Bending over slightly, Bai Aoxue saluted and went out.

But Jun Wuhen was shocked because of the voice which was a little familiar.

Looking askance slightly, Jun Wuhen saw a strange face as well as a view of back that was unfamiliar. Looking at her, Jun Wuhen removed his doubts in his heart.

After a while, Bai Aoxue fetched the meal with some people and stood aside, waiting for the order of service.

Luoyan and Jun Wuhen both dined casually while thinking about their own things. They were both somewhat perfunctory. After the meal, Jun Wuhen waved his hand and said, “Take them away. You don’t need to come in anymore.”

Hearing the words of Jun Wuhen, Bai Aoxue narrowed her long and narrow phoenix-like eyes and nodded lightly to Luoyan, taking a group of people out.

At this moment, only Luoyan and Jun Wuhen remained in the resting palace. For a while, the atmosphere around them was so quiet that it even became a bit awkward.

Bai Aoxue, who had gone out, was thinking about a solution while a maidservant who accompanied Luoyan to marry into the Chengxi Dynasty stopped her.

“Qinglan, come with me! I have something to tell you.”

Looking at the arrogant woman before her, Bai Aoxue carefully recalled the woman’s name.

Qingmeng, a woman sent by the emperor of the Mobei Dynasty to monitor Luoyan, was probably not a kind person. Bai Aoxue slightly curled her lips, thinking that she finally managed to find a sucker she wanted in her mind.

It was quite effortless for her to make it!

Following Qingmeng, Bai Aoxue came to a remote garden. Bai Aoxue raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that this maid was not a simple person who could walk around so easily in merely a morning.

Presumably, she had started to survey the terrain of the surroundings early.

“Qinglan, when did you get so close to the princess? Have you forgotten our mission?” Qingmeng asked with some rebuke, scrutinizing Bai Aoxue seriously.

Hearing Qingmeng’s words, Bai Aoxue couldn’t help sneering. It seemed that the emperor of the Mobei Dynasty still had a bigger plan.

“I haven’t forgotten it. I just think that being so close to the princess will help us get the mission done a lot.” Bai Aoxue calmly said without any panic.

When Qingmeng heard Bai Aoxue’s words, there was a little less suspicion in her eyes.

Was she too suspicious? She actually suspected Qinglan of treachery.

“Then tell me what the mission assigned by the emperor is.” Qingmeng folded her hands and asked, watching Bai Aoxue carefully and not missing any expression of her obviously.

Hearing Qingmeng’s question, Bai Aoxue still appeared to be calm, but actually, her mind had gone through innumerable twists and turns.

She didn’t want to expose herself so early because she wanted to find out something useful from Qingmeng’s words by deceiving her verbally.

“Has Sister Qingmeng forgotten it? This mission cannot be easily told.” Bai Aoxue said earnestly, looking up at Qingmeng.

Hearing the words of Bai Aoxue, Qingmeng looked somewhat awkward, probably having perceived her inappropriate behavior. She said, “Since the emperor is not around us now, just tell me what the mission is on earth!”

Hearing Qingmeng’s anxious words, Bai Aoxue slightly curled her lips. Presumably, Qingmeng still had other ideas.

“Then could Sister Qingmeng please tell me first about your task? So, it seems to be fair.” Bai Aoxue said with a faint smile on her face while looking at Qingmeng.

Receiving Bai Aoxue’s expression in the eyes, Qingmeng just felt that the person in front of her was not Qinglan who she was familiar with because she was very clear about what Qinglan was like.

And the person in front of her, even though watching her with a faint smile on her face, still made her feel overwhelmingly stressed. That kind of momentum was not like Qinglan’s character!

The person in front of her was definitely not Qinglan!

Although Qingmeng had made a judgment in her mind, she still did not show her feelings on the face.

“Qinglan, you are kidding. Both of us have our own tasks. I was only joking with you just now, and you shouldn’t take it seriously. You are supposed to act according to your own will. I believe that the emperor will agree.” Qingmeng said softly and looked at Bai Aoxue, smiling with her lips covered.

Hearing the words of Qingmeng, the sparkling light in Bai Aoxue’s long and narrow eyes disappeared in a flash, but she appeared to be relieved in her face and said, “Since it is so, I will leave first. If the princess cannot find me after a while, she will be suspicious.”

Hearing this, Qingmeng nodded and said with a smile, “Then you just go ahead.”

Bai Aoxue no longer lingered. She glanced at Qingmeng lightly and then turned away.

Seeing that Bai Aoxue turned around, at a critical moment, Qingmeng leaped up and attacked Bai Aoxue in a hurry!

While Bai Aoxue, who had already turned around to leave, didn’t seem to notice anything unusual behind her, not looking back at all.

The hidden weapon in Qingmeng’s sleeve no longer hid and was shot out quickly! As it was about to pierce Bai Aoxue’s shoulder, Bai Aoxue made a slight movement with her feet, escaping from the hidden weapon of Qingmeng.

Qingmeng looked at Bai Aoxue inconceivably and shot out the dart again.

But this time, Bai Aoxue did not intend to give her another chance. With just a leap, she shortened the distance between them a lot.

Seeing that, Qingmeng stepped back hurriedly, but Bai Aoxue was in hot pursuit. The daggers in her sleeves were drawn out, with the cold edges cutting through the silent night.

