Chapter 14: Interrogation

An Youning said in a cold tone, deliberately aggravating the word inheritance.

The queen looked at An Youning and never called her aunt again after getting the answer, and sighed helplessly in her heart.

Knowing this niece, I'm afraid that she has been separated from herself.

I wanted to explain, but after looking at the coldness in An Youning's eyes, I gave up.

After all, she is just a woman from the An family, and the top priority now should be to stop the Lin family, take back the ore vein, and use it for her own use.

But in an instant, the expression on her face returned to normal, and the queen nodded: "If you need anything, just tell Gonggong Wu." ”

An Youning kowtowed respectfully three times when he heard this, and then he bowed down and withdrew under the excuse that he still needed to go to Feng's house.

Seeing An Youning withdraw, Gonggong Wu cautiously entered the palace and watched the queen sit on the soft collapse and be distracted.

I couldn't help but whisper: "Niangniang..."

Only then did the queen come back to her senses and asked, "Gone?" ”

Hearing this, Gonggong Wu nodded.

Outside the Weiyang Palace, Mrs. Huguo saw An Youning coming out and hurriedly greeted her.

"How? What did the mother say to you? ”

Hearing this, An Youning shook his head: "It's just a few words of comfort, the second aunt Youning still has something, I don't know if I can trouble the second aunt?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Huguo looked at An Youning, and saw that she didn't want to say, so she didn't ask again, just nodded: "What's the matter?" ”

"Please also ask the second aunt to borrow some people with me, and I will need to go back to Dingbeihou Mansion to pack my things later." An Youning is here.

But the Lady Protector understood.

The things that Feng Yuanzheng took from the An family at the beginning, and if he wanted to get them back, he was afraid that it would not be so easy, so he nodded.

After this morning's incident, coupled with what she heard in the Weiyang Palace just now, she learned that An Youning was framed at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Mrs. Protector looked at An Youning, and felt a little more pity in her heart.

Thinking about the attitude of the An family towards her these days, I can't help but droop my eyes.

Whether it is for the sake of Andingshan or for the interests of the An family, it has to be managed now.

I made up my mind that I would leave the palace and bring someone over myself.

lest An Youning have no one to rely on and be bullied by the people of the Feng family.

Before he could go far, the little palace maid waiting in the Weiyang Palace hurriedly caught up: "Mrs. Protector, Miss An, please stay." ”

Mrs. Protector couldn't help but turn her head when she heard the voice, looking at the palace maid who was waiting in front of the queen, she frowned slightly and glanced at An Youning, and paused: "What's wrong?" ”

"Mrs. Protector, Niangniang said that she had something to say, so she summoned Mrs. to meet her." The little palace maid glanced at Mrs. Protector as she spoke, and then stood aside respectfully.

Mrs. Huguo's heart jumped, and then she looked at An Youning, and when she saw that her face was the same, she whispered a soft order, and then turned around and followed the palace maid back to Weiyang Palace.

Standing in place, An Youning looked at the expressions of Mrs. Protector and the little palace maid, but she understood in her heart.

Just now, he deliberately revealed the ore vein, just to attract the attention of the queen.

Now that the queen has called the Lady Protector back, she must have asked her to follow her back to the Feng family, or even let her find a way to get the vein from her own hands.

After all, it takes money to recruit troops and win over ministers.

The concubine and the Lin family need it, and the queen needs it the same as the An family.

A sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, An Youning looked at the cold palace, but he thought of King Ning's mansion.

The faces of Shen Yuanyao and Yang Yan appeared in his mind, and a coldness spread from the bottom of his heart, and even his hands and feet were cold to the bone.

Standing in the sun doesn't feel the slightest warmth.

Naturally, he didn't notice anyone approaching him.

Dressed in a jade-colored brocade robe, he stopped behind An Youning, looking at the stunned person in front of him, Xiao Jingrui frowned slightly.

I moved it manually, but it didn't stretch out.

Feeling the strangeness around him, An Youning reacted and looked back at the person who appeared behind him.

Immediately, his eyes were full of vigilance, and he took a step back before saluting: "An Youning has seen the third prince." ”

Saying that, the blessed body bowed his head.

But it made Xiao Jingrui stunned: "Are you hating me?" ”

Hearing this, An Youning frowned slightly, in her cousin's memory, she didn't have much intersection with the third prince.

Even if they met in Anfu and the palace, it was just a courtesy, and the two of them never spoke more than ten sentences, let alone get along alone.

Even if his cousin admires him, he hides it in his heart.

And the third prince's attitude towards his cousin has always been cold, and he has never looked at it more.

But the tone in which Xiao Jingrui spoke just now was not like that.

An Youning couldn't help frowning slightly, wondering if there was something wrong.

Xiao Jingrui didn't know An Youning's thoughts, seeing that she didn't respond, there was a trace of guilt and distress on his face, and he looked at the person in front of him: "You have lost a lot of weight, I know that you were wronged by that incident, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will marry you, and I will take the position of concubine with you and protect you well." ”

Hearing Xiao Jingrui say this, An Youning raised his head, but he sneered in his heart.

Listening to his words, he is afraid that he also knows about the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter what he is for, whether he is confused like the queen, or has other calculations.

At least he knew that Concubine Yu and the Feng family designed to make his cousin ugly.

knew that he didn't stop all this, but now he pretended to be pitiful, and wanted to use the position of a side concubine to make people grateful to Dade.

It's really a good calculation.

Thinking of his cousin's admiration for the three princes in his memory, An Youning couldn't help but feel sad for his cousin in his heart.

Even if you admire a man who indirectly killed you, you still be despised like this, it's really pitiful.

"The three princes are afraid that they have misunderstood, An Youning does not feel wronged, being calculated by others is just that his skills are not as good as others, and there is no need for the three princes to be pitied. An Youning is also immoral and incompetent, and he does not dare to climb high, thanks to the kindness of the third prince. ”

After saying it coldly, he blessed his body, quietly got out of the way, stood aside and never looked at Xiao Jingrui again.

Xiao Jingrui saw this, but his heart was slightly cold: "You Ning, you still hate me." ”

As he spoke, he took a step forward, as if he wanted to stretch out his hand.

Seeing this, An Youning immediately said with a serious face and a cold voice: "The third prince, please respect yourself." ”

Xiao Jingrui didn't seem to hear it, and reached out to grab An Youning's arm.

But he held a big white hand.

An Youning took the opportunity to take a few steps back, keeping a good distance from Xiao Jingrui, and then looked at the comer: "An Youning greets Prince Heng." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jingheng nodded, and then his eyes fell on the hand he and Xiao Jingrui were shaking together, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Jingrui has something to say, this is in the palace." If you let people spread it out, I'm afraid it will cause people to misunderstand. ”

said with a very helpless look, as if he was forcibly suppressing anger.
