Chapter 654: Why So Happy?

ore letting him sit down. "Qingyang, tell your father the truth, how close are you to the Fifth Prince"Jiang Qingyang's heart skipped a beat, but she still said calmly on the surface, "Father, what ar...After An Xuetang finished speaking, she got up and knocked on the door. Ning'er immediately jumped over.

Ning'er gave a thoughtful glance at Shuangshuang, who remained silent with her head bowed. Then, she wrapped her arms around An Xue Tang's waist and leaped over the wall.

Shou'er looked at her, "Your Highness, what should we do with this little girl"

"Go see Consort Liu first. Later, I'll try to contact Ajing and ask him to help smuggle this girl out."

Ninger and Shouer looked at each other, it seemed that their princess had already made a decision about this girl's stay or leave.

Two maidservants not far away saw that An Xuetang had finally come out. They hurriedly ran over and carefully glanced at the haunted place, then bowed to An Xuetang:

"The Princess of Beijiang, Consort Liu is waiting for you. Please come with the maids."

"Let's go," An Xuetang said with a slight nod.

Upon hearing that An Xue Tang was finally willing to leave, the two palace maids instantly revealed surprise. The two hurried to lead the way.

Liu's no longer lives in the former small palace; her current residence is extremely grand.

The emperor did not treat her poorly, after all. There were many maidservants and eunuchs attending to her. As soon as An Xuetang entered this large courtyard, she noticed it.

Seeing An Xue Tang finally arrive, Liu shi's expression was somewhat unpleasant. "Just a few steps away, why couldn't you come over first Even if you were hungry, after you came here, I have everything here. Why did you have to cook in that desolate place"

Now that Lady Liu has become the noble consort, her tone of voice has changed. She is becoming more and more aggressive, and when she speaks to An Xue Tang, there is no longer that carefulness.

An Xue Tang slightly raised her eyebrows, first according to the rules to Liu shi performed a courtesy, "Greetings, Noble Consort Liu."

Liu was taken aback by An Xuetang's well-mannered appearance, but she quickly recovered and coughed a few times awkwardly, looking at the group of palace maids, "You guys go out first."

The palace maids all cried out "Yes," and then left. An Xue Tang glanced at Ning'er and Shou'er, who also left.

After the door closed, Liu Lan looked at An Xue Tang, "A Tang, in front of me, you don't have to act like that."

An Xuetang's face was expressionless. "Liu Guifei's current status is different from before. No matter where she is, she should pay attention to her words and deeds, and always remember that I have nothing to do with her."

Liu Lan's brows furrowed slightly, "Let's not talk about this for now. I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you."

"Oh Lady Liu wants to speak with me I recall having sent you skincare products from the palace, enough to last you a good while. And rest assured, if you ever need more in the future, I will still have them delivered to you."

Liu Lan shook her head. "A Tang, Mother doesn't want to talk about this kind of thing with you."

Hearing Liu Lan still calling herself "her mother," An Xue Tang's heart instantly had a little bit of guard. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Liu Lan, saying:

"What you're saying right now, Noble Consort Liu, is unbecoming of your position. Remember, you are currently Lady Liu, the Noble Consort within the palace walls, and I am your daughter-in-law in name. Lady Liu Yun who gave birth to An Xue Tang is dead."

Liu Lan heard An Xue Tang speak these words so coldly, her brows furrowed. "A Tang, why are you so eager to draw a line between us Don't you look down on your mother's position as a noble concubine"

"With a chuckle, An Xuetang said, "How could that be You are the esteemed Consort, and I, seeing you now, must still pay my respects. Let alone me, even An Xuetang's father, An Nanshan, and his entire family would have to perform the ritual of kneeling and bowing when they see you."

When mentioning Annanlin, Liu Lan's expression appeared a little unnatural. In fact, she still had feelings for Annanlin in her heart.

Annan Lin is a good-looking person and very gentle when facing her. Especially when doing that kind of thing, she is also very gentle. The Emperor can't compare to Annan Lin in this regard at all.

To put it simply, An Nanlin can bring her immense joy in certain aspects, unlike the Emperor who is no longer capable of fulfilling some things.

She stayed by the emperor's side, to be frank, only for the position of imperial consort. Since arriving in the capital, she had realized that in this place, without power, survival was impossible.

So now she only wants power, she just needs power.

An Xuetang was too lazy to guess what Liu Lan was thinking that could make her look so conflicted.

She just asked, "Though you are in the palace, you should still be careful. Liu Yan'er has a good relationship with the empress and often visits the palace. You don't want to cause trouble for yourself, so just be obedient within the palace."

I just saw that the palace maids and eunuchs in this palace all had more or less injuries. An Xue Tang guessed that Liu Lan must have abused these people.

Liu Lan didn't understand An Xue Tang's veiled meaning. She frowned now, "What does A Tang mean by that"

"Are all these wounds on the people in your palace yours doing"

"..."

Upon hearing An Xuetang's question, Liu Lan's face flushed with embarrassment. "It's... those two vile women who told you They dare to slander their mistress, they deserve death!"

"!"

An Xuetang truly hadn't expected Liu Lan to become like this. Her brow furrowed, and she spoke without any emotional fluctuation:

It's not just idle chatter. Anyone with eyes can see that you lot in the palace walk funny. You dare say you didn't hit them

Liu Lan didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did. At this moment, she let out a cold snort:

They made a mistake, so they naturally have to be punished. Otherwise, they'll think I, their master, am easy to bully. If I don't punish them, they'll all climb over me in the future.

"... "

An Xuetang couldn't understand it at all, how she could come up with such an idea. But this was Liu Lan's own choice after all. Anyway, since she bullied others like this, she would sooner or later face the consequences.

Thinking about this, An Xuetang simply said, "Your approach will inevitably make people disgusted. You should understand the principle that extremes lead to their opposites. Don't push them to the point of madness, or they will all betray you in the end. By then, you'll regret everything."

After saying that, An Xuetang tapped the table, "Forget it, these things are up to you, handle them yourself. Now then, tell me, why did you ask me here today"

Liu Lan didn't know what she was thinking, her face darkened, and she looked down at An Xue Tang's belly. "A Tang, tell your mother the truth, is there...the child of the King of Beijang in your belly"

"!" An Xuetang frowned. "Why do you ask that"

"You said just now that your stomach was so hungry you couldn't move, and it made me wonder if perhaps there is already a child of the Northern Border King growing in your belly. When I carried you, it was the same - I was always extremely hungry."

An Xuetang helplessly shrugged, "No, we haven't planned on having children yet."

Hearing An Xue Tang say this, Liu Lan instantly felt relieved, a hint of relief appearing on her face.

Such a her made An Xue Tang's brows furrow, "I don't want children, you seem very happy"

Liu Lan came to her senses and, at this point, she had nothing to deny. Hearing An Xue Tang ask like this, she admitted directly, "Yes, it's best that you don't have children now. Otherwise, if you wanted to leave King of Beijang, it would be much harder."
