In the study room of Prince Ning's estate.

"What nonsense! It must be Prince Rong who framed me!" Ning Wang slammed the table and shouted. If it wasn't for Prince Rong bringing his father to catch the enemy, then the side concubine wouldn't have died! He was the oldest amongst the princes, so logically speaking, he should have the most chance of becoming the next monarch. Now that such a thing had happened, his father's attitude towards him had already dropped to the extreme. How could he still compete for the throne? How infuriating!

"No, I must take revenge." Ning Wang tightly clenched his fists.

"Don't be impatient, Your Royal Highness. We have to consider this matter carefully!" The advisor, Li An, advised.

Ning Wang glared unhappily at Li An. "What plan? Prince Rong plotted against me, I definitely won't let him go. Quickly help me find someone to get rid of Prince Rong, the best thing to do is unknowingly!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li An turned around and walked out of the study. Ning Wang was still unable to calm down from her anger! As long as he thought about how the charming imperial concubine had died just like that, Ning Wang felt a lump in his throat. He had to make Prince Rong pay!

In King Ning's estate.

Although it was still overcast, it had just rained last night, causing the hot weather to feel a bit chilly. Fang Zinan had already left his bed and prepared to go to Xiao Tian Yuan's residence to take a look.

As they walked through the corridor, the fragrance of lilies wafted through the air. Fang Zinan saw Shang Yiqing in the yard, holding a pair of scissors, pruning a lily.

"Why did you get up so early today?" Where are you going? " Seeing that Fang Zinan packed up well and wanted to go out, he couldn't help but ask.

"I want to go and see Brother Xiao." Fang Zinan spoke blandly, stood up and walked out.

When she heard that it was Xiao Tian Yuan, Shang Yiqing hastily threw down the scissors in her hands, "Wait, I'll go with you."

"You want to go with me?" Fang Zinan's body froze and his lips curved into a smile. "What? You want to see Xiao Tian Yuan?"

"No!" Hearing Fang Zinan's words, Shang Yiqing retorted unhappily, "I just wanted to see Ying Ying. I haven't seen her for a long time since we returned from Lishan. I do miss her a bit."

Fang Zinan suddenly turned his head, and a trace of a sly smile flashed across his eyes. He stared at her and asked: "Is that really the case?"

"Of course!" Shang Yiqing flicked the petals off her body and stood up.

It seemed like she really liked Xiao Tianyuan? Fang Zinan's expression did not change, but he secretly sighed and then coldly said: "But I never planned to bring you to the Xiao family. I only planned to go by myself."

"You … What do you mean? " Shang Yiqing's expression changed.

"It's nothing. I'm just telling you, I won't bring you there." As Fang Zinan spoke, he walked out.

"If you don't want to, then don't go! "What's so great about it? It's like I can't go anywhere without you!" Shang Yiqing waved her fist at the back of the man's head.

After Fang Zinan left the Residence of Rong King, Shang Yiqing thought for a while before raising her voice, "Men, bring me a horse. This wangfei is going to leave as well."

He hurriedly changed into a man's outfit and followed Shang Yiqing out of the palace. By now, Fang Zinan was no longer in sight on the street, but since he knew Fang Zinan was going to find Xiao Tian Yuan, he didn't want to take his. He galloped like a horse and saw Fang Zinan not too far away. He wasn't walking too fast, but what was strange was that he wasn't heading in the direction of the Xiao manor, but out of the city.

What was this guy trying to do? Shang Yiqing thought for a moment and followed him. She wanted to see where Fang Zinan was going and who he was going to meet. She didn't want to bring him with her today. Was he planning something else?

They chased Fang Zinan out of the city. After walking two or three miles, the land had opened up. After last night's heavy rain, the grass and mud gave off a fresh smell. It was very comfortable to smell. Fang Zinan was still a mile or two ahead of her, and she followed at a leisurely pace. After walking for a while, the sound of rapid horse hooves came from behind her. Someone hit the horse beside her, and Shang Yiqing unconsciously moved aside. Two people whizzed past her, and Shang Yiqing could only see the side of one of them. However, this side of her face felt very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before. She couldn't recall where she had seen it before, so she could only shake her head in confusion and continue walking forward.

That person walked very quickly because he was afraid that Fang Zinan would notice that Shang Yiqing was only following him at a distance. She had no intention of exposing her whereabouts.

Walking forward, she found that the two were heading towards Fang Zinan. She didn't care too much and just followed them. The road ahead was getting farther and farther away, and there were less and less people. There were only a few people on the road. At this moment, they saw Fang Zinan stop his horse on an open slope. What was this guy trying to do? Shang Yiqing decided to follow them and get a better look.

The horses of the two men soon stopped. When Shang Yiqing passed by them, she heard one of them say, "King Rong."

Prince Rong … Wasn't that Fang Zinan? Strange, when these two people mentioned this name, could it be that the reason they followed them all the way was because of Fang Zinan? As he thought of this, he slowed down his pace and pretended to be taking things from the horse, consciously listening to what the two were saying.

Another person said, "Let's go over now and take his life."

"Where's the person in front of us?"

"Of course, we'll end up with the same result. Do you still want to keep the witness?" The two of them chuckled softly.

What? These two want to kill Fang Zinan? And he was going to kill him too? This was not a joke. Thinking about this, Shang Yiqing immediately rushed forward, shouting, "Fang Zinan, Fang Zinan!"

When the two people behind heard Shang Yiqing's shout, they immediately realized that this person was in cahoots with Prince Rong, so they couldn't let him go. The two hurriedly chased after him.

Hearing Shang Yiqing's call, Fang Zinan finally saw his. Behind her, there were two other people, both of whom were very close to her. Taking out their weapons, their sabers and swords were exceptionally bright. Could it be that these two people wanted Shang Yiqing's life? Anxious, she could not help but shout, "Watch your back!"

"I got it!" The white horse that Shang Yiqing rode was the best horse in the Rong King's manor. Although the two horses were fast, it was not easy for them to catch up to her. She shouted at Fang Zinan, "These two people want to take your life, quickly run."

So she had come to remind him? Fang Zinan was startled and felt a warm feeling rise in his heart. Even if she didn't like him, she had always helped him wholeheartedly. How could he not be moved? Seeing that she was in danger, how could he abandon her and flee on his own?
