Seeing this situation, it was false for Soong Xuan to say that she was not angry. Hu Xiao had striven so hard for East Court Kingdom, yet Xue Mier actually wanted to poison her to death. What kind of logic was this!?
"Xue Mier, you are too much. I can’t wait to kill you." Saying that, Soong Xuan took out a sword, and the sword tip quickly slashed towards Xue Mier. Xue Mier knew that she could not dodge it, so she simply closed her eyes.
At the same time, she bit her lips and softly said. "Soong Xuan, this is bullying. This consort is the imperial concubine of the East Court."
Xue Mier revealed her identity, causing Soong Xuan to become flustered and exasperated. The tip of the sword whistled past Xue Mier’s eyelashes, causing her heart to jump, she was almost disfigured.
"So what? If you do this, you will still deserve to die. Let alone being the imperial concubine, even the emperor has to be reasonable." Soong Xuan stabbed her sword into the ground, the anger on her face obvious.
"Soong Xuan, go and check with the doctor to see if there’s anything wrong with the wine. On the other hand, Hu Xiao was extremely calm, and did not lose her temper because of the poison in the alcohol.
After listening, Soong Xuan became anxious, "What else do we need to appraise? Didn’t Prime Minister Yin say that there’s something wrong with the taste of the wine?
Soong Xuan insisted that it was Xue Mier who poisoned the medicine. She pointed at Xue Mier’s nose, showing no respect at all.
Xue Mier kept quiet, she did not dare make a sound, nor did she dare to make any excuses, but for the sake of fairness, Hu Xiao would naturally not let him accuse others wrongly.
"Soong Xuan, stop messing around, go quickly." Hu Xiao urged. Under her urging, Soong Xuan could only leave obediently.
Yin Fufeng sat at the side, looking at Xue Mier with a complicated feeling.
"Xue Mier, what do you have to say for yourself?" While Soong Xuan was still not back yet, Hu Xiao casually asked.
Xue Mier did not speak, and did not even glance at her. She only lowered her head, and looked at the ground beneath his feet.
After a quarter of an hour, Soong Xuan returned in a rage. Before she could even reach Hu Xiao, she shouted: "Empress, there is indeed poison in the wine. This subordinate has specially looked for the cavalry’s doctor to check on.
Now, she would not even call him Imperial Consort Xue, but directly calling him Xue Mier.
Zhi Lan stood at the side. When she heard that Xue Mier was the murderer, she clenched her teeth and rushed in front of Xue Mier to quickly tie up her hands so that she would not escape.
No one knew how many people Xue Mier had brought along, because under these circumstances, it was impossible for Xue Mier to do this alone.
She must have a helper.
"Let go of me, Zhi Lan. You have no right to capture me." Xue Mier struggled a few times, but Zhi Lan’s hands held tightly onto her arm, preventing her from moving.
"Xue Mier, if I do not have the authority, who has the authority to do so? Thieves go out on the streets and everyone is shouting for a beating. The one being hit is you. " Zhi Lan squinted her eyes. Her heart was straightforward, just like Hu Xiao, she would say whatever she wanted to say.
She likened Xue Mier to a thief, which angered Xue Mier to death.
"Hu Xiao, let me go," Xue Mier said as she cast a pleading gaze at Hu Xiao. Didn’t Hu Xiao not drink it?
"Zhi Lan, let her go." Hu Xiao held her hands behind his back, and walked towards Xue Mier step by step. After hearing what she said, a look of disbelief flashed past Zhi Lan’s eyes. Did she hear wrongly?
"Empress, she wants to poison you to death. A woman with such a venomous heart cannot let her go." Zhi Lan said angrily as she clenched Xue Mier’s arm even tighter. Xue Mier’s face changed from the pain.
"Let her go!" Hu Xiao repeated herself, "Zhi Lan, obey."
"Hurry and let me go, Zhi Lan." Xue Mier was in cold sweat from the pain. She was not gentle in the slightest and only felt that her arm was about to break.
Zhi Lan hesitated for a while, but in the end, she was unwilling to let Xue Mier go, "Xue Mier, consider yourself vicious.
Xue Mier swung her arm, ignoring Zhi Lan’s words, she turned to Hu Xiao and waited for her question.
"Xue Mier, why?" Hu Xiao asked in pain. Just now, Xue Mier had said that she was grateful to him in front of everyone, making her happy for nothing. She thought that Xue Mier had changed.
However, she did not, what Xue Mier had just said was just an illusion to confuse him.
Now, Hu Xiao finally understood why Xue Mier was so passionate today.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and her eyes stared straight at Xue Mier. At this time, Xue Mier had her head lowered, and had no face to reply to Hu Xiao.
"Xue Mier, are you going to say it?" Hu Xiao took a deep breath, "Did you come here with me to get close to me, and then attack me when I wasn’t prepared?"
What she was worried about was that Xue Mier would actually take advantage of her feelings without leaving a trace. After being together with her for so many days, she had long since stopped suspecting Xue Mier’s motives.
Xue Mier shook her head and sighed, she did not know if she should tell him about her Wen Family.
What she was most afraid of was that it would implicate her Wen Family.
"You still love Qin Shuo right? So you want to take advantage of this opportunity to kill me so that you can get along well with the emperor. Am I right?" Hu Xiao immediately asked, Xue Mier had previously said that she did not love the Emperor, and he said those words, was it to deceive him?
Hu Xiao made a big question in her heart. In that moment, she couldn’t figure out what Xue Mier was planning to do.
"Okay, I’ll tell you." Xue Mier sighed heavily. She was already at a loss of what to do, so she might as well tell Hu Xiao everything.
"Hu Xiao, you have done a great deed in the south, my cousin is afraid that his position in the imperial court will be weakened because of you, so he wanted me to poison you, and kill you for it." Xue Mier explained everything simply. She looked into Hu Xiao’s eyes, her eyes filled with sincerity. She wanted to prove to Hu Xiao that she was not lying.
Wen Family! Minister Wen again!
This Minister Wen, why is he always going against me!
Hu Xiao squinted her eyes as her heart was filled with hatred, "Did Minister Wen ask you to come here, and that’s why you came to the south?"
After she finished listening, Xue Mier shook her head and said softly, "No, I wanted to come here on my own. I want to follow by your side and broaden my horizons."
This could be considered a huge improvement.
"Hu Xiao, I’m begging you, let go of your Wen Family." Xue Mier knelt on the ground and sincerely pleaded for Wen Family.
In any case, Wen Family was her family, so she didn’t want anything bad to happen to her Wen Family.
