Chapter 28 Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife

She once saw a hairpin on Concubine Liu's head. The hairpin was a family heirloom worn by General An's mother, and it should be left to her as the legal wife.

She asked An Qing why he gave the hairpin to Concubine Liu, but An Qing said that the hairpin was too cheap and not worthy of her, so he gave it to someone else.

He would return home on time on the ninth day of the seventh lunar month every year, and then quietly go to Concubine Liu's yard at night.

For more than ten years, rain or shine, she thought it was just a coincidence, but over time, she also noticed some problems.

After inquiring, she learned that the ninth day of the seventh lunar month was Concubine Liu's birthday.

Obviously, General An never remembered her birthday

There are too many more.

Those small details gradually weaved into a web, making Madam An a little breathless.

In the years since the two got married, she has always pretended to be ignorant for the sake of her children.

She thought that it was because Aunt Liu looked charming and gentle, and much younger than she looked, that General An would focus on her.

As long as life could go on, she could make do with it.

But now this matter is like a thorn in her heart.

An Yunxi is her Achilles' heel, and she will never allow anyone to hurt her, not even General An.

In order to threaten An Yunxi, he said in public that he would sever the father-daughter relationship with her, which really hurt Madam An's heart.

Seeing that Madam An was not listening, Madam Du left angrily with the eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion.

When Marquis Anguo came back from seeing off the guests, he saw Madam An sitting in the room with a bad face, and immediately asked, "Linglan, what happened to you?"

Madam An asked someone to dress her up, changed into clean clothes, and put on some powder to cover up her slightly weak complexion.

"Brother, I have to go back to the general's mansion."

Marquis Anguo was stunned, and hurriedly said, "There are so many empty rooms in the mansion, and you don't need to worry about the old lady and the others. I'll have someone watch them and don't let them come over to disturb you while you recover."

Hearing this, Madam An couldn't help but smile at her brother's gentle and caring voice.

"Thank you for your kindness, brother, but I am the mistress of the general's mansion. If I stay outside for too long, I am afraid that someone will turn over and become the mistress."

An Guohou heard the meaning of Mrs. An's words, "Then wait until you get better..."

Mrs. An shook her head: "Let's go, take me back."

An Yunxi and Ling Fengxun got on the carriage back to the mansion. As a result, the carriage stopped at the gate of the prince's mansion, and they saw that the gate was extremely lively.

"Prince, you are finally back. It was Eunuch Wu from the palace who came in person to deliver the

imperial edict." Ling Fengxun's face sank slightly when he heard the word "imperial edict".

He glanced at An Yunxi and said to her: "Axi, you go in first."

There was no need to guess, An Yunxi knew why Eunuch Wu delivered the imperial edict.

The prince must have filed a complaint after returning. Now the emperor already knows the whole story and will definitely find trouble with Ling Fengxun.

How could it be so easy to just ignore the kidnapping of the future crown princess?

Seeing Ling Fengxun about to get off the carriage, An Yunxi grabbed his wrist, her expression very solemn, "Prince, take me to the palace with you. I want to meet the emperor. The imperial edict must also require me to go with you. If I don't go, wouldn't it be disobedience?"

Ling Fengxun heard this, his eyes deep: "It doesn't matter, I will explain to my brother."

If the explanation is useful, then there is no need for royal law.

An Yunxi knew that Ling Fengxun did this to protect her, no matter if he had selfish motives or other purposes, in this life, An Yunxi did not intend to hide behind Ling Fengxun and let him face the storm alone.

"It is my wish to marry the prince, and the matter of breaking off the engagement was brought up because of me. If I am not present, the breaking off of the engagement will be illegal, so Yunxi must explain it clearly!"

She spoke in a firm voice and looked at Ling Fengxun with firm eyes.

Ling Fengxun's eyes flashed slightly, and the man was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly.

He was trying to believe An Yunxi again and again.

All her reactions were quite novel experiences for Ling Fengxun now.

"The king will take you with him."

Eunuch Wu had been waiting for a long time.

He was dressed in the clothes of a eunuch, holding a duster in his hand, with a clean-shaven face and a plump face. When

he saw the Regent King coming, he immediately showed a flattering smile, and did not even read the imperial edict, but directly handed it over respectfully.

"Your Highness, the Emperor invites you to the palace, probably because he is angry about you taking away the Crown Princess."

While speaking, Eunuch Wu carefully looked at An Yunxi.

I don't know how charming this future Crown Princess is, but she actually made the current Regent King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince compete for her. Ling Fengxun

took the imperial edict, opened it, scanned it, and then threw it to the servant beside him.

The servant hurriedly took the imperial edict, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"Enter the palace."

With just two simple words, Eunuch Wu quickly led a large group of people to welcome the prince and the grand master, and asked the two to get on the carriage they had prepared.

On the carriage, An Yunxi sat quietly beside Ling Fengxun, and they were surrounded by guards sent by the palace.

Ling Fengxun's aura was a little cold, and he remained silent.

As the carriage bumped, it was getting closer and closer to the palace.

An Yunxi suddenly stretched out her hand and placed it in Ling Fengxun's palm.

The soft touch was warm, and her body also exuded a faint fragrance that was hard to describe, which smelled very good.

Ling Fengxun glanced to the side, and his eyes met An Yunxi's. He saw the girl's eyes were bright, and she was smiling, looking at him without any tension.

"Your Majesty, you don't look very well. Can you tell Yunxi why you are nervous?"

She felt her fingers suddenly being tightly grasped.

Ling Fengxun exerted force on his hands and pulled her into his arms.

"I am wondering whether it is right or wrong to bring you into the palace."

If he locked someone up at home, he would not mind no matter how many storms there were outside.

Anyway, he would just take on all the challenges.

The worst case scenario would be a lose-lose situation, and he was not afraid of anything. However

, the current changes were completely different from his original plan. He was afraid that An Yunxi would escape from his control, making his preparations useless and ending up with nothing.

Ling Fenghuan could never accept this result.

His fingers fell on the back of An Yunxi's neck, as if only this could soothe his slightly anxious mood at this moment.

An Yunxi leaned obediently in his arms, her beautiful eyes moving, "Since the prince has made a bet, I will not let the prince lose."

She spoke tenderly, lowered her head slightly, and kissed the back of his hand lightly.

This kiss was soothing, and as expected, it made Ling Fengxun's tense muscles relax slightly.

The carriage stopped abruptly.

They arrived at the palace.

Eunuch Wu led the way respectfully and led the two to the Yangxin Palace.

This was not the first time An Yunxi came here, and there was no tension on her face. However, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Prince Ling Changyue standing in the middle of the Yangxin Palace, who also turned around and looked into her eyes.
