Ever since Bai Zhiyuan discovered the affair between He Xiaowan and Heba Yun, she has been paying special attention to their movements for several days.

Although she was in the harem, Xie Yunsong brought news that the previous dynasty was pressing Heba Yun for his delay in appointing a concubine, and the emperor was still in a coma, so Heba Yun's position as crown prince was in jeopardy.

Since that day, He Xiaowan has not appeared in Heba Yun's palace, but Bai Zhiyuan found that the two of them would meet secretly every day, and every time Heba Yun would sneak into He Xiaowan's bedroom. I don't know whether the relationship between the two of them maintained for so many years was not noticed by anyone or everyone who knew about it was silenced.

An abnormal relationship will never be accepted by the world.

Bai Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this southern barbarian princess, who had carefully planned every step to get her beloved man to the position of crown prince, but the one who would end up standing by his side could not be her, his younger sister, but another woman.

However, Bai Zhiyuan still didn't know how to use this matter as a threat to confront He Xiaowan and get the antidote.

Now they were in the territory of the Southern Barbarians. If they confessed to her directly, both she and Xie Yunsong would be in danger.

After thinking about it, there was no good solution. Bai Zhiyuan's heart unconsciously became impatient. She had been in the Nanman Palace for several days, but she was still at a loss. Her father was still waiting for her to bring back the antidote, and her brother's poison could not wait.

Bai Zhiyuan decided not to wait any longer. If she continued to wait like this, how long would she be trapped in this palace?

She found Nanny Chang, who was Wei Chi's person, and asked her to find a way to arrange her to the princess's palace.

Madam Chang was in a dilemma, as she didn't know Bai Zhiyuan's true identity. She said, "Miss, it's not that I don't want to help you. The people in the princess' palace were all selected by her personally. I really can't do anything about it."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan sighed and realized that he was too impatient and would easily expose himself if he continued like this.

At night, Xie Yunsong arrived as promised, and Bai Zhiyuan poured out all his anxiety to him.

After hearing this, Xie Yunsong comforted her, "Don't worry. You can't contact He Xiaowan now, and you can't go to her bedroom. But don't forget that Heba Yun goes to see He Xiaowan almost every day. If you can gain Heba Yun's trust and let him take you, you will naturally be able to enter He Xiaowan's bedroom easily."

Bai Zhiyuan suddenly realized that she had been looking for someone far away instead of someone near her and had always kept her eyes on He Xiaowan.

Xie Yunsong chuckled and said, "Miss Bai has always been smart, how come you can't figure out such a simple thing this time? You are worried and confused. I know you are worried about your brother, but we can't act too hastily here, and you must always remember that this is the Southern Barbarians. If you are not careful, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to escape unscathed."

Bai Zhiyuan smiled bitterly, "You are right. I was too impatient. Starting tomorrow, I will start with Heba Yun and see if I can get in touch with He Xiaowan through him."

Xie Yunsong nodded and said, "I was outside these days and there were rumors that the Southern Barbarian Emperor was not ill, but poisoned."

"Poisoned?" Bai Zhiyuan asked in surprise: "Could it be...?"

Xie Yunsong said: "Maybe it is just what you and I think!"

Bai Zhiyuan asked: "The only person in the Nanman Palace who can poison is He Xiaowan, but the emperor is her father after all, why did she do this?"

Xie Yunsong thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because of Heba Yun. Maybe the emperor knew about their affair, and it's not impossible that He Xiaowan poisoned the emperor for the sake of her lover and to be with Heba Yun."

Bai Zhiyuan did not comment. "If it is as you and I analyzed, then He Xiaowan is really deeply in love with Heba Yun. I just don't know whether Heba Yun is sincere to He Xiaowan or is just using her to gain her favor?"

Xie Yunsong said: "This requires Ayuan to start with Heba Yun. I have a feeling that we are very close to the truth, and maybe we will be able to get the antidote and leave here soon."

Bai Zhiyuan nodded gently and said, "I understand. I will always keep an eye on Heba Yun."

She looked up again and said softly, "Xie Yunsong, thank you. Every time I was confused, you always answered my questions."

Because Xie Yunsong was in disguise, his true face could not be seen. Only his eyes were still as dark as ink. He stroked her long hair and said, "Our A-Yuan has always been smart. You will definitely be able to figure it out without me. Don't be afraid, just do it. I will always protect you."

Bai Zhiyuan's heart was filled with strength again. She chuckled and leaned into Xie Yunsong's arms, smelling his unique scent, and her heart was at peace. Since coming to Nanman, the two of them cherished the time they spent together every night.

After a while, Xie Yunsong stood up. Bai Zhiyuan knew that he was leaving, and watched him jump out of the window reluctantly. He did not look away until his figure completely disappeared.

From that day on, Bai Zhiyuan listened to Xie Yunsong's words and hung around Heba Yun whenever she had nothing to do. Sure enough, after a few days, Heba Yun remembered her.

On this day, Heba Yun was handling court affairs in his study. Bai Zhiyuan and Xiao Tao were sweeping the house. Bai Zhiyuan secretly looked at Heba Yun several times, thinking about how to get his attention, but he was distracted and accidentally dropped the vase in Heba Yun's study on the ground.

Bai Zhiyuan was shocked at first, but then he was secretly delighted, thinking that he had finally attracted his attention.

Bai Zhiyuan put away his thoughts, knelt down in front of Heba Yun, and shouted: "Prince, spare my life!"

Heba Yun stared at her straight. The palace maid in front of him was begging for mercy, but her face was very calm. It was not known whether she was pretending to be calm, or whether she was just a small palace maid and did not take him seriously, so she felt that she would not punish him.

Heba Yun was always gentle to his servants and never took them to heart even if they made minor mistakes.

But at this moment, he had the idea of ​​making the palace maid in front of him cry and beg him.

Heba Yun was shocked by his own thoughts for a moment. He laughed in his heart, wondering what was wrong with him that he was so disturbed by a palace maid.

He no longer looked at Bai Zhiyuan, waved his hand, and said nonchalantly as usual: "Nothing, you guys go down first!"

Bai Zhiyuan glanced at him and tried his best to suppress the disappointment in his heart. This Heba Yun was really as the rumors said, gentle as jade and kind to others. But how could such a person be an emperor?

Bai Zhiyuan didn't think any more and said to Heba Yun, "Thank you, Prince!"

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Heba Yun raised his eyes and said, "You stay and grind ink for me!"

Bai Zhiyuan was stunned at first, then he felt happy, but he still pretended to be calm and walked to Heba Yun's side.

She pondered in her heart that the first step had been successful. Next, as long as she could gain Heba Yun's trust, she might be able to get in touch with He Xiaowan soon.
