"I..." He was confused for a moment. Facing such a fierce Chu Nanshan, Chu Qingyang didn't know whether to tell the truth or continue to play dumb!

But the bracelet painted on the rice paper in his hand was like ironclad evidence that he could not deny!

The face that had always been high-spirited was now in despair. The contradictory expression was clearly exposed in front of Chu Nanshan, making him even angrier!

"You came here today with the intention of demanding an explanation! You thought Feiyang had stopped your good deeds, so you felt aggrieved and wanted to seek justice from me! But Qingyang, have you ever thought about what you have done?" Chu Nanshan looked down at Chu Qingyang in front of him with frosty eyes, his face cold. The little love he had left disappeared with Chu Qingyang's aggressive words just now!

Hearing this, Chu Qingyang suddenly raised his head. The contradiction in his eyes disappeared because of Chu Nanshan's words. Since they already knew it, he didn't need to hide it anymore. The elegance on his face faded, and gradually a cruel look appeared on it. A dark light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a tough tone, "Grandfather, do you know that everything we have done was earned with our own hands! You can't erase our efforts just because you favor Chu Feiyang! He was able to get the throne without any effort, and we got the throne through our own efforts. Is that wrong? Besides, this matter has nothing to do with Chu Feiyang, but he insisted on interfering. He likes to meddle in other people's affairs. It's obviously annoying. No wonder my father has no fatherly love for him. He also..."

'Snap!'

A resounding slap instantly hit Chu Qingyang's face. Five red finger marks suddenly appeared on Chu Qingyang's originally clear face, and his whole face was even tilted. It can be seen how much strength Chu Nanshan used in this slap!

In addition, Chu Nanshan was originally a military general, and his strength was much greater than that of others. This palm strike made Chu Qingyang's left ear buzzing. After a while, the sound gradually subsided!

"Hahaha..." Unexpectedly, Chu Qingyang laughed out loud after reacting, with hatred running wildly in his eyes. He was no longer the careful man who concealed his ambition when he first came to Prince Chu's Mansion. His arrogant look made Chu Nanshan frown!

"Don't play tricks in front of me! The relationship between them as father and son is not something you can judge! You have received fatherly love for so many years, how can you know what Feiyang feels in his heart? Chu Qingyang, I think you are living too comfortably and receiving too many compliments on a daily basis, so you have become so arrogant! Do you think you are capable of being the King of Chu? What can you use to make Emperor Yugan nod his head? What can you use to convince the civil and military officials? What can you use to make the people of the world submit? That is what Feiyang got after fighting on the battlefield with his flesh and blood, and establishing his fame and prestige! Do you think there are any bargains to be made in this world?" He gave Chu Qingyang a chance, but this grandson was just like his own son. He was always obsessed with the throne and wanted to get his hands on it. Even sending him to the Wen family and following Wen Di could not eliminate this greed in his heart. This made Chu Nanshan extremely heartbroken and increasingly disappointed! The wording was much sharper!

"I can't do it, but what about father? He is your biological son, and you trained him! He has been in Youzhou for more than 20 years and has managed Youzhou in an orderly manner. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. It is only natural for my father to inherit the title, but why should it be passed on to Chu Feiyang instead of my father? What virtue and ability does he have to take away what originally belonged to my father? Now, he is even using this identity to persecute the Xie family in Youzhou and obstruct what my father has worked so hard to prepare! I don't accept it, grandfather, you can't be so partial!" But even after being slapped by Chu Nanshan, Chu Qingyang still had no intention of repenting. He was stubborn and questioned Chu Nanshan hysterically, staring at Chu Nanshan with hatred. The gentleness and courtesy on that handsome face had long been replaced by wolfish ambition. If the other party does not agree, I am afraid he will never give up!

However, life is full of different kinds of things, and Chu Nanshan has seen too many of them. Chu Qingyang's hatred was so weak that even his eyes did not change at all!

But the words came out with a hint of sneer, "Give it to him? Let him use my army to fight against his own people? All you care about is the throne, but you don't know that this throne was not given by you, but by the people! Even if you are lucky enough to win, I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined. Then, I'm afraid the people will rise up and attack you! Do you still have a stable hold on the throne?"

Hearing Chu Nanshan mention the word 'victory', Chu Qingyang's eyes instantly lit up with hope, and he spoke with a hint of hope, "Grandfather, why don't you let us go and give it a try? Perhaps we can really succeed! Besides, I am now Wen Di's student. The Wen family has many students all over the world. If we can recruit Wen Di, how can the scholars in this world start a war of rebellion?"

