The empress's gaze landed on the hand that Madam Li had hidden slightly, and ordered the nanny beside her, "Nanny Zhang, go and look at the hands of the both of them."

She was impartial and allowed the nanny to inspect two people.

An Lingge calmly reached out her hand, allowing Nanny Zhang to examine her palm.

Madam Li was a little flustered. She looked at Imperial Noble Consort Li for help, but only received a comforting gaze from him.

Seeing that Nanny Zhang had finished inspecting An Lingge and was walking towards her, Madam Li could only clench her teeth and extend her hand.

Nanny Zhang inspected it very carefully, her aged eyes revealing a sharp glint.

Her gaze swept across the Madam Li's hands inch by inch and suddenly stopped.

Madam Li's heart thumped loudly. Her gaze followed Nanny Zhang's line of sight and landed on the tip of the tiger's mouth that was faintly purple.

"In reply to Empress, Miss An's palm is clean and tidy. On the contrary, there is a small purple patch on the palm of Madam Li's hand."

It was really a very small purple dot. If An Lingge had not mentioned it, Madam Li would not have noticed it at all.

The empress's gaze turned sharp in an instant. "Madam Li, now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"

Madam Li was so frightened by the awe-inspiring aura that she took a step back. Her lips trembled, but she did not say anything.

The Imperial Noble Consort Li at the side hurriedly tried to explain, "Queen, please calm your anger. Elder sister has purple marks on her palm, it might have been from helping chenqie choose her clothes."

At this time, she no longer cared about feigning weakness. Her words were smooth and smooth, "This small jacket was worn by big sister when she arrived here. It was probably due to her appearance."

An Lingge laughed meaningfully, "The Imperial Noble Consort Li's palace is warm and cozy, it's not a place filled with water vapor."

The meaning behind his words was that only at the Brightheart Lake would the purple colored clothes fall, and traces of it would appear on Madam Li's hands.

The empress was enraged. "Damn you, Madam Li, to think that you would try to protect her so hard, yet you want to plot against her and even want to use that to frame Miss An. It's such a good plan to kill your own sister to frame your first wife! "

The Queen glared at him furiously. Madam Li opened her mouth as she quickly thought of a plan to deal with the situation.

"Please calm your anger, esteemed empress." She fell to her knees, her body trembling. "This subject's wife accidentally pushed my sister into the water. She was terrified and pushed the blame onto Eldest Miss. She didn't mean to frame Eldest Miss, so I beg for your forgiveness, esteemed empress!"

No matter what, he couldn't drag his sister in.

Madam Li thought, her expression becoming more sincere.

As a woman who wielded great power in the Prince An's Palace, she knelt in front of the empress, forcing the empress to bypass her in the face of Prince An's Palace.

How could the empress not understand? She pursed her lips and smiled indifferently, "This is a matter between you and the Imperial Noble Consort Li sisters. Why don't I hand you over to the Imperial Noble Consort Li to deal with and see if she lets you off?"

When Madam Li heard this, he was overjoyed, but Imperial Noble Consort Li's expression immediately became unsightly.

It would be wrong to hand her sister over to him for punishment no matter what.

If she punishes the Madam Li, the Madam Li will definitely go against her; if she doesn't, what kind of prestige will she have in the palace?

The Queen looked at Imperial Noble Consort Li's ugly expression and pursed her lips in a good mood, "As for Miss An, you frightened me today, so I'll give you this ruyi bracelet as a token of my goodwill."

She took off the warm jade bracelet on her wrist and handed it over to An Lingge.

An Lingge was about to reject, but the empress beat him to it, "You suffered such injustice in the harem, but I can only let you prove your innocence. This is my compensation, Miss An, please do not decline. "

An Lingge could only accept it.

When the empress saw how tactful she was, the satisfaction and admiration in her eyes deepened.

"It's getting late, Nanny Zhang. If Miss An is scared, send her out of the palace."

Only after the Nanny Zhang agreed to it did An Lingge follow him out of the palace.

"Crawl over, crawl over. As long as you crawl over, this prince won't cause you any trouble."

From afar, the tender voice of a boy could be heard. An Lingge suddenly frowned.

"Nanny Zhang, what's going on over there?"

An Lingge stopped and looked at the palace on the other side.

Nanny Zhang looked back, her posture respectful. "Reporting to Miss An, that place should be Imperial Consort Yi's palace just now. It should be Ninth Prince playing around."

Ninth Prince.

An Lingge chewed these three words, didn't Junge read along with him?

That chubby white man always waved his small hands and called his sister. Ever since he was eight years old and the Emperor brought him into the palace, she had never seen him again.

An Lingge stopped in her tracks, "Nanny Zhang, I still have something to take care of. You can go back to the Empress first."

As she spoke, she walked towards the palace, and from afar, she saw two figures outside.

An Lingge could not help but quicken her pace and saw a boy dressed in rich clothes. He did not seem to be more than seven or eight years old, but his raised little face was filled with arrogance.

He pointed at his crotch, full of malice. "As long as you crawl through here, this prince will not make things difficult for you today."

An Lingjun was only ten years old this year, but her face no longer showed innocence and immaturity.

He clenched his fists and stubbornly raised his head, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Ninth Prince was furious, "You lowly servant, you dare to disobey this prince!"

He kicked An Lingjun, causing the latter to retreat a step, "I am not a lowly servant, I am a Hereditary Prince of Prince An's Palace!"

"Tch, my mother said that you are one of the protons of the Prince An's Palace, if Royal Father is unhappy, I can kill you at any time."

The Ninth Prince raised his leg again and said with indignation, "Damned lackey, you dare to yell at this prince."

"Stop!"

An Lingge ran over, and his black eyes glowered at Ninth Prince, "A dignified prince, is she actually raised in such a way? "Why don't I go speak with the empress and deliver you to her for her tutelage?"

Send him to the empress?

The Ninth Prince trembled and suddenly felt a little guilty, but he still said, "Who are you to dare interfere in this prince's matters?"

"An Lingge."

When she spoke out her name, An Lingjun's eyes lit up.

Big sister, big sister came to find me.

An Lingjun's eyes turned crystal clear, and she quickly wiped it off with the back of her hand.

Ninth Prince immediately reacted, "You are this lowly slave's elder sister?"

Slave.

The black color in An Lingge's eyes became thicker, like a huge wave from the ocean, about to bury a person deep into the invisible sea.

Ninth Prince was frightened by this gaze and stammered, "You …" What are you doing? "

"Slave?" An Lingge laughed in extreme anger. "Ninth Prince has a respected identity, to actually call a Hereditary Prince of Prince An's Palace a lowly slave, I'm afraid even the Emperor would not dare to do so. I wonder what Ninth Prince is planning?"
