Nan Han nodded, her eyes darkened, and she closed the door nervously.

Leng Yichen in the room also frowned tightly. Was this little eunuch who suddenly appeared by chance or... if what he said just now reached Yue Nanxuan's ears...

"What should I do? I suspect that the eunuch heard everything. Oh, you should leave now. If he goes out and says something, and you sneak into the inner palace and let the emperor know, it will be terrible!"

Nan Han whispered and hurriedly picked up a palace maid's cloak. Leng Yichen was wearing this cloak and followed the head palace maid of Shufangzhai into the palace.

"Then the two of us..." Leng Yichen nodded and took the cloak. "When there is a result, send someone to inform me, Princess. I'm waiting for your news!"

After a passionate kiss, Leng Yichen covered his head with the hat and left the room under Nanhan's arrangement. Outside the room, another senior palace maid had already been waiting and quickly took Leng Yichen away.

Ying's martial arts skills were not very high, so after jumping out of Shufangzhai, he found a place to hide. Fortunately, the palace was large and there were many eunuchs, so the senior palace maid only took a glance and did not see his appearance clearly. After bluffing and running around the palace with her men, she returned to the palace to report.

Ying knew that after this incident, the palace would immediately conduct a thorough headcount check, and he would not be able to hide any longer. Although he did not see the emperor and did not take revenge, his trip was not in vain as he had gotten the news. So he seized an opportunity and sneaked out of the palace.

As soon as he left the palace and changed out of the eunuch's clothes, Ying went straight to the house. After thinking it over, he decided that he should inform Jiang Yan about this matter, so he contacted Jiang Yan again.

Jiang Yan has been resting at home since he was teased by Lan Shuiyao and had his hair cut off.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. However, he knew that Lan Shuiyao was no ordinary woman, so he could only slowly swallow his anger.

Ying went straight in through the back door under the guidance of Wu Yong.

In the study, Jiang Yan bowed respectfully to his shadow, "Where has the prince been these days? I sent people to contact the prince but there is no news. I missed an opportunity in vain!"

Jiang Yan then recounted what happened at the Wanfu Inn last time, and finally sighed, "It's a pity that we failed at the last moment. I always thought that Prince Yongnan was just a reckless man, but I didn't expect that he had such a deep mind!"

Ying pondered for a long time, and suddenly his mind popped up what Lan Shuiyao had said to him. Perhaps he really needed growth and experience now. It would be difficult to achieve great things relying on Jiang Yan alone!

"Godfather, by chance, I entered the palace once and found out that Leng Yichen, the hostage of Han Kingdom, was just pretending. In fact, he has always wanted to return to Han Kingdom and even seduced Princess Nanhan!" Ying immediately told Jiang Yan everything he saw and heard in the palace.

Jiang Yan suddenly realized, "No wonder the princess openly refused the marriage proposal at the dinner, it turns out that she has someone in her heart. This is a good opportunity for the prince to reveal his identity appropriately, contact Prince A Luo of Miro Kingdom, and tell him the news.

In this way, he will be on guard and owe us a favor. He will naturally lend a hand when we act in the future. As for Prince Leng, since he is playing the pig to eat the tiger, we should talk to him openly and see if we can seek cooperation. After all, it is difficult for the two of us to restore the Giant Clam Kingdom!"

Ying originally thought so, and with Jiang Yan's approval, he became more confident.

After conspiring with Jiang Yan for a long time, he returned to the house only when it was dark.

As soon as he returned to the room, the faint smell of incense in the room made his heart tremble. Looking up, he saw a beautiful woman sitting on the bed, smiling gently and glancing at him sideways, but her charming eyes were filled with a cold and frightening light.

"Boss!" Ying felt a little guilty, and hurriedly shouted loudly, stepping forward with a twinkling look in his eyes, "I've been away from home for the past few days, Boss must be worried!"

Lan Shuiyao didn't say anything, but just snorted coldly. That snort fell on Ying's heart, feeling extremely heavy.

He lowered his eyes, fearing that Lan Shuiyao would notice the flaw, but even though he had been wandering outside for the past few years and experienced many hardships, he was a spoiled prince after all, so his thoughts were not that deep.

