In Jinhan Palace.

Xiaojie was pacing around the magnificent hall.

On his fair and delicate face was an anxious and serious look never seen before.

Shangguan Wan returned to the palace and when she saw that Xiaojie was frowning and worried, she went up to him and asked, “Xiaojie Baby, you’re back? Why are you upset?”

When Xiaojie saw Shangguan Wan, he greeted her politely.

At first, when he went back with Daddy to Jinhan Palace and knew that he was going to marry Auntie Shangguan Wan, Xiaojie was was very disgusted.

There are no children who did not want their Daddy and Mommy together.

He had heard the story of Snow White and thought that all stepmoms were bad.

Later, when Auntie Shangguan Wan came to live at the palace, she was much nicer than he had imagined.

Not only did he hate her at first, he also did not understand Daddy and he would hide in his room alone.

Auntie Shangguan Wan talked to him secretly. She said that she would not steal Daddy from his Mommy and when the time comes, she would return Daddy to him and Mommy. She even said that the little brother in her stomach would not compete with him at being doted on.

Since they started to get along, he found that Auntie Shangguan Wan did not secretly give him poisonous apples to eat and in turn, taught him a lot of things.

“What happened?” Shangguan Wan squatted in front of Xiaojie and asked with concern.

Xiaojie’s eyes were red and pouted his pink lips. “It’s Pretty Zhizhi, she was taken away by the Royal Guards.”

Shangguan Wan was shocked.

The Royal Guards were an army hired by the Queen. Normally, they would be sent out only when people had broken the law seriously. What happened with Nan Zhi?

Was she and Sihan found out?

The Queen attended to hundreds of important matters every day and if she found out, she should leave it to Uncle Ye to settle and not directly give the order!

Just when Shangguan Wan was pondering the situation, Mu Sihan strode in with big steps.

Seeing Mu Sihan, Xiaojie flew over. “Daddy, did you get Pretty Zhizhi out?”

Mu Sihan touched Xiaojie’s head and there was an unreadable look in his eyes. All he said was, “Give Daddy some time.”

Xiaojie was not an ignorant and unreasonable child. He attended school at the Royal Academy so he knew the rules in the palace.

Grandmother Queen was the biggest and highest up in the royal family. Even Daddy had to listen to her.

But Xiaojie believed that Daddy would save Pretty Zhizhi.

He had to.

“Brat, go back to your room first. I have something to say to your Auntie Wan’er.”

Xiaojie nodded obediently.

After Xiaojie went upstairs, Mu Sihan dismissed all the servants.

Looking at Mu Sihan’s carved-like and handsome face, Shangguan Wan said after pondering for a moment, “What’s happening?”

Mu Sihan explained briefly why Nan Zhi had been arrested. Shangguan Wan was clever and quickly responded, “The Queen had said long before that whoever could catch the high officials of SSS group, he would make a great contribution to the country. If Miss Nan, really had an intimate relations.h.i.+p with Gu Sheng, it might be very difficult for her to escape this disaster!”

Mu Sihan narrowed his dark eyes. “Wan’er, you have acquaintances in the dungeon, right? Arrange for me to go see Nan Zhi, I have something to ask her.”

Shangguan Wan nodded. “I’ll try to contact him.”

The sky darkened gradually.

Mu Sihan changed into the clothes of the keeper guarding the dungeon and following the lead of the keeper, walked to one of iron cells.
