As Yuan Qingling expected, King An indeed spent three days to replace Ah Ru's confidants. The people who had been in contact with her before were now replaced by King An's people. Of course, those before were also
They were all loyal to King An, but because Ah Ru was good at winning people's hearts, in order to avoid making mistakes, King An replaced them first.
He directly ignored Ah Ru first.
He would not easily let go of anyone who hurt Princess An, otherwise he would not have brought people out of the palace to kill the Marquis of Zhenbei that night.
However, he was actually a very tolerant person. He let Ah Ru operate under his nose for three days, but he didn’t let Ah Ru notice the clues. Ah Ru thought that the matter was over, so he came out calmly.
Go to the palace.
She knew that Ah Si was following, but she didn't take Ah Si seriously at all. She sneered in her heart. He had asked people to watch Ah Si's martial arts routines several times. It was indeed good, but compared with hers, it was still a long way behind.
cut.
However, she also knew that Ah Si would be aggressive when she came with him, just to test whether she knew martial arts. Therefore, she deliberately did not get on the carriage, but went out along the imperial city and started to attack on the street.
She didn't fight back, and Ah Si didn't dare to go too far.
She was only looking at Ah Si and didn't notice a carriage coming quickly from behind her. When it arrived in front of her, two people flew out, grabbed her left and right hands and got on the carriage. She couldn't even resist.
If you resist, you will be subdued.
When she saw a familiar face, she could still get angry a few times, but she actually knew it already and her face turned a bit pale.
These people were all subordinates of King An, and they were usually dispatched by King An. She also needed King An's order to dispatch these people.
At that moment, fear swept through her heart, and she finally realized that those three days were not calm, but a terrifying wave was brewing.
One of her palms was cut off on the carriage, and the person who cut off her hand was Duanmu, who had been with King An for many years and was die-hardly loyal to him.
He was extremely cold and ruthless, and he cut it off with a knife. His handsome features did not waver at all, and he only said coldly, "This is the prince's order. No wonder the girl is here."
Ah Ru fainted from the pain.
When she woke up, she found that she was already in the room in Prince An's Mansion. She was thrown on the bed, and her hands had been bandaged to stop the bleeding.
The sky was already dark, a lamp was lit on the table, and the light was dim.
"woke up?"
Suddenly, a nice and familiar voice came from the room.
Her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.
She remembered that when she heard this voice for the first time, her heart jumped a few times. This voice always came to her in her dreams in the following years.
She longed to hear this voice all the time.
However, she never thought that one day she would be so afraid of hearing sounds.
She slowly curled up and looked in the direction of the sound. He was nestled in front of the dressing table, with his arms folded across his chest. A gust of cold wind blew in through the slightly opened window, making the lights sway unsteadily, and his face also changed.
It's cloudy or sunny.
"The lights are too dark, you can't see me clearly, can you?"
King An stretched out his long legs, took a candle with a thick baby's arm, and lit it with a flint. He held the candle in his hand, and the light illuminated his face as gloomy as a ghost.
Ah Ru's whole body trembled uncontrollably, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
"Are you afraid?"
King An watched the candle burn for a while, and the candle tears burned out. He dropped the candle tears on the dressing table, and then dipped the bottom of the candle on it. The candlestick was clearly next to him, and he didn't use it. He just held it in his hand and played with it.
Lifting it slightly, a cold light flashed.
Ah Ru was so frightened that her teeth chattered, "Ah Ru... Ah Ru is wrong. Your Majesty forgives Ah Ru."
King An smiled like a clear moon, and the gloominess disappeared, "What did you do wrong?"
"Ahru should not...should not attack the princess. Ahru is wrong. Please forgive me. Ahru will never dare to do it again. Please forgive Ahru for the sake of Ahru's many years of loyalty. Ahru.
I don’t dare anymore.”
Ah Ru slowly got up, knelt on the bed and kowtowed, her face already pale.
King An walked over with the candlestick and sat on the stool next to the bed. He looked at Ah Ru's bleeding hand. The blood seeping out fell on the jade brocade quilt, as if a light red and dark pink flower had bloomed.
rose.
He said: "You have been with me for so many years and you know my temper. From the first day you stayed with me, I have told you that the last thing I will not allow is for someone to hurt the princess.
Have you taken it to heart?"
"I remember, I remember," Ah Ru nodded, panicked tears sliding down his face, "Ah Ru, I remember, I won't dare to do it again. Ah Ru just lost his mind for a moment and did what he did.
If something like this happens, my lord, please spare Ah Ru."
King An looked at her and shook his head dissatisfied, "You know that I am a hard-nosed person, so why do you pretend to be pitiful?
Do you think this king will let you go?
It's better to put away this face, I don't like to see people looking weak and pitiful."
The sorrow and fear on Ah Ru's face slowly shattered. She sat cross-legged and looked at King An. The look of pity and begging just now was gone, replaced by coldness and hatred. "It's really the greatest evil in the world.
The prince actually doesn’t like to look weak?
Doesn’t that bitch look weak and compassionate?
Why isn’t the prince disgusted?
Why does the prince still treat her like jewels and treasures, but throw my sincerity to the ground and trample on her?"
King An was not angry at all, he stroked the lotus pattern on the candlestick with his hand and smiled scornfully, "How can you compare with her?
You are not worthy, she is a flawless snowflake, and you are a stinky weed with a dirty mind that grows in the gutter. I will hate you no matter what you look like, but I will like her no matter what you look like. That's it."
A Ru held up her hands and laughed three times. After laughing, she stared at Prince An with sorrow and anger, "I am a smelly grass, and so is the prince. Aren't all my dirty thoughts just for the prince?"
Why do you deserve Bai Xuehua?"
"no!"
King An shook his head, with no trace of anger in his eyes, "Are you doing this for me?
You are doing it for yourself. The post is what you have dreamed of all your life. From the first day you followed me, you knew that even if I succeed in great things in the future, you will not be a candidate for the post. To be honest, Ah Ru, you are very
You are capable of doing things, and I have been relying on you all these years. Now that I want to kill you, I really don’t want to give up. It’s a shame that I have trained you for so many years.”
"If you want to kill, then kill, why bother saying these hypocritical words?"
Ah Ru also took the risk and looked at him, "It's just that I don't understand. She can't even preside over the inner courtyard of the palace. How can she preside over the harem in the future?"
She will never be your good wife. If the prince likes her, he can just put her in the palm of his hand and pamper her, so why kill someone who can really do things for you for her?"
"This king has been doing this until Ah Ru hurt her, isn't it?"
Prince An's eyes were deep, as if he had seen into Ah Ru's heart, "Is there anything else you don't understand?
Seeing that you have been with me for so many years, now that I am here, I can answer you and make you understand."
Ah Ru's lips trembled, and her voice became more choked up, "What I don't understand is why does she get the prince's love?
What's so good about her?"
King An looked at her with a tone full of compassion, "Because she is different from us. Everything about her including her soul is clean. Her world is full of gentleness and friendliness. She is not stained with any blood and cannot afford any greed or ambition."
, Aru, actually we all need this kind of salvation, but it’s a pity that you don’t understand.”