Seeing that Chu Qingyang was still so naive at this point, Chu Nanshan bluntly said, "Do you think Wen Di is a puppet without any ideas, who can be manipulated by others? He will do whatever you say? If that is the case, why didn't he agree with your suggestion and strive for the position of Left Prime Minister? Qingyang, you are also a smart child, but because of this intelligence, it has ruined your perspective on things! You only have arrogance in your eyes, and no attitude towards treating others equally!"

Chu Nanshan pointed out Chu Qingyang's shortcomings one by one!

Chu Qingyang, who has always lived in the care of his parents, has always gotten whatever he wants. Even the throne, he probably thinks Chu Pei will pass it on to him in the future!

Such an arrogant character makes him look down on everything and it is impossible for him to look at everything around him calmly. He thinks that he is the best person in the world. He carefully calculates everyone around him and does not take others seriously. He thinks that everyone is his pawn!

However, Chu Nanshan's words also revealed that even though Chu Qingyang was in the Wen Mansion, Chu Nanshan knew his every move and even what he said clearly, so he mentioned that Chu Qingyang had recently persuaded Wen Di to compete for the position of Left Prime Minister!

"Grandfather is so amazing that he even knows such a small matter! But now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Even if you want to stop it, it will be in vain!" He originally thought that Chu Nanshan was not in the palace, and he could escape his surveillance, but he didn't expect that the old man was still cunning. In the Wen Mansion, which had never had any relationship with the Chu Palace, there were people planted by Chu Nanshan!

But Chu Qingyang also knew in his heart that Chu Nanshan didn't dare to do anything to him!

If he spread the news of his affair with his father, the entire Chu Palace and the Chu Xiang Mansion would be doomed, and the Fuguogong Mansion and the Yun Xiang Mansion would probably be doomed as well! Since his heart and eyes were filled with the people of Western Chu, he probably couldn't bear to see these two mansions implicated because of his children and grandchildren!

Besides, I am his grandson after all. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. If he attacks me, won’t he be afraid of being cursed by the people of the world?

How could Chu Nanshan not guess what Chu Qingyang was thinking? He was just afraid that the kid had already realized that he was bound by the secular world and didn't dare to do anything to him!

I sighed slightly in my heart. It's such a pity that this child has such a clever mind. It's a pity that he didn't use it in the right way!

"Don't underestimate Wen Di. Although he is not in the officialdom, he sees things more clearly than anyone else. His heart is as calm as a mirror. This is what I mean by people like him! Don't try to impress him with gold, silver, jewelry, glory and wealth. He is not an ordinary mortal. How can he be bought by these mundane things? Although he is not in the court, his heart is concerned about the major events of the court and the people's livelihood! Your words and actions are all seen by him. I'm afraid he has already seen through it. Do you think you can convince him? It's a fool's dream!" It's a pity that Chu Qingyang's heart is not in Confucianism. I'm afraid he doesn't know how honorable it is to be accepted as a student by Wen Di!

Seeing that Chu Qingyang was about to open his mouth to refute again, Chu Nanshan immediately said, "As for your accusation that Feiyang blocked your progress, that is really nonsense! Do you think that Emperor Yugan is really a coward and incompetent? If he didn't have an army, do you think he could have sat on the throne for so many years under the hands of powerful enemies such as the Sea King and the Chen King? You are so naive! Do you think that you can overthrow Emperor Yugan by joining forces with Nanxun? Even if you succeed, how can you deal with Haiquan and Jiang Muchen? Do you think they will watch you fight each other and wait for one side to win before they are willing to serve you? Although Youzhou is not big, I didn't expect that you have learned to sit in the well and look at the sky, thinking that the world is only as big as the wellhead, and that you are the only smartest people in the world!"

Listening to Chu Nanshan's comments, Chu Qingyang gritted his teeth. He could never have imagined that the hard work he and his father had put in over the years was worthless in Chu Nanshan's eyes. No wonder his father had been so angry that he had not returned to Kyoto for many years!

