"You knew I would blame you, but you still did this. Why?" As soon as An Qingran woke up, many things became clear to her. This was not the imperial palace, and Rendong was not too panicked when she woke up. He had fainted, but she was fine, and even changed her clothes. How could she believe it if she said she had nothing to do with this?
Honeysuckle didn't dare to look into her eyes, she just knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Miss, I don't have the face to see you again..."
"Lindong, I have always regarded you as a sister..." When she said this, An Qingran was filled with emotion. In the last life, she treated her cruelly. In this life, she treated her very well with a compensatory mentality. At least she felt that she had done her best. But why did she betray herself?
An Qingran's eyes were filled with disappointment, and she sat back on the bed dejectedly: "Well, tell me, where is this? Who are you working for?"
"Miss, I'm not doing this for anyone. I just felt soft-hearted for a moment..." Honeysuckle's voice got weaker and weaker. She was also tortured by guilt and was about to go crazy. So she knelt there and sobbed softly, "Miss, can you forgive me?"
"Tell me who that person is." An Qingran felt hurt and angry, so she wouldn't forgive her easily. She was also worried about where she was. She didn't know how worried Dongfang Jin must be after he knew she was missing.
And there are her parents. She had just dealt with the matters of the General's Mansion. How could she bear a bigger blow?
And why was she "invited" here at this moment?
She has been in the general's mansion for half a month. Could something big have happened?
After thinking of all the possibilities, she was completely confused.
If he was really taken hostage, then Dongfang Jin would be defeated no matter what.
Prince Ning and his wife could have so much food threatened, what about himself and his children?
She thought of this and took a deep breath: "Still not telling me? Honeysuckle?"
"Miss, it's..."
"You don't even call me Crown Princess?"
"Crown Princess... yes, it's Prince Dongfang." Ren Dong looked up at her, biting her lip. "I thought the prince just wanted to talk to you, but now it seems that this place is so remote that it's not as simple as just talking. I was too stupid to harm the Crown Princess. My life is yours. If the prince really wants to harm you, I will send the message at the risk of my life."
"Dongfang Run?" An Qingran asked back. In fact, she was not surprised. The previous investigation pointed out that Prince Shou was the biological son of the Queen Mother. Think about it, if the Queen Mother did not want Emperor Yunqi to seize the throne from her biological son, then she would definitely plan with Prince Shou to seize the throne.
So, he really wanted to take himself as a hostage.
"Miss, I really thought that the prince only wanted to talk to you. I felt that he was really pitiful, so..." Honeysuckle explained helplessly. She also felt that she might have made a huge mistake.
An Qingran sat down, her face changed. Why would Dongfang Run want to talk to her so simply?
How is that possible.
Looking at her confused look, Rendong felt more and more that she had done something wrong. She didn't even want to beg for mercy. She felt that her crime was unforgivable, so she knelt there and cried blankly.
"Where is this?" An Qingran finally spoke, her voice still faint. If Rendong had revealed even a little bit of the secret to her before, things wouldn't have ended up in this uncontrollable situation.
"Replying to the Crown Princess, this is outside the capital, but I have no idea where this is. At first I thought we were in the capital, but then I argued with those people and was knocked unconscious. But before I was knocked unconscious I saw us leaving the city..." Honeysuckle bit her lips, which were already bleeding.
An Qingran sighed: "Get up!"
Honeysuckle hesitated for a moment, still kneeling there, she was punishing herself. This incident had left a thorn in her heart, which was slowly bleeding.
Seeing her like this, An Qingran pushed the door open and went out. The two teams of maids at the door saw her come out and bowed without saying a word.
"I want to see Dongfang Run." An Qingran said directly.
After saying that, she turned back to the house and sat there quietly.
Ren Dong stood up, poured a glass of water and brought it to An Qingran: "Crown Princess, you have been sleeping for a long time, would you like some water?"
An Qingran did not take the glass of water. Rendong's expression changed again and again: "Miss, I won't hurt you..."
An Qingran still had a gloomy expression. It was not a question of whether it would be harmful or not. Her stupidity had already gotten her into trouble. Who knew if there would be a next time?
Honeysuckle put the glass of water aside, took a step back, stood there silently, staring at her toes.
Soon, footsteps were heard and an elegant figure in white walked in. It was Dongfang Run.
An Qingran did not stand up, but just looked at him scrutinizingly. Dongfang Run looked a little haggard, but in good spirits. His beautiful eyes were bright and clear. When he saw her, his eyes softened noticeably: "Qingran, you're looking for me?"
"Logically, you should call me the Emperor's sister-in-law or the Crown Princess, right?" An Qingran pulled up a faint smile, her eyes just as clear.
Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Dongfang Run's face.
