"I bow to Princess An and thank her for saving my life. This is such a great favor, I have no way to repay her."
This time, Sang Liwan did not stop her, but asked Song Yan to perform the ceremony respectfully. Only after she kowtowed three times did he help her up.
"Alright, this princess feels your gratitude. Maybe she'll get up now?"
There was a smile in Sang Liwan's voice when he spoke, which made Song Yan feel a little embarrassed for a moment, wondering if she was being too petty.
She stood up with the help of Sang Liwan, and stood in front of Sang Liwan a little embarrassedly. Thinking of what Sang Liwan had just done, she felt a little worried for a moment.
"Princess An, you have offended the Emperor for this servant, will you be in trouble?"
Song Yan was grateful to Sang Liwan for helping her, but she was also afraid that Sang Liwan would get into trouble because of her.
"It's okay." Sang Liwan shook his head. "When the emperor wakes up tomorrow morning, he won't remember anything. As long as you don't say anything, no one else will know about this."
Hearing this, Song Yan was immediately shocked. She pursed her lips and shook her head, her face full of determination, "Don't worry, Princess An, I don't know anything and I didn't see anything."
Seeing this, Sang Liwan chuckled: "What a little girl, all right, go back quickly, don't let anyone see you."
Song Yan nodded, and before leaving, she looked at Sang Liwan seriously and said, "Princess An's great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten. I will definitely repay Princess An."
Sang Liwan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your repayment."
Soon, Sang Liwan slowly returned to the banquet, looking calm. No one knew that she had just knocked the emperor unconscious.
Only Jun Moyi looked at Sang Liwan's raised mouth corners and felt vaguely that this matter seemed very complicated.
Especially when he saw that Sang Liwan came back alone and did not see Yan Hui, he felt that something was wrong.
It wasn't until Sang Liwan sat down beside him that Jun Moyi handed her a glass of wine and asked softly, "Where's Yan Hui?"
"He went to do something for me." Sang Liwan answered casually, and at the same time took the wine cup handed over by Jun Moyi, and said with a smile: "I ordered the prince's secret guard to do something for me. The prince should not mind, right?"
Hearing this, Jun Moyi knew that this girl was teasing him again.
"What's the difference between the prince's and the princess'?"
Sang Liwan raised an eyebrow but did not answer, his face looking mysterious.
Jun Moyi narrowed his eyes, always feeling that this girl was hiding something from him.
He felt a little itchy in his heart.
"What did you do?"
Hearing this, Sang Liwan slowly turned around and looked at him, "Your Highness is very curious?"
"Yes, a little bit." Jun Moyi had no intention of hiding anything from her. He always felt that Sang Liwan seemed to be planning something.
Sang Liwan just glanced at him indifferently, then raised his chin in the direction of Chen Yan, "Look there."
Jun Moyi was stunned. Following her gaze, he saw Chen Yan sitting there with a strange look on her face, as if she was expecting something. Even when Jun Mochen spoke to her, she only responded incoherently, and would glance at Zhou Li from time to time.
Jun Moyi's fingers holding the Buddhist beads gradually clenched.
If he guessed correctly, Chen Yan was plotting against Zhou Li, but judging from her appearance, her plan must have been disrupted by Sang Liwan.
Thinking of this, Jun Moyi turned around and looked at Sang Liwan deeply.
Sang Liwan always knew that Jun Moyi was smart. As soon as the two of them looked at each other, she knew that Jun Moyi had probably guessed it.
She smiled and took a sip of her wine cup, raising an eyebrow, "Guessed it?"
"About 80%, but I'm not sure about the exact number."
However, Sang Liwan was deliberately being mysterious. She said quietly, "Your Highness, just wait and see. This time, I have given you a great gift."
Looking at Sang Liwan's cunning look, Jun Moyi couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
"Then I will wait and see."
After three rounds of drinks, the emperor still hadn't returned, and the queen could barely maintain the smile on her face.
In such an occasion, the emperor actually left her, the queen, alone here facing the civil and military officials. Doesn't that mean he doesn't care about her?
The smile on the queen's face was stiff until Nanny Chang walked up to her and whispered something. The queen's forced smile instantly fell.
"What did you say?" The Queen was in shock and doubt, still unwilling to believe it. "Did you see it clearly?"
Nanny Chang nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. I saw it with my own eyes. I have arranged for someone to guard the door, waiting for Your Majesty to come over."
Hearing Nanny Chang's confident words, the Queen instantly became angry, and her face turned ferocious and ashen.
"Asshole!"
She stood up with her sleeves swung, "Where is he? Take me over to see him."
Having said that, he stood up and left with Nanny Chang.
The Queen did not lower her voice the entire time, so all the civil and military officials sitting below could hear her conversation with Nanny Chang.
They looked at each other, not knowing what had happened to make the Queen so angry in such a situation.
Only those who were attentive narrowed their eyes and felt that they had vaguely guessed something.
The reason why the queen was so angry was most likely related to the emperor.
Chen Yan had been staring at the Queen. When he saw her leaving, he guessed that his plan must have already begun.
She suppressed the excitement in her eyes, and then said to Jun Mochen beside her, "Her Majesty the Queen seems to have encountered something urgent. How about we go over and take a look?"
Jun Mochen thought so too.
Although he had quarreled with the Queen many times over Chen Yan in the past six months, the Queen was his biological mother after all, and he was worried.
Hearing Chen Yan say this, he nodded without hesitation, stood up and followed.
Chen Yan's eyes showed some excitement, and he also stood up, but before leaving, he glanced at Zhou Li again vaguely.
There seemed to be a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Sang Liwan snorted softly, crocodile tears, how disgusting.
Jun Moyi's gaze moved back and forth between Sang Liwan and Chen Yan several times, as if he realized something.
Some ministers had already begun whispering to each other, constantly speculating what had happened and why they all left one after another?
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. The Emperor is nowhere to be seen. Did the Empress go to look for him?"
"It's hard to say."
No one could guess what was going on.
At this moment, someone in the crowd said mysteriously, "I heard that the Emperor seemed to have favored a maid who was sweeping the gardens, so the Empress hurried over."
"Wow! Is this true?"
Zhou Li could no longer hear the following words, his mind was filled with that sentence -
The emperor favored a palace maid who swept the imperial garden.
