Arina held the quilt underneath her tightly with both hands, as if she couldn't accept this fact for a while.
"An Ruowan! This princess will never let you go!"
In the end Arina could only vent her anger in this way.
An Ruowan on the other side finally woke up from sleep and was about to stretch her body when she realized that she didn't seem to be in the palace at the moment.
The moment she sat up, Caihuan rushed out from the side, threw herself into her arms and cried loudly.
"Miss, you are finally back safe and sound. This slave is almost scared to death."
Listening to Caihuan's voice, An Ruowan curled up her lips and said, "What are you afraid of? Your young lady has never had trouble happen so easily."
Only then did Caihuan stop crying, "Yes, nothing will happen to the lady."
At this time, An Ruowan saw clearly that they were in Prince Rong's palace, and then he got up and walked to the outside of the study.
"princess."
When Qingfeng saw An Ruowan, he stepped forward and bowed, then opened the study door and invited her in.
Before at the border, An Ruowan didn't take it to heart when everyone spoke like this, but now that he was back in the capital and hearing such a name from Qingfeng, it made An Ruowan feel a little embarrassed.
"Now that we have returned to the capital, it is better not to scream."
"Why, is it embarrassing to be my king's concubine?"
Before Qingfeng could answer, Gu Beichen had already walked out of the study.
"Not really."
After catching a glimpse of Gu Beichen's figure, An Ruowan raised a smile and said, "I came here specifically to say goodbye to Prince Rong. Now that I have successfully left the palace, I won't bother the prince anymore."
After the words fell, An Ruowan turned around and left with Caihuan.
Upon seeing this, Qingfeng was about to step forward and leave the person behind, but he didn't want Gu Beichen to call him back.
"Just let people protect her secretly, and Arina will never give up."
Qingfeng retreated.
An Ruowan and Cai Huan returned to the princess's mansion together, turned to Cai Huan and told Cai Huan, "No matter what big thing happens, don't disturb me. I'll get some sleep first."
After saying that, An Ruowan actually lay down on the bed, and Caihuan also responded and stood guard outside the door. Even if there was a knife from the sky, she would never let anyone disturb the young lady.
Here An Ruowan fell asleep peacefully, but because of their return, ripples appeared in the capital city like a stone dropped on a calm lake.
Prime Minister's Mansion
An Zhining did not expect that An Ruo would come back from the border safe and sound from the party, but the fact that she was imprisoned by the emperor as soon as she came back also put a smile on An Zhining's face.
"It seems that after a trip, she is still the trouble-making An Ruowan."
Hearing what An Zhining said, the maid on the side quickly responded.
But now An Zhining doesn't have much thoughts on An Ruowan, because Princess Zhen is preparing to take her to Prince Rong's palace, and she is packing her things these days.
Sure enough, upon hearing the news, Meng Zhiyi also hurried to An Zhining's room.
"Zhining, have you heard that An Ruowan is back?"
Hearing this, An Zhining regained the weak look on her face and said, "Mom, don't worry, Princess Zhen even sent a message today to let her daughter go."
After the words fell, An Zhining showed a shy look that belonged to a little daughter, and Meng Zhiyi also smiled.
"My good daughter is different from that vulgar An Ruowan. Earlier she kept saying that Prince Rong would marry her as his concubine, but when did this happen?"
Hearing Meng Zhiyi's words, An Zhining smiled even more. She couldn't wait to see An Ruowan's expression after hearing the news.
"Mom, please don't say that. My sister just grew up on Zhuangzi. If she had been by my mother's side since she was a child, how could she be like this?"
An Zhining said, with a look of regret on her face, so Meng Zhiyi actually believed her words, and her eyes were even more disgusted with An Ruowan.
After sending Meng Zhiyi out, An Zhining put away the smile on her lips and stared at the cardamom-coated nails with a meaningful look in her eyes.
That night, a carriage stopped outside the gate of the Princess's Mansion, but the Princess's Mansion was quiet at the moment, and it didn't look like anyone was coming back.
When An Zhining got off the carriage and came forward, he was stopped outside the door.
"I came here specifically to visit my sister. Please go in and let me know."
However, when the guards outside the princess's palace saw An Zhining coming, they ignored her at all.
After the words fell, no one answered for a long time. An Zhining's face suddenly turned ugly. However, in front of everyone, she did not speak. Instead, she waited quietly outside the door of the princess's mansion.
Many people passed by the gate of the Princess's Mansion and saw An Zhining standing here. They turned around frequently and wanted to know what was going on.
"I know my sister is not happy to see me, but this time I am really worried about my sister, so I came here specifically to visit her. Could you please go in and let me know."
An Zhining's slowly aggrieved words made everyone around him stop unconsciously.
The guards outside the door remained unmoved, but now this scene made An Zhining feel even more pitiful.
"I just want to see my sister."
Feeling the eyes of the people around her constantly falling on her, An Zhining became more and more anxious to strike while the iron was hot. She didn't believe she wouldn't be able to enter the gate of the princess's mansion today.
"Princess Yuanshuang's trip to the border is indeed very dangerous. It is reasonable for her family to be worried. How can we turn people away?"
"If you ask me, could it be that Princess Yuanshuang has made a meritorious service and even her family members don't recognize her?"
"It's not like you can't even enter the mansion."
Everyone was talking, and soon everyone was on An Zhining's side, accusing An Ruowan of being so heartless.
I don't know how long it took, but An Ruowan woke up from her sleep and saw Caihuan beside her, looking drowsy.
Just when An Ruowan was about to let Caihuan go down to rest, she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the house, but she didn't know what was going on.
Before An Ruowan could speak, Caihuan stood up suddenly when she heard the noise coming from the room.
"Miss, nothing happened outside the house."
Listening to her cryptic words, An Ruowan walked straight out of the house. When he opened the door, he realized that An Zhining was outside.
After finally seeing the door open, An Zhining hurriedly took two steps forward.
"Sister, I finally see you safe and sound, and my sister can feel at ease."
In front of the people, An Zhining looked extremely worried.
But as soon as she finished speaking, a flash of surprise flashed across An Ruowan's eyes, "You keep calling me sister here? Who is your sister?"
An Ruowan's words made An Zhining's face stiffen, and then she stepped up the steps and said, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? But you are still feeling unwell."
