With regards to Shi Anran, from the point of view that she could not bear to look at him from the start to the present, the little by little accumulation caused her to only think about how she could vent her anger in her heart. But when she heard the emperor praise Shi Anran, she became even more jealous. Although her expression was indifferent, one could not see the rage in her eyes. However, one could not hide the viciousness in her eyes.
Cui Yun quickly rushed back to the palace and said to Shi Anran, "Aunt, you did not guess wrongly. Imperial Noble Consort Lan actually went to the emperor to cry and complain, but the emperor doesn't seem to like her."
This was within Shi Anran's expectations. Her thin lips slightly curved, and she spoke with a clear and bland voice. "Imperial Noble Consort Lan must be itching to eat me alive right now?"
"That will depend whether she has the ability or not. Aunt is favored by the Emperor, so what if Imperial Noble Consort Lan has Dragon Children? So what if she is a princess for her forever?" in the end, it's impossible for you to inherit the throne. " Cui Yun said leisurely.
Shi Anran remained silent. Imperial Noble Consort Lan would definitely not let things go so easily after what had happened this time, she had to be completely prepared. Otherwise, he would be falling for her.
The next day, Shi Anran deliberately walked around the lake that Imperial Noble Consort Zhao often visited, and as expected, she met Imperial Noble Consort Zhao.
She slowly walked over and bowed towards Ying Fu: "Anran pays her respects to Imperial Noble Consort Zhao!"
"Exempt!" Imperial Noble Consort Zhao sat on the soft chair, holding a small delicate wine cup with her fingertip. She smiled as he watched her walk over, and said gently: "Come and sit here, why are you free today to look for me?"
How did she know that she had come to see her, not by chance? Although Shi Anran was suspicious, she did not explain anything. She slowly walked over and sat down beside her, muttering to herself: "Since Anran has nothing to do, why can't she come and chat with the Empress to relieve her boredom?"
"Of course you can. However, I have never missed the opportunity to see others' eyes. In your heart, there are things that cannot be hidden from my eyes." Saying that, Imperial Noble Consort Zhao pursed her lips and laughed.
Shi Anran, on the other hand, preferred to talk to smart girls, so she didn't need to hide anything. She said softly: "Imperial Noble Consort Lan seems to be too arrogant this time, Empress, what do you think?"
"She doesn't know what's good for her, but I have many ways to make her depressed. It's just that I didn't have the mood to play tricks with her until now. Since she still doesn't know how to repent, then it looks like …" It's time for me to take action. " Imperial Noble Consort Zhao slightly raised her chin, a trace of undetectable coldness appearing in her eyes.
After hearing what she said, Shi Anran smiled faintly, and her pursed lips slowly opened a crack, as she said in a lukewarm voice: "I'm worried that she will make a move in the next two days, I just don't know what method she will use to harm others this time."
"Does Third Prince know about her framing you?" Imperial Noble Consort Zhao suddenly asked.
Her seemingly careless words caused Shi Anran to be stunned for a moment. What did that mean?
After thinking about it, she replied, "These are just some insignificant questions, I don't think there's a need to let Third Prince know about them, so I didn't say anything." Third Prince did not only have Imperial Noble Consort Zhao as a spy in the palace. Even if Shi Anran did not say anything, she did not believe that the Third Prince would not know!
Imperial Noble Consort Zhao pursed her lips and laughed, then asked: "Anran, in your eyes, what kind of person is Third Prince?"
Why did the Imperial Noble Consort Zhao ask these insignificant questions today?
Shi Anran pondered for a moment before opening her mouth: Third Prince is a prince, Anran does not dare to judge him recklessly, but in Anran's eyes, Anran has always thought that his Highness is a dragon and phoenix amongst men, maybe one day, there will be a chance for him to change something.
These words also caused Imperial Noble Consort Zhao to be stunned, but she quickly covered up her emotions. Her eyes revealed a faint emotion that made it difficult to tell what she was thinking, "Even you think so.
When the two of them looked at each other, the look in the Imperial Noble Consort Zhao's eyes was still unreadable. Shi Anran took the cup from her, and she spoke out slowly: "When people are born with death, if one is unable to accomplish anything before dying, then wouldn't one have walked the world in vain? Anran, sometimes human nature is scary. The key is how can a person use it and grasp it, do you understand? "
Does she mean that I should completely become a member of the Third Prince?
For some reason, the outcome had clearly been set in his mind, but when he heard these words, he still felt very uncomfortable. It was as if countless feathers were poking at his heart. It did not hurt, but it made him feel uncomfortable.
"Empress, Anran no longer has a choice …" Ever since she decided to work together with the Third Prince, she had put aside some of it. Their ending had long been decided at Han Mountain Temple.
That piece of red silk was tied to her heart's desire. Although she had always doubted her own decision, there was no way out even if she regretted it now.
Imperial Noble Consort Zhao filled a cup of fine wine for her. Her voice contained a hint of a smile, and although she looked gentle, it was hard to find any warmth in her. After a long while, the Imperial Noble Consort Zhao finally said faintly: "Why don't you tell this palace, what are you still worried about?"
Are you worried? He lowered his sharp eyes for a long time before slowly opening his mouth, "I don't know if what I have done was right or wrong, but since I was wrong and did not turn around to shoot, the Empress can rest assured that Anran will definitely help the Third Prince out."
Seeing her serious expression, Imperial Noble Consort Zhao finally smiled and nodded in satisfaction, then said gently: "It's naturally for the best that you can think like this, everyone has their own choice, your choice is wise."
After talking for a while, Shi Anran inadvertently asked: "Oh right, what has Third Prince been busy with recently? Why are there so few people who have seen him enter the palace? "
"Haha …" The Imperial Noble Consort Zhao covered her lips with a silk handkerchief and laughed. She looked at her with a dubious expression, "Yo, wouldn't you see the Third Prince every day since you follow the Emperor into the imperial court? Why? How long has it been since we last saw each other, and yet you miss him again? "
After hearing that, Shi Anran felt a bit awkward. She did not expect that such an unintentional sentence would actually make the Imperial Noble Consort Zhao joke around.
Behind him, Li Mu's footsteps stopped in place. He had only heard what Imperial Noble Consort Zhao had just said, but his eyes were still as calm as water. The gaze he used to look at Shi Anran's back also contained a little confusion.
