Yin Lian's expression was panicking, it was impossible for Nalan Jie to not pay attention. His eyes flashed with anger as he pinched Yin Lian's chin and asked: "Speak, do you know something?"

"Your – Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" Yin Lian seemed to be frightened by Nalan Jie's vicious expression and subconsciously took a step back. She opened up a distance between the two of them and timidly said, "This humble one is from the Southern Frontier. I have heard of Liang Wan's name before …"

The Nalan Jie frowned. Liang Wan's mother was from the Southern Frontier, so she herself wasn't too related to it. So how could Yin Lian have heard of Liang Wan? He returned to his chair and sat down, using his eyes to signal for Yin Lian to continue.

Yin Lian seemed to be slightly excited. She tried to calm down for a while before saying, "I heard from our Witch clan's grandmother that Liang Wan is our Southern Frontier's witch, and is a continuation of our bloodline."

Witch? The Nalan Jie raised his eyebrows. Liang Wan's father was Chinese, how could she be a witch?

Then, Yin Lian started to explain. He found out that Liang Wan's mother was actually a witch in the Southern Frontier, but because of the internal conflict that they had, their daughter was actually a witch. It was just that by the time Southern Frontier side found out, Liang Wan was already gone.

"Your Majesty, we Witch Clan's Witch Daughters are very magical. They only have daughters. I heard that the daughter of a witch of the purest bloodline will definitely be a Witch …"

Yin Lian was still talking excitedly. Suddenly, she had her chin pinched again. "What did you say?"

"Ah?" I, I said we witches are magical, only having a daughter... "Ahhh!" Before Yin Lian could finish her sentence, she was pushed aside by Nalan Jie. She almost fell to the ground, but a cold light flashed past her eyes.

Nalan Jie had an ugly expression on his face: "Are you speaking the truth?"

"Of course it's true. This is something that we, the citizens of Southern Frontier, all know. If you don't believe us, your majesty, you can go and investigate!" Yin Lian looked at Nalan Jie pitifully as he sobbed softly.

Nalan Jie's mind seemed to explode. If he was only given a daughter, then what was going on with Nalan Rongxuan?

He was an emperor. The moment he thought of him being cuckolded, his heart burned with anger, and even his temples began to ache. He was extremely irritated, and a hint of desire appeared in his eyes as he looked at Yin Lian.

Yin Lian walked over, her jade-like hands proactively pressed on Nalan Jie's temples. Nalan Jie's mouth was getting more and more dry as she turned around and hugged Yin Lian …

When the clouds dissipated and the rain dissipated, the Nalan Jie seemed to be a lot more carefree. When he thought about his virtuous and virtuous imperial concubine, he felt a burst of depression in her heart. He could dislike Nalan Rongxuan, but he could not accept that Nalan Rongxuan was a bastard!

However, what Yin Lian said was indeed reasonable, it did not seem like she was just making it up. The Nalan Jie called for Eunuch Huang and gave Geng Qing a secret order for him to investigate Senior Concubine Wan's identity and background.

Receiving such a secret decree, Geng Qing's heart also skipped a beat. Thinking back to that gentle and moving woman from back then, he really couldn't understand why the Emperor would suddenly become interested in these things after all these years.

Furthermore, Geng Qing was puzzled by the words of "witch" who was only born with a daughter. Is the Emperor suspecting that the King Xuan is not his own flesh and blood?

Back then, when Imperial Concubine Wan was in a difficult situation to give birth to, it was said that she was already at her limits, yet at the last moment she gave birth to her child. Geng Qing knew about this, or perhaps Imperial Concubine Wan was not wrong, but someone had done something to her? Geng Qing felt that something was off and decided to use this opportunity to investigate.

The Crown Prince had been waiting for the Emperor to change his mind and send him back to the capital. However, when the imperial edict didn't arrive, a secret letter arrived. The letter only had one sentence on it: "Princess Rui is dying."

After receiving this news, the crown prince couldn't calm himself for the entire day. He and Rui Wangfei were childhood friends, and both of them had long been in love, but they had been separated. He knew that Rui Wang had not treated her well.

The Crown Prince's greatest comfort was that the two of them could use the opportunity of the court meeting to secretly tell their heart to each other. From the time when he had come to the Southern Wasteland palace, even this thought had been cut off. Right now, Rui Wangfei was very ill, so he didn't know what the situation was.

"prince …" Yan Zhilin looked at Nalan Rongjun walking around the hall, completely at a loss because of a woman, and in his heart, he wished that he had failed.

The crown prince abruptly stopped his steps as an image of Rui Wangfei's exquisite face flashed through his mind. After taking a deep breath, he seemed to have made up his mind. "I'm going to see her. She's definitely waiting for me!"

Hearing that, Yan Zhilin immediately stood up, with a serious face: "The situation is not looking good, prince must not be impulsive!"

However, how could Nalan Rongjun still listen to such words. Ever since he moved to the Southern Shrine, although the Emperor had not crippled him, the crown prince, he had been indifferent all day, as if he had completely forgotten about him.

Being transferred to the border of the city now, he would not have a chance to turn the situation around in the future. Nalan Rongjun felt that he had racked his brains, and even his beloved woman could not stay by his side.

Right now, he had nothing. He only wanted to rush to her side, out of the stars and out of the moon. He wanted to be able to give her some comfort when she was at her weakest. Could it be that he couldn't even do this?

"prince, I don't know who sent this secret letter. It might be a trap." Yan Zhilin was cautious. There were very few people who knew of the relationship between the crown prince and Rui Wangfei. Just who would report such an ambiguous situation to the crown prince?

Right now, all of the powers in Profound Leaf City were eyeing this place covetously. Although the Southern Wasteland palace was far away, it was a good place to hide and hide. If the Crown Prince left now, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Nalan Jun pondered for a moment and said, "I cannot bet that her body already had problems the last time I saw her. If I don't go back now, I'm afraid …"

He was a cruel and merciless person, but he really liked that woman. He couldn't give her a name or position, so he didn't want to leave her with any regrets!

"prince, you must think twice. If this was really King Rui's plan, all of our preparations would have been in vain!" Yan Zhilin sincerely said.

However, Nalan Jun insisted, "You can make the arrangements over here. I'll go and come back quickly."

Yan Zhilin could not stop him and could only allow the Crown Prince to lead a few capable followers on the journey to Profound Leaf City. The Crown Prince had wanted to travel day and night, but he could not and the horse could not.

The only thing he could do was to sleep in the forest and start a fire to keep warm. Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound coming from the depths of the forest, and an ominous premonition struck his mind.
