Xie Shu's lips trembled for a moment, and after a slight movement, he finally said, "Yes."

He knew that once he made his attitude clear, he would be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Yan Changqing.

But the real whereabouts of the Fourth Prince is too tempting.

Whether the child is alive or not is related to how he will make his next move.

Fortunately, Yan Changqing did not keep the story in suspense and started from the time when he was in the border town and his subordinates came to report that a child came to ask for shelter.

Xie Shu's eyebrows twitched anxiously, knowing that this was his grandson who was living among the people.

As the head of a noble family, he is the patriarch of the entire Xie family and has deep feelings for the family.

This feeling is also reflected in the care for children.

He was a very qualified father, and he couldn't bear to hear that his grandson, who should have grown up in luxury, suffered among the people.

But in fact, the suffering Yan Yuanan suffered was far more than Xie Shu had imagined.

"I know this child has an extraordinary background, but when I took him in, I never thought he would be your grandson."

Yan Changqing said: "He told me that he wanted to return to the capital. Thinking about the bitter cold at the border, I sent someone to send him back. Since the real Fourth Prince is in the Princess's Mansion, who is the one in the palace?"

"After that, I spent a lot of effort to find out that it was actually the bloodline of King Ruyang."

Xie Shu had no doubts about it.

Where are the real secrets in this world?

Everything you do will leave traces.

Since Yan Changqing knew that the Fourth Prince in the palace was fake, it would not be difficult for him to find out the truth by following the clues if he was determined to investigate.

Right now, Xie Shu only cares about one thing.

"Brother Yan, tell me honestly, does the princess know about this?"

"This is a serious matter. I dare not tell you."

Yan Changqing's words immediately gave Xie Shu a reassurance.

In fact, he had already anticipated this answer in his heart, but he would not feel relieved until the other party said it.

He had been diligently trying to sow discord between Yan Changqing and Qin Yaoguang for many years, and his efforts would not be in vain. The rift between them could not be eliminated in such a short period of time.

Now Wanqi Lou has gotten involved, and with the eldest princess's temper, she naturally cannot tolerate it.

For Yan Changqing, distrust is the most direct reaction.

Thinking of this, Xie Shu advised him instead: "Don't worry, Prince. Although the matter of divorce with the princess has been suppressed by the Queen Mother, there will always be a chance. I will find a way for you."

"How can a good man not have a beautiful wife and concubines to accompany him?"

He smiled and said, "Whether it was then or now, I know that countless women admire you."

Yan Changqing glanced at him and curled his lips.

It must be said that he admired Xie Shu very much. After just knowing such a crucial secret, he still thought of sending someone to his pillow to alienate the relationship between him and his wife.

He lowered his eyes: "My own affairs are not urgent, it is not the time yet."

He deliberately made his words vague, and Xie Shu immediately nodded in understanding: "Brother Yan is right, it won't be too late after the divorce, so as to avoid rumors, which is not good after all."

Having said that, Xie Shu has always spared no effort in alienating the relationship between Yan Changqing and Qin Yaoguang.

On the second day alone, Lu Yun sent out invitations all over Beijing and organized a "Spring Banquet". Yan Changqing's name was on the guest list.

On the surface, her excuse was very good. She just wanted to make more friends since she had just arrived, which was a bit like paying a visit to the boss.

In fact, Sima Zhao's intentions were clear to her even though others did not know.

Although Lu Yun is known as a girl from an aristocratic family, she is not actually a direct descendant.

As the current situation requires, she is packaged as a woman who is kept in the boudoir of the Lu family and is indifferent to fame and fortune.

It was not easy for Xie Shu to find a suitable person and send him to Yan Changqing.

First of all, their statuses must match, at the very least she must be a girl from aristocratic family.

However, each noble family has its own pride and would not willingly offer up a daughter to obey his orders, so he found the Lu family, which was on the verge of decline.

You can't look for it in the Xie family, right?

That would be too obvious.

And this person cannot be a young girl who has just come of age and has the knowledge and interests to talk about the past and present with Yan Changqing.

Too young, how can he surpass the peerless beauty and grace of the eldest princess?

There can't be a difference in generation.

It can't be that the little girl is Yan Changqing's junior, right?

But Xie Shu was already a grandfather, and it was extremely difficult for him to find a girl from a respectable family who was only one generation younger than him.

You can't force someone to do something, they have to do it willingly.

This point is actually the simplest. No matter how you look at it, Yan Changqing is an outstanding man and a popular figure in the capital. Even though he is the son-in-law of the eldest princess of the dynasty, there are many women who have a crush on him.

The main reason is that the first two points are too demanding and difficult to meet.

After receiving Xie Shu's request, the Lu family secretly searched for more than a month before finding Lu Yun.

Lu Yun was a member of a declining branch of the Lu family. Due to bad luck, she became a widow and had a reputation for being a jinx.

It just happened that she met Xie Shu's requirements in all aspects, so she was willing to do it.

Regardless of anything else, just because of this matter, she was able to appear in the capital as the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, and she was also able to receive full support from the Lu and Xie families to build a good reputation.

Compared to her previous poverty, she has made a huge profit.

As soon as Yan Changqing received the invitation, he asked Bai Lu to convey a message to Qin Yaoguang.

That night, the wind was clear and the moon was bright.

The breeze is blowing gently, bringing with it a bit of chill, but mixed with the fresh fragrance of soil and young leaves and buds, which is the unique smell of a spring night.

A tall and agile figure walked to the back window of the main room of Huamu Hall with familiarity. Listening to the sounds of washing and conversation coming from the room, his heart was calm.

Qin Yaoguang had just finished soaking in a soothing and warming hot soup, had finished a Guyu Hanlu massage, and had put on her pajamas.

"I'm going to sleep, you all go and rest."

She glanced in the direction of the rear window, then laid down on the bed and gave the order.

"Yes."

Hanlu covered her with a quilt, and Guyu left with the toiletries, turning off the lights before leaving.

The room fell into darkness, and as Qin Yaoguang's eyes gradually adjusted to the light in the room, she could gradually see the outlines of the furniture.

The moonlight outside the window is bright, and the silvery-white light shines through the curtains, pouring moonlight all over the ground.

Qin Yaoguang stood up, put on the outer robe placed aside, walked to the window and sat down.

Her long hair, which was always tied up in a bun during the day, now spread out over her shoulders like a waterfall, and under the caress of the moonlight, it was coated with a layer of mysterious blue. A few strands of hair fell on her shoulders inadvertently, adding a bit of laziness and charm.

She sat quietly in the gentle moonlight, her bright face looking even more beautiful in the moonlight, as if she was a fairy walking out of time and space, blending perfectly with the quiet night.

There was a slight "click" sound from the rear window, and the man walked up to her silently, half squatted down, and reverently kissed the back of her hand.

Yan Changqing raised his eyes to look at her, with handsome features.

The moonlight fell into his eyes, deep and charming.

"Ma'am, I am here at your invitation."
