Accompanying a monarch was like accompanying a tiger.

An Yingcheng looked at the angered face of the emperor and thought.

He was a little flustered in his heart, but in the next moment, he understood that the emperor was not really going to destroy his Prince An's Palace.

"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!" An Yingcheng took two steps forward, his expression unchanging. "This subject entered the palace rashly for the sake of the Emperor's mountains and rivers, the citizens of the Emperor. May Your Majesty listen to this subject, and be on your guard!"

His solemn and solemn expression made the emperor even more infuriated. King An's words sounded as if the enemy forces had struck the capital, or as if someone had rebelled. He even mentioned his lands and rivers, making them even more stable!

The emperor sat back down on his seat with a gloomy face and stared straight at An Yingcheng with his sharp eyes, "King An, you came here to tell me that the capital is about to fall into a plague based on the death of a young maid, if I believe you, wouldn't it be making the people of the world laugh at my impotence?"

An Yingcheng laughed bitterly, there was no proof in this matter, if the servant did not die in his residence, Little Ge and the doctor would have already diagnosed that the servant died from the plague, he would not dare believe it!

But since he had decided to tell the Emperor about it, he would not back down.

"Your majesty, this subject has already asked the doctor in the house to look and confirm that the maid died from the plague. If the Emperor does not trust this humble subject, this humble subject is willing to vouch for him with his life. A plague will soon befall the capital. If this does not succeed, this subject is willing to commit suicide within the clan. "

An Yingcheng bent his body down, and this sentence caused the emperor to be extremely shocked.

In the Emperor's heart, An Yingcheng had always been a person who had no opinions, and he had never interfered with matters of the imperial court. Although he had some ambitions, his ability was far too mediocre, and looking at it now, it seemed like Prince An had some character, and actually dared to use his life to guarantee it.

With this thought, the anger in the Emperor's heart subsided a little. His eyes were still sharp and deep. "Alright. Since you dare to guarantee it with your life, I'll believe you this once."

An Yingcheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, pretending to accidentally raise his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

On the other side, An Lingge ordered her men to burn down the woodshed. After taking care of Lan Xin's matters, before she even returned to her own courtyard, she met An Lingyi.

"What is Big Sis doing? Could it be that since this fire is fun, Big Sis is going to use it to burn the mansion and play around? "

An Lingyi wore a white, plain white dress with indigo plum blossom and bamboo leaves embroidered on the outside. She wore a long dress with gold thread and water shadow, it was obvious that she was dressed daintily, but her pretty face carried a hint of ridicule.

It was all's fault, leading to the aunt being punished by the madame, getting whipped, and now even laying on the bed. Yet, An Lingge actually ordered the person beside him to burn a woodshed, and was purposely causing trouble for the aunt taking advantage of the aunt's serious injuries and not being able to take care of matters!

Her hostility towards An Lingge was so obvious that even An Lingmeng, who was behind her, could feel it. She immediately lowered his head as if she didn't know anything.

An Lingyi suddenly spoke out, "Fourth sister, tell me, did big sister not have a good reputation? She wronged me on Grandmother's birthday, and now that she has ordered someone to burn the woodshed, if no one is in charge of it, who knows when big sister will tear down our Duke's Mansion."

Being called out by An Lingyi, An Lingmeng could no longer pretend to be deaf and mute, and could only let out a dry laugh, "What big sister has done is indeed excessive, but she has always been generous.

Initially, she did not want to offend anyone, as the first few words resonated with An Lingyi, and the latter two words gave An Lingge a way out.

But An Lingyi's face did not look any better, to the point of anger.

An Lingmeng was only a small concubine in the second house who had no power or influence in this house. She had looked up to her and had her stay by her side a few times, but she didn't try to curry favor with him, and actually wanted to be on good terms with him?

She was just a lowly daughter, yet she still wanted to please both sides. She didn't want to offend anyone. In her dreams!

An Lingyi snorted, her eyes causing An Lingmeng's heart to turn cold, "Then can big sister tell me what made her do this?"

In the entire capital, no one would dare burn their own woodshed. If it wasn't for the fact that the aunt was currently lying on the bed, she would have used this matter to suppress An Lingge's arrogance.

An Lingge's eyes lightly shifted over. She clearly had a gorgeous face, but when matched with her cold and indifferent expression, it made people feel a chill in their heart, making people not dare to look directly into her black eyes.

"Third Sister, I have already reported this matter to Father. If you have any objections, you might as well go and speak with Father directly."

An Lingge pursed her lips, there was a hint of disdain on her lips, as if An Lingyi, a concubine, was not fit to ask her that question.

But what An Lingyi hated the most was this expression!

An Lingge was only born with the good fortune to become the new daughter of her father, but she was also her daughter, so why was An Lingge even nobler than her? Why should she lower herself in front of An Lingge?

She would definitely remove An Lingge, get rid of this stumbling block, and become father's only daughter!

An Lingyi fiercely clenched her teeth, her eyes revealed a sinister ruthlessness, but her expression was innocent and charming, "So it was father who ordered big sister to burn down the woodshed, I have never seen father give such an absurd order." She paused, her large almond eyes beaming with light. "But father's order, why is it given to Big Sis to do it? Did all the servants by his side run off to be lazy?"

These words seemed to be for An Lingge's sake, but in reality, it was comparing An Lingge to a servant, implying that An Lingge was willing to lower herself to do things that a servant would do.

As if she didn't understand the mockery in An Lingyi's words, she smiled at An Lingyi, her bright and beautiful face becoming even more dazzling, "The things that should have been left to Aunt Li to do. After all, she has been in charge of the Duke Palace for so many years. But she's just been whipped and she's lying in bed and she can't move. It's when she's weak, and I can't let her take care of the chores with her wounds, so I have to find someone to do it for me. "

Didn't An Lingyi say that doing all these would be no different from being a servant? But Aunt Li had done this countless times, and An Lingyi mocked her until she was no different from a servant. Aunt Li was like a servant, as long as it was An Lingyi who was born as a "servant", he would lower himself to her.

Furthermore, she had done all of this for the benefit of the Aunt Li, and only after letting him recuperate, did she accept this. However, An Lingyi actually mocked her, showing that she did not know what was good for him.
