He Shuzhen saw that He Shulan remained silent, and wondered what she was thinking: "Don't just sit there and keep silent."

"I can't promise you to get him out of the cell first. I'll talk to the prince about the situation first and then I'll get back to you."

He Shuzhen was very happy that He Shulan was willing to help: "Okay."

The two of them had a bad relationship. After they finished talking about the matter, there was nothing more to talk about, so He Shuzhen left the Prince's Mansion.

He Shulan sat in the living room, asking the servants from time to time whether the prince had returned.

It was not until dark that she saw the figure of the prince. She hurried over and asked, "Why did you come back only now?"

"Recently, I have been coming back at this time every day, don't you know that?" the prince replied in confusion.

Perhaps He Shulan couldn't wait to know about Tan Shaocong: "Look at my memory."

The prince then asked, "You waited here for me to come back. Is there something going on?"

"I want to ask you if you have caught Tan Shaocong."

Seeing He Shulan's excited face, the prince smiled faintly: "Yes, how did you know about this?"

He Shulan was surprised. "It was He Shuzhen who came to me and said that her friend was arrested and put in jail. She asked me to help get him out. After asking carefully, I found out that the person she asked me to help get out was Tan Shaocong."

The prince fell into deep thought: "How could Tan Shaocong become He Shuzhen's friend?"

"I don't know either, and I think it's very strange. I asked about how they met, and He Shuzhen just answered me casually. Seeing that she refused to tell the truth, I stopped asking."

The prince told He Shulan what Tan Shaocong had done.

He Shulan never thought that the illness of the people in Beijing would be related to Tan Shaocong: "You have a good relationship with him, why would he do this?"

"That's what I want to know. I've tortured them these days, but they're just stubborn and refuse to tell me what happened. It makes me so worried."

As he spoke, the prince warned, "So don't get involved in this matter. I will never let Tan Shaocong go."

He Shulan knew the seriousness of the matter and naturally would not make trouble from it: "I always feel that things are not that simple. There must be someone behind Tan Shaocong."

"Of course I know, but if Tan Shaocong doesn't tell me, I have no idea who it is."

He Shulan had no way to help the prince with this matter. Seeing that the prince's expression was becoming more and more solemn, she stopped talking.

Thinking of He Shuzhen, he began to worry again: "If I go back to He Shuzhen and can't help her get the man out of the cell, she will definitely come to the Old Palace to find me every day."

The prince smiled and said, "This problem is easy to solve. Go live at your grandfather's house for a while, and come back when the storm has passed."

"That's a good idea. She's not in the Prince's Mansion, so it's useless for He Shuzhen to come to her house." He Shulan didn't continue the topic. "Fortunately, Tao Lan is not with him anymore, otherwise how could she bear it."

The prince agreed with He Shulan: "I used to think Tan Shaocong was a good person, but now I think he is a dangerous person. It is better to keep a distance from him."

He Shulan nodded solemnly and asked Chunxia to bring the bird's nest with rock sugar that had been frozen in the kitchen to the prince: "The weather has been dry recently, and I noticed that you kept coughing. I made this especially for you. Eat it quickly and go back to your room to rest."

Since being with He Shulan, the prince's diet and daily life have been arranged in an orderly manner, and he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Subconsciously held He Shulan's hand.

He Shulan sat there stiffly, her fair cheeks turning red. She was startled by the prince's sudden action.

But she did not reject the prince's closeness. Instead, she liked it very much and did not break free from his hand.

After eating the candied pear, the prince took He Shulan's hand and walked her back to her room.

Seeing this scene, Chunxia excitedly grabbed Qiudong's hand and said, "That's great. The Princess has been married to the Prince's Mansion for so long, and finally the clouds have cleared and the moon is shining."

Qiu Dong nodded in agreement: "The princess is very good, it's normal for the prince to like her."

Chunxia stretched out her finger and pointed at Qiudong's head: "You are a good talker, I think you are right, the princess is really good."

It's just dawn.

He Shulan asked Chunxia and Qiudong to pack their luggage.

This made the two of them confused. Yesterday, the Princess and the Prince left hand in hand, but today they were asked to pack up their things.

Chun Xia hesitantly advised: "Princess of the County, even if you quarreled with the County Prince, you don't have to run away from home. You still have the old lady behind you, and she will definitely help you."

He Shulan was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to react: "When did I quarrel with the prince?"

"You two, since you didn't have a fight, why did you pack up and run away from home?"

He Shulan laughed out loud: "It's my fault for not explaining it to you clearly. In order to get rid of He Shuzhen's entanglement, the prince asked me to live at my grandfather's house for a while."

"So that's how it is." This made Chunxia and Qiudong feel relieved. Seeing that He Shulan didn't explain the details, they didn't ask any further.

Instead, continue packing until everything is packed up.

The master and his two servants got on a carriage and came to Tao's house.

Bai Fei looked at He Shulan standing at the door, his face full of worry: "Why did you come to Tao's house so early? Did something happen in the Prince's house?"

He Shulan held Bai Fei's hand and said, "I'm fine. Nothing happened in the Prince's Mansion. It was Tan Shaocong who was arrested. He Shuzhen came to me and asked me to help get Tan Shaocong out of the cell. I can't do it. In order to get rid of her entanglement, I plan to stay with you for a while."

Bai Fei didn't understand what was said, but she understood that Tan Shaocong was arrested, so she asked curiously, "Why was Tan Shaocong arrested?"

He Shulan didn't explain too much and briefly told Bai Fei everything.

Bai Fei thankfully said, "Fortunately, I strongly opposed Tao Lan being with her at the time. Otherwise, Tao Lan would have had a hard time and her life would have been ruined."

"This is called good deeds are rewarded. Tao Lan helped the sick people in the capital, and God let her escape this disaster."

"Yes." Bai Fei was extremely excited: "I will go up the mountain to burn incense and pray to the Buddha tomorrow, and pray that all of you are safe and sound."

"Okay, let's talk about tomorrow tomorrow. Aunt, the most important thing for you now is to arrange a room for me." As He Shulan lay in bed last night, the image of the prince holding her hand kept appearing in her mind.

She fell asleep very late. She got up too early this morning and wanted to lie in bed and rest for a while.

Bai Fei took He Shulan's hand and walked into the mansion: "I will arrange the largest and most comfortable guest room in the mansion for you."
