After meeting the Queen Mother, she already had an idea in her mind. Moreover, these people only put her under house arrest and did not punish her excessively. They even sent two maids to serve her.

Those two little maids didn't seem to know kung fu.

They were quite friendly and seemed to like Xiaobao very much. Twice, they even tried to take Xiaobao from An Qingran's arms in a flattering way, but An Qingran did not let them.

An Qingran could see that they were just well-intentioned. If they really wanted to take the child away, she couldn't have eight eyes and could have snatched the child away while she was sleeping. But she just didn't want Xiaobao to be in any danger under her nose.

Even a little bit.

The two maids were a little unhappy, but fortunately they quickly went to do other things.

An Qingran's food was okay, but no wet nurse was sent to her, only a dairy sheep. The maid also made some milk pastries specially, which were sweet and salty. Xiaobao didn't like them, but An Qingran ate a lot of them. She told herself not to be defeated. For the sake of her child, she ate everything that could produce milk.

This made the maids very surprised. Who is this woman? She is really different from ordinary people.

An Qingran didn’t know what happened to Rendong. She hoped she could escape. As long as she escaped, she would have hope and Dongfang Jin would have the upper hand.

The Queen Mother sat there, and Nanny Rong handed over the bird's nest. The Queen Mother took a sip, then put down the bowl and whispered, "How is the front yard? Did she suspect anything?"

"Replying to the Queen Mother, I asked someone to follow me. After I went back, the two of them quarreled again. The young lady was very angry. She thought that the young master had hidden An Qingran and blamed her. She said a lot of things like that. After all, she was young and had a hot temper. In fact, the young lady is usually steady and dignified. This incident may have touched her bottom line. People can't tolerate it anymore."

The Queen Mother hummed, "Actually, I'm not afraid of them finding out. It's just that I don't want to argue with them before I accomplish my big thing. I'm exhausted. I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I'm getting more and more exhausted. I can't refuse to accept my old age. My body is not as good as yours."

"The Queen Mother is blessed with great fortune. How dare this servant compare with her? I think she is not used to the climate in the mountains. Besides, she works hard day and night. Even tigers take naps. It is time for the Queen Mother to rest. It is late now. Will this servant help you go to bed?"

Nanny Rong has always been serving by the side and understands the empress dowager's temper very well.

The Queen Mother is now confident and has nothing to worry about. She simply wants someone to remind her of her achievements.

"Well, you just have to check if that place is still safe?"

The Queen Mother reminded Nanny Rong again with sleepy eyes.

Nanny Rong agreed, then helped her to sleep, went out and made detailed arrangements. After finishing the arrangements, she patted her waist. She almost lost her life to regain trust, so she had to cherish this opportunity.

When Princess Shou heard that Dongfang Run and Lou Wanyue were arguing so fiercely, she couldn't sit still even though she didn't want to get involved. When she saw Lou Wanyue, she had just returned from Dongfang Run's study. She still had a bit of joy on her face, but tears were still on her face. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw Princess Shou: "My mother is here."

"Well, I'm here to see my darling grandson." Princess Shou walked to the child's bedside, looked at him carefully, and said, "I heard that Run'er made you angry? Tell me, I'll vent your anger for you."

Lou Wanyue burst into tears again after hearing this. She told him everything, and then she looked at Princess Shou's reaction. She saw that she was genuinely surprised: "When did this happen? How come I didn't know anything about it? Run'er is too much. Such a big thing happened, but he acted as if nothing happened... No, I felt like he was hiding something from me these days. It turns out he was hiding something so big."

Princess Shou stood up in surprise.

Lou Wanyue was also observing her at the same time and found that the surprise on her face was real. Her brows were knitted, as if she was ashamed and angry: "How could Run'er do such a thing? Has he ever done such an outrageous thing in all these years? Is there another reason? He told you in person that he has feelings for An Qingran?" Princess Shou treated this embarrassing thing as if she had done it herself. Her face turned pale. Lou Wanyue couldn't bear to watch it anymore and hurriedly comforted her.

She helped Princess Shou sit down and said, "Mother, Dongfang Run has been confused for a while. I think he is a smart man. His behavior towards An Qingran has not crossed the line so far. He will figure it out."

"You are such a good child." Princess Shou patted Lou Wanyue's hand and sighed, "At this time, you still come to persuade me. I don't know how sad you are in your heart. It's really hard for you. You have given my Dongfang family such a good grandson, but he is still not satisfied. Don't worry, mother will take care of it for you. If he still has any thoughts about An Qingran, mother will not forgive him!" Princess Shou said angrily.

Lou Wanyue persuaded Princess Shou instead: "Mother, I understand. Mother treats me the best."

"Yes, no matter what time it is, you are our good daughter-in-law, and I will not allow him to marry anyone else." Princess Shou said angrily.

In fact, Prince Shou only married her in this life, and their deep love made her feel that having too many women was definitely not a good thing.

Of course, Prince Shou also thought so.

******

Jiaoxiang Palace.

She, Concubine Shu, sat on the chaise longue, leaning against a soft goose feather pillow. She was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about. The hot steam from the cup of tea in her hand slowly dissipated and grew cold.

Finally, footsteps were heard outside.

A handsome man in a yellow robe came in. Concubine Shu looked up at him and saw that it was Prince Kang Dongfang Ye.

She didn't say anything. Dongfang Ye called out "Mother Concubine" and then took the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup: "Mother Concubine, did you hear me? Something serious has happened?"

"Every day is a big deal?" Concubine Shu leaned there lazily, looking unhappy.

"I saw the prince hurriedly riding out of the palace, followed by a large group of guards. I rarely see him like this. He even ignored me when I greeted him."

"You are such a shameless person, how can you say this as a good thing?"

"Mother, I know I am wrong. I have done many wrong things before and brought shame to you, but now I dare not take even a single wrong step." Dongfang Ye was really shocked since he learned that Prince Shou was rebelling and had so many soldiers. He usually thought that he had great talents and strategies, but now it seems that they were nothing. Over the years, Prince Shou had been keeping a low profile, but he had actually gathered so many soldiers in secret. Compared with him, he was nothing.

That competitive spirit gradually weakened.
