Yusui Chang'an

After dismissing Feng Xiaoran, An Zhixian sat uneasily, eager to see Lin Jinyan and ask some things clearly in person.

After thinking for a long time, he called Ling Wu and asked him to inform Hong Jiu. He said that he had something to discuss with Lin Jinyan and would meet at Tai Feng Grain Store tomorrow.

Inside the hotel.

In the courtyard of Pingnan.

Deputy Ambassador Mo talked about Hua Yuncheng all the way, saying that he came this time to ask Hua Yunnuo to get married. Hua Yuncheng should not be involved with the princess of Tianchu, and should ask someone to rescue her. He should not have any entanglement with her.

Hua Yuncheng plucked his ears and regarded Vice Minister Mo as nothing. He opened the two objects given by the emperor and invited Dou Zhengshi to appreciate them. Vice Commander Mo was so angry that he blew his beard and rolled his sleeves and walked away.

In the courtyard of Yeliang.

Teng Chenglin discussed with Liang Wang and Jing Congli about whom Liang Nanyin wanted to marry.

Teng Chenglin analyzed the princes one by one, and finally settled on the prince and Chu Chengye. One was the prince, and the other was a foreigner with military power. He felt that the two had a greater chance of winning.

Seeing Liang Wang and Jing Congli drinking tea slowly and effortlessly, Teng Chenglin also became angry and went back to his room, calling his confidants to investigate secretly.

In the courtyard of Mobei.

At the birthday banquet, the insinuating taunts from Tianchu officials pushed Lu Sang's patience and hatred towards the Gu family to the extreme. The defeat a year ago made his many years of hard work come to naught again, making him a laughing stock again. Lost my father's support...

Lu Sang squeezed out Gu Ruizhou's name through his teeth and vowed to make him pay the price.

Xiao Chen covered himself tightly and came to Zuo Yingxiong's residence again. Seeing that Chu Chengyao had arrived, Xiao Chen took off his hat and sat beside Chu Chengyao. Seeing Xiao Chen sitting down without invitation and showing no respect to Chu Chengyao, Zhong Yi frowned displeased.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jin, I proposed the marriage proposal as agreed. You made a mistake yourself, but you can't blame me for it."

Chu Chengyao looked unconcerned:

"It's okay, I was just misled. Although the result was not as expected, I have accepted Xiao Zhengshi's love. When things come true in the future, I will definitely fulfill my promise."

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows: "Seeing that His Highness the King of Jin is calm and composed, he must have a countermeasure. If Mo Bei needs help, His Highness the King of Jin can just ask."

Chu Chengyao knew that in his current situation, he could no longer lose the help of Xiao Chen, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and talked to Xiao Chen calmly, making Xiao Chen feel that this matter would not hurt him at all. After sending him away steadily, he committed suicide. The secret passage returns to the palace.

As soon as he entered the study, Chu Chengyao sat back on the chair, all the hostility coming out of his body. Seeing Zhong Yi come in, he asked in a deep voice:

"What did the people who went to the Lin Mansion find out? Is that handkerchief Zhou Yuexue's?"

Zhong Yi carefully looked at Chu Chengyao's face and answered respectfully:

"I compared it with Miss Zhou's handkerchief. It was indeed made by Miss Zhou. Miss Zhou is not in the Lin Mansion now. She returned to the Zhou Mansion a few days ago."

Chu Chengyao said impatiently: "Going back? We finally got her into the Lin Mansion. Why did she go back?"

"Miss Zhou... was pregnant. When the Taifu found out, she lost her temper and rushed back to the Zhou Mansion. Mrs. Lin was also angry about this and said... that Miss Zhou should not come to the house again unless there was nothing wrong."

Chu Chengyao stood up in shock: "She's pregnant? She was kicked back a few days ago? Then why didn't she come to deliver the message? Why is this king so passive!"

"The shopkeeper of Taihe Restaurant only woke up in the afternoon. According to him, Miss Zhou sent Shun'er to speak to him a few days ago, saying that he had something important to see His Highness, but before he could say anything, he fell down and fainted..."
