Jiang Xingkuo's eyes widened slightly.

She had met this queen before she became queen.

Even though Wan Qianni almost fell off the sedan chair and the hairpin on her head hit her forehead and hurt her, she didn't make a sound, but got off the sedan chair with a grim face, helped by the palace maids.

Jiang Xingkuo was extremely embarrassed. It was over. He was in trouble.

She could only lower her head, wishing she could bury her face in the ground.

"Slap!" Wan Qianni straightened her posture, held her elbows high, and didn't even look.

Ruyi, who was standing by, heard this and pulled Jiang Xingkuo over, raising her hand high.

Jiang Xingkuo was also confused when he heard this.

To hide or not to hide?

If I hide from this matter, it will never end, and it will also involve Emperor An Zhaoyan.

I don't want to hide, but I really can't help it.

Just as she was hesitating, Xiao'e suddenly grabbed Ruyi's wrist and said, "My queen, please show mercy!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Which palace are you from? How dare you be so presumptuous! You even disobey my order?!"

Being humiliated, Wan Qianni scolded with an ugly look on her face.

Good Xiao'e, you dare to block me. I will remember you. Jiang Xingkuo burst into tears.

"…Your Majesty, it's from the Piyue Palace." She answered first with gritted teeth.

"Shut up! Have you just entered the palace? Don't you know you have to add the word 'slave' when replying?!" Ruyi beside Wan Qianni also spoke quickly.

Jiang Xingkuo was stunned.

"Piyue Palace?" Wan Qianni walked around the two of them while thinking.

"You are trying to deceive us! The eldest princess has long left the palace and gone to the princess's mansion! No one lives in Piyue Palace anymore!" Ruyi also chimed in.

"Keep your head up!"

Wan Qianni's order choked Jiang Xingkuo. She could only raise her head in dismay.

On that perfect face, which was only the size of a palm, was an expression of stubbornness and determination. In an instant, everyone around her lost their color, leaving only her bright white teeth floating in the mind.

Her willow-shaped eyebrows are full of charm, and her eyes are dotted with stars, which makes her very lovable.

Wan Qianni stared at her, and couldn't help but feel a strange emotion rising up in her.

"Empress..." Ruyi gently pulled her sleeve, and she finally reacted.

"To reply to Your Majesty. His Majesty and the eldest princess have a deep sisterly love, and he specially sent people to guard the Piyue Palace so that the eldest princess can return to the palace to rest at any time." Xiao E suddenly stood up and said respectfully.

"...Oh..." Wan Qianni put away her strange emotions, and after hearing this explanation, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

But she still felt a little uncomfortable after being bumped into, and was about to teach these two ignorant little palace maids a lesson.

"Your Highness, I just came out of the Qinzheng Palace. This place is not far from the Qinzheng Palace. There are people waiting for His Majesty all around. I'm sure they saw Your Highness coming and went to report to His Majesty. Maybe His Majesty is waiting for Your Highness's carriage in the Qinzheng Palace right now!"

Xiao'e finished speaking in one breath. Although Wan Qianni still felt uncomfortable, the topic was successfully changed.

"Really? Then I'll be there right away."

She quickly turned around and forced a standard smile, and a group of people walked towards the Qinzheng Hall in a mighty manner.

Jiang Xingkuo breathed a sigh of relief, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao'e became unusual.

But she didn't care about anything else, she just took a fast horse and ran straight to the gate of the imperial city.

An Huanyan had already seen the wounded Wei Chuchu at this moment.

Seeing her coming, Wei Chuchu just glanced at her coldly without moving.

Her clothes had long been torn and bloodstained, and her slender hands, which she was most proud of, were already red, swollen and ulcerated, with some of her knuckles twisted in strange postures that were too painful to look at.

An Huanyan bit her lip. For some reason, she felt very guilty when she saw this scene.

"How are you……"

She asked softly, only to find out how ridiculous the question was after she asked it.

People are already like this.

Wei Chuchu still looked like a torn doll, with empty eyes, as if he didn't hear what she said.

An Huanyan took a deep breath, glanced at Lord Li not far away, then turned and left.

"Take her with you." She only said one sentence, and several guards from the princess's mansion behind her immediately helped Wei Chuchu up and carried her on their backs.

"This, this, this...this..." Lord Li smiled awkwardly and stood in front of them anxiously.

"Get out of here!" An Huanyan tightened her grip on the skirt.

"This... this... this is against the rules, Your Highness!" Lord Li almost cried.

"If you say one more word, I will step over your dead body!"

Lord Li shut up instantly and walked aside silently.

Songyan secretly glanced at An Huanyan. The eldest princess could still be so majestic.

Tengxi looked worried, but didn't dare to speak.

Wei Chuchu was quickly transferred to the princess's residence, where two doctors were called in to treat her.

Whether cleaning the wound or applying medicine, Wei Chuchu didn't say a word, even though it was so painful that she scratched the quilt and her brows were twisted into deep furrows.

Jiang Xingkuo jumped off his horse and rushed into the house, he saw this scene.

She suddenly stood there, looking at An Huanyan silently, without saying a word.

"Have a good rest, we will come to see you again."

Watching her quietly lie down in the bed and turn over with difficulty, they both felt heartbroken.

After closing the door and walking to the front hall, An Huanyan grabbed Jiang Xingkuo with an apologetic look on her face.

"I'm sorry... I went too late..."

"What are you talking about!" Jiang Xingkuo put his arm around her hair, and they hugged each other. An Huanyan immediately burst into tears.

Having lived a life of luxury for so long, she was helpless when faced with a situation like this.

"If you force her out, there will probably be a lot of trouble later. Now is not the time to cry."

Jiang Xingkuo held her face in his hands, threatening her again while gently wiping her tears with his hands.

An Huanyan nodded with tears in her eyes.

The person who went out to gather information came back and said that he had found the couple's residence.

Jiang Xingkuo immediately went out with a few servants in the mansion who were good at fighting.

These people were all former palace guards and have extraordinary skills.

Following the guide, we slowly walked out of the city.

Jiang Xingkuo lifted the curtain and took a look. The road looked more and more familiar.

"Where does he live?" she couldn't help asking.

"Girl, it's far away. We have to cross a river on the hill where the mass grave is," said the guide.

Jiang Xingkuo didn't say anything, just watched the carriage swaying through the woods and then turning into a hidden path.

Looking up at the hill, she immediately remembered.

Everything is so familiar.

The road was too rugged and winding, so they had to get off the carriage and climb up on foot. The more they climbed, the more confident they became.

It was the family where she first woke up and was circled.

After walking for a long time, a simple house appeared in front of us, confirming my guess.

"Girl, this is it." The guide whispered in her ear.

"Catch that guy for me! Don't let him get away!" Jiang Xingkuo said hatefully, gritting his back teeth.
