"I have never thought about what to do, please forgive me!"
It has to be said that even though An Zhining had guessed that Concubine Zhen had murderous intentions towards her, she did not act immediately in front of Gu Beichen.
An Zhining saw that Princess Zhen had not spoken for a long time and did not care about anything else. She walked straight towards Gu Beichen, bent her knees slightly and knelt on the ground crying.
However, An Zhining did not cry loudly. Instead, she wept silently, which made people feel pity very easily.
But the person in front of her was Gu Beichen, so how could he be touched by this scene and want to leave immediately? He always didn't like to interfere in matters in the backyard.
As soon as he moved, An Ruowan naturally followed him, but then An Zhining saw An Ruowan. As if he suddenly remembered something, he clutched An Ruowan's sleeves tightly, "You can't leave, my dear mother. She made me do this!"
Now An Zhining couldn't care about other things, so she immediately turned around and spoke to Princess Zhen.
Concubine Zhen, who was originally overwhelmed with anger, just saw that behind Gu Beichen, besides Qingfeng, there was a maid.
But when she looked carefully, she realized how come this maid looked familiar?
"You are... An Ruowan!"
After a moment, Princess Zhen recognized the identity of the person in front of her, but the next second her face became more and more ugly. She did not expect that An Ruowan would be so bold, not only entering the palace, but also pretending to be Look like a maid.
What made Princess Zhen feel even more uncomfortable was that what happened to An Zhining today was actually seen by An Ruowan. How could the family scandal be exposed?
At this moment, the first thought that popped into Princess Zhen's mind was to find a way to turn An Ruowan into a member of the palace.
But when Princess Zhen calmed down and looked at the sobbing An Zhining on the ground, she suddenly felt that she was unwilling to admit her identity as her goddaughter, so...
Concubine Zhen subconsciously cast her gaze on Gu Beichen who was standing aside, but before she stayed there for a moment, Concubine Zhen immediately shook her head and rejected it. This situation would never happen!
However, Gu Beichen didn't know what Concubine Zhen was thinking. He noticed Concubine Zhen's gaze, but he was still confused. At this moment, he just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"Since Princess Yuanshuang came to the house, why didn't she come in an honest manner?"
She hasn't yet figured out a solution to the problem in her heart, so Princess Zhen can only act like she doesn't know anything and open her mouth to question.
"My princess's coming to the palace like this doesn't seem to have any impact on the palace, right?"
An Ruowan didn't care at all what Princess Zhen said, she just smiled and asked.
"Yes, then I hope the princess can return to the princess's mansion with this attitude!"
Concubine Zhen's eyebrows showed a hint of displeasure, obviously puzzled by An Ruowan's answer, and then she focused on An Zhining, the person who almost ruined the royal family's bloodline.
"Take it down."
"Empress, you can't do this to me!"
An Zhining didn't expect that Princess Zhen would be so indifferent to An Ruowan entering the palace like this, but what she didn't know was that what she did was even more innocuous than An Ruowan. Things are too serious.
Not long after, An Zhining's shout almost disappeared. Concubine Zhen glanced at Gu Beichen who was standing aside, "Princess, please move."
Just like that, An Ruowan followed Princess Zhen out of the courtyard. Gu Beichen was about to follow her to have a look, but was stopped by the nanny outside the door. She frowned slightly, but in the end she did not continue walking out. , he believed An Ruowan could solve the matter.
After Princess Zhen stopped, An Ruowan did not continue walking forward.
"If word of today's incident spreads, I'm afraid the Prime Minister's Mansion..."
As soon as Princess Zhen opened her mouth, An Ruowan understood what she meant, but the next second she couldn't help laughing.
This sudden laughter also aroused the dissatisfaction of Princess Zhen, but at this moment she suppressed her anger and turned to look at the person in front of her.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but you seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, when your daughter was named the princess, you severed the relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, if your Majesty wants to use the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion as a condition, , I’m afraid I found the wrong conditions.”
Although An Ruowan meant the reminder well, when these words fell into Princess Zhen's ears, her face became even darker.
"An Ruowan, you don't think that I am afraid of you."
The reason why Princess Zhen chose An Zhining was simply because she didn't bother to fight with An Ruowan.
But now An Zhining doesn't know what's good and what's good, and she even has thoughts that she shouldn't have. In this case, she doesn't mind taking action herself!
Seeing the threat in Princess Zhen's eyes, An Ruowan still showed no fear in her eyes.
"I know why the queen is so hostile."
Listening to An Ruowan speak slowly, Princess Zhen also wanted to know what she was thinking.
"The position of Princess Rong, the Queen Mother, has never wanted to fall into my hands."
An Ruowan also knew that Princess Zhen did not look down on her status as a princess for the time being.
It's not that her status as the princess is not high on the stage, but behind her back, the Prime Minister's Office has completely severed ties with her, so how can anyone become her backer.
But in this matter, An Ruowan didn't think it was a problem. Not to mention whether she really wanted to marry into Prince Rong's palace, her grandfather's family alone was enough in An Ruowan's heart!
But there was no need for her to say these words in front of Concubine Zhen. She just raised the corner of her mouth slightly after seeing the surprise in Concubine Zhen's eyes.
Hearing this, Princess Zhen's expression rarely softened a bit. She seemed not to have expected An Ruo to tell the matter so happily at the evening party, but she still narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "It's important for people to be self-aware, but the princess is straight to the point."
"When dealing with the Dowager Empress, if you hide it, wouldn't it be a joke?"
An Ruowan paused for a moment and then continued: "My queen, don't worry too much. My daughter is here today just to watch the excitement. It's so lively that I'll forget about it after seeing it."
These words can be regarded as an indirect promise to Princess Zhen that this matter will not be spread from her mouth today, and it can also be regarded as letting Princess Zhen feel relieved for the time being.
However, Princess Zhen still had that displeased expression on her face, and her gaze lingered deeply on Gu Beichen before turning and leaving.
After a while, only Gu Beichen and An Ruowan were left in the room. Gu Beichen looked aside with interest, "Is this what you call a good show?"
Hearing this, An Ruowan turned around and said, "Why, do you think the prince has not enjoyed watching this play today?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the smile on Gu Beichen's face, and immediately waved her hand, "If the prince can take action to protect An Zhining's life for the time being, there will be an even more exciting show afterwards. I wonder if the prince can do it." interest?"
