Knowing that the Madam Li wanted to take action against him, An Lingge became more vigilant, and even made the request to sit in the same carriage as An Lingyi.

"On what basis? Your carriage broke down and you want to squeeze in with me? "

An Lingyi looked up arrogantly, with a hint of schadenfreude, "An Lingge, you are really unlucky. After being sent to the temple by father, you actually met a horse that went crazy, ordinary people wouldn't have that kind of luck."

"Yeah, my luck is really bad." An Lingge laughed lightly, she was not moved at all, "I wonder who was so mischievous to actually have a few needles on the horse's hooves, if not, why would the horses go crazy for such a good reason?"

She looked at An Lingyi with a smile that was yet not a smile, "Little Sister Yi Er, if not, I would have sent someone to report this to father and have him investigate this matter thoroughly and see what kind of thing has fallen into his heart. He actually dares to mess with Prince An's Palace's carriage. I'm the one who was hurt today, and I don't know who was hurt tomorrow. It could have been you, it could have been my aunt, it could have been my father. "Tell me, if Father were to find such a dangerous person like her, what should he do?"

Aunt?

Listening to An Lingge biting down on her words, An Lingyi seemed to have thought of something, the words that Madam Li had whispered to her seemed to confirm what was happening right now.

Her expression kept changing, but she was afraid that An Lingge would expose this matter. In the end, she said with a dark face, "Wasn't it just the carriage that had an accident? I think that you just don't want to go to the Qing Yun Temple and return back to the Duke Palaces in a different way. "

"Without a carriage, how could I even get to the Qing Yun Temple? We can only return to the estate and report to father. " An Lingge then turned and left.

"Wait." An Lingyi pursed her lips, she was extremely unwilling, "Isn't it just riding in the same carriage as me? I'll be kind and take you along. "

The corner of An Lingge's mouth curled up slightly, and his beautiful face that was like a peach revealed a little more brilliance, causing the black color on An Lingyi's face to become even heavier.

The two of them could be considered to have broken off all relations, and on the way, they naturally did not have any kind of passionate conversation or the joy of being sisters. After silently arriving at the Qing Yun Temple, An Lingyi immediately took her own servant girl to the side rooms.

"Damned bitch, you dare to threaten me!"

An Lingyi casually threw a teacup down, her cute face was filled with hostility.

"Please calm your anger, Miss." The maidservant at the side hurried over to comfort her, "Eldest Young Miss has always been an idiot. After falling into the water, it was as if she was a completely different person. She even made Madam suffer in her hands."

She changed the cup into a new one and poured some tea for An Lingyi, while observing her master's expression, "Today, when the horse went mad, this servant just so happened to see the young miss climb onto the horse, and kill it with the hairpin in her hand. That kind of bloodlust and viciousness, might not even be comparable to that of a man."

"What are you trying to say?" An Lingyi was confused when she heard it, and impatiently glanced at the servant girl.

"What this servant means is that the young miss has a cowardly character. Everyone knows that. If she were to suddenly do these abnormal things, there must be someone behind her." The servant girl laughed, and then revealed a hidden look at An Lingyi, "As long as we can find out who the mastermind is, and get rid of him, wouldn't the young miss still be at your mercy?"

An Lingyi's gloomy face gradually eased, and in the end, even raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a malicious smile, "Tell me, how do you think I should find out who the mastermind is?"

The servant girl leaned over An Lingyi and muttered to herself for a while, the latter's eyes flashed with a malicious light, and finally ordered, "I will leave this matter to you, be more secretive. After everything is done, I will choose you as my concubine, and bring you to Prince Mu’s Palace together with me."

The maidservant was overjoyed, "I will definitely not disappoint you."

She turned around and left the room, following the mountain path all the way down until her figure gradually disappeared.

On the other side, Bi Zhu opened the bag she was carrying and took out the things inside. She then looked at An Lingge and said angrily, "Miss, the horses went crazy today, for no reason, and almost caused the Miss to lose her life. Shouldn't you tell this matter to the Prince, and let the Duke seek justice for you?"

An Lingge put down the book in her hand, her expression indifferent, "Did you forget? Why was I sent here to the Qing Yun Temple? "

"Smallpox." When the two words came out of her mouth, Bi Zhu finally understood. "Could it be that in the eyes of the Duke, the Young Miss is destined to die soon, so she won't investigate everything thoroughly for this matter?"

"No, he will." An Lingge shook her head, "The carriage in the mansion has been tampered with, but it is related to Father's own life. If he knew about this, he would have thoroughly investigated it."

"Then what?"

"However, this matter cannot be said by us," An Lingge taught Bi Zhu a little, "I am a person with smallpox, and I do not know how long I can live. For ordinary people, this kind of thing is a huge matter, but for me, it's nothing more than a small matter.

Bi Zhu nodded her head as if she understood something, but she was still unhappy, "That scoundrel obviously wanted the life of the young miss, is he going to let him go just like that?"

Looking at her angry expression, An Lingge could not help but laugh, "Don't forget about that coachman."

The groom?

Bi Zhu thought of the coachman who broke his leg. She heard from the doctor that she would need to recuperate for two to three months before she could finally walk around.

She rolled her round eyes, and clapped her hands together in excitement. "That coachman will definitely report this matter to the Prince. The person who framed the Miss will definitely be severely punished by the Prince."

The person who framed her?

The image of Madam Li's furious and twisted face appeared in An Lingge's mind as a self-deprecating smile flashed across her lips.

Even if his father found out who the mastermind was, he wouldn't truly kill the Madam Li. As long as the Imperial Noble Consort Li didn't fall, his father wouldn't be able to truly punish the Madam Li.

But that's fine too, as long as she continued to play like this, little by little, it would consume the affection her father had for the Madam Li. One day, her father would unhesitantly give up on the latter.

She put down the books in her hands and said to Bi Zhu, "Forget it, it's getting late, keep these books."

Bi Zhu replied. She tidied up An Lingge's room and picked up a candle to go out and bring the dinner over, but suddenly let out a scream.

"Little... Miss, Snake, Snake... There's a snake! "

Her face was pale as she stepped back into the room, her trembling lips revealing her fear.

When An Lingge heard this, she looked outside, only to see that at the side room's door, dozens of different colored snakes had crawled in. Under the light of the candlelight, they looked extremely terrifying and sinister.

How could there be a snake here?

With no time to think, An Lingge pulled Bi Zhu's hand and ran towards the window.
