I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

An Huanyan suppressed her surging emotions, and without caring about anything else, she pushed An Zhaoyan, whose face was covered in blood, out of the door.

The room suddenly became extremely quiet, with only An Yuyan and Jiang Xingkuo lying on the bed.

An Yuyan sat quietly beside the bed, gently stroking that half of her peerless face, as if he wanted to keep her beauty in his heart forever. However, when his hand touched the other half of her scarred cheek, he suddenly stopped.

His hands trembled slightly, as if he could not bear such pain and blow. In the end, he withdrew his hands and looked at her silently, his eyes filled with endless pity.

The situation was chaotic, and in just a few days, the palace had changed dramatically.

An Yuyan, who held great power, directly announced to everyone that An Zhaoyan had died of his injuries, but in fact he secretly imprisoned him in a small room in the Qiankun Palace and guarded him day and night.

He wanted to take the throne, but the ministers in the court did not recognize him, thinking that he had killed the king and seized the throne, which was not right.

His confidants also advised him, "Your Majesty, we believe that your accession to the throne is not in accordance with orthodoxy."

"How dare you question this king?"

"Your Highness, you killed the king and seized the throne. How can you convince the people? Once it is leaked, it will probably cause public outrage!"

After arguing for several days, there was still no result.

On the other side, Jiang Xingkuo, who had just woken up, saw the palace maid's reaction and learned that his face was disfigured, but he was unexpectedly calm. He just curiously asked him why he also came back.

An Yuyan, feeling heartbroken, did not answer her.

He angrily summoned Tengxi and asked him who had committed such a crime against his beloved woman.

"Your Highness, all this... was done by the Queen." Teng Xi answered cautiously.

Upon hearing this news, An Yuyan's eyes instantly turned cold and ruthless, and his voice was filled with anger and murderous intent: "Queen? Is it her? What a vicious woman! She actually dared to lay hands on my woman, I will never let her go!"

There was a flash of anger in An Yuyan's eyes, as if she wanted to burn the whole world to ashes.

"Bring her to me!" An Yuyan said with gritted teeth. "No! I want to see her in person!"

Teng Xi was shocked. She knew that An Yuyan was really angry this time. She nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Kunning Palace had lost its former glory and majesty and became dilapidated. A desolate atmosphere permeated the palace, with peeling walls and dirty floors, as if it had been forgotten by time.

Wan Qianni's appearance at this moment is also very sad. The former beauty is no longer there. Her hair is disheveled, her face is pale, her clothes are tattered, and she looks very miserable. She is so hungry that her face is haggard, and her eyes reveal despair and helplessness.

Wei Chuchu also suffered the same torture and lived a hard life with Wan Qianni. The two were once enemies, but now they have to depend on each other.

When Wan Qianni saw An Yuyan, a glimmer of hope surged in her heart. She originally thought that An Yuyan would save her from the predicament, so she asked him for help: "Please, my lord, please save me!"

However, An Yuyan's eyes were filled with indifference and hatred. He glared at Wan Qianni fiercely and asked in a cold voice: "It was you who...made her face look like that?"

Wan Qianni immediately understood An Yuyan's intention. A wave of fear surged in her heart. She immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, kowtowed continuously, tears welling up in her eyes.

But An Yuyan did not say anything. She just held a sharp dagger and gestured in front of Wan Qianni.

The dagger flashed with cold light, and every time it was swung, Wan Qianni was frightened so much that her whole body trembled, her face turned pale as paper, and her body involuntarily shrank back.

At this critical moment, Wan Qianni suddenly pointed her finger at Wei Chuchu who was standing in the corner and shouted, "I didn't do it alone! She was involved too!"

Hearing this, An Yuyan's eyes became sharp and she nodded slightly to signal the guards around her.

So, two guards quickly stepped forward, pulled Wei Chuchu out from the corner, and dragged him in front of An Yuyan.

At this time, An Yuyan noticed that Wei Chuchu's belly was already bulging. He couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm and said, "I didn't expect that you are still pregnant when we meet again! That old thing is really still going strong."

However, Wan Qianni suddenly interrupted and said, "What old thing's child? That's our Wan family's seed! How could that old thing have the ability to make her pregnant!"

Hearing this, Wei Chuchu's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She remembered with horror that the prince in front of her was the nephew of the Hai family, and the Hai family and the Wan family had an irreconcilable feud.

She hurriedly explained with a trembling voice: "No, no... This child is really a descendant of the Hai family! After he is born, he will be your cousin, Your Highness. Considering this relationship, can Your Highness let me go?"

When Wan Qianni heard this, she was immediately furious and wanted to rush up and push Wei Chuchu away like a madman, but fortunately she was stopped in time by a servant beside her.

"You are such a bitch that you have been ridden by thousands of men! You even lied to me and said you were the child of the Wan family, so I saved you..."

At this moment, An Yuyan suddenly interrupted her insults and said, "Why are you arguing? We are all going to die anyway."

His tone was cold and firm, as if he had seen through everything in this world.

"——After all, whose child you are pregnant with has nothing to do with me. I would rather the Hai family has no descendants."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering their luck.

Hearing this, Wan Qianni and Wei Chuchu turned pale and trembled uncontrollably. Wei Chuchu originally thought that as long as she could give birth to the child, she could save her life, but now it seems that all this is in vain.

Wan Qianni immediately knelt down and kowtowed, muttering: "Prince, please spare my life... I beg you to spare my life... My son is still in his infancy, how will he survive if I die!"

An Yuyan sneered, "You've lost your mind. His offspring is such a disaster, how could I possibly keep him!"

Wan Qian Ni collapsed to the ground in despair as if struck by lightning.

Wei Chuchu also stuck out her belly and wanted to kowtow as well, but because of her mobility issues, she had to hold onto An Yuyan's thighs and desperately admitted her mistake.

However, An Yuyan seemed very impatient. He waved his hand and signaled the guards to pull them away.

Just as the guards were about to take action, Wei Chuchu suddenly shouted, "Wait! Your Majesty, I have a plan that will allow you to legitimately take charge of government!"

Hearing this, An Yuyan paused for a moment, his eyes flickering. He raised his head, looked at Wei Chuchu coldly, and raised his hand.

Seeing this, the guards stopped and waited for An Yuyan's instructions.
