After regaining consciousness, Shen Qinghai broke out in a cold sweat, but couldn't think of a solution for a while.
An Ruowan was silent at this time. This matter concerned Chu Ziyi, and she didn't want to speak.
Seeing that the two of them couldn't explain what was going on for a long time, the emperor became even more angry. Just as he was preparing to have the two of them arrested, a figure came quickly from the pavilion.
"I've met the emperor brother."
Listening to this familiar voice, An Ruowan felt relieved a little, and when she raised her head, there was a smile on her face.
"Zitan, why are you here?"
Seeing Gu Beichen, the emperor was still angry. Now that An Ruowan had not punished him, Gu Beichen came in a hurry, and it was clear what happened.
"I wonder who made the emperor so angry?"
Gu Beichen did not answer the emperor's words, but instead fell on everyone here.
"Why don't Ruo Zitan ask your princess about this matter."
The emperor snorted coldly and turned his head to the side.
"Your Majesty."
An Ruowan had no choice but to lean slightly towards Gu Beichen. Before she could think of a way to deal with it, Gu Beichen's voice first came to her ears.
"Do you want to ask questions about what this king has told you?"
Hearing this, An Ruowan stiffened, as if she didn't expect what Gu Beichen meant by this, but she still leaned forward and saluted.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty, but I have never asked you to clarify."
At this time, Gu Beichen strode up to her, "But it made the emperor unhappy because of this matter?"
An Ruowan had no idea what he was talking about, so she could only keep silent at this moment.
"Back to Brother Huang, when we came back from the border not long ago, someone came back with us. I wonder if Brother Huang has heard about this?"
The emperor did not respond, so Gu Beichen continued talking on his own.
"That person is the second young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion. However, this person has been in Tuoba Country for a long time and was released for some reason. Therefore, I want Ruo Wan to help find out about this matter."
When he finished speaking, An Ruowan felt a little more at ease.
"But after all, I have a close relationship with the prime minister's house. I happened to meet my uncle when I entered the palace today, so I wanted to entrust him with the matter. However, the matter has not been found out after all, so when I asked the emperor about it, I My daughter-in-law doesn’t know how to respond.”
After saying these words, An Ruowan had already lowered his head to the lowest position. Even Shen Qinghai reacted and tapped his nose with a fan, showing an embarrassed look.
"Really?"
Although there was nothing wrong with this explanation, the emperor felt that these people were talking nonsense in front of everyone.
"If Brother Huang doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire."
Since Gu Beichen dared to say these words, he had naturally already thought of a countermeasure.
Even though the emperor had doubts in his heart, he only narrowed his eyes and glanced at Gu Beichen twice before looking away.
"So, very good."
After saying this, the emperor turned his attention to Shen Qinghai who was standing aside, "If you can handle this matter well, I will definitely not treat you badly."
"I will never betray the trust of the Holy One."
Shen Qinghai put away the fan in his hand and bowed his hand to the emperor with a serious look on his face.
This farce ended with this result. The queen escorted the emperor out of the pavilion, and only a few people were left looking at each other.
"It really scared me."
Seeing that there was no one around, Shen Qinghai patted his chest in fear.
"Get out of here first."
Gu Beichen didn't say much. After finishing his words, he strode out.
An Ruowan and Shen Qinghai did not dare to say anything more, so they could only follow Gu Beichen one after another, and disappeared after a while.
After leaving the palace gate and getting on the carriage of Prince Rong's Mansion, Shen Qinghai completely relaxed.
"As expected of the prince, if I knew who the blind person was today and deliberately poured this basin of dirty water on my head, I would definitely not let her off lightly!"
In the harem, it will definitely not be the queen, but there is no guarantee that any concubine will want to suppress Shen Qinghai to make the queen suffer this secret loss, and can also use this to suppress Prince Rong's palace. It is really a good plan.
"Concubine Qiong."
This time, An Ruowan blurted out a name without Gu Beichen opening his mouth.
Hearing this, Shen Qinghai's eyes widened unconsciously, "Master, I have never taken the initiative to provoke her!"
An Ruowan unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth, "Your identity is the best explanation."
Yes, in the harem now, apart from the queen, Concubine Qiong is the most powerful. If this incident can be used to bring down the queen, how could Concubine Qiong let go of this opportunity?
"How abominable!"
Shen Qinghai's teeth were itching with hatred, but he had no evidence yet, so he could only swallow this breath.
"This matter did not get past the Holy Lord. You should calm down and don't ask for trouble again." Gu Beichen saw the reluctance in Shen Qinghai's eyes and raised his eyes and said lightly.
"But……"
"No buts."
Shen Qinghai finally shrank his neck and did not continue. After all, he was still a little afraid of Gu Beichen.
When the carriage stopped outside the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion, Gu Beichen got out of the carriage first, and the two of them had no choice but to follow.
"I have sent people to inquire about the news in the Prime Minister's Mansion. In a few days, you will report the matter to the Holy Majesty truthfully. Don't say a word about other matters."
After seeing Gu Beichen's serious look, Shen Qinghai didn't dare to say another word and just nodded in agreement.
"As for what happens in General Weiyuan's mansion, it's up to you."
Shen Qinghai was about to nod subconsciously, but then he suddenly realized what he had said, and his face instantly turned red, "Your Majesty, how do you know that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Beichen looked at him like he was looking at a fool.
Seeing that the couple really deserved to be a family, Shen Qinghai didn't say anything more and immediately left the palace as if running away.
"What happened today is thanks to the prince."
An Ruowan didn't expect that Gu Beichen would show up in such a timely manner. What happened today was because she didn't think carefully, or she didn't expect that the situation in the palace would change so quickly, which caught her off guard.
"Don't take this matter to your heart, my king..."
Before Gu Beichen finished speaking, he was interrupted by An Ruowan.
"My lord, you don't have to worry about everything. Since Concubine Qiong dares to attack me today, I will not suffer the fate of being dumb."
Seeing the smile on An Ruowan's face, Gu Beichen didn't say much.
At this moment, the person sent by Gu Beichen to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion fell from mid-air.
"The second young master doesn't go out very often. On the contrary, Miss An is rarely in contact with anyone. That person is the second prince's bodyguard."
Hearing this, An Ruowan unconsciously raised the corner of her mouth, "This opportunity will come soon."
Gu Beichen understood that An Ruowan had already thought about this matter, so he didn't say anything more.
After An Ruowan returned, he immediately asked Bai Yu to inquire about An Zhining's movements.
"It looks like there is going to be a big gift for my good sister."
Prime Minister's Mansion
After An Zhining was severely punished by An Zhengqian, her hatred for An Ruowan had reached its peak, and now there was only one person left that she could hold on to.
"Miss, this is the medicine sent by someone outside the house."
The maid outside the door carefully opened the door and entered.