"Didn't Chu Feiyang hinder us? Knowing that the Xie family is my mother's family, he didn't like the Xie family as soon as he arrived in Youzhou. Now he has even ordered Han Shaomian to seal up the Xie family and put all the people in the Xie family into jail. Isn't all this his revenge? If my mother, sister and I were not in Kyoto at this time, would he also want people to put us into jail? I'm afraid he has some personal grudges in his heart! He thinks that my mother has taken Xiahou Ying's position as Mrs. Chu and wants to avenge Xiahou Ying! Now he even wants to make Nanxun a vassal state. He has not only blocked our progress, but also cut off our retreat! What's more, big brother, is there anyone who cares about blood ties so much?" The throne has taken root in Chu Qingyang's heart and can no longer be removed. Therefore, Chu Qingyang will bear a grudge against anyone who stands in their way. What's more, this person is Chu Feiyang who always suppresses him, which makes him even more unwilling to accept!

At this time, the sun was setting, and the red glow from the window spread into the study, illuminating Chu Nanshan's back, but making Chu Qingyang, who was sitting next to him, look even more gloomy and cold. His sinister expression made people fear from the bottom of their hearts, and the cruelty in his eyes was beating strongly in the dim light!

Chu Nanshan suppressed Chu Qingyang's anger with the strength of Mount Tai, and spoke unmoved, "The Xie family's private mining of jade is already a capital crime. Even without Feiyang, Han Shaomian can still investigate and punish the Xie family! But, what makes me sad is that this matter was actually manipulated by your father! You think it was Feiyang who stopped you, but you don't think about it, he is cleaning up the mess for you! If he hadn't gone to Youzhou, the entire Xie family would have been beheaded long ago. How could Xie Yingping and others survive to this day? Do you think you are wronged? Feiyang is not wronged? He was implicated by you for no reason. I am afraid that someone in the court will use this matter to cause trouble in the future! As for Xie Yuanyuan and Xie Wanwan, if someone with ulterior motives finds out their identities, do you think you can still rebel? Our entire Chu family has long been executed by the order of Emperor Yugan!"

Chu Nanshan felt a slight pain in his heart. He saw the shadow of Chu Pei in Chu Qingyang. Such self-righteousness, such self-centeredness, such... selfishness...

"When grandfather was fighting for the world on horseback, wasn't he also not sure of victory? Why can grandfather do it, but we can't? Why do you think that the Western Chu Kingdom belongs to the Jiang family? The change of dynasties is sooner or later, why not let the Chu family dominate the world? If grandfather is old, then let him live in retirement for a thousand years, and his children and grandchildren will fight for their own future!" Chu Qingyang stood up firmly, with stubbornness and unwillingness in his eyes. The unwillingness in his heart had long made him not want to stay in Prime Minister Chu's mansion. He felt that his actions today were really ridiculous!

After he finished speaking, Chu Qingyang turned around and walked out of the study angrily, leaving the Chu Xiang Mansion without looking back!

"Prince!" Jiao Da, who had been guarding outside the door the whole time, naturally heard all the conversation just now. He didn't expect that the young master would misunderstand the two princes in this way. With such a mind, even if he became the emperor, it would not be a blessing for the people!

"I'm fine! Go to the palace and tell everyone not to let any of these five people go. We must not let them cause any more trouble!" Chu Nanshan walked back to his desk and sat down, looking a little lonely as he sat in the sunset...

Jiao Da looked at Chu Nanshan, feeling somewhat worried, but he still obeyed Chu Nanshan's orders, immediately turned around to catch up with Chu Qingyang, and rode towards the Prince Chu's Mansion!

"Madam, the young master just sent someone to report that there will be no dinner!" At dinner time, the butler walked into the side hall and reported to the people who were preparing to eat!

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xie Shuyi stood up and asked anxiously in her eyes!

Now that something big has happened to the Xie family, and her husband is not around, if her son makes another mistake at this time, Xie really doesn't know what to do!

"What's wrong with brother? Why not ask someone to send him some dinner so that he won't be hungry!" Chu Jie was also very worried. The love between brother and sister is all in this ordinary care!

"No! You three can use it first, I'll be back soon!" Xie, who knew that Chu Qingyang had just been to Prime Minister Chu's residence, led her personal nanny and quickly walked out of the side hall and walked towards Chu Qingyang's yard!

When they reached the yard, Mrs. Xie asked everyone to stay in the yard to serve, and she went into the house alone!

"It's getting late, why don't you turn on the lights?" The inner room was dim, and only a straight figure could be seen sitting motionless at the table. Xie was frightened and her heart trembled slightly. Then she recognized it as Chu Qingyang's back and spoke!

