Dong Huiying gazed at the Great Commander, yet her mind couldn’t help but drift to Prince ng.
The Great Commander and Prince ng were of the sa ilk; they were only loyal to those they chose to be loyal to, and within their hearts lay a forbidden territory.
For instance, within Prince ng’s forbidden territory lay his deceased sister, the Fifth Imperial Princess, and Lao Jiu, Ji Jiuhuang. anwhile, in the Great Commander’s heart, Her Majesty the Empress reigned supre, with all actions premised on loyalty to Her Majesty’s will.
They never easily trusted anyone, just as Dong Huiying had been heavily guarded by Prince ng back in the Capital.
Therefore, she spoke directly, "I know you don’t trust , but I hope you understand one thing. I’m eager to resolve all this, because if the Eighth Princess finds out about my existence, she will surely take action against ! Firstly, because I’m a mber of the Ninth Princess’s faction; I once served the Ninth Princess and was practically her right-hand. Secondly, because of Xiao Qinghe."
"rely due to the fact that I worked for the Ninth Princess, if the Eighth Princess discovers I’m still alive, she will undoubtedly seek to eliminate at the root. Her regard for Xiao Qinghe also guarantees that, even without the connection to the Ninth Princess, she absolutely won’t tolerate my existence. Hence, we are not enemies."
"I was the one who broke the curse on the Ninth Princess, and she is recovering well, no longer insane."
"I can also break Your Majesty’s curse, but first, you must trust and allow to see Her Majesty."
"Additionally, I must clarify one thing: I deeply adore my n! As things stand, Xiao Qinghe is rely a stranger to , and may even count as an enemy. I value my husbands, and will have only these six n in my life."
"As for anything else, no matter how good, it won’t interest ."
"I’ve said my piece, consider it well."
She laid everything bare, but how the Great Commander would choose was beyond her consideration now.
She didn’t know the whereabouts of Her Majesty. Even if her desire to save was genuine, it’s impossible to cook a al without rice.
Unable to see her, not knowing her whereabouts, rescuing was out of the question.
Dong Huiying’s words stirred waves within the Great Commander’s heart. However, she was habitually suspicious, not because she lacked decisiveness, but because she, like Prince ng Shuyu, was overly cautious and couldn’t bear the risk of acting on impulse and facing catastrophic ruin.
Can Dong Huiying truly be trusted?
Is she really reliable?
The Great Commander furrowed her brows tightly, maintaining a conservative stance. As Dong Huiying left, a servant was about to lock the door, but Dong Huiying waved her hand, "No need, and open the adjacent rooms as well. These are guests, and locking guests in their rooms is no way to treat them."
The servant’s lips twitched, thinking to themselves that, white or black, it was all Lady Dong’s decision. Who was it that ordered us to lock them up in the first place?
But since Dong Huiying had spoken, the servant naturally had to comply, and the sound of chains being unlocked echoed through the air.
Dong Huiying pondered for a mont and then took a small dicine bottle out from her bosom.
"Hand out these pills, one to each person. Also inform our esteed guests that I do not wish to be their enemy; our positions are inherently aligned, and we should avoid mutual slaughter. I hope they can show so restraint to prevent any embarrassnt!"
