"What's going on?" Zhou Zhipeng asked the two of them, puzzled.
"The Prince is back." Madam Qin stood up lazily, looking at Zhou Zhipeng, who looked somewhat travel-worn, and wondered if he knew or didn't know that his precious daughter had been imprisoned.
However, she would never say those words aloud.
Qin bowed and sat down in her previous spot, not intending to speak again.
Consort Ru, standing to the side, was very anxious, but dared not speak rashly.
Seeing that Qin had sat down and showed no intention of continuing to speak, she could only bite her lip and look at Zhou Zhipeng beside her, looking like she was about to cry but was holding back.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhipeng was initially quite angry, but seeing his beloved concubine's face, which looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
She did soften her heart a little after all.
"Your Highness, please save Huilan!" Consort Ru quickly knelt down, crying in front of Zhou Zhipeng, her voice filled with sorrow and tears.
Looking at Consort Ru, whose face was streaked with tears, Zhou Zhipeng turned to Qin Shi with displeasure and asked, "What did you do to her?"
Qin was already displeased, and now, being questioned by Zhou Zhipeng like this, she narrowed her eyes and asked, "What does Your Highness think I have done?"
"Your Highness, it's not my sister, it's...it's..." Consort Ru bit her lip, looking as if she wanted to say something but couldn't, which brought Zhou Zhipeng's anger to its peak.
"What kind of behavior is this, stammering like that? What happened to Huilan? Qin Shi, did you do something to Huilan?" Zhou Zhipeng thought that Qin Shi did not like Huilan, so he would not be surprised if she had done something to her.
However, there should be limits to misbehaving, so as not to harm children.
Huilan was just a child.
"Your Highness, I can't take the blame for this. As for what happened to Huilan, shouldn't my sister tell you properly?" Qin looked at the man with sarcasm, thinking to herself, he does know who to side with.
She actually felt that she had done something terrible to Zhou Huilan. Is she that kind of person?
"Consort Ru, tell the truth!" Zhou Zhipeng looked at Consort Ru, who was crying bitterly, and asked again.
Consort Ru wanted to continue keeping it a secret, but she knew even better that her daughter couldn't wait a moment longer.
"Your Highness, Huilan has been imprisoned by Prince An! Your Highness, please save Huilan!" Consort Ru knelt directly in front of Zhou Zhipeng, crying out in sorrow.
Zhou Zhipeng, who was about to bend down and help the person up, suddenly froze.
His hand froze in mid-air.
What did he hear?
Did Prince An imprison Zhou Huilan?
"That bastard, what has she done?" Zhou Zhipeng asked angrily.
"Your Highness, you must go and demand justice from Prince An, and make him compensate our Lan'er for her losses. Our Lan'er has suffered greatly this time." Consort Ru was overjoyed upon hearing this, feeling that with Zhou Zhipeng taking revenge, her daughter would be back soon.
Perhaps the people in the government office will send the daughter back.
"Your Highness is referring to what Huilan did!" Qin Shi had to remind Consort Ru, who was still excitedly talking to herself.
He thought to himself, "What an idiot! He can't even understand what's good or bad."
I really don't know how she won the prince's favor and became a concubine.
With a brain like that, it's only thanks to her going to Wuyang City that she survived for three years; otherwise, it would be questionable whether she could even live for three years.
"Huilan..." Consort Ru was about to explain when she realized that Qin was referring to what her daughter had done that displeased the prince.
"Sister, even if you don't like Huilan, you can't slander her like this!" Now that Consort Ru had Zhou Zhipeng backing her up, she didn't take Qin Shi seriously and instead spoke sarcastically.
