"Miss An's words are really funny!" Zhao Lanyu scoffed, his gaze filled with disdain, "You are the dignified direct descendant of Prince An's Palace, how could you want to learn medicine, aren't you dreaming?"

An Lingge looked back, her gaze landing on his body. Only then did she calmly and unhurriedly greet him, "This subject greets Seventh Prince, what do you mean by that, Seventh Prince?"

"This prince's intention is very simple. As the direct daughter of the Prince An's Palace, you actually accumulated so many medicinal ingredients during the battle between the Qingyue Kingdom and the Great Zhou. It's clear that you have ill intentions."

When Zhao Lanyu opened his mouth to accuse her of abnormal conduct, he knew that he must be harboring evil intentions.

However, An Lingge just laughed casually, her face carrying a hint of ridicule, "Seventh Prince's words are really funny, these medicinal herbs can be bought by ordinary people, as the direct daughter of the Prince An's Palace, can't I buy them? According to Seventh Prince's intentions, ordinary people should eat three meals a day. Seventh Prince cannot eat, otherwise, it would be perverted and harbouring evil intentions. "

"How dare you!" Zhao Lanyu roared in anger, and showed his dignity as a prince, "Do you know what kind of crime it is to slander a prince?"

"This subject does not know." An Lingge was neither humble nor arrogant, she did not seem to be frightened by him, "This subject only took the Seventh Prince's logic to reverse the situation, how could she slander the prince? Do you also think that your words just now slandered this humble servant's daughter? "

"Heh, no matter how sharp your words are, it won't change the fact that you're hoarding medicinal herbs!" Zhao Lanyu's smile was not on the outside, but his eyes were full of respect.

An Lingge still smiled gently, her expression open, without a trace of panic. "The reason why this subject is hoarding the medicinal herbs is to learn pharmacology, could it be that I have violated the laws of the country?"

"Do you think you can fool this prince with such a ridiculous excuse?" Zhao Lanyu was not moved, and found the flaw in An Lingge's words, "Even if you want to learn medicine, you can ask a doctor to teach you, why do you need to stock up on medicinal ingredients? This prince sees that you are plotting against me, wanting to send the medicinal ingredients to the Qingyue Kingdom, wanting to betray my country! "

"Seventh Prince's words are really serious." The ridicule from the corner of An Lingge's mouth became even stronger, "It was just a few casual words, yet you want to pin the crime of colluding with the enemy and betraying the nation on me.

"Little Ge, don't speak nonsense!" When An Yingcheng heard him mention the Emperor, there was no reverence in his words, but instead some ridicule, and immediately spoke up to stop her.

If the emperor were to hear this, he would really blame them!

He was terrified in his heart, but An Lingge smiled at him as if she was comforting him, "Father, don't worry. It's a pity that the emperor painstakingly taught the Seventh Prince all this, but he actually didn't let the Seventh Prince learn even the slightest bit of his righteousness and wisdom, and instead developed such a despotic personality. "

"So what if this prince is arrogant and despotic? If you don't clearly explain the motive for hoarding these medicinal ingredients, then this prince can suspect that you are colluding with Qingyue Kingdom, and more importantly, will be able to punish you for treason! "

Zhao Lanyu was impatient to have a verbal confrontation with An Lingge, so he directly stated his attitude.

He was here to deal with An Lingge, unless An Lingge had a clear conscience and could speak the truth.

If someone could not refute such a rogue, it was all because of his identity.

An Lingge was disdainful from the bottom of her heart. Her pair of black eyes was filled with anger, which made people even more afraid, "As the old saying goes, catch the thief and take the dirty one out. If Seventh Prince wants to convict me, then I need to give him evidence.

"The large amount of medicinal herbs found is the best evidence!" Zhao Lanyu held on to the medicine tightly, insisting on giving her the title of traitorous enemy.

How could An Lingge allow him to slander her? The two of them were in a deadlock for a moment.

Zhao Lanyu was a little impatient, he did not expect this person to be so talkative, no matter how he said it, the other party would be able to refute him.

However, An Lingge was the direct descendant of Prince An's Palace and was not an ordinary civilian. If he wanted to capture her, she would have to see An Yingcheng's intentions.

"Prince An, tell me, is it this king who has reasons for this, or is your house's eldest miss doing the right thing?" Zhao Lanyu tossed the question to An Yingcheng, and a cold smile surfaced in his heart.

If An Yingcheng said that he took responsibility for this matter, he could follow An Yingcheng's orders and capture An Lingge. With the word 'filial piety', this world is larger than the heavens, so no matter how sharp An Lingge's words were, he would not dare refute her father.

If An Yingcheng said that what he did was wrong, he would cover up and question An Yingcheng. With An Yingcheng's timid and cautious nature, he would definitely not allow such a thing to happen, and at that time, he would definitely send someone to hand An Lingge over.

An Yingcheng was in a dilemma, and for a moment, he didn't know how to reply to that.

His expression was solemn as he considered his words, "Seventh Prince, this old official thinks that my daughter's hoarding of medicinal ingredients was just a spur of the moment, but that she was framed by others, which led you to think that she was hoarding the materials for Qingyue Kingdom."

"Oh, so you're saying that Prince An believes in your daughter and not this prince?" Zhao Lanyu pressed on tighter and closer, making it impossible for him to vent the anger in his heart.

The Seventh Prince clearly had no proof, but because An Lingge's courtyard had a large amount of medicinal ingredients, he was going to pin An Lingge as an enemy and sell the country. It was truly too absurd and laughable.

What was wrong with him standing beside An Lingge at this time? It made him feel like he was shielding a criminal.

"Seventh Prince, Little Ge is this old subject's daughter, what conduct does she have? This old subject naturally knows a little, that's why this old subject believes that Little Ge would never betray the nation."

"Furthermore, just like what we said just now, Little Ge is a woman in a woman's womb, how can she be related to someone from the Qingyue Kingdom? If she were to contact someone with Qingyue Kingdom at all, how can she talk about scheming against her enemies to sell out their country? "

Zhao Lanyu remained unmoved, "Since Prince An said so, you still won't believe this prince's words. Since that's the case, there's nothing left to say. When this prince returns and reports to Royal Father, let Royal Father decide this matter, Prince An, think carefully about how you should face Royal Father's questioning. "

Then he turned and walked away, looking really angry and ready to go and tell the Emperor about it.

"Seventh Prince, please wait."

The Emperor was suspicious of his nature, but was afraid that the other princes would be powerful. If the Seventh Prince were to report this matter to the Emperor, then the Emperor might not be the kind of person who would convict people without any evidence, but if the Emperor suspects Prince An's Palace because of this, it would not be a good thing.
