An Yuxiao stayed up for two nights in a row, and his body lost weight in an instant. His face was covered with stubble, his eyes were sunken, and his energy was listless. It was as if he had experienced purgatory in the past two days. Now he was even more anxious and worried. He placed it in the study. Evidence of the crimes of Jincheng officials disappeared.
However, Commander Xiao of the Imperial Guard personally led his troops to the Anping Marquis Mansion to invite people. He only said the Holy Spirit had summoned him, and An Yuxiao, dressed in plain clothes and robes, followed Commander Xiao into the palace without even having time to clean his beard.
At this time, An Yuze and An Yuming were also summoned to Ruixueyuan by the old lady. At first they were very impatient and didn't know why the old lady called them in the middle of the night. But when they saw the commander of the Imperial Guard coming in person, they were frightened. Jumping, secretly wondering what the eldest brother had done.
When the second wife heard that her eldest brother had been captured, she felt happy. She had encouraged An Yuze to take a concubine a few days ago, and now the retribution has come. It is really retribution in this world.
Although the third lady was quite happy to not see Dafang gaining power, they were also attached to the Hou Mansion and were now anxious to find a way to get An Yuming out of the relationship with Dafang for fear of being implicated.
Everyone in An Mansion was tossing and turning at this time. The eldest lady went to Ruixue Courtyard and then returned to Junlan Courtyard. Several aunts from An Yuxiao came over to inquire about the news. Aunt Xu was the most worried, fearing that something happened to the master and would affect her daughter. Get married.
The eldest lady was also worried, but she still forced herself to calm down, comforted Aunt Xu and Aunt Su, and persuaded them to go back. Aunt Lin also sent Mother Qian to find out the news. She only said that she could not come in person to confess, and she was still grounded. During this period, you cannot disobey the old lady.
The eldest lady doesn’t want to argue with her. After all these years, Aunt Lin has always been so arrogant because of her master’s favor. The eldest lady has not had time to take care of her son in the past few years. How can she have time to compete with her for favors and jealousy? As time goes by, Faded.
An Xiyue finally persuaded Mei Yunluo to go to bed and told her not to worry. If something happened, would Anping Hou Mansion still be so stable at this time?
As soon as the eldest lady left, An Xiyue heard the voice of a maid speaking outside the door, so Jiang Shuang hurriedly opened the curtain and came in, respectfully saying: "The third lady is here."
An Xiyue raised her lips and smiled slightly, with a light of unknown meaning in her eyes, and said lightly: "Ask her to come in."
After a moment, An Xilin walked in gracefully wearing a satin embroidered cotton-padded jacket and a white pleated skirt, and said softly: "Lin'er has seen eldest sister, and eldest sister hasn't rested yet?"
An Xilin knew that the entire Anping Palace could not sleep tonight. Although her father was called into the palace late at night, she was the only one who knew why.
An Xiyue raised her eyes and glanced at An Xilin, then smiled coldly. Her grandmother ordered people to go to all the houses in the afternoon to spread the word that no one was allowed to wear gorgeous clothes. It seemed that An Xilin was too complacent and met the fourth prince in the afternoon. Above, she thought she was the fourth prince's concubine.
An Xiyue said calmly and slowly: "My sister is here unexpectedly, so just play chess with me. This late night is difficult anyway."
Aunt Lin has trained An Xilin as a legitimate daughter since she was a child. Not only is she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least An Xilin can dabble in it.
An Xilin was shocked by An Xiyue's reaction at this time. She was calm and calm as water. She was stunned for a moment. Can she still play chess? An Xiyue had never touched a chessboard since she was a child. An Xilin was confused, everything happened so strangely.
While An Xilin was stunned, An Xiyue had already laid out the chessboard and said in a deep voice, "Isn't my sister confident? Why, are you scared now?"
An Xilin's face changed color for a moment, and she always felt that there was something in her words. She blinked her big watery eyes in an attempt to erase the uneasiness. She was sure that An Xiyue didn't know how to play chess at all, so she sat down with her obediently. , said softly: "Sister, it is better to be respectful than to obey."
At this time, An Xilin was seen holding the white piece in one hand, staring at the fight between the black piece and the white piece on the chessboard. The black piece surrounded the white piece, and there was no way to escape. Soon the white piece was at a disadvantage and was completely defeated. An Xilin stared at Her pupils were enlarged, her beautiful face turned pale with fright, and she raised her head suddenly, "You are not my eldest sister, who on earth are you?"
An Xiyue didn't want to hide it at all. She actually lived a new life. She wanted to live an upright life, so she said in a deep and unhurried voice: "Sister, maybe I thought that my sister was possessed by a ghost. Since I was a child, my sister and my sister have been My relationship is the best. Why, I won’t recognize my sister after losing a game of chess.”
"How dare you deny your sister?" An Xilin tried her best to give a gentle smile, but she forgot the original intention of coming today and said softly: "My father was called into the palace tonight, so eldest sister is not curious."
"What are you curious about? I'm curious about why the things on my father's desk disappeared, or I'm curious about why there was a thief at home. The thief is also very powerful. He was able to steal things silently from the huge Anping Marquis Mansion." An Xiyue said coldly. , shook his head and sighed.
An Xilin frowned slightly, her face turning red and blue. In order to get the attention of the fourth prince, she tried her best, thinking secretly, as long as she could help the fourth prince defeat the eldest prince and the sixth prince, she would do anything. willing.
An Xilin smiled lightly, but didn't know how to answer the question. After returning home, she felt that she was indeed too bold today, but it was her cousin who sent her back today. Her cousin said that as long as the fourth prince succeeds, he will allow her to be a concubine. The position is not a problem. Of course, she understands what her cousin means. If the fourth prince can become the crown prince in the future, the position of the crown princess will be reserved for Lin Jingxian.
An Xilin was also worried that her father would be implicated, but the fourth prince also promised not to implicate his father. The battles for the throne in the past dynasties were full of blood. The princes were brothers on the surface, but secretly they fought to the death.
And she was just helping her father become the fourth prince's faction. In the future, the fourth prince could also become the supporter of the Anping Houfu. An Xilin felt less panic after thinking about this.
An Xiyue looked at her expression, and the smile on her lips became deeper and deeper. An Xilin felt so horrified that she even stopped breathing, and ran away in a hurry.
Five days later, An Yuxiao was released from the palace. When he was released, he was all skin and bones, and his handsome face was haggard. The cold in the palace made him tremble all over, but he could only bear it in his plain robe. Finally, , he did not argue with reason, but took the initiative to write a confession to plead guilty. The emperor was kind and released him.
In the past few days, the emperor blocked all news and detained him in the palace. He lived like a year and was so frightened that he broke into cold sweats all day long. Although he was not tortured, it made him more physically and mentally broken than the torture. He wished he could commit suicide on the spot rather than suffer that. Waiting for suffering.
At this time, An Yuxiao did not care about her physical fatigue, but was concerned about where the charges of the Jincheng officials who suddenly appeared in the hands of the fourth prince came from. An Yuxiao's thin body seemed to be blown down by the cold wind in an instant, her hair and clothes There was a foul smell coming from his clothes. This was all due to the sweat he had produced in the past few days, which soaked his clothes and then dried them in the wind.
