It seems that Xie Shizhu is really right.
Fan Zhi pursed her lips and said, "Mother, my sister-in-law is a well-educated and sensible person. She has reasons for everything she does. It's Xie Hailan who is wrong."
The queen was in great difficulty.
At this time, Xie Shizhu broke the solemn atmosphere: "I will give you three days to think about it. Which is more important, your daughter's loss and the emperor, or the Fan Kingdom?"
After saying this, Xie Shizhu ordered the city gates to be closed and the number of guards to be increased.
Take Ming Ruzhen and others away.
The queen outside the city wall was extremely annoyed and could not make a decision for a while.

After returning to the palace, Xie Shizhu left Ming Ruzhen alone in his palace.
Xie Ji climbed onto the roof and listened to the conversation inside.
Ming Ruzhen poured Xie Shizhu a cup of tea and said doubtfully, "Your Majesty, you are the lost Princess Ning'an of Fan State. Why do you follow the words of the Queen of Fan State?"
Xie Shizhu's hand holding the teacup trembled. He looked at her in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, "How did you know?"
Ming Ruzhen said: "That day, the minister saw it."
Xie Shizhu was stunned for a long time.
Ming Ruzhen continued, "I didn't see it on purpose. I just glanced at it unintentionally and saw your blood mixed with Fan Zhi's blood. Then I knew you were Princess Ning'an."
Xie Shizhu's breathing stopped.
Ming Ruzhen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have a plan for everything you do, and I trust you, so I have never mentioned this matter. However, now that things have come to this, I am confused by your concealment."
Xie Shizhu calmed his shocked mood, took a sip of tea and then answered Ming Ruzhen's question.
The woman's voice was a bit lazy and sounded particularly pleasant.
"To tell you the truth, I was adopted. As for my relatives, I only found out recently."
Xie Ji on the rooftop's pupils shrank, and his eyes were filled with complexity.
He was filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy.
The good news is that the imperial sister and he really have no blood relationship.
The sad thing is that the imperial sister already knew that the two of them had no blood relationship, and would rather watch him suffer for this relationship than tell him the truth.
Suddenly, a woman's sweet voice continued to be heard from the hall.
Xie Ji held his breath and listened.
"The reason I didn't tell the people of Fan State was that I was testing them."
Ming Ruzhen asked in surprise: "A test?"
Xie Shizhu smiled lightly, with a hint of helplessness in her smile: "When I was little, my father wasn't very kind to me. Compared to other princesses and princes, I was like an outsider. I didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes, and it was Xie Ji who gave me cakes and food."
Mingru looked at her with real pain.
But the woman appeared calm and showed no pain.
Xie Shizhu said, "I have never enjoyed family affection since I was a child. Only Xie Ji gave me this. The people of Fan Country want to recognize me. I have to see how sincere they are."
Ming Ruzhen said with pity: "Your Majesty has suffered."
Xie Shizhu shook his head: "It's not bitter. With Xie Ji around, I haven't suffered much."
She looked thoughtful, "If they don't save Xie Hailan from prison, it means there's no need for me to recognize them."
The system was puzzled as to why the host allowed Xie Ze to steal the purse, but after Xie Shizhu's words, it suddenly understood.
The host is considering the original owner. If the Emperor and Empress of Fan Kingdom did not love Xie Shizhu, they would not try to save Xie Hailan.
There was no need for Xie Shizhu to let someone who had already escaped from the love of his father and mother fall into new pain again.
Ming Ruzhen's eyes were red. She hugged Xie Shizhu and said softly, "Even if they don't save Xie Hailan, you still have a sister like me."
After he finished speaking, there was a sound of tiles falling to the ground from the roof.
Xie Shizhu and Ming Ruzhen immediately became alert.
Xie Shizhu looked at Ming Ruzhen and said, "Go and take a look."
Ming Ruzhen obeyed the order and jumped out of the window of the hall.
Xie Ji looked at the tiles that fell to the ground with annoyance and a complicated expression.
