Chapter 396: Take One Step at a Time



Forget it, Xu Chen'an sighed. Judging from her condition just now, she should know. Since she was sure, there was no point in saying more. Thinking of this, Xu Chen'an stopped talking and turned around to get medicine for her.

The envoy from the Western Regions always felt something strange after listening to An Lirong's pipa that day, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.

So, he wanted to see An Lirong again, thinking that the strangeness in his heart might be solved by seeing her again.

"Please report to the emperor of your country that I want to meet the concubine who played the pipa that day." The envoy from the Western Regions said to the palace maid assigned to him by Situ Yao.

The palace attendant glanced at the envoy in surprise, seemingly very curious, but remembering her own identity, she immediately lowered her head and said, "Yes."

In a moment, Situ Yao received the news that the envoy from the Western Regions wanted to see An Lirong, and naturally the Empress had to know that the foreign envoy wanted to see the women in the harem.

So at the same time, Su Mengyan also received this news.

"What? The envoy from the Western Regions really said he wanted to see An Dacheng?" Su Mengyan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the envoy from the Western Regions would actually ask to see the concubines in the harem.

"Yan'er, you know too?" At this moment, Situ Yao walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the envoy from the Western Regions wanting to see An Dafen? I just learned about this and I wonder what Your Majesty thinks about it." This matter was really too confusing, so Su Mengyan asked Situ Yao directly.

Situ Yao couldn't understand it at all. He came here just to ask Su Mengyan what she thought about this matter?

He knew that An Lirong had actually taken refuge with Su Mengyan, and perhaps Su Mengyan knew something that he didn't know.

"To be honest, I came here to ask you some questions. An Lirong is yours, and I think you know more about her affairs." Situ Yao said frankly.

Su Mengyan knew about An Lirong. In fact, Bixia should have told him something, but Su Mengyan didn't know how Bixia said it.

Therefore, Su Mengyan knew that she had to say something to Situ Yao no matter what.

"Your Majesty, actually I don't know why the envoy asked to see An Da Ying, but I dare to ask Your Majesty to protect An Da Ying." Su Mengyan looked at Situ Yao and said.

But Situ Yao saw Su Mengyan's reaction. He was even more curious about An Lirong's situation. What was An Lirong's identity? Why did Su Mengyan do this?

"Yan'er, what do you mean? Could it be that the envoy from the Western Regions will do something unfavorable to An?" Situ Yao grasped the meaning of Su Mengyan's words and asked curiously.

Su Mengyan couldn't guarantee whether the envoy would do anything bad to An Lirong, but she had to make plans for An Lirong in advance.

Thinking of An Lirong's identity, it was not appropriate to tell Situ Yao now, so Su Mengyan said: "Your Majesty, do you remember that I told you last time that An Lirong looks a bit like someone from the Western Regions?"

Speaking of this incident, Situ Yao nodded. Of course he remembered it. It had only happened two days ago, so how could he not remember it?

But why did Su Mengyan suddenly bring up this matter? Could it be related to An Lirong?

Situ Yao reacted immediately and stared at Su Mengyan: "Could it be that An Lirong is really related to the Western Regions?"

Although, he couldn't tell Situ Yao An Lirong's true identity, he could tell him that An Lirong was of Western Region descent.

Thinking of this, Su Mengyan said, "Yes, Your Majesty, An Lirong's mother is from the Western Regions. Therefore, I am worried that the Western Regions envoys will harm An Lirong."

After hearing this, Situ Yao finally realized that this was the case. It was because An Lirong's mother was from the Western Regions and had offended someone and was being hunted, so she came to the Central Plains and had An Lirong. The envoy from the Western Regions wanted to see her, and Su Mengyan was worried that it was related to this matter.

After leaving Su Mengyan's palace, Situ Yao fell into deep thought about the Western Regions envoy's request to meet An Lirong. He didn't know whether he should let the Western Regions envoy meet An Lirong.

After careful consideration, Situ Yao felt that instead of figuring it out by himself, it would be better to take a risk and give it a try.

So, Situ Yao sent someone back to tell the envoy from the Western Regions to make preparations and come to the palace to see An Lirong.

Afterwards, Situ Yao came to An Lirong in person. An Lirong was flattered and paid her respects to Situ Yao. At the same time, she wondered what had happened and why the emperor would come to her.

Without letting her wait for long, Situ Yao stated his purpose: "My beloved concubine, do you still remember the envoy from the Western Regions? For some reason, the envoy insisted on seeing my beloved concubine."

What? An Lirong was a little bit unbelievable. Did the Western Regions envoy know something? Why did he want to see her for a small promise?

"Your Majesty, you must be joking. I am just a woman and a concubine in the harem. How can I meet outsiders so easily?" An Lirong suppressed her surprise and looked calm.

Looking at An Lirong suspiciously, Situ Yao came forward just to see how An Lirong would react when she heard that the envoys from the Western Regions wanted to see her.

That's it? It seems there's no special reaction.

However, Situ Yao had already sent someone to tell the envoys from the Western Regions that they were ready to enter the palace. Since he had not received any useful information from An Lirong at this time, he did not think much about it.

"I have already agreed. The envoys from the Western Regions will be entering the palace soon. My beloved concubine, you should get ready!" After saying that, Situ Yao turned and left.

Watching Situ Yao leave, An Lirong's brows showed worry. Well, let's just take it one step at a time.

An Lirong had no choice but to comfort herself in this way.

Not long after, the envoys from the Western Regions entered the palace, and An Lirong did not dare to keep Situ Yao waiting for long.

The Western Regions envoy stared at An Lirong's face carefully. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and shouted, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

What? This shocked everyone present. Her Royal Highness? The Western Regions envoy actually called An Lirong Her Royal Highness?

What's going on? Situ Yao stared at An Lirong closely, not missing a single expression on her face.

An Lirong was indeed a little panicked at first, but after she came to her senses, she immediately dodged and said, "What is the envoy doing? I am just a concubine of the emperor, not a princess."

However, the envoy from the Western Regions did not listen at all. He saw clearly that An Lirong's face was clearly that of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but she was still young.

"No, I can't have made a mistake. You are Her Royal Highness the Princess. I remember it clearly. At that time, I had the honor of meeting Her Royal Highness the Princess several times." The envoy raised his head and looked at An Lirong. He believed that he couldn't have made a mistake.
