He looked at the Queen Mother with a smile. His expression was innocent and naughty, which made people reluctant to blame him. Seeing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "You kid, you have been talking for a long time. You should have stood up and explained it earlier, so that we would not see your wife's beauty..."

The old empress dowager was very shrewd. When she heard Dongfang Jin say this, how could she continue to pester him?

Dongfang Jin smiled and said, "I think it's not too late to say it now. This can be regarded as a small episode of this banquet..."

Queen Yun breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. It seemed that the two of them had some strategies, which made her feel more at ease.

I can't handle everything for them, maybe it's time to relax.

Seeing that she could not gain any benefit, Murong Lanxin smiled and said, "I feel relieved when the prince says so. It seems that I have been worrying too much. I hope the prince and princess will not be offended..."

She said this with a smile, as if she was really thinking about them just now.

An Qingran couldn't help but admire the woman's shamelessness.

But everyone is capable of hypocrisy, so she smiled and said, "In that case, thank you for your concern, Princess. I will appreciate your kindness."

Murong Lanxin's face turned red and white, she laughed and retreated to the side of the empress dowager, while Qin Xiangning, who had been stiff there, took advantage of the fact that no one noticed her, and sat down quietly. Not far from her side, An Yanran had her eyes wide open. She looked at everything in front of her in disbelief. The long nails on her right hand dug into the flesh, and she didn't even know that she was bleeding. She just looked at that damn woman. That face was exactly the one she wanted to tear apart in her dreams. Her mother was sentenced to death because of her disfigurement, and now, her face was smoother than before. What was going on?

It must be her trick. She knows the most about medicine, doesn't she? She can create the effect of a rotten face by herself, otherwise why didn't she dare to show it after she recovered? She must be guilty, right?

This further proved her guess, so she trembled all over. Her mother was killed by her. This was the thought that kept coming to her mind, nothing else!

She didn't even notice that her hand had spilled the wine, but An Ranyue reached out to straighten the glass and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?"

An Yanran came back to her senses and forced a smile. Of course she and An Ranyue came because they were both concubines, but she didn't expect Shen Zhiyun to come as well. Now thinking about it, her coming here so secretly might also be related to An Qingran, because she saw Rendong, who had been standing next to Shen Zhiyun. Both the master and the servant were not good people.

An Yanran was so hot-headed at the moment that she wanted to rush forward and strangle An Qingran to death immediately, but she just told herself that she wanted revenge!

She still has Dongfang Ye, and her cousin will help her.

At this moment, she had no idea how lustful her cousin's heart was.

This banquet became a joke in the eyes of some people, but in the eyes of some people it was an opportunity, a heart-pounding encounter, and even love at first sight. Shen Zhiyun didn't know if she drank too much, why her face was so hot, making her heart beat wildly. No matter what, that figure was imprinted in her heart. This royal event made her already restless and upward heart more determined. She didn't want to go back to that small place again. She wanted to see how the upper class people in the capital lived. She also wanted to be like these people, singing day and night, ordering slaves and maids, and living the life of the most noble person.

The banquet continued to be lively, the singing and dancing continued, but the Queen Mother left first because she was old and sleepy and she was afraid of disturbing the young people's mood.

However, An Qingran guessed that she was mostly embarrassed. She didn't know what she would discuss with Murong Lanxin when she returned. Would she deal with her?

She vaguely understood Murong Lanxin's feelings for Dongfang Jin, otherwise there was no reason for her to expose herself in front of everyone and take the risk of saying such words. She was obviously well prepared. If she had not restored her appearance, how could she have passed this test? It seemed that the Queen Mother was preparing to let Murong Lanxin take her place, right?

Thinking of this, she felt very upset.

At this moment, Dongfang Jin was talking to Lian Muhan, and the others were busy with their own things. The smell of wine mixed with the fragrance of flowers and fruits was not pleasant. An Qingran looked at everyone, all of whom were smiling. Who knew what each of them was thinking? Now they were smiling at you, but they might hope you died the next moment. She felt very bored. Seeing that Dongfang Jin was not paying attention, she quietly slipped out with her skirt lifted, and Rendong followed behind her: "Crown Princess, where are you going?"

"I just want to take a breath." An Qingran smiled helplessly.

Honeysuckle also sighed: "Yes, today's banquet is lively, but it is too noisy. I am dizzy because of the noise..."

An Qingran walked forward casually. When she arrived at the Imperial Garden, she took a deep breath. The fresh air was filled with the scent of magnolia and the intoxicating smell of tuberose. It was so refreshing that a hint of joy appeared on An Qingran's face...

