Chapter 1244: Chapter 1244: Extra: Anuan’s First Encounter with the Emperor of Daqian

The lady in red was none other than the deceased Consort Lan, mother of Xiao Jun’an, the Emperor of Daqian.

Upon hearing Huo Yuning reveal her identity, Consort Lan’s eyes burst forth with a chilly gleam.

Her eyes, glowing with an eerie red light, began to weep blood tears, creating a truly horrifying spectacle.

That face, once as beautiful as a fairy, twisted to the extreme, becoming ferocious.

Huo Yuning clicked her tongue lightly and said casually, "I’m the timid type, if you scare me, you’d better beware of ending up with your soul scattered and destroyed."

With a gentle tone, she uttered threats that would make any ghost tremble in fear.

In her hand, she caressed the Golden Whip wrapped around her waist, proving she was not joking.

Consort Lan’s countenance flipped like a Sichuan opera mask, immediately reverting to her previous beauty, her blood-red eyes fixed tightly on Huo Yuning.

Her voice hoarse, she asked, "When did you find out about my identity?"

Huo Yuning’s peripheral vision swept toward the courtyard, spotting the figure of the Emperor of Daqian, dressed in his Dragon Robe, slowly approaching.

The man was tall, his stature rivaling that of her own father, his steps steady and strong.

Receiving no reply, Consort Lan’s spirit floated before Huo Yuning and asked again.

Huo Yuning, who was disrupted from appreciating the manly beauty, frowned slightly and replied impatiently, "I’ve known since the first day I arrived here."

Consort Lan immediately retorted, "Impossible!"

Huo Yuning raised an eyebrow, her demeanor arrogant, and laughed, "How is it impossible? Including the fact that Tuo Qing is the Emperor’s spy, I’m crystal clear about everything. Thinking you can hide your little schemes from me is laughable. These eyes of mine can see through all the deceptions of this world!"

Consort Lan stared at the young girl before her, the one with fair skin, a delicate face, and a mischievous smile hidden in her eyes.

The State Preceptor once said this person could be the variable to save the citizens of the Daqian Dynasty from calamity.

Yet, she found that while the girl appeared innocent and pure, she exuded a slight malevolence, with no true goodness in her heart.

Could such a person, both righteous and nefarious, truly lend support to her imperial son?

Under Consort Lan’s gaze, Huo Yuning leaned forward, lifting her chin with her hand.

With a mocking smile, she teased, "Consort Lan, don’t stare at me like that; though you are quite pretty, I’m not into women."

Consort Lan, who had never been treated this way before, blushed with shame, and her spirit instantly vanished.

It was at this moment that Tuo Qing rushed in, her steps hurried.

With an anxious expression, she urged, "Little Princess! His Majesty is here, aren’t you going to prepare to receive him?"

"Receive him? He has legs, doesn’t he? He can walk in by himself."

After her sarcastic remark, Huo Yuning sat down on the round stool in front of the table inside the house, her every action exuding the noble demeanor and etiquette cultivated by the esteemed Huo Family.

The Little Princess of the Huo Family had never bowed or fawned before anyone other than her parents and brothers, not even the Emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.

Huo Yuning picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea.

Tuo Qing shut her mouth, and soon after, steady footsteps were heard.

Just as Huo Yuning was about to bring the teacup to her lips, a hand with distinct knuckles and fair skin stopped her.

A deep and magnetic voice sounded in her ear, "It seems this tea has gone cold. Your servants are so neglectful, they should all be dragged out and spanked with planks."

Xiao Jun’an snatched the teacup from Huo Yuning’s hand and waited a moment, but received no response.

Holding the cooled tea, he commanded the following eunuch, "Anjin, you personally oversee the punishment."

"Your servant obeys the order!"

Anjin, the head eunuch, bowed and accepted the command.
