"Yes! And there are guards escorting us. These guards don't look like they are protecting people at all. Instead, they look like they are escorting prisoners. Their faces are really scary."
The onlookers nodded in agreement. Some of them who couldn't restrain their curiosity and courage went to the edge of the team and asked a few questions. Unexpectedly, the sullen guards actually answered.
Most of those who inquired about the news looked shocked and started shouting when they came back.
"Oh my God! This news is so exciting! You will never expect it!"
"Say it quickly! Don't make everyone excited!"
"This team is actually the same team that sent me to the palace just now, and they are back again! Do you know what this means!"
"This team of people are taking the bride to the palace? Which palace? They went just now, why are they back now? There seems to be someone in this sedan!"
There were those who didn’t know what happened just now and asked curiously. Just by hearing this, they knew it must be big news! Not to mention gossip, just sharing this news with relatives and friends can make you look well-informed!
"Of course it's Prince An's Mansion! Prince An and his wife have been missing for more than half a month, and they are still on their way back to Beijing. It is said that the emperor rewarded two beauties to be Prince An's concubines. No, just now Send it to Prince An's Mansion?"
"Ah!"
Many people took a breath, their faces full of shock.
"Isn't this a stab in the heart of Princess An? Princess An has just returned from a disaster. I heard that she was missing with Prince An for more than half a month!"
"Isn't that what you said? But it was given by the emperor. Maybe he wanted to comfort Prince An." The speaker blinked. What else did the people who were joining in the fun not understand? But it is not easy to discuss anything about the emperor in public.
"But with Princess An's temperament, how can she tolerate this? I heard that Princess An has a very fiery temper. So far, no lady seems to be able to please her."
"So this team is back again! Maybe it's Princess An who refuses to let this concubine in!"
"Can't you? No matter how fierce Princess An is, she wouldn't dare to do such a thing, right? After all, this is a person given by the emperor!"
"Don't tell me that you guessed wrong! Just now I made it clear with the guard brother that it was not Princess An who sent this concubine back, but Prince An himself!"
"Oh my god! It's actually Prince An! The concubine given by the emperor, such a good opportunity to have a beautiful woman, but Prince An actually gave up?! Why is it so hard to think about it?!"
"Hum! You think everyone is the same as you! Doesn't this just illustrate Prince An's devotion and love for Princess An? Before, some people always said that the previous affection between Prince An and Princess An was all just a show. Who can doubt the truth of this matter now? Those people have nothing to say!"
"Perhaps Princess An made a fuss and refused to allow the concubine to enter, but it may not be Prince An's intention." There are still some unbelievers who hold an opposing view.
"Why can't Prince An be dedicated to love? Doesn't Prince An seem to be a dedicated man? And the guards of Prince An's palace just now said it with their own words. It was Prince An's intention to return the concubine."
…
For a while, everyone began to discuss whether it was Prince An or Princess An who had the idea to return the concubine.
The same situation happened everywhere, and soon this matter spread completely, even faster than the previous news that the emperor rewarded his concubine to Prince An's Mansion!
It didn't take much effort at all, and this matter was already like a prairie fire, getting out of control.
As for the two women, sitting in the sedan chair, listening to the discussions outside and looking at the pointing fingers, they just wished they would faint on the spot and never wake up to face reality again!
They never thought that they would happily join the palace as concubines, thinking that they would live a life of glory and wealth from then on, and even have the opportunity to win the favor of Prince An, be promoted to concubine, or even become the princess's concubine. Seats may not be impossible!
After all, the emperor is obviously not satisfied with Princess An!
But they never thought that their dream would be shattered so quickly!
Just after the two women were sent out of Prince An's Mansion, Wu Zechen kept tidying up and put on a python robe, obviously planning to enter the palace to face the saint.
While Xia Luotong was arranging Wu Zechen's clothes, he frowned and asked worriedly: "How do you want to explain to the emperor?"
It was impossible to say that he was unhappy. The moment Wu Zechen spoke, the joy in Xia Luotong's heart almost overflowed!
She knew that this man was so disobeying the emperor because of her. Otherwise, he could have taken the two women and thrown them in the backyard. There was no need to send them back.
Just like himself at the beginning, Wu Zechen treated himself that way.
But this time, Wu Zechen didn't do that, just to make himself happy.
This man is using his words and deeds to fulfill his original promise.
"Leave everything to me, you don't have to worry, have a good rest, and wait for me to come back." Wu Zechen's eyes were filled with endless tenderness. He lowered his head and kissed Xia Luotong on the forehead, then hugged her gently, and then went directly to Turned and left.
Xia Luotong felt warm in her heart. It was great to have such a man worth relying on.
After Wu Zechen left the main house, he rushed to the palace while asking Shen Geng to spread the news among the people.
Not long after, the news that Prince An's palace had returned his concubine was already spreading a lot, and there was some other news.
More and more people are saying that Prince An is grateful to the emperor for granting him such a wonderful marriage. He wants to be with the princess for the rest of his life and does not want to have any more side concubines. Two concubines sent him back.
As soon as this news came out, everyone once again remembered that Princess An was also given a marriage by the emperor. As a result, the opposition of Prince An's palace to return the concubine against the emperor's wishes was much lessened.
This just shows that Prince An is not dissatisfied with the emperor, but simply does not want to take a concubine. After all, Princess An was married to the emperor. Isn’t she living a good life now? Prince An wants to live a good life with Princess An, whom the emperor has granted marriage to!
This view was quickly recognized by the vast majority of people, and at this moment, another piece of news spread...
