Chapter 41 Hong

The next day, East Palace.

Xie Yun got off the morning court and stood there as cold as ice, while the maid was changing his clothes.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, how do you unlock this mechanism? I've been thinking about it all night and I can't do anything!"

A baby's voice came from outside the dormitory, and Xie Yun's legs were hugged tightly.

His face darkened a bit, and his dark blue eyes showed the anger that was about to spew out.

The maid backed away in fright.

"It's obvious that the queen mother likes you, so why do you always keep it in my east palace?" Xie Yun gritted his teeth, and it took a lot of effort to resist the urge to kick Xie Shu away.

"Your Highness, why are you unhappy? Did you get scolded again when you went to court?" Xie Shu blinked his eyes, insisting on holding Xie Yun's leg and not letting go.

Xie Yun looked down, Xiaowa's big black and white eyes were clear and transparent, sincere and kind, and they were completely different from her mother's gloomy eyes.

His heart softened, he squatted down, took the mechanism lock in Xie Shu's hand, and moved his slender fingers quickly.

After a while, the mechanism lock was opened, and a smiling little wooden head popped out of the lock heart, which was extremely ugly.

"Wow!" Xie Shu was taken aback at first, then laughed out loud in surprise, holding the clown in his arms fondly.

The corners of Xie Yun's lips raised slightly, and he stared at Xie Shu in a slightly absent-minded manner, as if he saw a certain memory worth recalling through him.

Afterwards, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of Xie Shu's hair, and said softly, "Why don't you miss your mother?"

"Mother said that she has important things to do, more important than Shu'er, Shu'er wants Mother to be happy, and can't bother Mother!"

Xie Shu buried his head in putting together the unlocked mechanism lock, completely oblivious to Xie Yun's surprised and dazed expression.

Xie Yun murmured: "Your mother has something more important than you, won't you be unhappy?"

"No!" Xie Shu said solemnly like a little adult, "In my heart, mother is the most important thing, and I'm happy when she's happy!"

"..."

"His Royal Highness..."

There were guards outside the hall rushing to report, running a little anxiously along the way, panting, saying a word uncomfortably, Xie Yun walked out displeased.

"What's the matter?"

"Princess Princess..."

As soon as the guard came out, he saw that Xie Yun's expression was wrong, his mind was buzzing, and he suddenly thought of something, and immediately changed his words: "It's the former princess of Nanling County, Mrs. Jiang is begging to see you outside the palace!"

Xie Yun was secretly taken aback, Jiang Nan is here?

"Does she miss a child?" Xie Yun coughed lightly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Please come in to see me."

After getting the order, the guard did not leave, hesitatingly said: "Mrs. Jiang said please greet His Royal Highness, but she wants to see Zong Yue."

"???" Xie Yun's face froze.

"..."

Zong Yue's legs gave way when he was named, and he almost fell to the ground. He stuttered in shock: "Want... want to see me? Why... why?"

"I don't know."

"It's very sunny outside, please invite people in first!" Zong Yue was frightened, but his face was filled with an intriguing smile.

Seeing Xie Yun, the fire in his heart was extremely strong, his eyes were calm, and he asked: "When did you have friendship with Jiang Nan?"

"No!" Zong Yue said desperately, "Maybe she just doesn't want to trouble His Highness, so His Highness wants to go and see her?"

"I don't see you! I don't want to see you! It's not me that she's looking for, why should I see her? How big of a face does she make me rush to see her?" Xie Yun lost all reason and couldn't help but growl.

"Then I'll go and see you now to see what's going on? I'll report to His Highness when I come back!" Zong Yue pursed his lips, with a smile that couldn't be hidden in his eyes, and he wanted to leave cheerfully.

"Wait!"

"..."

Hearing Xie Yun's calm voice as usual, Zong Yue's heart felt chilly.

Under the leadership of the guards, Jiang Nan and Sheng Ning were led to the west study room, which was in the shade because there was no sun exposure.

Open the window sill, the breeze is blowing, and the whole body is refreshed.

Jiang Nan stood in a daze, remembering the years when she was a ghost, she was almost trapped in the East Palace, seeing all the prosperity, but unable to feel a single plant or tree.

"Didn't you ask the prince? Why did you change to Zongyue? Just a bodyguard, how much wealth can you lend us?" Sheng Ning couldn't bear to think of Zongyue being cheated out of his money.

"I fell out with the prince last night, he probably won't see me." Jiang Nan replied sullenly.

Sheng Ning was so angry that he reached out and poked Jiang Nan's head, and reprimanded lightly: "Why are you still being petty? Do you have a big picture? Are you afraid that he will send the child back to you in a fit of anger?"

"Then I'll put it in Prince Qin's Mansion, it's just as safe." Jiang Nan poked her neck and looked stubborn, "Didn't you say that? He is my enemy, and I don't want to have anything to do with him!"

Sheng Ning was stunned, it's not a good sign for a woman to be emotionally affected by a man.

Zong Yue walked in from the door of the house, in order to avoid being gossiped by others, he deliberately did not close the door, the gloating that he had just faced Xie Yunshi just now was gone.

"I don't know why Madam is looking for me?" Zong Yue asked in a hurry, his expression flustered and his eyes wandering.

Jiang Nan nodded slightly: "His Royal Highness said that he knows where my mother's grave is. I think he knows, and the adults must also know. I wonder if it is convenient for you to take me to worship?"

Hearing this, Zong Yue swallowed, took a step back, and refused, "It's inconvenient, I don't know."

"How could it be? You are His Royal Highness's personal bodyguard, and you have always been inseparable." Jiang Nan looked surprised, and did not expect such a result at all.

"It's not always inseparable. For example, when you returned to Beijing from Nanling, I didn't know anything about what happened between Your Highness and you!" Zong Yue said.

This statement is very suspicious of intentionally misleading people.

"..." Jiang Nan blushed.

Sheng Ning's probing eyes scanned Jiang Nan.

After pondering for a while, Jiang Nan obviously didn't believe it, and said with a wry smile: "Why do you have to joke about this kind of thing? Is His Royal Highness the only one who knows? Did he dig a pit and bury the body he collected for my mother? How is this possible?"

Zong Yue lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"Okay, I see. It's simply His Royal Highness talking nonsense, joking about this kind of thing?"

"..." Zong Yue lowered his eyes and did not answer.

Jiang Nan was so angry that she wanted to leave immediately. She was insane to believe that Xie Yun knew where her mother's grave was!

How is this possible without relatives?

As soon as she opened her legs, she was pulled back by Sheng Ning. She regained her composure and secretly let herself go.

Sheng Ning squeezed out a smile, and said softly: "It's okay, your lord saved Ding Dong's life, we are very grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts, prepare some thin wine in Yuhua Lane at night, thank you well, and please watch your face!"

The tone was polite and respectful, but Zong Yue broke out in a cold sweat.

"If you don't come tonight, I will invite you tomorrow, and I will invite you every day until Lord Zongyue rewards you!" Jiang Nan said goodbye with a smile and left.

After the people left, a figure walked out from the screen partition, standing in the shadow, without discerning expression.

Zong Yue let out a long sigh, and said triumphantly: "Your Highness, I dare not go to the Hongmen banquet at night, my lord, you can bear it!"

Xie Yun snorted coldly: "Get out."
