Just as they were talking, they suddenly heard Xue Mier’s voice from behind them.
"I’m here. I was delayed by something and made everyone wait for a long time." Xue Mier said apologetically. Under the shine of the moonlight, Xue Mier’s face was extremely pale.
Yin Fufeng stared at her for a long time, thinking that he was seeing things. When Xue Mier finally arrived in front of her, she knew that she was not seeing things.
"Imperial Consort Xue, what’s wrong? Why are you so pale?" Yin Fufeng asked in shock. Did he think that something had happened to her?
From her departure until now, only a quarter of an hour had passed. What exactly had Xue Mier experienced in that quarter of an hour?
Yin Fufeng made a question in his heart. When he asked this question, everyone looked at Xue Mier one after the other.
"I... "I’m fine." She changed her words, "When I went to get the alcohol, I suddenly thought that we would be leaving very soon. We have only been here for twenty days, and I have witnessed Hu Xiao’s hard work and abilities. To be honest, this trip has been very helpful to my growth."
After saying that, Xue Mier started to cry, these words came from the bottom of her heart, and this was also the reason why she had always been conflicted.
She put down the wine jar and wrapped her arms around Hu Xiao’s neck as she continued to speak: "Hu Xiao, I thank you very much. Otherwise, I would have to stay in the Imperial Palace and fight with the concubines of the palace for the jealousy, and I would have to pass my life in this manner. But it’s different now, you have to teach me, and let me know that I can create a new world.
Xue Mier hugged her tightly, as if she was hugging a lover. After Hu Xiao was hugged by her, she could feel Xue Mier’s excitement.
"Alright, I got it. Don’t say it like that. It’s true. I didn’t come here just to comfort you. Why are you doing this?" Hu Xiao said while grinning, as she pushed Xue Mier away. Her target was the women of the entire East Court, and not just Xue Mier.
She was naturally happy that Xue Mier had been affected by her, "If you really want to thank me, then you should do so in the same way that I do.
Hu Xiao had always valued actual action, and this time was no exception.
"Empress, Imperial Consort Xue loves you so much, why don’t you two have a drink together?" Soong Xuan raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.
This thought suddenly popped into her mind. Having a drink with these two women was nothing at all. Moreover, they were the emperor’s concubines, so she should be able to use them a little!
Thinking about that, Soong Xuan actually poured two cups of wine, she urged, "Empress, don’t reject, Imperial Consort Xue is waiting!"
"She and I are not husband and wife, so why should we exchange our drinks? If we don’t drink, I won’t, but rather, want to drink between you and Xue Mier." Hu Xiao spread out her hands. She didn’t want to drink any wine with Xue Mier at all.
After listening, Xue Mier was a little anxious. If Hu Xiao did not drink it, then wouldn’t her poison have been poisoned for nothing?
No!
"Hu Xiao, there’s nothing you can do after drinking it. This is my worship of you, are you going to reject me?" Xue Mier grabbed Hu Xiao’s arm and said coquettishly.
Hu Xiao could not stand people acting coquettishly, so she agreed. After hearing what was said, Soong Xuan brought two cups of wine to the two of them, and when she walked past Yin Fufeng, she noticed that something was amiss.
There seemed to be something wrong with the wine, something about the taste!
Coincidentally, Hu Xiao and Xue Mier had received the wine cup at the same time. Just as Hu Xiao was about to raise her head to drink, he knocked out the wine cup, "Wait, there’s something wrong with the wine."
Hearing that, Hu Xiao was startled, seeing the shattered wine cup on the floor, she was extremely surprised.
He had been drinking well just now, so why was there a problem now?
In contrast, when Xue Mier heard this, her eyes darkened. She lowered her head and did not explain.
Seeing that, Hu Xiao realized that there was a problem, Yin Fufeng unreasonably said that there was a problem with the wine, then, there must be a problem with the wine, if not Yin Fufeng would not be so excited.
"Yin Fufeng, what’s going on?" How did he find anything wrong with the alcohol, she felt that there was nothing wrong with the smell, the alcohol was just poured out of the wine jar, Soong Xuan couldn’t possibly drugged her right?
From the start, Hu Xiao had targeted the targets that she did not suspect at all. On this matter, she had 100% confidence in Xue Mier.
Not only did Xue Mier not stake her life, she didn’t feel that this was a bad thing, she was actually relieved, thinking that she was worthy of the Wen Family. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
She had already said this a long time ago, that no matter if she succeeded or not, she would no longer help Wen Family this time around.
"Minister Wen, I have done what I needed to do, I have not let you down, I have not let the entire clan down, my mission is completed, I hope you will keep your promise, and do not make me do such a thing again." Xue Mier silently said in her heart. In the future, she would no longer have to be held responsible for her own cultivation, and she would be responsible for him according to what she thought.
Yin Fufeng did not reply to Hu Xiao. Instead, he looked at Xue Mier, poured himself another cup of water, passed it over to Xue Mier, and said with a cold voice: "Imperial Consort Xue, drink this."
The reason why he was doing this, was obvious to everyone. The problem lay with Xue Mier, whether she dared to drink it or not, and it concerned whether or not she had poisoned him. If Xue Mier didn’t think wrongly, she would definitely dare to drink it.
"Why would you want to make me drink? If Hu Xiao wants to drink, then say that there’s a problem with the wine, and I won’t have a problem drinking it?" Xue Mier said indifferently. Obviously, she refused to drink.
It was her who poisoned him, so she didn’t dare to drink it. It wasn’t like she wanted to die.
"Did you poison the wine?" Yin Fufeng squinted his eyes and said indifferently.
"What, you saw me poison him? You think I’m the one who poisoned him without any proof? Aren’t you being too arbitrary?" Xue Mier sneered, right now, she was trying to think of a way not to drink the wine that Yin Fufeng passed to her.
"Only you and Soong Xuan have touched this jar of wine, I watched Soong Xuan pour the wine out, she didn’t even have time to poison it, but you are different. You just went for a long time, and when you returned, you were very pale, you must have done something that caused your heart to become uneasy."
Yin Fufeng passed the wine cup forward, and continued, "I noticed that something is wrong with you just now, tell me now, do you want to drink it?"
"I don’t drink." Xue Mier powerfully said. She rejected him again, so what if they found out, she just didn’t want to drink it.
"Alright, not drinking means you have a guilty conscience." Yin Fufeng laughed coldly, following that, he splashed the wine in his cup on the ground, fiercely throwing the teacup on the floor.
