Shen Wanwan's expression also turned cold. "The dignified Prince of Pingnan wanted to arrest someone in Xie's residence without saying a word. Is there any law under the emperor's feet?"

"Law? Why didn't you think about the existence of law in this world before you took action?"

Shen Wanwan's frown deepened. Did she do something? What did she do?

Last night, she was just reaching out to smooth the young master's hair on his forehead, but when he grabbed her sleeve tightly, she was worried that something might happen and didn't dare to pull him away.

I always knew that Prince Pingnan doted on his only son very much, but I never thought that he would be so unreasonable.

"According to your Highness, it was me who was meddling in other people's affairs last night and shouldn't have advised the young master to return to the palace?"

She doesn't want to be tough, but she has to be reasonable, right?

Prince Pingnan looked at Shen Wanwan deeply. Shen Wanwan forced herself to look him in the face, shocked. He was indeed the only king of a different surname in Nanyao Kingdom. His aura was even more powerful than that of the God of War Prince Qin.

"Didn't the servants of the palace tell His Majesty the truth? Last night at the night market, it was the young master who kept pestering me. I kindly advised him to go back to the palace with your servants. If this was wrong, I apologize to His Majesty and promise not to meddle in other people's affairs again."

Upon hearing this, Prince Pingnan's expression darkened. "You are lying! Where did you hide him? If he loses even a hair, I will make sure everyone in your mansion is buried with him!"

He had been away on official business and had only returned to the palace early this morning. He searched for his beloved son for a long time but could not find any trace of him.

After asking carefully, Prince Pingnan found out that Nangong Xiyu had been out every day when he was away from home, especially in the last five days, and had been wandering around with his servants day and night.

He did not return home the entire night before, and the servant who went out with him did not return until daybreak. He knelt directly before King Pingnan and said that he had been searching for him all night but could not find him.

In a rage, Prince Pingnan wanted to beat to death the gatekeeper and everyone in Nangong Xiyu's yard.

In order to save his life, one of the servants said tremblingly: "The young master may have been taken away by Miss Pei."

Another person shook his head, "But, the young master is clearly following us..."

"what is going on?"

Prince Pingnan roared, and the coldness around him could not be stopped.

The servants trembled, looked at each other, and finally said in unison: "Last night, the last person to come into contact with the young master was Miss Pei San."

Prince Pingnan did not ask any further questions and hurried to the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion to look for someone, but was told that Miss Pei San and Xie Leqing had been kicked out of the house several days ago.

He took some more effort and finally found the Xie Mansion where the mother and daughter were staying.

King Pingnan didn't want to take her daughter away in front of Xie Leqing, but when he saw her, for some reason, his anger rose up.

Why can she and that man's daughter be here together, but his only son is missing?

When Shen Wanwan heard Prince Pingnan asking her to hand over the person, she realized that something must have happened to Nangong Xiyu, otherwise Prince Pingnan would not have come to Xie Mansion to ask for the person for no reason.

But Nangong Xiyu is not here with her, so where can she find someone to hand it over?

"Yesterday on the street, I persuaded the young master to leave, and I haven't seen him since. But the prince came to the Xie Mansion to ask for him, which is a bit too much.

"Besides, the young prince is of noble status. I know my own status very well. Even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to hide the prince. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can search the mansion."

If she didn't do it, then she didn't do it. She was honest and told him to just search the house himself and send the man away first.

"This prince sees that you won't cry until you see the coffin? In that case, let's meet at the government office."

King Pingnan ordered someone to take Shen Wanwan away.

He originally just wanted to bring her back to the palace and find out his son's whereabouts. He would not make things difficult for her. Since she was ungrateful, he would let her suffer a little.

When Xie Leqing heard that his daughter was going to be taken to the government office, his face turned pale. "No, you can't wrongly accuse my daughter. She didn't secretly hide any young master. You can't take her away..."

Feiyue's red figure instantly blocked Shen Wanwan's way, preventing the people brought by Prince Pingnan from getting close.

Shen Wanwan was afraid that the matter would get out of hand, so she patted Feiyue gently and said, "Feiyue, please step aside and stay in the house to take good care of mother. I will go to the government office with them."

She turned around and took Xie Leqing's hand, "Don't worry, mother, I'll be back soon. Believe in me, I'll be fine."

Xie Leqing was not at ease. Once they entered the court, they would have to be punished regardless of whether they were guilty or not.

She looked at Prince Pingnan and pleaded, "Your Majesty, Wanwan has never done anything to hurt your son. Could you please give me a favor..."

Prince Pingnan snorted coldly: "How much is your face worth?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Leqing's face turned even paler, and his heart ached as if it were being stabbed by needles.

He is deliberately seeking revenge!

Does he really hate her that much?

But no matter what, he can't take Wanwan away!

Xie Leqing lowered his eyes and knelt on the ground with a "dong". He wanted to kowtow to Prince Pingnan, but he heard his cold voice, "Even if you die here, I will take her away today."

Xie Leqing was stunned. He actually hated her so much!
