Shuangshuang instantly shut her mouth, staring at An Xuetang with an innocent expression. It was unclear where her innocence lay.
An Xuetang was not deceived by her appearance at all, instead, the look in her eyes grew colder.
Ninger, Shouer, and Kang’er looked at each other, all secretly admiring Shuangshuang’s audacity with a thumbs-up.
How can she still act so clueless and naive at this point?
If it weren’t for her uncertain identity, the few of them would definitely give her a good dressing-down.
At this point, Shuai Shuai probably knew that no matter what she said, An Xuetang wouldn’t believe her anymore, nor would she show her any mercy. So she hesitated for a moment, glanced at An Xuetang, and finally bowed her head.
But An Xue Tang was not about to let her off so easily. Her eyes fixed on her, she continued, “When did you meet Ming Deng? Is he your master?”
Shuangshuang pursed her lips and lowered her head, not responding a word.
Seeing her prepare to play dead, Shou’er frowned extremely displeasedly. “You were quite talkative just a moment ago, weren’t you? How come after such a short time, you’ve become mute?”
Even though she heard Shour’s sarcastic remarks, Shuai continued to keep her head bowed, not giving any response at all.
She looked at her own princess, wanting her to agree to let her take action against someone like Shuangshuang.
Such a person doesn’t know how to cherish the blessings she has, and she doesn’t realize how truly happy she is now.
Those who betrayed them, when will they have the chance to stand here as peacefully and unharmed as she?
If we don’t give her a taste of her own medicine, she really won’t know her place.
However, the queen still shook her head and refused.
Shour only felt it was a pity, truly she had gotten off cheap.
An Xuetang looked at Shuangshuang, “Ming Deng has personally said that you are his person. You have been in the palace for some time, so you should know what our palace does to betrayers.”
“But considering you are still young, if you are willing to speak up proactively, I will consider your punishment carefully.”
Shuangshuang, it was unclear if she had come to an understanding or not, slowly raised her head and looked at An Xuetang with a complicated gaze.
Everyone present assumed that with this look in her eye, she had made up her mind and thought she would speak next.
None of them expected this. Both of them stared at An Xue Tang in silence for a moment, then with a thud, both knelt down on their knees and continued to bow their heads without a word.
“….”
This action was like a bucket of oil, completely igniting the fire in Shou’er and the others’ hearts.
An Xuetang’s face also sank, it seemed that Shuangshuang was determined not to say a word.
<Shou'er now rolled up her sleeves and said angrily, “Your Highness, look at her like this. Why don't you just hand her over to me? Since she's being so polite and asking her nicely doesn't work, I have plenty of ways to get her to talk.”
“Well, take it.”
An Xuetang didn’t want to use extreme measures against her, but she wasn’t a good-tempered person either. Even after asking so politely, the other party showed no sincerity. Then there was no need for her to be kind.
Actually, Shour was just trying it out. She thought their princess wouldn’t agree, but she didn’t expect that their princess would actually agree.
She instantly became excited, quickly replied “yes”, and rushed over to lift Shuangshuang like a chick, hurrying to turn around and leave before they had time to reconsider.
“Double Double.”
“……Shour’s foot hadn’t even left the threshold when their empress’s voice rang out. She stopped short, and her excited heart instantly turned cold.”
No way, no how, they’re going to regret this as the queen?
Although she was reluctant to let go of Shuangshuang like this, she couldn’t disobey the Queen’s words. In the end, she still turned back and looked at the Queen.
Shuangshuang also thought she had escaped, but next An Xuetang simply said to her, “Shuangshuang, Ming Deng not only admits that you are his planted spy, your identity is even more the princess of Bei Jiang Wang. Do you know this?”
“!”
Shuangshuang’s eyes widened in disbelief at that instant, her lips moving slightly, “I…”
She clearly didn’t believe his words, but no one knew what she wanted to say. She simply closed her mouth again, her complex eyes fixed on An Xuetang.
The doubt in her eyes was seen by An Xuetang, but she chose not to explain or convince anyone who didn’t believe her. There was nothing anyone could do about it.
An Xue Tang didn’t want to be upset by her anymore, so she waved her hand at Shou’er, signaling her to take Shuangshuang away.
Shou’er’s mood was like riding a rollercoaster. Now that she knew their princess didn’t regret her decision, she became excited again and hurriedly left with Shuangshuang in tow.
An Xuetang watched the two figures disappear, then turned to Yun Si, “From today onwards, do not allow her to leave the room half a step, and assign more people to watch her.”
“Yes.”
……
After dragging her double by double, Shou’er directly took her to the basement of the Prince’s Mansion.
She thought the eerie place might frighten Shuangshuang, but after tying her to a chair, she realized that Shuangshuang’s expression was calm and collected, without any sign of panic.
Her acting skills are indeed good. Now that she is not beside the princess, she no longer chooses to conceal herself.
Shou’er took a step back, her eyes narrowed slightly as she looked her up and down.
I have to say, she seems like she’s never seen such a thing before. She seemed innocent and harmless before, but right now, she just seems full of guile.
And she even dared to look at him now, with not a trace of fear in her eyes. She looked more composed than he did.
Shou’er sneered, “Giving up the pretense?”
Shuangshuang remained impassive, nonchalantly saying, “Sister Shou’er, you needn’t talk so much. Just do whatever you want to me. I won’t fight back and I don’t have the ability to fight back.”
“……” Let me know if you have any other text you’d like me to translate!
She’s really not worried at all that I’d actually hurt her!
Shour only felt a fire burning inside her, rising uncontrollably. She had lived for so many years, and there were very few people who could make her feel this angry.
The former one was Fu’er. Ever since Fu’er betrayed Xuntang Valley and killed so many brothers who grew up together, she felt like killing Fu’er with her own hands whenever she thought about her.
Not only her, but also Ning’er, Kang’er, and every brother in Xuntang Valley had the same idea, hoping that Fuoer would pay the price.
…because Fu’er said that the child in her womb was their clan leader’s, and she could even use the child to awaken their clan leader, they could only bear it for now. No matter how much they wanted to harm her, they had to hold back for now. …
At this moment, the person she wished she could personally eliminate was right in front of her: Shuangshuang. She relied on her status and the fact that the princess would surely not be able to handle things privately before King Beijang returned home.
So this blatant provocation towards them is truly despicable.
