Quick Transmigration: Help, The Male Leads Are All Broken!

Qin Li mentioned the novel again, causing Su Tang to sway. She hurriedly bowed and said, "This official will take her leave." Then, she turned and ran.

Her flustered appearance amused Qin Li for some reason. He hadn't laughed in a long time. Although his laughter was soft, the bedchamber was very quiet. Coupled with Su Tang's hasty exit, the people outside the hall heard it clearly.

Head Eunuch Zhou Wei saw the An Prince stumble out and hurriedly went up to greet him with a smile. "Greetings, Your Highness. Are you heading back to the mansion?"

Su Tang nodded with a bitter face, looking utterly aggrieved.

Zhou Wei had clearly heard the emperor's laughter just now. The An Prince could actually amuse the emperor. Perhaps the emperor had taken a liking to him. He remembered that the An Prince had just fainted and woken up, so he took the liberty of arranging for someone to escort him back.

His voice wasn't too loud or too soft, just enough for Qin Li to hear. If the emperor wasn't happy, he would definitely scold him. But after listening carefully for a while, there was no sound from inside the bedchamber. Zhou Wei's eyes lit up, and he immediately started making arrangements.

Su Tang thanked him, gave him a pouch of reward money, and obediently boarded the carriage.

She couldn't go back to the villa. That place was randomly arranged for her by the system after she left. It might seem like a beautiful and elegant place with pavilions and waterside towers, but the servants inside were all messed up. Now, she could only return to the An Prince's Mansion. She had previously reorganized the mansion. It might seem dilapidated on the surface, but it was actually heavily guarded. It was impossible for anyone to pry into their affairs.

Inside the An Prince's Mansion, everyone was on edge, especially the 'little Junzhu.' His mind had finally recovered, but his body was still weak. He was lying in bed when he heard that the An Prince had returned. He hurriedly got out of bed, but in his haste, he tripped and fell.

Su Tang happened to see this scene when she returned. She sighed and helped him up. "Brother, don't worry. Am I not standing here perfectly fine?"

Her voice was slow and gentle, no longer the clear, youthful voice she had in front of others. After completing so many missions, she barely had any impression of this cheap brother of hers. She only vaguely remembered that he had treated her very well when they were young.

"How can I not worry?" Qin Anjing's face was pale, but his dark eyes stared at her intently, not blinking. "Ever since I woke up, you've been holed up in that villa, refusing to see anyone. Yibao, tell me the truth, what are you planning? And that letter… what did it mean?"

She couldn't tell him the truth, but she couldn't say anything either. She could only say vaguely, "I was sick before and have been recuperating at the villa."

Her casual tone made it sound like it was just a minor illness. But if it was just a minor illness, why wouldn't she see anyone?

Qin Anjing didn't believe her words at all. Just as he was about to continue questioning her, the old princess arrived.

She was called the old princess, but she wasn't even forty years old yet. She was still beautiful and charming, but because of the things that had happened over the years, there was always a hint of sadness in her eyes.

The old princess had been pampered and sheltered since she was young. She was naive and didn't understand the ways of the world. Later, the An Prince treated her very well and never took any concubines. Because of this, when the An Prince's Mansion suddenly fell from grace, she couldn't cope at all. However, she was very good to her two children.

She treated them with sincerity, so Su Tang was also very willing to dote on her.

"Mother, why are you here?" She said with a smile and went forward to help her sit down.

She was too calm. Over the years, the old princess knew that her daughter was good at hiding her emotions. Outsiders said that her daughter was arrogant and domineering, but she knew her own daughter best. She wasn't arrogant, she was just forced to be that way.

"Yibao, tell Mother, did the emperor make things difficult for you when he went to the villa today?"

People who opposed the emperor in court had died one after another. No matter how naive the old princess was, she couldn't be so oblivious.

He was planning to make a move on the An Prince's Mansion!

