AWB Chapter 142 Complicity
Chapter 142 Complicity
Li Rui has been arranging matters for the palace and Shadow Pavilion these days, and he is about to leave for the north.
This time he must get the Wuyuan Scrophularia, so that he can detoxify when he comes back, and he is looking forward to it. He has finally made it through all these years.
This time he did not alarm anyone in the palace. He just quietly gave Lu Qingxue instructions and left.
His movements have been quite frequent recently, which has attracted the attention of the Queen and the Crown Prince. In order to avoid any further complications, he plans to quietly leave for the North.
It was not until he had been away for several days that An Muxi learned the news from Lu Qingxue.
I had wanted to prepare some pills for him to take with him, but it seems that's not necessary.
An Muxi has been relatively well-behaved recently. Whenever she has time, she goes to the beauty store and the clinic to check on the situation. When everything is fine, she goes back to Prince Rui's Mansion to continue writing.
An Muxi is very satisfied with this new work, "All the members of the sect are crazy, only the little sister is in love" and "Martial Arts World". Just looking at the title, this book will not fail!
She heard that Li Rui was drugged by Concubine Li. Li Rui was really miserable, but she admired him for his tenacity. He endured for so many years and finally found the person who poisoned him and took revenge.
And Yin Qianqian reaped the consequences of her own actions and was married to the prince's mansion as a concubine. She really deserved it.
An Muxi has recently started to clean up a bedroom on the second floor of the backyard of the beauty store, which is reserved for herself. Maybe she will be able to move in soon.
She now has enough money to buy a small house, but making money is not easy so she's better off spending it frugally. At least there's room to live in the beauty store.
She also has a dream of traveling around and seeing the scenery of Tiansheng. She will plan this after she becomes financially free.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to go on a trip at any time?
The prince has been under house arrest in his mansion recently and is in a very bad mood. He throws things all day long and loses his temper at the slightest provocation.
It would have been fine if the emperor had confined him to his home, but he actually took away his right to participate in politics. As the crown prince of a country, what's the point of having this position if he can't participate in government affairs?
Could it be that my father is thinking of changing the crown prince?
Recently, the emperor found out that Li Rui had been drugged, and he felt very guilty. He was willing to grant his every request. Li Chengze felt that if Li Rui said he wanted to be the crown prince, Emperor Tiansheng might agree.
The fear and hatred towards Li Rui in my heart have reached its peak!
If Li Rui hadn't exposed his own scandal this time, he wouldn't have been disliked by Emperor Tiansheng. And as for Yin Qianqian, if it wasn't for helping her, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Although he possessed her body, the price he paid was too high.
She couldn't help feeling a little regretful, but fortunately Yin Qianqian was sensible and agreed to enter the prince's mansion as a concubine.
Now that he has the military support of the Huang and Yin families, it will not be easy for Emperor Tiansheng to depose the prince in the future.
At this time, the guard knocked on the door and handed him a secret letter.
When he opened it, he found that it was from General Yin. After his affair with Yin Qianqian was discovered, he wrote a letter to General Yin explaining the situation and the auspicious date. He promised to send a generous betrothal gift and marry Yin Qianqian to the Prince's Mansion as a concubine.
In this letter, General Yin expressed his willingness to marry his daughter to the Prince's residence and hoped that the Prince would take good care of her. However, the following content made the Prince somewhat wary.
General Yin said that Li Rui had disappeared for a few days when he went to the west to escort his bride, and his whereabouts were unknown.
The prince narrowed his eyes. In Western Xinjiang, there is a miraculous antidote called the Ice Spirit Snow Lotus.
Now Li Rui had found several kinds of miraculous antidotes, so he immediately asked someone to investigate Li Rui's current situation. The result was that Li Rui was not in the Prince Rui's Mansion and had been gone for several days.
We must not let him find those miraculous medicines smoothly!
He immediately sent out a team of assassins to track down the direction Li Rui left the city. The order issued was to kill Li Rui on the spot if they saw him!
In Prince Cheng's Mansion, Bai Yueli had lost a lot of weight, and his already plain face looked even duller.
After marrying into Prince Cheng's mansion, she felt that her life was worse than death. Li Cheng ignored her and handed over the management of the mansion's finances to the concubine Xiang'er.
Her existence was like a joke. Even the servants in the palace didn't take her seriously. Although she was released from house arrest after the Lantern Festival, where could she go now?
She didn't dare go back to Ningguo Mansion. She was afraid of seeing Nanny Gui, and even more afraid that her true life experience would be discovered.
