"How could that man be strange?" An Lingyi laughed, "That thing is in An Lingge's courtyard, she is the direct descendant of Prince An's Palace, yet she is hoarding medicinal herbs for the enemy, we cannot let her go so easily!"

No matter if the medicinal ingredients were openly prepared or if An Lingge ordered people to stock them up, as long as they were in the courtyard, the owner of the courtyard would not be able to escape suspicion.

As long as she blamed this on An Lingge and asked the Emperor to punish her for betraying the nation, no matter what, she wouldn't be able to escape in one piece, even if she was the direct daughter of the Prince An's Palace.

This time, she didn't believe that An Lingge's life was still so huge, that even the Emperor wouldn't be able to kill her!

An Lingyi thought as the smile on her face grew wider.

Madam Li also smiled. The mother and daughter pair's smiles were surprisingly similar, only that it looked a little more sinister and malicious.

"I will have someone send a message to Seventh Prince right now and have him deal with this matter. A great calamity is about to befall An Lingge."

Not only that, they could also use this matter to go up another level to let the Seventh Prince leave a stable impression in front of the Emperor.

Although the current Emperor is still in his prime, the princes are gradually growing up. It is time to openly and secretly try to rope in their forces. If the Seventh Prince obtains the attention of the Emperor, then they will have even more confidence in fighting for the throne.

The Seventh Prince was currently in his own residence. When he was young, the emperor had bestowed upon him a mansion, which was his prince's mansion.

A servant suddenly spread the news to him that the Madam Li had arrived, he did not want to see, the last time An Lingyi resolved the marriage matter, he had been attacked by Prince Yi in the imperial court, causing the Royal Father to be unhappy, and now that the Madam Li sent someone to deliver the news, it might not be a good thing.

"Tell the person who sent the message to go back, that this prince is busy with official business, and will visit them at Prince An's Palace when I get the chance."

He waved his hand and was about to suppress the servant, but the servant did not move, and continued to stand at his original spot with his head lowered, "Master, the messenger that came to deliver the news said that Aunt Li knows where the spies of the Qingyue Kingdom are. She said that you definitely need this news, which is why she sent someone to send it over."

Detail of Qingyue Kingdom?

Zhao Lanyu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly changed his mind, "Let him in."

The servant immediately went to bring the messenger in, then tactfully retreated.

Zhao Lanyu sized up the person in front of him, his deep eyes unable to discern his emotions, "You said that Aunt Li knows about the information regarding the Qingyue Kingdom's spies, is that true?"

"Of course it's true. How could I dare to deceive you?"

"Our aunt said that the Eldest Miss ordered people to stock up all the medicinal ingredients in the mansion and she even secretly hid them away. If it wasn't for Third Miss accidentally discovering them, no one would know that Eldest Miss actually dared to do something like selling the kingdom to the enemy."

Zhao Lanyu thought that the person would tell him something, but when he heard An Lingge, he immediately frowned.

Although he said it was because of the matter of the Qingyue Kingdom, in the end, wasn't he still going to use him to deal with An Lingge?

She was a woman after all. She had a shallow mind, and after thinking about it, she could only think of the land in the backyard. Her heart was filled with the thought of private matters.

"Alright, I understand. You can leave now."

Seeing that he did not seem to care at all, the man became anxious, "Seventh Prince, you better believe me. This matter was personally witnessed by the Third Miss, this lowly one would definitely not dare to lie to you."

Only then did Zhao Lanyu turn back to look at him, and with a taunting smile, "Since Aunt Li is willing to deal with An Lingge, I'll let her think of a way herself. I, a prince, am not someone she can use as a spear to deal with others."

Last time, the reason why they were able to settle the marriage settlement was because of their relatives. Otherwise, who would care about their life and death?

The messenger couldn't help but laugh awkwardly when he heard him talk about the Aunt Li.

But being able to be sent out by the Aunt Li, she was naturally not someone that the Seventh Prince could deal with in a few words.

"Seventh Prince, don't be angry, our aunt said that last time, it was all because of your help, which caused you to be scolded by the Emperor. It was her fault, and she felt very guilty, too, so she took the chance this time to send you a message, and even had me bring you something."

He took out a small box the size of his palm from his bosom with a mysterious smile on his face.

Zhao Lanyu was curious, he took the embroidered box from his hands and slowly opened it.

A gentle yet bright light immediately emitted out from the embroidered box, Zhao Lanyu's gaze was fixated on the object, and could not open his eyes for a long time.

"This is a little kindness from our aunt. There must be a Night Pearl of the East Sea in this world. I hope that Seventh Prince can feel better."

The embroidered box was filled with Night Pearls as big as an adult man's fist. Even in broad daylight, one could still see the radiance of the Night Pearls. It could be seen that they were of the highest quality.

Zhao Lanyu's expression softened, "This prince has never seen such a good Night Pearl even after staying in the palace for so many years. Aunt Li has troubled you."

"This is all thanks to this concubine." That person spoke as he bent his waist and laughed, his face scrunched up into a scowl. "You've helped aunty so much, it can be said that you've saved Third Young Miss's life. So what if Aunt gives you a Night Pearl?"

Zhao Lanyu slightly raised his brows, "So the reason why Aunt Li leaked news of An Lingge to me, and wanted me to show off my skills in front of Royal Father, can it be considered as compensation?"

"That's right, Seventh Prince is really intelligent." He paused for a moment, his small eyes brimming with happiness. "Our aunt felt that Seventh Prince was scolded by the Emperor for implicating her, so it was rare for her to find a chance to help Seventh Prince.

Zhao Lanyu didn't really care whether the Aunt Li thought this way or not.

He stared at the man, and lightly lifted his lips, "Aunt Li said that An Lingge had accumulated a lot of medicinal ingredients, is it accurate?"

"Why would Aunt lie to you?" This can't go wrong. "

That person confidently patted his chest, "Aunt even sent someone to look in the Eldest Miss's courtyard. One of the servants' rooms is filled with medicine cabinets, and there are indeed a lot of herbs piled up inside. The servants' room is half full."

Zhao Lanyu's eyes flashed. If it was really like this, then An Lingge's actions were very suspicious.

She was a direct descendant of Prince An's Palace, and wasn't sick. For her to suddenly stock up on medicinal herbs, she must have some unspeakable plans.

"Let's go, bring this prince to the Prince An's Palace. If An Lingge dares to collude with the enemy and betray the nation, this prince will immediately report her crime to the Royal Father, and definitely will not let her off."

He lifted up the hem of his clothes and walked out with large strides. His eyes were filled with excitement.
