Mu Ange stood there, stunned, staring at her, and stammered, "You... why are you bleeding?"
An Ning suddenly grabbed his sleeve: "Shut up and give me the antidote."
She's always had this temper; she likes to swear when she's in a bad mood.
When Chen Xun came in, he stared wide-eyed in disbelief as the little eunuch cursed at his third master.
Third Master, as if possessed, blankly accepted the antidote and fed it to the little eunuch.
'What? What's going on?'
After taking the medicine, Anning was finally half-dead, but her lower abdomen was still aching.
"What's wrong? My stomach still hurts so much. Is this medicine fake?"
An Ning glanced at Mu Ange, only to see him standing there, pointing at himself, and saying, "Could it be because you're bleeding?"
An Ning was slightly taken aback, looked down, and her face instantly turned bright red: 'Damn it, my period started, and it had to happen at a time like this...'
"I...I...I want to go back to the palace. Can you give me a ride?"
Mu Ange refused decisively: "No."
An Ning stared at him with wide eyes: "Why?"
Mu Ange said earnestly, "You will stay in my residence to receive treatment. Once you are better, I will send you back to the palace."
An Ning was speechless: This guy thought he was injured.
"It's okay, you can go out first, I... I can handle it myself."
Looking at his pale face, Mu Ange was very worried: "I don't think you're very capable."
Just as the two were at an impasse, Chen Xun stepped forward and whispered in Mu Ange's ear, "Your Highness, there is news about that woman."
Mu Ange was overjoyed: "I will go right away."
Halfway there, he hurriedly left Anning with a message: "Take care of yourself."
Watching his hurried figure, An Ning said with a hint of sourness:
'Damn it, he's off with his sweetheart, hasn't he?'
However, with him gone, An Ning felt more at ease dealing with her menstrual cycle.
She changed out of her clothes, only to find that there were no suitable clothes for her in the entire mansion. She tried on Mu Ange's clothes, and good heavens, it looked like a dwarf wearing a gorilla's coat.
I had no choice but to sneak into Sister Yun's room and find something to wear.
To his surprise, as soon as he stepped out of the house, a woman blocked his way.
She was dressed in a bizarrely strange way, with bright red lips that looked as if she had just drunk someone's blood.
She looked Anning up and down with disdain: "Oh, which remote and impoverished place did the prince rescue you from?"
An Ning understood immediately; this person had mistaken her for Mu Ange's concubine.
But she is in unbearable pain in her lower abdomen, so I don't want to talk to her. I just want to drink some hot water and lie in bed without moving.
So he ignored her completely and walked straight ahead.
Unexpectedly, she stepped forward and blocked Anning's path.
An Ning was annoyed and reached out to push her away, but the push caused her to fall to the ground. The next second, she started crying and shouting, "Help! Help! Is there no law anymore? How dare you attack me? I am a favorite in the Prince's mansion. Let me tell you, you can just wait to be executed by the Prince."
An Ning looked down at her hands, her brows furrowing slightly: "Can you make your acting even more fake? Shouldn't we avoid this kind of clichéd palace intrigue at a time like this?"
"What happened?"
An Ning was surprised that Mu Ange returned so quickly. He glanced at the woman on the ground and asked.
Before An Ning could speak, the woman began to launch into a frenzied tirade, rambling on and on.
Mu Ange pointed at her and said, "Drag her out and bury her."
An Ning was stunned: ......
The woman looked even more surprised and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, Your Highness, she pushed me first. Your Highness, my leg is all swollen. If you don't believe me, you can ask the maid."
Mu Ange didn't even glance at her, her impatience reaching its peak: "Drag her out too."
peaceful:......
"Your Highness, Your Highness, spare my life!"
The cries of the women and maids for mercy echoed throughout half of the palace, but Mu Ange's face gradually darkened.
It was as if a giant, dark python in the darkness was flicking its scarlet tongue at the ignorant humans.
An Ning looked away uncomfortably, feeling that he was no different from the demon in the rumors.
Are you feeling better?
Mu Ange asked her.
An Ning said, "I feel much better now, I can go back to the palace."
She really didn't want to stay in the Prince's mansion anymore.
Mu Ange suddenly stopped and stared at her for a long time: "You...you look a lot like someone I've met before."
Just as An Ning was filled with doubt, she heard Mu Ange murmur to himself: "She looks just like... my beloved."
An Ning rolled her eyes: Good grief, are you spouting cheesy pickup lines here?
~~
After Anning returned to the palace, a few days later, the scholar exposed the Crown Prince's crimes. However, for some reason, the emperor only summoned the Crown Prince for a lecture and then pretended to punish him with half a month of confinement.
Anning was furious when she heard the news.
She lives in the 21st century and has encountered many people who rose to positions through connections when she was job hunting. She studied diligently for more than ten years, but it was no match for a single word from them. She detests this kind of collusion the most.
In the present Qi Dynasty, the only way for scholars from poor families to rise in the civil service examination is through the imperial examination. However, the atmosphere in the palace is deteriorating, and in the near future, the idea of studying to enter officialdom will probably become a joke.
Whether it was because they had spent so much time together and developed a deep understanding, or something else, Mu Ange came to discuss it with her that very night.
Mu Ange sat on the bed, his expression unchanged.
An Ning was used to it and patted him on the back.
"What should we do? That incompetent emperor doesn't take this matter seriously at all."
Mu Ange was more composed than An Ning: "He only cares about whether he can live forever and enjoy the supreme power and endless glory brought by the emperor."
An Ning looked at him, her dark eyes unfathomable.
In reality, if you really reach that position, it's lonely at the top, and you'll be all alone. It would be very difficult to maintain your original intentions.
"Since he doesn't want to get involved, let's make a big scene and force him to take action."
Mu Ange suddenly chuckled.
An Ning raised an eyebrow: "What are you laughing at?"
Mu Ange suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "That's exactly what I'm thinking."
An Ning was energized: "We can release this news first, which will surely cause a huge uproar among those students. When the situation gets out of control, the emperor will have to give an explanation to the world."
Mu Ange nodded: "Okay."
An Ning continued, "Your Highness, during this time you can also observe secretly. If there are any scholars who can be of great use, you can take the opportunity to win them over. I have been by the Emperor's side for quite some time now, and there are many people in the court who are loyal to the Emperor."
Mu Ange raised her eyes, her gaze flickering slightly, and looked at her: "Okay."
An Ning turned around and looked, only to see that pair of dark eyes filled with the feelings of a staff member!