Then she walked to the candlestick as if she was familiar with it, took the tinder beside her and lit a candle. After covering the lampshade, she picked it up and walked towards Chu Qingyang!

"I'm fine, mother. You should have dinner with my three sisters!" But Chu Qingyang avoided the candlelight intentionally or unintentionally, as if he really didn't want anyone to see his appearance at this moment!

However, the more he did this, the more confused Xie became. She immediately put the candlestick on the table and walked quickly to Chu Qingyang!

"Ah!" She was shocked. She had never imagined that her son's left cheek would be stamped with a handprint. His usually handsome face was slightly swollen and red. Xie was shocked and filled with anger. She held her son's face in her hands and shouted angrily, "Who did this? Doesn't he know who you are?"

Chu Qingyang irritably brushed away Xie's hands, and with a hint of hatred, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if this person is my father, he wouldn't dare to show up!"

Thinking of what he had just experienced in Prime Minister Chu's residence, Chu Qingyang was furious. Why was he, a legitimate grandson, treated so differently? What was so great about Chu Feiyang?

However, Xie understood the meaning of Chu Qingyang's words, especially after seeing the anger and unwillingness in his eyes, she knew more clearly who did it!

However, she couldn't believe that Chu Nanshan would actually attack his own grandson? In his eyes, there was no one else except Chu Feiyang?

The anger in her eyes gradually gathered, and Xie turned around and prepared to walk out...

"Mom, where are you going?" Chu Qingyang saw this and immediately grabbed Xie, asking anxiously! Xie was not himself. Chu Nanshan would never show mercy to an outsider, not to mention that he did not show mercy to his grandson!

Xie was held by Chu Qingyang and she stumbled and almost fell. After she finally stood up by holding the edge of the table, she saw that Chu Qingyang had turned around and looked at her with cold eyes. Xie's heart trembled, and she felt even more distressed for Chu Qingyang!

"Qingyang, you..." Chu Qingyang has always been calm and self-possessed, with an elegant and humble look on his face. He rarely looks so gloomy, which makes Xie worry about her only son!

"Mom, don't go!" Even though Xie hadn't explained where she was going, Chu Qingyang knew she was going to argue with Chu Nanshan! However, with Xie's status, if she argued with her father-in-law, it would only be bad for her mother's reputation and would make Chu Feiyang's revenge even more fierce!

Xie shook off her son's pull with one hand, her face suddenly darkened, and she said in a cold voice, "My son has been wronged. As a mother, can't I seek justice for him? Even if he was the King of Chu, he couldn't hit others! What's more, you are his grandson! I don't believe that he would hit Chu Feiyang like this!" After all, she was still very upset!

Chu Qingyang insisted on pulling Xie to sit down. Hatred flashed in his eyes, and then he sighed and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Don't go! They knew about our affairs long ago!"

After she finished speaking, Xie's eyes widened, and her lips slightly parted. She stared at Chu Qingyang's serious expression for a long time before slowly coming back to her senses. However, her eyes were filled with too much doubt and disbelief. She began to shake her head at Chu Qingyang, and she couldn't understand how Chu Feiyang and Chu Nanshan knew such a secret matter!

With hands dripping with cold sweat, Xie suddenly grabbed Chu Qingyang's arm and asked anxiously, "What did they know? How much do they know?"

Chu Qingyang looked at the last bit of hope hidden in his mother's eyes, but gave a cruel answer. "They already know what they should know! We have no secrets in front of them! Mother, we have been played like monkeys by these two! Father is Chu Feiyang's father, and he treated his own father like this. He would do anything for the position of King Chu. It's really terrible! I have witnessed the killing of one's own flesh and blood! If we don't get rid of Chu Feiyang, I am afraid that it will take some effort for Father to ascend to the throne in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the color drained away from Xie's face. She didn't expect that they would act like clowns in front of Chu Nanshan and Chu Feiyang. She was afraid that these two people must be laughing at home right now!

"Now I finally understand why Chu Feiyang is targeting the Xie family and why he forced Nan Lan into a desperate situation as soon as he went to Nanxun! I'm afraid he had planned all this in the beginning! Now that we are in chaos, he must be very proud of himself! What a sinister Chu Feiyang is, he actually treated your father like this!" Letting go of Chu Qingyang, Xie clenched her hands on the table tightly, and her nails painted with red nails dug deep into her palms, leaving ten different marks!

