Within the Prince An's Palace, there was a wave of suona shaking the sky, and lanterns were being lit. It was a scene of celebration …
An Lingge was sitting in front of a copper mirror, wearing a fiery red dress as she pursed her lips. The two maidservants behind her helped her to dress up.
Today, she was the most beautiful bride in the capital.
In another half an hour, once the people from Prince Mu’s Palace arrived, she would leave the An clan and become someone's wife. From then on, she would become the Princess Mu and would no longer be the An clan's young miss.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from beyond the curtain. An Lingge had just guessed if it was her concubine who came over, and was about to stand up to welcome her.
"The two of you, go stand guard outside."
So it was his sister An Lingyi!
An Lingge turned around. Just as she was about to ask his sister how she came to be here, she didn't expect to see An Lingyi wearing a phoenix coronet formal gown, with rosy lips and white teeth, like a bride's attire.
An Lingge could not help but be stunned. Why was Ling Yi also wearing a phoenix coronet and ceremonial gown? She had never heard of Little Sister Ling Yi getting married today?
"Big sister, you haven't eaten anything since you woke up this morning. Father told me to bring you a bowl of porridge mat, quickly drink it when it's hot!"
An Lingyi was still holding onto a bowl of bird's nest porridge. Seeing An Lingge turn around, she paused for a moment before walking forward and placing the porridge in front of him.
"Mm, thank you sister …" An Lingge's heart warmed. She did not think too much and indeed, she was a little hungry. She picked up the congee and started drinking.
"Little sister Ling Yi, you're …?"
"Elder sister is asking about my phoenix coronet dress?" An Lingyi laughed, walked around An Lingge, and then asked: "How is it, not bad right?"
"Mm …" Very beautiful! But... Why didn't I hear that you were married today, sister? "Father and aunt never told me either …" For some reason, after An Lingge drank two mouthfuls of the bird's nest porridge, she felt that her head was a little heavy.
"Since big sister thinks that she's beautiful too, then do you think that if I wear this and marry Junhan, he would also be breathtaking?" An Lingge maintained her smile, but An Lingge was stunned.
Junhan? Mu Junhan? Is there a second Mu Junhan in the capital?
"Elder sister doesn't need to think about it. Junhan is Young Master Mu. In another fifteen minutes, Junhan will probably be here. But, I believe elder sister won't be able to see him!"
An Lingyi's expression turned cold, but at this time, An Lingge's head became even heavier, not only that, her stomach started to hurt, and it felt as if something was blocking her throat, making him unable to breathe.
"You … You poisoned me? " An Lingge looked at the bird's nest porridge in her bowl and was suddenly enlightened. She looked at An Lingyi in disbelief! She really didn't understand why the other party would do this to her.
She did her best to choke down her throat as she tried to spit out the soup. However, it was to no avail. In the end, all she could spit out was a mouthful of shocking blood.
"Elder sister, you don't have to go through so much trouble. This is the Gut Cutting poison from the Southern Wilderness. It can seal one's throat with blood, and it can take a person's life in less than half an hour. There is no cure for this house."
An Lingge's body could no longer control her body. The pain in her stomach was unbearable, and she fell off the chair, spitting out another mouthful of blood.
"Is... "What?"
She didn't understand why her younger sister, who was usually very close to her, would poison her at such a time.
"Why? Hehe, An Lingyi sneered, and continued to speak: "You are the direct descendent of the Prince An's Palace, if you don't die, how can I marry Junhan in your place?"
An Lingge's eyes widened to the point of bursting. She never would have thought that it was actually because of this reason.
When the emperor was betrothing Prince An's Palace and Prince Mu’s Palace, she had even thought of withdrawing herself and letting her younger sister marry him. But since the other party had a high position in the Prince Mu’s Palace, as long as the eldest daughter of the Prince An's Palace had not been married off, it would definitely not be An Lingyi's turn to marry a concubine and second young miss.
Was it because of this that his little sister was going to poison him to death?
"You …" He wasn't afraid that his father would know … "Is it true?" An Lingge's vision had already darkened a little, but he still couldn't understand why his normally kind little sister would try to harm him!
"Now that you're dead, someone from the Prince Mu’s Palace is already halfway there. Do you think Father still has a choice?" An Lingyi sneered: "Now, if I don't marry in your place, what do you think father would think about Prince Mu’s Palace? Does the An clan still have a foothold in the capital? "
"My good sister, you can go and reunite with your mother now! "Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Your mother is also the one who sent me and my mother on the road. I personally sent you to reunite with her because of how you missed her, that's a kindness to you, right?"
"You …" An Lingge spat out another mouthful of blood. After learning of this shocking secret from An Lingyi, she felt like she was struck by lightning!
Thanks to the care of Madam Li and An Lingyi, she had passed through the most difficult period. She had always been grateful, but never would she have thought that she would become the mother of a thief and become the partner of a wolf, and that Madam Li and An Lingyi were the real culprits behind her mother's death!
"An Lingyi! You will die a horrible death! " It was unknown whether it was because of the light or because An Lingge had roared and was about to pounce towards An Lingyi, but in the end, she fell to the ground and used up all of her strength.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from outside the door.
It's Bi Zhu! Finally, An Lingge raised her eyelids and saw Bi Zhu coming in while carrying food. When she saw her lying on the ground, her expression changed greatly and with a cry, she was ambushed by two maids behind An Lingyi. There was a line of blood on her neck as she softly fell!
"Both of you, throw their bodies into the lake in the rear garden! Then I'll go to the accounting office and collect the money, and tell them that it was I who said that. "
An Lingyi frowned, and then spoke to the two maidservants who were dressing up just now, and then she walked out of the room.
An Lingge was completely speechless, blood was constantly flowing out of her mouth, she wanted to curse An Lingyi, but in the end she couldn't say anything, so she closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
The wind was warm and soft, and the half-open window was half empty. The copper beast beside it was burning with a refreshing fragrance.
A servant girl half knelt in front of the bed, but couldn't stop herself from crying. Woo woo … * "Please don't let anything happen to you …"
The sound of her small crying gave An Lingge a headache. Unable to endure any longer, she said irritably: "Bi Zhu, why are you crying when you are feeling so well? "It's all so noisy that I can't sleep …"
But just as An Lingge was about to speak, she stopped in shock.
What was going on? Xuan Windows, a work table, a zither by the side …
Didn't she die from An Lingyi's poison? Why was she in her room again?
She looked down at herself in disbelief. Surprisingly, there was a pair of magpies embroidered on the silk robe, causing An Lingge to be shocked, Wasn't this clothes her birthday, when she was seventeen, making it herself?!
In a split-second, An Lingge seemed to have thought of something. She flew towards the bedside of the bed and picked up the bronze mirror on the square table, moving it closer to her.
The woman's lips were red and her teeth were white. The corners of her eyes were filled with an innocent and romantic aura. Her oval face was soft and gentle, and she looked beautiful and gentle.
However, at this moment, her almond eyes flickered with a myriad of emotions.
"Bi Zhu, why were you crying just now?"
An Lingge asked coldly. If she guessed correctly, she should have "accidentally fallen into the water" yesterday, right?
