The little girl's face turned pale and then red, filled with shock, fear, and hatred, her emotions so readily apparent that Fang Ruotang could see right through her.

Fang Shengtang immediately stood in front of Fang Ruotang and called out "Yu Sheng". Yu Sheng, who was guarding the deck, appeared instantly and his gaze fell precisely on Fang Shengtang.

"Quickly seize her and hand her over to His Highness the Crown Prince. This person may be an accomplice of General Hua."

General Hua's fate was no secret, but he was not publicly executed. After all, General Hua commanded an army of 100,000, and the court feared that his men might rebel and cause a border rebellion.

Therefore, while the imperial court secretly dealt with General Hua and his forces, it also sent people to the border to receive the 100,000 soldiers.

Did she betray her country like General Hua?

No, not at all. He's just plain stupid. A few years ago, General Hua saved him when he returned to the capital, and he's held that person in high regard ever since. He doesn't believe your claim that General Hua betrayed the country.

Fang Ruotang: ...

Speechless.

She thought she was naive enough, but she never expected there was someone even more foolish here.

[General Hua could be her father.] Fang Ruotang was speechless.

She even encouraged Li Mingyu to fight against you.

Li Mingyu was stunned. She was already terrified that she had invited someone who was hostile to the Grand Preceptor, but now she was involved in this too?

【Really? 】

[Well, Li Mingyu considered her a friend and didn't see through her ill intentions. Mainly, she didn't dare to be too obvious; she only mentioned it briefly, but Li Mingyu didn't even notice. After all, Li Mingyu herself wasn't unhappy about the annulment of the engagement; on the contrary, she was quite happy that the marriage had given her an opportunity to cultivate immortality.]

Wow, Li Mingyu really likes me.

She has good taste.

【Yes. 】
