Commander Pei is His Majesty's confidant, and no one can say for sure what the current situation is like.

Nanqianyue glanced at the two of them indifferently, "I'll come out again when you've figured things out."

After saying that, she turned and left.

The man with the square face and thick beard stretched out his hand and shouted, "Miss Nan, this humble servant is truly His Majesty's man! He's the imposter!"

He turned a deaf ear to the southward migration, acting as if it were none of his business, but in reality, he had already begun to make plans in his heart.

Xiao Chen is being held captive in the palace by His Majesty, and Ye Jian is not around either. Does that mean she has a chance to escape?

Yes.

Neon House.

Nanqianyue instructed her maid, "I want to drink sweet soup, please make me some."

The maidservant bowed and replied, "Yes."

After a cup of tea, Nan Qianyue slowly looked at another maid and said, "Go to the main hall and see if those two have left yet."

The maidservant bowed and replied, "Yes."

In the past, the two maids would never have left Nan Qianyue alone, but the situation is different now.

The Crown Prince was detained in the palace, and His Majesty intended to take Miss Nan away. As servants, how could they dare to defy the imperial authority?

Moreover, judging from Miss Nan's appearance, she clearly didn't dare to trust those people easily.

After the maid left, Nan Qianyue immediately got up, slipped to the window, and climbed out...

——

Outside the Imperial Study, the chief eunuch's face turned solemn after hearing the young eunuch's report.

He waved away the eunuch and quietly entered the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, it's time for acupuncture."

Xiao Beiming paused for a moment as he flipped through the memorials. He glanced at Xiao Chen indifferently and said, "Continue reading."

After saying that, he got up and walked out.

Xiao Chen's fingers tightened slowly as he gripped the folded book, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

In the palace adjacent to the Imperial Study, Xiao Beiming's expression turned serious. "What's going on?"

The head eunuch quickly reported, "Your Majesty, the Empress has sent someone to impersonate your people and also to fetch Miss Nan."

Xiao Beiming's gaze turned cold and sharp. "It seems the punishment given to her two years ago was too lenient; she actually dares to act recklessly again."

"Go, have Pei Hong go and pick them up personally."

The father-in-law nodded, "Yes."
