# 256. Xu Qi'an: I've Contributed Again
"Are you mocking us?"
"Ice" slowly crept onto Noble Consort Chen's face—her expression, her gaze, and her tone of voice all turned cold.
"Would you look at that," Xu 's shrugged and sneered, "No matter how sweetly someone paints a picture, the moment real payment is required, they immediately turn hostile."
*Good thing you didn't agree—otherwise, I'd rather see Lin'an heartbroken than let you win.*
Noble Consort Chen took a sip of tea, and when she set the cup down, her face had returned to its usual calm. “Our greatest flaw is Lang'er. As long as she is no more, there will be no evidence left to prove anything.
"And with the blink of an eye, Fengqi Palace is about to collapse. As they say, a wise bird chooses a good tree to nest in. Sir Xu is a clever man; surely you know the right choice."
Xu Qi'an nodded in agreement, "The Crown Prince remains the Crown Prince, and the Empress is about to be deposed. You, Madam, have promised to marry Lin'an to me... so, I choose Duke Wei."
Noble Consort Chen's expression stiffened, and her grip on the teacup tightened. It took a long time before she resisted the urge to either splash the hot tea in his face or smash the cup.
