Prince Xie’s Mansion, study.

What caught the eye were yellowed ancient books and ink-stained scrolls scattered everywhere, and mountains of manuscripts and undried ink on the desk.

In the center of the study, a thin man was lying on the ground like an abandoned puppet, his face pale and his expression depressed.

He was lying on the ground with papers scattered all over the floor, holding a jar of wine in his arms.

The mottled mud seal on the wine jar had broken, and the wine overflowed from the jar, dripping along his fingertips to the ground, wetting the pages beneath him, but he didn't care.

There were several empty wine jars lying on the ground around them. The air was filled with a strong smell of wine, intertwined with the scent of ink from the study.

Xie Luochen's clothes were scattered on the floor, mixed with the scattered manuscripts and scrolls. The whole study seemed to be shrouded in a depressing atmosphere.

"Sir!"

"Get out!"

A servant suddenly rushed in. Xie Luochen, who was lying on the ground, looked fierce in an instant and threw the jar of wine in his hand at him.

The servant was knocked out by the wine jar. He looked at the mess in the room with a look of pity in his eyes.

These ancient books were the prince's favorites before. He spent several years asking a master to restore them and then seal them up properly.

But more than a month ago, the prince came back from outside the city, and no one knew what happened, but he suddenly went crazy and tore up all the books that he once treasured.

He also changed his previous style and indulged in drinking and pleasure, completely disregarding his own health.

Princess Xie came to persuade him once a few days ago, but the prince talked nonsense after getting drunk, which deeply hurt Princess Xie's heart, so Princess Xie stopped coming.

Even Prince Xie, who had always been a secluded monk, was alarmed, but he was unable to persuade the prince.

For more than a month, the prince hid in the study, seeing no one, and drinking all day long.

"Sir..."

“Don’t you understand when I told you to get out?” Xie Luochen sat up from the ground, his scattered hair mixed with wine stuck to his chin, looking disheveled.

Hearing this, the servant felt very embarrassed.

Just now, Miss Nan sent someone to deliver a letter and asked him to deliver it. But the prince is in this state now, who dares to offend him?

But the people sent by the Nan family repeatedly reminded him to make sure the letter was delivered to the prince, so he couldn't just take the money and not do the job.

Finally, he said with gritted teeth: "Sir, Miss Nan Yuan sent someone to deliver a letter to you."

As he said this, he stuffed the letter through the crack in the door.

I hope Miss Nan Yuan's letter can help the prince cheer up again.

When Xie Luochen heard this, disdain flashed in his eyes.

It was probably Nan Jiamu who told Nan Yuan that he was infertile.

you do not say!

Nan Jiamu is Nan Yuan's biological brother, so how could he watch her jump into the fire pit? Naturally, he had told Nan Yuan a long time ago.

As for Nan Yuan writing this letter to him, was it either because she came to laugh at him or because she felt pity for a disabled person like him like everyone else?

Are you here to cancel the engagement?

That's right, she had already hooked up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so why would she look back?

Although he thought so, Xie Luochen still crawled over, picked up the letter on the ground, leaned against the door, tore open the envelope, and took out the letter inside.

But as he looked, his dim eyes suddenly changed.

Nan Yuan actually wants to... continue this marriage.

He read the letter over and over again to make sure that he was not mistaken and that Nan Yuan really wanted to continue with the engagement.

She dares to fulfill the engagement, but I don’t?

She is the prince's woman. If I marry her, I would be courting death!

court death?

Yes! He really wanted to die. Not only did he want to die himself, he also wanted everyone to die!

Why is he the only one who has to suffer like this in such a big world?

He is infertile and has no children or grandchildren. This is all due to his good parents. They gave him so many medicines since he was a child. The doctors even said that if he had not taken too many medicines when he was a child, he would not be like this now!

It’s good to marry the prince’s woman!

娶!

After getting married, he encountered a disaster that destroyed his entire clan!

Let's all die together!

Hahahahahahahaha, yes, let’s all die together!

"Listen to the bamboo!"

The servant who had just been knocked out ran back immediately.

"Prince, what do you want?"

He looked at Xie Luochen, not knowing what was different, but he just felt that the prince was different from before.

Xie Luochen looked at his wrinkled clothes and said, "Go find me some clothes, and have someone bring me a basin of water."

"okay!"

Tingzhu knew that his own prince must have recovered. It turned out that the words of the young lady from the Nan family were effective!

If I had known this earlier, I would have gone to find Miss Nan Yuan early in the morning to persuade the prince.

The next day.

The Nan Mansion's carriage slowly drove towards the Qingliang Terrace early in the morning.

inside the carriage.

Nan Yuan nervously tugged at her sleeve, staring at the scenery rapidly receding outside the car window, but her heart could not calm down.

She had made all the necessary preparations and was 80% confident about what would happen today, but she was still a little nervous.

"What are you so nervous about?" Nan Jiamu looked calm and was in a good mood to eat cakes.

"This doesn't taste good. Don't take it next time." Nan Jiamu asked Nan Yuan while instructing Yue Ran and Bai Zhi who were accompanying them.

"Yes, sir." Yue Ran answered.

"Come, have a piece." Nan Jiamu put the pastry in front of Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan frowned and brushed away the pastry handed to her by Nan Jiamu. She really wasn't in the mood for it.

"Brother, what do you think about what I told you yesterday?" Nan Yuan asked in a low voice.

When the birds are gone, the bows are put away; when the rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked. She was really afraid that in the end, her entire family would become victims.

Nan Jiamu put down the cake in his hand, patted Nan Yuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother plans to surrender."

"Hand in the military token, and according to your military merits, you will get a stable official position, which is enough for you to be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life. Don't worry!"

Even though Nan Jiamu said it so easily, he was actually still a little reluctant in his heart.

After hearing Nan Jiamu let go, Nan Yuan's brows were still tightly furrowed, as there was still a stone in her heart that she had not let go.

"Why are you still frowning? Is there something you haven't resolved?" Nan Jiamu asked when he saw Nan Yuan frowning.

"No, nothing." Nan Yuan denied it flatly.

Nan Jiamu did not agree with her marriage to Xie Luochen. If she told Xie Luochen about this in advance, it would probably cause more trouble. It would be better for her to explain it to Nan Jiamu after this matter was settled.

Nan Jiamu squinted his eyes and looked at Nan Yuan, thinking that she must be hiding something from him, but she didn't say anything. Besides, she was already irritable, so asking more would only make her nervous. So he decided to ask after the banquet was over.

royal palace.

"You mean I can see the girl tonight?" The queen's face was full of joy.

The emperor nodded and said, "When I sent someone to convey my decree, I specifically asked Nan Jiamu to bring his sister along. You will definitely be able to see that girl tonight."

When the queen heard this, she couldn't hide the smile on her face, which made the emperor feel a little jealous.

"She's just a little girl, why are you so happy?" The emperor really didn't understand why the queen was like this.

Hearing this, the Queen raised her head and looked at the Emperor, saying, "Didn't you notice that Heng'er treats this girl differently?"

The emperor nodded, but didn't care much and said, "It is indeed unusual, but Heng'er has his own reasons for doing things, so we don't need to interfere."

The emperor didn't want the queen to be distracted by anyone other than him, even if it was his own son.

The queen glared at the emperor and said unhappily, "As a father, how come you don't even care about your son's lifelong affairs?"
