On the second day after the Autumn Banquet, the National Master of Nanyue and the Second Prince of Nanyue went to the palace.

The next day, the Duke of Qing's legitimate daughter was named Princess Changping and married to the second prince of Nanyue. The imperial edict for marriage to Nanyue was delivered to the Duke of Qing's mansion.

Upon hearing the news, the prince had a huge tantrum in the East Palace.

Prince Chen's Palace.

Due to a series of events, the gloomy atmosphere in the palace that had lasted for a long time seemed to be slightly brightened up.

"Your Majesty, the imperial edict has arrived at the Duke of Qing's mansion."

Mu Heng held fish food in his hand and casually scattered a handful of food to the black fish in the pond. The black fish gathered around the fish food and fought frantically for the food.

"Okay, I got it. What happened to the person who was watching Beiyang Palace?" He lowered his eyebrows, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes, but there was also a hint of coldness.

He has more important things to do today.

"I've sent word from the palace that Prince Beiyang left a quarter of an hour ago. Prince Beiyang did not go out today."

Mu Heng put down the fish food in his hand and patted the crumbs on his hands: "Follow me to meet our Beiyang Prince."

Beiyang Palace.

The palace urgently summoned King Beiyang into the palace.

As soon as Prince Beiyang left the palace, Huaiyuan dismissed all the attendants around him. The masters who were hiding quietly in various places in Prince Beiyang's palace secretly guarded the palace so tightly that not even a fly dared to get in.

Sophora japonica garden.

Su Jingning looked at the person in front of him who had a pale face and was slightly raising his eyebrows to make him happy. He suppressed his worry and forced a smile.

"Don't worry, the ice room can suppress the blood parasite. I'll just stay in there for a day." Gu Yan'an lowered his eyes to look at the person with a worried look on his face, and comforted her in a gentle voice, then put the warm Bodhi Buddha necklace on his wrist on her hand.

Su Jingning nodded slowly: "Well, go in, I'll be outside."

"it is good."

Gu Yan'an reached out and gently rubbed the top of her head, then turned around and pressed the mechanism on the wall.

The ice room slowly opened, and a bone-chilling chill blew in my face, pouring into my clothes, as if I were in the dead of winter.

Su Jingning watched his figure disappear into the secret passage. The door of the ice room slowly closed. Her face was cold. She stood there motionless for an unknown period of time.

"Knock Knock-"

After a long time, she was awakened by the knock on the door.

She moved her numb legs and feet and pushed open the study door.

The sky had darkened and a full moon was hanging in the sky, but she couldn't muster the heart to look at it.

"What's the matter?" she asked Mo You.

Mo You knew that he would be guarding outside Huai Garden today. He knew the seriousness of the matter. If it wasn't an emergency, he would not rashly come in.

"Princess, the Prince is outside the palace and said he has something to see the master."

"Prince Chen? What's the matter?" Su Jingning frowned. Why would Prince Chen suddenly want to see A Yan?

"He took the royal decree and said that he had found a clue about the assassination of the Queen Mother in the Royal Zen Temple and wanted to tell the master in person. He seemed to have checked the master's whereabouts and knew that it was not the master who left the city to go to the Imperial Camp today. I told him that the master left the city in the evening and stayed in the Imperial Camp tonight. But he didn't believe it and was still waiting at the door."

The case of the assassination of the Empress Dowager at the Royal Zen Temple was handed over to the Imperial Guards. The murderer disappeared and there is still no clue. Mo You and Su Jingning both know who did it, but the murderer will never be caught.

Prince Chen suddenly came to the door with another clue.

Su Jingning's expression was slightly tense. He asked Mo You:

"Who is the person who came to the palace to invite father to come in?"

Mo You was stunned for a moment: "It's the old man beside His Majesty, Eunuch Bi."

Not Shengfu? Su Jingning's almond eyes were slightly cold. His Majesty knew that today was the sixteenth day and Ayan's blood parasite might break out, so he would definitely not let the prince enter the palace at this time.

"Is there something wrong with Eunuch Bi?" All along, the person who sent gifts and announced the imperial decrees in the palace was either Eunuch Shengfu or Eunuch Bi, so the prince and the people in the palace didn't think there was anything wrong.

Su Jingning nodded: "Not sure yet, immediately send a skilled shadow guard to ask father to return home as soon as possible."

"Prince Chen's biological mother knows Ah Yan's identity. Prince Chen should know something, but he is not sure, so he should come here to verify it today. You ask Uncle Liu to go and tell him first that the prince and the prince are not at home, and the prince's wife has a cold and cannot see guests. Please ask him to go back."

Mo You looked solemn, lowered his eyes and replied, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

Mo You hurried out of the locust garden, and Su Jingning turned and entered the main house.

"Yunqing, bring me some makeup."

Outside Beiyang Palace.

Prince Chen stood outside the Beiyang Palace with his hands down, his expression somewhat sad and angry, and he lowered his posture. Seeing that the people around him stopped to watch the show, his voice was choked with sobs:

"I have asked people to inquire about it. Prince Yan'an is in the palace today. The Queen Mother was assassinated and has been unable to get out of bed. The murderer is still at large. I have clues in my hands, but I am just thinking about how to help. Why is Prince Yan'an so embarrassed? Or is it that the Beiyang Palace is so valuable now that I can't even enter the gate of the palace."

The onlookers knew something about what Prince Chen had experienced in the past six months. He used to be a romantic, gentle man, and a famous talent. After the death of Concubine Shu, he resigned from his official position. It was said that he also cured the flood in Anzhou, and the people had a good impression of him.

Now, as a prince, he lowered his status so much in front of Beiyang Palace to ask for an audience with the Prince of Beiyang, which won him some sympathy from the people around him.

Seeing the people around him change their expressions, Old Liu still looked polite and bowed to Prince Chen: "Your Majesty, please don't be an old servant. The prince has really gone to the Imperial Camp and has not returned. The prince has entered the palace and is not in the mansion. The prince's wife is already weak and has caught a cold. She is really unable to see guests. The prince should go back."

Prince Chen glanced at him and still showed no intention of leaving.

"Please come out and see me, Prince Yan'an!" He shouted towards the gate of the mansion.

The smile on Old Liu's face faded a little. Could it be that the Prince of Chen has gone crazy today, coming to the palace and making such a fuss?

"Your Majesty..."

Just as he was about to continue his persuasion, he was interrupted by a cold female voice coming from the mansion.

"Who is making a noise in front of the palace?"

Prince Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman wearing a moon-white and silver fox fur cloak with dark embroidery and a Roland brocade skirt slowly coming out of the mansion with several servants.
