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

An Muxi talked to Lu Qingxue for a long time. Lu Qingxue promised to visit her often, and then left.

Suddenly An Muxi remembered what she had promised Xiaoqin. She didn’t know what Jianfeng meant to Xiaoqin now?

If he doesn't like Xiaoqin and forces Li Rui to arrange their marriage, that would be bad.

So she asked Qiu Shuang to call Jianying over and asked for Jianying's opinion in person.

If Jianying and Xiaoqin could become a couple, that would be great. Xiaoqin would just let her stay in the beauty store and help run the store.

After a while, Jianfeng came. He was a little confused about what An Muxi wanted him to do.

An Muxi spoke first: "Just call me Miss An from now on. I called you here to ask if you are interested in Xiaoqin?"

Jianfeng didn't expect her to be so direct. He was a little confused when suddenly asked such a personal question. After he reacted, his ears turned a little red.

In fact, Jianfeng had no interest in Xiaoqin at first. Later, Xiaoqin often went to him to inquire about some gossips and occasionally brought him some snacks from Furongyuan.

Gradually, the two became familiar with each other. After being taught by An Muxi, Xiaoqin became more relaxed and often took the initiative to make some purses, knee pads, socks and other things for Jianfeng.

Even the most obtuse person could see Xiaoqin's feelings for him.

It’s just that Jianfeng is Li Rui’s personal guard and often accompanies him on business trips, so the two of them never had the chance to talk about this matter.

By the time Jianfeng discovered that he also liked Xiaoqin, Xiaoqin had already left the palace to help An Muxi run the beauty store.

He is a dull person to begin with. Before, it was Xiaoqin who took the initiative to look for him. Now he is too embarrassed to take the initiative to look for Xiaoqin.

Thinking that maybe they were not destined to be together, he decided to give up.

He didn't expect that An Muxi would specifically call him over to ask about this matter.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "I think Xiaoqin is fine. But I am the prince's guard and I may not be able to take good care of her."

An Muxi interrupted him directly: "Don't say anything else, I just want to ask you whether you like Xiaoqin or not?"

Jian Feng's face flushed slightly this time: "Yes, I just realized recently that I like her."

When An Muxi heard this, she smiled happily: "That's easy."

So he took Jian Feng to the door of Lingfeng Pavilion's study. Jian Feng didn't know what An Muxi was going to do, so he asked hesitantly, "I don't know what Miss An~ is going to say to the prince?"

An Muxi smiled and said, "Just wait for my good news. Go and let them know for me."

Jianfeng obediently went in and reported, and An Muxi was invited in.

In less than a cup of tea, An Muxi came out.

Then Jian Feng was called in.

Li Rui looked at Jian Feng with a smile in his eyes: "I heard that you have a girl you like?"

Jianfeng looked slightly embarrassed. It was a bit strange that the usually stern prince suddenly asked him such a question.

But since he had made up his mind, he didn't intend to back down, so he nodded in acknowledgment.

Li Rui said: "In this case, you should take the initiative to seek the woman's consent, and the palace will pay the betrothal gift. I will give you a house, and you don't have to go out with me to carry out missions in the future. You will be responsible for guarding the palace."

You have to know that Jianfeng is Li Rui's right-hand man. The reason why he agreed to their marriage so readily was because he had his own selfish motives.

He knew that Xiaoqin was An Muxi's most trusted maid, and now she was helping An Muxi run the shop. If his guard married her, wouldn't there still be some indirect contact between the two in the future?

Jianfeng knew the prince's good intentions and was touched, so he also planned to take some time to find Xiaoqin to express his feelings.

Li Rui then changed the subject, his expression becoming serious again: "Send someone to check the Anguo Mansion in the near future. There are so many assassins coming this time, and ordinary people can't afford to support them. Also, check the servants in the palace and clear out all the problematic ones."

Jian Feng's expression changed sternly and he immediately took the order and went out to do the work.

Li Rui has finished the last bowl of medicine and now feels relaxed. He knows that now is the time to fight back.

The prince couldn't sit still any longer. If he knew that his poison had been cured, he would probably launch a crazy counterattack. He had to prepare in advance.

He opened the drawer, took out an account book, opened it and flipped through it. This account book was the one he found when he went to the Prince's Mansion to burn down the warehouse last time.

It records in detail the names of some court ministers and the amounts of money transacted, both those sent out and those received.

Every name, time and amount were recorded in great detail. He had only glanced through it before and knew most of the people in it. They were the princelings in the court.

This time he looked through it in detail and found that Yin Huaiyuan was among them. And the time was just when Anyang Hou had just received the imperial edict to go to the western border to quell the rebellion.

According to the records, Yin Huaiyuan accepted 20,000 taels of silver from the prince at that time. Li Rui instantly felt a chill all over his body. He was still young at that time, but he remembered that Anyang Marquis was a martial arts master and invincible.

However, he was seriously injured in that battle. Although he defeated the leader of Western Frontier, he eventually died of his injuries.

Yin Huaiyuan was the deputy general of Marquis Anyang at that time. After Marquis Anyang died, he became the biggest beneficiary and took over Marquis Anyang's position as general.

If Yin Huaiyuan had surrendered to the prince at that time, did he do something at that time? Then there would be no need for me to be so polite to him.

Li Rui called Jianying in and ordered, "Go check who was around Anyang Hou when he died in battle, and then check Yin Huaiyuan's affairs. Who recommended him to be the General of Zhenxi back then?"

Jianying immediately took the order and prepared to go out.

Li Rui added: "There is one more thing. Publicize Bai Yueli's fake daughter's identity and send her dowry back to the Ningguo Mansion!"

Jianying was speechless. Wasn't Madam An going to leave soon? Why was he still standing up for her?

Your Majesty, have you not given up yet?

An Muxi slept well that night. The next day, Nanny Zhao came and brought a few servants with her.

Seeing An Muxi, he smiled and said, "The prince specifically asked me to arrange a carriage for you to deliver the things."

An Muxi accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for me."

In fact, there were not many things, except for a wooden box and a bag of clothes. Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue also brought very simple things, just a few pieces of clothing.

Nanny Zhao ordered people to carry the things to the carriage at the gate of the palace, and then watched An Muxi get on the carriage before turning around and returning to the palace.

She went to Furong Courtyard where An Muxi lived and prepared to clean it up, and saw a small storeroom full of things that the prince had sent.

She sighed in her heart, thinking that it was rare to find women who were not greedy for money and status nowadays.

Given the extent of the prince's love for her, it was only a matter of time before she became a concubine. I don't understand why Madam An had to leave.

After locking the door of the warehouse, I went to the bedroom on the second floor and saw the small wooden box and the painting on it.

After cleaning the house, Nanny Zhao sent the wooden box and the painting to Li Rui.

He also told Li Rui that all the things he sent were left in Furongyuan.

Li Rui held the cartoon and read out loud: "The rest of your life will be filled with mountains and seas, I hope you can follow your heart. The mountains are high and the waters are long, please take care!"

Li Rui curled his lips and smiled: "Little woman, you are quite good at writing. The rest of my life? How can I miss you?"
