"Even though the Minister Wen is my cousin, sometimes I also don’t like him. He’s too old-fashioned." Xue Mier said helplessly. This was what she was thinking, the Minister Wen did not know how to change the situation, and he would occasionally force her, making her feel helpless.

If you want me to say it, Minister Wen is too inflexible, he doesn’t know how to change. He’s even worried that I will weaken his position, so when I was in the palace, he drank my wine everyday. Hu Xiao would talk non-stop while drinking. These were all thoughts in her heart.

At this time, Soong Xuan raised her wine cup and excitedly said: "Enough, forget about him. For this kind of occasion, mentioning such a person would ruin the mood. Empress, let me toast you with a glass, you are truly resourceful, you are undoubtedly my idol."

"The feeling of success is just too great. Haha, men are not a problem, we are the most amazing women. Hu Xiao is a good example to all of us." Xue Mier said excitedly as she personally poured a cup of wine for Hu Xiao.

In her opinion, the success that Hu Xiao had obtained was the success of a woman. She was full of smiles as she blended into one with Hu Xiao and the others, successfully hiding the uneasiness in her heart.

"That’s true. You women are not inferior to us men. Look at you, you know a little about everything. Some of you even know better than us men." Yin Fufeng praised his as well. During these few times, he could tell that when women did things, they could be energetic, and the effects were not bad.

"Yeah, it’s a must. With a single glance, Hu Xiao can tell that she’s someone who would do great things. When I’m together with Hu Xiao, I’m the same as her, who does great things." Xue Mier said proudly. She patted her chest and held her head high.

Suddenly, Hu Xiao remembered that Xue Mier was Qin Shuo’s concubine. She looked at Xue Mier teasingly and said: "Xue Mier, you and I are love rivals.

Hu Xiao pursed her lips and intentionally teased Xue Mier. She thought that when Xue Mier heard these words, she would be in a bad mood, but who knew, Xue Mier didn’t care at all.

She waved her hand at Hu Xiao, and said: "I didn’t care about it since long ago, otherwise I wouldn’t have followed you here. It’s just a love rival, not a natural enemy, this relationship can be dissolved.

Xue Mier said in a serious tone. As she said this, she was about to pour wine from the jar, but she realized that there were no more wine left.

"Ah, there’s no wine left. I’ll go get some wine. You guys wait here for me." Xue Mier stretched her back, but there was no change in her mood.

"Alright, alright, go quickly." Hu Xiao urged, if there was no wine to drink, it would be uninteresting to sit and chat.

After Xue Mier left, Yin Fufeng looked at Hu Xiao with a worried gaze. He looked for a long time without saying anything.

Sensing his gaze, Hu Xiao was secretly puzzled, thinking, why is Yin Fufeng looking at me like that, I didn’t do anything to let him down.

"Yin Fufeng, why are you looking at me like that? If you have something to say, just say it. What does it have to do with Xue Mier?" She squinted at Yin Fufeng, waiting for his answer.

As soon as Xue Mier left, Yin Fufeng’s gaze turned to him. Could it be that he had some sort of scheme?

"You can’t be thinking that I have some thoughts about Xue Mier, right?" Hu Xiao asked slowly. This kind of thought was dangerous, what she usually said was just a joke.

Yin Fufeng wouldn’t be taking it seriously, right?

"No, cousin, what I want to ask is, you really don’t care about Xue Mier’s existence? She’s your cousin’s concubine, your love rival. Even if cousin’s heart is with you now, Xue Mier has always been with cousin’s heart, do you really think there’s nothing wrong with it? "

Yin Fufeng asked worriedly, afraid that Hu Xiao would accumulate her anger in her heart. This was not good for Hu Xiao.

In the palace, everyone knew of the relationship between Qin Shuo and his wife. Both of them trusted each other, but they would inevitably be instigated by bad people.

Moreover, Xue Mier looked fine on the surface, but no one knew what she was thinking in her heart.

"Of course, what do I have in my heart? Xue Mier is not my match, I was able to snatch Qin Shuo from Xue Mier’s hands, and from that time onwards, I will not treat her as my rival in love."

Hu Xiao did not care about what she said, in her eyes, the person who was on par with her was the love rival, she could not even be considered as a love rival, at most, it was just wishful thinking for her.

"You’re really magnanimous. Cousin had loved Xue Mier before, so maybe the two of them will rekindle again. You’d better take it easy, you’re too confident." Yin Fufeng said with a smile, he did not want to attack Hu Xiao, but wanted to remind her.

He kept having the feeling that there was something wrong with Xue Mier coming over.

"Alright, if Qin Shuo changes his mind, then I can just kick him. There are a lot of men in the world, so there’s no need to look for Qin Shuo." Hu Xiao shrugged her shoulders and said with an excited voice.

Actually, she believed in Qin Shuo in her heart, and firmly believed that Qin Shuo would not change his mind.

"In short, you have to be careful of Xue Mier. Perhaps the reason why she approached you was so that she could obtain your trust and then catch you off guard."

Hearing Yin Fufeng’s words, Soong Xuan felt that what he said was reasonable, and so she followed, "Empress, Prime Minister Yin’s words are not without reason. We should indeed be careful of him."

On the other side, Xue Mier looked at the wine in the jar and couldn’t help but be dumbstruck. This was a good opportunity to add medicine, if she missed this chance, it would be difficult to do so in the future.

"Xue Mier, do you really want to do this?" Xue Mier muttered to herself. Minister Wen’s secret order spun in her mind, causing her to feel uncertain.

On one side was the honor of her family, and on the other was the yearning in her heart. Xue Mier tightly held onto a medicinal bag in her hands, and in the end, she sprinkled the medicinal powder on the alcohol, and the entire process only took a few seconds.

She was stunned as she watched the altar take the wine.

"The honor of the clan. Hu Xiao, the reason why I did this, was for the honor of the clan. I’m sorry." Xue Mier opened and closed her mouth, silently apologizing to Hu Xiao.

If the poison was spread to the alcohol, it would mean that she was sorry for the Hu Xiao who enlightened her.

She held the jar and walked step by step towards the place where they met just now. Her footsteps were slow, Hu Xiao and the rest waited for a long time, they almost thought that something had happened to Xue Mier.

"Why did Xue Mier go for so long? She couldn’t have been kidnapped by others, right? By right, we should be able to go back and forth several times during this period of time." Yin Fufeng rubbed his chin and asked curiously. He turned his eyes back and forth, pondering over where Xue Mier had gone to.

"It can’t be that she’s lost her temper, right? I was teasing her like that earlier." Hu Xiao laughed, then thought, Xue Mier was not shy.

But where they had gone, that was what they wanted to know.
