Anxin yawned and looked at the yard in front of her with a gloomy expression.
They got up early this morning and didn't arrive at Daxiangguo Temple until dusk fell.
Daxiangguo Temple was originally a royal temple with a strong incense business. Most of the pilgrims were high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The Anguo Mansion even had a special courtyard for living.
However, the side rooms in this courtyard are also divided into good and bad ones.
Among them, only two rooms are the best, and the rest are extremely simple. Logically speaking, because of the old lady's favor, An Xin would live in these two rooms, but this time...
An Xin's heart moved slightly, her eyes rolled, and she took the old lady's hand and said, "Grandma, you and Second Aunt are the elders, you two live in these two rooms, and I will live in this one, okay?"
After hearing this, the second lady was flattered, but she did not dare to agree easily. She just looked at the old lady.
The old lady was startled at first, but then she laughed: "Xin'er has grown up."
Her tone was full of relief, and her eyes curved in a smile, but she felt uneasy in her heart.
In the book, because An Xin's reputation was damaged, she was not allowed to go to Daxiangguo Temple. Therefore, the only two rooms were naturally occupied by the elders, and An Rou lived in the room next to the wall.
And the prince of the enemy country climbed over the wall and entered An Rou's room!
Thinking of her mission, An Xin frowned slightly, pointed to the wing room near the wall, and said arrogantly: "Grandma, I want to live in that room."
"Okay, okay! All up to you!" The old lady responded with a smile.
The second wife was still a little hesitant: "The eldest lady has always been spoiled, this simple..."
"Second Aunt, don't worry. You are the elder and I should give in to you." An Xin waved her hand and walked into the side room.
She is not the original owner, so naturally she will not feel uncomfortable due to the harsh conditions. The most important thing now is to complete the task quickly!
In the side room, Aunt Leng put down the teacup in her hand. Thinking about what An Xin did today, she became more and more worried. She said worriedly: "Rou'er, why did the eldest lady suddenly change her personality? Before, when she was arrogant and willful, she had many admirers just by relying on that face. Now that her personality has changed drastically, those young masters of the aristocratic families only have eyes for her, right? You have to think of a way..."
She claimed that she was planning for An Rou, but she never thought that An Rou's eyes were filled with coldness. She interrupted her harshly, "Aunt, please stop talking! I will take care of my own business."
Aunt Leng closed her mouth awkwardly and whispered, "I am doing this for your own good."
At this moment, a group of people entered the Daxiangguo Temple.
"Who is coming?" The guarding imperial guards quickly stopped the person.
The carriage curtain was slowly lifted, and the man lazily raised his eyes and looked at the imperial guards with a smile: "Commander Chen, you can't even recognize my carriage?"
"It's my duty." Commander Chen said coldly, "I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"Aqing, let's go." Ning Yan's lips curled slightly, and his smile disappeared behind the car curtain.
As they watched the carriage leave, several imperial guards started talking to each other.
"The Ninth Prince is still as unruly as ever. The other princes all came early, except our Ninth Prince, who relied on the favor of His Majesty. His Majesty has been here for two hours, but he is late."
"The Ninth Prince is the only heir of the Emperor, so His Majesty naturally dotes on him. There are countless beauties in the Ninth Prince's mansion, but His Majesty has never said a word!"
After hearing this, Commander Chen sneered, his eyes full of disdain: "Without power, he can only mess around with women!"
-
The next morning, inside the Great Hall.
Anxin knelt on the mat, drowsy.
An Xin didn't sleep all night because she was thinking about the second male supporting role. But unexpectedly, the second male supporting role didn't show up for a long time. It was not until dawn that she took a short nap.
Buddha, I don’t mean to disrespect you.
Seeing the old lady stand up, she quickly walked out with the help of the silhouette.
"Finally I got out!" An Xin muttered softly. At this moment, out of the corner of her eye she saw An Rou walking cautiously into the woods.
What is she going to do
An Xin had a hunch that something was wrong, and after rolling her eyes slightly, she grabbed the silhouette's hand.
"Silhouette, you go back first."
After hearing this, Silhouette hesitated and said, "Miss, what are you going to do?"
"I have some things to take care of." An Xin waved her hand and quickly walked in the direction where An Rou left.
However, as soon as An Xin entered the woods, she lost her way.
Looking at the three forks in the road ahead, An Xin's eyes twitched.
Who could tell her that there were so many forks in a small forest? Which way did An Rou go
"Xiao Qi, where did An Rou go?"
Subconsciously, An Xin placed all her hopes on Xiao Qi.
It’s a pity that Xiao Qi hesitated and still couldn’t give an answer.
An Xin wailed in her heart: "What use is there for you!"
In desperation, An Xin could only choose a path at random.
However, as she went deeper into the road, An Xin felt vaguely uneasy.
Why did she feel there was danger in this woods
After thinking it over, he realized that his own life was more important than prying into An Rou's secret. Thinking this way, he was about to turn around and leave, but there was movement in front of him.
"Your Majesty, we have already figured out the movements of the Imperial Guards."
“Well done.”
The man's calm voice sounded, and An Xin's heart moved slightly. This voice seemed somewhat familiar
Subconsciously, An Xin walked forward cautiously.
The conversation between the two has not stopped yet.
"Your Majesty, will Xiao Yu really go and assassinate the Emperor?"
"Xiao Yu has been dormant for many years. As long as we give him a chance, he will definitely seize it."
Xiao Yu...
Xiao Yu is the name of the second male supporting role.
Xiao Qi's timely scientific knowledge made An Xin open her eyes wide. She covered her lips and tried not to make any sound. She knew that she might have overheard a big secret!
no!
A huge sense of uneasiness enveloped An Xin, and she quickly retreated.
The exquisite embroidered shoes stepped on the dead branches, making a barely perceptible sound.
Oops!
In an instant, An Xin saw a flash of cold light in front of her eyes, and she felt a cold touch on her neck.
"What a coincidence! Miss An."
Hearing the familiar male voice, An Xin raised her head and met the man's lowered brows.
It’s indeed him!
Isn’t this the Ninth Prince who had a one-night stand with me
"What a coincidence!" An Xin forced a smile, "I came in to relax and didn't expect to run into you."
The man raised his eyebrows, narrowed his peach blossom eyes, and said with a sharp look: "You heard everything."
“No, no, no!” An Xin shook her head repeatedly, wanting to survive: “I didn’t hear anything! I was just passing by, please don’t misunderstand me!”
An Xin said a series of words, but the man's playful eyes told her clearly.
He didn't believe her.
