Chapter 1243: Chapter 1243: Side Story: The Emperor of Daqian Arrives, Huo Yuning Meets Her Mother-in-Law

Huo Yuning’s pair of fox-like beautiful eyes had completely inherited Qin Ruan’s Heavenly Eye, nothing in the world could escape her gaze.

The myriad spirits and demons could not hide before her, let alone Tuo Qing, a living human being with a complete soul.

From the moment she arrived at the Daqian Dynasty, inexplicably becoming Consort An in the harem, she saw through Tuo Qing and knew that he was a spy placed by the dog Emperor.

Now that she had found a clue on how to return, Huo Yuning wasn’t about to just sit around and wait for death, resigned to her fate.

Being able to return a day earlier was a relief for her.

Huo Yuning suddenly spoke up in a room with no one else present, she called out, "Xiaohong!"

A shadow in red clothes slowly drifted down from the rooftop beams.

The figure had a face as beautiful as an angel, her eyes filled with hatred, emanating a sinister and eerie red glow.

The red-clothed woman floated onto Huo Yuning, casually leaning against the window, her daunting red eyes fixed on the latter, and she said with a giggly tone, "Hee hee hee... my beauty, what do you need from your servant?"

Huo Yuning’s hand rested on her waist, her fair and lovely fingertips touching the handle of the Golden Whip coiled at her waist.

She lowered her eyes slowly, her cool voice sounding casual as she asked, "Do you know where the treasury is?"

The female ghost named Xiaohong, seeing Huo Yuning’s hand on the whip, unconsciously returned to her normal ghostly form.

She stood straight as an arrow, comparable to a modern primary school student.

Xiaohong forcibly diverted her gaze away from the whip that nearly scared her soul out of her body, her voice trembling, "I know, but why do you ask?"

Huo Yuning narrowed her beautiful eyes, smilingly said, "To plunder the treasury, naturally."

"No!" Xiaohong’s eyes widened slightly as she sharply opposed.

Huo Yuning’s cool eyes glanced at the female ghost who had clearly grown bolder and saw her face full of tension and unease.

Not irritated by the rebuttal, Princess Huo asked curiously, "Why not?"

Xiaohong, wrapped in a thick Black Evil Energy that almost overwhelmed her, spoke gravely, "The Daqian Dynasty is now plagued by continuous warfare, disasters strike the north and south constantly. If the treasury is looted, the Daqian Dynasty will be completely ruined!

The front lines would lack grain and weapons, the citizens in dire straits wouldn’t receive disaster relief money, inevitably leading to foreign enemies at our gates.

When that time comes, every subjects of the Daqian Dynasty, even the children they bear, will forever become slaves to the invaders."

Huo Yuning gently caressed the handle of the Golden Whip with tender movements, as if she were petting a beloved animal.

Her tone was indifferent, offhandedly saying, "But none of that concerns me."

This heartlessly indifferent side would chill anyone who saw it.

Xiaohong remained silent, and after a while, she finally said, "As the Consort chosen by the State Preceptor, you should take responsibility and help the Daqian Dynasty survive this crisis."

Huo Yuning, as if she heard the funniest joke, couldn’t help but burst into laughter, her body shaking with mirth.

She wiped the tears from the corner of her eye with her fingertips and asked, "Getting through the crisis isn’t an issue, but what’s in it for me?"

Seeing that she was tempted, Xiaohong hastily said, "The Emperor... His Majesty will make you the Empress!"

Huo Yuning shuddered, a look of disdain on her face, she clicked her tongue, "Forget about being Empress, leave half of the treasury’s treasures for me to choose from, or no deal."

Xiaohong’s face was filled with agony, she replied without thinking, "That’s impossible! You are His Majesty’s blessed Consort!"

Huo Yuning looked deeply at the female ghost, implying something with her words, "I think it’s more than that, aren’t I also your daughter-in-law, am I not?"

"The Emperor has arrived!"

A eunuch’s shrill voice announcing this could be heard from outside the hall.

Huo Yuning laughed and said, "Consort Lan, your royal son is here."
