If one is not strong enough, they might commit suicide.

Although Jiang Chuan had no relation to the other party, he did not want her to die because of him, so he still had to go to the palace to see Lady Mingzhu.

Moreover, there is another problem within the general's mansion.

It is also necessary to know that one must hear the name Nongyu.

Jiang Chuan is a man of action.

Soon, they quietly left the general's mansion and then sneaked into the royal palace.

After taking over the General's Mansion, he imitated the style of Blood-Clad Marquis Bai Yifei. Bai Yifei was a reclusive person, so naturally, after Jiang Chuan took over the General's Mansion, he lived a secluded life and no one knew his whereabouts.

In this situation, even if he sometimes appears with his original face instead of Bai Yifei's, no one will think much of it.

Ultimately, Jiang Chuan's original identity was that of one of the Four Fiends of the Night, and he was in charge of Ji Wuye's finances.

After Ji Wuye's death, Jiang Chuan attached himself to Bai Yifei's command and occasionally came to the general's mansion to report to Bai Yifei, which was perfectly reasonable.

Similarly, it is also reasonable for Bai Yifei to bring Jiang Chuan's family to live in the General's Mansion in order to control Jiang Chuan.

This precisely illustrates that Bai Yifei is a naturally suspicious person.

After he took over the General's Mansion, he exiled Mo Ya and Bai Feng, who originally belonged to Ji Wuye, and replaced all of Ji Wuye's personal guards, which is enough to illustrate this point.

Because of Jiang Chuan's special status, Bai Yifei could not directly replace Jiang Chuan, so he could only take Jiang Chuan's wife and children as hostages and let them live in the general's mansion.

In short, even if Jiang Chuan appeared openly in the General's Mansion, or even lived there, there would be no problem; it can all be explained away.

……

Jiang Chuan had infiltrated the palace countless times and was already very familiar with the process.

After arriving at Lady Mingzhu's palace.

Jiang Chuan greeted her directly, "Cousin, it's been a long time."

"Cousin, what brings you here?" Although Jiang Chuan was using his true form at the moment, Madam Mingzhu was very witty and immediately went along with Jiang Chuan's words.

Because in the outside world, the newly appointed General Bai Yifei is actually Jiang Chuan in disguise.

There are some things I need to let you know.

Jiang Chuan approached Madam Mingzhu and said, "Regarding Princess Honglian..."

"Oh?"

Madam Mingzhu looked at Jiang Chuan in surprise.

Jiang Chuan said, "In a short period of time, Princess Honglian has been betrothed twice by the King of Han. I am worried that she may be distraught and attempt suicide. Therefore, if you have time, you would be best to meet with Princess Honglian and persuade her to give up this idea."

"Cousin, you really care about Princess Honglian?" Madam Mingzhu asked in a strange tone after hearing Jiang Chuan's words.

Jiang Chuan said calmly, "I just feel that the other person is in the prime of their life, and if they were to die because of me, I would feel really bad."

"So, cousin, you don't want me to bear this burden of sin for no reason, do you?"

As he gazed at Madam Mingzhu's beautiful face, his expression gradually changed, and he began to scrutinize her intently...

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

After not seeing her for a while, Madam Mingzhu seemed to have undergone a second growth spurt.

Madam Mingzhu showed no embarrassment, allowing Jiang Chuan to scrutinize her. She even raised her head and puffed out her chest, making her certain advantages even more apparent. She looked up at Jiang Chuan and said softly, "Is that so? I thought my cousin was coveting Princess Honglian's beauty, which is why he was so concerned about her."

"Speaking of which, cousin, you haven't had much contact with Princess Honglian yet, have you? Although she's not very old, she's blossoming into a beautiful young woman with great potential."

At this point, Madam Mingzhu winked at Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "I don't know if Princess Honglian has full potential, but I do know that you definitely have untapped potential."

As he spoke, Jiang Chuan directly grabbed Madam Mingzhu's delicate hand and pulled her into his arms.

It had been a long time since I had been intimate with Madam Mingzhu, so we had another big battle.

After the battle, Lady Mingzhu seemed to have lost all her strength and collapsed on her bed.

Jiang Chuan, on the other hand, was still full of energy.

He asked Madam Mingzhu, "By the way, where is Nongyu?"

"What, you don't think you've had enough fun?" Madam Mingzhu asked Jiang Chuan, barely managing to muster some strength.

0.5

Jiang Chuan smiled and said, "I just have some things to discuss with Nongyu."

"Really?" Madam Mingzhu looked at Jiang Chuan with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Jiang Chuan didn't offer any further explanation.

Nongyu went out to help Madam Mingzhu manage the spices.

