"What... what?"
"His Majesty decreed the family extermination of the Shangguan Hidden Clan. There is no longer a Shangguan Hidden Clan in this world." The slight red lips parted slightly, and her eyes watched closely for every minute expression on Feng Xuxu's face.
After hearing this, Xiu Yang was completely in shock. The fury, hatred, and unwillingness from before all turned to ash in an instant, and soon after, she started laughing bitterly.
"Your father and your brother are very worried about you. Let's leave the Imperial Palace together, and start a new life."
Since hearing about the extermination of the Shangguan Hidden Clan, Xiu Yang felt as if everything had become clear. She seemed to understand something and, shaking her head, she turned to Feng Xuxu, "Princess Mei, thank you for your kindness. I've taken it to heart, but I'm afraid I won't be able to step out of this Imperial Palace again in this life. Even if I wanted to leave, His Majesty would not allow it."
