Seeing that Nanny Bai was silent and did not respond immediately, Ni Yueshan asked anxiously: "Nanny, just tell me? I... Jing Yuchen and I are anxious to find a solution! Otherwise, we will be caught off guard!"
"Another maze or something like that will only make the Queen even more angry..." Ni Yueshan's worried look, even with the veil on her face, lingered on her face, making people feel distressed...
Aunt Bai sighed and said, "I'll show it to you later."
Ni Yueshan's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Aunt Bai!"
When the two of them arrived backstage, there were actors who were putting on makeup. When they saw Ni Yueshan in her palace dress, they quickly stood up and prepared to greet her. However, Ni Yueshan said, "No need to be polite. Madam and I will just take a look around!"
From the backstage, one can see all the scenes in the front stage, and naturally the women sitting below watching the opera are also within sight.
The nanny pulled Ni Yueshan to hide behind the curtain, gently lifted a corner, and pointed in a direction.
"The one across from you, three seats away, the one wearing lotus green."
Ni Yueshan was a little surprised. He thought it would be the talkative woman, but it turned out to be a woman sitting in her seat very quietly. Even when watching the play, she listened attentively but was not fascinated. Her face was always calm.
"Who is she?" Ni Yueshan asked curiously.
"Her surname is Chu, another Princess Chu, but she has not been in the capital. This time the Emperor summoned her father for something, and she came along."
"What's your relationship with Chu Ningyang?"
"Cousins, I guess, but not really!"
Ni Yueshan suddenly realized something. The two of them lowered the curtain and walked out. Ni Yueshan walked beside Nanny Bai and said softly, "Thank you for what happened today, Nanny!"
"That's nothing. Just don't be too obvious and let the Queen know that I'm nosy."
"Of course!"
After Aunt Bai left, Ni Yueshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, she and Qingdie returned to the banquet. The Queen turned and asked, "Crown Princess, are you enjoying the show?"
"Very good."
Ni Yueshan didn't want to say more and sat down again. But this time, Ni Yueshan watched seriously and his eyes kept glancing to the side.
That quiet little sister...
There were three scenes in total, and by the time they were all finished, it was basically dark.
Ni Yueshan and Qingdie were anxious to leave the palace, but the queen calmly summoned Ni Yueshan alone.
Ni Yueshan walked into the hall and immediately felt a sense of peace. His head, which had been noisy for an entire afternoon, was finally relieved.
"Crown Princess, do you think Cang Lie will join forces with Xian Chang?"
This question made Ni Yueshan stunned. This shouldn't be her concern, right?
It shouldn't be the Queen who worries about this, right?
"Mother, why is this question?"
"Crown Princess, I just want to tell you that if you are still worthy, you will be the Crown Princess. Otherwise, there are plenty of people who will replace you!"
The queen has been pretending all day, and now she’s finally revealing her cards!
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered, but he was not overly surprised. He simply said, "Your son understands!"
"Well, let's go out of the palace!"
She waved her hand lightly, she had shown off enough of her power. Poor Ni Yueshan was dragged by Qingdie and flew all the way to the palace gate.
As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, the heavy palace door slammed shut.
Ni Yueshan looked at Qingdie worriedly: "Is your arm okay?"
Qingdie shook her head: "Let's go back first!"
After returning to the Prince's Mansion, Ni Yueshan told Jing Yuchen all the information he had received in the palace. Jing Yuchen had been worried before Ni Yueshan entered the palace.
Because of what Ni Yueshan asked him, he felt that Ni Yueshan would do something.
Now that Ni Yueshan was standing in front of him in good health, it was really a relief.
"Thought you were up to some trick?"
Ni Yueshan smiled and said, "Are you kidding me? In front of the Queen? Her territory? Nanny Bai has already told me that the candidate is Princess Chu!"
When Jing Yuchen heard these three words, he frowned obviously and looked conflicted.
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Of course not, the Princess Chu you think of is from outside the capital!"
Jing Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the queen had gone blind.
Ni Yueshan asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel like you have a big misunderstanding about Chu Ningyang? What's wrong with Chu Ningyang? She should be fine!"
Ni Yueshan's words successfully disgusted Jing Yuchen, who sighed: "If you say that again! I'll ask Chu Ningyang to come over and be your sister."
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen speechlessly, then rolled her eyes. Qingdie, who was standing nearby, finally explained, "Crown Princess, you don't know... The Crown Prince has been searching for you, searching for you, and finally found Chu Ningyang. Do you dare to imagine that she and Zou Yangyao have teamed up? So now, the princess has been pressed to the ground and rubbed, and her hair... this time must be bald!"
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen in surprise. Jing Yuchen was not proud at all, but said calmly: "This woman deserves it!"
Ni Yueshan reached out and held Jing Yuchen's arm. Jing Yuchen was puzzled: "What for?"
"I like to say that the man..."
Jing Yuchen's mouth twitched.
Afterwards, the two of them had dinner together, ready to investigate this other Princess Chu.
The next day, Ni Yueshan felt better and went to the inn to see with his own eyes the inn that Yu Fei had burned down.
All that was left of the inn was a scorched earth, which had been cleaned up by someone, and there were no bodies.
Qingdie reminded from the side: "If Princess Consort wants to see the corpse, please follow me."