"They also know the life stories of Yuanyuan and Wanwan! Jiao Da was ordered to come to the palace just now and has ordered that the five of us must not be released! We are now trapped in a jar. I am afraid that Chu Feiyang will deal with us when he returns from Nanxun!" For a while, Chu Qingyang had not figured out a response plan, so he could only analyze the current situation to Xie!

Xie was also in a state of confusion at this moment. Her clenched hands kept loosening and tightening. After thinking for a while, she frowned and said, "Aren't they afraid of angering us and revealing everything? Let's just fight to the death!"

Until now, Xie still had a glimmer of hope in her heart. They were all descendants of the Chu family, and she believed that Chu Nanshan would not be so ruthless!

Chu Qingyang was not optimistic about the current situation. The other party had already taken the dominant position and they seemed very passive. Moreover, their foundation in Beijing was still shallow and not enough to compete with Chu Nanshan and Chu Feiyang. If they fought hard, they would be the ones who suffered losses!

Moreover, in the conversation with Chu Nanshan just now, Chu Qingyang had already understood that Chu Feiyang would not let the Xie family go this time, but he didn't know how he would deal with the people in the Prince Chu's Mansion!

The candlelight flickered, and both mother and son frowned, staring blankly!

Xie's eyes were drawn to the blood-red candle in front of her. An idea flashed through her mind, and she said, "Qingyang, how about you marry Wanwan now? This way, perhaps you can preserve your father's great cause!"

Hearing his mother say this, Chu Qingyang immediately raised his eyes and looked at Xie with surprise, but did not immediately say anything against it!

After all, although the Wan family and the Chu family have an agreement, they do not have any marriage relationship. If he marries Wanwan at this time, the Chu and Wan families will be relatives, and Chu Feiyang will not kill them all!

Could he bear to see his grandfather being pushed to the guillotine?

But, weren’t the Chu and Xie families also married, and didn’t Chu Feiyang take action in the same way?

"Qingyang!" Seeing that Chu Qingyang didn't reply for a long time, Xie anxiously called him again, waiting for her son's reply!

"Mom, please let me think about it again!" Chu Qingyang frowned and spoke with difficulty. What happened today happened too suddenly, and he had to think about it carefully!

Mrs. Xie watched Chu Qingyang's face, fearing that her son would refuse, so she continued, "You will marry one of them sooner or later, so why bother about this moment? What's more, Nan Lan is already dead, and Nan Hongye is suppressed by Nan Yijun. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us! We can only act before Chu Feiyang makes a move, so that we can turn defeat into victory! Otherwise, your sister's matter, I'm afraid..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Xie's face was suddenly filled with sorrow. In addition to her son, she also had a daughter. Her daughter's marriage was particularly important, but the prerequisite was that her son could satisfy her. Otherwise, Jie'er's marriage would be a pipe dream!

Listening to Mrs. Xie's analysis, Chu Qingyang raised his eyebrows slightly. Facing his mother, he didn't want to make her worry. Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. I'm just thinking about whether there are other ways. If it doesn't work, I will definitely act according to your wishes!"

Seeing that Chu Qingyang was not opposed to this marriage, Xie finally let go of the breath that had been clenching in her heart. She then reached out and stroked Chu Qingyang's cheek, saying with heartache, "He's your grandson after all, and you really had the heart to do this to him! How can you go out and see people these days when you're like this?"

"I'm fine! Mom, you should go back. I want to be alone!" After helping Xie stand up, Chu Qingyang walked her to the door. Then he returned to the inner room and sat down again, thinking about other possibilities in his mind!

"Mom, is my brother okay?" When Xie returned to the side hall, Chu Jie and the other two had already finished their dinner. Chu Jie walked up to Xie with concern, supported her, and asked!

Mrs. Xie patted Chu Jie's tender white hands lovingly, her smiling eyes swept across Xie Wanwan beside her, and then she said to her daughter, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired after listening to Teacher Wen's lecture today, so I rested early!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jie smiled sweetly, then helped Xie sit down and served her the dishes...

And at this time in the Han Mansion...

"Brother, it's time for dinner!" Han Yu led the maid into the study, but saw Han Che still buried in books, so she spoke with a smile!

Hearing his sister's voice, Han Che finally raised his somewhat stiff neck and turned to look out the window. He didn't realize that the sky outside was already pitch black. Putting down the brush in his hand, Han Che turned his neck, crossed his hands and moved his ten fingers forward, then slowly said, "It's already night!"

