The letter was delivered by Xu Di. He probably thought that Xu Zhi had too many confidants arranged by Emperor Liang Cheng, so he didn't dare to send the letter to Xu Zhi, but instead sent it to Wu Muyue.

The letter contained information about Mr. Chu that Xu Di had inquired about.

This Mr. Chu, whose full name is Chu Zhiwei, courtesy name Ziwei, is from Yingtian Prefecture. He was intelligent and studious from a young age and was a well-known child prodigy.

At ten, one takes the entrance exam for the lowest level of education, then the next level, and finally the next level, until the age of eighteen, when one comes to the capital to take the entrance exam for the highest level of education.

I don't know why, but I failed the exam twice, so I simply stopped taking it and became an advisor to an official who was going to another place.

Chu Zhiwei was shrewd and knew the ways of officialdom. He managed to help that official rise from a local official to the capital. Because of this, Chu Zhiwei was recommended by that official to Meng Qiuping, the Minister of Rites.

For some reason, Chu Zhiwei is now secretly getting very close to the Sixth Prince, Xiao Tan.

Xu Zhi guessed that the other young man she saw at Dafosi Temple that day must be the Sixth Prince Xiao Tan. She really didn't expect to meet these two people at Dafosi Temple.

Xu Zhi couldn't help but wonder if it was because the Sixth Prince and Chu Zhiwei saw her and Shen Mingwan that Chu Zhiwei later went to the manor for help after being injured?

The Sixth Prince had a very low profile, but he was the ultimate winner in this battle for the throne. In the end, none of the first three princes made it to the end, while the Sixth Prince, who was not well-known in his daily life, became the final winner.

Everyone says the Sixth Prince is lucky, but Xu Zhi now understands that it's not that he's lucky, but that he knows how to assess the situation and make use of various circumstances. Otherwise, how could the Sixth Prince, without any powerful supporters, have survived such fierce battles to the end? With a few strategists like Chu Zhiwei by his side, who are shameless enough to abandon their own dignity when necessary, how could he not achieve great things?

After the Sixth Prince ascended the throne, he carried out a very bloody purge of the court. In the end, very few of the century-old aristocratic families in the capital survived. For Xu Zhi and her family, the fact that they were exiled to a harsh and cold place and that they survived was already a good ending.

Xu Zhi was thinking about the Sixth Prince, but found that there seemed to be no news about him. After adult princes got married, they had to move out of the palace and establish their own residences. She only heard that the Sixth Prince's birth mother was a palace maid who was favored by Emperor Liang Cheng and had the Sixth Prince. She was granted a title by Emperor Liang Cheng because of her son, but neither she nor her son were particularly favored.

There were some rumors about the sixth prince last year. It was said that the empress wanted to arrange marriages for the fifth and sixth princes, who were still underage. However, many of the young ladies in the capital were not willing to have their parents marry these two princes.

She had only heard about it secretly from others. Xu Zhi had never met the Fifth Prince or the Sixth Prince. She had only heard people say that the Fifth Prince was fine, but the Sixth Prince was a handsome young man who resembled his mother. He usually stayed in the palace and rarely left.

There wasn't much useful information on that account paper. After watching Xu Zhi finish reading it, Wu Muyue asked her, "Xiao Jiu, what are your thoughts on this?"

Xu Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, after Sister Mingwan met this Mr. Chu mentioned in the letter, she told me that she felt that this person's actions were somewhat deliberate. Now it seems that from the moment they met us, they were doing this intentionally."

Wu Muyue gently shook his head and said, "Even that chance encounter with you guys behind the Great Buddha Temple was probably intentional."

Hearing this, Xu Zhi looked at Wu Muyue in surprise. Wu Muyue sighed and said, "Xiao Jiu, in this life-or-death struggle, no one is as simple as they appear. This sixth prince, although he is not often seen in public, often enters and leaves the emperor's study. He is a very filial child."

Xu Zhi immediately understood, nodded, and said, "Uncle, I understand. He knows that the current emperor wants to take over what Mingwan and I were doing, so he came here under some pretext."

Wu Muyue smiled and said, "Aren't you quite good at thinking things through?"

Xu Zhi sighed and said, "Uncle, I really didn't expect that someone could be so scheming. I only saw him once that day at the back mountain, and I didn't even get a good look at what the Sixth Prince looked like. The next day, he found a few people and came to our door."

Xu Zhi simply recounted what happened last night, saying, "I was afraid he wouldn't make any moves, so I brought my men here. However, I left Lord Jia behind. I told them repeatedly that if anything happened, they should disregard everything else and run to us with their men. I've already taken him away. Let's see what kind of trouble they can cause now."

Upon hearing this, Wu Muyue burst into laughter, saying, "Xiao Jiu, you're much cuter than when you were little."

Xu Zhi pursed her lips and kept laughing. After the grandfather and granddaughter finished laughing, Wu Muyue said, "Actually, it would be best if His Majesty wanted to do what you wanted to do together. With His Majesty's support, you would have an imperial sword. Moreover, if there is anything you can't solve on your own, you can go to His Majesty. If this matter is done well, it will benefit the country and the people. For His Majesty, it will be recorded in history books, giving him a chance to be remembered in history. How could His Majesty not want that?"

Xu Zhi listened and nodded. Wu Muyue pointed to the letter and said, "Your brother made it very clear in his letter that we must be careful. Fortunately, the guards around you were sent by the Emperor. We can't really guess what the Emperor means. We should just do what we should do."
