Chapter 1224: Stirring

them in other cities."Feng Ming nodded slightly in agreement with An Xue Tang's words, "The emperor doesn't want the world to remember Mo Jun Yi's achievements, so he will definitely have people sland...After Ning'er and Huaduoer left, Shou'er poured another cup of water for An Xuetang. "Your Highness, are you afraid Miss Duo'er will be heartbroken"

You know, her experiences were different from ordinary people's. She had initially wanted to contribute something to the person she loved, so she barely kept herself alive.

Now that she saw through Mo Yunchen's true colors, her feelings must be incredibly complex.

Of course, what's important is that Mo Yunchen actually learned about the things she and Mo Jyunyi had experienced together…

This is the most fatal, back then she was... This incident had once made her want to end her own life.

I never expected such a thing would ultimately be discovered by Mo Yunchen.

But if her heart were not strong and firm, she would surely be overcome with despair.

Hua Duo'er's experiences, Shou'er and Kang'er were aware of them. Now, listening to An Xue Tang's worries, the two exchanged glances, fearing that when Hua Duo'er went back, she might become disheartened

After a moment of silence, An Xuetang spoke, "Shou'er, you go to the palace tonight and find Diao'er's maid, Xiaohong. Tell her to stay by Diao'er's side at all times these days."

Shou'er bowed, "Yes, but Your Highness, it's time for breakfast."

Only then did An Xuetang suddenly remember that she hadn't shared a meal with Huaduoer earlier. She had even told Shuangshuang to go to the kitchen and steam buns, Huaduoer's favorite.

It's a pity that there was no chance to have breakfast with her after all.

"Queen"

Shou'er, seeing that the princesses had not responded, couldn't help but call out again.

An Xuetang came back to her senses, "Okay, let Shuangshuang come over too, we'll eat together."

Shour slightly nodded, "Yes."

……

After Shuangshuang arrived, An Xuetang casually found an excuse to explain the matter of Huaduoer leaving.

Shuangshuang didn't think much of it either. She almost believed everything An Xuetang said. After breakfast, Shuangshuang hesitated, clearly wanting to say something.

An Xuetang raised an eyebrow, "Shuangshuang, do you have something you want to say You don't have to be so shy in front of your older sister. We're family, just say what's on your mind, it's alright."

Shuangshuang pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment before saying, "Your Highness, Shuangshuang is truly idle in the manor. I always feel like I'm of no use at all."

"…" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

An Xuetang saw her looking pitiful, with tears welling up in her eyes. She quickly reached out and patted her shoulder, comforting her:

“How is that possible Shuangshuang, don't overthink it. You are still a child now. Your main task is to study and find what you want to do. Look at how Yunsi brother found a tutor for you. She teaches you accounting and all sorts of knowledge. You can choose the way you like best, and in the future, you will be able to shine!”

Shuangshuang still pursed her lips, "But...but Shuangshuang feels like she's just eating and drinking for free in the palace, and the palace even pays for a master to teach her, yet Shuangshuang can't do anything for the princess."

"..."

An Xuetang looked awkwardly at Shou'er beside her. Actually, she didn't know how to deal with this situation either.

She and Mo Yunjing speculated that this child, Shuangshuang, might be born to the former empress. However, in this era, there were no reliable paternity or blood tests, so there was no way to confirm Shuangshuang's identity.

Moreover, even if it were confirmed that Shuangshuang was truly the Empress Dowager's daughter, they wouldn't dare make her identity public. Otherwise, she would face constant scrutiny and gossip for her entire life, and could even be targeted for assassination.

The emperor always believed that the last child the Empress was carrying was a bastard, and he also wanted to kill the fetus in her womb.

If he were to know that the child his former empress carried was born and living well to this day, he would surely try every means possible to find someone to take both Double-Double's lives.

So she and Mo Yunjing thought that they wouldn't delve too deeply into the matter of their identities.

As long as she grows up safely and happily, taught to live a good life and learn essential life skills, then whatever path she chooses in the future, she can follow it.

And she and Mo Yunjing had too many enemies. In order to protect Shuangshuang, they couldn't let too many people know that Shuangshuang was from the Bei Jiang Royal Manor, nor could they let others know that they cared about Shuangshuang.

In her and Mo Yunjing's plan, the intention was to send Shuangshuang to a safe place, a place far from the conflict, so she could spend the rest of her life peacefully.

But now with war brewing and Mo Yunchen stirring, poised to rebel at any moment, if conflict erupts, no place will be safe. It's better to secure her in the Prince's Manor, under my own protection.

I just didn't expect Shuangshuang, this child, to think so much. She actually felt that she was worthless and that she was eating and drinking for nothing in the palace.

Shou'er, upon receiving a meaningful look from his own princess, quickly stepped forward and patted Shuangshuang's head. "Shuangshuang, you are the young lady of our Prince's Manor. How could you be living off handouts Has someone been badmouthing you"

"No, no, how could anyone dare to talk ill of the Duke's manor It's just that Shuangshuang sees that all the elder sisters can do things for their older sister, the Duchess. So Shuangshuang, alone, has nothing to do all day, so she feels like a useless person..."

"You mustn't think that way. If you do, our Princess will be distressed. Outsiders may not know, but you must understand that the Princess and the Prince treat you as their own sister. Since you haven't reached marriageable age, of course the Duke's Manor will protect you."

Shuangshuang glanced at Shou'er and then at An Xuetang. She was still a bit stubborn. "That... That really doesn't need Shuangshuang to do anything, does it Shuangshuang knows that the princess needs someone to watch over Sister Fuer now. It's better for Shuangshuang to come. Even if it's just sending her meals every day."

She just wanted to prove she wasn't a failure, that she could also share the burden for the princess.

Shou'er and An Xuetang exchanged glances. When it came to Fu'er, An Xuetang was still a little uneasy.

After all, even though Fu'er has been disfavored, one can never be too sure what other schemes she might have up her sleeve. Shuangshuang is a helpless child, and An Xuetang couldn't bear the thought of letting her get close to Fu'er.

However, this wasn't the first or second time Shuangshuang had made such a request. Moreover, hearing her speak in such a pitiful tone today, Shou'er thought for a moment and gave her own princess a look.

An Xuetang hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded. "Then that's fine. Since Shuangshuang wants to do something, then let Shuangshuang deliver the meals to Fu'er from now on. Anyway, our王府 is short-handed now, and it's good that Shuangshuang is willing to help."

Hearing what An Xue Tang said, Shuang Shuang immediately smiled and bowed to An Xue Tang, "Thank you, Princess. Shuang Shuang will definitely do a good job."

"Well then, I'll leave it to you, Shuangshuang."

"Not hard at all."

An Xuetang gave two more instructions and then let Shou'er send Shuangshuang back.

When the child returned, An Xuetang sighed, “This child thinks too much. Although Fu'er was abolished, there are still secrets on her body. I'm afraid she will do something to Shuangshuang.”

"Rest assured, Your Highness. I will have someone keep an eye on her and make sure nothing happens to her."

"Well, that's all we can do."

As the two were talking, Ning'er also returned, but her expression was slightly grave.

Seeing An Xuetang and Shou'er Kang'er and the others, their brows furrowed.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!ng herself to say it. Looking at Ning'er's back of her head, she was silent for a moment, then choked out, "What are we going to do It's not just the injuries on Ning'er's body, but also her hair…"Th...
