"Auntie..."

Gong Yao obviously didn't expect Nan Mo to refuse so bluntly.

She pursed her lips, her crescent eyes bright and innocent, "Auntie, the Crown Prince has a girl he likes, a very nice girl, can you help him?"

Nan Mo's eyes were deep, "How can I help?"

Gong Yao shook her head with a worried look on her face, "Yao'er doesn't know how the Imperial Aunt can help."

"If that's the case, then why do you want me to help?"

"Sister Ning said that if the Crown Prince wants to marry her as his Crown Princess, he can only ask the Emperor for help before Father will agree."

Gong Yao's voice was cautious and his eyes were full of expectation as he looked at Nan Mo.

"Sister Ning?" Nan Mo thought about asking Gou Zi directly, "Is there an official with the last name Ning in the capital?"

【No. 】

After a pause, Gouzi transmitted his voice: [Master, I just thoroughly checked and scanned the people around the crown prince and the little princess, and found a palace maid named Ning Dai. She is the head palace maid of the little princess and has been serving in Changle Palace.]

Gong Yao pursed her lips and whispered, "Aunt Huang, Sister Ning is so gentle and kind, can you help them?"

At this moment, Nan Mo's voice was not as serious as before, but a little softer and gentler. "It's okay for me to help, but I want to know, is it your brother the Crown Prince who asked you to ask me for help, or your gentle sister Ning who asked you to ask me for help?"

"Yao'er wanted to find the Imperial Aunt herself, but the Crown Prince only told her to keep an eye on the Liu family girl. After all, Yao'er doesn't know when she will see the Imperial Aunt again, so she is anxious to ask you to help her, the Crown Prince."

[Master, this Ning Dai is not simple. I am currently scanning everyone in Changle Palace. The little princess is so well protected that she doesn't know that Ning Dai is using her.]

Nan Mo did not respond to Gou Zi, but looked at Gong Yao and asked again, "Did your prince brother tell you in person that he likes Sister Ning?"

Gong Yao thought for a moment, "It seems not, but I know that the Crown Prince likes Sister Ning very much. Sister Ning said that the Crown Prince gave her a pearl hairpin."

Nan Mo was silent for a moment, "Don't worry about this matter, little princess. I will talk to your brother the crown prince later, okay?"

"Auntie Huang means to help my brother, the Crown Prince, right?"

"I need to find your brother the Crown Prince first to understand his thoughts, and then I can decide whether to help or not. Little Princess, do you understand?"

Gong Yao nodded repeatedly, "Yao'er understands."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly stared at Liu Yuan who was not far away, not daring to forget for a moment the task given to her by the prince.

At this time on the stage, Liu Hao had already begun to speak politely as the host, and the poetry reading began.

Nan Mo ignored their poetry and said to Gou Zi, "Send a message to Gong Chenyu and ask his people to check on Ning Dai here."

[Master, do you think this palace maid has any other secrets? ]

"If she was just a little palace maid who wanted to become a phoenix, how could she say that only I could change the emperor's intention? The fact that she said this shows that she is also very clear that the position of the Crown Princess has already been chosen, and I suspect..."

As she said this, she glanced at the prince on the nobleman's side.

"I suspect that the so-called mutual affection is just something Ning Dai deliberately showed in front of Gong Yao."

Gouzi was shocked: [The prince doesn't like Ning Dai, maybe he doesn't even know that Ning Dai covets the position of the crown princess! Is everything just a play directed and acted by Ning Dai herself? ]

After saying this, Gouzi was confused again: [If this is true, then what is her purpose? Why did she mention the master? ]

"As long as there is a purpose, there will be a chance for it to be exposed. There is no rush."

While Nan Mo and Gou Zi were communicating with their consciousness, the noble men and women were composing poems on the spot based on the first topic of the day.

There were several paintings hanging above the table. The one that had just been opened was a painting of red plum blossoms. Everyone was racking their brains to write a poem with this as the title.

Nan Mo had no interest in these things. Instead, she was curious about how Taifu Liu's family would change the original marriage contract of the eldest granddaughter to that of the second granddaughter.

Just as the poetry gathering was going on in an orderly manner, a maid rushed in, shouting anxiously, "Miss, something bad has happened, Miss..."

"How dignified!"

Liu Yuan shouted angrily, then slowly approached the maid, "What's the matter that makes you so panicked?"

The other noble ladies and gentlemen also looked at the maid at this moment.

The maid hesitated, as if this matter was difficult to talk about.

At this time, Liu Yuan's personal maid was surprised and asked, "Cui'er, aren't you taking care of the second young lady? Why are you here suddenly?"

"Second Miss...Second Miss..."

"What's wrong with my second sister?" Liu Yuan asked anxiously with a frown.

Nan Mo keenly noticed that when Liu Yuan looked at the maid, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, and then she sent a message to Gou Zi, "Sense if the second young lady of the Liu Mansion is nearby?"

The other noble ladies around Liu Yuan also began to whisper to each other, wondering if something had happened to the second young lady of the Liu family.

Liu Hao, the young master, walked over with the crown prince and the second prince with a slightly cold expression.

"Tsui Er, what's going on?"

Maid Cui Er looked at the crowd around her and said nervously, "Second Miss originally said that she was not feeling well and would not attend the poetry gathering today, but just now she suddenly said that she wanted to eat the roasted rabbit head from the restaurant next door. So I accompanied Second Miss to the restaurant, and then... Second Miss disappeared."

"Gone? How could it be gone?"

Liu Hao bowed to the Crown Prince and said, "I hope Your Highness will forgive me. My second sister..."

"Why do you say that, Mr. Liu? Finding someone is more important."

Afterwards, Liu Hao took a few people out of the third-floor hall and went to the restaurant next door to look for the second young lady of the Liu family. The maid also hurriedly led the way.

The poetry reading had to be suspended.

Liu Yuan bowed to the Crown Prince and said, "I am sorry to spoil your pleasure. I think my second sister might be hiding in some room and eating too much. Because she is not in good health, we usually ask her to be careful about what she eats. She must be greedy now."

Crown Prince Gong Jin didn't even glance at Liu Yuan, and only said, "Miss Liu doesn't seem to be worried about her own sister at all."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards Nan Mo.

The second prince followed closely behind his brother.

Liu Yuan's face flushed, and she said hurriedly, "Of course I am worried about my second sister, but I know her better. If you don't believe me, you can go with me to the restaurant next door to see if my second sister is hiding in the side room and eating greedily."

As she said this, she winked at her followers, and then they began to agree to go to the restaurant next door to look for someone.

Soon the other noblemen also started to join in the fun, and soon, led by Liu Yuan's followers, they went downstairs one after another to the restaurant next door.

Finally, only the prince's three siblings, Nan Mo and Liu Yuan were left in the hall.

The prince frowned, "Miss Liu, aren't you going to look for someone?"

"Of course I have to look for it, but Your Highness the Crown Prince just slandered me, so I would like to ask Your Highness the Crown Prince to come with me to witness whether I am lying or not?"

The prince was obviously very unhappy. Before he could speak, Nan Mo suddenly said, "Miss Liu is so eager to get the prince over. Is it really just to prove that what you said is true?"

Without waiting for Liu Yuan to explain, Nan Mo said, "Whether what you said is true or false is none of the Crown Prince's business."
