"Thank you for your concern, sir. I'm afraid I won't need these two men."

Lord Yang... To be honest, I know some martial arts, and I'm afraid I'll be hard-pressed to find a match for me in the capital.

Moreover, there are guards at home; you should take these two ladies back with you for now!

The situation is still unclear, but the He family has already sent them quite a few things.

Upon hearing this, Yang felt that Han Zixuan was unaware of the gravity of the situation.

Then he said earnestly, "Ms. Han... there's no need to refuse, such a big thing has happened!"

How could my He family stand idly by? Now, His Majesty has just ascended the throne and is already facing such a major event.

But you are just a student at the Imperial Academy, how can this be…”

“Lord Yang, Zixuan will always remember the He family’s kindness.”

Before she could finish speaking, Han Zixuan interrupted her, just like everyone else.

They believed that His Majesty had deliberately arranged this to anger the officials.

"I have given this matter much thought, so you can rest assured."

I can only accept this if I am confident, otherwise I would not have accepted this imperial edict.

......"

Seeing Han Zixuan's confident demeanor, Lord Yang hesitated to say anything more.

"Alright! Since Ms. Han has made her decision, I won't say anything more."

He then turned his gaze to Shen Qingxi.

He said gently, "If you need anything from the General's Mansion, just let me know..."

Shen Qingxi's gaze softened, and she nodded. "Thank you for your concern, Lord Yang. How is the old master's health these days?"

He could naturally see how much the He family valued him.

Although not explicitly stated, with more and more evidence emerging!

The He family has already recognized him as a descendant of the He family!

"Ah...good...good...getting better every day!"

Now that he can walk around, he keeps saying... "It's nothing!"

His gaze unconsciously drifted towards Shen Qingxi... The old man had been saying he wanted to see Shen Qingxi.

Shen Qingxi lowered her head knowingly, and Han Zixuan said slowly, "My husband and the old master are somewhat destined to be together."

The elderly person has just recovered from a serious illness, and as their younger generation, we should visit them.

Seeing that Qingxi did not seem to mind, he then suggested, "Why don't we wait a couple of days and have Qingxi take Lingxi to visit her?"

Yang was overjoyed upon hearing this, and clutched the handkerchief tightly in her hand.

"Okay! Okay..."

"I hope Lord Yang will take good care of me then."

"You can rest assured about this Lady Han."

Shen Qingxi still looked timid and worried as she said, "My lady... if it's found out that I'm not... will the He family hold a grudge?"

He never knew how to negotiate with Madam Yang. Every time Madam Yang came, he would just sit by and rarely say anything.

He was inevitably a little flustered if he went to the He family, so he told Han Zixuan about his concerns.

Han Zixuan grasped Shen Qingxi's hand. "Hold a grudge... How can I hold a grudge? Even if it wasn't us, we were still the ones who saved Old Master He's life."

"If that's the case, you can get to know your family members first, right?"

As expected, Shen Qingxi relaxed a lot after Han Zixuan's words of comfort.

Yang's hurried departure from the Han residence was clearly seen by people in the alleys across the street from the Han family.

The figure flashed by, then glanced at the Han family's door before turning and leaving.

Inside the Prince of Nan'an's mansion, wisps of smoke rose from the rooms, and the only sound in the quiet study was the crackling of burning charcoal.

Feng Yu gently put down the brush in her hand and said slowly, "Did you see it clearly?"

"Your Highness, I have seen clearly. It is Lord Yang from the General of Weiyuan's residence."

This marks the third time Lord Yang has visited the Han residence.

I always bring a lot of things with me when I go.

Feng Yu frowned and remained silent for a long time. It seemed that General Weiyuan's mansion had discovered him after all.

After a moment's thought, Feng Yu said gently, "Continue to keep watch. If there is any movement from the Han residence, report it immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Bring Chen Liu here."

She had to act first, before the He family could react and bring the person back to the Prince of Nan'an's residence.

Chen Liu arrived in a hurry shortly afterward. Feng Yu asked in a deep voice, "Is the house you were asked to clean up ready?"

"Your Majesty, everything is ready. Linshui Residence has been prepared as you instructed."

The furniture and decorations are all top-notch, and everything else is perfectly arranged!

Feng Yu nodded, "Okay, go to the storeroom immediately and pick out a few items and prepare some gifts for me to take with me later."

On his first visit, he naturally had to prepare some gifts for Shen Qingxi and the child.

Mother and son have been separated for nearly twenty years... When the child is reunited with his family, he will certainly not be treated unfairly when he returns home.

Chen Liu immediately obeyed the order and went to the warehouse to pick and choose several valuable gifts.

This naturally attracted the attention of the inner quarters.

Li Cejun frowned as he listened to the servant's report, "What? Chen Liu took so many things from the storeroom?"

"Yes... a glass and jade crown, a gold and pearl tassel hairpin, and a jade ruyi symbolizing fortune, prosperity, and longevity..."

There were more than a dozen items, said to have been ordered by the Prince to be given to someone.

My lord, this is the person who could make the Prince of the County go to such lengths and go to such lengths to send such a valuable gift.

......"

Li Cejun clenched her handkerchief tightly, her face filled with gloom.

"Hmph...giving it away, it's probably going to that little bitch!"

He had coveted so many precious things for a long time, but the prince had never bestowed them upon him.

"My lord, not only that, I heard that I saw the servants decorating the waterside residence a few days ago!"

That's the best courtyard in the Prince's Mansion, with the best scenery and a comfortable temperature year-round.

The prince also issued an order forbidding anyone from approaching.

"My lord, it seems the Prince intends to bring that vixen into his residence!"

Li Cejun turned around abruptly in anger, the hair ornament on her head swaying back and forth.

He glared at the servant with eyes wide with fury, "Hmph, nonsense... That vixen should think twice before she tries to enter."

Such a fine courtyard should belong to her daughter, Zhaoyi; no one else should even dream of it.

"Has the Prince left the Prince's residence?"

"Your Highness, I have had people keeping an eye on things; they haven't left yet!"

A sinister glint flashed across Li's face as he adjusted the hairpin at his temple.

"That's good... Let's go and find out what that vixen is all about today."

Then, accompanied by his attendants, he quickly went to the gatehouse to wait.

Sure enough, Feng Yu was seen approaching in a hurry a short while later.

Li Cejun seized the opportunity and suddenly walked over from the side.

Pretending to be just passing by, she exclaimed with delight, "Oh my, Your Highness! Where are you headed?"

When Feng Yu saw him, her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Consort Li? I don't need to inform you where I'm going!"

The tone carried a hint of authority, which Li Cejun quickly noticed, and immediately bowed and admitted his mistake.

“Your Majesty, I deserve to die… Your Highness, please forgive me, I… I had no such intention.”

It just so happened that I was passing by on my way out, and upon seeing the Prince, I became curious and inquired!

After speaking, she lowered her eyes and adopted a gentle and submissive demeanor.

Feng Yu's expression softened somewhat. "Oh, in that case, I was wrong to blame you!"

This prince is currently out on business and cannot speak with you further.

I'm leaving now!

Just as he was about to leave, Li Cejun suddenly seemed to realize something and then said gently.

“Your Highness… Today, the carriages in your residence were taken back to their respective fathers’ homes by Madam Zheng and Minister Situ.”

"May I ride in your carriage to leave the palace?"
