An Lingge didn't know how she managed to return to the Prince An's Palace. Only after she sat in her room and was called several times by Bi Zhu, did she finally regain her senses.
"Miss, what were you thinking about just now? This servant called you a few times, but you didn't hear me."
Bi Zhu curiously came over, seeing the book in An Lingge's hands, she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, "This servant was still curious about young miss's book, and it hasn't been finished for a long time.
Her teasing eyes carried a bit of interest, and she timidly lowered her voice, "Miss, are you thinking about Hereditary Prince Mu?"
"What nonsense is this?" An Lingge glared at her, but somehow felt guilty.
Bi Zhu would not be scared by her like that, she continued laughing, and continued saying, "This servant saw Hereditary Prince Mu bringing the young miss back, the Imperial Noble Consort Li clearly found the young miss and entered the palace, why would the young miss come back with Hereditary Prince Mu?"
An Lingge straightened her expression, "I just happened to meet him in the palace."
She told Bi Zhu about what happened in the palace. When Bi Zhu heard that An Lingge had been framed by the Imperial Noble Consort Li and had even received a slap from the Imperial Consort Yi, fire almost spouted out of her eyes.
"They are really bullying us!" Bi Zhu looked carefully at An Lingge's face, "It is obvious that Imperial Noble Consort Li framed Miss for the sake of Second Aunt. She is making things difficult for Miss, at least she has a reason. As for the Imperial Consort Yi, not only did you allow the Ninth Prince to humiliate you, you even allowed the nanny beside you to hit you. Such an arrogant and despotic person, why didn't the Emperor send her into the cold palace? "
Bi Zhu was indignant, but her heart was also not at peace.
Thinking about the humiliation An Lingjun had suffered in the palace, she wanted to bring him out of the palace, put him by her side, and protect him well.
"Wanting to force an concubine that has a prince into a cold palace is not a simple matter."
How many family interests were involved and how many forces were reshuffling was not something the emperor could decide on just because he was pampered or not.
No matter how much the Emperor pampered the Imperial Noble Consort Li, he would still give the position of empress to the ladies of the mother race, in order to rope in the powers behind those women.
Bi Zhu naturally did not understand these things, but she nodded in disappointment, "Alright, but the miss's face …"
The medicine that Mu Junhan had given him was indeed very good, the sinister and terrifying red scar had already dimmed quite a bit. Although it was still very obvious, it didn't look any more terrifying.
An Lingge took out the ointment that Mu Junhan had given him, and instructed Bi Zhu, "Put this away, and apply it again tomorrow, it should be fine."
Bi Zhu had seen An Lingge pour out the medicinal ingredients before, so when she saw the ointment, she thought that it was made by An Lingge herself.
She nodded her head before clapping her hands together, "This servant almost forgot about proper business."
Previously, she had paid attention to the matters between An Lingge and Mu Xuanyin, but later on, she became angry at the actions of Imperial Noble Consort Li and Mu Xuanyin and nearly forgot her reason for calling An Lingge.
An Lingge turned her head, and heard Bi Zhu's words, "The Prince has sent news over, that the Old Madame and those people from the second and third branch are coming to the capital, they have already travelled for a few days, and will arrive tomorrow."
Grandmother, are they coming to the capital?
An Lingge tried hard to recall her memories from her previous life. Back then, her grandmother had also brought people from the Second Branch and Third Branch to the capital. She could faintly hear the Madam Li mentioning that the men from the Second Branch and Third Branch wanted to take the Imperial Examinations.
About this time.
An Lingge lowered her eyes as she thought about it, and gave a bland grunt of acknowledgement.
"Since Grandmother, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle are coming, I naturally have to prepare some gifts."
She got Bi Zhu to take out some silver and told the gatekeeper that she should take it out before bringing Bi Zhu out of the palace.
An Lingge first went to the most famous gold shop in the capital, where the shopkeeper saw that An Lingge was dressed extravagantly and had an extraordinary imposing manner, and immediately knew that she was a daughter of a famous sect.
Hearing An Lingge's request, the shopkeeper's face raised up with a smile, and his face was about to blossom into a flower, "Look at this golden sculpture, the Hundred Phoenix Rings, it's the favorite design of all the women in the capital."
"Also, this goat fat white jade is the most suitable for the family's elders to use as a gift."
"Flying Butterfly in Flower Steps over there is the girl's favorite …"
An Lingge quietly listened to the shopkeeper's boasts and indicated for Bi Zhu to buy the jewelry.
After calculating a gift for each of them, she went to the study room to buy some Four Treasures in the study room. Finally, she brought Bi Zhu and turned into a remote alley.
Thump thump thump thump thump. An Lingge stood outside the door.
Soon, footsteps could be heard from inside the door, followed by the intentionally thickened voice of a woman. "Who is it?"
"It's me."
Just as An Lingge finished speaking, the tightly shut door creaked open.
"Miss, please come in."
Bai Yu carefully looked around, welcomed the two of them in, then quickly poured tea for An Lingge before respectfully standing at the side.
An Lingge took out a piece of paper from her bosom. "Jingyu has given you a new identity, and from then on, you have nothing to do with the white jade from Prince An's Palace.
Bai Yu, no, the astonishment in Chu Yu's eyes was not concealed, his gaze landed on the thin piece of paper, his lips moved for a good while, but he was unable to say anything.
Originally, she plotted against An Lingyi in order to take revenge. Originally, she was going to be executed in secret, but Eldest Miss allowed her to be saved and not speak of it. Now, she was given an open and honorable identity, and not a servant with Prince An's Palace that escaped.
So benevolent...
Chu Yu's eyes gradually became teary, and with a bang, she knelt on the ground. Her tone was firm like never before, "Young miss has treated this servant with utmost kindness, this servant is willing to repay young miss with my life!"
"I don't need your life." An Lingge laughed and helped Chu Yu up, "But I need you to do something for me."
She spoke of her plans in a low voice as Bi Zhu took out a few pieces of silver notes.
"It's not convenient for Bi Zhu and I to leave the house, just find a restaurant nearby and buy it. Whether or not you can earn money is not important, the most important thing is to pass on the message to me, the message from the officials in the capital, the message from the nobles, regardless of size, you have to pass it on to me in time."
If she wanted to overthrow Madam Li, if she wanted to take revenge for herself, she needed to have sufficient strength.
And having one's own source of information was of utmost importance.
Chu Yu bit her lips, preventing herself from crying out, "Rest assured Young Miss, this servant will not disappoint Young Miss."
An Lingge nodded, then looked at Bi Zhu, who immediately took out a bottle of ointment.
"This is an ointment that I have nothing to do in my free time. If you apply it on your face for ten days in a row, it will gradually change your appearance. You will only look sixty to seventy percent similar to before."
An Lingge passed the ointment into Chu Yu's hands, then clenched the porcelain bottle tightly. She only felt that the figure that was gradually leaving was as revering as a goddess.
