Nan Chaochao still complained to Princess Jing, and Old Madam Meng was given a good scolding by Princess Jing, who also warned Meng Huaijin.

He threatened that if Meng Huaijin did not treat Nan Chaochao well, he would have Prince Jing find His Majesty to dismiss Meng Huaijin from his position as general.

The impeachment of Meng Huaijin for favoring his concubine over his wife has not yet subsided in the imperial court.

If Nan Chaochao's disfigurement is used as a pretext, Meng Huaijin's position as general will likely be revoked.

This was the military honor that Meng Huaijin earned with his life; how could he stand by and watch it be destroyed?

It was Old Madam Meng who pulled him to bow his head towards Princess Jing.

Compared to Meng Huaijin's reluctance, General Meng fawned over Princess Jing throughout the entire process.

For the sake of their own future, the Meng family began to fawn over the Southern Dynasty.

Since Nan Chaochao was disfigured, her temper has become increasingly eccentric.

He would beat and scold the servants, and even forced Old Madam Meng to serve him tea and water.

At the slightest inconvenience, he would clamor to have the entire Meng family buried alive with him.

During this period, Azhi lived a very comfortable life. Nanchen sent all sorts of rare and precious treasures to Azhi's yard and often took Azhi out to travel and enjoy the scenery.

Over time, Yu'er was moved by Nan Chen and would unconsciously praise him for being thoughtful.

Ah Zhi thought that Prince Heng would never see her.

The next day at noon, Nan Chen took her to see Prince Heng.

The man leaned against the bed, looking weak and sickly.

Prince Heng paused slightly as his gaze fell on Azhi.

"Queen mother?"

This sentence made the room very quiet, and Azhi blinked her eyes innocently.

Nan Chen, standing to the side, asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why did Father mention the Empress Dowager?"

King Heng snapped out of his reverie and continued muttering, "They look so alike, so incredibly alike, practically identical. How could there be two people in the world who are so similar? Where were you born? Do you know anything about your origins?"

Azhi shook her head at Prince Heng and said gently, "This humble woman does not know where I was born. I was sold to the brothel when I was young."

Nan Chen had some guesses about Heng Wang's questions, but he didn't show it on his face.

Prince Heng did not press further. He simply nodded gently and comforted Azhi, saying, "Good child, you have suffered. You saved Nanchen back then, so you are naturally our father and son's benefactor. Stay at Prince Heng's residence and no one else will bother you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

After exchanging a few words, Azhi left with Nanchen.

On the way, Nan Chen took out a brocade box from his pocket, and inside was a small and exquisite headdress.

The thumb-sized pearl on top was actually gold, giving it an indescribable sense of purity and brightness.

"I guessed you would like this headdress, so I specially spent a lot of money to find it for you. Do you like it?"

Ah Zhi stroked the golden pearl and smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Your Highness. I like it very much. But is this headdress meant as a betrothal gift?"

Nan Chen paused for a moment and hurriedly looked at A Zhi.

"Has the young lady agreed?"

"The young master is so kind that even the snow-capped mountains melt away."

Overjoyed, Nan Chen escorted A Zhi back to the courtyard, but was summoned by Prince Heng as soon as he returned to the front yard.

Prince Heng lay weakly on the bed, his face pale and his voice feeble.

"Nan Chen, you can't be with Luo Qing."

"Father?"

Just a few days ago, Prince Heng said he would grant Nan Chen's wish, but now he has gone back on his word.

Nan Chen asked anxiously, "Why? Why can't I be with Luo Qing? Didn't Father promise me?"

Prince Heng is not an unreasonable person; over the years, he has absolutely respected Nan Chen's choices.

Prince Heng coughed a few times and gasped for breath, saying, "Luo Qing's background is very unusual; she is very likely Prince Jing's daughter."
