The emperor still did not receive a response, and he did not expect the person inside to open the door for him, so he took Xiao Dezi away.

What followed was the nobleman's imperial edict of agreement and an oral order of house arrest for one month.

"Your Majesty, don't be sad. His Majesty has you in his heart. He is just angry for a moment."

Xia Yuyan had a blank expression on her face, but her eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

"You don't need to persuade me. I know his mind. The Queen is the apple of his eye. Anyone can touch her, but she cannot. Don't you understand what's more important?"

The personal maid wanted to give some advice, but couldn't find a place to start.

Rong Xi saw all this in the carriage. It was the first time she knew Xia Yuyan.

She didn't care about it before, but looking at the emperor's expression, this person held a great importance in his heart. If she guessed correctly, the emperor's first few children were probably the work of this person, and the emperor knew it all.

When Rong Xi's carriage was halfway there, Shen Ze'an's carriage, which was going to the palace to pick her up, happened to meet it.

Shen Zean got into Rong Xi's carriage swiftly and held Rong Xi on his lap as soon as he got in.

He missed Rong Xi so much today after not seeing her for so long. If he hadn't finished the things at hand, he would have run into the palace early to pick her up.

Now I can understand those people who talk about their wives all the time.

Rong Xi told him roughly what happened in the palace, but she didn't expect that this man seemed to have heard nothing at all. He kept moving around on her, his hands were very restless, and her clothes were messed up.

"Chen Ze'an, I'm talking to you."

"Well, go ahead."

Shen Ze'an's hands became more and more restless. Rong Xi saw that he didn't hear what he had just said, so he slapped his hand away.

"It's still in the carriage. What are you doing?"

"Madam, you are so fierce." He looked pitiful and bullied.

Rong Xi was speechless, and suddenly felt that Shen Ze'an was quite good when he first met him.

The atmosphere between the two people in the carriage was originally ambiguous, but for Shen Zean...

At this moment, the carriage that had been moving forward steadily suddenly stopped without any warning. Due to inertia, Rong Xi was almost thrown out of the carriage.

Fortunately, Shen Ze'an reacted quickly, noticed the abnormal situation in time, hugged Rong Xi tightly, and pressed his feet firmly against the ground, thus avoiding a possible accident.

"Lvzhou."

Shen Ze'an's voice was very cold. Lu Zhou knew that this was a sign of Du Gong's anger, so he hurried to explain.

"Please forgive me, Governor. A child suddenly ran out in the middle of the road."

Shen Ze'an reached out and lifted the curtain. His eyes fell on the outside of the car, and as expected, he saw a panicked woman tightly hugging an innocent-looking child.

The woman's eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. Tears kept flowing down her face as she cried out, "Sir, please forgive me, sir, please forgive me..."

Her voice was filled with fear and pleading, while the child looked at everything happening around him in ignorance, seemingly unaware of the tense situation at the moment.

Although the clothes these two people wore were covered with patches, they were washed clean.

Although the child's skin is a little dark, his little face is round and looks very cute.

In sharp contrast to the child, the woman was skinny and haggard, her eyes revealing deep fatigue and helplessness.

Rong Xi obviously saw this scene as well. She was about to persuade Chen Ze'an to just forget about it, but Chen Ze'an spoke before her.

"Let's go."

He did not intend to hold the mother and son responsible. Not everyone had this privilege with him. If it were someone else, even a beggar, he would not let them go. After all, Rong Xi was really scared just now.

Although he still had a cold face, Rong Xi felt that he was like a glowing little man at this moment.

She approached Shen Zean and whispered in his ear, “I’ll give you a treasure when we get back.”

"What treasure?" Shen Ze'an asked curiously.

"I can't tell you this now, you'll know later."

In the evening, after the two of them finished their business, Shen Ze'an didn't know what Rong Xi's so-called gift was, and kept asking curiously in her ear.

"Xi'er, where is the treasure you gave me?"

Rong Xi turned over, regretting that she had blurted out the matter of the baby just now. He had been asking about it since returning to the mansion, and had never stopped. Even just now... he forced her to say it.

She was really annoyed and told him perfunctorily, "You'll know in two months."

Shen Zean racked his brains but couldn't figure out what the treasure would be two months later. Didn't he say he would give it to him when he came back when he was in the carriage?

For more than half a month, he was troubled by what Rong Xi said, and even asked Lu Feng to ask Bao Huan.

Baohuan didn't know even more. Looking at the marks on the princess' body, she now saw that the people around Shen Zean didn't speak in a very good tone.

"How would I know anything about the Master's affairs?"

She was about to leave after she finished speaking, but Lu Feng had received the order and couldn't find out anything. She knew she would be scolded if she went back, so she followed him again.

"Miss Baohuan, just tell me, or you can keep an eye on it for me."

"What do you mean? You want me to betray the princess? You wish."

"I'm not asking you to betray my wife, I'm just asking you to be careful."

"What's the difference between this and betrayal? I'm the princess's man, so naturally I put her first in everything. Asking me to inquire about her affairs is not betrayal, is it?"

"you……"

He really refuses to listen.

Lu Feng couldn't find out anything, and Shen Ze'an was really curious, so he even sent the chief investigator from the Western Factory to do it, but still found out nothing. Not only that, only one person out of the three groups of people sent out had any recollection of this mission.

Needless to say, these trash were discovered by Rong Xi and controlled by Rong Xi's mental power.

When I came back in the evening and saw Rong Xi having dinner, I suddenly felt guilty and embarrassed.

The Western Factory had never failed before, but when it came to Rong Xi, not only did they fail to find anything, but they were also tricked. He felt ashamed.

He was also afraid that Rong Xi would be angry, so he secretly investigated and was very cautious when he came in.

"Xi'er, let's have dinner."

"The governor came back early today."

"Yeah, if I have nothing to do, I'll come back early to accompany you."

Rong Xi rolled her eyes at him and ate her meal. She felt a little uncomfortable being watched all the time. "You don't want to eat?"

Shen Ze'an seemed to react suddenly and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food. In fact, he didn't dare to move his chopsticks because he was worried that Rong Xi was still angry.

"Is your man okay?"

Shen Ze'an knew she was talking about the detectives he had sent out, and shook his head a little embarrassedly to indicate that she had not.

Rong Xi finished eating, put down the bowl, and reached out his hand, "You know how to take pulses, right? Try it."
