Zhang Wenhuai came over at this time and said, "Oh, it's a pity that Princess is wearing this outfit. I have a spare set of clothes in my carriage. I think we are about the same size. If Princess doesn't mind, you can wear mine first!"
An Ning shook her head and said, "I appreciate Miss Zhang's kindness, but I brought spare clothes with me!" Then she asked Hongyu to get clothes from the carriage, and then said to a maid from the Princess's Mansion beside her, "Please help me find a room so I can change my clothes."
The little maid bowed and said, "Yes, Princess, please follow me!"
An Ning said something to the other ladies, and went to the room specially prepared for guests with the little maid. But after waiting for a long time, Hongyu didn't come. An Ning guessed that she must have lost her way, so she said to the little maid: "My maid may have lost her way. Please go and help find her."
The maidservant listened to An Ning's instructions and hurried out to look for her. An Ning was waiting in the room bored when she heard footsteps coming, followed by a male voice saying, "Where is the little beauty you mentioned? If you dare to lie to me, I will make you pay for it."
Then a female voice said, "Young Prince, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you this time!"
The young prince smiled frivolously and said, "It doesn't matter. If I can't be satisfied, it's the same with you."
The female voice seemed to be a little angry and said: "Please respect yourself, young prince. We are just taking what we need."
An Ning's mind suddenly started to ring with alarm bells. This was a courtyard for female guests, so how could a man come here? She must have fallen into a trap. But when she tried to stand up, she found that she was too weak to stand up. Seeing that the man was about to come in, An Ning had no time to think and could only get into the space.
As An Ning entered the space, the door was pushed open, and then a man walked in. She looked around and found that there was no one, so she said to the woman outside the door: "How dare you lie to me, who is this person?"
The woman was Zhang Wenhuai. She was also shocked. She clearly saw An Ning enter the room with her own eyes, so how could there be no one there?
Before they had time to think about it, a figure appeared. He knocked the two men unconscious with a knife each. It was not enough to just knock them unconscious. He stuffed a pill into each of their mouths and then threw them onto the bed.
An Ning could see everything clearly in the space, but she had no way to get out. The man looked around but didn't see An Ning, so he left with some confusion.
When An Ning saw that the man had left, she quickly washed her face with cold water in the space, and then took some detoxification pills. She had prepared these detoxification pills when she was going to the border, for fear of encountering a black shop. Unexpectedly, she did not use them when she went to the border, but used them in the capital.
She changed into clean clothes and quickly left the space before the two people on the bed woke up, then left the room and closed the door considerately.
Seeing An Ning coming out, the man hiding in the dark was puzzled. He had just searched the house but did not find any trace of Princess Yongjia. Where was Princess Yongjia hiding?
After An Ning left the yard, he came to the place where the carriages were parked, but he did not see Hong Yu. An Ning asked the driver, "Did Hong Yu come over just now?"
The driver shook his head and said, "My lord, I didn't see Miss Hongyu coming."
An Ning nodded, and fearing that something had happened to Hongyu, she returned to the mansion to look for her. An Ning followed this path and finally found the unconscious Hongyu among the flowers.
An Ning pinched Hong Yu's philtrum hard, and Hong Yu slowly woke up. She saw An Ning and said in a daze, "Princess, what happened to me?" When she moved, she found that the back of her head hurt a lot, and when she touched it with her hand, she found a lump the size of an egg.
An Ning helped Hong Yu up and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go back quickly!"
The two found a similarly unconscious maid nearby, and An Ning also revived her. The maid was also confused after waking up, but was afraid of being punished by An Ning, so she quickly said, "Please forgive me, Princess. I don't know how I fell here."
An Ning comforted him, "It's okay. I waited in the room for a while, and then Hongyu came. I changed my clothes, but you didn't come back. I was afraid that something happened to you, so I looked for you with Hongyu. I didn't expect you to be unconscious here. What happened to you? When did it happen?"
The little maid shook her head and said, "I don't know what's going on."
An Ning patted her shoulder and said, "It's okay. Don't tell anyone about this. Hurry up and get up and go to work!"
After instructing the maid, An Ning and Hong Yu went directly to the flower hall where the princess was. She asked Hong Yu to wait at the door, and then she went in and said to the princess, "Princess, I feel a little tired, so I'll go back first. I'll come to visit you next time when I have time."
The princess nodded and said, "Well, it's getting late now, you should go back first! I will definitely come over on the day you get your make-up done."
An Ning bowed quickly and said, "Then I'd like to thank the princess first." After that, she stepped out and took Hongyu back to the Rongchang Earl's Mansion.
What An Ning didn't know was that not long after they left, something big happened. The maid arranged by Zhang Wenying brought a group of people to the place where An Ning had rested before, and discovered the scandal between the young prince of Zhennan Palace and the daughter of the prime minister's mansion.
Because when An Ning left, she only told the eldest princess and then left through the side door, so no one noticed.
Zhang Wenhua's maid ran into the crowd and said that Princess Yongjia was missing and her mistress had gone to look for her. She asked everyone to help look for her. The princess knew that An Ning was gone and someone must have done something bad on purpose, so she followed everyone to the guest house without making a sound.
When the door was opened, the two people inside were still enjoying themselves. The eldest princess was afraid that someone would be killed, so she ordered people to separate the two. After they were separated, they discovered that they were the young prince of Zhennan Palace and the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Everyone was shocked.
The princess naturally could not ignore what happened in the princess's mansion, so she immediately reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor was furious, but since things had come to this point, he could only decree the marriage between the two. Although Zhang Wenhua was unwilling, she had no choice but to marry the young prince of the Zhennan Palace, and the wedding date was much earlier than An Ning's.
