Exclusive to you

"Spare my life? You'd better pray that my princess is safe and sound, otherwise, even if I grind you to dust, it will not relieve my hatred." It was too late for Leng Aotian to rush back after receiving the news. Long Si explained the whole process, especially focusing on Cui Xue's part.

"Your Highness, I was just explaining the rules to her based on the facts. The rules were passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors, not something I said myself. Even if she becomes a princess in the future, she should still regard her husband as her God, right? If Miss An becomes a princess in the future and doesn't even understand this, wouldn't she be criticized by others? Your Highness, I am devoted to the palace and you, and I have no intention of sowing discord." Cui Xue was beaten so badly but she still gritted her teeth and explained her loyalty to the palace and her accusations against An Yuanyuan in every word.

Leng Aotian did not respond to her words, but ordered Long Si to call everyone in the palace to the front yard. Even the six people in the backyard were called to the scene.

Concubine Yi was under house arrest when she heard that the prince had summoned her to the front yard. She thought the prince was interested in her and dressed up carefully. But when she arrived at the front yard, she realized that she had overthought.

"I called you to the front yard today. I have something to explain clearly all at once." With a wink, Long Si understood and dragged Cui Xue up. Cui Xue's mouth was already bloody and she seemed to want to speak, but her mouth was still bleeding. She couldn't open her mouth to speak.

"Listen carefully to what I am going to say next. An Yuanyuan, the eldest daughter of Prince An's Mansion, is my princess consort. Even if she is not married, she will be the princess of Prince Leng's Mansion. Only she will be the princess of Prince Leng's Mansion. In my place, the princess of Leng is the rule. Who would give you the face to think that I am on your side? If you make my princess unhappy again in the future, this will be the end. I have never cared about the affairs of the mansion, but this does not mean that I allow you to commit crimes. If such a thing happens again, I will kill you."

Cui Xue was already regretting her decision. She had thought that even if the prince protected An Yuanyuan, he would at least be reasonable. She didn't expect that the prince would blame her for everything after hearing what she had done. What the prince said just now was like a heavy blow to her heart. It turned out that in the prince's heart, An Yuanyuan was the rule.

The other concubines were so surprised that they were speechless. So, the prince had feelings for her, but his heart was only for one person. So the prince was not unattractive to women, but he only wanted to be close to that girl.

But at this time, although the women in the backyard felt a little pain in their hearts,

But hope was rekindled. As long as they knew that the prince was not indifferent to women, then they would have hope. It was just a matter of time.

Although Miss An is favored by the prince, she is only a 15-year-old girl. Girls of her age are always playful and the easiest to control.

Well, we'll see. Several women were still sad one second, and the next second they felt that they were in control of everything, and their eyes became firm.

……

An Yuanyuan at this time

"Didn't you say you would treat me to tea? You've already kidnapped me for an hour, and I can't even get water to drink, let alone tea. Is this how you treat guests?"

"Don't worry, there are more guests coming," the masked man said lightly to An Yuanyuan.

"Then let's chat. I'm bored staying here alone." An Yuanyuan thought that since she couldn't run away anyway, she might as well chat and see if she could get out of them something she wanted to know.

"Ms. An, can you chat with everyone?" The masked man's tone was steady and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Not really." She doesn't like dealing with elders.

...After waiting for a while, the masked man showed no intention to continue the conversation.

"You don't give me tea or chat with me, can you give me something to eat? I'm not picky about food." I ate little in the morning, and now I'm really hungry. When I'm hungry, I feel uncomfortable. I can't concentrate on anything. I feel inexplicably irritated.

"What? Prince Leng's Mansion doesn't give you food?" This woman is quite interesting. She clearly knows that she is the one who hurt her father and brother. Now that she is caught by me, she doesn't cry or make a fuss or get scared. She keeps asking me for food and drink and wants me to chat with her.

"That's not the case, it's just that there were some people who made me feel sick and affected my appetite, so I didn't eat enough."

Before the masked man could continue

An Yuanyuan did not continue to speak.

For some reason, I always feel that the masked man has less hostility. Now that I have been kidnapped by him, I have not suffered any harm, nor have I been tied up and detained like a hostage. It seems that I really came to his house for tea and a visit. What could it be that he told Long Si later that he wanted Long Aotian to bring something in exchange?

The atmosphere became quiet, and neither of them spoke, each with their own thoughts.

After a while, An Yuanyuan couldn't help but speak

"When will your guest arrive?"

Masked man: “…”

"What's your name? Or your last name?"

Masked man: “…”

"Were you the one who assassinated my father?"

Masked man: “…”

"You said that Leng Aotian should give me something in exchange for me. What did you mean? Silver? If it's silver, Leng Aotian doesn't need to pay for it. We have it in Prince An's Mansion.

Send me back and I'll give you some money, okay?"

Masked man: “…………”

"Why don't you speak? Don't you like to talk?"

Masked man: “…………”

Why does this woman ask so many questions? She's really noisy.

"Why do you keep wearing a mask at home? There are no outsiders around."

Masked man: “…You are not?”

"Ah? What?" The masked man suddenly spoke up, leaving An Yuanyuan unresponsive for a moment. After a moment's pause, she realized that he was replying to her words "no outsiders"

"Well~ I'm a hostage. I can't even decide my own life and death. Even if I see your dignity, I'm not a threat to you, right?" His height, voice, and aura all make people think that he should be a handsome guy. I wonder if he is the same type as Leng Aotian.

……

"Goo~"

An Yuanyuan held her stomach awkwardly, her eyes wandering around, not daring to look the masked man in the face. She couldn't control the signals her body was sending.

You knew you would be captured and not given food, so you should have eaten a lot in the morning at Prince Leng's mansion.

Suddenly I missed Leng Aotian so much. I wonder if he knows that I have been caught and whether he will come to save me.

The masked man looked at her and turned and walked out.

An Yuanyuan thought it was better for him to go out so as to save herself embarrassment.

Unexpectedly, the sound of the door opening was heard after a while.

"Why are you back again?" The masked man who had left came back into the door.

Looking down, the masked man was holding food in his hands.

Seeing the masked man put the food on the table, An Yuanyuan's eyes lit up, and she stood up excitedly and walked over quickly.

"Wow~ They have my favorite minced pork and eggplant." I remember that every time my father cooked minced pork and eggplant, he would eat two bowls of rice.

An Yuanyuan reached out to take the bowl and filled it with rice. After filling her and his bowl, she sat down and prepared to eat.

"Did I let you eat?" A cold voice sounded behind the mask.

"What...what do you mean? You won't give me any food?"

“I didn’t plan to treat you to a meal.”

"Then why did you take two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks? And you didn't say a word when I served the rice."

"I like to eat alone and I also use two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, is that not okay? As for serving rice...someone offers to serve rice to me, why should I say anything?"

"You..." An Yuanyuan wanted to point at his nose and scold him, but she didn't dare. There was no one worse than him.
