Mu Junhan followed beside him, and looked at An Lingge who had become much thinner. Although her expression did not change, there was already a trace of heartache in her eyes.
The father and daughter duo finally returned to the palace safely.
Of course, Aunt Li and An Lingyi were not happy about An Lingge's return.
Since An Yingcheng was also in front of them, the mother and daughter pair revealed looks of wild joy as they spoke a set of auspicious words.
On the other hand, An Yingcheng was very cold to the two of them.
Ever since he knew that Aunt Li and An Lingyi saying that this was all An Lingge's fault in front of the Eunuch who gave the order, he felt that these two people did not have the slightest consciousness belonging to the Duke Palaces.
In the face of danger, they did not know that they had to unite together to survive. Instead, they pushed An Lingge out.
Aunt Li had accompanied An Yingcheng for more than ten years, so how could he not feel the dissatisfaction in the heart of the person beside him?
Her smile was gentle and generous, but her heart was already bleeding.
After watching An Lingge enter the dungeon, she thought that she would stay in the gloomy prison for the rest of his life. However, the heavens were so angry, they actually let her leave in one piece!
If she had known that An Lingge's life was so good, she would have spoken up for An Lingge no matter what and protected him a little.
Aunt Li was bitter, but An Lingyi's gaze was glued to Mu Junhan's body.
When she saw An Lingge being brought back by Mu Junhan, fire almost ignited in her eyes. But Mu Junhan treating An Lingge coldly, as though he was a stranger that was distant and distant.
This attitude made An Lingyi secretly rejoice, feeling that after Hereditary Prince Mu recognized the true nature of this woman, she finally had the chance to get close to the one whom she liked!
"This time around, father and big sister are safe and sound. It's all thanks to the efforts of Hereditary Prince Mu in front of the Emperor that she thanked him."
Mu Junhan took a step back, and said with a bland expression, "This Hereditary Prince only thinks that the millions of civilians need my Prince An, there is no need to thank me."
He looked at An Lingyi's gentle expression, and a trace of disgust flashed past his eyes, "This Hereditary Prince still has things to do, so I won't disturb Prince An's family reunion anymore."
An Yingcheng personally saw him out of the residence, then said a few words to make everyone feel at ease, that he did not suffer and that he did not want them to continue doing what they should do, that he was attended by a servant to bathe and change.
An Lingyi who had returned to her courtyard grabbed the peony that was just right opened up by her side. She crushed it in her hands and the flower petals were stepped on by her embroidered shoes, but she was still unable to dispel her hatred.
When Aunt Li saw her current state, a trace of helplessness flashed past her eyes. "Yi Er, what's wrong with you now?"
"Mother, that bitch An Lingge is too much of an eyesore!" An Lingyi pouted, her little daughter acting like a spoiled child, "Your daughter doesn't want to see her in the Palace, help your daughter think of a way."
So it was because of this.
Aunt Li laughed and took out a letter from her bosom.
"Look at what this is?"
An Lingyi took the letter, and clearly saw the contents on it, her expression changed by several degrees.
"Originally, I did not plan to tell you about this, but since An Lingge returned unharmed, we can agree to Seventh Prince's request." Aunt Li's eyes flashed with a vicious light as she whispered sinister plans into her daughter's ears.
An Lingge was extremely unwilling to let An Lingyi pull her along to view the lake. She had just come out of prison, so she needed to calm down a little.
However, the relationship between An Lingyi and her could be said to be like fire and water. This person was completely abnormal.
An Lingge was curious about her goal so she stepped onto this pleasure boat.
"Elder sister, look at the lanterns over there. They're so beautiful!"
Just as she stood at the edge of the cruise liner, she heard An Lingyi's soft cheers.
An Lingge turned her head to look, only to suddenly have two hands reach out from his back, pushing her out of the painting boat and into the lake!
This scene looked familiar. In a split-second, An Lingge remembered something.
Back then, she had been deceived by An Lingyi and her daughter, and even thought that Seventh Prince was a good person.
However, later on, Zhao Lanyu had an unfathomable thought about her and even more so wanted to use himself to force An Yingcheng to stand in his camp and help him fight for the throne.
An Lingyi knew about this, so she faked it and brought to the cruise ship to enjoy the scenery, but secretly attacked him, causing him to fall into the water.
On the other hand, she colluded with Zhao Lanyu and allowed Zhao Lanyu to "save" her.
An Lingge instantly figured out her situation. She glanced over and indeed, she saw a tall figure jumped down from the small boat not far away, swimming towards her.
No, I can't let Zhao Lanyu save me. Otherwise, even if I don't help Zhao Lanyu to fight for the throne, in the eyes of others, the Duke Palaces will no longer be related to the Seventh Prince in any way.
With this thought in mind, she immediately swam backwards. Her slender figure was like a nimble fish, disappearing without a trace. Her speed was so fast that people would click their tongues.
Zhao Lanyu, who was about to save her, "..."
The Miss An was so good at swimming, she didn't need him to save her! But An Lingyi had even promised him that she would definitely succeed in this matter!
He couldn't help but cast a blaming glance at An Lingyi. That gaze carried a bit of ice-cold intent, causing the latter to instantly stiffen in place.
Damnit, this was not the plan. When did An Lingge learn to swim?
She clenched her fists and bit her lips, not knowing what to do, when she saw that Mu Junhan actually appeared out of nowhere and also jumped into the water with her.
"Hereditary Prince Mu, save me!"
An Lingge swam to Mu Junhan's side, and then let out a "delicate" cry.
Looking at her obvious playful expression, Mu Junhan's mouth twitched, but he still quickly swam over to her side and brought her to the shore.
An Lingge stayed in Mu Junhan's embrace, feeling his gentle embrace, and looked up and observed him.
Looking at it from this angle, all that could be seen was his graceful line of jaw, and his faintly protruding adam's apple. What attracted An Lingge's attention the most was still his alluring collarbone.
He was originally wearing a white robe, but because he was wet, the white robe stuck onto his body. The collar of the robe was slightly open, making it easier for the young woman to peep at him.
Water droplets rolled down her smooth face and fell onto her collarbone, adding to her beauty.
Just as An Lingge was thinking that, she saw Mu Junhan suddenly lower his head, and a demonic face appeared in her eyes.
He was extremely white, and when he lowered his head to look at An Lingge, his almond-shaped eyes drooped, as long eyelashes covered his jade-white face and cast a faint shadow over his eyes.