"You woman, how dare you lie to me!" A gloomy voice suddenly sounded, and Rendong screamed in fright.

The voice warned, "If you want everyone to know that the Crown Princess and I are having a secret meeting here, then go ahead and shout."

Honeysuckle covered his mouth. The dim light from the lantern on the tree shone down on a demonic face. At this moment, the face looked particularly hideous, whether because of the light or something else. He was looking at An Qingran with a sneer: "Why don't you speak? You are calm!"

An Qingran was indeed looking at him very calmly. How could he dare to do anything wrong in this palace?

Dongfang Ye had been paying attention to An Qingran, so he knew when she came out.

"So it's Prince Kang. I really don't know what you are talking about? It sounds like you are questioning me?" An Qingran felt puzzled.

"Of course, you haven't forgotten what you have done, right?" Dongfang Ye was so angry that he couldn't control himself.

"Then please explain clearly, Prince Kang. I really don't remember what happened to make Prince Kang so concerned."

"You, woman, dared to lie to me. You made that rotten face to disgust me. Don't you want to say something now?" Dongfang Ye actually looked righteous.

An Qingran smiled. She didn't know what made him so confident. She just thought it was ridiculous. "King Kang, it was about this matter. Now I remember it now. I remembered that King Kang wanted to show his concern for me. I also gave him a choice and let you see my true face. I don't know what King Kang has to regret..."

"It's a shame. You did it on purpose, didn't you? Now you don't dare to admit it?"

"How can King Kang be sure that I did it on purpose? You saw that face. I myself did not expect that I would recover like this. Maybe I was lucky, so I recovered. King Kang will not blame me for this, right?" An Qingran looked at the face in front of her and listened to his disgusting voice. She couldn't imagine how she could have fallen in love with him in her previous life. Why couldn't she see his true face clearly?

Dongfang Ye was sure that An Qingran was lying to him. Even if she wasn't, she was standing in front of him like this. Her every frown and smile was testing his patience. He really wanted to strip her naked right now...

Seeing the light flashing in his eyes made her feel sick. She could guess what he was thinking now, so she sneered, "Prince Kang, if there is nothing else, I will leave..."

As soon as she turned around, Dongfang Ye's big hand grabbed her arm. How could Rendong bear to see him bullying her young lady? She stepped forward to pull his hand: "Your Majesty, you can't do this..."

Dongfang Ye raised his hand and shook off Ren Dong, knocking her against a tree. Ren Dong hit her head on the tree and fainted. An Qingran frowned when she saw that Ren Dong was injured. She raised her hand to hit King Kang's disgusting face, but Dongfang Ye had already guarded against her. He stretched out his hand to hold her arm down and glared at An Qingran: "You know, I have always had a good impression of you, but you have always had Dongfang Jin in your heart. I don't know what you two have been doing secretly. Do you dare to say that there was no affair between you before? That's why you treated me like that? Let me tell you, I won't let you go. Don't think that I will let you go if you marry him..."

Dongfang Ye's voice was cold and terrifying, and it rang in An Qingran's ears. An Qingran stared at him coldly: "Do you want to force yourself on me now? Don't you know the consequences?"

"Of course I know that the Crown Princess seduced Prince Kang and behaved badly. I'm afraid she should give up her position as Crown Princess, right? What do you think?"

Dongfang Ye smiled evilly.

An Qingran didn't wait any longer and stomped hard on Dongfang Ye's foot with her knee. Dongfang Ye let go of An Qingran's arm in pain. He was ashamed and angry. He didn't expect An Qingran to be so strong. He gritted his teeth and was about to say something when he suddenly heard Dongfang Jin's voice calling An Qingran. An Qingran responded and Dongfang Ye lowered his voice: "I won't let you go. One day, I will taste you..."

"You're dreaming!" An Qingran replied coldly.

Dongfang Ye's figure disappeared all of a sudden, and he was afraid of being caught by Dongfang Jin.

An Qingran looked at his back and smiled coldly, "Dongfang Ye, don't think that it is still the same as in the last life. I am a chess piece in your hands, I am your forbidden delicacy, and you can use and slaughter me as you please. In this life, since you are so shameless, I will never let you succeed again. On the contrary, in this life, I will take back what I deserve, that is what you owe me, I will follow your example, whatever you like and care about, I will destroy it, no matter what it is!

The fire of hatred in An Qingran's heart was aroused once again and burned fiercely. However, after hearing Dongfang Jin's voice, her mood improved a lot. She turned around, responded, and ran in his direction.
