In the main hall of the Duke's Mansion.

When Luo Lan came to the Duke's Mansion from the palace, Liu Dechang knew that she was worried.

Liu Dechang sat in the main seat, looking at her solemnly.

"Is it for Huaiyu?"

Luo Lan was a little surprised by his father's direct questioning.

She looked up at her father, smiled bitterly and nodded,

"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

"Do you want to plead for Huaiyu?"

"Dad, Huaiyu said he could take responsibility for the crime he committed, but I'm always worried that Lengyu will really punish him for deceiving the emperor."

"Do you think the Emperor will punish him more severely because of his biological father?"

Luo Lan didn't expect that her father could see through all her thoughts.

She lowered her head in shame, and Liu Dechang continued:

"Don't worry, the emperor is not a petty person. He will handle this matter impartially."

"But...but what I fear most is that he handles the matter impartially. You are well aware of the mistakes Huaiyu made."

"Hey! He's not a child anymore. Since he made a mistake, he should bear the consequences."

"Dad, although Huaiyu is not my biological child, he has been by my side since he was born. I treat him as my own child. I don't want anything to happen to him."

After saying this, she lowered her head in frustration.

Liu Dechang's brows tightened at this moment. He pondered for a moment and sighed softly.

"Please put this matter on hold for now. Give the Emperor some time to think about it, and let Dad think about it for you too!"

"father……"

Luo Lan was very touched. In the past, his father had always disliked Huaiyu. He thought Huaiyu was Leng Yun's descendant, and when he grew up, he would definitely be like Leng Yun, a sinister and brainless villain.

But now, Dad is willing to help her find a way to save Huaiyu, which is enough to show that he has let go of Huaiyu in his heart.

She felt very relieved about this, and was also happy for Huaiyu.

One month later

Prince Ning's Mansion

Xingnan sat in the main hall, eating grapes in her hand while looking at Aqin standing in front of her.

After staying in Prince Ning's Mansion for a month, Aqin looked much better.

"Princess, you...you called me here, is there something wrong?"

Aqin seemed a little nervous. Xingnan ate the grapes in his hand, spit the grape skins into his palm, and then looked at her.

"Aqin, do you want to be the prince's concubine?"

As Xingnan asked this question, his heart tightened.

She knew that she was being unfair to herself by doing this, but she had tried several times with Xiao Ningzi in the past month, but he still couldn't do it. Whenever he faced her, he looked so weak, as if she was not a woman at all.

She felt embarrassed to ask the Queen for the prescription again, so she thought of trying a different woman for him.

She had made up her mind that if it didn't work out for him with other women, then she would just let it go and she wouldn't dwell on it anymore.

Aqin looked up at her timidly and shook her head hurriedly.

"Aqin doesn't dare to have such fantasies."

"I'm not kidding you. If you can get the prince to sleep with you tonight, I'll make him his concubine tomorrow morning."

"Princess, Aqin doesn't dare to have any improper thoughts about the prince. Please forgive Aqin!"

"I'm telling you again, do as I say."

"princess……"

Aqin raised her head timidly, but Xingnan looked at her directly with a sharp gaze.

When Aqin realized she wasn't joking, she pinched her fingers and nodded in agreement.

However, as she agreed, a puzzling look flashed in her eyes.

At night, Xingnan made an excuse that he was not feeling well and asked his servants to inform Xiao Ningzi to sleep in the study.

In response to this, Zhi'er, the maid beside her, asked worriedly,

"Princess, what if Ah Qin really gets into the prince's bed? Do you really want her to be a concubine?"

When this issue was mentioned, Xingnan felt her head hurt even more.

No one knew that Xiao Ningzi and she had never had sex, and Zhi'er naturally didn't know either, and she would not tell Zhi'er her thoughts.

She just sighed softly.

"This princess also needs time to rest. It would be a good thing to find a concubine for the prince."

"But...but this will make you feel wronged. It will make me sad to see this."

"I'm not wronged. You can go down first and leave me alone for a while. Oh, by the way, keep an eye on the prince. If there is any news, please inform me as soon as possible."

She had thought a lot in the past month.

After being married to Xiao Ningzi for so long, she really feels exhausted when it comes to matters between men and women.

If he could stand up straight when facing Aqin, it would prove that it wasn't him who couldn't do it, but she made him unable to do it.

Every night, she felt distressed when she saw Xiao Ningzi trying hard but not getting what she wanted.

She knew in her heart that she was actually very conflicted now. She wanted Xiao Ningzi to be devoted to her, but she also didn't want him to lose his masculinity because of her.

So, she thought of letting Aqin try it out.

Thinking of this, she muttered to herself,

"If you see other women who are also not good enough, I won't blame you. I won't leave you because of this."

After comforting herself like this, she put her hand on her forehead and waited quietly for news from the other side.

After Xiao Ningzi came to the study, he was about to take off his clothes and lie down when he saw a person lying on the bed through the bed curtain.

He screamed in fright, thinking he had walked into the wrong room, and quickly ran to the door.

When he confirmed that this was his study, he rushed in again angrily and asked the person behind Shaman:
