"Third... Third Prince..." King Ren's voice trembled as he called out, his legs weakening, almost collapsing to the ground.

  Nangong Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he withdrew his gaze from him.

  "Pass Xiao Zhan over."

  Wang Ren nodded repeatedly, "Yes! I'll go right away!" After that, he rolled and crawled out of the room.

  In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xiao Zhan, an advisor from the Third Prince's mansion, appeared in the study.

  Xiao Zhan met with the Third Prince.

  "Sit down." said Nangong Chen in a cold voice.

  Xiao Zhuang found a chair and sat down, his hands clasped together on his knees, his eyes cast downward in silence.

  Nangong Chen looked at him and opened his mouth slowly after a moment, "Do you know what happened last night?"

  Xiao Zhuang nodded, "Reply to the Third Prince, I know a thing or two."

  "Zhong Qi has left, I need a confidant by my side, what advice do you have?"

  Xiao Zhuang hesitated for a moment, pondered for a while, and then asked, "I wonder if the Third Prince has found someone suitable?"

  Nangong Chen slowly raised his eyes, "How is Wang Ren?"

  Xiao Zhuang pursed his lips, rubbed his fingers together twice, and looked up at Nan Gong Chen. After a moment, he smiled slightly and said, "The third prince's vision is naturally very good. Wang Zongguan's thinking is meticulous, and over the years, he has managed the affairs of the mansion in an orderly manner, which is admirable. If the third prince summons Wang Zongguan, it will surely be a great help."

  In Nangong Chen's eyes, a hint of a smile finally appeared. He nodded his head, "Your vision, not bad."

  Xiao Zhuangqian smiled humbly and inwardly let out a sigh of relief.

  Afterwards, Nangong Chen asked a few more questions, and Xiao Zhan answered them one by one until deep into the night.

  "It's late at night, you should go back."

  Xiao Zhuang stood up, bowed and made a big courtesy. Immediately afterwards, he raised his eyes and looked at Nan Gong Chen, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "Anything else?" asked Nangong Chen.

  Xiao Zhuang thought for a moment, took a step forward, "Third Prince, a humble commoner has something to say, I don't know if it's suitable to say or not."

  "It doesn't matter what you say!"

  "The third prince, I heard Wang Zongguan talk about last night's events. There is a question in my mind." Xiao Zhuang paused for a moment and took a few more steps forward, his eyes flickering with movement, "I always feel that everything last night was intentional on the part of Feng Youyue."

  Nangong Chen's breath caught, his cold eyes lifted, and his sharp gaze fell on Xiao Zhan like a knife.

  He stared at Xiao Zhan for a long time before slowly opening his mouth and saying, "Continue speaking."

  Xiao Zhuang let out a breath and spoke slowly, "According to what Wang Zongguan said, yesterday was when Gonggong burst into Feng Youyue's boudoir in great anger. However, this humble commoner thinks there is something fishy about it."

  "Feng Youyue is now a 7th-level Xuan Shi, strong and robust. Even if he drank several jars of Peach Blossom Wine, how could he sleep until evening?"

  Nangong Chen's eyes narrowed dangerously, "You mean..."

  "The common people are thinking that perhaps Feng Youyue is intentionally not coming out, thereby infuriating Zhong Gonggong, and finally causing him to lose his rationality in a fit of rage, and then committing a grave mistake by entering the inner chamber."

  Nangong Chen's hand paused in mid-air as he was about to knock on the table.

  If this matter is really as Xiao Zhuang said, then Zhong Qi has been trapped in Feng Youyue's trap since he arrived at Wan Yueyuan.

  He was left to bask in the sun for an entire afternoon, and Zhong Qi's anger had already reached a boiling point. Next, in a fit of rage, he stormed into the inner chamber, intent on dragging out Feng Youyue.

  Feng Youyue had been waiting in the room for a long time, just waiting for Zhong Qi to put on her clothes.

  If things were really like this... then this woman's mind is too deep!

  Nangong Chen rubbed his chin, "Feng Youyue, she's just a foolish girl, how could she have such a clever mind?"

  "The Third Prince, that was in the past!" Xiao Zhan said.

  Nangong Chen used to be like that!

  "Send someone to keep an eye on Feng Youyue, and report all her movements to me." Nan Gongchen spoke up, giving the order.

  At this time, Nan Gong Chen did not know that his conversation with Xiao Zhan had already been heard clearly by the person on the roof...