Since Nongyu had completely won over Jiang Chuan, he settled her in the palace. Lady Mingzhu also trusted Nongyu quite a bit and entrusted her with many things.

Every month, the palace receives a batch of spices, many of which are essential for concocting the illusionary fragrance.

Lady Mingzhu entrusted this matter to Nongyu, asking her to fetch the spices.

Jiang Chuan's arrival at the palace today is quite unfortunate, but conversely, it's also quite coincidental.

Just as Jiang Chuan and Madam Mingzhu were talking about Nongyu, Nongyu returned.

Chapter 175 The Heavy Burden on Nongyu's Shoulder

When Nongyu entered Lady Mingzhu's bedroom with the incense, she immediately smelled an unusual scent.

The taste was very familiar to her.

Her face flushed slightly as she thought of certain things.

Immediately afterwards, a familiar voice reached Nongyu's ears, "Nongyu, you're back. You've kept me waiting for so long."

Upon hearing the voice, Nongyu immediately knew that Jiang Chuan had come here again.

She bowed slightly, facing the direction from which the voice came, and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

To be fair, she didn't actually have much affection for Jiang Chuan.

But for her mother's sake, she was willing to make some compromises.

"No need to be so polite, we're already so close." Jiang Chuan's voice reached Nong Yu's ears. "Come here."

Knowing what awaited her, Nongyu remained silent for a moment before replying, "Yes."

She walked forward, through the curtains, and finally saw the bed and the two people on it.

As expected, a major battle has already taken place between Jiang Chuan and Madam Mingzhu.

Jiang Chuan's combat strength is truly extraordinary.

Even after the end of World War I, she was still full of energy. Later, at the age of 27, Nongyu took over from Lady Mingzhu and fought against her.

The battle ended, and Nongyu was exhausted.

Jiang Chuan still had energy left, so he told Nongyu about something: "Zi Nu is in my hands."

Nongyu thought that Jiang Chuan's visit today was simply because he hadn't been to the palace in a long time and wanted to get intimate with Madam Mingzhu and herself, but she didn't expect things to be so simple.

“Sister Zi Nu…” Nong Yu’s expression changed slightly, and she became somewhat nervous.

Ever since she left the palace to help Lady Mingzhu send a message to Jiang Chuan and learned that Zilan Pavilion had been destroyed by fire, she had been unaware of Zi Nu's whereabouts. Even though Jiang Chuan said that the fire at Zilan Pavilion was not his doing, the fact remained that Sister Zi Nu and the others were missing, and it was impossible for Nongyu not to worry.

She never expected to hear such words from Jiang Chuan today. Had Sister Zi Nu actually fallen into Jiang Chuan's hands?

“You don’t need to worry or be nervous,” Jiang Chuan reassured Nongyu. “I’m here today to talk to you about Zi Nu.”

He recounted Zi Nu's story to Nong Yu in detail.

Only then did Nongyu learn that after Zilan Pavilion was destroyed by fire, Zinu and her sisters were actually hiding in various parts of Xinzheng City.

Ji Yihu died, and Ji Wuye was convinced that Wei Zhuang was responsible. He then launched a city-wide search to find the people from Zilanxuan, because Zilanxuan had a close relationship with Wei Zhuang.

In an attempt to stop the crazed Ji Wuye, Zi Nu deliberately appeared at the entrance of the General's Mansion to assassinate him, but ultimately failed.

Ji Wuye did not kill Zi Nu because he wanted to find Wei Zhuang's whereabouts.

Instead, they imprisoned him and subjected him to severe torture.

After Ji Wuye died, Bai Yifei became the master of the General's Mansion. Naturally, Zi Nu, who was imprisoned in the General's Mansion, fell into Bai Yifei's hands.

Although Nongyu was unaware of many things because she was in the palace, she knew one thing.

That is, Jiang Chuan is Bai Yifei.

The real Bai Yifei is long dead. The Bai Yifei in the outside world is undoubtedly Jiang Chuan.

Even without knowing about Zi Nu's assassination attempt on Ji Wu Ye, Nong Yu could guess that the deaths of Ji Wu Ye and Ji Yi Hu were definitely related to Jiang Chuan, because Jiang Chuan was the biggest beneficiary.

It's not surprising that she knew about the deaths of Ji Wuye and his son; the news had already spread throughout the palace.

What she didn't expect was that this matter actually involved the quicksand, Sister Zi Nu, and Mr. Wei Zhuang.

Thinking of how Sister Zi Nu was tortured by Ji Wu Ye in order to assassinate him.

Thinking of the many injustices suffered by Mr. Wei Zhuang.
