Under her pressure, Mu Qian Xue slowly opened his eyes. Xu Huifei secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said to the palace maid by his side.

Just as she was about to leave, her clothes were grabbed by someone. The one holding onto her was none other than Mu Qian Xue.

Xu Huifei's expression changed and she quickly said, "Empress, even though you're awake, let the imperial physician see if it's better."

The latter forced out a smile, "How could there be such a thing, the Empress must have heard wrongly. The Nanzhao is not only the Empress's home country, she is also our West Chu's strongest ally, why would the Your Majesty destroy the Nanzhao for no reason." After saying that, she said to Xia Yue, who was also filled with suspicion, "Hurry and help Empress return to the Yongde Palace!"

Mu Qian Xue's gaze slowly swept across Xu Huifei's face. In the next moment, two drops of tears quietly fell from her eyes. I didn't mishear you! "

"No, Empress, you …." Without waiting for Xu Huifei to finish speaking, Mu Qian Xue, whose tears had yet to dry, stood up with much difficulty with Xia Yue's support. She gritted her teeth and said, "Go to Myriad Temple!"

Hearing this, Xu Huifei hurriedly stopped her, "Chenqie has already said this earlier. Your Majesty did not destroy Nanzhao, so it's best for Empress to go back and rest first."

Mu Qian Xue painfully shut his eyes, "Since things have come to this point, does Huifei still want to lie to me? Since you have managed to hide it from me today, then what about tomorrow, will you be able to hide it from me for the rest of your life?"

Xu Huifei was at a loss for words from her question. That's right, I can hide it for a while, but I can't hide it for a lifetime.

She let out a long sigh and said, "Since that's the case, chenqie will accompany you." She knew that this was no small matter and could not stop it. She could only go with him and argue with him, which would be good for her to persuade him otherwise. Furthermore, she also wanted to know why Xiao Ruo Ao wanted to do this.

After Xiao Ruo Ao became the emperor, he had specially ordered that Mu Qian Xue could enter and exit the Imperial Palace at any time and anywhere, including his own Myriad Temple, to show his love and respect for this empress. As a result, Mu Qian Xue's group saw Xiao Ruo Ao, who had just returned from an expedition, and the Imperial Concubine Cao, who had arrived in Myriad Temple a step ahead of them.

"Greetings, Queen Empress." Cao was the granddaughter of the prime minister. In the second year after Mu Qian Xue's grand marriage, she had married the prince, Xiao Ruo Ao, as her concubine. She was gentle and virtuous, beautiful and moving, without a trace of arrogance or arrogance that could be seen on the ladies of famous sects.

Mu Qian Xue glanced at Xiao Ruo Ao who was still clad in armor and said coldly: "I have something to discuss with Your Majesty, you can leave first!"

If it was in the past, Cao would definitely listen to her words. But this time, she didn't have the intention of leaving, and instead extended her slender index finger, pointing at her charming lips with a smile that was not a smile, "Chenqie guess … The important thing that Empress is talking about, is that the Nanzhao was destroyed? "

Mu Qian Xue suddenly turned his head, stared at her and said, "You know it too."

"Of course." "To be precise, before Your Majesty left for the war, chenqie already knew that Nanzhao was going to perish. Only Empress was ignorant enough to not know."

Ling Mu Qian Xue's pupils shrank upon hearing her words, and the Xu Huifei beside her said anxiously: "Impossible, Your Majesty's guards only found out after leaving the city, how did you know?"

Cao gave a disdainful smile as she turned around and walked up the stairs. The gold-plated lotus flowers swayed in her hair as she walked, and the beads would occasionally collide with each other with a crisp sound.

She walked all the way to Xiao Ruo Ao, who had yet to speak, and spoke in a tender voice, "Your Majesty, it's time to tell the empress."

Xiao Ruo Ao nodded, he stood up and looked down at Mu Qian Xue, "This time, what we are fighting is not the Yanzhou, but the Nanzhao."

Even though he already knew about it, but after hearing Xiao Ruo Ao admit it with his own ears, Mu Qian Xue's vision turned black. She took a few steps back and pressed her hand against the icy-cold red pillar, and when Xia Yue wanted to help her, she was pushed away. After trying hard to take a few breaths, she hissed: "Why did you do that?"

"Why?" Xiao Ruo Ao squinted his eyes slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his handsome face. "Do you even need to ask that? Of course it's to expand the territory of my West Chu, to increase …"

"I'm not asking you that!" Mu Qian Xue cut him off and shouted with a shrill voice: "I'm asking you why did you want to destroy Nanzhao, that is my homeland. Where are the parents that gave birth to me and the brothers that are related to me?

With the clanking of armor, Xiao Ruo Ao arrived in front of Mu Qian Xue and said with an exceptionally calm expression: "We will naturally remember, but this is not enough for us to spare their lives!"

"You!" Mu Qian Xue didn't expect him to be so unrepentant after killing so many people in her homeland. She was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while.

Xu Huifei probed: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you are going to annihilate the Yanzhou? Why did you suddenly change your mind after leaving the city?"

Cao slowly walked over and laughed tenderly: "You're wrong, Your Majesty has never changed his mind. From start to finish, Your Majesty has always been wanting to destroy Nanzhao. It's just a cover. "

"Despicable!" Mu Qian Xue was furious, she wanted to slap him, but Xiao Ruo Ao grabbed her wrist, causing her to be unable to move, she struggled, "Let go! Let me go! "

Xiao Ruo Ao stared at her expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Do you hate me?" Before his voice fell, Mu Qian Xue had already spat on his face, and gnashed his teeth as he said: "I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood!"
