n the other side, An Xuetang tightly hugged Mo Yunjing, not wanting to let go at all.Fortunately, there was no one on this road. The group following An Xuetang had also left under Feng Ming's orders,...In the end, Liu Lan still obediently followed Kang'er to the drawing-room and waited for An Xue Tang.

After waiting almost a quarter of an hour, An Xuetang finally arrived.

Although Liu Lan had become a noble consort, An Xue Tang still did not bow to her.

She entered the living room and walked straight to the head of the table, sitting down. She then spoke in a cool tone, "What do you want"

"Atang, you... There are no outsiders here. You and I needn't pretend to be strangers."

An Xuetang gave her a cold glance. "Liu Guifei, you really have a poor memory. I remember I've said this many times: the moment you chose to stay in the palace, by the emperor's side, we were no longer anything to each other. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call us strangers."

Liu Lan pursed her lips, "A Tang, I know you're still angry with your mother for not listening to you, but Mother really didn't know of a better way to protect myself by staying by the Emperor's side. I was also afraid."

Speaking and speaking, Liu Lan’s eyes turned red, her eyes welled up with tears as she continued to explain pitifully, "A Tang, you don't know at all. After entering the capital, Mother was bullied several times by that Liu Yan er and her daughter. You have no idea they tried to take Mother's life many times."

Back then, you hadn't entered the capital yet. Your father was just a son-in-law from the Liu family, he couldn't help your mother at all. Not only could he not help her, but he also watched helplessly as she was bullied. You see, your mother had finally gained the emperor's favor. How could she possibly give it up back then

Listening to Liu Lan's words, An Xuetang still maintained a poker face until Liu Lan fell silent, sitting there 'pitifully' wiping her tears. Only then did An Xuetang look at her and say, "Finished"

“!”

Liu Lan's body stiffened, completely unprepared for An Xue Tang's coldness. Previously, when she was bullied by Wang Shi, Cui Shi and others, An Xue Tang had shown her concern and willingness to help.

Now that she hears people bullying her, how can she be so indifferent

"Thinking about this, Liu Lan frowned, “A Tang, you... what do you mean"

“Concubine Liu, to be frank, your acting only works on the Emperor. It's useless in front of me.”

"You..."

"First, let me speak," An Xue Tang interrupted her coldly. "Do you really think that just because I wasn't in Beijing at the time, I wouldn't know what was going on"

Before you entered the capital, I had already given you enough self-defense items. Wang and Cui and others have a poison I administered inside them. If they want to live, they can only rely on the antidote in your hands.

After entering the capital, you used this to your advantage, getting Wang and Cui on your side. The three of you together made trouble for Liu Yan'er and her daughter. It is true that Liu Yan'er was cunning and domineering, but whenever she tried to bully you, Wang and Cui would appear and take Liu Yan'er's wrath for you.

You even had Wang, as your mother-in-law, constantly bother Liu Yan'er, making her life difficult. And when Liu Yan'er couldn't help but come to you for help, you and my father, Annan Lin, were in his study together, cozying up.

All of this, could it be what you call being bullied

"Excuse me, I really don't understand what you mean by 'bullying' Empress Liu. "

At this moment, Liu Lan stared blankly at An Xue Tang. She thought that all the things she had done and the schemes she had played would remain unknown to others, but now that An Xue Tang had openly exposed them, she was speechless and didn't know how to react.

An Xue Tang didn't want to waste too much time and energy on her either. She had occupied the original owner's body, but she had helped Liu Lan time and time again, and it was already paid back.

So, even if Liu Lan threatened her with death now, she wouldn't budge one bit.

While Liu Lan was lost in thought, An Xue Tang's icy voice continued, "As for other nonsense, you don't need to say it to me. You came to me, what exactly is the matter"

Liu Lan came to her senses, her hands clenching slightly. "You...you really want to be so heartless"

"Heh."

An Xuetang sneered and continued, "Between you and me, what face is there left to speak of Cut the crap and just say your purpose. What are you looking for from me If you don't get to the point, I'm going to leave. As you saw last night, even the emperor I could send away, your position as a noble consort holds absolutely no power over me."

"An Xuetang, don't go too far!"

Liu Lan was also angered by An Xue Tang's attitude and tone at this time. She, who never got angry, couldn't help but yell. Her angry eyes stared at An Xue Tang.

But Ning'er stood right beside An Xue Tang. Seeing someone dare to threaten An Xue Tang, a murderous aura instantly emanated from her body. She then rushed towards Liu Lan without hesitation, grabbed her neck with one hand, and uttered two words in a chilling tone, "Apologize."

In Ninger's eyes, no one could be so rude to An Xuetang, not even if the person in front of her was nominally a Noble Consort.

Liu Lan was caught off guard and had her neck grasped by Ning'er. She struggled immediately, batting at Ning'er's hands with both of hers, trying to make a sound to get her to let go. However, Ning'er was holding on too tightly, and Liu Lan couldn't utter a word.u mean by that, Ajing"Upon hearing Mo Yunjing's words, An Xuetang was as if struck dumb. She widened her eyes and stared at him blankly. Although she might have caught his meaning, she dared not confi...
