"Has any of you seen Princess Jin? If you step forward to lend a helping hand to the Lord, not only will your lives be safe, but wealth and glory will also await you!"
The man in black glanced around but couldn't find any trace of An Jin, so he could only threaten these people.
Hearing him say that, many people were slightly moved.
Suddenly, a little girl cried out, "I don't want to! You're lying!" She was very young, and the shock made her cry with tears and snot mixed together, showing no trace of her usual cuteness: "You're a bad person! You killed Sister Yue, so you definitely didn't keep your word."
Her words startled many people, causing them to abandon their plans to betray An Jin, even though they themselves didn't know where An Jin was.
Although the plump old woman looked fierce, she was extremely protective of her mistress. Knowing that her master was hiding right beside her, she deliberately moved to the back of the crowd, and only breathed a sigh of relief after watching An Jin hide behind the artificial hill. She knew there was a secret passage there, which her master had specially built years ago out of playfulness, never expecting it to become a lifesaver.
She glanced discreetly in that direction, praying that her master would safely weather this ordeal.
"Okay! Cut!"
Director Du was extremely satisfied with today's perfect start. Even when he called "cut," his excitement was palpable!
At this moment, there is still a banquet scene in the inner courtyard of the palace to mark An Jin's ascension to the throne, and the scene setup and camera movements need to be adjusted.
So they called a temporary halt, allowing the lead actors to touch up their makeup and take a short break.
On Director Du's film set, the staff are all highly skilled and can be mobilized very quickly.
As soon as Lu Qingyan was helped to change into the dragon robe, Ruan Yunmeng's personal makeup artist stepped forward to touch up her makeup. In the short time that followed, everyone else had taken their positions and finished adjusting.
So, under Director Du's instructions, Lu Qingyan sat down directly in front of him, ready to film the next scene. The camera shifts, and the next scene begins with An Jin hosting a banquet.
It was the same courtyard, the same familiar figure, but he seemed much more mature.
As the camera zooms in, you can see An Jin's gold-trimmed, red-based dragon robe, with a majestic golden dragon riding on auspicious clouds and brandishing its claws.
The innocent smile of the past was gone from that face, replaced by a cold and dignified expression.
The white-clad musician at the lower end raised his cup in congratulations: "Wishing Your Majesty a resounding victory and the eternal stability of the Great Qi!" In stark contrast to his words, his face, contorted with rage and indignation, was filled with sarcasm.
An Jin's face immediately darkened, but because she had kept her emotions hidden for many years, no one noticed anything different. Only Wan Ran and Wan Ning, who served by her side, were clear about it.
An Jin stared at the musician for a while before finally breaking into a smile: "I wondered who was playing the zither there, but I never expected it to be Young Master Su. I believe that with Young Master Su's sincere congratulations, our Great Qi will surely be able to conquer Nanwu soon."
The eunuch tactfully poured An Jin another cup of wine. The white-robed young master Su's hand, hidden in his sleeve, trembled slightly. He glanced at An Jin, his eyes filled with deepening hatred.
After the banquet, Wanran stepped forward to help the half-drunk, half-awake An Jin to her feet. A tear rolled down An Jin's cheek. She murmured, "He hates me? Ha, he hates me? Ha, hehe, what right does he have to hate me?"
Wanran coldly said, "Your Majesty, your fate with Young Master Su has long since ended."
“Yes, it’s long over.” An Jin smiled, staggering forward, gradually shedding the last bit of weakness, leaving only the pride of an emperor.
