Jiang Zhenning left a note for Mei Zi, picked up his sword, and prepared to leave the small courtyard where he and Mei Zi had lived for almost a year.

He had just reached the gate of the courtyard.

Mei Zi then pushed the door open and came in from the outside.

Seeing Jiang Zhenning carrying a sword, Mei Zi wasn't very surprised, but a faint sadness appeared in her usually indifferent eyes: "She was so heartless to you, yet you still wanted to die for her."

"Mohu, I know you mean well, but Yun'er once saved my life deep in the snow-capped peaks."

"A woman's innocence is more valuable than her life, yet she has never used it to blackmail me. I swore back then that for the rest of my life, Jiang Zhenning, I would only live and die for her," Jiang Zhenning said emotionally.

He kept these words in his heart for more than 20 years, but when he said them, they were still burning with passion!

Chen Ziyun has never used this as leverage.

Oh……

Tears welled up in Mei Zi's eyes as she turned her face away.

Chen Ziyun would certainly not use this matter to blackmail Jiang Zhenning, because the person who sacrificed her innocence to save Jiang Zhenning deep in the snowy mountains back then was Mei Zi!

After she absorbed Jiang Zhenning's poison, she went up the snow mountain alone to find a snow silkworm to cure the poison.

She will return from the mountain in seven days;

Chen Ziyun, that pretentious woman, has become Jiang Zhenning's ideal woman.

She was enchantingly purple, and lived a life of aloofness!

She saved Jiang Zhenning not to coerce him into taking responsibility for her or marrying no one else.

But that woman, Chen Ziyun!

She's fickle and vicious!

Mei Zi couldn't bear to watch Jiang Zhenning being fooled by that vicious woman any longer.

He even wanted to die for that wicked woman!

Seeing Mei Zi's expression, Jiang Zhenning frowned and continued walking out with a limp.

Just as Jiang Zhenning was about to pass by, Mei Zi took a deep breath and said, "What if I told you that the person who saved you back then wasn't Chen Ziyun?"

“It was Yun’er. I saw her cleaning the sores on her shoulder by herself in the room back then. She only got those sores when she was detoxifying me,” Jiang Zhenning said with certainty.

Mei Zi smiled sadly.

Chen Ziyun truly deserves to be called a woman who successfully climbed into Di Kanlong's bed, conceived his child, and then successfully ascended to the position of Empress of the Great Zhao Dynasty.

The methods were indeed ruthless and meticulous!

“You’ve got a limp, what can you do for her now? You weren’t a match for the Ninth Prince before, and you’re even less of a match for him now.” Mei Zi suppressed the bitterness in her heart, her words and tone becoming as sharp and cold as before.

Jiang Zhenning paused, a hint of dejection flashing across his eyes, but he said with unusual stubbornness, "I know that Yun'er has high hopes for Di Kanlong, and Di Kanlong must have other purposes for surrendering and coming to the capital."

The Ninth Prince is currently stationed outside the capital. I'll risk my life to gather some information for Yun'er!

Mei Zi clenched her fists tightly, then relaxed them, and said coldly, "I'll go with you. Di Kanlong is my senior brother, and his business is my business too."

That's all.

Mei Zi turned around and quickly went out the door.

Jiang Zhenning, limping, couldn't keep up with her, nor could he stop her, so he had to struggle to keep up.

With Wuying, Wuhen, and Wushang all present, their prestige in the army was no less than that of Shang Xiye himself. Therefore, even if Shang Xiye did not show up for the time being, the army stationed in the suburbs of the capital city remained completely orderly.

Mei Zi and Jiang Zhenning didn't dare to get too close.

The two waited until late at night.

Most of the soldiers were asleep, leaving only a small squad on night patrol before the two men moved.

However, Jiang Zhenning was limping, so his footsteps in the grass and bushes were quite loud.

Mei Zi turned around and glanced at him.
