mediately put on a pitiful expression, "A Jing, my brother bullied me, you have to save me, he hurt me!""..."Feng Ming first knew that his sister was so good at acting pitiful!Though he was clutching...The next day
When An Xuetang got up, Mo Yunjing was still there. She raised an eyebrow, "A-Jing, aren't you going to court today"
She knew the emperor wouldn't let this go so easily, and would find any way to squeeze her family's Ajing.
Mo Yunjing reached out and gently tucked the stray strands of hair from her forehead, his low and magnetic voice resonating, "I'll accompany you today."
The emperor, who knows what he's up to, isn't going today. This is a perfect opportunity to have someone keep an eye on him and see what he's really trying to do.
An Xuetang knew he must have a plan, so she didn't ask any further. The two of them got up to wash and eat.
Feng Ming was here today, which was rare. After dinner, An Xue Tang wanted to say something to Feng Ming, but Yun Si came over at that moment. His expression was rather solemn.
Mo Yunjing frowned slightly, "What's the matter"
"Your Highness, Your Royal Majesty, the Miss from the House of Anle... committed suicide."
"...."
An Xuetang's hand, which was just about to lift the cup of water, froze mid-air. Her brow furrowed slightly, and she was deeply puzzled.
Didn't she already promise Xiaoqin
Moreover, Xiaoqin doesn't seem like such a foolish person. How could she commit suicide
Mo Yunjing didn't show much expression. He just calmly asked, "Is he dead"
Yun Si shook his head slightly, "The subordinate I sent to investigate hasn't returned yet. The news of Xiaoqin County Lord's suicide came from a servant who went shopping just now. He heard it on the road, knowing that our Wangfu had some connection with the Anle Houfu, so he came back and told me."
An Xuetang had been a little worried at first, but upon hearing Yun Si's words, she narrowed her eyes slightly and felt relieved.
Xiao Qin should be fine, and the news of suicide is probably deliberately leaked by someone to their family's purchasing servant.
Thinking of this, An Xuetang's lips unconsciously curled into a sneer. It seemed that helping Xiaoqin wasn't a matter of whether they were willing or not. Right now, someone was forcing their hand.
This person must be Jiang Qingyang without a doubt, but I wonder what he did to make Xiao Qin want to commit suicide.
An Xuetang looked at Mo Yunjing, "A-Jing, I'm going to take a trip to the Anle Hou Mansion."
She wants to see what Xiaoqin is thinking now.
"Feng Ming beside him shook his head slightly, "I'm afraid you want to go to Anle Hou's mansion, and you also want to pay a visit to the Ye family"
An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile, "As expected, my brother knows me best."
Mo Yunjing and Feng Ming helplessly glanced at each other. Since An Xuetang wanted to be involved in this matter, even if they tried to stop her, it would be useless, and they might as well help her.
Feng Ming sighed, "Seems like I have to pretend to be a renowned healer for my brother"
An Xuetang chuckled, "My older brother is indeed very understanding."
She can't go to the Ye family as the Princess of Beijiang directly. Since she's going to treat Ye Er, let her brother pretend to be a mysterious and highly skilled physician.
Now that they had a plan, An Xuetang said she would leave immediately. While Bai Feng and his people hadn't had a chance to recover yet, she needed to get things done. The recent calm was unsettling her.
The calmer things were now, the more she felt that something serious was about to happen.
After tidying up, An Xue Tang took Ning'er and the others to Anle Houfu.
Lord Anle and Lady Anle were in Xiaoqin's room. Xiaoqin had indeed attempted suicide; she no longer had the will to live.
But her maidservant discovered it last night in time, and she ultimately didn't die.
Although Xiao Qin was still alive, at this moment lying in bed, she seemed to have lost all vitality. She looked very listless and just stared blankly upwards. No matter who spoke to her, she didn't respond, as if she hadn't heard a thing.
Although Madam Hou was usually strict with Xiaoqin, she truly loved and cared for her daughter. Seeing Xiaoqin like this, she wept uncontrollably.
Hou Anle looked at his wife, then at his daughter, a deep sense of helplessness washing over him.
"Qin'er, why don't you say a word to your mother Don't scare your mother, okay You don't want to marry into the Ye family, father and I know, please don't think about it anymore. Mother will definitely find a way, and she will definitely stop you from marrying into the Ye family, okay Mother just asks you not to seek death again. If you die, what should your mother do..."
Mrs. Hou was still crying as she persuaded Xiaoqin, who lay on the bed, but no matter what she said or how heartbroken her cries were, Xiaoqin remained lifeless, staring blankly upward.
It was because of her like this that Lord and Lady Anle were afraid, for fear that if they weren't careful, the child would commit suicide again.
At that moment, the steward came to report that the Princess of Beijang had arrived.
Lord Anle was taken aback, and before he could say anything, his wife, Lady Hou, visibly became agitated. She impatiently instructed the steward, "Quickly, quickly, go and invite Princess Beijang over."
The steward glanced at Duke Anle, seeing he had no objection, so he responded with a nod and hurried off to invite the Princess of Beijang.
Anlehou came to his senses and, looking at the excited Houfu, he frowned and sighed, "Madam, it's best not to make things difficult for King Beijang and Princess Beijang. We both know very well that King Beijang owes us nothing."
Madam Hou's eyes were filled with tears. "But...but I can't just stand by and watch Qin'er get into trouble. Right now, if we don't ask the Northern Border King for help, what other options do we have"
The logic is as follows, but Lord Anle feels that this matter shouldn't trouble King Beijiang. Everyone knows very well that the marriage between Xiaoqin and the Ye family is difficult to cancel.
The current emperor and the head of the Ye family are friends, the kind who tell each other everything and scheme together about anything.
As long as the Ye family doesn't relent, how could the emperor possibly let Xiaoqin go After all, this involves a human life!
But to watch his own daughter commit suicide, or to watch her marry into the Ye family, he truly couldn't bear it.
Finally, Duke Anle said nothing until Princess Bei Jiang entered the room.
Lord Anle and Lady Anle bowed to An Xuetang. An Xuetang walked up to Lady Anle and helped her up with her own hands, "My lord and lady, please don't be so courteous."
An Xue Tang had just helped the Countess up when the Countess suddenly knelt down again. This caught An Xue Tang off guard.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to put you in a difficult position either, but...but I'm truly desperate. Right now, I can only beg you, Your Majesty, please save our daughter Qin'er."
An Xuetang sighed helplessly, she glanced at Ning'er beside her.
Ning'er understood and walked over to help Lady Hou up. Lady Hou was unwilling, but upon hearing An Xue Tang say, "I came here today for this very reason, Madam. Please stand up first. We need to consider this matter carefully," she agreed.
Listening to An Xue Tang's words, Madam Hou widened her eyes, apparently not expecting An Xue Tang to be so willing to lend them a hand.
An Xuetang glanced thoughtfully at Xiao Qin on the bed, then asked An Lehou and Madam Hou to sit down first. The few of them discussed how to deal with what was to come. Madam Hou want"What we want in compensation is actually very simple. Lord Ye should be quite clear that Xiao Qin has two elder brothers, who have been living well in the capital all along. One is the...
