I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Bai Yueli and Li Jiawan were furious when they heard this. They didn't expect that Gu Anyan, who was usually like a white flower, was not ambiguous when it came to scolding people. She directly hit the opponent's lungs.

An Muxi and Dai Meng also found it very satisfying to hear this. Compared with the weak and harmless little white flower, An Muxi prefers straightforward and unpretentious women.

I don’t know if it’s because she offended Bai Yueli, whom she didn’t like, or because she is the daughter of Lord Gu, and Lord Gu enforced the law impartially last time and gave Song Lan justice.

At this moment, An Muxi found Gu Anyan very pleasing to the eye.

Li Jiawan, however, was secretly resentful in her heart. She didn't know who had framed her when she attended the flower-viewing banquet last time. She took the aphrodisiac she had prepared and lost face in front of those men.

She went back and cried for several days, not daring to go out and see anyone. Then she heard that Bai Jingchen actually asked his family to go to the Gu family to propose marriage.

She was unwilling in her heart, but she also knew that the situation was hopeless and there was no possibility for her to be with Bai Jingchen anymore. However, she didn't dare to do anything to Bai Jingchen, but she could vent her anger on Gu Anyan.

So he instigated Bai Yueli to come and cause trouble for Gu Anyan.

"Is this how Miss Gu treats her future sister-in-law? Aren't you afraid that your future parents-in-law will dislike you if they find out?"

Gu Anyan sneered: "What status do you have to question me, Princess? What does my marriage with Master Bai have to do with you? Have you not given up yet?

Otherwise, why are you trying to instigate a quarrel between Miss Bai and me?"

Li Jiawan was a little embarrassed when her thoughts were exposed, and her smile turned cold. I didn't expect that Gu Anyan was so difficult to deal with.

Bai Yueli didn't understand the meaning of Gu Anyan's words, and was furious and wanted to rush forward to attack. Fortunately, Aunt Gui beside her held her back and she didn't rush over.

Wu was afraid that Bai Yueli would cause another scandal today, so she specially sent her most capable Nanny Gui to follow Bai Yueli.

Nanny Gui also felt a little resentful towards Princess Rong'an. She knew that Bai Yueli was always being used as a pawn by the princess, and she often used Bai Yueli to get close to Bai Jingchen.

Thinking that this person might be the wife of the prince of Ningguo Mansion in the future, she did not remind Wu. Now it seems that this person is not a good person.

The prince had already said that he didn't like her, and she took her anger out on Miss Gu when her courtship failed. That would have been fine, but she didn't even take action herself and let Bai Yueli fight for her, earning the reputation of being spoiled and unreasonable.

Li Jiawan's eyes turned red with anger, and she looked at Bai Yueli: "Li'er, I just don't want her to have conflicts with you, so as not to ruin your relationship. How could she say that to me!"

Bai Yueli looked down on Gu Anyan in the first place, and when he saw that his favorite sister Wan'er was bullied like this, he was furious.

Rushing forward to push Gu Anyan, Ling'er quickly protected Gu Anyan. Bai Yueli failed to hit her with her first strike, and turned around to push her again. She had to push Gu Anyan into the water today to relieve her hatred.

At this time An Muxi couldn't bear it anymore, and hurried over to pull Bai Yueli to stop her. Bai Yueli turned around and saw that it was An Muxi. Her anger soared. This woman was not a good thing either. Then she turned her target and pushed An Muxi hard.

An Muxi lost her balance and fell backwards, but she grabbed Bai Yueli by the collar with her backhand, determined to drag someone down with her if she wanted to get down.

So the two of them fell into the lotus pond together. It happened so suddenly that everyone around them was stunned.

How come in the blink of an eye, An Muxi and Bai Yueli fell into the pool?

Dai Meng and Lu Qingxue were the first to react, but neither of them could swim, so they quickly called for help.

At this time, Li Rui, Li Yian, Lu Qingfeng, Bai Jingchen and others came over. From a distance, they saw two people falling into the lotus pond in front of them.

After Li Rui saw Lu Qingxue, he didn't see An Muxi. His expression changed suddenly and he rushed over quickly. He saw An Muxi and Bai Yueli struggling in the pool.

He took off his cloak without hesitation and jumped down. When Aunt Gui saw Bai Jingchen, she cried and shouted, "Prince, go down and save the young lady. She can't swim."

