"You said your man must have you as his only woman. Fang Yunheng no longer meets your requirements. You should stay in the palace obediently. I will give you the highest favor."

He wanted to put his arm around Wen Qinning's shoulders, but she pushed him away mercilessly.

"Don't touch me, I find you disgusting!"

Xuanyuan Mo was injured and patiently explained.

"You were the one who brought Hua Ling to me. I didn't know she wasn't you at the time."

"Even so, what about the other concubines?" Even though she was prepared, Wen Qinning still felt uncomfortable when she heard him admit it personally. Her eyes turned red and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Don't tell me nothing happened between you and them."

Xuanyuan Mo opened his mouth. He had kept the affairs of the harem secret, and now was not the time to expose them.

He remained silent, which Wen Qinning considered as a tacit agreement. She taunted him, "Xuanyuan Mo, you really make me feel sick!"

Xuanyuan Mo stared at her and said, "One day you will understand."

After leaving Ninghuan Palace, he felt lost and sat alone in the imperial study for the whole night.

Before the morning court the next day, the secret guards sent by Xuanyuan Mo finally returned.

"Prince Regent, I called for water nine times last night."

Xuanyuan Mo broke the brush in his hand, "How is she?"

After listening to the secret guard in the corner all night, he said: "No problems have been found yet."

"Continue to follow her, find a way to gain her trust, and help her if necessary."

Secret Guard: "Yes."

………………

Hua Ling lived comfortably in the Regent's Palace.

Fang Yunheng did not confront the emperor in front of all the civil and military officials as in the plot. Apart from dealing with the case of Master Wen, he spent the rest of his time with Hua Ling.

In the court, Xuanyuan Mo looked at the dark circles under Fang Yunheng's eyes and fell into deep thought.
