Chapter 288: Is it good or bad?
"Tell me, did the Third Prince want to get rid of him himself, or was it a political enemy of the Qiao family, or the Emperor?" Mo Qianxun looked confident, as either way was within her expectations.

【None of them.】008 shook her head. Although she didn't want to spoil her master's good mood, it really wasn't one of the three she mentioned.

Mo Qianxun was astonished: "Not these three? Could there be someone else?"

008 nodded. "She is the Third Prince's consort."

"Third Prince's Consort? Why? From what I've observed, the Qiao family army has a good reputation on the border and is quite powerful. Now that foreign enemies are invading, it's the perfect time to use manpower. Why would a woman like the Third Prince's Consort kill a great general who serves the country and its people?" Mo Qianxun didn't understand. What benefit would killing General Qiao bring her?

[Because General Qiao knows some things that the Third Prince's Consort intends to take to her grave, for safety's sake, only the dead can keep secrets.]

"No, if you put it that way, then I'm curious, what secrets does this Third Prince's Consort have that General Qiao knows?"

[Host, you're curious, aren't you? I think it would be better to have the person involved talk to you.]

"Ah? The Third Prince's Consort?"

[What? I was talking about General Qiao. You can just tell General Qiao a name: Huang Xuan'er. That's the Third Prince's wife's given name.]

Mo Qianxun pouted: "Could Huang Xuan'er have been General Qiao's lover before?"

[Host, you can go ahead and ask. Don't worry, General Qiao shouldn't be angry with you.] 008 was basically just trying to coax Mo Qianxun into discovering the secret herself.

Mo Qianxun glanced at him, then looked at General Qiao, who was sitting in the main seat chatting with Lu Tao. After gathering her emotions, she said, "Judging from your accent, General, you must be from the capital, right?"

"Is this young lady also from the capital?" General Qiao was somewhat surprised. If this young lady was also from the capital, so young and so skilled, he should have heard of her.

"I am not, but I have a friend who is from Beijing."

Chen Min and Lu Tao stared at her in shock: Wait, when did you suddenly have a friend in Beijing? How come we didn't know?
"Does the young lady have friends in the capital? Which family's daughter is she? Let me see if I know her or not. I'm not bragging, but in that small place like the capital, there's no one I, Qiao Mian, don't know. I even know Brother Wang, who sells pancakes on the street, very well." Qiao Mian patted his chest, making a very confident statement.

"I don't really know which family she belongs to. We just met by chance. Her surname is Huang and her name is Huang Xuan'er."

"...Pah!" Unexpectedly, after hearing the name Huang Xuan'er, General Qiao paused for two seconds and then spat out a mouthful of saliva.

Mo Qianxun: ...This person has a grudge against Huang Xuan'er.

"Are you referring to Huang Xuan'er, the second daughter of Imperial Censor Huang, who was born out of wedlock?"

Mo Qianxun gave 008 a look, and 008 immediately nodded. Yes, it was Huang Xuan'er.

"That's right, it is indeed Huang Xuan'er from Imperial Censor Huang's family. Judging from General Qiao's expression, it seems he dislikes her somewhat?"

“Young lady, if I may ask, how did you get to know that woman Huang Xuan’er? She’s a vicious woman. Forgive my bluntness, but the two of you don’t seem like people who can get along.” After saying this, Qiao Mian looked Mo Qianxun up and down. “That’s right, the two of you really don’t seem like people who can get along.”

Mo Qianxun glanced down at her outfit: "What's wrong with me? Am I so shabby that I'm not worthy to play with the daughter of Imperial Censor Huang?"

Qiao Mian saw Mo Qianxun's expression and knew she might have misunderstood, so he quickly explained, "I mean, you're so pretty, you don't seem like the kind of person Huang Xuan'er would look for as a playmate."

Mo Qianxun: ...Oh, I get it. Could it be that she deliberately seeks out people who aren't as good-looking as her to make herself look better? Qiao Mian saw that Mo Qianxun seemed to understand and quickly nodded: "If she really wants to be friends with you, I can't say for sure, but she definitely has something on her mind. She's the kind of person who won't do anything without a benefit."

Mo Qianxun was stunned for two seconds. Could it be that Huang Xuan'er wanted to kill Qiao Mian because he knew this?
"No way, she's already the Third Prince's consort. What could I possibly have that she could use against me? I'm just an ordinary person." Mo Qianxun was stunned. Wait, is Huang Xuan'er really that bad?

"The Third Prince's Consort? Her? Even if the Third Prince were blind, he would never be interested in her. Although I am on the frontier, I still know a little about what happens in the court. You have probably been deceived, young lady. The Third Prince did marry a principal wife, but she is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, not Huang Xuan'er."

Mo Qianxun immediately looked at 008. Wait, what's wrong? Why is it giving me an error message?

008: But I didn't say Huang Xuan'er was the Third Prince's wife.

[Host, Huang Xuan'er is dead!]

"Dead?" Mo Qianxun looked at 008 in surprise, so surprised that she didn't even hear Qiao Mian calling her.

Chen Min tugged at Mo Qianxun's clothes: "Qianxun, someone is calling you."

Mo Qianxun looked over and saw Qiao Mian looking at her with a puzzled expression: "Miss Mo, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something, I don't know if it's true or not."

"Hey, what's the big deal? Just tell me and I'll send someone to check and we'll know if it's real or fake!"

Mo Qianxun looked at Qiao Mian: "I heard that Huang Xuan'er is dead!"

"What?" Qiao Mian dropped his wine glass on the table, then laughed. "Miss Mo, are you kidding me? You didn't just say Huang Xuan'er was dead."

"I only just found out about this myself, and there's something else I know too."

"what's up?"

"Someone will come in and poison it in a little while."

Qiao Mian's face froze instantly: "Impossible, how could this be? Huang Xuan'er is such a scheming woman, how could she die so quickly?"

Mo Qianxun and the other two exchanged glances. Qiao Mian's demeanor didn't seem like that of someone he disliked.

If this person was truly someone he hated, he should have been happy that this person died. How could he be in this state now? It seems there is no happiness in his expression, but rather a faint sadness.

"I'm not entirely sure if this is true either, but someone will definitely poison us in a bit. Just watch!" Mo Qianxun was also a little confused. So, was this Huang Xuan'er good or bad?

Soon, a soldier came in carrying a plate of roasted meat, placed it on the table, and prepared to leave.

Mo Qianxun glanced at Lu Tao, who immediately stepped forward and pinned the soldier down.

"General, what does this mean?" The soldier was pinned to the ground, his face showing some guilt.
