Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1193 Test again
Ruoshui Villa.

Listening to Lin Jinyan talking about school matters with Meng and his son, Feng Siyao stared at the teacup in a daze:
Thinking back to the past, I suddenly felt that Chu Chengyi's attitude towards Lin Jinyan seemed to be different from that of others...

He raised his eyes to look at the thin figure, his gaze focused on that bright face:

How could a man not be attracted by such a look?

Lin Jinyan, who was chatting and laughing, noticed the fixed gaze. Thinking that Feng Siyao was still worried about her health, she turned her head to meet the gaze and a bright smile spread across her face.

Feng Siyao was touched by the gratitude and comfort in the smile, and felt ashamed of her momentary jealousy just now.

After finishing their journey together, they returned to their respective homes. Lin Jinyan lowered the curtains of the carriage, saw the indignant Bai Zhi, raised her hand and gently pinched her cheek:
"Didn't you find out anything? Why are you still so angry?"

Bai Zhi was very angry:

"You said that the young prince had not given up and would test me again, so I should be on guard. I thought he was testing me, but who knew he would actually drug the young lady.

I have been making medicine for many years, and my body is stronger and healthier than that of the young lady, so it is okay for him to give me drugs, but how can he give you drugs?"

Lin Jinyan was quite open-minded about this:

"He disguised himself for many years just to leave a way out for his family. Now that he has been exposed, he must be terrified, fearing that the way out he had worked so hard to prepare would become a death warrant.

Naturally, one is eager to know who the opponent is and what his purpose is. When a person panics, he will inevitably become anxious and unable to think things through.

Besides, he only drugged me, and the dosage was very small, which means he didn't really want to hurt me, so there's no need to be angry about it."

Seeing that Bai Zhi was still angry, Lin Jinyan's eyes were covered with a warm smile:

"I know you feel sorry for me. Even if you are not afraid, it is a drug and it is bad for your body. How can I not feel sorry for you too?" Bai Zhi's anger was calmed by Lin Jinyan's words of sympathy, and her nose felt sore with emotion.

Seeing Hong Jiu with his arms folded across his chest, looking at the two of them with a faint smile on his face, his heart also felt warm.

Chu Chengyi spent three days in the palace trying to persuade the emperor to marry Lin Wanrong.

When Concubine Ming got the news, she immediately consulted the Queen privately. Less than half a day later, the Crown Prince took the initiative to mention the matter when he reported to the Emperor on government affairs:
“Speaking of which, my fourth brother originally came to ask the emperor for permission to marry him. If I hadn’t been so anxious to prove my innocence and urged the Dali Temple to investigate the case, I wouldn’t have fallen into the trap and implicated my fourth brother.

Fourth brother is used to living a carefree life. It is rare for him to find a woman who is so infatuated with him. Father, why don’t you just go along with his wishes? Maybe once Fourth brother is happy, he will be well again.”

Not only the Crown Prince, but also Concubine Ming and Marquis Pingyang helped to plead for mercy. In addition, the Empress Dowager spoke for Chu Chengping at the request of Princess Chang and Yue Mingzhu, and the Emperor's tone finally softened.

The original suspicion that Chu Chengping cared so much about Lin Wanrong was also dispelled by his words and actions:

His feelings for Lin Wanrong were just a romantic one, and had nothing to do with her family background or party disputes, and he would not form a secret alliance with the prince and his men.

He has no ambition to be in the imperial court, but only to be with one person for the rest of his life. If there are any doubts, he is willing to go to his fiefdom after marriage and will not return to the capital unless summoned.

Faced with such an open-minded son, the emperor was stunned. Sitting on the supreme dragon throne, he was destined to be unable to trust anyone and always had to think deeply about things.

There are very few people who are as simple as Chu Chengping, who directly points out their concerns and takes the initiative to dispel them.

This kind of person is either very secretive, like the second brother.

Or, it is true that one is strong because he has no desires.

Thinking back to the time when Chu Chengping was so upset that he vomited blood after being scolded by him, the emperor couldn't help but sigh:

Out of the wolf-like and tiger-like son came a lamb.
