Chapter 785: Bribed a Eunuch Again

After An You left, the general’s residence quieted down. That intense scorching atmosphere also gradually calmed down like it was cooling off.

The past peace seemed to be restored. After going through such crazed hysteria, once it suddenly became so peaceful, Ning Shu finally understood what Wei Lingxian desired the most in her heart.

It was this peace.

Princess Mingzhu’s appearance was like a hurricane. Everything that she touched was destroyed.

After An Lingyun recovered, Ning Shu had her continue to manage the residence. An Lingyun’s personality became much more settled down than before. Sometimes she would stare into s.p.a.ce thinking about something. She was no longer as lively as she used to be.

Some things required personal pain to understand. Ning Shu only made a comparison, but it made An Lingyun’s att.i.tude change. Lately, she hadn’t mentioned Princess Mingzhu at all.

Although the old madame recovered from her illness, she was still very tired.

At the same time, Ning Shu didn’t think this matter would be over just like this. However, she didn’t know if the event in which Princess Mingzhu ran to the battlefield would still occur since she was currently in the tightly guarded palace.

Meanwhile, when Princess Mingzhu heard that An You had gone on a campaign, she froze in shock. Why? Why did An You head to the battlefield?

Why didn’t he come to save her? Princess Mingzhu was very hurt and knelt on the praying mat crying. She curled up in a circle in a very pitiful manner.

The nearby maids ignored her. Their faces contained disdain.

As Princess Mingzhu cried, she gradually became more and more resolved and made a decision, which was to head to the battlefield to find An You.

She couldn’t accept this separation. Even if she was going to die, she wanted to die by An You’s side.

Ning Shu, who was in the general’s residence, got news that Princess Mingzhu had snuck out of the palace. She had bribed a eunuch and disguised herself as a young eunuch to get out.

Ning Shu didn’t even know what to say about this. How was it so easy to get out of the palace? Everything was for the sake of the storyline. Any incongruencies in logic were negligible.

Furthermore, Princess Mingzhu even left a letter saying that she was going to go find An You and asking the empress dowager for forgiveness.

When the old madame heard about this, she almost fainted. It was absurd! She had already gotten her son to give up on Princess Mingzhu, but this woman kept sticking to her son like a leech.

Ning Shu took advantage of the time before the empress dowager punished them to take the initiative to head into the palace. She said to the empress dowager that she was willing to be divorced to allow An You and Princess Mingzhu to be together.

In addition, she explained that she never thought Princess Mingzhu would do this.

Originally the empress dowager was still angry since Princess Mingzhu actually slipped out under her watch and ran to the battlefield to look for a general. To say that they still didn’t have any involvement would be treating her as blind! Furthermore, she had already said that she would arrange a marriage for Mingzhu as soon as her mourning period was over, but now Mingzhu had actually ran off with a man! It was seriously a slap on her face.

She was originally still very angry when she saw Ning Shu, but the other party had offered a divorce herself, which truly surprised her.

This was undoubtedly a good idea. Princess Mingzhu had run off with a man and already had no reputation left. However, allowing an imperial princess to be a mistress was obviously not possible. Now that the first rank general’s wife had offered to step down herself, it was undoubtedly the best way to resolve this situation.

The empress dowager shook her head and said, “You’re General An’s main wife and original match. How can you divorce just like this?”

Ning Shu nodded. She wasn’t surprised by this outcome because she knew that the empress dowager wouldn’t dare to do this. If this precedent was started, how was the empress dowager supposed to face the t.i.tled women and n.o.blewomen of the court?

Moreover, if General An’s main wife took the initiative to leave, it’d seem like the imperial family had forced her to do so even though Wei Lingxian hadn’t done anything wrong.

In this matter, no matter how one looked at it, it was Princess Mingzhu that was being unreasonable.

Ning Shu returned to the general’s residence, then sighed in relief. Finally, the general’s residence wasn’t in danger anymore. This was completely Princess Mingzhu’s own doings.
