After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

"Shuang'er, don't be nervous. I called you here just to show the Queen Mother." The Queen seemed to see through her thoughts and comforted her with a smile.

When Xie Mishuang heard this, she wondered if the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with her?

"The Queen Mother also came to Fengyi Palace this morning and had some complaints about you." The Queen said in a calm tone.

"The Queen Mother pays the most attention to etiquette and rules. She is naturally unhappy that you have not paid your respects to your mother-in-law upon entering the royal family. She also wants the prince's two concubines to enter the palace early." The Queen explained lightly, but there was a hint of helplessness in her tone.

Xie Mishuang immediately understood and apologized: "It was my negligence that disappointed my mother."

"It's okay. You and the prince are in love with each other. I also hope that you can be happy. I don't care much about those red tape." The Queen waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to take it to heart.

"Thank you, mother, for your understanding." Xie Mishuang was grateful in her heart, but she also knew that the Queen Mother had specially called her here today, not just to say this.

As expected, the Empress' tone suddenly changed, becoming more serious. "However, I must remind you that the Shang and Feng families are both prominent families. If they enter the palace, they will definitely try every possible means to deal with you, and they may even deprive you of the Crown Prince's favor. You should know that the Crown Prince is the future king, and he will definitely have three palaces and six courtyards. I hope you don't get too involved."

Xie Mishuang's heart trembled. The Queen Mother was reminding her to be wary of the two concubines and to suppress her feelings for the Prince.

Are there really mothers-in-law in the world who tell their daughters-in-law not to be too attached to their own sons?

The Queen should be the only one in the world who can say such words because she must have been hurt in love.

"Thank you, mother, for the reminder. I'll take note of it." Xie Mishuang replied respectfully.

Afterwards, Xie Mishuang exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Queen before returning to the Prince's Mansion.

Xie Mishuang did not feel relieved, but felt even heavier.

She returned to the bedroom and Qinghe brought her tea. Seeing that she looked worried, he didn't dare to ask more questions and just quietly stepped aside.

Xie Mishuang sat alone by the window, watching the sky gradually darken outside, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

She picked up the needle and thread and began to embroider a purse. This was her favorite thing to do every day, as it allowed her to calm down.

However, today she just couldn't calm down. The needle and thread in her hands seemed to have lost control, and the embroidered pattern was crooked.

Time passed little by little, the sky gradually darkened, and lanterns were lit in the mansion, illuminating the entire Prince's Mansion as if it were daytime.

Finally, a familiar figure appeared at the gate of the mansion.

He was dressed in black clothes and wore a piece of white jade around his waist. He looked even more cold and majestic, a completely different person from usual.

"Miss, are those flowers you're embroidering? Why do they look so strange?" Qing He looked at the crooked pattern Xie Mishuang had embroidered on the purse. It was completely different from the young lady's usual style. She couldn't help but joked, "Could it be that you've been missing the Crown Prince so much that you can't even hold the needle and thread steady?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Mishuang looked down at the "masterpiece" in his hand and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside the door.

The prince is back.

Qinghe quickly put down the teapot in her hand and walked out.

Xie Mishuang quickly stood up and looked at Ouyang Jing who walked in. He wanted to ask something but didn't know where to start.

If she opened her mouth, would the prince think that she was in cahoots with the Jiang family, and then, for the sake of justice, would he arrest her and send her to the Ministry of Punishment?

Ouyang Jing walked up to Xie Mishuang and saw a half-embroidered purse on her desk, so he picked it up.

Xie Mishuang wanted to snatch it back, but she was not as strong as him, so Ouyang Jing got it.

Ouyang Jing carefully looked at the purse in his hand and said lightly: "My beloved concubine's embroidery skills seem to need more practice."

When Xie Mishuang heard this, his face suddenly became embarrassed.

"Your Highness is right. I will definitely embroider a better purse for you someday." Xie Mishuang straightened herself up and changed the subject, "May I ask, Crown Prince, if I may... leave the palace for a moment?"

Ouyang Jing placed the purse on the table and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I'll accompany my beloved concubine out of the palace later."

Xie Mishuang quickly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I just wanted to meet up with a few close friends to go shopping together. Your Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, how could I dare to trouble His Highness to accompany us?"

"Besides, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were to go, they would definitely be restrained and unable to relax."

"No problem." Ouyang Jing put away the purse in his hand and said in a light tone, "After I take you out, I will wait for my beloved concubine in the teahouse."

Xie Mishuang nodded helplessly. This was the only solution for now.

Soon, the two changed into casual clothes and slipped out of the palace gate.

Before Xie Mishuang left, he quietly pulled Qinghe aside and whispered, "Qinghe, go to Wanxiang Teahouse quickly and ask Jiang Yulian to wait for me at the back door of the Xie family."

Qinghe nodded and turned to leave.

At the back door of the Xie family, a figure in a black cloak was pacing back and forth anxiously in the cold wind.

Soon, a woman appeared in her sight.

"Shuang'er!" The figure in black walked up quickly and lifted the cloak on his head.

Only then did Xie Mishuang see clearly who was coming. It was actually Jiang Yulian, a woman disguised as a man.

Jiang Yulian's eyes were slightly red. She took a step forward and pretended to kneel down. "Crown Princess, my parents are absolutely wronged. Please, Crown Princess, please stand up for our Jiang family!"

Xie Mishuang quickly stepped forward and supported her: "Sister Yulian, please get up quickly. From now on, you can still call me Shuang'er like before."

"I know the Jiang family is innocent, but we must find the real culprit who framed them." Xie Mishuang frowned slightly, a gleam in his eyes. "The Shang family framed you, so they certainly won't leave any evidence for themselves. Do you remember who Jiang's father met before he was imprisoned? What happened to him?"

Jiang Yulian thought about it carefully, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and raised her head abruptly: "It's the eldest son of the Shang family, Shang Zhize!"

"He came to my house to propose marriage, saying he wanted to take me as his concubine. Naturally, my father refused, so he brought people to surround the entire house. The betrothal gifts he sent were all military pay, and then he falsely accused the Jiang family of embezzling the military pay. It's simply shameful!"

Xie Mishuang was shocked when he heard this.

I didn't expect the Shang family to be so bold as to use military pay to frame the Jiang family.

Shang Zhize, the eldest son of the Shang family, seems to be one of the deputy directors of the Ministry of Punishment. Coupled with his father's power in the court, the Shang family can almost be said to have absolute power.

Even Ouyang Jing might not be able to do anything to him.

What's more, since the Shang family dared to frame the Jiang family so blatantly, the forged military pay slips must be indistinguishable from the real ones, and the evidence is solid.

If you want to overturn the verdict, you may need to think carefully.
