Nanny Li quickly agreed.

After pacifying the Imperial Concubine, Ren Jingzhi and Shen Yiran left the palace. They each had their own thoughts, but they did not hesitate at all.

As soon as they left the palace, they saw Lin Bei waiting quietly at the gate in a carriage. His calm figure was like a solid lighthouse, guiding them in the noisy world.

When Lin Bei's gaze fell on the two people slowly approaching, excitement instantly ignited in his eyes, and he hurriedly walked towards them.

"Master, are you feeling better? You really scared me to death." Lin Bei's voice was full of concern and worry, and his slightly trembling tone revealed his inner anxiety.

Ren Jingzhi nodded slightly, revealing a soothing smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Shen Yiran stood aside and said softly, "Lin Bei, this time it is really thanks to you that you found me in time. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. You have worked hard."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bei immediately bowed and said, "You are too kind, Princess. Protecting the master and the princess is my duty, and I dare not complain about the hard work. As long as the master and the princess are safe, I will be satisfied."

After saying this, he respectfully invited Ren Jingzhi and Shen Yiran to get on the carriage, raised the whip, and the wheels rolled towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the following days, the whole atmosphere was so quiet that it made people feel uneasy, as if it was the depression and silence before a storm. The air in the capital seemed to be filled with an indescribable tension.

After Yu Gongyu led his troops to the battle, undercurrents surged among various forces. Those with ulterior motives were making plans in secret. They were like poisonous snakes hiding in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to strike, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

That day, after Shen Yiran had lunch, she felt empty inside and had nothing to do in the seemingly calm but dangerous atmosphere.

Looking around, feeling the unusual silence, I felt a little worried. After thinking for a moment, I gently closed the door, as if to temporarily isolate myself from the outside world.

Then, she flashed into the space, trying to find a little peace and comfort in this mysterious place that belonged to her alone.

Next to the operating table, the blood bags presented by the ministers to Ice Face were quietly placed. Shen Yiran's eyes accidentally fell on Ren's father's blood bag, and somehow took Ren's father and Ren Jingzhi's blood for paternity testing.

It was just a spur of the moment thing, just for fun, but the moment he saw the results of the appraisal, Shen Yiran was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

The result clearly stated: There is no biological parent-child relationship. What on earth is going on? Shen Yiran felt her head buzzing. If such an astonishing secret were known to others, it would definitely bring her death.

She was filled with regret, and kept cursing herself for what had happened today. Curiosity really killed the cat. Her legs went weak and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Her mind began to frantically speculate on the reasons behind this shocking result.

Could it be that Ren Jingzhi was not the biological son of Prime Minister Ren’s wife, but an illegitimate child born to Prime Minister Ren and another woman, and then brought back to the mansion to be passed off as a biological son?

But she quickly shook her head and rejected the idea. Prime Minister Ren and his wife had always been in love and affection, and there had never been any rumors of any romantic affairs. Such speculation was really too far-fetched.

Then, the second guess emerged in Shen Yiran's mind: Could it be that the prime minister's wife was already pregnant before she married into the prime minister's mansion? But if so, the prime minister's wife clearly loved Prime Minister Ren, so how could she be pregnant with someone else's child?

Shen Yiran quickly denied this possibility. After all, the probability of this happening was too small.

Then, a third guess came up: Could it be that someone secretly swapped the baby? Perhaps Prime Minister Ren's political enemies had tampered with the baby's birth in order to attack him.

However, she soon felt that it was unlikely. Prime Minister Ren was in a high position of power and his palace was heavily guarded. How could someone succeed so easily?

Shen Yiran felt her mind was in a mess, she had no idea how to face this terrible result. She knew that once this secret was leaked, she would be doomed.

But that damn curiosity was like an invisible hand, constantly driving her to explore the result. She was eager to know who Ice Face's biological father was.

Just as Shen Yiran was racking her brains to think about the problem, there was a knock on the door, "Crown Princess, are you there?"

Shen Yiran was stunned. Wasn't this the voice of Jiang, the pigeon's mother? She looked up at the door of her bedroom. She saw Jiang standing there in a hurry, with her hair a little messy, obviously rushing all the way here.

Her face was full of anxiety, her eyes revealed a kind of urgency and worry. Her hands were tightly clasped together, as if she was nervous about what she was about to say.

Shen Yiran was slightly startled when she saw this scene. She put the paternity test report on the desk neatly, and then she flashed out of the space.

"Aunt, I'm here." Shen Yiran responded loudly while walking quickly towards the door. She stretched out her hand to open the door, with a faint smile on her face, and welcomed Jiang in.

Shen Yiran then noticed the wound on the back of her head and said hurriedly, "You are injured. Sit down quickly and I will treat your wound."

After saying that, he pushed Jiang to sit on the chair next to the tea table without saying anything. Shen Yiran quickly walked behind the screen and concentrated his mind to summon the medicine box from the space.

Soon, she came out again with the medicine box in her hand. She gently opened the medicine box and took out the disinfectant and clean gauze.

The movements were gentle and skillful. He first used a cotton ball dipped in disinfectant and carefully wiped around the pigeon mother's wound, fearing to hurt her. Every movement was full of concern and tenderness.

At this moment, Ge'er's mother was full of anxiety and entanglement. She knew that what she was going to tell the Crown Prince's wife was very important, and even concerned her own life.

But when he thought that if it weren't for the help of the Crown Prince's Consort, himself and Ge'er would have been in danger of their lives. Now they could live safely in Huaxiyuan, and all this was given by the Crown Prince's Consort, he had no reason not to tell her.

Mother Ge'er secretly gritted her teeth and decided to tell the whole story. After the wound was treated, Jiang Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "Princess, I have something important to tell you. Before I tell you, please ask Miss Yun'er to stay in the yard and don't let anyone overhear."

Shen Yiran frowned slightly, his heart full of doubts. What on earth was so mysterious that he had to be so cautious?

But when she saw Jiang's solemn expression, her heart tightened. She didn't ask any more questions, but called out to the door, "Yun'er."

After a while, Yun'er appeared at the door and asked respectfully, "Prince's Consort, what can I do for you?"

Shen Yiran nodded slightly and said, "Go to the yard and guard it. Don't let anyone get close."

Although Yun'er was a little confused, she immediately responded, "Yes, Crown Prince's Consort." After saying that, she turned around and went to the yard.

Shen Yiran then turned his gaze back to Jiang and asked softly, "Aunt, what is so urgent?"
