Feng Shuyuan had been waiting for news from the palace.
Princess Yonghe was later hurriedly brought into the palace by ceremonial guards, and nothing was done to Wei An on the spot. She realized that things were not going well - if Wei An was not dealt with immediately, there would be many variables, and it would be hard to say whether Wei An would be convicted.
But she also knew that Princess Yonghe hated Wei An deeply, so she thought that no matter what, there would always be news.
But she waited until the evening and still received no news, which made her feel a little strange.
Nanny Wang brought her red dates and bird's nest soup, but she couldn't drink a single sip. She frowned and asked, "Is there no movement at all?"
Nanny Wang knew that she was asking about Princess Shouning of the Dingbei Marquis's mansion, so she shook her head and said, "There is no movement. The Marquis is on high alert here, just in case there is any news. We will know as soon as there is news. If there is no news, it means there is no news."
Feng Shuyuan frowned and looked a little annoyed.
Wei An was much more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. If she failed to scare her this time, it would be even more difficult to deal with Wei An next time.
And leaving all this aside, for someone as powerful as Wei An, if you don't hit her with one strike and knock her down completely, there will be troubles to come.
She coughed and ordered Wang Ma gloomily, "Go tell the Marquis, and inform me if you have any news."
When Nanny Wang said yes, she realized, "Hasn't there been any news sent out from the palace?"
Concubine Peng De should have given her a message at least. She did a good job in this matter. Basically, she did everything that Concubine Peng De wanted her to do, and there was nothing missing. Logically speaking, Concubine Peng De should have given her an attitude.
Nanny Wang continued to shake her head: "Not yet..."
Feng Shuyuan had no choice but to wave her hand and let her go, and sat in front of the window in a daze.
The pain in her back continued to come. She endured the pain and sorted out everything that happened today. Only then did she calm down her irritability a little and rekindle her hope.
Although it was too obvious and a little impatient, it is not a crime.
The important thing is that Princess Yonghe was injured and she insisted that it was Wei An's fault.
Just based on this point, there is no way that Emperor Longqing would let Wei An go.
She was worrying too much, because Wei An gave her too many surprises today, so she thought too highly of Wei An and even thought she could escape this disaster.
It's okay... She let out a breath slowly, looked at the moon that had risen above the treetops outside, and slowly smiled - it's okay, even if Emperor Longqing didn't kill Wei An, he would most likely reprimand her or strip her of her title of princess.
By then Wei An would still be disgraced, and even her reputation of pushing down the princess would spread out. Everyone would think that she was born a rebel, and she herself would probably not be able to survive.
Wei An, who had just finished washing up in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, didn't know that Feng Shuyuan was still looking forward to the imperial edict from the palace the next day to either imprison her or deprive her of her title.
She was listening to Nanny Wang's nagging complaints.
Nanny Wang was really furious. She never expected Wei An would come back so injured.
Just now, Wei An said in front of Old Madam Wei that she was not injured. Seeing how relaxed she acted, Madam Wang believed her. But when she came back and took off her clothes, her back was almost covered with bruises and scars. Some places were not only bleeding, but also covered with sand and pebbles.
Yuqing is fine, she can still stay calm.
But Lan He immediately cursed out loud: "Those guys deserve a bad death..."
After being humiliated all day, she really couldn't bear it anymore. She felt that both Princess Yonghe and Feng Shuyuan were killing people in broad daylight.
If it weren't for Wei An's excellent riding skills, he would have never come back alive today. They attacked with such accuracy and cruelty that they left no room for mercy and were intent on killing people.
Aunt Wang was in tears, but she still managed to hold back her tears. She asked them to get tweezers and clean the dirt on Wei An's back wound bit by bit. Then she helped Wei An take a bath and applied a thick layer of ointment.
After all this was done, Nanny Wang came in with the blanket and spread it on the footstool, saying softly, "I'll watch over you while you sleep tonight."
Nanny Wang no longer had to keep watch. Wei An knew that she was worried about him, so he quickly shook his head: "I'm fine, nothing is wrong, you don't have to be like this..."
But Aunt Wang was very stubborn: "I will stay with you, otherwise I can't sleep either."
She raised Wei An, and now she has grown into a grown-up girl who is about to get married. She really can't bear to see Wei An living such a hard life.
Wei An had no choice but to agree.
After Nanny Wang had arranged the bedding, she turned off the lights and lay in the dark for a while. Suddenly, she asked Wei An, "Miss, tell me the truth. Do you... do you like Pingxi Hou?"
Wei An remained silent.
It was hard to see Wei An's expression in the darkness, but Wei An was raised by Nanny Wang, so she knew that if Wei An didn't deny it outright, it was almost the same. So she sighed and asked Wei An, "Is Princess Yonghe making things difficult for you because of Marquis Pingxi?"
After a while, Wei An hummed softly.
Nanny Wang turned over and got up. After thinking for a while, she said, "I know your temper. If you don't like Pingxi Hou, you must have a way to make the princess give up her hostility towards you."
Wei An smiled, "Mammy, this time it's really not like that." She said softly, "The princess doesn't care whether I like Shen Chen or not, or whether I'm willing to marry Shen Chen. She just wants to get rid of me. Whether I like Shen Chen or not is not a big deal to her. What matters is that I disappear from this world, that's the most important thing."
Nanny Wang was a little horrified by Wei An's words: "I thought she was angry and wanted to kill you because you confessed your feelings to her..."
Wei An knew what she meant, so he smiled and said, "Everyone has different thoughts and ideas. Maybe in her eyes, the best way to get someone is to get rid of the person in that person's heart."
Nanny Wang still couldn't quite understand. When she realized what was happening, she felt scared: "If that's the case, then she will never let you go. What are you going to do in the future?"
Since Shen Chen likes Wei An, and Wei An also likes Shen Chen, it is natural for them to get married. But now Princess Yonghe has tried to kill Wei An. If that day really comes, wouldn't Princess Yonghe be so angry that she would burn down the entire Dingbei Marquis Mansion
Wei An shook his head and said, "Don't worry, that day will never come. It will never come."
