Quick Wear: After Revenge, I and the Immortal King Renew Our Relationship

Xiao Cui's health had almost recovered, and she should have come to pay her respects to Anyan a long time ago. However, with Yu Wenyang's support, she had been putting it off.

But now Xiao Cui has moved back to Zhongcui Palace, and it would be a bit unreasonable to delay leaving any longer.

Xiao Cui wanted to go with Concubine He, so she could imitate her and avoid making mistakes. She didn't want to wait for her to get up, but she found that Concubine He had already left the house, so she hurriedly chased after her.

When Xiao Cui arrived, the concubines were excitedly talking about their recent gains, all with beaming smiles on their faces, even the gloomy Concubine He was seen smiling a bit.

Defei and Zhongxiu, who became inseparable sisters, talked about the newly ripe fruits and prepared to make fruit tea and cakes.

An Yan and Yang Fei looked at rare and unique books together and discussed geography and people's livelihood.

Noble Lady He listened attentively to Noble Lady Qian's enthusiastic talk about her recent accounting experience.

Xiao Cui had only learned the etiquette of a servant, so she knelt down and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, "Greetings to the Queen."

Everyone was chatting intently, and it wasn't intentional for them to be left alone, but when they came to their senses, they found that Xiao Cui had been kneeling for a long time, with red eyes and looked like she was about to cry.

The talking and laughing suddenly stopped.

An Yan put down the book, "Hey, when did Lu Chang come? Why did you come so quietly, like a thief? What's the meaning of just kneeling? What's the point of being wronged? Do you want me to take care of you?"

Then she looked at Noble He who had a cold expression on her face, "Noble He, didn't I ask you to take good care of her?"

Concubine He felt sick to her stomach. "In reply to your Imperial Concubine, Xiao Cui... Concubine Lu is being taken care of by a palace maid specially sent by the Emperor. I, a concubine, cannot interfere."

A few days ago, she fell seriously ill due to depression. Unexpectedly, after Xiao Cui learned about it, she "specially" rushed back to take care of her, but she was so tired that she fainted. As a result, Yu Wen Yang took Xiao Cui back home as if she were a treasure to rest, and she was scolded and almost died.

Who asked you, a disgusting, treacherous bitch, to take care of me? I would have recovered much better if you hadn't come! Concubine He cursed inwardly.

He Guiren, who escaped death, hated Xiao Cui to death. Xiao Cui's family was blamed for this and lived in dire straits.

"Since you haven't been wronged, why are you still kneeling? Stand up and sit down. Someone who doesn't know would think that I am bullying you."

Xiao Cui bit her lip and stood up unsteadily.

Concubine De glanced at her and said disdainfully, "You are indeed a slave, completely devoid of manners. You didn't even bother to express your gratitude." She took Zhong Xiu's hand and patted it gently. "Sister Xiu is naturally different. How can someone who betrays her master and climbs into bed be compared with a sister who loyally protects her master?"

Zhong Xiu smiled and didn't care, but Xiao Cui was startled and then fell down with a loud noise.

Xiao Cui was embarrassed and annoyed, tears streaming down her face, "Your servant...I don't have any."

"Yes or no, you know it well in your heart. The emperor is not here, so no one will support you no matter how pitiful you act."

As soon as Concubine Yang finished speaking, Xiao Dezi at the door shouted loudly, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone: "...Greetings to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Yuwen Yang strode in with a smile on his face, walked towards An Yan without looking away, and gently helped her up. "My beloved, there is no need to be so polite. Everyone, get up."

Among all the concubines who were well-mannered, the crooked Xiao Cui looked particularly out of place.

Yuwen Yang immediately saw her tears and was immediately distressed. He pretended to be casual and asked, "Why are you crying on the ground? Did you do something wrong and angered my beloved concubine?"

Oh, you are pretending not to know me?

"Lu Changzai is unlearned and ignorant of etiquette. Even if she has saved the emperor, how can she serve him? Being rude to me today is one thing, but if she behaves inappropriately in front of the emperor and the empress dowager in the future, it will be a serious matter."

Yu Wenyang's eyes shone, and he smiled, "How about this, Concubine Lu offended the Imperial Concubine and will be grounded for three months. She must learn the palace rules and etiquette before she can come out again."

Xiao Cui looked incredulous, tears welling in her eyes. She kowtowed aggrievedly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I'll take my leave now."

Defei and others saw clearly the coldness that flashed across his eyes.

No one spoke.

Only then did Yuwen Yang feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he couldn't put his finger on what it was.

Eunuch Wang hurriedly walked to Yuwen Yang and whispered a few words to him. Yuwen Yang was so shocked that he stood up and returned to the palace, not bothering to show his affection.

An Yan was close and vaguely heard the word "Qiao". She thought it must be feedback from General Qiao.

She looked worried, and seeing this, Defei and others comforted her with a few words and then stood up and said goodbye with a tactful look.

Xiao Rongzi looked around cautiously, then crept in like a thief and whispered in her ear, "Your Majesty, just now Lu Changzai was waiting for the Emperor at the corner. I heard her reporting something bad about you, and the Emperor is very angry."

"Also, Eunuch Wang secretly sent someone to deliver a message saying that there's news from the front lines that something seems to have happened to General Qiao. Please make preparations early."

An Yan didn't pay much attention to Xiao Cui's affairs. "Who did Yu Wenyang meet in the imperial study?"

"Prime Minister Liu."

"I understand." An Yan touched the small meteorite with an expressionless face.

Xiao Rongzi was anxious and secretly determined to protect such a beautiful lady. He also had to make some preparations, so he quietly took his leave.

An Yan leaned back in her chair and smiled, "Fortunately, General Qiao is not a foolishly loyal person."

Tuanzi suddenly appeared and asked, "Mother, how did you know?"

An Yan smiled slightly and explained to him.

On the occasion of the Queen Mother's birthday, Anyan asked Madam Qiao to send a letter to General Qiao. The letter described in detail the difficult situation of the Qiao family and the sinister intentions of Yuwen Yang that she accidentally learned about, and asked him to pay more attention to the spies around him.

There is no doubt that General Qiao is devoted to his country and his people. The only thing she is unsure of is how loyal he is to Yuwen Yang.

If the king wants me to die, I will take my family with me to the underworld without hesitation. This kind of situation is truly hopeless, and she must find another way to save her family.

Of course, An Yan also knew that it was impossible for him to rebel because of his few words, so he proposed a bet as a second best option, asking him to send someone to report back the news of the suspected disappearance. If Yuwen Yang wanted to get rid of him, he would definitely take the opportunity to attack; if he did not have this idea, it would not affect him.

After waiting for so many days, An Yan finally felt relieved, as General Qiao agreed.

"But mother, didn't Yuwen Yang start his attack on the Qiao family five years later?"

"Are you stupid? How can we turn the tables when he's fully prepared? We just have to catch him off guard."

"Although Yuwen Yang is stubborn and self-righteous, the advice of that old fox Liu Chengkun is very likely to make him waver. I think I need to add more fuel to the fire to make him make up his mind." An Yan narrowed her eyes slightly.

This is such a good opportunity, Yuwen Yang, you must seize it.
