Rebirth of Splendid Heaven

122 The Long Night
An Mujin only stayed in the palace for two days and one night, but she felt as if she had stayed in the palace for two years.

I don't know if it was because he was too frightened in the palace, An Mujin always had nightmares at night.Either dreaming that the eldest prince is pressing down on An Muxue, or dreaming that the emperor is pressing down on Concubine De, and these people know that she is watching them but don't care at all, and even smile at her sinisterly.

An Mujin woke up several times a night, touched his forehead, it was full of sweat.

It was still dark outside, An Mujin fell asleep again, and just as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the emperor pressing Concubine De, Concubine De was smiling sharply under him, with a ferocious face.

"Ningyan!" An Mujin couldn't bear this nightmare anymore, and called out, and Ningyan quickly came in.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Ning Yan guessed that she was having a nightmare when she heard An Mujin's yelling so anxiously.

"Ningyan, go and call Mama Lin here, I have something to tell her." An Mujin sat up and began to dress.

When Mama Lin came, her coat was still unbuttoned, she hurried to An Mujin's side, touched her forehead, her hands were cold.He touched her little hand again, which was still wet with sweat, and asked, "Miss, what did you see in the palace?"

An Mujin lay beside Mama Lin's ear, and told Mama Lin everything she saw and heard.

Mother Lin's eyes widened when she heard this, she grabbed An Mujin's hand and said, "Miss, are these all true?"

An Mujin nodded: "An Muxue was told by Zhen'er who saw it, and I heard what Defei said with my own ears."

"Miss, could it be that someone deliberately designed this for you to see and hear?" Mother Lin reminded An Mujin to come to her senses.

What kind of place is the imperial palace? How can the First Prince and An Muxue be allowed to mess around.And it was a coincidence that Sister Zhen saw it, and the Seventh Prince pointed her to find Sister Zhen. Could it be that this was a game from the beginning?

Lixue Palace is far away from that place, Concubine De usually does not go to that remote place, how did she know?Someone must have told her that the person who informed her should be the Seventh Prince.

Concubine De also asked which one would An Mujin choose between the queen and her, the eldest prince and the seventh prince?
The empress is the eldest prince's biological mother, and An Mujin chooses the empress to choose the elder prince.So Concubine De has reached a consensus with the Seventh Prince, have the two joined forces?
Thinking about it this way, An Mujin finally figured out why Concubine De would ask her those inexplicable questions.Concubine De was worried that she, like An Muxue, chose the Queen.

There is just one thing that An Mujin doesn't understand, why should he choose between the queen and the concubine?And why let her make this choice? Is her choice important?

"Miss, what do you remember?" After a while, Mother Lin asked.

An Mujin came back to her senses, looked at Mama Lin and shook her head: "I seem to have figured it out, and I seem to be unable to figure it out again. Anyway, it's very messy."

"Things that can't be figured out are like a dying fish. After it dies, it will automatically surface." Mother Lin comforted.

"Mom, Concubine De gave me An Muxue's embroidered handkerchief. I wanted to throw it away, but I was worried." An Mujin took out the embroidered handkerchief, and Lin's mother held the embroidered handkerchief and looked at it for a while, "Miss, you are being tricked No. This embroidered handkerchief belongs to the palace, so it cannot belong to the eldest lady."

"Ah?" An Mujin took the embroidered handkerchief and looked at it carefully, but didn't see anything.

"Miss, look here, the embroidery thread is a little fluorescent. It may not be visible during the day, but it can be seen at night. This is a kind of tribute called celestial silk, and it is not available in other places except in the palace." Mother Lin pointed to the embroidered flowers and embroidered characters and said.

An Mujin faced the light and took a closer look. It was indeed glowing with fluorescent light, which was really beautiful.Good-looking is good-looking, but An Mujin can't appreciate it at all now, and feels like a hot potato in his hand.

"Mom, what should I do? I wanted to throw this thing in the Hou Mansion, but you said it belonged to the palace, how dare I throw it away? I really regret it, I should have thrown it in the palace yesterday Yes." An Mujin grabbed the embroidered handkerchief, annoyed.

"Miss, don't panic, let mother think about it again." Mother Lin said thoughtfully.

An Mujin looked at Mama Lin expectantly, hoping that she would come up with an idea soon.

After half a stick of incense, Mother Lin happily said: "Miss, why not treat it as a token of love from the eldest prince to the eldest lady."

"This..." An Mujin still couldn't understand what Lin's mother said.

"I'll take this embroidered handkerchief and put it on the carriage where the eldest lady is sitting. When someone finds this embroidered handkerchief tomorrow, they will definitely think it belongs to the eldest lady. At that time..." Mother Lin laughed.

Hearing what Lin's mother said, An Mujin finally understood.Put this embroidered handkerchief on the carriage, and give it to An Muxue under the guise of a servant.When An Muxue saw the extraordinary embroidered handkerchief, she would think that the eldest prince deliberately put it on the carriage and secretly gave it to her.

