In the eyes of the emperor, Eunuch Li has always been a smooth character who stays out of everything. It really surprised the emperor that he suddenly spoke up for Sang Liwan.
"Oh? Li Quan, it's rare for me to hear you speak to someone."
The emperor's words had a hint of something unfinished. Eunuch Li felt a sudden pang in his heart and he knelt down before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I am only reporting the truth, and I have no selfish motives."
The emperor held the teacup and sipped the tea slowly. He did not speak or call out, so Eunuch Li had no choice but to kneel down.
After finishing a cup of tea, the emperor placed the cup on the imperial desk with a tap.
Then, he slowly said, "You have been by my side for many years, don't I know you? Get up."
Only then did Eunuch Li breathe a sigh of relief.
He knew that the emperor was just criticizing him, so after standing up, he stood obediently beside the emperor and did not dare to say anything more.
Instead, the emperor glanced at him sideways and asked, "Li Quan, Princess An is acting so strangely today. Has she really figured it out, or is she just acting?"
Eunuch Li quickly bowed his head and apologized, "I dare not say anything more."
"It's okay, I let you speak."
Seeing this, Li Quan didn't dare to say anything more. He could only ponder it in his mind, and then tentatively said: "In my opinion, Princess An doesn't look like she is acting."
Hearing this, the emperor paused and said, "Tell me about it."
"When I was taking Princess An out, I ran into the Second Prince on the road. Princess An was very disrespectful to the Second Prince, and her words and actions seemed to indicate that she no longer wanted to have anything to do with him. Your Majesty, you know Princess An's personality. It would be difficult for her to put on a show."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "That's the truth."
As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped the imperial desk, "Even Prince An couldn't control such a person. He is really useless."
"Your Majesty, you also know that Princess An was previously concerned about the Second Prince. Now that she was suddenly married to His Highness Prince An, she must be angry with His Highness Prince An..."
"I spent so much effort to marry her to Prince An, just to let him get what he wanted from her, so that Chen'er's life would be smoother after a hundred years. But I didn't expect that after we've been married for so long, Prince An still couldn't find out anything."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so nosy. Since this item is so important, why don't you just marry Princess An to the Second Prince? Given Princess An's feelings for the Second Prince, wouldn't it be easy for her to find out the whereabouts of that item?"
Hearing his words, the emperor simply glanced at him calmly and said, "The General's Mansion is still there, and Princess An is from the General's Mansion. Chen'er doesn't need a wife from a powerful family. If the General's Mansion is gone, then Princess An will be the daughter of a criminal, and even less worthy of Chen'er."
Eunuch Li moved his lips, "What about Ms. Shen?"
The emperor's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. "Chen Yan is talented and has her own ambitions. She will be a good wife in the future. She is an orphan without a strong maternal family. Even if she gives birth to a prince, she will not have other intentions. She is the perfect match for Chen Er."
Eunuch Li took a deep breath and said, "I understand."
The emperor sneered, "I asked you to watch Princess An and General Sang meet today. What did they say to each other?"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li's expression changed slightly, and he slowly shook his head, "She didn't say a single important word, and instead, Princess An pissed General Sang off to death..."

After returning to Prince An's Mansion, Sang Liwan took Qingshui back to his own courtyard, while Jun Moyi went to the study alone.
Qingshui felt a little regretful watching Jun Moyi's departing figure. She couldn't help but whispered, "Miss, why don't you invite the prince back for a cup of tea?"
Sang Liwan looked puzzled, "Why would we invite him for tea out of the blue?"
Hearing this, Qingshui's face suddenly became full of regret. "Oh my dear lady, didn't you see that the prince really wanted you to keep him just now?"
Sang Liwan thought about it carefully, "Really? Why didn't I notice it?"
Just now in the carriage, Jun Moyi suddenly became angry again for no apparent reason and even refused to let her sit on his lap.
Sang Liwan felt that this person must be on her menstrual period, otherwise she wouldn't be so moody.
Therefore, for the sake of her physical and mental health, she decided to stay away from Jun Moyi, even though this man's face was so pleasing to the eye that she could eat two more bowls of rice.
Qingshui opened her mouth. She felt that her young lady was just pretending to be stupid.
Jun Moyi returned to the study in silence.
He felt that he was spending too much time on Sang Liwan, and if this continued, things might develop in an unpredictable direction.
Jun Moyi was silent for a while, and finally tapped the armrest of the wheelchair three times with his fingers.
A gust of wind flashed before his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, a figure appeared in front of Jun Moyi.
If it’s not Yan Hui, then who else could it be?
Yan Hui stood respectfully in front of Jun Moyi, "Master."
Jun Moyi's voice was light, "Did you hear everything clearly?"
"Yes, the Emperor asked the Princess to meet with General Sang because he wanted to learn the whereabouts of that thing from their conversation."
This answer was completely within Jun Moyi's expectations.
He knew exactly what kind of person the emperor was. He never did anything without a profit, so how could he arrange for Sang Liwan and his daughter to meet for no purpose?
Thinking of this, he sneered: "It seems that the old man is anxious and wants to take action without me?"
Yan Hui lowered his head and did not answer.
Then Jun Moyi's voice was heard again: "So what did our princess say to her good father?"
When this matter was mentioned, the expression on Yan Hui's face became a little strange.
Seeing this, Jun Moyi's eyebrows twitched slightly, and the movement of twisting the Buddhist beads in his hand also stopped. "What happened?"
Yan Hui's expression was indescribable. "The princess has made General Sang very angry."
"oh?"
Thinking of how he had been so angry at Sang Liwan's voice in the carriage that his blood boiled several times, Jun Moyi, with the attitude of "I would rather die than let my friend die", suddenly became interested.
Even his back straightened a little.
"What's going on?"
Since entering the palace, Yan Hui has been hiding in the dark, including after Sang Liwan entered the Heavenly Prison, he has been hiding in a secluded place.
At first, he thought he would see a scene of deep affection between father and daughter, but he didn't expect...
