Nan Xing instantly stopped talking. Alright, he didn’t know why Lian Xin had become so annoying.

No, he had hated Lian Xin since the beginning.

After returning to the Nan residence, Ning Yue tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. She thought for a long time and called Baili over. She said to him, “Find a few people to follow Jiang Ying. If necessary, use all means to save him.”

“Yes!” Baili accepted the order and left.

The next day, when it was finally dawn, Ning Yue woke up with panda eyes.

After washing up, someone came from the palace early in the morning. He was sent by Lian Xin.

He respectfully invited Ning Yue over to the palace. Nan Xing suggested following her, but the eunuch disagreed.

Ning Yue said to Nan Xing, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

The man hesitated for a long time before agreeing not to follow.

The eunuch brought Ning Yue to the prison of the Black City Kingdom. “This is our royal prison. It’s for some members of the royal family who have committed crimes.”

“Jiang Ying is not a member of the royal family of your Black City Kingdom. Even if you want to accuse him, you have to see if the Great Yun Nation agrees,” Ning Yue said calmly.

As Baili was protecting Jiang Ying, Ning Yue was not particularly worried. At least Jiang Ying’s safety was guaranteed.

Soon, they arrived at the prison where Jiang Ying was. Ning Yue saw Jiang Ying and he was still energetic.

Jiang Ying closed his eyes to rest. When he heard footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes. He did not expect to see Ning Yue.

“Yueyue, why are you here?” Jiang Ying stood up in shock and walked to the entrance of the prison.

“Lian Xin agreed to let me come over. How are you?” Ning Yue asked Jiang Ying as she nervously observed his expression.

Jiang Ying shook his head and replied, “I’m fine. He won’t dare to do anything to me.”

Although the crime of murder was quite serious, Jiang Ying was the only child of the God of War of the Great Yun Nation.

At most, Lian Xin could only put him in jail. If he wanted to accuse him, he had to see if Great Yun Nation agreed.

“Jiang Ying, what exactly happened?” Ning Yue asked with a frown.

Jiang Ying sighed heavily and replied, “I don’t know what’s going on either.”

He told her what had happened that day. Soon, Ning Yue knew what was going on. Lian Xin asked Jiang Ying to wait for him in the imperial study.

While he was waiting, a palace maid came with refreshments. She walked into the imperial study with a tray. After putting down the refreshments, she suddenly wanted to approach Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying was very disgusted to be touched by a woman he didn’t like. He pushed her away impatiently, but the palace maid placed the dagger in his hand and bumped into him.

The palace maidservant fell to the ground. Then, before Jiang Ying could react, Lian Xin’s eunuch entered. When he saw the scene, he shouted.

The eunuch’s actions quickly attracted people over, including Lian Xin. Lian Xin looked at Jiang Ying with a complicated expression.

“Just because you’re the heir of the Great Yun Nation doesn’t mean I can protect you. If you’re innocent, I’ll definitely investigate thoroughly. If not, I’m sorry.”

Hearing Lian Xin’s words, the shock and surprise on Jiang Ying’s face had already disappeared. He replied casually, “Yes.”

When Ning Yue heard what had happened, her frown deepened. She was very sure that Jiang Ying had been framed.

“Do you remember what that palace maid’s name was? What was the name of the eunuch who came in after the incident?” Ning Yue asked.

“I don’t know what the palace maid’s name is. As for that eunuch, I heard Lian Xin call him Dezi,” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue was a little stunned. The matter was very simple, but the meaning behind it was too complicated.

Also, what did Lian Xin mean by that?

Her heart was in a mess.

Jiang Ying could tell what Ning Yue was thinking. He said, “It’s fine. Everything will be fine.”

After the two of them chatted for a while, the prison guard reminded Ning Yue that it was time. Ning Yue frowned. “Lian Xin promised that I could come and see Jiang Ying.”

“The emperor agreed to let you see Prince Jiang Ying, but he didn’t say when. Therefore, you have to strictly abide by the prison visitor rules of our Black City Kingdom,” the jailer said.

Ning Yue’s expression darkened. How could she have forgotten that there was such a rule? She took a deep breath and said to Jiang Ying, “I’ll visit you when I have time.”

Jiang Ying nodded and hugged Ning Yue. He whispered in her ear, “Let Nan Xing think of a way to contact their old Regent.”

Ning Yue nodded, knowing the importance of this matter. “I understand..1‘
