After hearing Xie Huaijing's words, Shen Yan finally understood his intention.

He was here to help her.

It's just that this gang's methods... are a little different. It's indeed Xie Huaijing's style of doing things that makes people unable to figure it out.

She knew that what Xie Huaijing said was a lie, but she did not refute it, otherwise the Queen Mother would label them both as deceivers, and it would be even more difficult to end it.

The Queen Mother's face was very ugly. She didn't want to keep Shen Yan alive. She wanted to save Shen Yan's life.

She wanted to deal with Shen Yan but she couldn't make it public, and of course she couldn't say it in front of Xie Huaijing.

Seeing that Xie Huaijing cared about Shen Yan very much, although the King of Zhennan had passed away, his remaining power was still there, so it would not be so easy to touch Shen Yan in the future.

When the Queen Mother's thoughts were changing a thousand times, Xie Huaijing spoke again.

"Grandma Imperial, is it possible that you have finished eating and your grandson is late?"

"You came too early, the meal hasn't been served yet!" The Queen Mother said with a straight face. She thought that if Xie Huaijing came a little later, she would take care of Shen Yan.

"That's such a pity. My grandson had an empty belly and was suffering from hunger. He couldn't wait for the meal from the imperial grandmother, so he took Yan'er out of the palace. Please forgive me." Xie Huaijing said.

The Queen Mother twitched the corner of her mouth, Xie Huaijing usually acted casually, but he was not showy in his work.

She also figured it out at this time. Xie Huaijing said that these twists and turns were all to save Shen Yan.

"Miss Shen, the Ai family underestimated you, so they broke off the engagement with the third emperor's grandson of the Ai family, and then hooked up with the prince of Zhennan. You don't want to marry someone who is not a royal family, right?"

The Queen Mother sarcastically said, "Not everyone can marry into the royal family, especially someone with bad behavior like you, don't even think about it!"

After she finished speaking, she taught Xie Huaijing a lesson, "Jing'er, you too, if you fall in love with someone, you will fall in love with someone your third brother doesn't want. What's so good about such a woman? If you want to start a family, the Ai family can find a marriage for you. Guaranteed to be better than this.”

"Royal Grandmother!" The smile on Xie Huaijing's face gradually disappeared, "Shen Yan is the person who is most dear to me. Isn't it inappropriate for you to slander the future Crown Princess of Zhennan Palace like this?"

"You!" The Queen Mother's face was filled with anger. She did not expect that Xie Huaijing would dare to contradict her for Shen Yan.

Xie Huaijing continued, "Emperor Grandmother, it's not that Shen Yan won't marry anyone who is not a member of the royal family, it's a member of the royal family who begged her to marry her. The third brother was like this back then, and I am the same now. She took the initiative to break off the engagement with her third brother, and so My uncle approved it, but if the imperial grandmother still uses this as an argument, does it not be disrespectful to your status as the queen mother?"

"Xie Huaijing, are you trying to teach the Ai family a lesson?" the Queen Mother slapped the table and shouted.

Xie Huaijing smiled instead, "Grandma Huang, look, your grandson hasn't said anything to you yet, but you are so angry. You just scolded Yan'er so unpleasantly, and she didn't reply to you even a word. Who is lecturing whom? "

Shen Yan glanced at Xie Huaijing. She didn't want to go back to the Queen Mother. It was Xie Huaijing who had been arguing with the Queen Mother in order to protect her. It was hard for her to interrupt.

The Queen Mother asked Xie Huaijing, "As the Queen Mother, can't I teach her a lesson?"

Xie Huaijing fired back, "She didn't do anything wrong, why did the Imperial Grandmother teach her a lesson?"

The Queen Mother was speechless and flushed.

"Royal grandmother, your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't worry about your children and grandchildren." Xie Huaijing reminded the Queen Mother not to be too lenient. Of course, he knew that the Queen Mother troubled Shen Yan because of Shen Qingqing.

"I'm so hungry after talking so much, Yan'er, are you hungry?" Xie Huaijing didn't care about the Queen Mother's face. He just wanted to take Shen Yan away safely.

Shen Yan was quite cooperative, "I'm hungry."

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner." Xie Huaijing smiled and said to the Queen Mother, "Grandmother, my grandson has to leave first. If you miss us, when your grandson is free, you can bring Yan'er to pay your respects."

After he finished speaking, without waiting for the Queen Mother to answer, he took Shen Yan's hand and left.

The Queen Mother was so angry that her face was livid, her whole body was shaking, and she pushed the plate with pears next to her to the ground.

She gritted her teeth for a long time before yelling out, "King Zhennan, you really raised a good son! If you die, your son will still come to fight against the Ai family!"

"And Shen Yan! None of you take the Ai family seriously, do you really think the Ai family is easy to bully?!"

The Queen Mother was furious, and everyone in the palace knelt on the ground, not daring to express their anger. For a moment, the entire Cining Palace was shrouded in gloom.

Xie Huaijing left the Cining Palace, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his peach blossom eyes were cold and stern, completely different from the indifferent look he had just shown in the palace.

Shen Yan looked sideways, feeling warm in her heart. She asked softly, "How did you know that I came to the palace?"

"Lin Xiaoliu told me." Xie Huaijing said.

Shen Yan knew that Xie Huaijing sent people to pay attention to her movements, "It's not worth offending the Queen Mother for me."

"It's worth it." Xie Huaijing said without hesitation, "You are worth anything I can do for you."

Shen Yan pursed her lips and said nothing. She felt that Xie Huaijing's tone was too sincere, especially his clear eyes, as if another word of rejection from her would cause indelible harm to Xie Huaijing.

"Ha ha……"

At this moment, a mocking voice came from the side.

Shen Yan raised her eyes and saw that it was Xie Chengyu. They were really enemies.

"I didn't expect that the prince of Zhennan likes to pick up rags. I don't want it, but the prince treats it as a treasure. It's really embarrassing."

Xie Chengyu has always been a steady and gentle person, but before Shen Yan deposed his secret guards and humiliated him, he never found a suitable opportunity to take revenge on Shen Yan.

Just now they met and heard Xie Huaijing say those words, he couldn't help but ridicule him.

Without saying a word, Xie Huaijing quickly walked up to Xie Chengyu, grabbed Xie Chengyu's collar with one hand, made a fist with the other hand, and punched Xie Chengyu hard in the lower abdomen.

Before Xie Chengyu could scream, he covered Xie Chengyu's mouth and said coldly in his ear -

"I remember I warned you, if I hear you scold Shen Yan one more time, I will beat you up!"

After he finished speaking, he pushed Xie Chengyu away.

Xie Chengyu clutched his stomach and bent over in pain, "Xie Huaijing, you dare to attack me, do you know what the crime should be?"

"Don't frame me falsely. Who saw me doing it? Do you have evidence?" Xie Huaijing started acting rogue again.

It was also because there was no one around that Xie Chengyu cursed people regardless of his image.

Xie Chengyu was speechless.

Emperor Xuande had always doted on Xie Huaijing. Even if he told Emperor Xuande that Xie Huaijing had done something to him, Emperor Xuande probably wouldn't believe it.

He can only suffer the loss of being dumb.

"What I said still counts, and the beatings are getting harder every time. If you don't believe me, you can try it!" After Xie Huaijing finished threatening, he pulled Shen Yan away and left.

When Shen Yan and Xie Chengyu passed by, her cold voice floated into Xie Chengyu's ears--
