Tang Zhuyun thought Yanran learned everything very quickly, even the stinginess of Huaishang, which she learned remarkably fast.

Prince of Jin returned in the afternoon, accompanied by officials from the Court of Judicial Review.

However, it was not Tang Mingfan.

Because of his relationship with his father-in-law, he avoided any appearance of impropriety.

But Chang Zhi, an old acquaintance, followed.

The Prince of Jin had become a little thinner, but his gaze was even sharper and deeper.

Since it was inconvenient for Tang Zhuyun to go to the outer courtyard, she hid behind the artificial rockery to secretly watch him.

It feels like it's been ages since we last met, but it's actually been less than a month.

I thought that so many days of detention would exhaust him, but to my surprise, he was no different from before.

However, the Prince of Jin seemed to have noticed her, glancing at her several times without making a sound, his eyes subtly smiling.

After asking the questions, the Prince of Jin said he was tired and wanted to go to his study to rest for a while.

He had only disobeyed Noble Consort Jia, not committed any crimes or concealed or destroyed evidence, so the people from the Court of Judicial Review went along with it and only reminded him not to stay for too long.

Chang Zhi: "Come on, I'll take you out to eat! The Princess's cooking is absolutely amazing!"

Tang Zhuyun: She was certain that her father had secretly arranged for Chang Zhi to come.

The power of foodies is unparalleled.

However, she didn't have time to think too much about it. She quietly followed Nanxing around to the back of the study.

She saw the Prince of Jin and was about to give him a bright smile when she suddenly felt herself being lifted into the air, her smile twisting into fear.

Ugh, Nanxing, why didn't you say hello before picking me up?!

However, considering it was a princess carry, I'll forgive you.

Following Nanxing's posture, Prince of Jin stood by the window and welcomed Tang Zhuyun inside.

The two passed the message through the wide window, their coordination was excellent.

If this were a modern window, it would be stuck there...

"Did you miss me?" Prince of Jin leaned down and captured Tang Zhuyun's lips...

Hmm, whether you want to or not, you have to give people a chance to speak!

Before Tang Zhuyun suffocated, Prince of Jin finally let her go, lifting her onto his lap while he sat down on the couch, not letting her get down.

Let's put it that way.

Tang Zhuyun: "... That day in the palace, what else did you and Noble Consort Jia say? Did the Emperor show up before he imprisoned you? What did he say? And..."

"No rush," the Prince of Jin patted her back, "Take your time, there's still time."

How long can you stay?

"It should take about half an hour."

"Is there enough time?" Tang Zhuyun asked, her eyes wide.

The Prince of Jin simply found her Lovely and reached out to pinch her nose. "It's not too late if you don't want me."

If you were to record everything that happened in half an hour, it would be enough to fill a book.

Tang Zhuyun: "..."

She never imagined she'd be making pancakes with him in broad daylight, with so many people outside!

The problem is, wouldn't there be many things to discuss in order to rescue the Prince of Jin?

"Father Emperor has visited the Imperial Prison," said Prince of Jin. "Therefore, our departure from the capital has been settled. There's no need to worry; nothing unexpected will happen."

In short, he forcefully reassured Tang Zhuyun.

What did the Emperor say?

"His affection for Noble Consort Jia was not unconditional; he also harbored suspicions."

Tang Zhuyun carefully considered the Prince of Prince of Jin's words, and sensed a hint of the Emperor's inner conflict in them.

"Not just unconditional pampering," but at least there was some pampering involved?

The statement "There are also doubts" indicates that the doubts themselves lack sufficient weight.

"My father told me a lot about what happened back then."

How many?

Now the Prince of Jin is able to empathize with the Emperor and is willing to help him investigate this matter thoroughly.

The main reason was that the Prince of Jin did not want his origins to be unclear.

Tang Zhuyun: "I've also received some information."

She relayed Qiao Jiao's words to the Prince of Jin.

It was originally thought that these things would be difficult for the Prince of Jin to accept.

Unexpectedly, the Prince of Jin remained remarkably calm.

"I've been thinking about this a lot these past few days."

Either Xiao Wu is inhuman, or she is not his biological mother at all.

The Prince of Jin said self-deprecatingly, "When I talked about my father-in-law before, I thought it was so obvious, so why didn't he suspect the Madam Song?"

Later, when it was my turn, I truly understood what it meant to be "blinded by those involved."

"Then, if Noble Consort Jia weren't your mother, have you ever considered that the Emperor might...?"

Not your father either?

This possibility certainly exists.

Prince of Jin nodded. "I've thought that too, but you haven't seen Father Emperor's portrait when he was young, it's kept in the Purple Tenuity Palace..."

I wouldn't call it copy and paste, but it's exactly the same.

Tang Zhuyun: Your Highness, really, you are so handsome!

If they don't look alike, how can a paternity test be done?

To prove myself, I have to look like them!

Prince of Jin grasped Tang Zhuyun's hand. "Have you been worried about me these past few days?"

"I was worried, but I listened and didn't interfere recklessly, afraid of affecting your plans."

I only came up with this idea so I could see him.

Fortunately, it seems that Xiao Wu's matter is having less and less impact on him.

How difficult it is to gradually erase the shadows of childhood.

But for the Prince of Jin, she was the cure, enough to heal the old wounds in his heart.

"These past few days, seeing them all running around for you, I've felt guilty for doing nothing!"

"Trust me, obedience is the best policy." Prince of Jin couldn't help but rest his chin on her shoulder. "A-Yun, I'll take you to see the place where I grew up."

"Have you already spoken with the Emperor?"

"Hmm." Prince of Jin smiled. "Father also said something about you."

What did you say about me?

"You're incredibly audacious, daring to cause trouble in the palace. We'll settle the score with you later."

Tang Zhuyun breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that the Emperor spoke in this way indicates that he has decided to let them go.

The fact that the emperor was not a foolish ruler was what she was most grateful for.

Ultimately, he was just an ordinary person torn between love and country.

He was really good to Xiao Wu.

--Your family is trying to usurp the throne, and you want my head? I'm only going to give you face online and let so many people go...

In a sense, they were all blinded by lust.

"Then let's quickly help the Emperor find out the truth so I can atone for my crimes. I don't want to be flogged again! By the way, did you get beaten?"

The Prince of Jin remained silent.

Tang Zhuyun immediately became anxious, jumped off him, and reached out to unbutton her clothes.

Unexpectedly, the Prince of Jin took the opportunity to push her down onto the couch. "Since A-Yun is so enthusiastic, I can't refuse her..."

Tang Zhuyun: I @#¥%...

Fortunately, the Prince of Jin was just joking with her and didn't go crazy. After the commotion, he pulled her up and drank a big gulp of tea himself.

Unfortunately, it wasn't very cool.

"Is it really not a miscarriage?" the Prince of Jin asked again, still seemingly preoccupied with the matter.

"No, no." Tang Zhuyun rolled her eyes. "You think you can get pregnant just because the bed collapses? Do you believe Qin Li does nothing but chop up the bed with an axe at night?"

The Prince of Jin was amused by her.

Qin Li said she felt offended.

"Your Majesty, this servant has something to ask of you."
