Chapter 216 The General Draws His Bow at Night 8.17



Once is never enough. Ever since their friendly yet tense conversation last time, Jun Jiuxian seems to have taken some kind of madness and has been determined to sneak into Lu Qingyan's palace.

Lu Qingyan: No, I just want to develop some side quests, please stop bothering me.

Jun Jiuxian was quite well-behaved, and came here to tell Lu Qingyan a lot of things, such as the betrayal of those around her.

In fact, Lu Qingyan already knew, but perhaps because of her own feelings, hearing Jun Jiuxian say it warmed her heart.

Huixiang and Huibai were both maids who served her before she became a nun. They should have been the two people she trusted the most, but who could have imagined that one of them would betray her?

The one who betrayed her master was Huibai. If it weren't for her tip-off, the original owner and the Lu family would have met such a tragic end. Although she was the original owner's personal maid, she was ultimately an ungrateful wretch.

Ambitious and unwilling to be subservient to others for the rest of her life, she was instigated by Zongzheng Shen and decisively chose to betray the Lu family that had raised her for more than 20 years. She became a spy placed by Zongzheng Shen next to the original owner of the body, reporting the original owner's every move to him, and ultimately causing the original owner and the entire Lu family to be executed.

Unfortunately, her ambitions were sky-high, but her fate was as fragile as paper. After retiring from her post as a meritorious official, she not only failed to obtain the wealth, honor, and noble status she desired, but also failed to marry a suitable husband. Instead, she was murdered by Zongzheng Shen to silence her, and after her death, she was thrown into a mass grave, meeting a tragic end with no complete corpse.

Lu Qingyan naturally wouldn't sympathize with her; it was entirely her own fault. Having high aspirations is good, but one must be in a position commensurate with those aspirations to have the right to do so, and Hui Bai didn't have that right.

Knowing it was her, Lu Qingyan had already stopped letting her serve her personally. Now that Jun Jiuxian had sent her a message, it seemed she had no choice but to get rid of her.

Entering the palace, she casually sat down, picked up the freshly brewed flower tea, took a sip, and praised with a smile, "Fennel is becoming more and more to my liking."

Huicao stood to one side, jumping around playfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what about me?"

Lu Qingyan chuckled: "Huicao is clever and cute, I like her too."

Huiqing rolled her eyes and silently set out lunch. After Lu Qingyan finished her lunch, she casually put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "I've eaten a bit too much. Let's go for a walk."

Huiqing quickly cleared the table.

As soon as Lu Qingyan finished speaking, Huibai said, "Your Majesty, that..."

Lu Qingyan interrupted her directly: "Huixiang, just accompany me for a walk. Huibai, you stay here to manage some affairs in the palace. Your abilities are much better than others, so I feel more at ease leaving it to you. Come and find me again when all this mess in the palace is sorted out."

"Your Majesty~" Huibai stamped her foot, her eyes red, and said, "Your Majesty, you used to take me with you wherever you went. How can you abandon me now?"

The little devil in Lu Qingyan's mind took two steps back: "Stay away from me, stay away from me! I don't like you at all, I'm not a heartless person!"

In fact, Lu Qingyan glanced at Huibai sadly, turned away, and said with extreme disappointment, "Huibai, I really misjudged you! I thought you were genuinely thinking of me as your master, but I didn't expect you to only care about having fun! Sigh, I've spoiled you too much. You should think about it and calm down."
