surprised by her transformation. Such a woman truly opened his eyes. At this moment, he was not so angry anymore, but his probing gaze fell on An Xuetang, and he gradually regained his composure. Whe...Hong'er wasn't joking when she said that. She didn't have any hope for men in this life and didn't need them at all.

Over the years she spent with the flower, she had seen many men's true faces, encountered countless revolting men. Therefore, she was afraid of men, terrified of them, repulsed by them!

Let her find a man to marry, she would rather die or become a nun in a convent, away from the world!

What she hated most in her life was men, those violent men, those terrifying men!

Although I have personally witnessed the North King's love for his North Queen in the Northern Border Camp these days.

During this time, she also realized that perhaps there were truly good men in the world, men who were very good and loving to their wives, just like King Beijiang.

But she felt she lacked the beauty and unparalleled abilities of the Northern Xinjiang Princess.

So she would never expect to meet a man like the King of Beijiang in her lifetime.

She didn't even dare to hope she could find a man who would cherish, love, and pamper her.

In Hong'er's view, she was highly likely to encounter a man who only drank, gambled, and beat his wife and children, just like the previous emperor of Lan Guo.

If she were to meet such a man, she would rather spend her life alone. If her young mistress didn't mind her, she would want to spend her life by her side.

Because in her lifetime, she had never met anyone who treated her better than her mistress.

Seeing Hong'er had already shed two lines of tears, Huaduo sighed helplessly, reaching out with her sleeve to wipe them away. She spoke softly:

“You’re still young, you haven’t truly experienced this kind of love yet, so don’t be so absolute. I promise you, as long as you haven’t found your own happiness, I will never leave you, but you also need to have your own ideas about life. If you meet someone you like and want to leave with him, I’ll support you. Just don’t feel any pressure.”

Huāduǒ knew that after entering the capital of Tiān Bǎ guó this time, she would definitely face many dangers. Hóng'er following her by her side was indeed not suitable. She really wanted to find a good place for Hóng'er, but unfortunately, Hóng'er refused to go anywhere else.

Hong'er pursed her lips, now looking somewhat wronged as she mumbled, "This servant absolutely will not marry. This servant only wants to stay by the young mistress's side for life."

The little flower smiled and reached out to ruffle her head, "Silly."

Thinking of Yunliu and Ninger, Huaduo'er spoke again, “Ninger and Yunliu are fine. Hong'er, please don't talk nonsense in front of Ninger.”

Hong'er blinked. "What are you saying"

"Don't bring up Ning'er and Yunliu's feelings. Let them naturally interact with each other. They haven't realized these emotions yet, so mentioning it would make them uncomfortable. Pretend you don't know anything and let them get along."

Hong'er listened, seeming to understand but not fully. "Understood, slave girl. But Miss, where are the King of Beijang and the Princess Consort going"

"The King of the Northern Border hadn't seen his Queen for a long time. This time, he must have taken her somewhere to spend time alone. After all, since they entered the capital, with their status, they would face countless troublesome matters and people."

Hong'er nodded slightly, "Oh, Miss, you said that the King of Beijang pampers his wife so much. He and the Crown Prince are brothers of the same father and mother, wouldn't the Crown Prince also be like him and pamper his wife"

Huāduǒr's eyes darkened when Hóng'ěr suddenly mentioned Mòyún Chén. She didn't say anything for a moment.

Hong'er didn't notice Huā Duǒr's eyes, and at this moment, she spoke with a hint of longing:

"Miss, if the Prince were to treat his wife like the King of Beijang does, wouldn't Miss be very happy with him"

Hua Duo'er heard Hong'er say this, instantly her face darkened. She softly rebuked, "Hong'er, you mustn't speak recklessly like this. Don't let others hear, if they misunderstand it would be bad."

Hong'er puckered her lips. "Miss, you've had your heart set on that prince for so long, and now you've come to the capital because of him. Why not just be with him Let others talk if they want; what does it matter"

"Hong'er!"

Huāduǒ coldly reprimanded, fearing that Hóng'er would speak recklessly. If someone with ill intentions spread this to Mòyún Chén's ears, how would he think of her

Choosing to enter the capital of Tianba Country and choosing to enter the palace of Tianba Country was her own willingness to help Mo Yunchen.

She chose to do this seemingly meaningful thing because without it, she couldn't find meaning in living.

Doing this was her own redemption, she didn't need Mo Yunchen to know, nor did she need any compensation from him.

So she only hoped that her going to the capital wouldn't be known by Mo Yunchen.

Hong'er was suddenly scolded by her, frightened into silence. She pursed her lips, looking somewhat wronged.

If it were any other time, Huā Duǒ might have softened her voice and reasoned with her. But this was a serious matter. Huā Duǒ's expression was very serious now, and she gave her some very serious advice:

"Hong'er, you mustn't tell anyone about my going to the palace. Nor should anyone from King Bei Jiang mention it. Remember this: our trip to the capital was my own decision and has nothing to do with anyone else. Don't even think about asking anyone for repayment."

Hong'er's eyes were red. "But Miss, you went through so much trouble to get out of the royal palace in Lan Guo. Now you're going back into Tian Ba Guo's palace for the prince, and you won't even let him know about your sacrifices Isn't that too unfair to you The palace is a dreadful place, you know."

"I'm not wronged!"

The flower bud's expression darkened, "Hong'er, I've told you many times, I don't feel wronged. You must remember that if I can't even do this, I wouldn't have the courage to live in this world. There would be no point in my living."

"So don't go around telling anyone about this, it's just my choice, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. I don't need anyone to give me anything in return. If you dare to act on your own and do something behind my back, don't blame me for sending you away!"

Hua Duo'er didn't mean a word of that as a joke.

Upon hearing that she was to be sent away, Hong'er quickly cried out, whimpering and vowing, "Miss, I know I was wrong. I will definitely listen to you and won't speak out of turn. Miss, please don't send me away. I don't want to leave you."

Then just stay put and don't think about anything. We'll just do what we're supposed to do.

"Yes, slave girl understands,"

On 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, so no one disturbed them.

The two clung tightly together, and after an unknown amount of time, An Xuetang suddenly spoke in a choked voice, “A Jing, I... seem to be unable to move.”

She was familiar with this pulse; she had once experienced something similar herself.She once had a mission in the 21...
