"So? The ledger is fake?" Sister Yun looked at her with a curious expression.

An Ning shook her head: "No, the story about taking the account book is fabricated, but the account book that was used to collude with the merchants is real. It was just that the prince later stole it from the Second Prince's residence."

Sister Yun nodded: "Is An Ge doing this so that you won't be punished after you return to the palace?"

An Ning nodded.

"Why is Mu Anyu suddenly acting like a madman?"

An Ning continued, "That's because the prince is ruthless. He fed him poison. It wasn't fatal, but once he drank it, he would become extremely angry and crazy. If he saw someone he resented at that time, the effect would be even better."

Sister Yun looked on with a look of astonishment: "No wonder everyone in the palace was saying that Mu Anyu had gone mad."

An Ning simply gave a thumbs-up to the air: "The prince is still more vicious."

Sister Yun smiled and looked at her: "You think An Ge isn't a good person?"

Anning shook her head: "No, I think he's a good person."

Sister Yun continued, "If you were a woman, would you want to marry An Ge?"

An Ning shook her head stiffly, as if she had been suddenly struck by a pressure point: "No, no, no, I won't marry."

"By the way, Sister Yun, how are the other sisters? Has His Majesty made things difficult for them?"

Sister Yun said, "Don't worry, they were only confined to their homes for a month and had their salaries reduced by three months. They didn't suffer much."

An Ning was relieved: "That's good."

How about honeysuckle?

An Ning said, "That's great. I've got the divorce papers, so I can start a brand new life now."

A fleeting sadness crossed Sister Yun's eyes as she looked up into the distance and said softly, "I'm so happy for her."

"Don't worry, Sister Yun, Mu Ange and I will definitely find a way to get you out of the palace."

Sister Yun shook her head: "My ambitions lie elsewhere. Actually, there's nothing wrong with being in the palace. With those ladies keeping me company, it's not boring at all."

"So, did the dog emperor come to harass you?"

Sister Yun smiled and shook her head: "No, don't worry."

"That's good. I still have errands to run in Yangju Palace, so I'll be going now. Sister Yun, come find me if you need anything."

"good."

Watching An Ning's departing figure, Meng Yun couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He remembered when they first met, Xiao Ningzi was just a child who didn't know anything. In such a short time, she had grown up so much and was now able to stand on her own.

Embroidery of the Four Seas

It was already evening, and the shop was about to close.

Su Yunyan glanced around and saw a figure in the corner outside the shop.

She knew who it was; he had been guarding that place day and night, rain or shine, all these days.

Su Yunyan took a few steamed buns from the back room, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and went outside.

"Have something to eat. Now that Mu Anyu has been arrested, this shop can operate peacefully."

In the darkness, Mu Anheng reached out and took the steamed bun, carefully opening it: "Thank you."

Su Yunyan said softly, "I should thank you."

Mu Anheng shook his head: "I owe you. The shop is about to close, right? Get some rest. Don't embroider too late. Take care of your eyes."

Su Yunyan nodded, momentarily dazed that such thoughtful concern had come from him.

"good."

After saying that, she turned and went inside.

Mu Anheng ate his steamed bun in the cold wind, leaning against the cold wall, watching the lights in the shop gradually go out.

After waiting for so many days, it had become a habit, and it's really hard to leave now.

The cold wind carried away his sigh, and as the next gust of wind blew, he returned to his slum under the cover of night.
