er to live without regret.

Then she glanced at the unconscious Xiaohong and nodded slightly, "Good."

Ning'er didn't want to be away from her mistress for too long, so she chatted with Huaduo'er for a few moments. The two of them then disposed of the man's body on the ground. Huaduo'er went back first, and Ning'er left the palace with Xiaohong.

……

North Xinjiang Prince's Mansion

When Ning'er carried Xiaohong back, An Xuetang hadn't slept yet. Ning'er entering the palace to assist Huaduo with her matters, she knew.

So now he just sat and waited for Ning'er to come back.

Seeing Ning'er carry Xiaohong back, her brows furrowed, but there was no surprise in her eyes.

Even a few hours ago, Ning'er had told her after returning from the palace that the maidservant beside Huadao was in contact with those sent by Moyunchen. She had guessed that Huadao wouldn't allow Xiaohong to stay in the palace any longer.

Right now, it's just that Xiaohong was carried back by Ning'er. That means things didn't go as smoothly as we hoped.

Ning'er's personality was always cool and aloof. Except for her own princess, Shou'er, Kang'er, and a few others, she wouldn't have any sympathy for anyone else.

Especially tonight, she had heard Xiaohong's excessive words to Huaduoer, so she couldn't possibly care if this fall would hurt Xiaohong.

An Xuetang gave a deep look at the little red on the ground, then turned to Ninger, looking her up and down, "Are you hurt"

"Ning'er shook her head slightly, "No, that man wasn't very skilled. Even if I hadn't intervened, Miss Duo'er would have been able to handle him on her own."

“With you going, I feel a little more at ease. Is Dò'er alright Did she get hurt”

"No."

Only then did An Xuetang completely relax.

A few hours ago, Ning'er came back to the palace and told me about the situation. She said that Mo Yunchen's people had contacted Xiao Hong and even successfully deceived her. She was worried about Huāduǒ because of this.

After all, Huāduǒ's feelings for Xiaohóng are not ordinary. She knows better than anyone how painful it is to be betrayed by someone she trusts deeply.

That's why Ning'er had to run this trip herself.

It's fine, the flower is okay.

Just then, Xiaohong on the ground also moved.

The gazes of An Xuetang and the others turned to her, none speaking, waiting for her to wake up on her own.

Xiaohong let out a few whimpers and slowly opened her eyes. She didn't know what had happened to her, she just felt that her whole body was aching and uncomfortable at the moment.

Her hand instinctively went to the back of her neck, rubbing it as she looked up to see what was going on.

When she caught sight of An Xue Tang, her whole body froze. She even forgot the pain in her body.

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow. “What Surprised to see this princess”

Xiaohong finally came to her senses, her face filled with panic, she frantically searched back and forth.

She didn't see the man nor the flowers, she instantly wanted to get up and run away.

She hadn't even taken a step before Ning'er easily pulled her back.

"You...what do you want to do"

Little Red trembled all over, her voice a shrill cry.

Ning'er frowned, knowing her mistress disliked such jarring sounds. Before An Xue Tang could give any instructions, she kicked Xiao Hong on the back of the knee with a swift motion, sending Xiao Hong crashing to her knees.

The pain coming from her knee made Xiaohong let out a scream, but she couldn't even finish two cries before Ning'er sealed her acupoints.

Ninger slowly squatted down, those emotionless eyes staring at Xiaohong. Her cold voice said word by word, "My princess doesn't like noisy sounds. If you make such a harsh sound again, then your tongue... will be gone."

"!!!"

< Xiao Hong's eyes widened instantly, meeting the gaze of the person before her. She felt a shiver run down her spine. A feeling overcame her - if she dared to scream again, this terrifying woman would personally cut out her tongue. >

No!

She can't be without a tongue.

Ninger was pleased with the fearful look on her face, and narrowed her eyes slightly. "Our princess still has questions to ask you. Besides answering them, if you dare to make any inappropriate sounds or utter any nonsense, I won't mind making you completely mute, understand"

Xiaohong, someone like her who was naturally timid, was so frightened by Ning'er that she didn't dare to ask any further questions. She could only nod repeatedly.

An Xuetang watched silently the whole time, waiting until Xiao Hong was frightened by Ninger. She shook her head slightly, "What did that man tell you these days Start from the beginning."is father and fifth uncle.If they were missing the explosives, they wouldn't be able to break through.