Bai Jingchen's expression also changed and he quickly jumped down.

An Muxi didn't expect that just because she was trying to stop a fight, she would end up being thrown into the lotus pond. The water in the pond was icy cold in this season, and she felt frozen all over the moment she fell into the pond.

The pool was at least two meters deep, and just when she felt her whole body stiff and about to sink, she saw a figure jump into the pool, quickly hold her in his arms, and then drag her to the shore.

She could only let him hold her and go ashore.

Bai Jingchen next to him also pulled Bai Yueli ashore.

Li Rui looked coldly at the women on the shore and asked in a cold voice, "What's going on?"

Over there, Nanny Gui hurried to Bai Yueli's side and put the cloak on her. She glanced at An Muxi inadvertently and suddenly saw that An Muxi's collar had opened a little while she struggled, revealing a plum-shaped birthmark next to her collarbone.

Nanny Gui's expression froze and her pupils constricted. She wanted to observe more carefully, but Li Rui wrapped his cloak directly around An Muxi and picked her up.

"Jianfeng, stay and investigate what happened." After saying that, he left with An Muxi in his arms.

Bai Jingchen and Aunt Gui also helped Bai Yueli leave. Gu Anyan followed with a bit of guilt.

Jiang Siyu looked at Lu Qingxue and Dai Meng worriedly: "Is Xi'er okay?"

Lu Qingxue shook her head calmly: "Don't worry, she will be fine. It should be someone else who is in trouble."

Dai Meng said helplessly: "It seems that I can't catch up with you today. An An and I will go to the garden. You guys can do whatever you want."

Lu Qingxue nodded: "Go ahead, go ahead. Why don't you come to Prince Rui's Mansion tomorrow to have a small gathering? It will be my farewell to you."

Dai Meng happily agreed, then took Li Yian away.

Lu Qingxue looked at Jiang Siyu and saw that her brother was also there, then she said to Lu Qingfeng, "Afeng, please help me take care of Miss Jiang. I'll go see how Xi'er is doing."

Jiang Siyu quickly declined: "Don't bother Mr. Lu, I can do it myself."

Lu Qingfeng said, "Sister, go ahead. I will help you take care of Miss Jiang."

Jiang Siyu was a little embarrassed: "How can I feel comfortable with that?"

Lu Qingfeng smiled and said, "You've seen it too. There are a lot of gossips in the palace. Let me walk with you."

Jiang Siyu did not refuse this time, but just felt a little hot in her ears, and followed Lu Qingfeng away.

Lu Qingxue smiled secretly. It seemed that her brother's dull mind had finally come to his senses?

Li Rui carried An Muxi to a side hall for rest, put her on the bed, and then ordered Jianying to find the imperial physician.

Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue knelt down consciously, waiting for their master's decision.

An Muxi had recovered a little by now. Seeing Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue kneeling beside her, she quickly stood up and said, "What are you doing?"

"I don't blame you. I was the one who suddenly stepped in to stop the fight. It has nothing to do with you. I don't blame you."

Li Rui said coldly: "The master is in danger, and you are derelict in your duty by not protecting him."

An Muxi was a little unhappy. Why was Li Rui so strict with her own maids? Besides, she was indeed impulsive this time and it had nothing to do with the two maids.

"Your Majesty, this time it really wasn't their fault. It was my own impulsiveness. Can you please forgive them?"

Li Rui saw that An Muxi seemed a little unhappy, so he didn't continue scolding her.

"Forget it this time, but next time you do, you will be severely punished. You guys can go down. Wait, go get Xier some clothes to change into."

Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue quickly stood up and walked out.

An Muxi and Li Rui don't meet alone very often, and now it always feels weird when they are together.

In order to ease the embarrassment, she made small talk: "Your Majesty, you have lost weight recently. Are you sick?"

Li Rui didn't look at her, but just said calmly: "No problem."

In fact, Li Rui had a lot of things he wanted to say, but he couldn't say them now. He was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and the spread of the poison would intensify.

Both of them were silent. Fortunately, Jianfeng came back soon and brought Li Rui some dry clothes. He also told Li Rui what had happened.

Li Rui went behind the screen and changed his clothes, then he said with anger all over his body: "Xi'er, Bai Yueli will marry into the Cheng Palace and the Cheng Wang will take care of her. What do you think of Li Jiawan marrying into the Western Frontier?"