Qingmeng didn’t expect that this person disguised as Qinglan actually had daggers hidden in her hands. Being frightened for a while, she intended to defend, only to realize that the darts in her hands were gone.

Blaming herself for being careless secretly, Qingmeng planned to escape, but Bai Aoxue did not give her a chance.

The handle of her dagger was turned over, and the back of the dagger gave out a strong blow, directly hitting Qingmeng to the ground, who was about to run away.

With a sweep of one leg and the movements of her hands, Qingmeng’s body was out of balance, falling to the ground.

Qingmeng, who fell to the ground, planned to escape again. But Bai Aoxue stepped on her back with one foot, with the dagger only less than an inch away from Qingmeng’s face piercing the ground directly.

“The next time you want to escape, the dagger will not simply pierce the ground. If your flower-like face is ruined, it will be really a pity…”

Bai Aoxue stepped on Qingmeng’s back with one foot and looked down at Qingmeng from a height, playfully saying.

Qingmeng’s body was shocked a bit when she heard the words of Bai Aoxue.

“Who the hell are you? What’s your purpose in approaching the princess?” Qingmeng questioned Bai Aoxue loudly, trying to hold back her panic in her mind forcibly.

She tried to conceal her panic by doing so.

Seeing through Qingmeng’s panic with no difficulty, Bai Aoxue didn’t expose it but said in no hurry, “It doesn’t matter who I am, and you don’t need to know why I am around Luoyan. But if you cooperate with me…”

Qingmeng calmly listened to Bai Aoxue’s words, not expecting that she would stop halfway.

“Humph! Kill or cut as you please! But if you want to get any news from me, it is just a vain hope!” Qingmeng shouted angrily.

Hearing Qingmeng’s words, Bai Aoxue sneered disdainfully and said, “How stupid you are! I have never said that I would get any news from you. But you are so hurried to tell me that you know something… You must be on purpose.”

When Qingmeng heard Bai Aoxue’s words, she changed her expression. Unexpectedly, she had panicked before her enemy took action.

In the past, she was not like this. But why did she act like this today?

Maybe it was because the enemy in front of her was too cunning?

“Humph!” Qingmeng snorted heavily but didn’t say more.

Seeing Qingmeng’s action, Bai Aoxue’s phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly, with a sparkling and cramped light flashing in her pupils.

“I will continue what I didn’t say just now. If you cooperate with me, I will help you get what you want. And I don’t want to know about your so-called mission. As long as you cooperate with me, I’ll give you unexpected benefits.” Bai Aoxue said softly.

Her voice was ethereal with the magic of enchantment in the silent night. And Qingmeng’s mind was actually shaken a bit by its magic at this time.

Although it was only for a moment, Qingmeng still came to her senses instantly.

“How do you know what I want? Do not lure me! Just kill me as you wish!” Qingmeng said coldly, obviously not believing Bai Aoxue.

“Ho… What you want is probably related to your mission. The emperor of the Mobei Dynasty only has so little intelligence… How could I not guess why he sent several maidservants of such beauty to the Chengxi Dynasty?” Bai Aoxue sneered and said, looking at Qingmeng with unpredictable eyes.

She had seen the white jade sculpture at the palace feast that time, and in the memories of Jun Yeyan, she had met Concubine Su. Otherwise, she would not have realized the purpose of the emperor of the Mobei Dynasty.

How could Jun Wuhen not be attracted by those maidservants who had some similarities to Concubine Su?

Each of these three maidservants had something resembling Concubine Su in eyes or in outline. Although they were maidservants, the purpose of the emperor of the Mobei Dynasty was abundantly clear.

Jun Wuhen liked those women who resembled Concubine Su very much. Taking Liu Manyun who appeared in the past for example, she was just a folk-born girl with no power or influence, but Jun Wuhen was fond of her for a long time only because she looked like Concubine Su.

When Qingmeng heard Bai Aoxue’s words, her body trembled a little, and her eyes looked a little flustered.

“You not only want to complete your mission but also have a desire for power and prosperity. You are a little greedy. But I can help you obtain power and prosperity, which requires you to give up your mission. You can choose on your own.” How could Bai Aoxue not notice Qingmeng’s panic in her eyes? She said, striking while the iron was hot.

When Qingmeng heard Bai Aoxue’s words, her heart had experienced innumerable twists and turns.

She was fed up with a life of inferiority. When the emperor of the Mobei Dynasty chose her before, she was really excited. But she did not have the sentiment to serve her country, so when it came to power and prosperity, she was willing to do it even if she had to give up something.

Now the opportunity was just at hand, and how could she not be excited? As long as she really got the favor of Jun Wuhen, she could be sure to let Jun Wuhen fall in love with her little by little at that time. As long as she had Jun Wuhen’s protection, she would not be scared of anyone!

Thinking of that, Qingmeng had already made a decision.

“How can I believe what you said?” Qingmeng said, turning around and fixing her eyes on Bai Aoxue without blinking.

Hearing the words of Qingmeng, Bai Aoxue knew that Qingmeng had made the decision. She curled her lips and said smilingly, “Do not forget that we are in the same boat. If you do not believe me, then who should you believe? You think you still have a way back?”

When Qingmeng heard Bai Aoxue’s words, her body trembled a bit, and her eyes were in a daze.

Seeing this, Bai Aoxue said softly, “Let’s go… I’ll take you to meet Jun Wuhen.”
