"A thorough investigation last night gave me a big surprise."
An Ruowan dropped a black stone and raised her eyes to look at Gu Beichen, "So, the prince asked me to come here today just to play chess?"
Gu Beichen held the white pieces in his hand and surrounded the black pieces that had just been An Ruowan, "Originally it was just for playing chess, but now that you are here, this game will be over."
Looking at the black piece surrounded by the white pieces, An Ruowan had some idea in her mind and raised her eyes to look at Gu Beichen, "It seems that the prince is not interested in playing chess, but fishing?"
As soon as An Ruowan finished speaking, there was a fight with swords and halberds clashing outside the thatched house!
She looked sideways and looked out, and saw Qingfeng rushing in from the door with blood on her sword, "My lord, please take the princess out of the back door. There are subordinates here to deal with her."
"Walk."
Gu Beichen calmly put down the chess piece in his hand, pushed the wheelchair and took An Ruowan away from the back door.
These people seemed to have been prepared for it, and there were killers lying in wait everywhere.
As soon as the back door opened, I heard two whooshing sounds!
Two arrow feathers broke through the wind, heading in the direction of An Ruowan and Gu Beichen!
Gu Beichen raised his hand, and the sharp arrow in his sleeve flew out, knocking down the two oncoming arrows to the ground.
At that time, two black men suddenly flew out from behind the tree, holding long swords and rushing toward Gu Beichen!
"careful!"
An Ruowan pinched the poison in her sleeve, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but she guarded Gu Beichen!
A cold light flashed in front of her eyes. An Ruowan closed her eyes tightly and swung the poison out of her hand!
Only two plops were heard!
An Ruowan opened his eyes, and Qingfeng arrived in time and killed the two of them not far away.
Gu Beichen sat in a wheelchair and looked up at An Ruowan's figure protecting him.
"Protect the prince and princess!"
Qingfeng ordered the few people who followed him, and then went to check on the two dead men in black.
After experiencing the fright, An Ruowan turned around and saw that Gu Beichen was fine, then she smiled half-heartedly and said, "Your Majesty is really good at calculating, and you are not afraid that my clumsiness will ruin your plan."
Although the tone was meant to be teasing, Gu Beichen could also tell that An Ruowan was somewhat complaining about him.
Gu Beichen curled his lips and smiled, staring at An Ruowan with his deep eyes, "Do you really think that anyone can become my king's bait?"
"What's more, I won't let you get hurt."
Just as An Ruowan was about to speak, Qingfeng ran back from afar, holding a waist badge in his hand.
"My lord, all the people are dead. I found a waist tag in the arms of one of them. This is Ouchi's waist tag!"
Ouchi's belt? ! Wouldn't that be...
An Ruowan turned to look at Gu Beichen in surprise.
Gu Beichen's expression was indifferent after seeing the waistband, and he turned to look at the surprised An Ruowan, "Have you ever seen the murderer, would he have something on him to prove his identity?"
That's true. An Ruowan lowered her eyes while looking at the big concubine. If it wasn't the one in the palace, who could it be?
Gu Beichen said quietly to Qingfeng: "Let them take care of the body and send Miss An back home."
On top of the carriage.
An Ruowan sat aside in silence, and Gu Beichen poured a cup of tea and pushed it to her.
"I'm afraid I have to postpone the matter of marrying you as my concubine."
Holding the tea cup, An Ruowan looked at Gu Beichen, "Someone doesn't want your legs to recover, Your Majesty, and wants to catch the person behind it. Your Majesty, you will have to sit in this wheelchair for a while, I understand in my heart."
Still across the street, An Ruowan asked Gu Beichen to let go.
Not long after An Ruowan returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Caihuan entered the house with an ugly expression, "Miss, that...Song Zhiming, the one in the blue sky came to the side door and said he wanted to ask you for another five hundred taels of silver!"
"Miss……"
"Go to my warehouse and wrap up five hundred taels of silver for him."
Caihuan opened her mouth and swallowed back what she wanted to say, "Yes, Miss."
In the evening, just as the food from the small kitchen was served, Chunmei came in and reported, "Miss, the master is in the flower hall and wants you to come."
"knew."
When An Ruo arrived late, the whole family had already sat around and used chopsticks.
An Zhengqian glanced at An Ruowan and said, "Sit down, it's been a long time since the whole family had a meal together."
"What's wrong, father?" An Ruowan didn't move.
Meng Zhiyi put down the bowl and chopsticks, her voice was softer than usual, and she looked at An Ruowan, "Your father has found a marriage for you. It's an auspicious day in two days, so you can marry her."
"That family is a member of the Hanlin Academy. My wife has been dead for six months. I think he is a good man, well-educated and well-mannered. I have met you. If you marry him and have a continuation, your life will not be difficult."
Every word sounded like it was for her own good.
An Ruowan sneered, "I won't marry."
An Zhengqian put down his chopsticks and stared at An Ruowan, "Are you still dreaming about marrying the prince?!"
"It's already been three months! Prince Rong said he wanted to marry you, but there's been no news to this day. When do you want to wait until now?!"
An Zhining put down her chopsticks and said with a gentle look, "Sister, you also have to think about the reputation of our prime minister's house. The prince has not married you for a long time. Even if your parents don't care, those people outside are talking really unpleasantly. .”
"I don't know what you're being hypocritical about." An Huaiying still held grudges about being kicked into the water last time, and said in a harsh tone: "Just because you, a country bumpkin, want to marry Prince Rong, you're a toad." Swan meat!”
An Huaiyu and An Huaiming both ate their meals in silence and interrupted.
"What are you talking about your sister!"
Meng Zhiyi pretended to be angry and looked at An Ruowan with a smile, "Wan'er, your father is doing this for your own good. Although this Hu Guang is a Hanlin Academy official and an eighth-rank official, he has a bright future. …”
"I said I'm not getting married, and you two are just hard of hearing?" An Ruowan said and turned to leave.
An Huaiyu immediately threw his chopsticks, "An Ruowan, why are you talking to your parents?!"
"Prince Rong doesn't want you now! Your reputation is ruined! Your parents have found a good marriage for you, but you have such an attitude. It's true that you came from the countryside and were not well-raised!"
An Ruowan paused for a moment, then turned around with a mocking smile on his face, "An Huaiyu, is it true that the older you get, the smaller your brain becomes? Did the prince tell you not to marry me?"
Looking around at the people on the table, An Ruowan said leisurely: "If you marry me off in such a hurry, what benefit does the Hanlin Academy's diary book give you?"
"you!"
An Ruowan's expression was indifferent, "So what if I don't get married in this life?"
Meng Zhiyi's expression changed slightly, "Wan'er, how could you say such a thing out of anger!"
"Why are you so angry? He just wants to make his father angry to death!" An Huaiying snorted, "If he had known this, his father should not have brought her back from the countryside!"
An Ruowan chuckled twice and looked at An Huaiying with dark eyes, "Why didn't you say that my mother should have strangled me to death when she gave birth to me?"