Seeing that her brother took so long to react, Han Yu smiled and ordered the maids to put the dinner on the small table nearby. After sending them away, she walked over to the small table, rearranged the dishes, and said with a smile, "Yes, everyone knows that it's late, only you, a busy and nerdy guy, don't know! Come and have dinner!"

Seeing that his sister had already brought the food to him, Han Che smiled slightly, then closed the letter in front of him, stood up and walked to the small table. When he saw the steaming dinner on the table, he was deeply moved!

"Come and sit down!" Han Yu poured a bowl of hot soup for his brother and placed it in front of him. Then he picked up the chopsticks and picked up some dishes that Han Che liked for him. However, his eyes swept across the desk behind him and saw the pile of paper money on it. His eyes flashed slightly, but he did not ask any questions. He just carefully served rice to Han Che!

"By the way, brother, someone just came from the Han Mansion..." Putting a full bowl of rice in front of Han Che, Han Yu spoke lightly, and the dazzling light disappeared from his half-closed eyes!

"Han Mansion?" Han Che asked softly after taking the bowl from his sister. Then he remembered that he had met Han Shaomian's father, Han Zhengyi, at a dinner party at Prince Duan's Mansion. "What's the matter?"

Han Yu finally had some free time. Seeing her brother swallow a mouthful of rice, she spoke, "The steward of the Han Mansion said that their master wants to see you!"

Han Che slowed down his chewing movements slightly. He glanced at Han Yu, then frowned and continued to eat the dinner in his hand. However, his mind was turning rapidly. Now that Han Shaomian was far away in Youzhou, Han Zhengyi would definitely not look for him because of Han Shaomian's affairs, so...

"Brother, how can you be in a daze while eating?" Han Che was lost in thought for a moment, holding the bowl and chopsticks in both hands but not eating. Han Yu was both angry and amused, and could only speak out to interrupt his silly look!

Han Che suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head with a smile, and continued eating. He took the time to ask, "How did you reply?"

Seeing Han Che asking the key question, Han Yu lowered her head and twirled the handkerchief in her hand. After a long while, she raised her head and said calmly, "I accepted it on behalf of my brother! Master Han invites you to visit the Han Mansion in three days!"

Hearing this, Han Che nodded. He was only a sixth-rank Hanlin editor, so his family background was naturally much lower than that of the Han family. He had no reason to be arrogant. Moreover, he had always been on good terms with Han Shaomian, so there was no reason for him to refuse Master Han's invitation!

After finishing dinner quickly, Han Che saw Han Yu pack up everything and leave, then he stood up and walked to the window, raised his head, and saw that the bright moon in the night sky was always so bright, and the stars beside it were flickering. The clear night sky was clear at a glance, but the human heart was not like the beautiful scenery in front of it. The hidden thoughts were the most unexpected!

Gradually withdrawing his gaze, Han Che walked to the desk and sat down again. He looked at the pile of memorials, a sneer on his face. How could he not know the emperor's thoughts? However, since he had already chosen his side, he naturally would not change easily. Perhaps this was an opportunity...

Picking up another folder, Han Che continued what he had been doing in the candlelight...

"Master, it's getting late, it's time to rest!" At this time in the Han Mansion, Mrs. Han walked up to her husband, put the coat on her arm on Han Zhengyi's shoulders, and stood with him under the eaves corridor to watch the moonlight tonight!

"In three days, I will be able to see Han Hanlin!" Han Zhengyi looked up and admired the night scenery, murmuring to his wife!

Upon hearing this, Madam Han turned to look at her husband, her eyes showing surprise and worry. Her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and after a while she slowly spoke, "Hasn't it been checked?"

Ever since the dinner at Prince Duan's Mansion, my husband ordered people to carefully investigate Han Che's background, but everything seemed normal. However, I didn't expect that he would never give up and even sent the butler to the Han Mansion to invite Han Che today!

Han Zhengyi listened to his wife's question and sighed slightly. He patted Mrs. Han's hand and said slowly, "There are too many falsehoods in this world! I won't believe it unless I ask for your advice!"

But Madam Han was unwilling to watch her husband sink deeper and deeper into despair, so she could only carefully advise, "Don't offend Han Hanlin! He's a favorite of the Emperor now. If the answer he gives is different from what you guessed, wouldn't you be offending him for nothing?"

