‘Is that really what happened?’

Luo Xiuran frowned. It seemed like he did not believe Gao Shixuan.

“If you don’t believe me, you can detain me here and follow this map to the place where the gunpowder is hidden…” Gao Shixuan said.

Feng Yili ordered Jiang Ying and the others, who had rushed over, to take a look.

After Jiang Ying took the map, Qian Jiao said, “I’ll go with you.”

The place fell silent after Jiang Ying and Qian Jiao left.

After a moment, Gao Shixuan pursed her red lips and said, “In fact, this battle shouldn’t have happened at all. Beixiao doesn’t want a war either. After all, whether they win or lose, they’ll have to pay a high price. They have no choice because they want to ask for help from Nanyue’s imperial family.”

“What help does Beixiao need from Nanyue’s imperial family?” Luo Xiuran questioned.

“The Nanyue’s imperial family has a hundred-year-old snow lotus. Beixiao needs it,” Gao Shixuan said slowly. ‘Snow lotus?’

‘Why does Beixiao need the snow lotus?’

Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili’s eyes flashed upon hearing this.

Gao Shixuan continued to say, “Now that you’ve captured the Crown Prince of Nanyue, I believe that the Third Prince of Beixiao will try to make peace with you.”

“Why did you capture Junjin?” Yu Yunxi asked coldly.

“County Princess of Xinan, I captured your son because I want to meet Eldest Senior Brother. I’ve done so many foolish things over the years. I’m sure he hates me. I was worried he wouldn’t meet me so I thought of this method,” Gao Shixuan said as she shook her head and smiled bitterly.

“You’re lying! You wanted to hurt me!” the little bun retorted angrily.

Gao Shixuan did not deny it. Instead, she nodded and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. After all, Zixiu’s identity has never been acknowledged. I was jealous so I was a little rough with you.”

‘She actually apologized?! What kind of trick is she playing?’

Luo Xiuran’s expression was a mixture of shock and disbelief. He felt like he had seen a ghost. After all, this was his first time seeing Gao Shixuan apologize.

On the contrary, Liu Xiaolan’s eyes were slightly red. He felt that his Little Junior Sister had finally grown up and was no longer as willful as before.

“Is that so?” Yu Yunxi asked sarcastically. After all, how could such a small apology make up for the harm Gao Shixuan caused the little bun and Qian Qing?

Yu Yunxi’s eyes glinted coldly as she placed the little bun in Feng Yili’s arms. Then, she walked over to Gao Shixuan before she picked up a cup and poured its content on Gao Shixuan. She said expressionlessly, “Since General Gao is apologizing, General Gao should be more sincere.”

The tea was very hot. As it dripped down Gao Shixuan’s face, it caused her face to turn red.

The men in black standing behind Gao Shixuan wanted to stop Yu Yunxi, but Qian Mei and the others stopped them.

When Liu Xiaolan saw the state Gao Shixuan was in, his heart ached. His voice contained a hint of blame as he said, “County Princess… Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this? Little Junior Sister has already admitted her mistakes. How can you…”

Before Liu Xiaolan finished speaking, Feng Yili said coldly from the side, “Shut up. If you can’t discern right from wrong, then get out of here.” Sensing Feng Yili’s anger, Liu Xiaolan could only swallow his words.

‘Eldest Senior Brother… really dotes on Yu Yunxi…’ Gao Shixuan thought to herself. Her eyes flashed briefly, and they quickly returned to normal. Then, she slowly raised her head and said with a smile, “County Princess, you’re right. I have no complaints.”

Gao Shixuan was so submissive at this time that it seemed like she had no temper at all.

Liu Xiaolan’s heart ached even more when he saw this.

Suddenly, Feng Yili said coldly, “Feng Zixiu is not my son.”

Those who knew about this matter thought that Gao Shixuan would kick up a fuss at this time. After all, she did not want to hear the truth. In the past, every time Feng Yili wanted to explain, she was very resistant toward it.

However, Gao Shixuan was very calm this time. She lowered her head and said, “Eldest Senior Brother, you don’t have to deliberately remind me about this. I know… Zixiu is Second Senior Sister… no, Second Senior Brother’s child…”

Liu Xiaolan’s body trembled when he heard these words. He looked at Gao Shixuan with red eyes.

‘Little Junior Sister knows… the truth?’

“I came back this time because I want to pick Zixiu up from the capital. I was not a good mother so I want to make up for my mistakes,” Gao Shixuan said with a wry smile as she shook her head.

Gao Shixuan’s reaction was so unexpected that no one could react for a moment.

Luo Xiuran frowned as he stared at Gao Shixuan. Perhaps she was very calm, he felt like there was a chance that she was telling the truth.

After that, no one spoke again.

Liu Xiaolan stood in the corner. He would look at Gao Shixuan from time to time with a complicated expression on his face.

After some time, Jiang Ying and Qian Jiao finally returned.

“Your Royal Highness, County Princess, the gunpowder… has been found,” Qian Jiao said solemnly.

‘So Gao Shixuan was telling the truth?’

Yu Yunxi frowned. She looked at Gao Shixuan. Since it was their first time meeting, it was difficult for her to see through Gao Shixuan. Regardless, she could not tolerate the fact that Gao Shixuan wanted to hurt the little bun. Finally, she said stonily, “Since General Gao helped Xinan, Xinan is naturally grateful. However, this is a separate matter. I can’t forgive you for hurting Junjin.”

In fact, Yu Yunxi wanted to say that she wanted to fight Gao Shixuan to the death. As a mother, how could she not avenge her son?

Unexpectedly, Gao Shixuan suddenly pulled a dagger out and stabbed it into her thigh. Blood flowed out in just an instant.

“Little Junior Sister!”

Liu Xiaolan rushed over immediately. He looked at the blood on Gao Shixuan helplessly. His voice also trembled when he spoke.

Gao Shixuan looked up and forced a smile on her face as she said, “County Princess, Eldest Senior Brother, I use this method to apologize, and I hope this will assuage your anger.”

Gao Shixuan looked like she really knew she was wrong.

At this time, Lin Xiaolan turned around. Before anyone could react, he fell to his knees heavily in front of Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi. He clenched his hands tightly as he said tremblingly, “Eldest Senior Brother, I’ve never begged you for anything. This time, I’m begging you…”

Feng Yili’s eyes darkened slightly. However, he did not respond. Instead, he turned to look at Yu Yunxi with a questioning gaze.

Yu Yunxi knew Feng Yili was leaving the matter up to her. Liu Xiaolan was Feng Yili’s Second Junior Brother so she did not want to make things difficult for him. Moreover, Gao Shixuan had already been punished. In the end, she sighed lightly and said, “Get up. Let’s not talk about this matter for the time being..”
