East Palace.
An Qingran sat upright on the couch and looked at Dongfang Jin: "What about them? Why didn't you save them together?"
Dongfang Jin's face darkened: "I was able to save you in time. Do you know how big an earthquake this prevented?"
An Qingran knew this, so she became even angrier: "Who is it? Who wants to frame me and Dongfang Run?"
In fact, the footsteps that Dongfang Run heard were exactly those of Dongfang Jin. At that time, he was holding the semi-conscious An Qingran in his arms. His mind was racing, and he thought that the only way was to take An Qingran away.
He looked at the group of women walking towards him and felt scared. If he had not arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
He didn't blame An Qingran, because he saw the situation clearly at a glance.
But I don’t know who is the mastermind behind this.
An Qingran woke up after returning to the East Palace. Dongfang Jin briefly told her what happened. An Qingran was very worried about Dongfang Run and Lou Wanyue.
At this moment, all the people who came to attend the coming-of-age ceremony had left, and Dongfang Ruoxue also left.
Dongfang Jin was just seeing off the guests when he found that the hostess was missing. He asked Rendong, and fortunately Rendong heard their conversation, so he was able to rush to Qingming Hall in time.
Dongfang Jin heard the question asked by An Qingran and sighed: "It's all possible. Do you still remember what that palace maid looked like?"
An Qingran thought about it and slowly shook her head. They all wore the same clothes and had the same hairstyle. In her eyes, many people looked the same.
Plus, the palace maid walked very fast.
"Go check out the situation and see how they deal with Prince Dongfang and Lou Wanyue. Damn it, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought Lou Wanyue with me..."
At this point, seeing Dongfang Jin's strange look, she quickly said, "I shouldn't go myself, right?"
Dongfang Jin slowly shook his head: "I guess Dongfang Run was also deceived there. No matter how careful he is, he can't escape the conspiracy..."
An Qingran felt relieved when she saw that Dongfang Jin didn't care about this matter. She felt that she was the one who had harmed Dongfang Run so much, and the person behind it must be coming after her, because to deal with Dongfang Run, it didn't have to be in the palace, it would be much more convenient to do it outside.
In fact, Dongfang Jin had already sent someone to inquire about the situation.
He was deep in thought, and so was An Qingran. She pounded the headboard: "Who is it? Who wants to harm me?"
She carefully sorted out the possible candidates in her mind and found that she had a lot of enemies, and many of them were possible candidates.
She couldn't help but curl her lips and smiled coldly. This could be considered a lesson for her. She had lived too comfortably in her married life and forgot that she was in a wolf's den and there was more than one wolf staring at her.
At this moment, she made up her mind that no matter who it was, she would never give anyone a chance in the future.
Soon, news came back that the concubines had returned to their respective palaces, and the details were unknown.
An Qingran was worried and wanted to go out, but Dongfang Jin held her down and went out himself.
An Qingran was sitting in the room, jumping with anger. Fortunately, only Ren Dong saw her expression and stepped forward cautiously: "Crown Princess, please don't be angry. We have encountered more serious things than this before, but we got through it and got better and better. Those who hurt us, none of them had a good ending. I always heard the old people say that hurting others will eventually hurt yourself. Crown Princess, don't worry, those people will eventually show up."
An Qingran stopped and looked at Rendong and smiled: "Yes, that's right. By the way, I was not here when my parents left just now. Send someone to send back the tribute dates and snow pears from the palace. You don't have to tell them that I'm fine. If they ask, just say a few words and say that I'm very busy in the palace now..."
An Qingran was afraid that her parents would worry, and she was also afraid that she would be too revealing and make them suspicious, so she was so cautious.
Honeysuckle took the order and went out.
Murong Lanxin happened to come.
An Qingran was full of doubts, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she smiled and said, "The princess is really free..."
Murong Lanxin smiled widely: "I know today is a good day for you, but I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for the guests, so I waited until this time to come. You don't know how anxious I am!"
"I like the gift you gave me very much." An Qingran didn't know if she was the one who hurt her, but she would do it to entertain the audience.
Murong Lanxin suddenly lowered her voice: "Do you know? I heard that something big happened in the palace today, and it implicated you to some extent."
An Qingran's heart sank: "What's the matter?"
"Qingming Palace, I heard that your friend took the opportunity of attending your coming-of-age ceremony to have a private meeting with someone. This is no small matter. Fortunately, it did not reach the ears of the Empress Dowager. When it came to me, I seized it to prevent the palace maids from talking nonsense." It turned out that Murong Lanxin had bought it.
An Qingran nodded. Things were just as she had imagined. It seemed that Dongfang and Lou Wanyue’s innocence was ruined.
It’s all my fault!
"What's wrong with you? Why are you gritting your teeth like that?"
