"My daughter thanks the princess for helping me."
An Zhining's thank you was sincere. Even if she was still unable to have children, it was An Ruowan's ability to restore her to this state in a short period of time.
"Miss An doesn't need to be so polite. Madam went to the princess's mansion specially to invite me here. Naturally, she paid a certain price."
After the words fell, An Zhining unconsciously clenched his hands.
As for other things, An Ruowan didn't bother to talk to her. After seeing that An Zhining was fine, he stood up and prepared to leave.
After opening the door, she found that Meng Zhiyi had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When she saw An Ruowan coming out, Meng Zhiyi quickly stood up and went to greet her.
"Zhining..."
Before she finished speaking, Meng Zhiyi saw An Zhining waking up in the room. She quickly walked into the room without caring about where An Ruowan wanted to go.
An Ruowan was not interested in the scene of mother and daughter reunited behind her, and strode out immediately.
After leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, An Ruowan called Caihuan to the carriage, "Go and spread the news outside, saying that the Prime Minister's Mansion now intends to get close to the Princess' Mansion."
As for other things, let’s see what the people who heard these words will think.
Caihuan seemed to have just guessed An Ruowan's purpose. With a smile on his face, he retreated.
This news soon spread to the palace, and Concubine Qiong did not expect that someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion was also involved in the last incident.
"Go and find out what's going on in the prime minister's house these days."
The maid beside Concubine Qiong withdrew in response, but Concubine Qiong obviously took this matter to her heart.
If it was really the mother and daughter from the prime minister's house who turned her Shen'er into what he is now for their own benefit, she would not let go of any of the evildoers involved so easily!
That night, the maid sent by Concubine Qiong to find out the news returned to the palace.
"Replying to the Queen, Miss An from the Prime Minister's Mansion was injured due to miscarriage. I heard that Princess Yuanshuang came to help. Now she is fine. That's why such rumors spread in the capital."
At this point, the maid showed a hesitant look, as if there was something else she didn't know she should say.
As soon as Concubine Qiong raised her head, she noticed that something was not right about the look on her maid's face, so she immediately said, "If there is anything to hide, I will never let you go leniently!"
The maid quickly knelt on the ground, fearing that Concubine Qiong would be angry.
"One more thing is that some people say that Princess Yuanshuang had already treated Miss An before the second prince went to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Could it be that they did it on purpose..."
Of course, these words were just the maid's guess. She did not dare to speak the rest of the words casually, but Concubine Qiong had already guessed what she meant.
"If this is really the case, I would also like to take a closer look at where the prime minister's courage comes from!"
Since the truth of this matter cannot be known for a while, Concubine Qiong is not in a hurry. On the one hand, she invited the most powerful imperial doctor in the palace to diagnose and treat Gu Qishen, and on the other hand, she was thinking about how to bring them together. .
But soon the maid waiting aside saw what Concubine Qiong was thinking and took two steps forward to look at the wall beside her.
"His Majesty just gave this painting to the empress a few days ago. I heard that the entire Qi Dynasty couldn't find a second copy. Naturally, the ladies from the aristocratic families in the capital also want to see the original painting."
The words of the maid gave Concubine Qiong some inspiration. Couldn't she just find a reason to announce all these people into the palace?
"Okay, let's draft the post as you said."
Seeing that Concubine Qiong agreed to this matter, the maid suddenly showed a bit of joy on her face, turned around and started to work on it.
The next day, An Ruowan's Princess Mansion indeed received a message from Princess Qiong in the palace.
When Caihuan came back with the post, her face was full of disbelief, "Miss, the person in the palace really sent the post!"
Hearing this, An Ruowan didn't have much surprise on her face. She just casually asked Caihuan to put the post aside. She knew that Concubine Qiong was trying to save Gu Qishen's face this time without looking at it.
But the next second, An Ruowan raised the corners of her mouth. Concubine Qiong's calculation was wrong after all. In fact, An Ruowan had been waiting for this post. She also wanted to see Concubine Qiong's abilities.
"Miss, Concubine Qiong will definitely target her when she enters the palace this time, so you must be careful."
After Caihuan put the post aside, she turned around and told An Ruowan.
"Don't worry, your young lady will definitely be safe and sound when entering the palace this time. But An Zhining, on the other hand, is afraid that she will make a fool of herself in public again."
An Ruowan laughed out loud as she said this. This was the palace banquet she was waiting for specially. She hoped that Concubine Qiong would not disappoint her.
Soon the news that Concubine Qiong was going to entertain everyone reached Prince Rong's palace. Others might not know it, but Gu Beichen knew that Concubine Qiong was not a simple character.
"The Princess's Mansion also received the post?"
When Gu Beichen heard this fact, he subconsciously asked about An Ruowan's situation.
After Qingfeng nodded, Gu Beichen frowned, "Did she accept the post?"
"Exactly."
In fact, Qingfeng didn't know what An Ruowan was thinking, but now that Gu Beichen asked, he could only answer honestly.
"You go out with me."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Beichen took the lead and walked out, but this time Qingfeng knew where Gu Beichen wanted to go without asking.
When the master and servant arrived at the door of the princess's mansion, they were stopped by the guards outside the door.
Seeing this, Gu Beichen's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. Fortunately, the guards came back quickly and invited Gu Beichen in soon after.
"Prince Rong is a rare visitor. I wonder what's the reason for your visit today?"
An Ruowan came forward to greet him. When she saw Gu Beichen's stinky face, she froze in place. After thinking about it carefully, she had never even seen Gu Beichen recently, so there should be nothing that caused such a problem. Respect the Buddha, right?
"Did you answer the post from the palace?"
Gu Beichen didn't waste any time and asked straight to the point. When he saw An Ruowan nodded indifferently, Gu Beichen's expression became even uglier.
"Do you know why Concubine Qiong..."
"Of course it's because of the second prince."
Before Gu Beichen could finish his reproachful words, he was interrupted by An Ruowan, who enthusiastically told Gu Beichen the whole story.
However, after An Ruowan finished telling the story, Gu Beichen's expression could not be described as more than gloomy.
"Is Gu Qishen really that bold?"
In fact, Gu Beichen didn't want An Ruowan to answer this. He just didn't expect that Gu Qishen would go to such an extent for Arina. He had underestimated Gu Qishen's ability before.
"Even if this is the case, Concubine Qiong still wants to find the person who turned Gu Qishen into this?"
Gu Beichen's words were full of disbelief.
"My lord, you can rest assured, I have already found a scapegoat."
