Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me
Chapter 155: It's natural to say that it's not
Little did he know that someone in the Mu family seemed to have remembered him at this moment. A brilliant and cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he raised his white hand lightly and tapped lightly in the air.
"Don't you like pretending? Then keep pretending. You said your leg is broken, so you should keep your word, right?"
In her past life, she had loved that man so much that even though she didn't know his leg illness was fake, she still cared for him and cherished him wholeheartedly, with a heart that was pure and sincere, without any adulteration. But what did she get in return? Deception, exploitation, and betrayal!
Not only did he harm her, but he also caused the tragic deaths of her entire family. No one had a good ending!
Qiu Jin asked curiously while packing her things, "Young lady, there has been no movement from the Imperial Concubine recently. Do you think she will really follow the path we have arranged for her?"
"Qiu Jin, remember this: human hearts are the most vulnerable to temptation, especially when there are too many interests involved."
As if he had thought of something, Mu Qingli played with the jade ring in his hand with a sarcastic smile between his lips.
She has been making all-out efforts these days, and with the help of others, the reputation of the imperial concubine and her party has been completely ruined, both in public and in private. Now, people complain about them whenever they mention them.
Sometimes the voices of the people have little effect on the officials in the court, but once they get out of hand, there are still people who can hear them. This is why the staff in Prince An's mansion are worried and talk about things frequently recently.
Qiu Jin nodded in understanding, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
Now, the most promising heirs to the throne in Beijing are Prince An, son of Concubine An, and Prince Ting, son of the Queen. The fifth prince, son of Concubine Shu, is also very promising, but everyone knows that he prefers to travel around the country!
This is also why although Concubine Shu is still favored, their party does not have as many connections as the other two factions.
Nowadays, Prince An's reputation among the people has plummeted, which has made the Queen's party even more arrogant. But the Imperial Concubine hates the Queen to the core. Can she really bear the feeling of losing power?
Mu Qingli was in a really good mood. He stood in front of the window and looked up at the sunlight projected from the void. Even his face was covered with a layer of glow, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
"And haven't you already spread the news that the emperor is dying? He should have learned the true condition of his body by now, right? I wonder if he can still withstand this blow?"
After thinking for a while, she turned back to look at Qixue, with dark eyes.
"Go and inform her that I will take good care of Xiao Li from now on, so she can rest assured."
Qilan and Qixue were silent for a moment, then Qixue frowned slightly and knelt down to agree.
"Yes, don't worry, girl."
Mu Qingli was indeed relieved. The three girls around her each had their own areas of expertise. She had long been a hands-off boss and was naturally happy and relaxed. She also trusted their abilities very much.
Qixue moved quickly and soon turned around and went to the backyard to release a little sparrow.
(Tingwangfu)
The leg that had been healed with great difficulty suddenly became useless again recently. Lu Tingqi secretly found many doctors to check his pulse but still could not find the reason why his leg became useless again.
It is precisely because of this that his mood has been so bad recently. Outsiders may not know it yet, but the atmosphere in the mansion is indeed unusually quiet. The servants are also very nervous when doing things, for fear that they might accidentally anger him and be punished.
But who would have known that a guest would suddenly come to the mansion at this time. Prince An, who had rarely been to Prince Ting's mansion, actually came to visit, and even brought with him a concubine he had just casually appointed a few days ago.
The steward of Prince Ting's mansion stopped the man with a panicked look, and tried to persuade him politely and tactfully.
"Your Highness Prince An, why are you here so suddenly? My prince has not been feeling well these past few days, and I'm afraid our mansion can't accommodate you. Why don't you come over in a few days?"
The most important thing was that this guy reeked of alcohol, clearly having just had a few drinks. If he ran into his own prince, who was currently in a bad mood, wouldn't he cause a scene? What if he said something unpleasant while drunk? That would irritate his master, wouldn't it?
Prince An's face was still flushed, and he reeked of alcohol as he spoke, especially with a pretty and delicate beauty in his arms. He waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Hey~ What's the big deal? Your master and I are brothers. Since he's ill, I should go visit him and fulfill my brotherly duty! Just lead the way. Where is my good brother?"
The housekeeper felt a headache when he saw him like this. He quickly glanced at the servant beside him and asked him to go to the backyard to remind his master that Prince An was coming, and then raised his foot to stop the man.
"Your Highness Prince An, please don't worry. Our prince might still be asleep. Otherwise, you should follow me to the main hall and sit for a while. Our prince should be here soon."
Even if outsiders don't know, doesn't he know it? His Highness is currently venting his temper in the backyard. He is a person who cares about his reputation. If Prince An sees him in such a rage, what will happen?
Who knew that Prince An hadn't spoken yet, but the woman in his arms smiled and spoke, as if she inadvertently pointed out the truth he was trying to hide.
"Your Highness, the butler doesn't seem to want us to meet His Highness the Prince of Ting. Is it because His Highness is not convenient right now? Or is it because of what has happened recently that he simply doesn't want us to be seen?"
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as she mentioned Prince An, he sobered up a little and glared at the butler with a gloomy face, which was very scary.
"What do you mean? It's a rare opportunity for me to visit my brother's residence, and yet he doesn't welcome me? Could it be that I've offended him recently? Does he look down on me and my mother by being so disrespectful to me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the butler was so frightened that his face turned pale. After a moment of shock, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to him, begging for mercy and apologizing.
"Your Highness Prince An, please spare me. That's not what I meant! Please don't misunderstand me. My prince is indeed ill and hasn't been feeling well these past few days. I'm worried that he might be infected. I mean this out of kindness!"
Song Yuhan's eyes swept over him calmly, her eyes flashed and she quickly put her little hand on Prince An's chest to calm his emotions, her voice gentle.
"Your Highness, don't be angry. Your health is the most important thing. If you are really worried about your brother, let's go over and take a look. If anything happens, we can help. Maybe the old butler really does have good intentions."
He didn't know whether it was a good intention or not, but he wanted to see what his good brother was doing! What kind of shameful secrets did the Ting Palace hide?
Prince An hugged the beauty and glanced at the butler sinisterly. The butler ignored him and walked in the direction he remembered.
It's not like he has been here before, how can we stop him?
