"What's going on?" Wei Anxian frowned as he looked at the familiar-looking maid in front of him. He remembered that she seemed to be the older maidservant of Xianrong County Lady, named Yunque. He paused before asking, "What happened? Why is the county lady here?"
Lady Xianrong looked very unwell. Her clothes were disheveled, her hair and makeup were messy, and her gold hairpins were scattered on the ground, as if she had met with a great disaster.
Wei An's mind raced as he realized that the trouble that Xianrong County Lady was in might not only be directed at Xianrong County Lady, but also at himself, so he raised his eyebrows and asked again in a more serious tone: "What happened?!"
It was rare for her to show such emotions. When she got angry, Yun Que didn't dare to look at her. He lowered his head and trembled as he met her gaze. "Our county lady was originally in Donglin Temple, but later... later she accepted a friend's invitation and came out... to see the persimmon tree... I don't know how, but she was knocked unconscious..."
She stammered, her tone intermittent, as if she couldn't catch her breath: "When we woke up, we found ourselves in this house!"
The house was locked from the outside and they couldn't get out at all. No matter what they tried, it was useless. They thought something was going to happen, but unexpectedly Wei An showed up.
Yun Que breathed a sigh of relief and tugged at Wei An's sleeve, fearing that she would not help: "Please, Princess, please help us. Our county lady cannot be seen in this state..."
A girl's reputation is so important. If someone saw Yuan Sheng in this disheveled state, the reputation of Princess Xianrong would be ruined. But Princess Xianrong was just married to Chu Jingxing, the prince of Linjiang Prince, a few days ago!
If there were any unbearable rumors, how could Xianrong County Lady still get married? By then, even those who served under her would have no choice but to die.
Wei An's clothes were pulled tightly, and she frowned and asked, "Invite?"
Come to think of it, according to Yunque, Princess Xianrong came to Donglin Temple with Princess Chang'an to attend the ceremony for Prince Duan's family. Since they are all nobles, Donglin Temple must be heavily guarded. If Princess Xianrong hadn't come out herself, who could have kidnapped her
But who can invite the Fairy Princess...
She paused, frowned and asked, "Could it be that someone used the name of the Prince of Linjiang to trick you out?"
Yun Que cried out loudly and kowtowed to Wei An: "Please help me, my lady! Please help me, my lady!"
How to save
Wei An sneered.
It's clear that someone wants to kill two birds with one stone.
Firstly, it ruined the reputation of Xianrong County Lady, and secondly...
Wei An's appearance was just too coincidental. The long-servant of Wei Jie who brought her here might come forward to testify that she had sent false information to Xianrong County Lady...
Kill two birds with one stone, this is a very vicious strategy.
So... ... the person Wenxiu mentioned... ...
Thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, and soon she heard someone outside shouting, "Prince, there's someone inside!"
Prince?!
Joy and hope flashed in Yun Que's eyes again - could it be that this was really a letter from the Prince of Linjiang? !
But when she heard the sound outside, she collapsed to the ground with a pale face - it was not the Prince of Linjiang, Chu Jingxing, but the Prince of Duan, Chu Jingzong!
Chu Jingzong!
If he saw the Fairy Princess like this...
She was at a loss, but Xianrong County Lady had already woken up. Judging from her lucid appearance, she must have heard the noise outside. She cried and laughed as she moved over: "County Lady, County Lady, are you awake?!"
The Fairy Princess ignored her and looked at Wei An. Her lips were so dry that they had broken. She said woodenly, "You go and deal with it."
Her face was cold, and her eyes were filled with resentment and warning: "Don't let him see me."
If Prince Duan saw her, her life would be ruined - she's just a cousin!
After receiving her hint, Yunque hurriedly stood up and pushed Wei An out. She pushed so fast and hard that she almost fell down. However, she no longer cared about it. She pushed Wei An out and closed the door.
Wei An was pushed outside alone, and if Wen Xiu hadn't helped him quickly, he would have almost fallen.
She held Wenxiu's hand and stood still, and immediately ordered Su Ping: "You go first and report to the prince."
Su Ping was very worried and looked hesitant.
If Wei An hadn't thought that Wei Yupo and Peng Lingwei were out and was afraid that something might happen to them, there would have been no need for him to take the risk himself. The long-time attendant was guarding them very closely along the way, and there were obviously other secret sentries around them. They had no chance to tip off, and they wouldn't be in this dilemma now.
"Girl..." She gritted her teeth and said, "I'll take you with me!"
Seeing that the horse of Prince Duan was about to reach him, Wei An shook his head firmly: "I can't leave. If I leave, things will be even more unclear."
At that time, Prince Duan will definitely say that he has seen her, and ask her to come out as a witness to find out who caused the Fairy Princess to fall into this small house, and the Fairy Princess...
If she knew that I died first to save myself, she would bite her to death and die with me.
What's more, it is not impossible that Prince Duan would kill her directly to save trouble.
She frowned: "Go!"
Su Ping was at a loss. Knowing that Wei An had made up his mind, she gritted her teeth, stomped her feet, and ran around the hut quickly.
Almost immediately, Prince Duan came through the persimmon forest and approached them. He frowned, glanced at them, waved the whip in his hand, and asked loudly, "Who are you and why are you here?"
When Wei An came out, she was pushed and her hair was a little disheveled. She brushed the loose hair behind her ears calmly and smiled calmly: "I am Shouning, nice to meet you, brother Crown Prince."
The Prince of Duan was a lump of flesh, and every time the horse moved, his flesh would tremble violently, making people worry that the horse could not bear his weight.
He stroked his chin and seemed to think carefully before he figured out who the person who called him brother was. He said with an "oh" and then said, "It's you."
He looked behind her, frowned and asked her, "What are you doing here?"
Wei An remained calm and looked past him at the persimmon tree behind him. "Mrs. Chen's family is holding a blessing ceremony at Puci Temple. We followed our grandmother to burn incense. It was boring on the mountain, so our grandmother asked us to come out for some fresh air."
Chu Jingzong raised his eyebrows: "Are you alone?"
Wei An looked at him with a smile: "I wonder how many people your Highness thinks you have? Puci Temple has already sealed the gate, so we are not afraid of outsiders entering without permission, so I didn't bring any servants with me."
