Princess An Qing poured herself a glass of water and took a sip before saying with a smile, "Under the emperor's feet, if you are not careful, you may cause the death of your family."

"As the eldest princess, even if I have ulterior motives, I am only trying to add fuel to the flames. I have no intention of harming you. How can you doubt me like this?"

When she finished speaking, Princess An Qing showed a sad look.

She looked so sad, as if she was really hurt by the Crown Princess' words, and she didn't want to say anything more to her.

The Crown Princess felt that Princess Anqing was just pretending, and her hoarse voice was filled with anger: "Do you want me to be grateful to you? Princess Anqing, how did the Queen die? You saw it clearly. Do you think someone who wanted the Queen to die would be fooled by you again?"

Speaking of the word "coaxing", the Crown Princess was very calm and collected: "I am no longer the foolish person who was deceived before. If you use the same excuses as before to fool me again, what will happen to you after tonight will really have something to do with me."

After saying the last few words with gritted teeth, the Crown Princess didn't want to stay here at all and stood up to leave.

Princess An Qing saw this and knew that the current Crown Princess was very proud. If she continued to say some specious words, she might bring the matter to the Emperor without any scruples and let the Emperor take ruthless action against her.

"Crown Princess, I asked you to come see me tonight because I want to cooperate with you on something, but there is a rift between you and me because of the Queen, so I can't tell you directly about this, so I want to test you first before making a decision."

"Although your reaction was beyond my expectations, it was also just right, because I discovered from your attitude that you really hate the queen to the core."

"She died, and you were so happy that you didn't want to hide your emotions, so you are indeed worthy of my trust at this moment."

Princess An Qing spoke in a calm and steady tone, as if everything was under her control. No matter how much doubt the Crown Princess had in her heart, she would not question her.

"Trust?" The Crown Princess just found it funny, and the next moment she sneered, "I once believed in you, but you gave me a wake-up call."

Princess An Qing was stunned for a moment, and then she thought of how the Crown Princess had previously asked her to cooperate with her, but she had tricked her.

Touching her forehead sheepishly, Princess An Qing sighed faintly, "It's just a small matter, why do you remember it until now? Princess, you are too narrow-minded."

"Hmph, it's obvious that you have ulterior motives, that's why you think I'm narrow-minded." The Crown Princess snorted and was about to leave.

Princess An Qing quickly stepped forward to hold her back, and asked with great concern, "This is about the Crown Prince, can you just leave indifferently?"

The Crown Princess was annoyed in her heart, and it showed on her face.

She shook off Princess An Qing's hand and said in a cold voice: "The Crown Prince is far away in the Western Territory. If he really has something wrong, Father will definitely receive the news as soon as possible."

After saying this harshly, the Crown Princess gave Princess An Qing a mocking smile, then left quickly without even looking at her.

Princess An Qing was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot, but she had expected the Crown Princess' attitude, so no matter how angry she was, she could only let the Crown Princess leave.

Mo Xin stepped forward and asked, "Are we just going to let the Crown Princess leave like this?"

"The Crown Princess is proud and arrogant, and she is angry with me because of what happened before. If I don't let her leave now, she might lose her temper." Princess An Qing said meaningfully.

When Mo Xin heard this, he looked at Princess An Qing in confusion, "Don't you have something to discuss with the Crown Princess? Why did you let her leave like this?"

"There's no need to say that, she will be able to figure it out. If she is interested, she will come to me." Princess An Qing was full of confidence.

Mo Xin always felt that Princess An Qing was provoking the Crown Princess and forcing her to recognize some things.

As a palace maid specially brought by Princess An Qing, she has good means and a good character.

She should have followed Princess An Qing's words and then helped her achieve her wish.

But when he saw Princess An Qing's puzzled expression, Mo Xin knew that this matter was not something he could decide on his own.

She could only hold back her doubts and watch the development of things together with Princess An Qing.

Mo Xin made up his mind and stopped thinking about the Crown Princess.

After leaving this remote palace, the Crown Princess did not stay in the palace for long at all, and went straight back to Duke Cheng'en's Mansion under the cover of night.

Not long after she came back, Yun Qiongying came to see her.

"Sister, where are you going now?"

Yun Qiongying looked at the Crown Princess with concern, fearing that she had been wronged.

"I went to the palace." The Crown Princess had no intention of hiding anything. She directly told the Crown Princess An Qing's intention to test her, and asked Yun Qiongying to find Chen Xiyun. "The Crown Princess An Qing is definitely trying to harm the Crown Prince. Go find Chen Xiyun and tell her about this. Let her discuss it with her father."

"I understand, sister, don't worry." Yun Qiongying noticed the Crown Princess's anxiety and knew that Princess An Qing's words had left a mark in her heart.

She immediately held Princess An Qing's hand, soothed her in a gentle tone, and then went to the general's mansion.

Chen Xiyun had fallen asleep and was woken up by a maid. She was still a little dazed, but when she heard that it was Yun Qiongying who came to see her, she suddenly shuddered and became fully awake.

"Why did Miss Yun come to see me at this time? Did something happen to my mother?"

Chen Xiyun learned about Wan Shufang from Chen Changli, and she was worried about her all the time.

However, it is not easy to enter Prince Rong's Mansion, and it is a national mourning period recently, so she has to take her brothers and sisters to keep vigil for the Queen.

No matter how worried she was about Wan Shufang, she could only keep her thoughts to herself and dare not show any sign of it.

Now that Yun Qiongying came over, Chen Xiyun's first reaction was that something had happened to Wan Shufang. She immediately put on her clothes in a hurry and ran to see Yun Qiongying.

"Xiyun, don't be anxious." Yun Qiongying saw Chen Xiyun in a hurry and looking a little embarrassed, so she hurried forward to support her.

"I'm not in a hurry." Chen Xiyun stopped and took a deep breath before calming himself down. "Qiongying, you came to me at this time, but do you have something important to tell me?"

Yun Qiongying told him what the Crown Princess said, and then said, "The Crown Prince is far away in the Western Territory. If Princess An Qing has any plans, it must be the traitor Tu Yuanzhou who made the move. My sister probably wants General Chen to pay more attention to the affairs of the Western Territory. If there are any problems with the Crown Prince, we should find a way to solve them as soon as possible."

When Chen Xiyun heard that it was related to the prince, her tense heartstrings unconsciously relaxed.

She said with a relaxed expression: "I will have a good talk with my father about this matter. With my father here, the evil spirits can't harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yun Qiongying smiled and said, "My sister and I both believe in General Chen, but Princess An Qing's sudden move is really a bit strange. Tell General Chen to be alert and not take it lightly."
