However, the Emperor had already put up his guard against him just because he was in control of a heavy soldier. If the Emperor really allowed the Prince Mu’s Palace to be removed, then that would be a disaster for the Great Zhou!
"What happened after that? Did something happen to the big miss of Prince An's Palace?"
The empress dowager asked anxiously, she felt that the emperor had attacked them from the Miss An's side because he wanted to deal with the Prince Mu’s Palace.
If something were to happen to the Miss An, how could she feel at ease?
The corner of Mu Junhan's mouth hooked into a smile, "Aunt, don't worry, this Miss An is extremely intelligent, furthermore, he was unable to stand up straight in this matter. Her words caused Seventh Prince to be defeated, and only then did Seventh Prince mention this matter in the imperial court, in hopes of using the emperor's power to punish her, but in the end, my father and Duke An blocked his."
"This Dowager is asking you a question. If you arrived at the Mo Bei, what would happen to the Miss An? You didn't tell This Dowager.
"Aunt, with Junhan's intelligence, he must have guessed what I mean."
Mu Junhan's expression turned serious, "Miss An was implicated because of me this time, but this time, she was lucky enough to escape, but who can guarantee that she will be so lucky the next time around? I thought about it, why not just cancel this marriage, so that Seventh Prince wouldn't take action against a lady in order to curry favor with the emperor? "
He was restricted everywhere in the capital, and there were still a few people secretly trying to assassinate him. It would be better to pretend to cancel the marriage and let the emperor relax his guard.
In this way, the Prince An's Palace would not be pushed out to be at the heart of the struggle, allowing people to keep a low profile and hibernate. After that, he would slowly develop his own strength until even the Emperor was unable to move his Prince Mu’s Palace.
This was also something that An Lingge decided upon after discussing it with him. However, if this matter were to be exposed to the outside world, he would have to come up with other excuses, so even if it was in front of the empress dowager, he would not completely reveal the truth.
The empress dowager was unhappy in her heart. An Lingge was someone she had chosen again and again, the person who she had chosen the most out of all the noble ladies in the capital. If just because of the Emperor's suspicions, she could make Junhan miss out with this marriage, wouldn't that be too much of a pity?
"If you want to go to the Mo Bei, This Dowager won't stop you, but that Miss An's looks and morals are extremely good …"
"Aunt, no matter how beautiful and outstanding Miss An is, she will never be able to dodge open fire or sneak attack. If she is killed by someone, can Aunt feel at ease?"
Of course not.
The Empress Dowager could not pass the test of her heart, and her brow was filled with melancholy.
Could it be that because of the emperor, Junhan will not marry anyone? Or perhaps according to the emperor's intentions, for Junhan to marry a commoner who had no power, no influence, or no background, allow the entire capital to laugh at him, and then watch as his Prince Mu’s Palace weakened bit by bit?
"Outsiders only know that you enjoy limitless glory, but who would have thought that you would be in a dilemma." As the Empress Dowager thought of this, her heart ached even more.
Compared to her own granddaughter, she liked Mu Junhan more. He was clever and did not fight for it, but this kind of person who should be free and easy to deal with, was bound by a few rules and regulations, even if she wanted to do something she had to think about it, she did not want to implicate the entire Duke Palace.
Although the empress dowager was his aunt, he had spent a lot of effort for him just like his own grandmother. Unfortunately, the capital was not stable right now, the emperor and other princes were at loggerheads, and the crown prince and Seventh Prince had formed a gang, there were things that he had to hide from the empress dowager.
"Aunt, don't worry. When Junhan finds the girl he likes, he will definitely bring her to you."
He softly comforted the Empress Dowager, who smiled and nodded. She covered the tears in her eyes. As for the Miss An, if you are afraid of implicating her, then let the marriage be annulled. But the Emperor … "
"When the Emperor decided to send me to the Mo Bei, he had already said that he would cancel this marriage. When we left the palace later, I would send someone to explain this to the Prince An and tell him not to mind."
This matter was something that Mu Junhan and Mu Junhan had discussed beforehand, so there was naturally no problem with An Lingge.
As long as he received the imperial edict, Prince An would naturally not oppose it.
The empress dowager then nodded her head, and ordered the palace to send over a few fresh melon fruits along with a few exquisite pastries. After seeing that Mu Junhan had eaten them, she got someone to send him out.
The emperor's orders were passed down very quickly, as if he was worried that Mu Junhan would go back on his word. Before he even walked out of the palace, he had already written two orders, one to send out the Prince Mu’s Palace and one to send out the Prince An's Palace.
In front of the Prince An's Palace gate, An Yingcheng knelt on the ground with his men, listening to the eunuch in front of him recite the contents of the imperial edict.
After the eunuch finished speaking, An Yingcheng was still in a daze.
Why did the marriage of Prince Mu’s Palace and itself be cancelled all of a sudden?
He had originally thought that he had a relationship with Prince Mu’s Palace and was secretly happy for a long time.
"Prince An, accept the decree."
The imperial eunuch was chubby with a pleasant smile on his face, but there was a hint of contempt in his eyes.
An Yingcheng stood up from the ground and took the imperial edict from the eunuch. The butler by his side immediately stepped forward and stuffed a few large silver notes into the eunuch's hands.
"This eunuch, may I ask why the emperor suddenly issued such an imperial decree?" Back then, the emperor personally bestowed the marriage on this marriage, and now … "
An Yingcheng didn't say the rest of his words out loud. He didn't dare say that the Emperor had gone back on his words in front of everyone.
But how could the eunuch not understand what he was saying. He touched the silver bills in his hand, and the smile on his face became more sincere. "Prince An, how could my family's servants know what the emperor is thinking?" However, our family actually saw Hereditary Prince Mu going to the imperial study to find the Emperor, after that, the Emperor ordered us to come and pass down the order. "
In other words, the fact that the Emperor changed his mind was related to Mu Junhan.
After An Yingcheng heard this, his gaze landed on An Lingge who was beside her, wanting to find something from her body.
But on An Lingge's face, there was only shock and disappointment, with a hint of shame and indignation, she could not see anything else.
Looks like Little Ge was also unaware of this matter.
An Yingcheng sighed in the bottom of his heart, but his face did not reveal it.
The eunuch then smiled, "Since there is nothing else in Prince An, we shall return to the palace to pass down the decree."
"Go send off the eunuch." An Yingcheng instructed the steward by his side before bringing everyone from the Duke Palace back to the mansion.
The moment he entered the Duke Palace, An Yingcheng's expression immediately darkened.
However, Aunt Li kept looking in An Lingge's direction, unable to suppress the smile on her face.
