My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

"Hey, this is a gift for you, see if you like it?"

"Thank you. Why did you prepare a gift?" An Qingqian was really shocked when she saw the box on the table.

"It's just a casual preparation, don't think too much about it." Lan Mingyue said stubbornly.

An Qingqian smiled without saying anything. She opened the box and saw a necklace inside. It was a gold necklace inlaid with pearls and gems.

In the middle of the necklace is a ruby ​​inlaid with gold, with a teardrop-shaped blue gem hanging below. The entire necklace is made of gold and is also inlaid with blue gems and a number of pearls, but these gems are smaller than the one in the middle.

The necklace is padded with red silk, making it look particularly precious.

This is very rare at first glance, how could it be something picked out at random?

An Qingqian knew in her heart that Lan Mingyue must have put a lot of thought into finding such a necklace, but she just didn't want to admit it.

"This necklace is so beautiful. I have never seen such a luxurious and exquisite necklace." An Qingqian smiled gently and kept praising it.

"Huh, really? I just picked it randomly."

Lan Mingyue felt very happy when she heard these compliments. Fortunately, An Qingqian knew the value of the item. She had gone to great lengths to find this thing, but she still refused to admit it.

"Mingyue, thank you so much." An Qingqian thanked solemnly.

"Hehe, why are you so serious?" An Qingqian's serious look of thanks made Lan Mingyue a little at a loss.

"Nothing, I just think you're a really nice person." An Qingqian praised sincerely.

"Okay, okay, it's just a little thing." Hearing An Qingqian's praise, Lan Mingyue felt a little embarrassed, and her ears slowly turned red.

"You asked me out today, right? Just to give me this thing?" An Qingqian looked at Lan Mingyue with a smile.

An Qingqian guessed that Lan Mingyue must have other things to do.

"Do you remember the last time at the palace banquet, you said someone wanted to put drugs in my teacup. I asked someone to check the tea inside, and sure enough, they found something inside."

Lan Mingyue knew that this matter had been kept in her heart for a long time, so she wanted to take this opportunity to tell An Qingqian about the situation.

"What's inside?"

"It contains a chronic poison. Those who are poisoned will first have symptoms of fever and chills, then faint, lose appetite, and slowly fall into a coma. However, it will not cause any serious damage. It's just that these symptoms seem mild at first, so it's easy to misdiagnose."

Lan Mingyue said this with anger on her face.

"This antidote is extremely hard to find. The doctor who examined it said that he had only seen it in a book but had never seen it before. This is the first time he has seen it."

"Then, Lord Prime Minister, have you found out who drugged me?" An Qingqian's face became serious when he heard this.

"My father sent people to investigate, but the clues were broken. The palace maid who drugged her died tragically outside the palace. She was just a small maid who cleaned the palace. She had no background, and no one was found to have had any contact with her.

Once she died, all clues were cut off."

Lan Mingyue said this and sighed again.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, where did you know this news? If it weren't for you, I would have been fooled by now." Lan Mingyue suddenly remembered that it was fortunate that An Qingqian reminded her of this matter.

"This... Looking at Lan Mingyue's expectant eyes, An Qingqian hesitated a little.

"What's wrong? Isn't it inconvenient for you to tell me?" Lan Mingyue frowned and looked at An Qingqian, obviously seeing her dilemma.

"It's not inconvenient." An Qingqian shook her head, then moved a little closer to Lan Mingyue and spoke in a low voice.

"The voice I heard was King Cheng's. However, I only heard the voice and didn't see the person." An Qingqian thought about it and considered his wording.

"What? It's him? Him again!" When Lan Mingyue heard that it was King Cheng, she was immediately furious.

"Mingyue, tell the Prime Minister about this matter and ask him to follow this clue and investigate carefully to see if he can find any clues."

"Why are you still investigating? It must be him who did it." Lan Mingyue slapped the table hard.

"It's better to find out clearly. Besides, I have met King Cheng very few times, so I can only hear a general idea." An Qingqian advised seriously.

After all, King Cheng is the emperor's son, so we must not be careless about this matter. Suspicion alone is not enough, the most important thing is evidence.

"I know." Lan Mingyue's face looked grim, and she knew in her heart that this matter was very tricky.

"Mingyue, I have an idea."

"what?"

"I've only heard of thieves thieves for a thousand days, but I've never heard of guarding against thieves for a thousand days. I think you might be able to take advantage of this."

An Qingqian looked at Lan Mingyue meaningfully.

The Prime Minister is upright and a loyal minister, and Lan Mingyue is also a kind person.

They should not be exploited and dragged into the royal feud.

"I understand." Lan Mingyue was not stupid, so she naturally understood what An Qingqian meant and nodded solemnly.

"Alright, alright, let's just let this matter pass. You should be more careful in your daily life and never let the enemy find you and harm you."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I heard that the snacks at Linxian Teahouse are very good. Since we are here today, wouldn't it be a pity if we don't try some?"

An Qingqian smiled gently, and seeing that Lan Mingyue was still gloomy, she changed the subject calmly.

"Yeah." Lan Mingyue still had a frown on her face.

"Huh? Dahongpao?" An Qingqian took the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Lan Mingyue and recognized it at once.

"Yes, this is the tea I brought from the mansion specially and asked the shopkeeper here to personally make for us."

Lan Mingyue nodded and continued to explain.

"I asked, and there's no Da Hong Pao here, so I brought some here myself."

"Do you like to drink Dahongpao?" An Qingqian was a little surprised when he heard that.

"Yeah, you don't like it anymore?"

Lan Mingyue nodded. She liked this tea the most. She remembered that An Qingqian also liked Dahongpao very much. Could it be that she doesn’t like it anymore now?

"I like it. I liked it before, and I still like it now." An Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled.

After the two of them finished talking, Lan Mingyue instructed Xiaoshi to urge the waiter at the teahouse to deliver the snacks that had been ordered earlier.

The two of them had some tea and snacks, chatted for a while, and then went back.

As soon as An Qingqian returned to the general's mansion, she saw the guard at the door coming forward to report.

"Miss, someone from the Marquis of Lin'an Mansion just came to look for you."

"Someone from Lin'an Marquis' Mansion? Who is it?" An Qingqian asked suspiciously.

"She said her name was Zhang Qingsha and she was your cousin." the guard replied.

"What do you mean Miss's cousin? That's the cousin of Marquis Lin'an. Don't call her that anymore. Our Miss has never had any cousins. Do you understand?"
