She had originally gained His Majesty's trust and favoritism because she cured Prince Ling, and now that she had saved Princess Ning Sheng, wouldn't the trust and favoritism also increase?

Then what role will Mu Ruge have to play at that time?

She looked at Princess Yunxi, who also had a look of resentment on her face. As the princess of a country, she must have felt very uncomfortable to suffer again and again at the hands of a humble minister.

Yunxi has always been proud and arrogant, how could he swallow this?

I'm afraid you've already regarded Mu Qingyan as your lifelong enemy, right?

However, her plan to get Princess Ning Sheng to marry today failed, and the marriage would most likely fall on her. At this moment, how would she deal with it?

Queen Mother Lan said hypocritically, "The people around Ning Sheng are too careless. How could they let the princess act alone? And she even fell into the water? In my opinion, the people around Ning Sheng need to be severely punished, otherwise things like today may happen again in the future."

The Empress Dowager wanted to use the punishment of the palace maids to prevent Emperor Jianning from investigating the matter further.

How could Emperor Jianning let her have her wish? "The Queen Mother is wrong. No matter how dedicated the palace maids are, they can't stop someone from deliberately harming them. I would like to ask, how did the Crown Prince of Yi Country appear by the lake?"

Mu Qingyan walked up to him and whispered, "If you want to leave Da'an in one piece, I advise you not to be like a mad dog and want to bite everyone you catch."

After saying this, he pulled out the silver needles that sealed his acupoints and returned to his seat.

Kang Cheng resumed his actions and dared not to stir up trouble again.

He simply made a fuss and said that someone had told him to go. As for who the message was, his eyes rolled around the hall and finally stopped on Lan Hui's face.

Lan Hui was pregnant with a big belly. When she saw Kang Cheng's eyes on her, she was so panicked that she almost crushed the handkerchief in her hand.

It was true that she was the one who spread the words, but it was Princess Yunxi who asked her to spread them.

Mu Ruge also had a hand in this, because she was the one who came up with the idea.

But these two people have the support of the Queen Mother, but she does not.

If something happened, the Queen Mother would not speak for her.

Thinking of this, she had to cover her stomach and pretend to have a stomachache in order to avoid punishment.

Sure enough, this trick is particularly useful.

The Queen Mother quickly had her taken to a side hall and invited the imperial physician to see her.

After feeling the pulse, the imperial physician replied, "Second Young Master's wife, you accidentally had a miscarriage and need to stay in bed to rest..."

No matter how much the wife of Marquis Xiangning disliked her daughter-in-law, she could not ignore the safety of her own family. After all, if this matter was related to Lan Hui, it would be a serious crime of murdering the princess. If it really had to be investigated, the heads of the entire Marquis's mansion would be chopped off.

She didn't understand why her daughter-in-law was so stupid. She was always taken advantage of and in the end she didn't get any benefits at all. All the mistakes were hers.

She was really blind at the time. How could she think that this was a virtuous, intelligent and smart woman!

Now it seems so stupid!

"Your Highness, why were you staring at my daughter-in-law just now? How could a pregnant woman like her catch the eye of Your Highness?"

The Liang family came from a prominent family and they were never willing to suffer any loss.

If it were her personality, she would never accept a woman like Lan Hui who couldn't even keep her innocence! But she couldn't help but her son liked her!

So she had been holding this anger in her heart. If she hadn't been pregnant and she was worried that something might happen to her eldest grandson, she would have had someone teach her a lesson long ago!

Kang Cheng was choked by such words and was unable to respond.

It was indeed inappropriate for him to stare at a woman like that just now.

However, he just wanted to let everyone present know that it was that woman who gave him the message and asked him to get out!

Of course, he also has his own selfish motives.

If the Yi Kingdom could marry a princess and take her back, it would at least help to appease the resentment of the ministers in the Yi Kingdom.

Whether she is Emperor Anguo's sister or his daughter, as long as she is a princess, she will be fine.

Anyway, he is just a guest today, and the magnanimous host will not kick him out because of his momentary confusion.

This is not good for the diplomatic relations between the two countries. No matter how bad he is, he is still a prince...

He was happy to see chaos in the Anguo court, whether it was chaos within the royal family or chaos caused by court officials forming factions for personal gain.

Thinking of this, he smiled a little embarrassedly, "Madam, you are joking. I just think your daughter-in-law looks familiar. After all, the person who just passed the message to me looks very similar to her..."

Liang was unyielding. "My daughter-in-law is pregnant and has difficulty moving around. It's already difficult for her to enter the palace for the banquet. Why would she walk around and cause trouble? Besides, she has no personal relationship with the Crown Prince, so why would she go out and pass on a message to you?"

Emperor Jianning coughed, and Kang Cheng quickly turned around.

"Your Majesty, I did not lie. Please believe me..."

"If anyone can pass on a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince believes it, then how did you become the Crown Prince?"

The person who said this was King Ling.

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall took a deep breath and held it tightly.

His Royal Highness Prince Ling looked at Ji Yue Gao Feng and didn't expect that he was so skillful in scolding people.

What you meant just now was, how did you become the crown prince if you are so stupid?

The Crown Prince of Yi Country did not care. "Your Highness, there is no need to mock me. I have come all the way to your An Country. I admire all the customs and people here. What I saw at the palace banquet today opened my eyes..."

This sarcastic look made Mu Qingyan a little angry.

She also imitated Kang Cheng's tone and said, "I'm afraid there isn't even a good-looking woman in Yi Country? No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to marry everyone..."

Old Madam Gu secretly squeezed her hand, signaling her not to show off her talents, so as not to get into trouble.

Mu Qingyan gave her a smile as a response, but she did not hold back, "First it was me, then Princess Ning Sheng. Your Highness the Crown Prince can't even decide who to marry, and you still have to rely on some big shot in my An country to make decisions for you?"

These words undoubtedly dragged Empress Dowager Lan into the water again.

The portrait was her idea.

But she couldn't refute it out loud, because if she did, it would prove that she was guilty.

Princess Yunxi was so quiet at this moment that her presence was almost invisible. His Majesty didn't even need to investigate Ning Sheng's fall into the water tonight, as he knew she was involved.

Because it involved the prince of Yi State, the motive was too obvious.

But she never expected that Mu Qingyan would appear there and jump into the water to save people before the Prince of Yi State!
