"It might not be too late."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Jingyan jumped out of the window and left the study, taking with him the longevity lock from the Grand Prince Consort's hand.

Shen Wan, “…???”

Steward Zhou, “…???”

Steward Zhou looked at Shen Wan blankly, "Why did the Prince leave?"

Shen Wan sighed and said, "Your prince went to intercept the imperial edict."

Manager Zhou, “…!!!”

Has the prince gone mad?!

He knew that the prince had broken his leg in a fall from his horse and was despondent, often seeking death to spite the emperor. But after marrying the princess, his leg healed and he had hope for the future. As a result, the prince sought death even more than when he had broken his leg.

Just two days ago he forged a pardon, and today he intercepted an imperial edict. Does the prince not want to lose his head?

They've already done more than enough to save the life of the Prince of Yanping's son.

Normally, Steward Zhou would probably suspect that it was the Princess's influence, but just now the Princess didn't say a word, no, not even a single word. It was the Prince himself who wanted to do it.

Steward Zhou had a headache. He looked at the Prince Consort, whose face was a little pale, and was about to say something when the Prince Consort had already turned and left.

Steward Zhou quickly escorted the eldest son-in-law out of the mansion.

After they left, Yinshuang looked at Shenwan with concern, "Your Highness intercepted the imperial edict, will you be alright?"

The question made Shen Wan's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys tremble.

That bastard!

Using a longevity lock as a get-out-of-jail-free card?!

Shen Wan was eager to know why Xie Jingyan did this, and her intuition told her that Xie Jingyan was not a reckless person.

"Prepare the carriage; we'll go to the palace to wait for him."
