C40 (2/2)

Liu Mei said from the side, ”Big Sister Wan-Er, you can go back without worry. There are bamboo baskets and me here.”

Wan-Er understood what she meant. They were maidservants after all, so entering here was already a violation of the rules. She nodded with tears in her eyes, ”Take good care of the Miss.”

Liu Mei nodded.

Wan-Er glanced at Xuanyuan Yu with great reluctance before leaving with Willow.

Liu Mei and the bamboo basket had been serving Xuanyuan Yu the entire time.

Imperial Concubine Liu walked in. She saw Liu Wan Wan.

”Wan Wan, you haven't gone back yet?”

Liu Wan'er nodded, ”Martial Aunt, I —”

Imperial Concubine Liu stopped her, ”Wait. He said to Liu Mei and the bamboo basket, ”Take good care of Yu'er here.”

”Yes.” The two of them spoke at the same time.

Imperial Concubine Liu brought Liu Wan into the inner room.

Imperial Concubine Liu closed the door.

Liu Wan'er pulled her along. ”Aunt, what should I do?”

Imperial Concubine Liu smiled faintly. ”Wan Wan, so many people can't even become the emperor's concubine, why are you so repulsed?”

Liu Wan'er bit her lips. ”I don't know, I just don't like it.”

Imperial Concubine Liu smiled, ”But could it be that this is a kingdom under the heavens? If the Emperor wants you, there's nothing we can do. Unless you are like Yu'er, and Yu'er is like this now, I wonder if the empress dowager let her go. ”

Liu Wan'er's eyes widened as she said in disbelief, ”Yu'er has already become like this. Could it be that the empress dowager still doesn't intend to let her go?”

Imperial Concubine Liu shook her head helplessly, ”This is the helplessness of being born in a marquis' family.”

Liu Wan'er wanted to kneel down. ”Aunt, please, please, save me, I really don't want to be the emperor's concubine.”

Imperial Concubine Liu pulled her up. ”Last night, the emperor was telling me about you as well. I could tell that he really dotes on you …”

Liu Wan'er looked at Imperial Concubine Liu in disbelief: ”Aunt, how did you become like this …”

Imperial Concubine Liu laughed bitterly, ”After living in the imperial palace for so long, at least you'll have changed.”

Liu Wan Wan'er looked at her, and shook her head in disbelief. That youthful aunt, the aunt who wholeheartedly protected the Prime Minister's house, had already changed, becoming someone she didn't know. Liu Wan'er stood up. With a sneer, he said:

”Worse comes to worse, there will still be death. I don't believe that they would even spare the dead. ” She looked at Imperial Concubine Liu with disdain. She was no longer that aunt who had just entered the palace.

After which, he prepared to step out.

Imperial Concubine Liu held her back. He laughed.

Liu Wan'er looked at her with doubt in her eyes.

Imperial Concubine Liu pulled her down, ”Silly girl, I'm your aunt. How could I harm you?”

Liu Wan'er looked at her doubtfully. ”But just now —”

Imperial Concubine Liu smiled slightly, ”I am only testing you. If you are not determined, I will not let you go.” ”Perhaps you have the heart to be with the emperor, then we cannot beat up a mandarin duck, or perhaps you are shy and embarrassed to speak —”

Liu Wan'er hugged her in an instant. ”Auntie — I knew you didn't, I knew my aunt wouldn't change.”

Imperial Concubine Liu looked at her and said solemnly, ”Today, we will return to the Prime Minister's Estate. Go back now, and don't enter the palace again in the future. Besides, you are not interested in the son of the Southern King's estate. He has also come to visit you, and you are now past the Year of Peace. ”I'll write a letter to Matriarch He and have you two marry each other within this month.”

Liu Wan'er looked at her, her mouth wide enough to fit an egg. ”So fast.”

Imperial Concubine Liu straightened her body. He said in a calm tone, ”Listen carefully, this is the only chance you have left. If the Emperor issues an imperial edict, you won't have another chance. ”Also, you have to finish the marriage as quickly as possible and don't drag it out. If you're just engaged and haven't finished yet, I'm very worried for the emperor and won't let you off so easily.”

Liu Wan'er kneeled down. ”Wan Wan, thank you Auntie, but Auntie is alone in the palace, would the emperor harm you?”

Imperial Concubine Liu smiled faintly. ”Don't worry. No matter what, the emperor has to give the Prime Minister's estate face!”

Liu Wan'er nodded with all her might, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing a few times. ”Wan Wan, thank you Aunt.”

Imperial Concubine Liu pulled her up. ”Go and pursue your own happiness. Let the bamboo basket go with you. Her martial arts are relatively high.”

Liu Wan'er nodded. He then quickly walked out.

She looked at Liu Wan'er's silhouette. Imperial Concubine Liu's expression was calm and a little sad. She and him are destined to have no fate. Wan Wan, you must grasp this well.

Liu Wan and Zhu Wan returned to the Prime Minister's Estate and told the matriarch about this matter.

Matriarch He gave a cold snort. ”This empress dowager is going more and more overboard.” It seems that it is time to teach her a lesson. ”

”Sun mama went to inform the crown prince that we've already agreed to have him marry within seven days. As for the specifics, if he comes knocking on our door, I'll explain them clearly to him.”

Liu Wan'er felt all the cells in her body tense up: ”Seven days, she's going to get married. ”It was too sudden.”

The matriarch smiled at Liu Wan'er, ”Don't worry, as long as you have my Prime Minister's Palace, I will absolutely not let you suffer any grievances.”

Hearing the matriarch's words, Liu Wan Wan'er's eyes turned red as she nodded with all her might.

When the Crown Prince found out, he immediately rushed over. Ye Zichen found the matriarch.

When Matriarch He told him about it, the crown prince immediately understood.

After he returned to the mansion, he immediately put on his disguise and gave Liu Wan Wan'er gifts. These things were all prepared at the beginning, so in five days, the crown prince would come to marry Liu Wan Wan.

The wedding was rather grand, but at first there was no hint of it.
