In Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered a hint of bloodthirsty gaze, sending shivers down one’s spine.
Feng Xiyun’s heart trembled, not daring to utter a sound.
At the sa ti.
The trusted aide had already brought in all the guards who stood at the gate yesterday.
Upon hearing they were to see the Emperor, each was filled with trepidation, not knowing when!
Just as they stepped into the tent.
The guard who had driven An Ning away yesterday imdiately recognized her, seeing her in the Emperor’s tent, clearly agitated, "How dare you barge into the Emperor’s tent..."
Before the words were finished.
The leader of the guard imdiately pressed the guard’s head down, threatening in a low voice, "Don’t be insolent in front of the Emperor, shut your mouth!"
The guard was terrified, not daring to speak.
Xiao Jinxing looked coldly at the guard.
The guard felt an intimidating gaze and his body trembled slightly.
"Was it you who stopped her at the gate yesterday, preventing her from entering the camp?" Xiao Jinxing asked coldly.
"Yes, it’s ." The guard stamred, "Yesterday, she tried to force her way into the camp with a fake token, and I stopped her outside. I had no idea how she managed to sneak in today and disturb the Emperor. I deserve a thousand deaths for my cri!"
"Indeed, you deserve a thousand deaths!" Xiao Jinxing’s face turned dark.
The murderous intent in his eyes was obvious.
"To dare stop even the Empress, how audacious! Soone, drag him out and execute him imdiately!" Xiao Jinxing commanded loudly.
The guard was so frightened his body went limp.
The person before him was actually... the Empress!
Why had the Empress co to the camp?
And wasn’t it said that the Empress wasn’t even in the Imperial Palace?!
The guard looked at An Ning in disbelief, his face pale, utterly unresponsive for a long ti. He still couldn’t believe that the person he had so casually stopped was indeed the current Empress.
His body kept trembling, shivering uncontrollably.
An Ning looked indifferently at the shivering guard before her, her ears echoing with Xiao Jinxing’s recent command.
He still called her "Empress."
Hadn’t he clearly said she couldn’t care less?!
An Ning’s heart tightened.
The personal matters between her and Xiao Jinxing would be addressed after dealing with those who needed dealing!
The trusted aide stepped forward and dragged the guard away.
The guard was scared out of his wits, not even pleading, as he was about to be dragged away.
Feng Xiyun was also extrely tense at this mont.
She feared the guard would implicate her, and even though she had thought of ways to protect herself, she would prefer this matter to remain simpler.
Just as Feng Xiyun’s heart slightly settled.
"Wait." An Ning suddenly spoke.
Feng Xiyun’s heart jumped back up abruptly.
She couldn’t help but glance at An Ning, not daring to speak.
The trusted aide stopped, looking back at the Emperor.
The Emperor slightly nodded.
The trusted aide hurriedly brought the guard back to kneel before An Ning.
"A re guard shouldn’t have the authority to easily expel soone carrying a military token." An Ning stated bluntly.
Xiao Jinxing agreed.
Feng Xiyun’s heart raced, her face turning pale.
"So, who exactly instructed you to do this? Your superior?" An Ning’s eyes shifted to the leader of the guards.
The leader, upon hearing this, turned pale with fright.
He knelt on the ground and quickly answered, "Your Highness, I have not received any ssage that soone with a token was to enter the camp, nor have I issued any orders to stop Your Highness. Please see the truth!"
After speaking, he kowtowed heavily, expressing his sincerity!
An Ning glanced at the leader and then turned her eyes to the guard. "Who instructed you?!"
An Ning’s voice was cold with an imposing aura.
The guard was terrified, his entire body trembling, his face turning blue.
He stamred, "Yesterday, I truly did not recognize it was the Empress. I deserve a thousand deaths!"
The guard kowtowed fiercely.
An Ning frowned but didn’t stop him.
After kowtowing, the guard fearfully answered again, "Yesterday, I stopped the Empress because Doctor Feng said no strangers were allowed into the camp, so I drove the Empress away..."
"When did I ever say that?!" Feng Xiyun, who had been kneeling, couldn’t help but interject.
She knew it.
She would be betrayed.
An Ning was indeed clever.
She had imdiately guessed that the guard was acting under soone’s orders.
"You said it!" The guard turned to look at Feng Xiyun, insisting, "You even confiscated the Empress’s token!"
