The next day, East Palace.

Xie Yun came out of the morning court and stood as cold as ice while the maid changed his clothes.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, how do you unlock this mechanism? I've been thinking about it all night and I can't figure it out!"

The sound of milky milk came from outside the dormitory, and Xie Yun's legs were hugged tightly.

His face darkened a bit, and his dark green eyes showed the anger that was about to burst out.

The maid was so frightened that she quickly retreated.

"It's obvious that the Queen Mother likes you, why do you always keep her in my East Palace?" Xie Yun gritted his teeth and used a lot of force to endure the urge to kick Xie Shu away.

"Your Highness, why are you unhappy? Did you get scolded again when you went to court?" Xie Shu blinked and insisted on holding Xie Yun's legs and not letting go.

Xie Yun lowered his eyes and saw that the little baby's big black and white eyes were clear and transparent, sincere and kind. They were so different from her mother's gloomy eyes.

His heart softened, he squatted down, took the machine lock in Xie Shu's hand, and moved his slender fingers quickly.

After a while, the lock was opened, and a smiling wooden head suddenly popped out of the lock. It looked extremely ugly.

"Wow!" Xie Shu was startled at first, then laughed in surprise and couldn't put it down, holding the clown man in his hands.

The corners of Xie Yun's lips raised slightly, and he stared at Xie Shu in a slightly absent-minded manner, as if he saw a certain memory worth recalling through him.

Then, he stretched out his hand to rub the top of Xie Shu's hair and said softly: "Why don't you miss your mother?"

"Mom said she has very important things to do, even more important than Shu'er. Shu'er hopes that Mom will be happy and can't bother Mom!"

Xie Shu was immersed in piecing together the unlocked mechanism lock, completely unaware of Xie Yun's shocked and dazed expression.

Xie Yun murmured: "Your mother has something more important than you, wouldn't you be unhappy?"

"No!" Xie Shu said solemnly like a little adult, "In my heart, mother is the most important. If she is happy, I will be happy!"

"..."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."

There were guards outside the palace who came to report in a hurry. They ran a little hastily along the way, panting, and couldn't say a word, so Xie Yun walked out unhappily.

"What's the matter?"

"The princess of the county..."

As soon as the guard left the door, he saw that Xie Yun looked wrong. His mind was buzzing and he suddenly thought of something. He immediately changed his words and said, "It's the former Princess of Nanling County. Mrs. Jiang is asking for an audience outside the palace!"

Xie Yun was secretly surprised, Jiang Nan is here?

"Does she want to have a child?" Xie Yun coughed lightly, a ray of light flashed in his eyes, and ordered in a deep voice, "Invite people in to see me."

After receiving the order, the guard did not leave and said hesitantly: "Mrs. Jiang said she would like to greet His Highness the Crown Prince, but it is Zong Yue she wants to see."

"???" Xie Yun's face froze.

"..."

Zong Yue's legs softened when his name was called, and he almost fell to the ground. He was so shocked that he stuttered: "You want... to see me? Why... why?"

"I don't know."

"It's sunny outside, please invite people in first!" Zong Yue was frightened, but his face was filled with an intriguing smile.

When Xie Yun saw him, the fire in his heart was extremely strong, his eyes were calm, and he asked: "When did you become friends with Jiang Nan?"

"No!" Zong Yue said desperately, "Maybe she just doesn't want to trouble His Highness. Does Your Highness want to go see her?"

"I don't see you! I don't want to see you! She's not looking for me, so why should I see her? How big of a face does she have, making me rush to see her?" Xie Yun had no sense at all and couldn't help but roar.

"Then I'll go see you now and find out what's going on? Come back and report to His Highness!" Zong Yue pursed his lips, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes, and wanted to leave with cheerful steps.

"Wait!"

"..."

Listening to Xie Yun's calm voice as usual, Zong Yue's heart felt chilly.

Under the leadership of the guards, Jiang Nan and Sheng Ning were led to the west study, which was in a cool place because there was no sunlight.

Open the window sill and feel the gentle breeze, refreshing your whole body.

Jiang Nan stood in a daze, thinking of the years when she was a ghost, almost all of which she was trapped in the East Palace, seeing all the prosperity, but unable to feel a single plant or tree.

"Didn't you make an appointment with the prince? Why did you change your sect? How much wealth can you lend us with just one guard?" Sheng Ning couldn't bear to think about how Zong Yue was cheated of all his money.

"I fell out with the prince last night, he probably won't see me." Jiang Nan replied dully.

Sheng Ning was so angry that he poked Jiang Nan on the head and scolded: "Why are you so petty? Do you have a sense of the overall situation? Are you afraid that he will send the child back to you in anger?"

"Then I'll put him in Prince Qin's Mansion. It'll be just as safe." Jiang Nan frowned, with a stubborn look on her face, "Didn't you say so? He is my enemy, and I don't want to have anything to do with my enemy!"

Sheng Ning was stunned. It was not a good sign for a woman to be emotionally affected by a man.

Zong Yue walked in from the door of the house. In order to avoid being gossiped by others, he deliberately left the door open. The gloating he felt when he faced Xie Yun just now was gone.

"I wonder why Madam is looking for me?" Zong Yue asked urgently, looking flustered and looking around wildly.

Jiang Nan nodded slightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he knows where my mother's grave is. I think he knows, and you must also know. I wonder if it would be inconvenient for you to take me to worship?"

Hearing this, Zong Yue swallowed, took a step back slightly, and refused: "It's inconvenient, I don't know."

"How could it be? You are the personal bodyguard of His Highness the Crown Prince and have always been inseparable." Jiang Nan looked surprised, not expecting this outcome at all.

"It's not like we are always inseparable. For example, when we returned to Beijing from Nanling, I have no idea what happened between Your Highness and you during those days!" Zong Yue caused trouble to the east.

This statement is highly suspected of deliberately misleading people.

"..." Jiang Nan blushed.

Sheng Ning glanced at Jiang Nan with an inquiring gaze.

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Nan obviously didn't believe it, and said with a wry smile: "Why do you joke about this kind of thing? Is His Royal Highness the only one who knows? Did he dig a hole and bury it himself when he collected my mother's body? How is this possible?"

Zong Yue lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Okay, I understand. His Highness is just talking nonsense and making fun of this kind of thing?"

"..." Zong Yue lowered his eyes and did not answer.

Jiang Nan was so angry that she wanted to leave immediately. She was so anxious that she believed that Xie Yun knew where her mother's grave was!

How is this possible without any relatives or connections?

As soon as she opened her legs, Sheng Ning pulled her back. She regained her composure and was secretly relieved.

Sheng Ning squeezed out a smile and said softly: "It doesn't matter, you saved Dingdong's life. We are very grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts. We will prepare a small amount of wine in Yuhua Lane in the evening to express our gratitude to you and ask you to show your respect!"

His tone was polite and respectful, but Zong Yue broke into a cold sweat.

"If you don't come tonight, I will come tomorrow to invite you, and I will come every day until Lord Zongyue appreciates it!" Jiang Nan said goodbye with a smile.

After the person left, a figure walked out from the screen partition and stood in the shadow with an indistinguishable expression.

Zong Yue let out a long sigh and said with pride: "Your Highness, this is a beauty trap. I don't dare to go to the Hongmen Banquet tonight! Only you can bear it!"

Xie Yun snorted coldly: "Get out."
