The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Xie Yu'an was slightly stunned, then knelt on the ground, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, I and Fourth Miss Pan only knew each other before, and we never had any private feelings for each other. Please understand clearly, Your Highness."

Xie Yu'an certainly also knew the three imperial edicts issued by the emperor. These three imperial edicts could be said to have left the court officials confused.

It can be said that the emperor caught her off guard. The concubine originally chosen for the prince was suddenly moved to his own backyard. The eldest Miss Pan from the Duke of Suguo's Mansion, who was married for the second time, became the concubine of Prince Ping. The fourth Miss Pan, who was supposed to marry into the prince's mansion, was instead broken off.

Xie Yu'an had indeed no interest in Fourth Miss Pan in the past, and given his current health condition, how could he still waste the girl's time?

When Zhao Zhen saw Xie Yu'an kneeling down, she hurriedly said, "Zi'an, I don't think you two have a secret relationship, but I think Fourth Miss Pan is a good match for you."

Xie Yu'an hastily declined, "Your Highness, I was...injured before, and I will never be able to marry in this lifetime!"

This matter is difficult to talk about, but Zhao Zhen is now the crown prince and the one in power, which forces Xie Yu'an, who was once a child of destiny, to bow his head.

Besides, he knew what Fourth Miss Pan was thinking, and he had no interest in her in the first place.

If the prince had Fourth Miss Pan’s engagement broken off because of him, then wouldn’t he have ruined Fourth Miss Pan’s marriage?

"Your Highness, I really have no interest in Fourth Miss Pan. Please understand your Highness."

Zhao Zhen felt a little helpless when he saw Xie Yu'an was so repulsive. The reason he was able to get the emperor to agree to cancel Fourth Miss Pan's engagement was because he said that Fourth Miss Pan had someone in her heart, and that his second brother and First Miss Pan had had physical contact. This was how the matter of the marriage between the royal family and the Duke of Su's Mansion was shifted to his second brother.

At this time, the woman's breaking off of the engagement would have damaged her reputation. Because Zhao Zhen felt somewhat guilty towards Fourth Miss Pan, he wanted to help Fourth Miss Pan and Xie Yu'an get together.

"Since you have no intention of being with her, let's not talk about it."

Xie Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness is wise!"

Zhao Zhen found it funny. "Okay, Zi'an, hurry up and get up. I was just asking casually, but you are still so timid."

Xie Yu'an listened to Zhao Zhen's casual tone, but he didn't dare to go beyond that. No matter who Zhao Zhen was in the past, he was the prince now.

Also, it is unknown whether he really doesn't care about Miss Pan at all.

After this little episode, the two returned to the main topic.

Zhao Zhen did need Xie Yu'an's advice on some matters, so the two chatted in the palace for another hour before Xie Yu'an left the East Palace.

Military Equipment Supervisor.

As usual, the little lion came with the eunuch and carrying a food box to see Qin Ting and his brother.

"Second uncle, second uncle!"

As soon as the little lion shouted with his little voice, the other craftsmen in the workshop knew that the little emperor's grandson had come again to give the Qin brothers a snack.

Qin Ting put down the hammer in his hand, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and wanted to walk out.

Chu Su beside him also stopped and asked curiously: "Qin Ting, why did the little grandson of the emperor come to find you instead of Qin Zhanggu?"

Chu Su had been curious about this for a long time, but he just asked about it today.

Qin Ting grinned, revealing his big white teeth, "Of course I am more popular than my brother, hehe!"

Chu Su: “….”

This silly boy, why didn’t he see it!

Chu Su felt that the eldest son of the Qin family was a man who was able to keep his composure and do things in an organized manner. However, the second son of the Qin family looked silly and was a simple and honest boy.

Chu Su had already inquired about it. Both boys were unmarried, but he had a granddaughter of the right age in his family.

I just wonder if the Qin brothers will dislike their granddaughter’s low status.

Chu Su had also been observing the Qin brothers for a long time and discovered that they were both from farming families, but they were both simple in nature, without any bad habits, and they also had decent looks and were tall.

The above points are all worth considering as a grandson-in-law.

Well, it would be fine if they were not the Crown Princess’ cousins, then he would have the nerve to speak up.

Chu Su shook his head and continued to study the heavy crossbow.

Qin Ting didn't know what Chu Baigong was thinking. He hurried out of the workshop and said, "Little Lion, you're here?"

The little lion was very happy to see Qin Ting coming out, "Second uncle, I brought you meatballs this time!"

Qin Ting was delighted. He picked up the little lion and let it ride on his neck.

The little lion's sight became higher, and his little hands grabbed Qin Ting's thick hair, and he chuckled, "Second uncle, you are so tall!"

Qin Ting held the little lion's two short legs with his big hands, "Hold on tight, we are going to speed up."

The little lion's butt bounced a little, and its little hands tightly grasped Qin Ting's hair. "Well, run faster, go, go...hahahaha!"

Qin Ting played crazily with the little lion, making the Nufang Office suddenly lively.

Qin Xiao, who was reporting to Director Fang, knew it was his nephew when he heard the voice.

Director Fang also knew that the little grandson loved to come to the Military Equipment Bureau. He was not unhappy at all. Instead, he hoped that the little grandson could come more often.

Although the little grandson of the emperor is young now, he can always make himself familiar to others. When he grows up, there will be opportunities for him.

"Okay, Qin Zhanggu, that's it for today!"

Qin Xiao nodded, "Yes, sir, I will take my leave now."

Qin Xiao had just come out of Fang Shuling's office when he saw his younger brother carrying the little lion and parked in front of his office door, waiting for him to come back.

When Qin Xiao leaves the office, he will lock the door. Not only him, but other adults do the same. After all, everyone receives different orders and develops different things. There is also competition in the small workshop.

After Qin Xiao opened the door, Qin Ting took the little lion off his neck and held it in his arms.

"Brother, what does Fang Shuling want to see you about?"

"Starting tomorrow, I will no longer be at the Military Equipment Bureau. I will leave the city and go to the West Camp."

"West Camp? Why?" Qin Ting asked curiously.

"There's no need to ask so many questions about His Royal Highness's order."

Qin Ting said "oh".

The little lion glanced at Qin Xiao and said, "Uncle, is Second Uncle not leaving?"

Qin Xiao had discovered the reason why the little lion liked his younger brother after observing him for a while. He pinched the little lion's nose and said, "Don't worry, he won't leave!"

The little lion was happy, and he opened his little mouth and laughed, "It's good that Second Uncle doesn't leave, hehe!"

"You, you little bastard!"

At this time, Ye Liang had already prepared the meal.

The Qin brothers and Little Lion ate together. Qin Ting ate while picking up food for Little Lion. "This meatball is delicious. Little Lion, try it."

Thinking that he would start studying tomorrow, the little lion said with a look of regret: "Second Uncle, I can't come to see you tomorrow. I have to study with the teacher."

Qin Ting has become accustomed to the extra meals at the East Palace. The food at the workshop is no match for the East Palace. "As long as the extra meals continue, you don't have to come!"