He didn't expect An Qingran to be so ruthless, but then he said, "How are you? If you feel uncomfortable, I'll go get a doctor."
"I would like to ask a few questions, and I hope that Mr. Dongfang can answer them truthfully." An Qingran did not continue to call him Prince Dongfang because she vaguely guessed something.
Dongfang Run nodded: "You ask."
"You invited me here, can you tell me the truth about what happened outside?"
"I just want to ensure your safety." Dongfang Run thought for a moment and said carefully.
"Could it be that Master Dongfang has rebelled? Otherwise, how dare he kidnap the Crown Princess..." An Qingran smiled bitterly and continued, "I just don't know what price Master Dongfang has offered."
Dongfang Run's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "Qingran, I will never hurt you, believe me."
Honeysuckle in the corner shook when he heard this, and then instantly calmed down.
But no one knows what she is thinking at this moment.
An Qingran smiled: "Hearing you say that, it seems that the price has not been set yet. But over the years, has Emperor Yunqi been bad to you? Why do you want to rebel? Do you really want to be the emperor so much?"
The question is too direct, it's a bloody reality.
Dongfang Run frowned slightly. His father had asked him this question before, but he didn't want to answer it. Now he didn't know how to answer it, so he just said faintly, "Do you really hate me that much?"
An Qingran sighed, "No, I have never hated you, but I don't recognize you now. Dongfang Run, if you still care about our previous family ties and friendships, I hope you will stop now. I will plead with the emperor to spare the death penalty for Shou Wangfu Yizhi."
Dongfang Run looked at An Qingran's beautiful face and his heart was moved. If he were the prince, if he got the throne, then she would become his woman!
He didn't have such a strong desire before, but now that he saw her, all his longing for her became a sea, a sea that had burst its dam and could no longer be controlled.
Therefore, when he faced her again, he was even more determined.
So he couldn't answer her question.
Instead, he sat gracefully on the chair next to him.
Seeing this, An Qingran understood. She nodded slightly and said, "Has the war started?"
"Not yet. The Queen Mother has already announced the fact. Prince Shou is the bloodline of the late emperor. Please ask Emperor Yunqi to write an edict of abdication." Dongfang Run did not hide it from her.
An Qingran was afraid of upsetting him, so she didn't ask about Dongfang Jin.
Instead, he asked, "Where's my cousin? Is she okay?"
When Lou Wanyue was mentioned, Dongfang Run pondered for a moment: "Fortunately... she has given birth to a son. I named him Dongfang Xin."
"Really? That's great! Mother and child are safe, right?" An Qingran was genuinely happy, even though they were enemies from now on.
"Yes, mother and child are safe."
An Qingran thought for a moment and said, "The child was born prematurely? I remember it was still a month before the due date."
"Yes, because... because of the bumpy ride, the baby was born prematurely, but the baby is fine and strong."
"Congratulations to you and my cousin for conveying my words." An Qingran breathed a sigh of relief. Giving birth to a child was like going through the gates of hell, and now her cousin didn't have to worry anymore.
Dongfang Run smiled indifferently when he heard her congratulations.
An Qingran stroked her belly. She didn't believe that Dongfang Run wanted to marry a pregnant woman. He must be doing it to save face. In addition, the empress dowager must have a lot of factors involved. Although she didn't understand it very well, judging from what happened, the empress dowager was definitely not an ordinary person, and they had been prepared. She was very worried about Dongfang Jin, and Emperor Yunqi's health was not good. Now that the empress dowager had announced it to the world, there was no way to escape the poisoning of Queen Yun and Dongfang Jin. It must have been her doing.
Emperor Yunqi would probably also think of this and must be very sad.
No matter what, you must be strong.
For the children.
"Then how long do you plan to keep me locked up?" An Qingran asked again.
"Just rest assured and take care of your health. I will send someone to protect you." Dongfang Run answered a question that was not related to the question.
An Qingran knew that if he didn't want to talk, it would be useless for her to ask.
He took a deep breath and stood up: "Then, I will send you off, Master Dongfang."
Dongfang Run wanted to say something, but seeing her like this, he had to stand up. He looked at Ren Dong and said, "Ren Dong, if you need anything, just tell the people outside."
Honeysuckle was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I obey your command."
After saying this, he felt something was wrong. If he answered like this, wouldn't it mean that he was considered his master?
She glanced at An Qingran stealthily, feeling extremely depressed and afraid that she would never be forgiven again.
The master must hate himself.
Dongfang Run didn't think too much and turned and left.
An Qingran followed him all the way to the gate of the courtyard and took the opportunity to look at the terrain. The courtyard was not big, and there were undulating mountains not far away. It was definitely not in the city.
