you, knowing all along what Sanjie has been meeting with, yet coming to me now and asking me to let her in. Xiaorou, do you want glory and wealth, or do you want the lives of millions of people in Li...Although he really didn't want Xiao Li to find Xi'er, if there was something more important right now, Xi'er had to recover her memory as soon as possible. If he could learn about Xi'er's identity from Xiao Li, it might be a good thing for him.

Xiao Li was questioned by Huangfu Qingyun, and she panicked for a moment. She didn't want to deny it, but she was afraid that once she said it, Huangfu Qingyun would drive her away, and she wouldn't be able to stay with the princess. She had finally found the princess, and she couldn't just leave like this.

You don't need to tell me, Your Highness. I already know that Xier is the person you are looking for, the one you call your Queen.

"Your Highness."

Xiao Li panicked, had Huangfu Qingyun already found them

"I truly didn't mean to hide this from you. I simply cannot be recognized by the Princess."

Gritting her teeth, Xiao Li admitted it. Anyway, she was going to die, so she might as well take this chance to get some clarity. Perhaps she could still fight for the King's chances.

"She really is the princess you were talking about"

Xiao Li nodded, looking into Huangfu Qingyun's eyes. Xiao Li took a deep breath and met Huangfu Qingyun's gaze directly, "Now that His Royal Highness knows my identity, does he intend to drive me away from the princess' side"

Huangfu Qingyun looked at the question in Xiaoli's eyes. He really wanted to drive her away, but he couldn't.

He had thought about Xi'er's identity, but he had never considered that Xi'er was already married, and even more so, a princess.

"Do you know that Xier is now the Crown Princess of this palace"

"Crown Princess"

Xiao Li looked at Huangfu Qingyun's seriousness in his eyes and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the princess is already married, and she is very much in love with her husband..."

"She doesn't remember the prince you mentioned at all now, Xiaoli. You are now a slave bought by this palace to serve Xi'er. You should know who you belong to."

Huangpu Qingyun coldly reminded, Xiao Li said calmly, "Even if Your Highness kills me today, I will still say that the Crown Princess's character is not as Your Highness sees her now. If she recovers her memory and knows about Your Highness like this, even if you marry her as your Crown Princess, she will leave you."

Could it be that the position of the Crown Princess is not as good as her previous title as a Queen

Looking at Xiaoli's current tone of speech, Huangfu Qingyun was curious. What kind of woman was Xi'er in the past Why were all the maids around her like this

"Don't say that the position of Crown Princess is beneath her, even if you gave her the position of Queen, she wouldn't care."

Huangpu Qingyun stared at Xiao Li's determined eyes, his handsome face darkened slightly, "Xiao Li, do you know that the attitude you just spoke with, this Palace could kill you dozens of times."

"This servant only speaks the truth. If His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, wants to kill or dismember me, this servant fears nothing."

Huangfu Qingyun glanced at her, his voice heavy, “If I killed you today and kept it from Xi'er, letting her stay by my side for life, would you be afraid”

“This lowly servant’s life is dedicated to the Princess. Living is for her sake, and now knowing she's well, if Your Highness insists on killing this servant, I fear not. But allow me to remind you, Your Highness, the Princess cannot be swayed simply because she has lost her memory. Her feelings have always been beyond anyone’s control.”

Xiao Li finished speaking, closed her eyes, and waited for Huangfu Qingyun's punishment.

What a free spirit!

Huangpu Qingyun stood up and after a moment, turned to look at Xiaoli. "This palace will not kill you, nor will I let you send messages. This palace makes a wager with you. If before Xi'er recovers her memory, this palace cannot make her fall in love with me, then from now on, if you and she wish to leave, this palace will let you go. But if Xi'er falls in love with this palace, you will follow this palace and accompany Xi'er."

Xiao Li opened her eyes, looking at Huangpu Qingyun in astonishment. What did he mean

He was the Crown Prince of the Arahxia Dynasty, yet he dared to gamble with a lowly maid like her

"So, you dare not make a wager with this Palace Didn't you swear your devotion to your wife"

"I just don't understand, Your Highness, why you would bet with me, a lowly handmaiden"

There was no fear in Xiao Li's eyes. Huangfu Qingyun's attitude was really strange. She had thought about his background, and she worried he would kill her to silence her. She also thought he might lock her up, but she never expected this bet now.

"This palace merely wishes to know the difference between the princess you speak of and Xi'er today."

Xiao Li fell into deep thought, she really couldn't believe he could be so good.

"Are you seeking to know about the princess's past from me, or are you here for the purple star she possesses"

Huangpu Qingyun heard her speak so plainly about Zixing, the smile on his lips widened, "It seems you are indeed extraordinary. You even know about Zixing. You are a member of the Yao Clan."

Xiao Li's expression froze. Looking at his resolute eyes, he actually knew the Yao clan and Zi Xing.

"Looks like the Crown Prince is also here for Zixing."

Unforeseen, she escaped the grasp of Taizu's faction but fell prey to the treacherous schemes of Emperor Aoxu. She truly deserves her fate. The princess plummeted from a cliff, and the purple star pendant around her neck would surely attract unwanted attention. Little did she know, it was the purple star that they desired. This time, Madam has miscalculated yet again.

It seems my guess was right, you are the maidservant arranged by Yao Clan to be by Xi'er's side.

Xiaoli became increasingly wary of Huangpu Qingyun. Looking at the smile on his face, her guarded gaze made Huangpu Qingyun's smile even wider.

"Let me reintroduce myself, I am the Crown Prince of the Arahsia Dynasty and betrothed to someone from the Yao clan."

“Engaged to a Yao woman”

Xiao Li's face was full of surprise, how could this be

“That’s impossible. When the Princess married the King, the Madam didn't stop her, and even Imperial Consort Shu said that the Princess and the King had a betrothal agreement.” This is impossible. If the Princess was engaged to the Crown Prince of the Arahxia Dynasty, why did the Madam allow the Princess to marry the King

"You'd have to ask the Saintess about that. This palace has known about the betrothal between myself and the Yao Clan since I was young. The reason I haven't married yet is because I've been waiting for this Yao Clan Crown Princess."

Huangfu Qingyun saw that Xiao Li didn't believe him and continued, "If you want to confirm this matter, you can ask my parents or the Yao clan."

"You said if I found an opportunity, I would investigate it thoroughly."

Xiaoli's expression was complicated. The princess appeared here with a fiancé who was already betrothed to someone else. Then what about her marriage with the king

This palace doesn't mind Xi'er being betrothed before, as long as she is willing, the crown princess will be hers.

Xiao Li retracted her expression, "Your Highness, what use is it for you to tell a servant these things A servant cannot be the mistress of the future princess, who she marries is her own business, and a servant will not interfere. However, a servant believes that the princess loves the King, and would not easily change her heart."

"Then I'll make a wager with you. Before Xi’er recovers her memories, will she fall in love with me"

Huangpu Qingyun smiled confidently, "Also, rest assured, this palace won't take her Zixing. Otherwise, Zixing wouldn't still be hanging on her neck now."

Xiao Li fell silent for a moment, then looked up at him with resolute eyes, "I'll wager with you, but His Royal Highness needs to agree to a few conditions of mine."l be happy.""Who"Dugu Cheng looked at her eyes, a glimmer of understanding in them, and smiled. "You'll know when we get there," he said.Feng Lingxi pouted, Dugu Cheng smiled gently and reached out to...
