Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

"Miss Murong."

Shi Yinsheng was wearing a plain long dress, with a graceful figure. Her face was covered by a silver clover mask, but it could not hide her pure and elegant appearance.

She was followed closely by a group of attendants, each holding a variety of precious supplements in their hands.

Nan Jinming glanced at Shi Yinsheng indifferently, then looked at the servants, her beautiful brows slightly furrowed.

"What does Prime Minister mean?" she asked calmly.

Shi Yinsheng raised his hand slightly, pointed to the items in the hands of the attendants behind him, and said slowly: "These are all small gifts from the subjects to the princess, just to show their appreciation."

However, when Nan Jinming saw Shi Yinsheng, he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

"The princess is not fully recovered yet, so it is inconvenient for her to meet guests. Please forgive me, Prime Minister."

Nan Jinming's words were firm and decisive, leaving no room for maneuver.

But these words did not escape Shi Yinsheng's sharp eyes, she saw through the mystery at a glance.

"I'm sure Miss Murong is also extremely worried about the princess falling into the water."

Shi Yinsheng said softly, with a hint of cunning and profound meaning in her beautiful eyes.

Shi Yinsheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and said softly: "Now I have the solid evidence of the emperor's murder in my hand. Even if he is the king of a country, it is not uncommon for him to kill someone, but..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Nan Jinming. She responded with a cold expression: "So what?"

Nan Jinming really didn't want to continue arguing with Shi Yinsheng, so he just got straight to the point.

After all, the two had clashed before, and she knew very well that Shi Yinsheng was a meticulous person, secretive in his actions, and could always easily conceal his true emotions.

“But if we tell the princess about this, with the eldest prince’s status and influence during his lifetime, the emperor will definitely be wary.” Shi Yinsheng chuckled, as if he had already anticipated Nan Jinming’s reaction.

Nan Jinming's heart sank. She knew that what Shi Yinsheng said was true, but she would never let Chu Xiaoran be involved in this court struggle.

"I know my limits. It's not the Prime Minister's turn to teach me how to do things."

"It seems that Miss Murong is just like the rumors say, she cannot stand being told off by others." A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Yinsheng's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, "Don't you want to avenge the princess?"

"If I want revenge, I will do it myself. It's not your turn to point fingers here." Nan Jinming said coldly.

Shi Yinsheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "But do you think you can protect the princess this way?"

Nan Jinming stared at Shi Yinsheng and said through gritted teeth: "What do you want?"

"I just want to give you a chance." Shi Yinsheng slowly took off the mask on her face, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

Few people have seen Shi Yinsheng, and it was the first time that Nan Jinming saw her true face. He was inevitably a little surprised, but it was nothing compared to Nan Jinming's original face.

"unnecessary."

Nan Jinming refused directly.

"Prime Minister... Sir... why... are you here?"

When Chu Xiaoran walked out, he saw two people standing in the hall with swords drawn.

Chu Xiaoran's appearance broke the tense atmosphere. Shi Yinsheng immediately put on a concerned expression and went forward to support Chu Xiaoran.

"Why did you come out? Go back and rest quickly."

Seeing this, Nan Jinming hurriedly walked to Chu Xiaoran and looked at her with concern.

"You are not well yet, you should rest in your room."

Chu Xiaoran smiled and shook his head, looking at Shi Yinsheng with firm eyes.

"I...want to know...about my father."

Shi Yinsheng was slightly stunned, and then there was a bit more admiration in his eyes.

"The princess is indeed the eldest prince's daughter. Your voice..."

Shi Yinsheng didn't ask directly, but he roughly knew what happened to Chu Xiaoran. Falling into the lake must have been somewhat dangerous, so his throat was also frostbitten.

Chu Xiaoran pulled Nan Jinming's sleeve, and Nan Jinming understood Chu Xiaoran's intention. If he just wanted to know about Xiahou Jingbi, naturally he would be able to hear it everywhere outside.

Nan Jinming took a deep breath and nodded, agreeing to Chu Xiaoran's request.

Nan Jinming supported Chu Xiaoran and asked him to sit on the chair: "You are not well yet. If there is anything in the future, just let Bo Xi tell me."

Chu Xiaoran nodded.

Yan Boxi next to him was unhappy: "It's because the master is worried about you that he wants to come to the front hall to see what happened."

"The real culprit has been found."

Chu Xiaoran had heard it and was certain that it was his biological aunt who wanted to attack him.

He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Why? My aunt was so kind to me when I just came back, but why does she want to kill me now?
