Xie Tingyu's eyes were filled with smiles. He couldn't wait to report the flood control method to his father and was waiting for his father's praise.

Concubine Duan smiled and said, "Go ahead. Don't make your father wait anxiously."

Then he looked at Shen Nanxing: "Nanxing, how about you stay here with your mother and talk to her?"

Although he said such an invitation, there was a hint of impatience between his brows, and he even yawned.

Shen Nanxing was naturally sensible. Concubine Duan didn't want her to stay, and she didn't want to stay here either! She felt uncomfortable all over.

She then stood up politely and said, "Mother, you have been talking with me for so long, I am sure you must be tired. I will not disturb you any longer."

"I've heard the Imperial Garden is incredibly beautiful, but I've never seen it in person! Since I'm going to the palace today, I thought I'd go take a look."

Concubine Duan was very happy and relaxed: "What a coincidence! Yu'er has to pass through the Imperial Garden when he goes from here to the Imperial Study. You can go with Yu'er. You can also broaden your horizons by strolling around the Imperial Garden."

"Yes, concubine."

The two left hand in hand.

Shen Nanxing didn't look back, but he could feel the resentful gaze behind him.

She twitched her lips. After all, she hadn't gotten the money yet. Couldn't she pretend a little longer?

……

After Fu Jiuli left the imperial study, she had nothing to do, so she strolled slowly in the palace.

As I was walking, I suddenly realized that I was walking on the road to Xiyue Palace.

He paused slightly and looked around. Thinking that the Imperial Garden was nearby, he turned a corner and went to the Imperial Garden.

He had never been interested in flowers and plants, so he walked all the way to the lake.

Golden sunlight shone on the shimmering lake, casting a brilliant glow. A gentle breeze blew across the lake, twirling the corner of his black robe and stirring his turbulent thoughts.

"King Li? Why are you here?" A joyful voice came from behind.

Fu Jiuli suppressed her thoughts and turned around, only to see a young man in white brocade clothes and a white jade crown standing a few steps away from her, looking at her with a look of surprise.

Fu Jiuli bowed and said, "I greet His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

The Sixth Prince acted like a grown-up, waving his hands and saying sternly, "Prince Li, haven't I told you many times? You don't need to bow to me or call me Your Highness when no one is around."

"Just call me by my name. Just call me Xie Heng! Do you hear me?"

"I won't bother with you this time, but you must remember this next time! Otherwise, otherwise..."

The young man stammered for a long time but couldn't make any clear words. He just glared at the other person with an accusing expression on his face, but he was helpless against him.

The young man talked for a long time, but the other party ignored him. He didn't care, but suddenly remembered something. His eyes widened and he approached King Li mysteriously.

Then he tiptoed close to Li Wang's ear and whispered, "You like Shen Nanxing."

Fu Jiuli's pupils shrank suddenly, and he took a step back and bowed again: "This is a false accusation, Your Highness, please stop talking nonsense."

"Princess Jing is your Highness's sister-in-law, and her name is already in the imperial family register. I dare not even dream of anything like her. Your Highness, please refrain from such remarks, lest they lead to gossip about Princess Jing. It would be disastrous if this caused dissension between Prince Jing and his wife."

The young man tilted his neck high, a smug look on his face. "That's strange. I've known you for eight years, and how come I've never seen you defend someone like this before?"

Fu Jiuli has been in the palace for eight years since she entered it at the age of twelve.

From being a lowly eunuch emptying toilets for the eunuch chief, he worked his way up to the pinnacle of power step by step. He is in charge of the East Factory, the largest power institution in the North Vietnam Kingdom, and was named a king of a different surname by His Majesty. He has long been able to deal with all matters calmly.

He never reveals his thoughts and always keeps his emotions under control.

Therefore, the panic he felt just now had been completely concealed by the young man in front of him before he could even notice it, leaving no trace of abnormality.