"I believe that if they want to meet privately, there are many opportunities outside. Why do they have to come to this solemn palace..."
"So what you mean is that there is something wrong here?" Murong Lanxin was very alert.
"I mean, maybe they just happened to be there, maybe they had an appointment with someone else..."
"Well, no matter what, this matter will not end easily." Murong Lanxin sighed, as if she was worried about them.
This surprised An Qingran.
But Murong Lanxin said immediately: "If something happens to them, you can't avoid it. I'm afraid the emperor will be angry with you, and things will be more troublesome. Why don't you explain it to the queen mother now, or let the prince and the emperor clarify it."
An Qingran thought to herself, isn't that just looking for trouble?
You still don't know what's going on, so why don't you just confess?
She told me this stupid plan. If I do as she said, there will be endless troubles. By then, won't people think that she is an insider?
Besides, if it is found out that she was also at the scene, then that would be something to talk about.
"I think it's better to just wait and see what happens on this matter." An Qingran expressed his opinion.
When Murong Lanxin heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything else in the end.
Let's talk about Concubine Shu. After she returned to the palace, she started banging things around and overturned the table. The cups and bowls on the table were broken into pieces on the floor. The palace maids all knelt down, not daring to make a sound.
After the fall, Concubine Shu sat down, her face changing from gloomy to bright. She had thought that this time, she and her son would be able to turn the tables, but she didn't expect that Lou Wanyue would suddenly appear. It was also the servants' fault for not doing their job well. She gritted her teeth and was about to ask someone to call for help, but then she held back and sat there in a daze, not knowing who she hated.
There was clearly nothing wrong with my design, but how come it changed when it came to the battle? Could it be that God was blessing that woman?
If not, she is really lucky.
In fact, Concubine Shu came up with this plan because she accidentally heard Eunuch Huang say that the Emperor sent someone to decree the marriage between Dongfang Run and An Qingran, but it was later stopped by the Crown Prince. If they were together this time, it would at least be considered a rekindled love and the crime would be determined. If the Crown Princess doesn't die, she will be skinned alive. By then, the Crown Prince will suffer another blow. I wonder how much his small body can bear?
The servants clearly reported that An Qingran and Lou Wanyue went there together. She had thought it through at the time that even if there were two of them together, there was still a way. As long as An Qingran and Dongfang Run were together, she could accuse them of adultery.
Concubine Shu racked her brains but couldn't figure out the reason, so she simply gave up. The situation was a bit chaotic anyway, so she decided to see if she could gain some benefits from the chaos.
She finally asked everyone to leave, then called her confidants and gave them a few instructions.
So, the palace maids in the Empress Dowager's palace learned about the situation.
Soon, the people around the emperor also knew what had happened, and he was furious.
Soon, Prince Shou and Dongfang Run entered the palace together. However, when they came out half an hour later, Prince Shou's expression was very relaxed, while Dongfang Run still looked calm, but with a hint of sadness lingering on his brows, which seemed to be there and not there.
The next day, everyone in the capital knew the good news: Dongfang Run proposed to marry Lou Wanyue, and the emperor granted the marriage.
Next, the two families began to prepare for the wedding.
Dongfang Ruoxue certainly knew what had happened. Looking at her brother's frown, she understood what was going on and felt very distressed, but at the same time she was also glad that this coincidence had happened, otherwise her brother would not know when he would get married.
She was also very happy to be able to marry Lou Wanyue, and she felt that this was the best ending.
As for Lou Wanyue, she had no idea what was going on at first, but after the group of women left, she understood what was going on when she saw Dongfang Run's expression. But it was strange that at that moment she did not panic or feel ashamed at all. Instead, she was secretly happy in her heart. She felt that she was blessed by An Qingran.
So, she began to quietly prepare for her wedding. Although she understood that Dongfang Run had no choice but to marry her, she believed that after she married him, she would slowly melt him even if he was a piece of ice.
But she didn't know that her idea was too simple.
Of course, this is all a story for later.
After receiving the good news, An Qingran sat there in a daze for a moment, then smiled: "This is really an unexpected surprise. I think whoever is behind this will be furious after knowing this news."
Dongfang Jin's expression was not so relaxed. He had a gloomy face. The matter was solved without any danger, but the person behind it had not been found out. He could not feel at ease in his heart.
It was just like the fetal poison he had been infected with. After so many years, he still didn't know who caused it. If he could find the answer to this question before he died, he would be able to rest in peace.
Seeing that Dongfang Jin didn't speak, An Qingran walked to his side and took his hand: "What are you thinking about?"
Dongfang Jin came back to his senses and saw his woman standing there coquettishly and shyly. A hint of evil appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I was wondering, should we have our wedding night?"
