Chapter 111 It’s really him!
An Qingqian knew in her heart that Prince Yong's plan was for her to sleep with Xue Wanxian and have a child. Then, for the sake of the child, she would never do anything to harm the Marquis's Mansion in her entire life.
More importantly, once a woman has a child, she will devote all her energy to the child, and naturally her relationship with her husband will become better.
With the help of the child, Xue Wanxian will have a better relationship with the general, and will be able to help Prince Yong and provide better assistance in future matters.
An Qingqian sent away the palace maid who was leading the way, and told her to wait at the gate of the Imperial Garden on the pretext that she wanted to take a walk around.
After making sure that the palace maid had left, An Qingqian quickly headed in the direction Liu Xinnuan had just left.
Sure enough, not long after, An Qingqian saw Liu Xinnuan's figure.
Standing next to her was Prince Yong Shi Qiujie.
Seeing this scene, An Qingqian became more certain of what he was thinking. In order to achieve his own goal, Prince Yong asked Liu Xinnuan to come and persuade him.
There wasn't much useful information from their conversation.
Liu Xinnuan said that An Qingqian listened to what she said. Prince Yong praised her a few words and showed some concern for her. Then the two of them left one after the other.
An Qingqian withdrew her gaze, but her eyes were firm.
Prince Yong wanted to use her to win over his father, but this was simply impossible and she would never allow such a thing to happen!
She waited in the Imperial Garden for a while, guessing that Prince Yong and Liu Xinnuan should have left, and then she slowly walked towards the gate of the Imperial Garden.
However, she had just taken two steps when she saw a figure standing in front of her.
An Qingqian paused and became alert.
The man heard the noise behind him and turned around.
"Prince?" An Qingqian was a little shocked when she saw that the person in front of her was Shi Qiuwu. How could he appear here?
"It's me." Shi Qiuwu nodded.
"Is the prince here to appreciate plum blossoms?" An Qingqian guessed. Although she knew that this excuse was a bit far-fetched, what else could have made him appear here besides appreciating plum blossoms? It couldn't be because of her, right?
"No, I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me?" An Qingqian was even more shocked when he heard that.
"I wonder what the prince wants?"
"I heard everything you said to Lord Liu's daughter just now." Shi Qiuwu stared at An Qingqian, without any intention of feeling ashamed for eavesdropping.
"So, what does the prince want to say?" An Qingqian was puzzled.
Her conversation with Liu Xinnuan did not involve anything about Prince Xian's Mansion or Shi Qiuwu. Why did he eavesdrop on her conversation with Liu Xinnuan?
It would be fine if he just eavesdropped, but he also admitted it in front of me so openly. What did he mean by that?
"Liu Xinnuan has a close relationship with Prince Yong. You must not listen to her and make mistakes in your judgment." Shi Qiuwu pursed his lips and finally spoke out what was in his heart.
"Well, don't worry, my lord. I'm not a child. I know what's appropriate."
An Qingqian found it a little strange why Shi Qiuwu said that. However, thinking that he had saved her before, she didn't lie.
"Well, it's good that you understand it in your heart." Seeing that An Qingqian was not affected by Liu Xinnuan's words, Shi Qiuwu breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
"Does the prince have anything else to say?" An Qingqian had just come out without any maidservant by her side, and Shi Qiuwu also did not bring anyone with him.
This was a palace with many people around. If someone saw her and Shi Qiuwu standing and talking together in the middle of the night, there was no telling what would be said.
"No, let's go out together." Shi Qiuwu shook his head.
He followed her out because he was worried that An Qingqian was being plotted against by someone with ulterior motives, and he happened to overhear her conversation with Liu Xinnuan.
I felt relieved knowing that she had her own ideas in mind.
As the two were walking forward, they suddenly heard voices coming from the left.
An Qingqian subconsciously looked at Shi Qiuwu and wanted to leave immediately, but suddenly heard them mention a familiar name.
"Find a way to add this thing to Lan Mingyue's teacup, and don't worry about the rest. When the matter is over, I will arrange for you to leave the palace and never appear in the capital again."
A man lowered his voice and looked at a little palace maid in front of him.
"Yes, I obey your command." The maid took a paper bag and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, go quickly. Don't let anyone know that we have met. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of you and your family."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will be extremely careful."
Then the two of them left.
There happened to be a rockery on this side, and it was night, so the light was dim. Therefore, the people over there did not notice that their conversation was overheard.
After they left, An Qingqian lowered his head and thought frantically in his mind, whose voice was this?
She remembered the voice, but she couldn't remember who it was.
Shi Qiuwu seemed to have guessed what An Qingqian was thinking, so he reminded her quietly, "It's King Cheng."
Yes, it was King Cheng’s voice. An Qingqian’s eyes lit up.
This male voice belongs to King Cheng, so King Cheng wants to attack Lan Mingyue?
"Let's go back quickly." She didn't expect King Cheng to have such a plan.
What exactly does he want to do to Lan Mingyue?
"Yeah." Shi Qiuwu responded, and the two of them walked out of the imperial garden.
Shi Qiuwu did not follow An Qingqian out, but asked An Qingqian to go out first, so as to avoid being seen by others and causing gossip that would damage An Qingqian's reputation.
Seeing An Qingqian following the palace maid away, Shi Qiuwu wandered around inside for a while before walking out from another direction.
"Madam Marquis, why are you coming out just now?" The palace maid who led the way was very puzzled. She had been waiting outside for almost an incense stick of time, and it would only take her at most half a quarter of an hour to come out from there.
"I thought the plum blossoms over there were beautiful, so I couldn't help but look at them for a while longer. Who knew that when I came out, I got a little lost, which delayed me for some time. I'm really sorry to bother you."
An Qingqian was very polite. Although she was just a little maid in the palace, she would be unable to defend herself if she wanted to harm her. Besides, she had never offended her, so it would be okay for her to be nicer.
"Madam Marquis, you are too polite. This is what I should do." The palace maid felt strange at first and asked casually. Unexpectedly, An Qingqian not only explained to her, but also sounded apologetic in her tone, which made the palace maid feel flattered.
Her status was not high, she was just a person doing odd jobs. Today, she was suddenly noticed by a nobleman and chosen to come to An Qingqian to deliver a message.
