The news of An Yingcheng being brought into the palace quickly spread throughout the Palace.

The Aunt Li heard the whole story from somewhere, she brought An Lingyi to An Lingge's courtyard and taunted him, "Big Miss is really amazing, saving Mrs. Mingzhu's daughter yet getting angered by the Duke. Being so considerate to outsiders, you are really too selfless."

There was a mocking expression on her face as she said the word 'selfless' with extreme contempt.

An Lingyi's almond-shaped eyes contained a little malice, as she echoed the words of the Aunt Li, "What kind of rumors are you talking about? Did Big Sis think that the plague broke out just like that? This time, it's best for Daddy to return safely from the palace. Otherwise, I'll go and find Aunt to plead with the Emperor. I must tell the Emperor that Big Sis is the culprit, Daddy is innocent. "

She was actually a little worried for An Yingcheng. If An Yingcheng annoyed the emperor, then it would be a problem whether or not their Prince An's Palace could stay in the capital properly.

"Shut up!"

The old lady was supported over by the Aunt Wei as she walked over. She was still wearing the same clothes she had worn at the banquet, a deep purple colored embroidery with pink flowers scattered on the edge. She was wearing a green gold ponytail as she stared at An Lingyi with her old and sharp eyes, "The eldest is called into the palace by the emperor, he still hasn't said what it was about, but the two of you are criticizing Little Ge."

It was obvious that she wanted to support An Lingge in this matter. "The two of you still don't know the outcome, yet you two look as if the sky is going to fall on you, truly like you couldn't stand up for me. Just a little thing that happened and you were so scared that you flustered your limbs."

He ruthlessly poked Aunt Li and An Ling Yi with his words. An Ling Yi opened her mouth to retort, but Aunt Li held her hand and secretly pulled back, making An Ling Yi swallow back her words.

"The madame's lesson is right, and I've also lost my sense of propriety because I was worried about the prince." Aunt Li smiled gently, with a gentle and submissive look, how could she see the mighty and majestic manner she used to have in her previous life.

If not for the peculiar glint that flashed in her eyes, An Lingge would have thought that Aunt Li had changed her personality and learnt to be filial to the Old Madam.

Because of Aunt Li's obedience, the old lady's strict expression eased a bit. "Enough, rather than thinking about all these nonsense here, why don't you do what you can on your own, in case boss gets busy after returning."

Aunt Li and An Lingyi could only nod their heads as they left reluctantly.

Only then did the old lady sit down on a chair, "Little Ge, what exactly happened to the plague they were talking about?"

An Lingge then explained to the doctor how she found out that the maid's death was strange and how she asked her to diagnose him. Finally, she sipped her tea and said, "I thought that the plague broke out quickly and recommended that father should inform the Emperor about this matter so that the citizens could be on guard. Maybe there would not be a situation like what happened at the time of the late emperor."

"You did well. If there is a plague, you should do the same." The old mistress' expression was one of approval, but in the blink of an eye, she became extremely worried. "But Boss has already spoken to the emperor, yet the plague has yet to break out. I'm afraid the emperor will think that Boss is toying with him, so he's angry."

She did not wish for a plague to break out, nor did she wish for the capital to be annihilated. It was just that if An Yingcheng did not do it, it would be hard for him to be at peace this time.

"Judging from the expression of that eunuch today, the Emperor must have been dissatisfied with his father. He called him into the palace just to punish him." "If I could just enter the palace, I would be able to explain a bit to the emperor. But now, I can only stay in the palace and wait for news, hoping that father would be safe and sound."

The old mistress spun the buddhist beads in her hand and was about to say a few words of Bodhisattva blessings when she suddenly heard the woman outside the door shout, "The prince is back!"

An Lingge's eyes flashed with surprise, and immediately followed Aunt Wei to help the old lady out.

An Yingcheng, who had just returned to his residence, looked somewhat exhausted. There wasn't the slightest trace of his usual imposing aura, and he looked as if he had instantly aged ten years.

An Lingge felt that something was wrong, she watched as An Yingcheng dismissed the servants with a wave of his hand, causing Aunt Li to immediately walk over, "Master, the Emperor summoned you into the palace this time, didn't he make it difficult for you?"

She smiled solicitously, her delicate face full of concern.

An Yingcheng let out a long sigh, and spoke without hiding anything, "The Emperor has ordered for me to be removed from my post. If no plague breaks out within half a month, he will imprison me for bullying the monarch."

"How could this be?" An Lingyi cried out in alarm, "This is all big sister's fault! If it wasn't for her, father wouldn't have been implicated like this!"

She fumed, as if it was all for An Yingcheng's sake, as if she did not have any selfish motives, "Daddy, you should have told the truth to the emperor, why did you take on this crime?"

An Yingcheng stared at her, but his expression was not strict, "In the past, I have never cared about the conflicts between the two of you sisters, but now that this matter is related to the entire Prince An's Palace, as members of the Prince An's Palace, you will both suffer losses whether you live or die. If something goes wrong with Little Ge, will you be able to take care of it?"

The old lady nodded. "The boss is right. Now is the time to work together to overcome these difficulties. Don't have any more thoughts."

An Lingyi curled her lips and glared fiercely at An Lingge.

However, An Lingge didn't have the heart to bother with her at this time. She was trying hard to recall what happened in her previous life and when the plague broke out.

No matter how good her memory was, she couldn't remember the exact date. She could only remember that it was midsummer when the plague broke out, and at that time, An Lingyi's house was still filled with ice cubes. The summer was also very cool, making her envious for a while.

Counting the time, there was still at least twenty to thirty days until the outbreak of the plague in his previous life, so why was Lan Xin infected by the plague?

An Lingge couldn't understand why this was happening. Could it be that her rebirth had allowed the plague to break out earlier?

If this was the case, then perhaps his Prince An's Palace would be safe and sound this time.

She calculated in her heart. After returning to her own house, she immediately wrote a letter to Chu Yu, asking him to pile up all the medicinal ingredients she had accumulated and also teaching him the method to concoct the medicine.

However, even after half a month had passed, nothing had changed in the capital.

The eunuch who passed down the decree stood in front of the Prince An's Palace door, and pointed his chin at the group of people. "King An has spread rumors and deceived the Emperor. We are here to place him in prison."
