My husband married a concubine? I turned around and married the cold prince.

Chapter 174 Caught in the act

Gu Hui smiled and praised An Qingqian. When he saw An Qingqian, he thought of her previous experience in Lin'an Marquis Mansion, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

It's a pity that such a good girl was betrothed to a man like Xue Wanxian. He didn't know what was good for him and humiliated An Qingqian. Fortunately, they are divorced now.

"Uncle Gu, you're too kind. Qianqian is just an ordinary person." An Qingqian lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Since Uncle Gu and Dad have something to discuss, Qianqian will take her leave first."

"No need, Qianqian, I've already finished talking about the matter between you and Uncle Gu, you stay here for now, I still have something to talk to you about."

An Zhenyuan spoke and glanced at his daughter with a smile.

After seeing Gu Hui off, the two returned to An Zhenyuan's study at the same time, and Yingyi stayed outside the door on her own initiative.

"I wonder what daddy wants to say to his daughter?" An Qingqian looked at her father suspiciously.

"Qianqian, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, daddy will have to go to the border again, and you will be the only one left in the mansion." An Zhenyuan said, with the smile on his face fading a little.

On one side is the country, and on the other side is his own small family, and he can't let go of either one.

"My daughter knows. Dad, don't worry. I will take good care of myself and the General's Mansion." An Qingqian nodded solemnly.

"Yeah." An Zhenyuan nodded. He knew his daughter and knew she would take good care of everything here.

"Just now, even if you didn't come, I would have something to tell you." An Zhenyuan said, walked to the table and sat down, and motioned An Qingqian to sit down as well.

"Qianqian, do you still remember Liu Qian?"

"Remember, he is Liu Yiyi's father and a military doctor."

"Yesterday, my confidant sent me a message from the border that Liu Qian sneaked into my residence on New Year's Eve. He seemed to be looking for something and was caught red-handed."

"What are you looking for?" An Qingqian frowned. Liu Qian was a military doctor. What was he looking for in the general's room?

"Well, my men arrested him. He even argued that he was drunk and went to the wrong place. In order to avoid any more accidents, my men detained him temporarily and will talk to him after I return."

"Dad's subordinates did the right thing. Right now, Dad is not at the border, so it is indeed more convenient for him to do anything than usual. Only by keeping an eye on him can we ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Yes, I think so too. So, when I return, I will deal with Liu Qian immediately. You should also be careful here. Liu Yiyi is Liu Qian's daughter and knows some medical skills. You must be careful not to let her find any opportunity to attack you."

An Zhenyuan gave detailed instructions.

"Daddy is not in the capital. If you encounter any problems, don't be too tolerant. If you have a grudge, take revenge. As long as you have evidence, it's okay to kill the other party. The emperor will only scold you at most, but he won't really do anything to you.

If you encounter any problem that you can't solve, just go find Uncle Gu from before. He is my best friend and he will definitely help you.

You can also go to the virtuous king secretly. Daddy had a good relationship with him in the early years. For my sake, he will also help."

"Yes, Daddy, I know." An Qingqian felt a little sad when she heard that.

As parents, we always have endless worries for our children.

"However, nothing should happen for the time being. During this period of time, the emperor has been focusing on the Prime Minister's Mansion. He should take action against Lan Qingyuan's daughter. However, I don't know what happened to Lan Mingyue. Lan Qingyuan defended himself so well, but his daughter was poisoned."

"Dad, this is not the case. The poison in Lan Mingyue's body was given by His Royal Highness Prince Cheng. He probably needs the Prime Minister's support, or he needs the Prime Minister's help with something else. The Prime Minister is just taking advantage of the situation."

An Qingqian told An Zhenyuan everything she knew.

"So that's how it is." An Zhenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I was wondering why that old fox fell for it, it turns out it was intentional."

"But what is the purpose of becoming king?" An Zhenyuan tapped his fingers on the table.

"I don't know about that either." An Qingqian also knew nothing about this.

"If that's the case, then the old Taoist-looking man who went to the Prime Minister's Mansion two days ago must be King Cheng's man."

"It should be." An Qingqian frowned slightly.

"Perhaps, King Cheng's target is Lan Mingyue." An Zhenyuan quickly guessed King Cheng's thoughts.

"Lan Mingyue?" An Qingqian looked at An Zhenyuan suspiciously.

"Well, as I remember, King Cheng doesn't have a wife yet. He is a prince, and the fastest and most convenient way to gain power is to marry an important official. Therefore, his goal is most likely to marry Lan Mingyue as his princess."

At the beginning, there were several princes who wanted to secretly attack An Qingqian, but they were all blocked by An Zhenyuan.

An Zhenyuan has some experience in this area, so he thought of this level immediately.

After An Zhenyuan said this, An Qingqian suddenly realized this.

Before, at Fuguang Temple, she and Lan Mingyue happened to meet King Cheng.

At that time, she felt it was a bit strange. Why would a prince go to Fuguang Temple for no reason and meet them by chance?

Now it seems that perhaps, what they thought was an accidental encounter at the time was actually a careful plan by King Cheng.

"What Daddy said seems very possible." An Qingqian suddenly realized.

"The emperor is now in his prime, and each of his sons is a tough guy." An Zhenyuan sneered.

"The Emperor must have noticed his son's intentions, which is why he was ready to arrange a marriage for Lan Mingyue at the last palace banquet, but delayed it because of her poisoning."

"Now it depends on who has a better plan, the emperor or King Cheng."

"Oh, by the way, Dad, recently, Prince Yong and Xue Wanxian have been in contact again. Xue Wanxian goes out early and comes back late every day, and no one knows what he is busy with. My people followed him, but they didn't find anything."

"Prince Yong is also not a simple person."

Speaking of this person, An Zhenyuan thought of things from his previous life. Prince Yong could truly be considered an enemy of his An family.

He would never let Prince Yong go easily. If it weren't for his identity, he would have taken revenge long ago.

However, even if he was a prince, he would not let it go. It was just that this matter needed careful planning, and matters related to the royal family needed to be handled with extreme caution.

Once they are caught, they will be in big trouble.

"Qianqian, you've worked so hard. You shouldn't be like this." An Zhenyuan sighed, feeling a little sorry for his daughter.
