"His Royal Highness, please exercise restraint!" Jiang Nan wrapped herself in a quilt, rolled to the innermost part of the bed, and lay down against the wall.

In the darkness, Xie Yun blinked his deep eyes, and said with a smile: "I thought you went to bed at the next hour just to have trouble with me until dawn!"

"Daybreak?" Jiang Nan was dumbfounded, she never knew that the man's affectionate eyes were as hot and dangerous as jackals and leopards under the cover of the night.

She reprimanded warily: "I can't stand it, you go find a concubine!"

Xie Yun approached her, gently rubbed her only exposed earlobe with his fingertips, and smiled instead of anger: "Since you heard that I have an outhouse, why didn't you ask me?"

"You have already raised him, what can I do?" Jiang Nan shrank her shoulders, turned around, and turned her back to him.

Xie Yun pulled her towards him, whispered in her ear: "You can make noise, you can make noise, you can even point at my nose and call me heartless, you said you don't allow anyone to share your husband! "

Jiang Nan looked sideways, looking at Xie Yun like a fool: "Are you crazy? Or do you think I'm crazy?"

Xie Yun sighed: "But you didn't, you treated me as usual, you didn't even respond to going to bed, you didn't even feel depressed, and even invited the man next to you to the Town God's Temple!"

The more Xie Yun said, the more outrageous it became. The jealousy in the context was so sour that one's teeth were about to fall out.

"Get down!" Jiang Nan kicked Xie Yun, but he didn't move at all, but tightened his arms to hug her.

"You are too fickle, you don't care about me at all." Xie Yun said with grievance.

Jiang Nan was shocked, and shouted loudly: "You betrayed your heart, and it's my fault that you raised a concubine?"

"If you don't have an outer room, how dare you raise an outer room?" Xie Yun sniffed the scent of her neck, trapped her with hands and feet, and said with a playful smile, "I guard myself like a jade for the princess!"

Jiang Nan was so crushed that he couldn't move, but fortunately it was cold, and it was warmer to be squeezed like this, so he let him go.

"Liulang." Jiang Nan asked, "City God Temple Assassin, have you found out who it is?"

"There are three waves of people, one wave of the Chen family and King Qin, one wave of Da Zhou spies, and one wave..."

Xie Yun's sleepy and lazy voice suddenly stopped, Jiang Nan thought he was falling asleep, and after a long while, he continued: "I haven't found it yet, but the other party seems to have no ill intentions towards you, and it was Da Zhou who did the killing. The spies have been wiped out by me, and I will give them a big gift tomorrow to avenge you!"

Jiang Nan was stunned, had he wronged the concubine Duan?

Why didn't Concubine Duan justify?
Wasn't Mrs. Zheng Guo instigated by concubine Duan?
If Concubine Duan did not collude with Mrs. Zheng Guo, it means Mrs. Zheng Guo discovered the scroll by herself, then has anyone else seen the scroll?

Jiang Nan was worried. If anyone else had seen the painting scroll, her crisis had not passed, and she would be in big trouble now.

The next day, at Zheng Guogong's mansion, plain onyx was knotted on the gate.

Mrs. Zheng Guo is a married woman. Because she asked for a title from the emperor, she lived in Zheng Guogong's mansion in a grand manner. Zheng Guogong's female family dared not speak out.

Right now Mrs. Zheng Guo is in a sudden misfortune. No matter how displeased Zheng Guogong is, he dare not drive her out directly because of his reputation.

The mourning hall had to be located in Zheng Guogong's mansion.

Mrs. Zheng Guo returned to Beijing this time, and the autumn wind was everywhere. It was all friendship on the scene. There were not many people who treated her sincerely. In the mourning hall, there was no one else except Mrs. Zheng Guo and her son and daughter kneeling and burning paper.

When Jiang Nan walked in, Mrs. Zheng Guo's daughter rushed out, pointing at Jiang Nan and saying, "You killed my mother!"

"Yu Niang!" Mrs. Zheng Guo's son dragged his sister back and forced Zheng Yuniang to salute Jiang Nan. "The Crown Princess forgives my sin, but my mother passed away suddenly. Yuniang is overly sad, and if she is rude, please punish me."

Zheng Yuniang and Zheng Shilin were originally not named Zheng, but were forcibly changed by Mrs. Zheng Guo after entering Beijing.

Zheng Shilin is in his twenties this year, and he is still unmarried. After Shuxiu, he was fostered in Zheng Guogong's mansion. It is said that Mrs. Zheng Guo looked down on girls born in poor villages and wanted to find a noble daughter from the imperial capital to come back as a wife. Will he look up to Zheng Shilin who has nothing?
If you delay like this, you will get older.

"It's okay, I'll offer incense sticks to Mrs. Zheng Guo." Jiang Nan took the incense sticks from the servants and bowed three times.

"Mother! If you know something underground, tell me who is the murderer of you!" Zheng Yuniang cried bitterly.

"Yu Niang, don't talk nonsense! Both Tiance Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion sent people to say that Mother died at the hands of the assassins of Dazhou spies, so what has she to do with the Crown Princess?" Zheng Shilin scolded, "Just cry well, don't No more embarrassment!"

"Brother, mother is gone, what should I do?" Zheng Yuniang cried loudly.

Jiang Nan watched coldly, and waited patiently for the siblings to finish crying before walking over. Thinking that Zheng Shilin was more sensible than Zheng Yuniang, she asked, "Mr. Zheng, can you move forward and have a chat?"

Zheng Shilin was stunned, got up subconsciously, and walked to the open space outside the courtyard first. When Jiang Nan came to him, he said politely: "What does the princess want to ask?"

"Madame Zheng Guo asked me to go to the Town God's Temple before she died. She wanted to tell me some old stories about King Beichen and Concubine Duan. Unexpectedly, an assassin attacked and Madam Zheng Guo was assassinated. I have an unshirkable responsibility. I got her involved! If If you brothers and sisters encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, and I will help if I can!" Jiang Nan pinched the veil and tucked the corners of her eyes, pretending that she had some special affection for Mrs. Zheng Guo.

Make people feel that Mrs. Zheng Guo's death has hit her hard, and she feels very guilty.

Sure enough, Zheng Shilin grasped the point, he frowned and said, "What's the past between King Beichen and Concubine Duan?"

"Mrs. Zheng Guo was silenced without making a clear statement. I only heard her mention something like a painting scroll. Have you ever seen it?" Jiang Nan's eyes flickered slightly, with a very sad expression.

Zheng Shilin's face was wrinkled, and he thought over and over again, before he said seriously: "It seems there is! The other day, my mother said that we are going to fly to the top! It is true that I am holding a painting scroll..."

"Have you seen the contents inside?" Jiang Nan asked impatiently.

Zheng Shilin regretted: "No."

"Then has your sister seen it?" Jiang Nan asked again.

"Not to mention, during that time, Yuniang was living in Prince Beichen's mansion, and she was not at home. Mother always said that Yuniang was too straightforward and couldn't hide things, so she would not tell her anything easily." Zheng Shilin said righteously.

"……"Very good.

Jiang Nan put her heart in her stomach.

But she couldn't be too happy, she tried her best to frown, and muttered: "That's such a pity."

After a pause, he repeated: "If you have any difficulties in the future, come to me."

After saying that, Jiang Nan turned around and left. Before taking two steps, a soft shout came from behind.

"Princess."

Jiang Nan turned around, Zheng Shilin couldn't speak, he held back for a long time before saying: "Painting scroll..."

"???" Jiang Nan's heart rose to her throat again. (end of this chapter)
