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

In the princess's mansion, An Huanyan was directing the servants to decorate the yard bit by bit.

Yutai suddenly rushed in without saying hello, hugged An Huanyan's legs and started crying.

"Princess! Princess! Something happened! Something happened in Ruixue Hall!"

"What?" An Huanyan blinked, trying to think quickly.

Songyan pulled her up, and Yutai was already crying with tears and snot.

Tengxi quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her, then said softly:

"You should explain it to Her Royal Highness slowly first."

Yutai then slowly stopped crying and choked up:

"Rui Xue Tang...someone's dead!"

An Huanyan was surprised.

"This morning, a big man and several others came to cause trouble, saying that his wife drank the pearl milk tea from our Runxuetang last night. She had a stomachache all night after returning home, and died before dawn..."

Yutai tugged at her apron nervously, and Songyan grabbed her hand and asked, "What next?"

"Then that big man brought a group of people to smash our store and reported it to the police. Then...then...Sister Chuchu was taken away by the government!"

"...So fast?" Tengxi murmured.

"That is to say, when the store was smashed, our people also reported it to the police, but the police who came took Sister Chuchu away. Princess, what should we do? Miss Jiang is not here..."

As Yutai spoke, she was about to cry again.

"There are still quite a few people gathered outside Runxue Hall, all scolding us for being evil and treacherous, and saying that evil will be punished!"

An Huanyan patted her absentmindedly, her eyes empty, "Don't worry, don't worry, let me think about it first..."

She walked back and forth in the yard, but remained silent.

Due to her married status, it was not easy for her to return to the palace, so she could only act according to circumstances.

She had just moved into the princess's mansion a few days ago, and had been taking care of the affairs of the mansion these days, and had not taken care of Ruixue Hall.

Wei Chuchu was in charge of Ruixue Hall, and Jiang Xingkuo in the palace would send out some instructions from time to time, so she was not familiar with the operation of the place and could not think of a solution for the time being.

After Tengxi comforted Yutai, Songyan found someone to ride back to the palace quickly to bring the news to Jiang Xingkuo.

An Huanyan pondered for a while and could only start with the strangest point of the matter.

"Yutai, let me ask you first, have you ever seen the woman who died of poisoning come to the store?"

"I asked the waiter, and he said, he said, he remembered that when the woman and her husband came, they didn't line up, but the woman was yelling and making a lot of noise in the store, and many other customers left."

"What's the quarrel?"

"I don't quite remember, but I think he was calling his official a coward, saying he couldn't even do this, and yet he had to come in person, and there were so many people queuing up... He kept scolding and pushing and shoving."

Yutai tried hard to recall.

"Later, Sister Chuchu came out and asked her to leave. She queued up reluctantly, but she kept cursing her husband. Seeing this, Sister Chuchu didn't say anything. It was better to open the door for business and make money in harmony. But just one day later..."

An Huanyan had a splitting headache. She had no experience at all.

"Is there anything wrong with the stuff you sold yesterday? Are you sure it's clean?"

Yutai shook his head fiercely.

"Absolutely not. The waiters in the store ate it yesterday while they were resting, and there were so many customers, so no one was hurt."

"That's even weirder." An Huanyan held her chin.

After a while, she suddenly remembered:

"Wait! You said Wei Chuchu was taken away by the bailiffs?"

"Yes, the bailiffs were very fierce. They dragged her away without any explanation..."

An Huanyan turned to Song Yan, "Song Yan, who is the governor of Youling Prefecture now?"

"Princess, this is Judge Li Kun, a subordinate of Prefect Yan. Ever since Yan Buwan... Concubine Shu stepped down, he reported Prefect Yan overnight and was able to take over. He came to the Princess's residence to give gifts a few days ago, but was sent back by this servant."

Songyan looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

"Promotion so fast? Skipping two levels?" An Huanyan asked casually.

"Your Highness, it's hard to say. Maybe someone pushed it from behind."

Song Yan's words suddenly woke An Huanyan up.

"Not good! Go to the government office and save them!"

An Huanyan suddenly realized that this matter was not simple.

"Princess, why are you in such a hurry? The trial is probably still going on. The result won't come that quickly."

Although Songyan said this, he still kept up with her speed.

An Huanyan didn't even turn her head, feeling extremely anxious.

"It was too deliberate. The way that woman appeared was too deliberate."

"They deliberately went to the store and made a lot of noise and a scene, trying to attract everyone's attention so that others would remember that they had been in the store."

I felt a chill down my spine, and the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.

I vaguely felt that someone was targeting Ruixuetang.

"Princess... maybe that's just their personality?" Songyan didn't understand.

"Then why is his husband okay?"

"Maybe... he didn't drink..." Songyan guessed.

"A cowardly man who dares not say a word when being beaten and scolded, but immediately drags his wife's body to make trouble after her death. Could it be that he is deeply in love with his wife? I don't believe it."

Songyan nodded thoughtfully.

The horses galloped very fast under the scorching sun, and soon they arrived at the gate of Youling government office.

The crowd gathered at the door was slowly dispersing.

Songyan got off the carriage and was about to inform the gatekeeper.

"Wait! Songyan! Come back!" An Huanyan lifted the curtain in the carriage.

Songyan came back quickly.

Two middle-aged ladies walked by together.

"What a pity for such a beautiful girl! Look at her hands! They're probably broken!"

"What a pity! You probably don't know it yet! She is the courtesan who was drunk in Qingfeng before! A vixen! What a pity!"

"Oh my! I was telling you! Those seductive eyes made me panic! Turns out she's a lowly bastard from a brothel!"

"That's right! I thought I could become a good person just by opening a shop! I didn't expect that he would commit murder for money!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Song Yan looked at An Huanyan, whose face was as black as charcoal, and did not dare to speak.

"It's still too late."

An Huanyan got out of the car.

"Enter through the side door."

She clenched her fists in her wide sleeves and said through gritted teeth, "I want to have a good talk with the prefect."

Song Yan looked at An Huanyan in shock. She rarely saw An Huanyan so serious.

In the back hall of the government office, An Huanyan knocked the lid of the cup in her hand again and again but refused to take a sip.

Li Fuyin glanced at her several times with a guilty conscience.

He had met the eldest princess before, when he was just a small judge.

It's just that he hasn't seen her for a long time, and even though he has climbed to his current position, he is still stunned by An Huanyan's elegant temperament.

"… Your Highness, what are you doing today…"

Before Li Fuyin could finish his words, "Bang!" An Huanyan threw the teacup onto the table, splashing all over his face.

"Ouch! Ouch..." The scalding hot tea made his face hurt, but made him even more frightened.

"Your Majesty... Your Highness..."

An Huanyan glanced at him coldly, "Where is Wei Chuchu?"

Li Fuyin's heart skipped a beat. "Your Highness... Your Highness is..."

"Oh. Wei Chuchu is an old friend of mine. So he is very concerned about this matter. Could you please tell me how the case was judged?"

An Huanyan didn't look at him. She just turned over her hand and looked at her nails as if nothing had happened.

Li Fuyin felt as if he had been hit by a heavy blow. He stammered for a long time and could not utter a word.

After all, it was not without reason that he felt guilty.
