Yan Nangui covered his mouth: "If you say something about a troublesome little devil, I'll throw up."

Her eyes were extremely serious.

"No, you are a true beauty." A rare beauty indeed.

“In my eyes, you are too. A stunning beauty. Mine.” Yan Nangui took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly flipped over to pin him down: “The ground is cold, Your Highness should try it too.”

Shu Chengfeng didn't struggle, just lay there watching her: "Since it was given by Tang'er, I naturally have to try it."

Yan Nangui suddenly stood up: "What do you mean, 'taste'? Is this appropriate? Get up."

Shu Chengfeng laughed as he stood up, gently straightened his clothes, and sat back down as if he had never rolled on the ground: "Aren't you going to pour me some tea?"

Yan Nangui called out to the person who had come.

Jiangxiang and Chanyi came in, heads bowed. One poured tea, while the other tidied Yan Nangui's clothes and hair.

"Tell the kitchen to prepare dinner. This afternoon has been wasted. Tell His Highness to eat early, as he might be busy tonight," Yan Nangui said.

Shu Chengfeng raised an eyebrow: "You've made good arrangements for me. Come, help me change my clothes. Change into something comfortable."

That means I'm not leaving.

Jiangxiang hurried to settle things in and told Chanyi to help the Crown Prince change his clothes. Luokui and Yuanhua also came in to serve him.

In Jiangyun Garden, Consort Murong was in a terrible mood.

"This is truly bizarre! With her making such a fuss, His Highness might think I did something wrong. How fitting! Consort Jin falsely accused Yan Liangyuan, and she was wronged. So, I'm the only bad one here?"

"Please calm down, Consort Yan. If you didn't do it, why would His Highness pin it on you? Everyone around Consort Jin has been arrested and interrogated. There will be a result eventually. Consort Yan is smart enough not to go to such lengths. This matter is too obvious. It has to have happened in Laiyang Prefecture, it's too deliberate." Wu Yu squatted down to coax her.

"Besides, Yan Liangyuan was with us at the time. Does that mean she's not suspicious? What if she staged it all herself to frame someone?"

Murong Liangyuan thought for a moment, then gently shook her head: "No."

"Anyway, don't worry too much. What's fake can't become real. Just relax. If Yan Liangyuan is also innocent, she won't misunderstand you."

Murong Liangyuan sighed, "Never mind. Let's prepare the meal."

"Yes," Kiriyu replied, though she was also a little uneasy.

Among the people changing at Jin Fengyi's place was an aunt in her thirties. She served in the front yard.

I'm just here to support this temporarily.

As she set out the meal, she said, "What great fortune you are, Consort Feng, to be pregnant with a child. Whether it's a boy or a girl, your life will be completely different."

“This is a blessing, so we should cherish it. If we lose it, there won’t be a second chance. What do you say, Your Excellency?”

Kim Bong-yi was both angry and frustrated.

“Aunt is right. I am certainly not as good as Yan Liangyuan. Even if I don’t have children, it is still a blessing.”

Aunt Zhang didn't even flinch.

"It's good that you know this, Fengyi. Yan Liangyuan is the eldest daughter of the Yan family. She is a legitimate eldest daughter with a noble birth. What does it matter whether she has children or not? Her father guards Daiyang Pass, which is equivalent to her having ten or eight children."

Kim Bong-yi paused for a moment: "Yes."

She was too exhausted to say anything more.

"Let's have our meal. I'll apply a face mask for you in a bit," said Aunt Zhang.

Kim Bong-eui was instantly extremely embarrassed; it was truly shameful.

She was extremely resentful, but dared not say anything.

Aunt Zhang is someone who serves the Prince in the front courtyard.

That night, some people couldn't sleep, while others were too busy to sleep.

For example, those two beauties fighting like fairies.

The next morning, when Yan Nangui paid his respects at the main courtyard, he looked dejected.

Kim Bong-yi didn't come today; her face was swollen.

Ye Liangdi was so excited yesterday, she was a little embarrassed today, so she made up an excuse not to come.

The Crown Princess asked several questions with concern, and Yan Nangui's attitude was extremely good.

At this moment, Yun Ji was in the study in the front yard, giving a reply.

"I've interrogated those people. Apart from Huan'er, the others probably really don't know. As for Huan'er, that's all she knows. Back in Laiyang Prefecture, an old woman contacted her. Now it's probably difficult to find that person, since she's still in Laiyang Prefecture."

"I doubt that Jiangyun Garden could do that within the manor."

"Since it wasn't the Murong family, then it must have been those few spies who did it?" Shu Chengfeng chuckled. "That's true. Even she knows that this isn't targeting her, but her father. I doubt the Murong family would do such a thing."

It's really unnecessary to go to such great lengths to deal with Yan Nangui.

Setting a trap or vying for favor is one thing. But plotting to harm one's offspring is a much bigger deal.

Within the household, Yan Shi was not the most favored, and therefore posed little threat.

"Tell me, is Father Emperor avenging Consort Zhen's child, or avenging Consort Zhou?" Shu Chengfeng asked with a smile.

"I don't know, but no matter who it was, it didn't work out," Yun Ji said with a smile.

Yun Ji thought, "Now that His Highness mentions Consort Zhen, he seems more composed than before?"

Or is he mistaken?

"Keep a close eye on those stakes. It's not time yet." Shu Chengfeng smiled gently.

Yun Ji agreed, saying that it was natural; overt agents were always easier to deal with. He also needed to investigate thoroughly to make sure there were no more people working for His Majesty that were still unknown.

He no longer feels sentimental about the state of his father-son relationship; he's truly gotten used to it.

"Select some items and send them to Jiyue Pavilion and Jiangyun Garden," Shu Chengfeng said.

This means that we have no doubt about the two of them.

"Sell that Huan'er off. As for the others, you decide what to do with them. Send back those who can be served, and pay for their recovery if they can't. As for the one in the kitchen, make sure he gets proper medical treatment. I don't take human life lightly."

"Yes," Yun Ji replied.

Shu Chengfeng stood up: "Let's go."

Today I must enter the cabinet; this is a matter for today.

Although His Majesty did not want him to be involved in too many court affairs, unfortunately, once he came of age and entered the court, he had to be involved.

No matter how much you try to control him, he will only come into contact with more and more of these things.

The rewards received varied from person to person.

Yan Nangui didn't care much; she thought that as long as the Crown Prince wasn't mentally unstable, he wouldn't suspect her.

It's just for show, for others to see.

However, Consort Murong was truly relieved, mainly because the time and place were too sensitive, and it wouldn't be good if His Highness misunderstood.

Now that things are as they are, she can finally rest easy.

No one cared how uncomfortable Kim Bong-yi felt, having nothing to show for it.

It's all her fault for meddling.

Admittedly, she was also set up, but she's not stupid. Is she truly innocent? Or is she also using this as an excuse to cause trouble?

Whether it is true or not, only she herself knows the truth.

But it was no use; the geese flew south and were still perfectly fine.

Even if Shu Zhongjing wanted to make Shu Chengfeng and General Yan become enemies, it wouldn't be so easy.

Yan Nangui is not a fool.

So Aunt Zhang is right. For someone like Kim Bong-yi, with her background, to be able to conceive is an incredible stroke of luck.

If she doesn't cherish this blessing, she really won't have another chance.
