An Lingge laughed. Her bright and dazzling face was blossoming like a myriad of spring flowers and plums in an instant, causing a vague figure to appear in front of An Yingcheng. That person was also standing in the midst of the flowers, smiling at him.
An Yingcheng came back to reality as he sighed in his heart, Little Ge really looked like her mother.
"Father, this was all told to me by Hereditary Prince Mu." The corner of An Lingge's mouth curved, a smile could be seen in the depths of her eyes, and she returned to being a dignified yet energetic young lady, "Hereditary Prince Mu once walked around the Imperial Palace, probably because she had some understanding of the emperor's personality."
Mu Junhan was the emperor's nephew, and was also favored by the empress dowager. It was very normal for him to know about these matters.
An Yingcheng was just about to nod his head, but he sensed that something was wrong, "Why would Hereditary Prince Mu tell you about this?"
Who would tell a girl about the imperial court?
Moreover, Mu Junhan and An Lingge were only engaged to an unmarried couple, and in the end, the marriage was annulled. So why would Mu Junhan say all these to her?
"used Mu Junhan as a shield and said," That time when our daughter and Hereditary Prince Mu had an argument, Hereditary Prince Mu anxiously said that the Emperor was suspicious of the other princes and our daughter's future would not be good. I saw that he was serious, so I wrote it down. "
In the eyes of those who were unaware, the reason why she and Mu Junhan's marriage was cancelled was because the two of them were incompatible.
But now that she said that, An Yingcheng did not doubt her.
The Prince Mu’s Palace is related to the Emperor by marriage, and since he has grasped several hundred thousand soldiers, the Emperor will not act against them for a short period of time.
But their Prince An's Palace were different. After all these years of decline, if the Emperor found an excuse to uproot them, it wouldn't take him much effort. He would have to gain the Emperor's trust.
The corner of An Yingcheng's mouth stretched straight as he nodded gravely, "I will report this to the Emperor as soon as possible. You can go back first."
He wasn't worried that An Lingge would be infected by the plague. After all, An Lingge had saved Madam Wang and the child in her womb, so the medical technique was sufficient enough for her to protect herself.
An Lingge walked out meekly, and only after walking out of the courtyard did she heave a long sigh of relief.
As long as An Yingcheng was willing to report this matter to the Emperor, it would be fine. This way, the citizens would be on guard, and with them having to watch out for food and water, there probably wouldn't be a large area of deaths.
An Yingcheng then changed into his official's uniform and ordered the people to prepare the carriage before he rushed back to the palace in a hurry.
He was in a hurry, and the servants did not dare to dawdle. The coachman brandished his whip, and within half an hour, the carriage had stopped in front of the Imperial Palace.
"Prince An."
The guards recognized An Yingcheng and the leader bowed to him.
An Yingcheng waved his hand, "General Zhao does not need to be so courteous, I have urgent matters to discuss with the Emperor today.
He was about to walk into the palace when General Zhao stopped him with a troubled expression. "Prince An, this is not the time for the court to be in session. You don't have the orders of the emperor, so this official cannot allow you in."
An Yingcheng suddenly realized, he was so anxious that he had almost forgotten about the palace ban. He then took out an order badge and waved it in front of General Zhao, "Can I go in now?"
"Prince An, please." When General Zhao saw the words on the order badge, his expression immediately became respectful. He moved to the side and opened up a path for An Yingcheng.
Since he gave way, the other imperial guards naturally would not stop him. An Yingcheng then walked into the palace with big strides.
"Aiyo, it's Prince An." Before An Yingcheng could approach the Qian Qing Hall, he met the eunuch beside the emperor, Fu Quan.
With a beaming smile on his fat face and a horsetail whisk in hand, only his eyes carried a little shrewdness. "May I ask what Prince An wants to enter the palace for?"
An Yingcheng also smiled, and did not dare to offend the people around the emperor, "This king has an important matter to discuss with the emperor, I hope that eunuch can help me inform him."
"We will be going right now. Prince An, please wait here for a moment." Fu Quan acknowledged the order and turned around to walk towards the palace.
An Yingcheng originally wanted to follow along, but then he thought of his blessings and decided to stay in place.
Fortunately, the emperor was free now, so he quickly had someone bring An Yingcheng to the Qian Qing Hall.
"What important matters do you have with your beloved one to meet with me? He even took out the command medallion that the Old Marquis left behind. " The emperor laughed and teased, as if he was extremely close to An Yingcheng.
An Yingcheng's mouth formed a bitter smile. If he did not take out the plate the Old Marquis left for him, he would not be able to even enter the palace today.
This way, he would naturally not say it in front of the emperor. An Yingcheng then answered vaguely, "Your majesty, this humble subject noticed that someone in the capital is infected with the plague, thus I rushed over immediately."
Plague?
The emperor's smiling face suddenly sunk. He stared at An Yingcheng, and his voice did not sound emotional at all. "My beloved, this is not a joke."
"How dare this humble subject joke about this matter?" An Yingcheng's eyes were filled with anxiety, "A servant girl beside my daughter suddenly died without reason, the doctors at home had already gone to see, they said that she had contracted a plague, and would then …"
The gaze of the emperor became sharper, without that easy-going look from before. He exuded the aura of the Ninth Five Supremes, which made people not dare to look him in the eye, "Just a servant girl died, and you ran over here in a hurry to tell us that there was a plague in the capital. King An, when did you learn to make a fuss about nothing?"
However, he had already decided to use this matter as a weight to show his loyalty to the Emperor, and now, he braced himself and spoke out.
"It is not that this humble servant was overdoing it, but that the plague broke out too quickly. This humble servant is afraid that I would be unable to report in time and cause a disaster." You have to understand that the thousand mile dam was destroyed by an ant's nest, and only one maid is infected with the plague. If you do not take precautions, the plague will quickly erupt, and at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable! "
"According to what you said, should we send people to capture everyone in Prince An's Palace so that they do not harm the citizens of the capital?" The Emperor sneered, without a hint of the kind attitude he had earlier. "If that's the case, I will pass down an order right now so that you won't be worried that the plague will spread and harm the people."
The Emperor roared angrily, and his voice carried a thick sense of rage. As he stood up, he seemed as if he was about to issue a decree.
An Yingcheng ran over to him and said that there would be a plague in the capital. Didn't that mean that he was heartless and ungrateful, and that he would bring about disaster?
Prince An's life was indeed too peaceful!
