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

Li Rui and An Muxi arrived at the Ningguo Mansion, followed by a carriage full of gifts.

As soon as they entered, Wu and Gu Anyan pulled An Muxi to the backyard.

As soon as she entered the room, Wu asked, "Xi'er, is His Royal Highness Prince Rui treating you well?"

The most profound impressions in An Muxi's mind were all those scenes that were not suitable for children, and her face turned yellow from holding her breath.

Mrs. Wu looked her daughter up and down with worry. Seeing that she was slow to speak, she thought that Li Rui was not good to her.

"If Prince Rui treats you badly, tell us and ask your father to go and ask His Majesty to reason with him!"

Gu Anyan looked at Xier thoughtfully. Her expression was hard to describe, and she didn't look like she had been wronged.

"Mom, don't worry yet, let's see what Xi'er says."

An Muxi saw that Wu's eyes were red, and she quickly said, "Mother, Prince Rui is very good to me, and we are very harmonious."

She felt a little shy, which was rare for her, and a blush appeared on her face.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Wu seemed to have thought of something and finally felt relieved.

Gu Anyan was also newlywed, so she naturally knew what she meant by "very harmonious". She couldn't help but blush.

Mrs. Wu looked at her daughter and daughter-in-law with shy expressions and finally smiled.

"You guys, take care of your bodies and give me grandchildren as soon as possible. That would be the best!"

An Muxi is seventeen years old now. Although she feels that it is still a bit early for her to have children, she is no longer considered young here.

Now that she has fallen in love with Li Rui, she is looking forward to having a child with him.

"I understand, mother. Let everything go with the flow."

Gu Anyan and Bai Jingchen are a loving couple, and naturally they hope to give birth to a child for their husband as soon as possible.

"Mother, we will also try our best."

Seeing that these two people were so well-behaved and obedient, Mrs. Wu felt very relieved.

Afterwards, the family sat together and had a meal. Li Rui was very polite to Duke Ningguo and Mrs. Wu.

He just regarded himself as the son-in-law of the Bai family and did not put on any airs of a prince.

During the dinner, Li Rui also suggested that his mother-in-law and sister-in-law go to the Rui Palace to play when they are free, and Wu and Gu Anyan happily agreed.

An Muxi felt herself surrounded by happiness and kept smiling foolishly.

It was not until she returned to Prince Rui's Mansion that An Muxi learned that Madam Zhou and several others had been sent away last night.

She was a little surprised and didn't know what happened.

Li Rui told her what happened and An Muxi was shocked. These people were so shameless.

An Muxi was angry for Li Rui.

"Your Majesty, are you just going to let them go? That old hag is the culprit who killed your grandmother and uncle!"

Li Rui knew that An Muxi was worried about him, so he pulled An Muxi into his arms.

"She can escape death if she lives, so it would be too easy for her to die."

Only then did An Muxi understand Li Rui's plan.

"So how do you plan to punish her?"

"She will be paralyzed in bed for the rest of her life. Let her have a taste of the effects of a chronic poison. Zhou Gui can forget about being an official anymore. How can we let them continue to be the local tyrants of the county!"

Although An Muxi felt that treating them like this was too lenient, after thinking about it, she realized that living like this was indeed a punishment for them.

"Xi'er, I was so sad last night, you have to comfort me."

An Muxi was speechless. Here it comes again. Why has Li Rui become so coquettish and clingy now?

"How do you want to comfort me?" An Muxi learned her lesson this time. She backed out the door while looking at Li Rui warily.

But she was no match for Li Rui, who blocked her retreat with just a quick move.

"Xi'er, where are you going? You don't even care about me anymore."

In the end, An Muxi couldn't resist Li Rui's persistence and was tricked into going to bed.

The whole afternoon passed until it was getting dark, and An Muxi finally woke up slowly.

Li Rui was actually awake the whole time, but he was reluctant to leave An Muxi, so he hugged him and took a nap for a while.

When An Muxi woke up, she helplessly found that she couldn't even get angry now, because she was the one who agreed to it just now.

Li Rui helped An Muxi put on her clothes, and then took her to have dinner.

Then he saw Jianying's figure wandering outside, as if he had something to ask him.

An Muxi also saw it and took the initiative to say: "If you have something to do, go ahead. You don't have to come back after you're done at night. Just sleep in the study!"

Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. An Muxi was really troubled and was angry with him again.

He kissed An Muxi's forehead tenderly: "No, I have to come back to sleep no matter how late it is. You know I can't even sleep well without you by my side."

An Muxi snorted and didn't want to pay attention to him anymore.

Li Rui walked out of the door helplessly and went to the study with Jianying.

"what's up?"

Jianying said, "Master, we have captured Aunt Fang's son and daughter-in-law, and led Aunt Fang out of the palace. Now she is under control."

Li Rui was shocked:

"Where is he now?"

"In the dungeon of the palace."

"Come on, I'll interrogate her myself."

Arrived at the palace dungeon.

Before I got close, I heard a family crying inside.

Li Rui sneered in his heart. They are crying and yelling before the torture even starts. It seems their mental strength is not good. If they are tortured a little harder, they will confess soon.

"Jianying, take her son out and give him a little whipping. Don't let him faint. It's necessary for the atmosphere."

After a while, Jianying ordered the guards to drag out a man who looked to be in his twenties.

Li Rui walked in and the guard opened Aunt Fang's cell door.

When Aunt Fang saw Li Rui, she realized that she had fallen into the hands of Prince Rui.

Thinking of what she had done, he trembled with fear.

"If you know what's good for you, then confess it. Otherwise, your son will suffer."

Aunt Fang was the Queen's trusted maid who came with her as a dowry. She helped the Queen do many things, one of which was about Concubine Rong.

She knew that Li Rui must have found out something, but was not sure yet, so he started with her. However, she did not want to betray the queen.

Although the queen was vicious, she grew up with the queen and the queen was good to her.

She made up her mind that she must not reveal those things no matter what. As long as she didn't say it, Li Rui would not dare to kill her.

Sooner or later the Queen would find out that she was missing and would definitely find a way to rescue her.

It's a pity that imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

When she heard her son crying and begging for mercy, she almost collapsed.

That was her only son. With the queen's support, he had been raised in luxury like a rich young man since childhood.

Now he is being tortured. How can he endure such torment?

Aunt Fang shed tears of heartache, and her daughter-in-law next to her also started crying out of fear when she heard her husband crying.

"Mother, just tell me what's on your mind. My husband can't stand it!"

The sound of whipping echoed in the dungeon, and everyone could hear it clearly, and the man's cries for mercy were also very loud.

He knew that these people arrested her because of his mother.

"Mom, just confess, right? Otherwise they will really beat their son to death."

Aunt Fang gritted her teeth and said nothing, closing her eyes silently.

Li Rui took a look and realized that this person was worthy of being the housekeeper in the Queen's Palace. She had indeed seen big scenes before. It seemed that she needed to show some strength.

"Jianying, cut off a finger to help Aunt Fang cheer!"

Aunt Fang had cold sweat running down her cheeks, but she still didn't say a word.

"Ah!~~"

After a while, Jianying came over and threw something in front of Aunt Fang.

She opened her eyes and saw the half of her little finger, and tears immediately fell like rain.

"What? Do you really think I dare not touch your son? Or I dare not touch you? Don't worry, when he can't bear it anymore, it will be your turn."

Aunt Fang was torn between her conscience and her own desires, but in the end, her love for her son prevailed.

"Your Highness, I can tell you, but can you please let my son and daughter-in-law go? They are both innocent."
