Upon hearing the coachman's invitation, the Prince of Qi's breathing became rapid.

There are very few people in the world who can receive an invitation from that lady.

He was always arrogant, but he had never had the chance to meet her. He thought that she was a woman that even the emperor, his father, and various noblemen in the capital had longed for but could not have, so it was normal for her to ignore him.

But now they've actually invited Zu'an, whom he looks down on, to meet him in the carriage—something he wouldn't even dare to dream of!

A guest of honor!

The word even popped into his mind, but he immediately realized it probably wasn't what he was thinking.

But nowadays, even when invited to ride in a carriage, one must enter through the curtain of the carriage door; to some extent, it seems reasonable to call them "guests who enter the curtain."

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Zuan was no longer one of disdain, but rather one of both jealousy and envy.

Why, why would the stunningly beautiful Miss Chu choose this guy!

Now even the most beautiful woman in the capital, Er Yu Yanluo, is showing him favor.

Anger from Zhao Zhi: +555 +555 +555...

The crucial point is that he suddenly realized that Yu Yanluo had seen him in such a disheveled state, which was truly the ultimate social death!

He originally thought there weren't many spectators around, and the common people had already hidden themselves away, each keeping their doors tightly shut. As for Chu Youzhao and Murong Qinghe, they were, after all, part of the Qi King's faction and wouldn't go out and spread rumors. The carriage over there looked like an ordinary family's, so he could just secretly dispose of it afterward.

That way, the news of his crushing defeat at the hands of Zu'an wouldn't spread. But this ordinary carriage turned out to be occupied by Yu Yanluo, the former most beautiful woman in the capital.

Killing him is definitely out of the question. If he even dares to have that thought, his father would probably be the first to slap him to death.

And he himself couldn't bear to part with it!

He had once seen her from afar, and he often dreamed of her. Her stunning beauty seemed to belong to a different world. What man could bear to destroy such a masterpiece bestowed by God?

But the more he thought about how she had seen him being trampled underfoot by Zu'an, the more upset he became.

Damn Zu'an!

Anger points from Zhao Zhi: +1024 +1024 +1024...

Zu An was somewhat puzzled at this moment: "Who is your wife?"

The coachman with the missing tooth chuckled: "You'll see when you get there."

Zu An glanced at Prince Qi and Han Fengqiu, and couldn't help but wonder, who exactly was this person who could make them both wary?

At this moment, the woman in the carriage spoke up: "Young master, this young man just saved me. Could you please give me some face and let this matter drop for now?"

Her voice was soft and pleasant to listen to, without being overtly affected or affected, but it was so sweet that it could melt your heart.

Murong Qinghe was filled with envy: "Oh, I wish I could speak that well."

"Your voice is actually quite nice, much better than some people's affected mannerisms," Chu Youzhao said angrily. For some reason, she naturally felt hostile towards this mysterious woman, always feeling that she had ulterior motives towards her brother-in-law.

"Really?" Hearing her beloved praise her like that, Murong Qinghe was both surprised and delighted, and two blushes immediately appeared on her face.

My voice is clearly not as nice as his, but Brother Chu said that. I guess he must care about me a lot. Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed.

The Prince of Qi was somewhat excited. Yu Yanluo actually spoke to me, and she did so on her own initiative!

He was somewhat flattered and subconsciously wanted to stand up and straighten his clothes, only to find that his clothes had just been charred by his own lightning. Fortunately, Han Fengqiu, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and hurriedly wrapped a robe around him, thus preventing him from making a fool of himself.

He glared fiercely at Zu'an, thinking to himself, "If I don't avenge this, I'll write my name Zhao Zhi backwards!"

However, when he looked towards the carriage, the fierce expression on his face was immediately replaced by a smile: "Since it is the lady who asked for this, I will certainly give her face. Zu, there will be someone to judge you for the murder of the officer. Let's go!"

Han Fengqiu breathed a sigh of relief. If he had stayed here to face that mysterious expert, he really wouldn't know what to do.

As expected of the Crown Prince, he has inherited his father's true talent and managed to leave so legitimately, without making it seem like they were fleeing in panic.

The Prince of Qi, whom he admired greatly, secretly regretted his actions, thinking, "Damn it, why did I have to show off?"

I should harden my heart and refuse Madam Yu. Maybe that will attract her attention even more, and at least I can stay here and talk to her more.

Sigh, we finally managed to run into each other, but we didn't even get to see each other. Meanwhile, that guy Zuan managed to get so close to her in the carriage.

Zaun is indeed a spineless coward who only knows how to hide under women's skirts!

I also want to hide under Madam Keyu's skirt.

Ugh, I'm so angry!

Anger points from Zhao Zhi: +924 +924 +924...

Zuan watched them leave, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately did not make a move.

Even a peak ninth-rank expert isn't so easy to deal with, and the other party's father, the Prince Qi, is also a big problem. It's not time for a fight to the death yet.

"Ahem, our lady invites you over," the toothless coachman said, approaching him with a hint of displeasure in his voice.

What a joke! In this capital, who isn't honored to receive an invitation from my lady? Not a single one of them isn't eager to see her. Yet this guy, who clearly looks like a womanizer, is now as steady as a rock.