Lan Shuiyao's eyes became colder and colder. "Ying, I remember when I accepted you, I said that I would not care about your previous identity or past, but after you follow me, you must be completely loyal. Do you remember?"

Ying was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded.

"I know you carry a deep hatred for me, but as long as you are mine, I will be responsible for everything you do. Unless we go our separate ways, you go your way and I go mine!"

Lan Shuiyao's voice became colder and colder. She didn't trust others easily to begin with, and Ying's actions had touched her lowest bottom line. She absolutely could not keep such a dangerous person around her!

Ying was stunned. He heard determination in Lan Shuiyao's words. A trace of fear suddenly surged in his heart, although he was unwilling to be Lan Shuiyao's follower.

But it is undeniable that it was Lan Shuiyao who helped him end his wandering life.

He has a stable home, and also because of Lan Shuiyao's existence, he feels that he is not so lonely and helpless.

Although he has found Jiang Yan now, Jiang Yan did not give him a sense of belonging at all. On the contrary, it was Lan Shuiyao who constantly spurred him on, which made him feel that he was slowly growing up. He absolutely could not leave Lan Shuiyao!

Ying raised his face and gritted his teeth, "The boss once said that he would help me become stronger!"

Lan Shuiyao nodded, "But this has prerequisites!" She would never allow her subordinates to do anything behind her back!

"Boss, I went into the palace these days!" Ying whispered, "After I separated from you that day, I was followed by someone. I happened to see Princess Nanhan's sedan chair entering the city, so I hid under the sedan chair and followed her into the palace. Later, I disguised myself as a young eunuch and stayed in the palace for a few days. I was discovered today and I escaped!"

Lan Shuiyao looked into Ying's eyes. His eyes were big and honest, but she knew that things were not as simple as he said. Could it be that he entered the palace just to avoid being tracked?

Seeing that Lan Shuiyao was still confused, Ying could only take another step forward, "I heard the conversation between Princess Nanhan and the Crown Prince Leng Yichen of the Han Kingdom. They were going to elope. I was just about to hear the details when I was discovered!"

He changed his tone to a pleading one, "Boss, don't chase me away. I promise I haven't done anything that would harm you. From the initial dissatisfaction to the current sincere admiration, Ying has come to regard you as a very important person!"

Lan Shuiyao hesitated for a moment. She knew that Ying must have his own trump card. It was not easy to train a subordinate. As long as he did not do anything that was not beneficial to her, she believed that he would devote himself to her.

Allegiance to her!

Seeing that Lan Shuiyao's expression had eased a little, Ying quickly said, "Boss, I swear that when the time is right, I will tell you all my secrets, but now..."

Lan Shuiyao waved her hands lazily, "I just want you to understand, don't challenge my bottom line, Ying, I gave you a name and don't ask about your past, just because I want you to follow me and start over!"

Ying nodded, "Yes, Boss, Ying understands!"

She stood up lazily and walked out gracefully, "You should go to bed early!"

Ying nodded, and heaved a sigh of relief the moment he closed the door. He leaned his back against the door, thought for a long time, and finally spoke softly, "Shuiyao, wait for the day when I restore my country, and the Queen of the Giant Clam Kingdom must be you!"

Leng Jiu looked up at the three words "Lanshui Tower" and immediately frowned in disapproval, "Your Highness, why did you come here? You clearly know..."

"Shut up!" the man said coldly, with a hint of impatience in his gloomy eyes.

Seeing that the man was really angry, Leng Jiu didn't dare to say anything and could only follow him into the Blue Water Tower.

As soon as he entered the Lanshui Tower, A Luo looked at everything inside greedily, sighing at Lan Shuiyao's thoughts, with a gentle smile on his face.

In the private room on the third floor, with a few side dishes and a glass of "red wine" specially recommended by the "waiter", Luo sat quietly, greedily breathing in the breath that belonged to her, feeling both sweet and strange in her heart.

Leng Jiu knew what Prince A Luo was thinking, but he was just a servant after all, so he didn't dare to say anything. He just took a sip of the red wine and felt that it tasted strange. He muttered secretly: "What the hell, it actually costs ten taels of silver per cup!"