Su Tang didn't hide anything and said directly, "It's nothing much. He just made me kneel for a while." She shrugged, looking indifferent. "Mother, you know, if he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't need to resort to such petty means."

She had wanted to reassure them, but Qin Li's methods were known throughout the court. Not only was the old princess not reassured, but she became even more worried. Especially when Qin Anjing looked at her with a grave expression and said in a deep voice, "Petty means are often the most torturous."

Su Tang choked. Great, no one in this family was on her side. Fortunately, someone from the palace arrived at this time.

The person who came from the palace wasn't Head Eunuch Zhou Wei, but another eunuch favored by the emperor. No one dared to neglect him.

Everyone in the An Prince's Mansion was on edge, thinking that the emperor could no longer hold back. Unexpectedly, he had sent someone to deliver some high-quality tonics.

This was even more shocking than if he had ordered the An Prince's Mansion to be raided.

Compared to everyone else's shock, Su Tang was very dismissive. She yawned and looked at the eunuch lazily, neither flattering nor respectful. "Alright, I understand. You can leave now."

The An Prince was used to being arrogant, and the servants were already accustomed to it. But this eunuch was different. He was a favored servant of the emperor. To everyone's surprise, not only was he not angry, but he smiled obsequiously. "Yes, Your Highness. It's getting late. This servant should take his leave. Please forgive me for disturbing your rest."

Everyone was dumbfounded by this scene. Just now, they thought they were all going to die, but now the situation had taken a turn for the better. They couldn't understand what was going on at all.

The old princess looked at her daughter with a grave expression. However, Su Tang suddenly acted coquettishly. "Mother, I'm tired. I want to sleep."

Her daughter rarely acted coquettishly. Upon hearing this, the old princess immediately forgot about everything else and said with concern, "Okay, okay. Our Yi…" She paused, realizing that she had addressed her wrongly, and quickly corrected herself, "Then our Bao'er should rest well."

Su Tang slept soundly that night, not knowing what time she woke up. She didn't move, just lazily lying in bed, arguing with the system. Suddenly, a little maid's voice sounded from outside.

"Your Highness, someone from the palace is here again."

This time, it was none other than Zhou Wei.

Zhou Wei's attitude wasn't as obsequious as the eunuch from yesterday, but his smiling face was even more unnerving.

Didn't they say that the emperor hated the An Prince's Mansion? Why did it seem like they were being showered with imperial favor?

They had just received tonics yesterday, and now Zhou Wei had personally brought an imperial physician.

Although the An Prince's Mansion had fallen from grace, it was still a prince's mansion. If they sent someone to the Imperial Hospital with their token, the hospital wouldn't dare to refuse. However, they would only send an unremarkable junior physician. But Zhou Wei was different. He had brought the head of the Imperial Hospital himself. Moreover, it seemed like the head physician was here to stay.

Su Tang had just said that she wasn't feeling well, and the emperor had sent the head physician over. Coupled with that ridiculous novel, the entire court's opinion began to shift.

Of course, this was all for later. Right now, Zhou Wei bowed respectfully to her and then explained the purpose of his visit.

"Your Highness, His Majesty said that you've rested for a night, so your health should have recovered somewhat. Therefore, you must continue what you didn't finish yesterday."

Su Tang understood every word he said, but she didn't understand what he meant.

"What didn't I finish yesterday?"

She had already knelt. Did she have to continue kneeling?

Zhou Wei smiled. "His Majesty said that you were disrespectful in the throne room and must return to the palace to relearn your manners."

The corner of Su Tang's mouth twitched. She was amused. She wasn't angry. Instead, she calmly accepted it. However, her eyes darted to the head physician behind her, and she narrowed her eyes. "What about the head physician?"

Zhou Wei continued to smile. "His Majesty is afraid that you might faint again, so he asked the head physician to accompany you at all times."

Su Tang: "..."

This was a brilliant move. It completely cut off her escape route of feigning illness.