With Mama Lin's ingenious plan, An Mujin didn't worry about the embroidered handkerchief anymore, and she slept soundly now.

That night, An Mujin was not the only one who had nightmares in the Hou Mansion, but also sister Zhen.

In Zhenxiu Garden, Sister Zhen hugged Ningdong's slender waist, buried her head in her chest, choked up and said: "Ningdong, I'm afraid."

"Miss, what's wrong with you? If it's a nightmare, please tell your servant. If you tell me, the nightmare won't happen again." Ningdong comforted her while wiping Sister Zhen with a handkerchief. tears.

Sister Zhen bit her lip stubbornly, shaking her head hard.

No, she won't say it.

She knew what the eldest prince was doing with An Muxue, An Muxue was so despicable, she didn't resist at all, but helped the eldest prince enter her body.

In the Hou Mansion, An Muxue was the one Sister Zhen hated the most.Just because she is a prostitute, she has always been superior.Seeing what others did made her unhappy, so she could teach others a lesson without caring about others' feelings at all.

The night was still long, but sister Zhen didn't feel sleepy at all, so she asked Ningdong to take out the purse given to her by the little lady.

She poured out all the money in the purse. There was silver and gold. This was money she had never seen so much.

"Ningdong, will you be rich if you become a wife?" Sister Zhen asked innocently.

Ning Dong didn't know what Sister Zhen meant, so she responded, "It should be."

"I hate that my aunt is just an aunt. She dislikes me for being a concubine all day, but I still complain that she shouldn't be an aunt." Sister Zhen said every word, and put all the money into the purse.

Before handing the money bag to Ning Dong to put it away, she took the money bag back, took out two pieces of silver from it and said to Ning Dong: "Ning Dong, I reward you and Ning Bo."

"Thank you, Miss." It was the first time that Ning Dong received money from Sister Zhen, and she did not expect to get so much in one reward.

When Sister Zhen saw Ning Dong's expression of immediately flattering her a hundred times, the vanity in her heart instantly swelled a hundred times.She likes this feeling of superiority, just like Princess Shuyan, the maids salute her when they see her.

After spending most of the night last night, An Mujin got up late in the morning and missed the time to go to the old lady to say hello.She thinks it's fine if she misses it, and she will explain it to the old lady tomorrow, and today she wants to relax.

After breakfast, the little lady came in from the outside. Seeing that An Mujin looked good, she said worriedly: "Yesterday only the eldest lady came back alone. I was still worried about what happened to you and Zhen'er. Seeing that you came back well Mother is relieved. It’s just that I was very tired from seeing you yesterday, and I didn’t ask about what happened in your palace. Tell mother what happened in the past two days.”

"Mother is worried. It was Defei who left me to live in the palace, and Zhen'er was left by Princess Shuyan. In fact, it's the same as in the Hou's mansion. Everyone eats and talks." An Mujin hurriedly explained.

Upon hearing that Concubine De left behind An Mujin, the little lady was silent for a while and said: "Jin'er, Concubine De is from the Kong family. You and the Kong family... it's better to have less contact. According to the imperial decree of the palace, just pretend to be sick."

"Mother, Jin'er knows it well. The next time I enter the palace, Jin'er will pretend to be sick on the road, and then I can come back." An Mujin acted like a baby, and the little lady pinched her face and smiled: "I know you It's fine, mother will go and see Zhen'er again."

Not long after the little lady left, An Muxue walked in with a smile on her face, and shouted excitedly, "Sister Jin'er."

An Mujin felt a headache when he heard her voice, and it was too late to hide, so he sneered and said, "Sister Xue'er, why are you here?"

An Muxue didn't seem to understand the indifference in An Mujin's words, she shook the handkerchief in her hand, lifted the hem of her clothes, approached An Mujin, pointed to the clothes on her body and said, "Sister Jin'er, look at me! Does the dress look good? It was given to me by the queen, and this embroidered handkerchief was also given to me by the queen. The fabric and the needlework on it are all tributes."

That embroidered handkerchief was clearly the one that An Mujin brought back. An Mujin thought that An Muxue would think that the embroidered handkerchief was given to her by the eldest prince, but she thought it was given to her by the queen.

But soon An Mujin figured it out, the current An Muxue was still engaged to the Jin family, so of course she couldn't say that those things were given by the eldest prince.There is no difference between saying it was from the empress and saying it was from the eldest prince, they are all from the same family.

After An Mujin understood, when she heard An Muxue showing off how good that dress and handkerchief were to her, she just wanted to laugh.

An Muxue's clothes must have been torn and she had nothing to wear, that's why the eldest prince gave her a set of clothes to cover her body.Who knew that she would run to show off in front of him. I don't know if the First Prince would feel ashamed if he found out.

After all, the eldest prince does not lack such clothes, nor does he lack a woman like An Muxue.

Whether she will be able to marry into the First Prince's Mansion in the future, An Mujin finds it hard to say.
