Chapter 1149 Dark Cinderella
Cindy didn't know that she was already on the verge of being suspected.
She was just one step away from getting the Queen's approval and marrying Prince Arthur, but the Queen fainted at such an inopportune moment.
But it didn't matter. After the two nights of dancing yesterday and tonight, she was already convinced that Prince Arthur was deeply in love with her. As long as she waited patiently until tomorrow night, the Queen would definitely announce again that she was the woman who could marry the prince.
But for now, she had to go back to that cannibalistic home and get through the day.
Today, Cindy didn't have the chance to leave first, so she could only keep urging the mouse coachman on the road to make the carriage go faster and faster.
Her carriage and Shi Li's were almost at the same time as hers when they arrived at the door of her house.
She had no time to change out of her luxurious dress, so she could only put on a grey coat and pretend to be sleepy before opening the door to welcome the mother and her two daughters who got off the carriage.
"You're going to bed so early?" Her mother passed by her and looked her up and down seriously.
Cindy lowered her head in panic, her heart beating faster, for fear that her flaw would be discovered.
"Y-yeah...I'm feeling a little sick."
Her mother stopped and stood in front of her, her eyes becoming increasingly sharp.
"Mom! I'm so tired. I want to drink the pumpkin porridge you made! Mom, mom!"
Shi Li walked up, took her mother's arm affectionately, and swayed back and forth like the original owner usually did, making her mother dizzy.
Cindy took the opportunity to retreat, and before leaving she turned back and secretly glanced at Shi Li.
Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Cindy leave safely.
This Cinderella was really careless. She hadn't had time to change the crystal shoes on her feet. If her mother took a few more glances at her, the flaw would definitely be exposed.
At this critical juncture of the story, Shi Li didn't want to create any complications.
What if Cindy was discovered by her mother, and her mother got furious with her, and then the butterfly effect brought Prince Arthur here early, then she wouldn't be able to escape.
Although she was drunk today, she heard from Celine on the way that the queen was very satisfied with Cindy and was almost about to announce that she would be the prince's wife.
So, just follow the plot and run away after tomorrow.
Shi Li made a secret decision.
But Shi Li didn't know that the plot was not so easy to follow.
The people who attended the ball left the palace one after another, but some people stayed quietly.
Mrs. Anna took Anne to a bedroom.
She pressed her daughter's shoulders and asked her to sit on the bed. She changed her gentle and elegant face and said seriously: "Listen carefully, today is your only chance. No matter what happens later, don't panic. Remember, as long as you marry Arthur smoothly, nothing else matters!"
Annie didn't understand why her mother said that. She lowered her head with a sad face and said, "But today..."
"No buts! Remember my words, stay here and wait!" Mrs. Anna stopped her from continuing and walked out without looking back.
She found Prince Arthur, who was worried about his mother, but the king did not allow him to visit his mother, so he had to wander in the garden.
Mrs. Anna took a deep breath, walked over with her usual elegant smile, and saluted Arthur.
"Your Majesty Arthur."
"Ah, Aunt Anna."
Arthur didn't know about her secret relationship with the king yet. He always respected her and asked with a smile: "Why haven't you left yet?"
These words made it difficult for Mrs. Anna to maintain the smile on her face.
Yes, as long as she did not become the owner of this palace, she would be driven away, even if she had a relationship with the king.
Thinking of this, he became more determined and offered Arthur the wine he had prepared.
"Your Highness must be very tired. Have a glass of wine to soothe your fatigue. The Queen specially asked me to prepare it for you."
"I'm fine, I'm just worried about my mother."
Arthur didn't doubt it at all, took the cup and drank it all.
Mrs. Anna looked at the empty wine glass and smiled implicitly. Next, she just had to lead Arthur, who had finished drinking, to the room where Anne was and then lock the door from the outside.
Everything went smoothly until she locked the door and turned around to see the king standing at the other end of the corridor looking at her.
"Your Majesty!" Lady Anna's face turned pale and she almost fell to her knees.
