In the side courtyard, when the maid fell to her knees with a thump, Chen Anlan knew that her plan had failed.

She didn't even know why she failed. Only the maid and the fifth prince around her knew what she was planning.

It is impossible for the fifth prince to betray her, because they both have the same goal, and the fifth prince wants her to succeed.

As for the maid beside me...

Chen Anlan just remembered her suspicions when she heard Lu Mingchen outside shouting angrily, "You bitch," and then "Bang," the maid with lowered eyebrows was kicked by Lu Mingchen to the pillar of the corridor.

After the maid fell to the ground, she curled up in pain and moaned in pain, but she couldn't get up.

Chen Anlan knew that she was wrong to suspect the maid, because her maid and she were on the same rope. If she betrayed her, the other party would not gain anything. On the contrary, if she helped her master well, she would be able to follow the rising tide. .

If the maid had not betrayed herself...

Chen Anlan was lying on the bed thinking, it can only be...

It can only be your own fate!

But she really couldn't compare to Zhao Wanjun's fate.

Thinking about it, Zhao Wanjun was indeed lucky. She was supposed to be an orphan in the countryside, but Zhao Yuan adopted her because of his love for her.

She was obviously a favorite candidate for the Crown Princess before, but something happened to her uncle, which implicated her grandfather, and she lost her last support.

Another example is now, she clearly gave up everything and gave it a try, but at the beginning, she had already lost, and lost completely.

If the prince was not aroused by the aphrodisiac in the house today and still walked out neatly dressed, and no one noticed this, then she would still have a chance to fight again.

But what happened was that her plan, which she thought was perfect, had already been discovered by others. Lu Mingchen didn't even step in.

In this way, she would never have a chance again.

Not only did Lu Mingchen have no chance, she failed from the beginning, and she was afraid that she would also be kicked out from the fifth prince's side.

Because this scene is enough to prove that she is useless.

As the fifth prince said, she is not even qualified to be a concubine.

Thinking like this, tears of humiliation and unwillingness fell from the corners of Chen Anlan's eyes.

Her body lying on the bed was stiff and cold. She smelled the aphrodisiac sandalwood in the room but was not moved at all.

Jiang Fu quickly led Mrs. Wu'anhou to the side courtyard of Ningguo Palace where guests could rest. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Lu Mingchen's expression was fierce, as if he wanted to kill someone.

Chen Anlan's maid huddled on the ground with a pale face.

Lu Mingchen's guards stopped in front of Lu Mingchen, probably because they were afraid that Lu Mingchen would make any drastic moves again.

It stands to reason that she is just a maid, so if she dies, she will die.

But this maid belongs to someone else's house, and Lu Mingchen is the prince. If this matter spreads out, it will be a bad thing, so the guards around him will definitely stop him.

Otherwise, if Lu Mingchen kicked her again, the maid might have to return to the west.

When Jiang Fu came over and saw Lu Mingchen like that, she quickly said, "Prince, this is the resting place for the female family members. Did the Prince go to the wrong place?"

As she said that, she pretended to be cold-faced and reprimanded Xiangren who was standing aside, "Xiangren, did you bring the prince here because your maid did something bad?"

Xiangren quickly knelt down to express his grievances, "Madam, you wrongly blamed me..."

Before Xiangren finished speaking, Lu Mingchen had already spoken, "It was this lowly servant who attracted Gu to come here, saying that the Crown Princess had severe abdominal pain."

At this time, Jiang Fu also covered her mouth with a handkerchief in a pretentious manner, "Ah, here, the Crown Princess... is obviously sitting well in the front yard!"

After Jiang Fu said this, she asked Mrs. Wu'anhou to certify her, "Sister Gu, you and I came from the front yard together. Tell the prince whether the princess is fine."

Mrs. Wu'an Hou is also the legitimate daughter of a noble family. Children who grew up in a noble family have long been accustomed to the dirty tricks of the back house, and they will know what the show is at a glance.

So he smiled and nodded, "Yes, my wife and I testify that the Crown Princess is indeed fine in the front hall. Don't worry, Prince."

Jiang Fu added, "If the prince is worried, go to the front yard and see for yourself!"

Jiang Fu's words were just to drive people away.

It is true that Lu Mingchen is not suitable to stay here anymore. No matter who is hidden inside, there are differences between men and women. It is more appropriate for a female family member like Jiang Fu to handle the affairs of the inner house.

What's more, the other party is originally coming for him, so it is best for him to avoid it at this time.

Although Jiang Fu was not older than the prince, Lu Mingchen had also looked down on Jiang Fu before.

But today is different from the past. Today's Jiang Fu is his Lu Mingchen's mother-in-law.

Moreover, Jiang Fu is still a third-rank official in the imperial court. Not to mention that Jiang Fu's temperament has indeed changed a lot now, but the things Jiang Fu has developed are enough to make Lu Mingchen completely change his view of her.

So after Jiang Fu finished speaking, Lu Mingchen raised his hand and said, "Then I'll trouble Madam about this."

Jiang Fu smiled and watched the prince leave.

As soon as Lu Mingchen turned around, Jiang Fu gave Nanny Sun a look and motioned her to go into the house and find out who was inside.

They didn't go in, lest they see anything inappropriate for children.

It would be better for Grandma Sun to go in, clean up the scene, and find someone out.

But as soon as Grandma Sun stepped into the house, Chen Anlan, who was originally lying on the bed, had already gotten up and came out.

Ever since she knew she had failed, Chen Anlan had been thinking of countermeasures in her mind. Until she heard the voices of Jiang Fu and Mrs. Wu Anhou, Chen Anlan finally made up her mind that she was going to abandon her car to protect the commander-in-chief...

Mrs. Wu'anhou was originally agreed upon by her and the fifth prince to help her bear witness to the prince.

Everyone in the capital knows that Mrs. Wu'anhou is a person who can't have any sand in her eyes. She sees things as they are, and she won't lie.

If she saw herself and the prince in the same room, she would definitely not hinder the overwhelming power of Duke Ning and remain silent.

He was originally their pawn, but now he has become the most taboo person.

So she had to pretend not to know anything about today's incident and let her personal maid take the blame, so that she wouldn't lose completely.

She could barely retain some dignity, the dignity she thought she had. Otherwise, she could not guarantee what Mrs. Wu Anhou would say after leaving Ningguo Duke's mansion.

So she stumbled out with a confused look on her face and whispered her maid's name, "Lanxiang, Lanxiang..."

Then she looked at Nanny Sun who was walking through the door. She looked confused and said, "Nanny..."

When Jiang Fu heard the noise, she could only walk over and smiled, "It turns out to be Miss Chen."

Chen Anlan still looked confused, not knowing what day it was today, "Madam..."

"Have you seen my maid Lanxiang?"

Her voice was hoarse and her face had an abnormal flush.

Grandma Sun quickly entered the house. While opening the window to let out the air, she also extinguished the burning incense.
