Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

It was not until Hong Yuan and his party left the city gate that Bai Shao whispered, "Wasn't the girl's dowry already arranged when we left Yongning Guard?"

Before she could say anything, Jing Mo beside her smiled and said, "Even if it is really not properly arranged, I am afraid that Miss Qingqing's current ability will not be able to help."

Anan glanced at them, stared at the convoy going farther and farther away, smiled deeply, and looked up at the sky. It was clear earlier, but now it was gloomy and scary. She frowned and whispered, "Let's go back. It's going to snow soon."

Before they returned to the old house, snowflakes began to fall. Anan opened the curtain, reached out, and caught a piece of the falling snow.

In the past and present lives, today's snow seems to be particularly heavy, and the entire capital city is shrouded in a vast expanse of white.

"Auspicious snow means a good harvest!" Holly shouted with a smile.

There were few pedestrians on the street, and cars drove slowly past, leaving deep ruts.

The wind was getting stronger in the evening. Anan was waiting for him at Mingxiangju. He reheated the dinner again and again, but Hongze never came home.

The palace was brightly lit and noisy sounds could be heard faintly.

It was abnormal enough that Hongze hurriedly sent away the injured Hong Yuan. Because he had to attend the court in the morning, Anan also stayed with him in Mingxiangju for some time. This situation was even more abnormal.

She was worried and ordered someone to call Jiuling.

Although Jiu Ling tried to comfort her, his eyes showed panic, so he didn't dare to look at Anan's eyes. He just lowered his head and whispered, "It's okay, Madam. Bian and the others are all with the master!"

Anan couldn't sit still, so he ordered his men to change their clothes, put on a cloak, and went straight to the palace with Bai Shao alone.

The palace gate was still crowded with convoys. In the past, the palace gate was only so busy when the emperor was in court.

Anan's brows were tightly locked together, and he waited there. Bai Shao delivered the visiting card, and soon a young eunuch came to lead the way to the harem.

After entering the palace, the noise became even louder, and there was even a smell of blood in the air...

Anan was shocked and stood there in shock. There was thick snow on the road leading to the harem and he could not see any clues. The high palace walls separated him from the others, and the sounds and smell of blood came from outside the walls.

"Mrs. Hong, please go quickly. The Queen is waiting for you!" the young eunuch urged anxiously.

Anan hurriedly lowered her head and walked away. After a while, she arrived outside the imperial concubine's bedroom. She shook off the snow on her cloak, tidied her appearance, and entered the palace.

Concubine Jin was leaning on the couch, with a headband wrapped around her forehead and her hands resting on her cheeks. When she saw her come in, she stood up with the help of the palace maids and laughed softly, "Are you worried about your husband?"

Anan nodded silently and whispered, "Tonight seems a little unusual."

"It's indeed unusual." A sneer appeared on Concubine Jin's lips. The peerless beauty was just like this.

Anan frowned deeply, and after a while he asked in a low voice: "Is it..."

Before she could say anything, Concubine Jin raised her hand to stop her, and then signaled to the maid beside her. All the palace maids and eunuchs went back and closed the door. She smiled and said, "There are many eyes and ears in the palace. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Even in my palace, you should be careful when speaking."

Annan was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say anything else.

Concubine Jin smiled and said, "You guessed correctly. The officials outside have been pestering His Majesty and arguing in front of the palace for a whole day."

"Investigating corruption and enforcing discipline is the most normal job. What's there to argue about?" Anan was a little confused.
