To be honest, An Qingran was not very satisfied with what had happened. This incident did not reveal the sinister things that Lian Jinrong and An Yanran had done behind the scenes, nor did it completely remove them from power in the General's Mansion. Moreover, An Yanran would also marry into Prince Kang's Mansion. She knew that as long as her father stepped in, this matter would definitely have a result. The Emperor could not possibly not give face to the general who guards the country. However, the good thing was that in this life, An Yanran would not become the Princess of Kang, but at most a concubine!
Then her children can only be born out of wedlock. It won’t be easy for them to ascend to the throne in Prince Kang’s Mansion. She has fought enough battles to turn things around. Let’s see if she still has the energy to fight with me!
The inner courtyard of the imperial palace.
Concubine Shu was sitting on the phoenix couch, her brows were frowning and she was faintly angry. Prince Kang was standing on the ground, his face also full of anger.
Concubine Shu left with everyone that day. Although she was with everyone, until she returned to the palace, she didn't even know what happened to Prince Kang because no one told her.
After Prince Kang returned, she also got the news and asked Prince Kang to come and see her directly.
She looked at her son and finally said after a while, "Is the rumor true?"
Dongfang Ye nodded, his face turning red and white. To be honest, he didn't know how he got back from the general's mansion. He recalled everything along the way and came to the final conclusion that his aunt and cousin had actually plotted against him and ruined his reputation in front of everyone. He originally had a good impression of An Yanran, but he didn't expect her to be so scheming!
He also hated himself. Why didn't he realize that they were plotting against him?
Why is he so stupid?
Concubine Shu looked at her son, feeling ashamed and angry. This incident would be a scandal in the capital. How could she hold her head up in the palace? The emperor didn't know about it yet. If he knew, how would she explain it?
"What's going on?" Concubine Shu said anxiously, "I have told you many times that if I marry, I want to marry An Qingran. Although An Yanran is your cousin, she is a concubine after all. Her status in the general's mansion is not high. Even among relatives, she is not as high as An Qingran and her daughter. You know that the Lian Mansion and the Lou Mansion are inextricably linked to An Qingran. If it's An Yanran, will she have such a big face?"
"Mother, this matter is a bit strange. An Yanran asked her son to go to Wangyue Tower, and then my aunt actually brought a large group of people to find the place. If they hadn't made arrangements in advance, how could this happen?" Prince Kang was extremely angry now, but he had nothing to hide from his own mother.
"What did you say? Tell me exactly what happened!" Concubine Shu got angry when she heard this, but she suppressed her anger. How could she be schemed against by someone, and by Lian Jinrong?
She felt that she had never treated her unfairly, so why did she do this?
Prince Kang told her everything that happened. Concubine Shu also recalled that Lian Jinrong suddenly wanted to look for An Qingran. At that time, she was very surprised. When did Lian Jinrong care about An Qingran so much? But she didn't expect it to be like this. Speaking of this matter, it was their plan. There was no other possibility!
Thinking of this, Concubine Shu couldn't sit still any longer: "I should ask Lian Jinrong to come to the palace immediately. I should ask her what's going on."
She remembered the last time she came to her and tried to persuade her son to marry her daughter, but she did not agree. It was obvious that she was too anxious.
How dare she!
Aren’t you afraid that I will try my best to stop it?
Concubine Shu was furious: "This matter is the fault of mother and daughter. I will report to your father and ask him to make the decision for you!"
King Kang sighed: "Will my father believe me?"
"Why? Aren't you telling me the truth?"
"It's completely true, but my son just received news that An Yanran has told the people in the general's mansion that I forced her to do this, that it was me who made the appointment with her, and that she is not strong enough?" When King Kang said this, he was almost going crazy.
"What?" Concubine Shu laughed in anger, "Amazing, at such a young age, she has such skills, it's incredible!"
She was speaking sarcastically.
She was so angry that she almost went crazy: "I want to see Lian Jinrong and her daughter right now!"
"Mother, aren't we too proactive? They did something wrong, and outsiders don't know about it, but don't we know about it? They don't give us an explanation, so how can we be so easily taken advantage of?"
"Will they give us an explanation?" Concubine Shu thought for a moment and sighed, "Son, you think too simply. If we don't do anything, we won't be able to bear the rumors. The spit will drown us. Your father doesn't like people who have no sense of responsibility. So, even if you are angry, you have to marry her!"
"I won't marry her!" King Kang said angrily.
Concubine Shu looked at her son, her heart was in a mess. If this matter was not handled properly, it would be no joke. If it was a child from an ordinary family, she could completely prevent her from entering the house. However, precisely because they were the kings of the royal family, their actions could not be criticized. The mistake had already been made, and they could only ask how to make up for it. If they did well, they could still save the situation. Otherwise, her and Prince Kang's status in the palace would be worrying. Originally, Prince Kang was a good child in the eyes of the emperor. He was at least much better behaved than the prince. The prince had a reputation for being a playboy but not domineering, and the emperor sometimes had no way to deal with him.
However, Prince Kang has never caused any trouble for the royal family. He has always been positive, and the emperor admires him very much. But now, I wonder what the emperor thinks.
Can she tell the emperor that Prince Kang was framed?
How could the emperor believe it? A little girl captured him? And he could have left at that time, and nothing would have happened!
So, no matter how you talk about it, it's all unpleasant to hear!
Looking at Prince Kang's expression, Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Just marry her. She's just a concubine. If you don't want to see her, just keep her in the room. Who will know?"
"Her? She's so insidious at such a young age. My son has to be on guard when he leaves her in the yard!"
"What? Are you scared of a little girl like her? Do you know what you will face in the future?" Concubine Shu said meaningfully.
Prince Kang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then asked: "Mother, do I really have to marry her?"
Concubine Shu sighed and frowned, "Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. Let them be nervous for a while and have a taste of how upset we are!"
King Kang remained silent.
He felt very unhappy about having to marry An Yanran. If it was in the past, it would be fine, but now, he hated her very much, and also hated her mother!
Could it be that King Kang was being held hostage by them?
