Soon, a middle-aged man in his thirties stepped into the mansion.

Upon seeing Chen Yu, the man immediately knelt on the ground with a thud, his face filled with grief, and said:

"Princess, the county princess's disappearance is truly bizarre. I suspect that she is still in the capital, but has been hidden by the Sixth Prince. I implore you, Princess, to investigate this matter as soon as possible, to bring justice to the county princess, and to return my wife to me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan was startled.

This man was none other than Huang Wentao, the husband of the Princess of Tiantong County.

However, the thought of Huang Wentao's experience is truly painful.

Just one year into their marriage, Chen Yingyun gave birth to a son.

What was originally a happy and harmonious family has turned into this mess due to the political scheming of the sixth prince.

Especially when Huang Wentao learns that Chen Yingyun has most likely been defiled by Su Rui, who is over fifty years old and ugly, and will continue to be defiled every day, losing his freedom, how devastated must he be?

"Not only you, but I also find this matter strange. To ensure your safety, you will temporarily reside in the Princess's residence for the time being. I will send troops to protect you and prevent villains from harming you. Remember, if you want to seek justice for Yingyun, you must live."

Chen Yu looked at Huang Wentao and said slowly.

Huang Wentao immediately kowtowed and knelt down: "As long as I can get justice for the county magistrate, I am willing to risk my life. The sixth prince has gone too far, and the county magistrate is kind, which is why she has been framed."

Seeing Huang Wentao's appearance, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

They really only bully honest people.

You can see Huang Wentao's feelings for Chen Yingyun.

Finally, Chen Xuan glanced at Huang Wentao:

"Wentao, I assure you, as long as my sworn sister is alive, I will find her and hand her over to you. If, unfortunately, she has already perished, then I will do everything in my power to seek justice for her."

Upon hearing this, Huang Wentao was immediately moved to tears and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I am deeply grateful for the King of Qin's great kindness; I can never repay it in this lifetime!"

"Your Majesty, I have other matters to attend to. I need to prepare for the selection of a husband for the Zhen family in Jizhou in three days, so I will take my leave now and we can talk again another day."

Chen Xuan bowed to Chen Yu and turned to leave.

"Mm." Chen Yu nodded.

As Chen Xuan left, watching his departing figure, a strange glint flashed in Chen Yu's eyes, and he thought to himself:

"The King of Qin is indeed acting strangely. How come he suddenly doesn't know so many things he should know? Could it be that my elder brother's suspicions were true? That shouldn't be the case, but he clearly already conducted the blood test to verify kinship?"

……

Back at the Qin Prince's Mansion.

Chen Xuan did not engage in witchcraft matters; his current focus was on the Zhen family of Jizhou selecting a son-in-law.

There must be absolutely no mistakes in this matter.

Zhen Mi had already given him her virginity.

This is a weighty trust.

No matter what, he couldn't afford to lose his woman. Even if he had a 90% chance of winning as a plagiarist, he would do everything in his power to increase that chance to 100%.

In the past few days, she has not touched Wang Qingyi or Meng Tingting.

He had no interest in having Zhao Yinyin dance in his palm for him.

He was constantly reviewing the ancient poems in his memory, such as the Five Hundred Tang Poems, Song Lyrics and Yuan Dramas, and any famous lines of poetry.

Three days passed in a flash.

The core members of the Zhen clan in Jizhou all came to the capital.

Including Zhen Mi.

Jizhou has been a place for raising troops since ancient times. The people of Jizhou are fierce and the soldiers are good at fighting.

The Zhen family of Jizhou holds the hearts and minds of the people of Jizhou, making them a powerful force that princes and powerful ministers alike seek to curry favor with.

Even Zhang Xianzhao only wanted his son to marry a woman from a collateral branch of the Zhen family.

However, all of them were rejected by the Zhen family of Jizhou.

It should be noted that Zhang Xianzhao was the head of the civil officials, holding the highest rank of the first grade.

Even so, these members of the Zhen family in Jizhou were too proud to accept him, because they said that he didn't have enough talented sons and there was a lack of successors.

Because of this, Zhang Xianzhao complained to Emperor Jin that the Zhen family of Jizhou looked down on him.

He even advised the Jin emperor to suppress the Zhen family of Ji Province.

However, Emperor Jin also had a soft spot for the Zhen family of Jizhou and always wanted his princes to marry the eldest daughter of the Zhen family to solidify the marriage alliance, so he naturally ignored Zhang Xianzhao's advice.

As members of the Zhen clan slowly arrived.

At that moment, a very eye-catching figure appeared in the crowd.

The princes present all had their eyes light up and looked over in unison.

"That is the jewel of the Zhen family of Jizhou, Miss Zhen Mi? Such beauty is truly heavenly. If you marry her, you will not only have political support from a prestigious family, but you will also have great prestige."

"It's a pity that with our status as illegitimate children or from a collateral branch, how dare we compete for Zhen Mi's future husband? He should be chosen from among the Prince of Qin, the Sixth Prince, and the Seventh Prince."

As everyone was discussing, Chen Zhi's gaze fell on Zhen Mi's stunningly beautiful face.

Upon seeing Zhen Mi's stunning beauty, Chen Zhi was completely stunned.

Although Zhen Mi in front of him was stunningly beautiful, she was the apple of his eye and the woman he had always dreamed of.

But I always have a vague feeling that this face looks somewhat familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before?

After pondering for a long time, a sharp glint suddenly appeared in Chen Zhi's eyes:

"Lu Shuang? So the scholar Lu Shuang in Lido Tower that day was Zhen Mi? Such stunning beauty, and poetic talent that is no less than mine, she is truly an extraordinary woman. In any case, such an extraordinary woman will belong to me, Chen Zhi."

Everyone was amazed by Zhen Mi's beauty.

Among all the princes, the sixth prince, Chen Feng, is relatively indifferent to beauty but extremely focused on power; he is not a love-struck fool.

Even he, at this moment, was greatly surprised by Zhen Mi's beauty.

"Absolutely stunning, truly stunning! Her beauty even surpasses that of Duo'er. Fortunately, I have already prepared everything. Today, Zhen Mi is mine to have." Saying this, he glanced at his strongest rivals, Chen Xuan and Chen Zhi, and sneered, "Do you two even deserve such a beauty?"

Just then.

Zhen Mi looked at Chen Xuan with her beautiful eyes, and as their eyes met, a sweet smile suddenly appeared on her face.

When Chen Xuan saw Zhen Mi, he recalled their time in the cave and immediately smiled back at her.

This scene made everyone extremely envious.

Seeing that his goddess ignored him and smiled only at Chen Xuan, Chen Zhi was consumed by jealousy.

Like an angry lion, it glared fiercely at Chen Xuan.

On the contrary, Chen Feng looked confident and thought to himself:

"Even if Zhen Mi is in love with you, so what? This is the rule of the Zhen family in Jizhou. Whoever wins the selection of a son-in-law will become the son-in-law of the Zhen family."

As he spoke, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Xuan, saying, "Chen Xuan, after I marry Zhen Mi, your death will not be far off."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "The Emperor has arrived."

Upon seeing Emperor Jin stride in, all the civil and military officials knelt down.
