MTL - The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 381 Don’t do anything

 Wang An still believed what Xiao Jin said.

 He watched Xiao Jin leave with an expectant look on his face.

Before leaving, Xiao Jin specially said a few words to the jailer in front of King An, asking the jailer to treat King An well, but King An was deeply moved.

 After all, Xiao Jin was the only brother who came to visit him these days.

Out of the prison, not far away, Chen Cheng came over, looked at each other and quickly separated from Xiao Jin.

 “His Royal Highness King Yu.”

 Chen Cheng saluted Xiao Jin as usual.

 Xiao Jin looked pale and said, "Mr. Chen."

The two of them said hello and left.

 One walked out and the other approached the prison.

Prince An's Mansion is now surrounded by the imperial army. The concubines can't run away, so they all gathered in Princess An's yard.

 Princess An usually doesn't care about anything. She either goes back to her parents' house or stays in her own yard.

Ordinary concubines cannot see her.

 But now that King An has been arrested, the only person in charge of matters in Prince An's palace is Princess An.

 Furthermore, only Princess An’s identity can play a role in King An’s matter.

“Princess, do you want to think of a solution?”

 “Something happened to the prince, can we still survive?”

When the Imperial Guards rushed in to arrest people, they saw a lot of concubines. Maybe they didn't recognize them at the time, but after listening to the conversation and calming down and thinking about it, they knew they were Imperial Guards.

If the imperial army can be dispatched to arrest people, the crime committed by King An will definitely be not small.

These concubines were so scared that if something happened to them, none of them would be able to escape.

 Princess An looked at the concubine who was kneeling on the ground and felt a little pain in her head.

She only knew that King An had brought in many concubines, but now she realized that they were all gone.

There was a lot of crying around her, which was noisy and gave people a headache.

 “Okay, everyone, shut up!”

 Princess An couldn't bear it anymore and slammed the table.

Hearing the sound, the concubines were startled, their shoulders shrank, and they became quieter, but they could still faintly hear the whimpering.

"The imperial edict has not yet been issued, and we don't know what will happen to the prince. What you have to do now is not to cause any more trouble to the prince's palace. Now, all go back to your own courtyard."

 “Princess, concubine…”

 “Princess…”

 The concubines started chattering again.

"If you want to stay, that's fine. I'll go out right now and have someone take you to the Tianlao to see the prince. How about that?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the concubines did not dare to hesitate any more and stood up and left one after another.

 He moved extremely quickly, fearing that someone would really take him to the prison.

 The room was finally empty.

Personal maid Magpie walked up to Princess An and said, "Princess, what are you going to do?"

 “Let’s go back.”

 Princess An's eyes darkened. Although she and Prince An were not actually husband and wife, they were known as husband and wife. If something happened to Prince An, it would not be easy for her, let alone her natal family.

 Magpie nodded respectfully, "I'll go get ready right now."

 Chin Mansion.

 The carriage slowly stopped.

 Princess An supported the magpie and got down from the carriage.

Not far away, a familiar figure came.

 “Big brother.”

 Princess An shouted. The other party had seen her a long time ago and was not surprised when she heard her voice.

Qin Shaobang stepped forward with a very calm tone.

 “Why are you back?”

 “King An…”

 “Let’s talk after you come in.”

Qin Shaobang interrupted Princess An and motioned for her to follow him into the mansion.

 “How are you doing, Madam?”

 Princess An pursed her lips and asked aloud.

 She is a concubine.

A few years ago, during the emperor's draft, the Qin family asked her to join the palace to assist Qin Guifei.

 But during the draft, Emperor Jianwen not only failed to select her, but also granted her a marriage to Prince An as his concubine.

 Even if she doesn't want to, no one can disobey the emperor's orders.

What's more, this matter is a good thing for the Qin family, so no one in the Qin family will refuse.

 Two months ago, Concubine Qin was ordered by Emperor Jianwen to examine herself in the palace. After hearing the news, the eldest lady fell ill immediately. It was not until recently that the eldest lady went to the palace to visit Concubine Qin and her health improved a lot.

Qin Shaobang said: "She is in good health, you don't have to worry."

 Entering the Qin Mansion, Qin Shaobang took Princess An to the main hall and sat down.

 “Don’t worry about King An’s affairs.”

"What's the meaning?"

 Princess An was stunned for a moment and asked quickly.

Qin Shaobang had many brothers and sisters. If this one hadn't married Prince An, he might not have remembered them clearly.

 Hence, he was somewhat patient with Princess An.

　　　“Eat and drink as you should, just don’t do unnecessary things.”

However, his patience only lasted a few words.

After Qin Shaobang finished speaking, he stood up and left without giving Princess An a chance to ask.

Looking at Qin Shaobang's leaving figure, Princess An pondered his words several times in her mind, but still couldn't figure out the situation.

 How will King An’s matter be handled?

Princess An frowned and stood up. Instead of leaving in a hurry, she looked at the housekeeper beside her.

 “Can I go see the eldest lady?”

"If Princess An has nothing to do, she should go back early."

 The butler returned with his head lowered.

The meaning of this sentence is obvious, so that she does not have to see the eldest lady.

 Princess An understood the meaning, "I understand. Magpie, let's go back."

 “Yes, Princess.”

Magpie stepped forward and supported Princess An, and the master and servant left the Qin Mansion.

 After returning to the palace, Princess An sent a message to all the courtyards, asking them to stay peacefully in the courtyards and not to do anything more.

Although Qin Shaobang's words were simple and without much explanation, Princess An still believed him.

Some concubines who did not listen to the advice even came to make trouble, and were punished by Princess An as a warning to others.

 Prince An’s Mansion became quiet.

For several days, it was still calm.

Sun Mansion.

 Lao Zhang gave Xiang Lingling acupuncture for the second time.

 The acupuncture was finished, but Xiang Lingling did not speak.

 The black cloth over her eyes moved, as if it was moving along with her eyelids.

　　　Seems to be confirming something.

 “I seem to really be able to see.”

 After a long time, Xiang Lingling tentatively spoke.

 Even though her words were firm, her tone was hesitant.

 She was worried that it would be another mistake.

 As before, Mr. Zhang put the lit candle in front of Xiang Lingling.

Xiang Lingling stepped back uneasily. This time her reaction to the candle was a little different from last time.

 Last time, it was because she felt the heat from the candle, but this time, it was because she could really see the light.

 The light of the candle was too close and was a bit dazzling, which was why she reacted like this.

 Lao Zhang nodded slightly, "It seems to be indeed effective. According to what I said before, three more times should be able to remove the blood congestion in Miss Xiang's brain."

Xiang Lingling couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Zhang, is it true? Great! I can see it right away!"

There was a bit of bitterness in that smile.