The eldest daughter of the Ningguo Mansion, who was once so arrogant and domineering, now lives cautiously.
What makes her most sad is that the Crown Prince no longer contacts her, which makes her panic. The Crown Prince is her last support. He once loved her so much, how could he abandon her like this?
The personal maid knocked on the door and came in: "Princess, a Miss Yin sent you a letter."
Bai Yueli took the letter and felt a little surprised. How could she know any Miss Yin?
When she opened it, she suddenly remembered that this woman was Yin Qianqian who was about to marry into the Prince's Mansion. She was a little jealous.
Why would she contact me? We don't even know each other.
Curiosity prompted her to read on. Yin Qianqian actually asked her out for a meeting. The letter did not specify what she wanted to see her about, but only said that it was about dealing with An Muxi.
Her expression changed. Wouldn't this woman know that she and An Muxi had swapped identities? Otherwise, why would she come to her to discuss how to deal with An Muxi?
But then she thought about it and it didn't seem like it. No matter what, she was interested in dealing with An Muxi. Now she didn't dare to provoke An Muxi easily, for fear of exposing herself in the end.
But if someone also wants to deal with An Muxi, she doesn't mind helping her.
At the agreed time, she arrived at a rather elegant teahouse.
After reporting Yin Qianqian's name, a servant took her to a private room on the second floor.
Yin Qianqian was sitting in the private room sipping tea, with a handsome guard standing behind her. When he saw her come in, Yin Qianqian smiled slightly.
"You all should go out. I want to talk to Princess Cheng alone."
Ah Xing obediently retreated, and Bai Yueli also asked her maid to leave when she saw this.
Bai Yueli sat down opposite Yin Qianqian and asked directly, "Why did Miss Yin ask me to come?"
Yin Qianqian smiled faintly: "I know that Princess Cheng has some conflicts with An Muxi, and I just don't like her either. How about we work together to deal with her?"
Yin Qianqian has been thinking about what happened all day recently, and finally realized that she had no choice but to accept her fate and marry into the Prince's Mansion. There is completely no hope for her and Prince Rui.
It is impossible for her and Li Rui to be together anymore. This is all because Li Rui reported the matter to the emperor. This man was so cruel to her. She couldn't help but hate Li Rui. She wanted to take revenge on Li Rui!
Since she can't get Li Rui, let Li Rui also taste the feeling of losing his beloved!
So she has been investigating An Muxi's affairs these days. In the end, she found out that Princess Cheng Bai Yueli and An Muxi had conflicts many times, and the relationship between the two was not harmonious and they were like water and fire.
She had just arrived in the imperial capital and didn't have many familiar friends, but she could make use of Bai Yueli. So she took the initiative to contact Bai Yueli, wanting to get her to help her deal with An Muxi.
Bai Yueli was not familiar with Yin Qianqian, so he was still a little wary, but after hearing what she said, he felt a little more relaxed.
It seems that she doesn't know her and An Muxi's true identities, and she knows that she and An Muxi are incompatible.
"Why do you want to deal with her?" Bai Yueli thought that even if he wanted to cooperate, he had to ask clearly. What if this woman wanted to harm him?
Bai Yueli has always been a little wary and disliked the woman who was about to marry into the Prince's Mansion.
Yin Qianqian seemed a little sad: "Do you know? I have had a crush on His Royal Highness Prince Rui since I was a child. This Lantern Festival, I originally asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help me marry into the Prince Rui's mansion.
But I don't know what went wrong, and something like that happened to the Crown Prince. I know that this matter has something to do with His Royal Highness Prince Rui."
Bai Yueli was also shocked. Was this really the case? She completely let down her guard against Yin Qianqian and even developed empathy for her.
It turns out that this woman is just like herself, unable to get the love she wants. It turns out that Prince Rui and An Muxi are both equally hateful.
"Princess Cheng probably doesn't know that I have tried many times to marry into the Rui Palace but failed. However, I have found out the person that His Royal Highness Rui loves. That person is An Muxi.
I want to let King Rui also have a taste of the pain of losing his loved one!"
These words were actually true, and Bai Yueli already believed most of them.
She secretly hated An Muxi in her heart, wondering how she could be so lucky. Although she was abandoned since childhood, she returned to the imperial capital and entered the Prince Rui's mansion. Although she was only the Prince Rui's concubine, she was favored by the Prince Rui.
Now she has opened several shops and is living a prosperous life. Why is she so lucky!
Bai Yueli suppressed the hatred in her heart and asked, "How do you want to deal with her?"
