Qin Danqing took Danruo to the garden and sat for a while. The two sisters really had nothing to reminisce about.
Qin Danqing only wanted to surpass her, but now that her status was not comparable, she started with her husband's favor:
"When the prince woke up this time, he said that he was grateful for my marriage and that he only wanted me as his wife in this life. The palace is great, but how many concubines does the emperor have?
Sister, you must be more careful in the future, don’t let others defeat you by mistake.”
Dan Ruo was communicating with An Qingfeng and An Qingyu through the Samsara Pearl about their current movements, and did not pay attention to Qin Danqing's words.
This attitude of disregard further stimulated Qin Danqing's anger. She had to ask the prince to speed up and ascend the throne as soon as possible so that she could wear the phoenix robe.
Knowing that An Qingfeng was now quietly avoiding everyone and heading towards An Qingyu's yard through the secret passage in the garden, Dan Ruo waited for the right opportunity and looked at Qin Danqing:
"Madam, please take me to see my eldest sister-in-law. She always said she wanted to invite me to see her exquisitely crafted courtyard. Today is the perfect opportunity, so I must go and see it."
Qin Danqing was suspicious. An Qingyu was marrying his own eldest brother, so how could they be so close? Didn't she still have any sense of closeness?
Seeing that Danruo had already stood up, he had no choice but to lead the way. On the way, he kept muttering, "The northwest is remote. I'm afraid my sister hasn't seen many good courtyards."
When they got close to An Qingyu's yard, there were two maids guarding the door. Dan Ruo pretended to drop something and instructed them:
"The ruby bracelet the emperor gave me just fell nearby. You all go look for it."
The two maids didn't want to go, but knowing that the person in front of them was Concubine Yi, they had to go, and they kept looking back at the courtyard gate.
It was obvious that there was something fishy going on in this situation. Dan Ruo asked the palace servants following her to control the two old women, and then grabbed Qin Danqing and quickly walked into the main house.
The maid at the door hurriedly saluted loudly, and in an instant the door was kicked open by Danruo. The two people entangled on the bed had just separated, their clothes still messy.
Qin Danqing was furious when he saw this, and his high-pitched screams echoed through the roof far away.
An Qingfeng quickly jumped off the bed and covered Qin Danqing's mouth.
"I was just playing around with my sister, why are you yelling?"
Qin Danqing didn't believe it. She grabbed An Qingyu's hair, who was still lying on the bed with her clothes on, and slammed her head against the bed.
If An Qingfeng had an affair with a maid, she wouldn't be so sad, but now An Qingyu is her sister-in-law, which means that both she and her brother have been betrayed.
An Qingfeng hurried forward to help An Qingyu. Seeing that Qin Danqing was trying her best to not let go, he broke her two arms. Then Qin Danqing screamed in pain and fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, Dan Ruo asked the palace servants to hold An Qingfeng down, and he picked up the whip he carried with him and beat An Qingfeng severely.
"You've done something so shameful to me, your sister, and yet you still dare to attack me."
When Qin Danqing heard this, she didn't expect that her sister, who had always been so jealous of her, would protect her at this time. She felt extremely confused.
Danruo was just seeking revenge for the original owner, and what he just said was just to make his actions seem justified.
The original owner never noticed it in the previous life because he never thought about it that way. He just thought that An Qingfeng had a good relationship with his sister.
Unexpectedly, when they found out, they were silenced by the two.
If I hadn't been here today, I'm afraid Qin Danqing would have died of illness in this cannibalistic mansion.
Duke Anguo, his wife, and Qin Guangyu were called here by palace servants. After learning the whole story, Duke Anguo's wife's eyelids rolled, and she fainted, apparently unable to bear the shock.
Qin Guangyu's face flushed red, his hair stood on end, and he stepped forward and slapped An Qingyu:
"Bitch, no wonder you won't let me touch you even after a month of marriage. You even think it's dirty for me to mess with my cousin. I think you're thinking about your own brother. You're such a shameless person, you deserve to be thrown into a pig cage."
Duke Anguo's face turned pale. An Qingfeng must not be accused of incest between brother and sister. There were too many outsiders who knew about it today. In addition, he did not have the courage to take action against the imperial concubine, so the matter would definitely not be covered up.
But now is not the time to expose An Qingfeng's identity, so Qingyu can only be sacrificed.
He looked embarrassed. "Actually, when Madam gave birth to An Qingyu, the child was stillborn. I was afraid that Madam would worry, so I found an orphan from outside to pass as my daughter. Qingyu has no blood relationship with our family."
Qin Guangyu didn't expect that after all Du's planning, the person he had been trying to please all day was actually a fake, and a fake daughter.
He immediately shouted, "The Anguo Mansion is a fraudulent marriage. I will divorce this fake woman and put her in a pig cage."
An Qingyu was completely confused. She knew that it was wrong to like her brother, but she couldn't control her heart. Their secret meeting today was discovered, and her father said that she was not the biological child of the An family. She felt like the sky was about to fall.
She cried and begged her father and An Qingfeng, and finally Duke An Guo promised in Qin Guangyu's ear to help him get promoted. Finally, Qin Guangyu gave in, and An Qingyu was sent to a nunnery, saving her life.
Duke Anguo wanted to persuade Danruo not to spread what happened today, so he said earnestly:
"We are still in-laws now. If Qingfeng's affairs get out, Danqing will lose face. We still have to live together as a couple."
Qin Danqing also realized that the prince would become the emperor in the future and his reputation could not be tarnished, so he immediately pleaded with Danruo.
Dan Ruo looked at the palace servants present, his face full of helplessness:
"It's not that I won't help with what happened today, but if the palace servants knew about it, the emperor would definitely know about it. If I keep it a secret from those two officials, I would be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor.
However, I will certainly explain everything to the Prince of Anguo after returning to the palace. We will see what the Emperor thinks then."
Duke Anguo smiled bitterly, "I hope that Concubine Yi will speak kindly. From now on, the Duke Anguo Mansion will be at your disposal. If you are interested in the position of Empress, the Duke Anguo Mansion will help you achieve your wish."
Dan Ruo pretended to be moved to numb Duke Anguo first, but his big promises were a bit fake.
Danruo returned to the general's mansion, explained the situation to General Qin, and then set off for the palace.
Shang Xiaoyang was very happy to see her come back early. She just liked me but she didn't say it. Her actual actions revealed her heart.
Shang Xiaoyang wanted to go up and hug Dan Ruo. Ever since he confessed his feelings last night, he no longer concealed his thoughts.
Dan Ruo was only concerned with telling him about what happened today. In the case of embezzlement of military pay that Shang Xiaoyang had investigated in the past two days, the presence of the Anguo Duke's faction was everywhere. Seeing that the Anguo Duke's Mansion was so messed up, she felt unhappy.
"Then take away his position as the crown prince and give them a warning first."
Dan Ruo was in a hurry to go to Yaoyue Palace to put her things away, and Shang Xiaoyang, who was about to open his arms, put them down again.
Wang Youxi saw this and said cautiously:
"Your Majesty, today the Duke of Anguo said that if you keep this secret, he will help you seize the position of Queen.
But the Empress angrily rebuked him for deceiving the Emperor and told him to return to the palace and tell the truth. She hadn't mentioned this matter just now. In the Empress's heart, the Emperor must be more important than her, she just wasn't good at expressing it.
Shang Xiaoyang fell into deep thought. He didn't expect that she loved him so much. His position was more important than that of the queen.
She can only be his queen.