It is precisely because the Han family is not as prominent as the four major families that they have been able to survive safely for so many years. Mrs. Han naturally does not want to see her family being involved in these right and wrongs. If she can persuade her husband to let go, it will naturally be a good thing!

Hearing his wife's worry, Han Zhengyi smiled calmly, retracted his gaze from the sky, and turned to look softly at his wife who had been accompanying him all the time, and said gently, "Don't worry, I know what to do! But there is always a question in my heart. If I don't ask it clearly, I will not be able to sleep or eat! Although Han Che is a child of a poor family, but his appearance is..."

As he spoke, Han Zhengyi fell into deep thought, his eyes filled with nostalgia and heartache!

Seeing this, Madam Han didn't say anything more, but just stood with him under the eaves...

Nanxun, the posthouse!

The rain was drizzling, and because of the rain, the heat of the day was suppressed. Chu Feiyang got up early in the morning, accompanied Yun Qianmeng to finish breakfast, then took the hat beside him and prepared to go out!

"Let me do it!" After wiping the corner of her mouth, Yun Qianmeng stood up and took the hat from Chu Feiyang's hand. As he bent down, she stood on tiptoe and gently put the hat on his head. Then she gently tied a bow around his neck. Then she said, "I didn't expect Chu Qingyang to misunderstand you so deeply. Alas..."

A gentle sigh expressed all the emotions in Yun Qianmeng's heart at the moment!

Between Chu Feiyang and Chu Qingyang, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Chu Qingyang gets more!

However, in Chu Qingyang's heart, power and status are the only things he pursues! Family affection is just a means for him to obtain these things!

But in Chu Feiyang's heart, those are just external things!

"Why sigh! Why sigh for him!" Chu Feiyang put on his hat by himself, then reached out and scratched the tip of Yun Qianmeng's nose, saying with some disapproval that he didn't want Yun Qianmeng to worry about his family's affairs!

Yun Qianmeng smiled, took Chu Feiyang's warm hand, and said with some melancholy, "I can't believe they would even think of getting married just to deal with you!"

Fortunately, I received the news from my grandfather, otherwise the situation would have become more complicated because of Xie’s proposal!

"Don't worry! Your husband will enter the palace immediately!" Chu Feiyang said with a faint smile, not taking Xie's advice to heart! Moreover, now that there is a rift between Prime Minister Wan and Chu Pei, given his love for the Xie sisters, he would probably not be happy to let Chu Qingyang marry them!

What's more, Nan Yijun and Prime Minister Wan are already in a state of hostility. How could he be willing to see his enemy become stronger?

Seeing Chu Feiyang's relaxed tone, Yun Qianmeng smiled and nodded, reaching out to help him adjust the bamboo hat in front of him, and then said, "Be careful when you go out!"

After seeing Chu Feiyang off to the door and watching Xi Lin approaching with an umbrella, Yun Qianmeng turned around and returned to the inner room!

The carriage drove through the muddy water and arrived at the Nanxun Palace in the heavy rain. Chu Feiyang was led by the eunuch to the Council Hall, but found that Nan Yijun was sitting inside in a daze!

"What kind of problem has the Regent encountered? He is thinking so hard!" Chu Feiyang took off his hat and bamboo hat, stepped into the council hall with a refreshed look, and spoke with a faint smile!

Nan Yijun raised his eyes immediately after hearing the sound. Seeing Chu Feiyang's bright face, and hearing him say this, he felt annoyed. Now that Nan Xun had eliminated Xi Chu, there was nothing else for him to think about! Chu Feiyang clearly knew that he was the one giving him a headache, yet he deliberately spoke like this. He was really taking advantage of the situation!

Nan Yijun laughed along with Chu Feiyang, and after he put away the sleepy look in his eyes, he stood up to greet him. "Why did your Highness come here today?"

"Of course I'm here for the affairs of the two countries! I have already met the Regent's request and given him a grace period! But I don't know if the Regent can also give me a satisfactory answer!" Chu Feiyang approached Nan Yijun with a forced smile, his eyes flashing with coldness, and spoke calmly!

"I didn't expect the prince to be so anxious. It seems that the deadline has not yet arrived!" Hearing Chu Feiyang say this, a trace of annoyance flashed in Nan Yijun's eyes, and he responded quickly and spoke!

"It will be soon! It will only take a few hours. I can certainly wait!" However, Chu Feiyang pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Nan Yijun in a casual and generous manner, waiting patiently for the other party's final reply!
