My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

An Ran looked up and smiled sweetly: "An Ran greets Concubine Ru."

"Everyone, get up." After sitting down in the main hall, Concubine Ru looked at An Ran again, "What were you doing just now..."

"Practicing martial arts, I'm teaching my sisters martial arts!" An Ran answered crisply, then stepped forward and looked at Concubine Ru from left to right.

Seeing her rudeness, Jinxiu was about to get angry, but she heard Anran sigh, "Has anyone told Concubine Ru that with your bone structure and talent, it would be a pity if you don't learn martial arts. You are especially suitable for learning my master's Thunderbolt Palm."

Princess Ru: ...

An Ran: "If your Majesty is interested, I can teach you."

Concubine Ru forced a smile on her face: "...I won't learn it. Fighting and killing in the harem, how can it be decent?"

There was a glimmer of envy in her eyes.

She envied An Ran and was even a little jealous.

If one can live out one's true self like this, who would want to be imprisoned in the deep palace and live with a mask on for the rest of their life?

She suddenly understood why her son wanted to marry Miss An.

The King of Chu lived for nearly twenty years wearing a mask, turning himself into a person that everyone sneered at. How could he have ever lived such a free and easy life?

Peace is his medicine and his longing.

She was very happy to have such a woman to brighten the gloomy life of the King of Chu.

However, is the girl happy?

She took An Ran's hand and patted it affectionately: "Miss An, if you are used to it, can you stay in the mansion for a few more days?"

Seeing her kindness, An Ran relaxed a little more: "Your Highness, I ran away secretly. The prince promised me that he would send someone to send me back after my injury healed. You see, my leg injury has healed, and I can still teach my sisters martial arts. But the prince always says he doesn't have time."

Seeing her pouting lips, which made her look very cute against her dazzling red outfit, Concubine Ru said, "Since you ran away secretly, you should let your parents at home rest assured. I will immediately send someone to send a letter to Minister An to tell them not to worry."

An Ran waved her hand and said, "That's not necessary. They won't worry about me."

Concubine Ru: "...Then let's do as the King of Chu said, wait a few more days, and go back with King Jing."

"Prince Jing of Zhenguo? Is he also in Changguo?"

Ru Fei: Oh no, it seems that my son has never thought of letting Miss An leave. But she has to have you in her heart.

Thinking of this, she added, "I like you very much. After Miss An goes back, would you be willing to come again?"

An Ran tilted her head and thought for a moment. She felt that this place was quite interesting, but she had to find her master first. She smiled and answered cheerfully, "Sure, the prince is my good friend, and there are so many sisters. They are all my good sisters."

Concubine Ru: "Just good friends? A few days ago, my silly son was still saying that he wanted to marry Miss An as his principal wife."

She fell in love with An Ran at first sight, and knowing her son's character, she couldn't help but want to bring them together.

A large group of beautiful girls outside also spoke up at the right time, "That's great, we can finally leave the palace immediately and let my sister and the prince..."

"The principal wife?" An Ran was shocked: "I, I haven't thought about it."

Then, she suddenly thought of Mei Jiayun.

Then, she had a heart attack.

Concubine Ru was so frightened that she was in a panic. She quickly hugged her and called the court doctor to treat her.

When the situation was in chaos, the King of Chu rushed in desperately: "Mother, please don't embarrass that damn girl... Damn girl, what's wrong with you..."

Just now, the servants in the mansion hurriedly reported to him that Concubine Ru had suddenly visited. He was so scared that he didn't care about anything and ran back quickly.

He was afraid that his mother would make things difficult for An Ran.

After I came back, I remembered:

Given my mother's personality, how could she embarrass others for no reason?

With An Ran's personality, how could he not be able to handle his mother?

It's just that I was worried and confused, and I was panicked for a moment.

Anran’s “illness” came and went quickly, and she is now recovered.

So everyone looked at the King of Chu who was standing stunned at the door as if he were an idiot.

"Woof~~~Ao~~~~Woo~~~~" Ah Huang's barking broke the momentary silence in the Prince Chu's Mansion.

Before the King of Chu could come to his senses, An Ran had already rushed over and swung her Thunderbolt Palm: "You, you liar, you said you would find someone to send me back, but it turns out you were lying to me. You don't let me go, what is your intention, tell me, tell me..."

The King of Chu was unwilling to fight with her, and he couldn't even bear to defend himself. He could only hide, and An Ran chased him and beat him all the way.

The King of Chu was chased and squatted beside Ah Huang's doghouse with his head in his hands, looking at Concubine Ru for help.

But Concubine Ru pretended to cough twice and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first... You guys, have fun..."

When An Ran heard this, she withdrew her hand and looked at Concubine Ru: "My Lady, this is the Thunderbolt Palm, do you really not want to consider it?"

Concubine Ru shuddered for no reason and responded, "Okay, I'll think about it..."

When she was leaving the house, she noticed that there was someone standing in front of the door.

"Foreign minister Cui Hongjing pays respects to Concubine Ru."

"Are you the envoy of the True Kingdom, Prince Jing?"

"That's right. Just now, the King of Chu was discussing with me about signing the letter of credence tomorrow. Suddenly, he became frightened and left in a hurry. I came with him to see if there was anything I could do for him."

Concubine Ru said "oh" and looked back at the aggrieved King Chu: "I am going back now. Can I trouble King Jing to comfort me?"

An Ran also saw Cui Hongjing. When she learned that Mei Xueer was also in the inn, her eyes lit up. She immediately left everyone behind and ran towards the inn happily.

An Ran started crying as soon as she saw Mei Xueer, completely ignoring Mei Xueer's shock after seeing her.

"Master, Master... the little turtle you gave me..."

"...Turtle...what happened?"

"Master, the little turtle was roasted and eaten by the King of Chu."

"Ah... stop crying, I can wring water out of my clothes... Master will help you vent your anger. If anyone dares to eat our An Ran turtle, I will cut open its belly and take out the little turtle. Maybe I can even piece together a complete one..."

Upon hearing this, An Ran really stopped crying, but suddenly she cried even louder: "Master, I, I also ate one..."

Mei Xueer: ...

An Ran: "Master, this is a crossbow made by my master. It can be hidden in the sleeve and kill people without being seen. I spent a long time to get my master to give it to me. I thought that you are not good at fighting and have no skills, so you always get into trouble. I thought of giving it to you for self-defense... You, please don't cut open my belly..."

Mei Xueer: ...I know I don't have much ability, but you don't have to say it so loudly.

……

The two were recounting their experiences over the past few days when Nanxing suddenly came in: "The King of Chu is here, bringing many gifts, and he said he is here to propose marriage."
