Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Jiang Peihuan truly wasn’t sleepy at this moment. Xiao Nanye did not respond verbally. Instead, he pulled out a bamboo flute from his robe.

Jiang Peihuan looked on with a touch of surprise as Xiao Nanye brought the flute.

Shortly after, the melodic tones filled the room. Its sound was soothing and relaxing. She felt at ease.

Sitting by Jiang Peihuan’s bedside, Xiao Nanye played the flute, his sight never took off from her.

Whether it was because of Xiao Nanye’s presence or the calming tunes of the flute, Jiang Peihuan started feeling drowsy.

Xiao Nanye’s tune became even more gentle. A few moments later, her breathing evened out in sleep.

Xiao Nanye stopped playing.

After carefully tucking Jiang Peihuan in, Xiao Nanye made his way out of the room.

“Guard her closely.”

“Yes.”

Ye Xiao was standing outside the door. She promptly bowed in acknowledgment.

Subsequently, Xiao Nanye left the General’s mansion.

By early dawn, Han Feng returned to Cheng Mansion.

Approaching Xiao Nanye’s study, he noticed the candlelight still flickering inside. Han Feng gently knocked on the door. “Master?”

“Come in.”

Hearing the voice from inside, Han Feng opened the door.

After taking two steps forward and bowing to Xiao Nanye, Han Feng spoke softly, “Master, I have found out that the snake is Princess Zhuo Ma’s pet.”

“Where is she?”

“At the post station.”

“Take the mansion guards and surround the post station.”

“Yes.”

Post Station.

An hour later, Xiao Nanye, dressed in black, walked into the post station. The whole place was brightly lit. Ha Chi greeted him as he came out. After bowing to Xiao Nanye, Ha Chi asked softly, “Your Highness, may I ask the reason for your visit at this late hour?”

In these few days, Ha Chi had come to understand the intricate relationships among the city’s influential figures.

Thus, he was acutely aware of the immense power and influence wielded by the figure now standing before him, King Cheng.

“I came here late at night not to seek you but to find Princess Zhuo Ma.”

“Zhuo Ma?”

“Has Zhuo Ma offended you in some way?”

Thinking back to the hurried manner in which Zhuo Ma had recently left the post station, Ha Chi couldn’t help but frown.

He truly regretted it now. If he had known earlier that Zhuo Ma would be so restless, he wouldn’t have brought her from the grasslands, despite her beauty.

“First Prince, are you aware that Princess Zhuo Ma attempted to harm my future queen by using a snake?”

Han Feng, who stood beside Xiao Nanye, directly addressed Ha Chi upon hearing his words.

Hearing this, Ha Chi’s expression fluctuated.

The eldest miss of the General’s mansion. The influence and stature of the

General’s mansion in the capital was not to be underestimated.

This was the information Ha Chi had gathered over the past few days.

“King Cheng, could there be some misunderstanding regarding this matter?”

“Han Feng, bring the thing over.”

“Yes.”

Shortly after, Han Feng approached Ha Chi with a box, he directly opened it.

A strong, pungent odor of blood emanated from the box. Inside lay a snake, chopped into several sections.

Ha Chi’s complexion shifted, and his already troubled expression became even graver.

“It seems, you recognizes this snake.” Noticing the recognition in his eyes, Xiao Nanye chuckled.

Ha Chi nodded in acknowledgment.

This colorful snake was unique to their grassland tribes, and he couldn’t deny it.

“Where is Princess Zhuo Ma?”

“She has entered the palace.”

“Thank you for informing, First Prince.”

With that, Xiao Nanye turned and left directly.

Watching Xiao Nanye’s departing figure, Ha Chi hurriedly caught up, “King Cheng, this matter concerns my grassland tribe, 1 will accompany you.”

Saying so, Ha Chi mounted his horse.

Sitting atop his steed, Zhui Yun, Xiao Nanye seemed lost in thought, then suddenly instructed Han Feng beside him, “Go to the General’s mansion and ask Jiang Peihuan to come to the palace.”

“Yes.”

Han Feng raised his whip.

At this time, Jiang Peihuan had already gotten up. She was about to go to the city as she walked into the courtyard, she saw Han Feng descending from the sky.

Xiao Nanye loves to climb over the wall to visit her every day instead of walking through the front gate, Like his master, Han Feng shared the same habit.

“Eldest Miss?”

Han Feng walked up to Jiang Peihuan and bowed respectfully.

Waving her hand dismissively, Jiang Peihuan softly asked, “Why have you come?”

“Eldest Miss, the master has identified the owner of the snake. He has requested you to visit the palace.”

“Whose snake is it?”

“Princess Zhuo Ma.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan wasn’t surprised at all. Such a venomous snake could only come from the grassland tribes.

“Elder sister?”

“Eldest sister?”

Jiang Sijin and Jiang Ruyun entered the plum garden.

Seeing the two of them, Jiang Peihuan said softly,” I have something to deal with. You guys go to the city first.”

“Yes.”

“Elder Sister, do you have something to deal with? Do you need my help?”

“It’s just a small matter.”

Jiang Peihuan didn’t want to share the events of the previous night with the household to avoid unnecessary worry.

After sending Jiang Sijin and Jiang Ruyun on their way, Jiang Peihuan followed Han Feng to the palace.

Upon reaching the palace gates, Jiang Peihuan noticed Xiao Nanye waiting.

The man was draped in the white cloak that she had tailored for him. Hearing her approach, he turned to face her.

“Huan Er?”

A hint of warmth flashed in Xiao Nanye’s eyes.

Inside the palace, horses were prohibited.

As Jiang Peihuan prepared to dismount, she noticed Xiao Nanye extending a hand to assist her. Placing her hand in his, she gracefully alighted from her horse.

“Let’s go in.”

“You don’t have to worry about this matter. Leave it to me.”

Without the emperor’s decree, no one was allowed to enter the palace, but no one dared to stop them.

Once inside the palace, Xiao Nanye turned to Jiang Peihuan.

With his words, she nodded.

Initially, Jiang Peihuan had intended to resolve this matter privately. However, now that Xiao Nanye had escalated the situation, she will go with the flow.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Qi Ming had just risen when he heard Wang Kun’s report.

Of all the names mentioned, he only caught onto Xiao Nanye’s. “What’s that fellow doing here so early in the morning?” he whispered.

” I am not sure.”

“But, the eldest miss from the Jiang family, as well as Prince Ha Chi and Princess Zhuo Ma, have also arrived too..”
