Chapter 778: Many Cheats 99
In fact, in the original world, Prince An's Mansion did not attend this banquet, and the reason was very simple. In the original world, Prince An died later, so he was not yet out of mourning and could not enter the palace to attend the banquet. Therefore, if something happened to Concubine Wang in the palace, it would naturally not affect Prince An's Mansion.

But this time, Prince An's Mansion entered the palace, and if the incident with Concubine Wang happened again, it is hard to say whether it would affect Prince An's Mansion.

After Princess Yonghe trembled as she reported the situation to the maid, she became even more frightened after hearing the maid's warning. After all, she was a native girl and knew the horror of imperial power. When she thought about the palace checking and finding out that the person she reported was fake, she wondered what kind of punishment she would receive, and even how the Prince An's Mansion would be punished, how could Princess Yonghe not be frightened?

She thought that there was no such procedure the last time she came. At most, she just registered, but there was no mention of verification. Three years ago, she was only twelve years old, still a child, and a nobody in the palace. Therefore, she was only brought to the palace once by the current Concubine Dowager An, then Princess An. Before that, she was too young and had never been brought into the palace, so she didn't know much about the things in the palace.

But her cousin, who came from the modern era and had no reverence for the imperial power, saw that Princess Yonghe was frightened and dared to comfort her, saying, "It's just to scare us. There are so many people entering the palace today, how can we have time to check them one by one."

The Princess of Yonghe County murmured uneasily, "I hope so."

Although she was uneasy, Princess Yonghe did not put her cousin down and not bring her into the palace just because of the reminder from the palace nanny, but continued to keep her.

Concubine Dowager An did not know that the person that County Lady Yonghe brought was her cousin. Because there were many maids and servants around the masters in the mansion, and Concubine Dowager An was old, she did not notice that the person that County Lady Yonghe brought was not her maid, but her cousin.

After all, she didn't know all the maids around Princess Yonghe, and this cousin of Princess Yonghe only tried to get close to Princess Yonghe in the past year - it was estimated that the time traveler came within this year - and during this year, Concubine An had been worshiping Buddha in the Buddhist temple, so naturally she didn't know this cousin of Princess Yonghe.

Of course, the main reason is that Princess Yonghe is an unknown person and no one cares what her cousin looks like. Besides, her maternal family has several branches and there are many cousins. Who can know them all?

That's why Concubine An didn't realize that the maidservant accompanying the Princess of Yonghe, whom she was taking care of, was not her real maidservant, but her cousin.

As for Princess An and her husband, they had no idea what was going on here.

Because the Prince An’s Mansion entered the palace today, it was Concubine Dowager An who brought Princess Yonghe, and then Princess An and her husband brought their son. So there were two teams, each in charge of its own team.

As for Linlang, she naturally would not enter the palace because she was pregnant. Only Prince Anjiang would enter the palace. Prince Anjiang naturally did not know whether the maidservant around his concubine's sister was real.

Because of this, these people didn't notice such a small mistake in their own house. So this gave Linlang an opportunity to act secretly. Of course, she didn't report the matter of Princess Yonghe to the palace. After all, what if the emperor was furious and really executed the entire An Wang Mansion? That was not what she wanted to see. So Linlang only reported this matter to Concubine An, Princess An, and Prince An, and see how they would deal with it. Princess Yonghe and her cousin were a pair of bombs. Linlang believed that Concubine An knew how to deal with this pair of bombs.

Therefore, Linlang's report was not intended to bring trouble to Prince An's Mansion, on the contrary, it was to eliminate potential dangers. If she did not mention it, Concubine An would not know that the maid that Princess Yonghe brought was not hers, and by the time the palace found out about Prince An's Mansion, it would be too late to deal with it when the incident happened.

Maybe Concubine Dowager An would not kill the two people, but she would definitely take action and would not just let it go, because Concubine Dowager An could not take any risks. After all, what if the emperor found out about Prince An's Mansion and discovered that the person Princess Yonghe brought was not her maid but her cousin? What would she do then?
Especially after Concubine Wang in the palace reported that something was wrong, Concubine Dowager An would probably deal with it in a more decisive way - maybe she wouldn't kill Princess Yonghe, but it was very likely that she would kill Princess Yonghe's cousin.

You know, after arriving at the palace, Princess Yonghe's cousin had to get off the carriage and stand beside Princess Yonghe as a maid to serve her. This would definitely be seen by a lot of people. If the emperor really wanted to investigate, he would easily find out that the person beside Princess Yonghe was not her maid, but her cousin. This would be a crime of deceiving the emperor.

So after Concubine An knew about this, she would definitely deal with it.

Soon, Concubine An and her group returned without knowing the situation.

Seeing that they came back, although they did not go, Linlang knew through the little bees that they were registered in the palace and were told that they would be checked. So she gave the letter she had written long ago to the doorman after disguising herself and asked them to pass it to Concubine An, saying that it was very important.

Seeing that the other party was serious and would just leave after throwing it away, the doorman did not dare to neglect the letter, because the other party's behavior was too strange, which made the letter seem very important. Otherwise, if Linlang humbly asked him to pass it, he might still put on airs and speak in an official tone, and would not pass it without benefits. After all, he was a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, and as the doorman of the prince's mansion, his status was naturally not low.

As he was overwhelmed by Linlang's behavior, after receiving the letter, Menzi immediately handed it to Concubine An who had just returned from the palace.

Concubine An was just taking off her court robes and preparing to wash up and go to bed when she suddenly received this letter. There was a message on the door saying that the messenger said the letter was very important and asked her to read it immediately.

Concubine Dowager An wondered what it might be, but out of caution, she still watched it. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry. In her life, she had experienced princes fighting for the throne and her husband favoring his concubine over his wife. The reason she was able to live to this day was because of her caution.

As a result, when Concubine An saw the letter, she was shocked and thought that she was right to be cautious. Otherwise, if she didn't see the letter and something went wrong, what would she do?
The letter said that the author was from the palace and had a good relationship with the people in Prince An's mansion in the past. It said that something had happened to Concubine Wang in the palace. Although people outside the palace didn't know about it yet, the palace had already begun to strictly investigate the situation of those who entered the palace tonight.

Then she said that because she had a good relationship with the people in Prince An's Mansion, she was paying attention to them at that time. As a result, she accidentally heard Princess Yonghe call her maid "cousin", and she was afraid that the person Princess Yonghe brought into the palace was not a maid, but her cousin. Now the palace will conduct a strict investigation. Once it is found that there is something wrong with the person brought into the palace by Prince An's Mansion, the emperor may suspect her of being the murderer of Concubine Wang. If His Majesty is furious and cleans up Prince An's Mansion, that would be bad.
