Seeing that everyone had left, Wen Zizhuo also got up and headed out of the palace.
In front of the carriage.
Wen Zizhuo just reached out and lifted the car curtain.
"Your Highness?"
A soft call suddenly came from inside the dark carriage.
Wen Zizhuo was already half-drunk. Hearing the voice, he was startled and immediately stood still: "Who's inside?"
Before the coachman could speak, Yan Jingzhi took a deep breath and took the initiative to explain:
"Your Highness, it is I, Yan Jingzhi, the second young lady of the Prime Minister's residence."
At this moment, inside the carriage, Yan Jingzhi's fingers were tightly clenched together, and the handkerchief between them was already crumpled and tattered.
Few people know that Wen Zizhuo is plotting to become the crown prince. Now that I have come here unexpectedly and mentioned this matter to him, will it arouse his suspicion?
She remembered that in novels, such characters were usually extremely cunning.
On the surface, he is a playboy, but who knows, he might actually be extremely skilled at murder and silencing witnesses.
While Yan Jingzhi was filled with anxiety, Wen Zizhuo rubbed his temples outside the carriage. After standing there for a moment, he finally got into the carriage.
You have to pay for the sins you've committed.
"Go to the Prime Minister's residence."
Yan Jingzhi's heart trembled slightly, but she did not speak. She simply looked at Wen Zizhuo, the man she was betrothed to, by the dim candlelight inside the carriage.
As a member of the royal family and Wen Chuping's biological son, Wen Zizhuo was naturally very handsome.
However, his appearance wasn't particularly aggressive; on the contrary, he seemed like a very kind person.
No wonder he was the final winner.
Yan Jingzhi thought to herself.
After taking a sip of the cold tea in the carriage, Wen Zizhuo cleared his mind and looked at Yan Jingzhi by the candlelight in the carriage:
What brings you here again?
"Your Highness, I have a way to help you obtain the position of Crown Prince."
Yan Jingzhi was too nervous and didn't notice the word "again" in Wen Zizhuo's words.
"You've already said that." Hearing this, Wen Zizhuo leaned against the carriage, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness as he looked at the person before him.
"Unfortunately, your method didn't work."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jingzhi froze.
She said that?
How could that be? Isn't this their first meeting?
"Miss Yan, you really do have a short memory." Wen Zizhuo had indeed forgotten about Miss Yan a few days ago.
To be honest, his ambitions were thwarted, and his desire for the position of crown prince owed much to this man's efforts.
Whenever they met, she would whisper in his ear: "Your Highness, I believe that the position of Crown Prince will definitely be yours."
He also used his connections to collaborate with his fourth and fifth brothers.
Don't think he doesn't know.
She kept it from him because she didn't want to share his money.
Oh.
If it weren't for his secret help and his repeated attempts to mislead people, her identity would have been discovered long ago.
"Years ago you said you would help me and even asked for my position as a concubine. Now, I don't know what you have actually helped me with."
As Wen Zizhuo said this, there was a hint of melancholy in his voice, "And I don't even want to talk about those terrible ideas you came up with."
"To my third brother, it was simply like showing off one's limited skills before an expert."
They kidnapped Shen Qingzhi's elderly mother and coerced him.
Indeed, Shen Qingzhi obeyed, but he also spent a lot of money on Shen Qingzhi's mother.
If he weren't afraid that if she died, he would have no leverage, and he wouldn't have needed to treat her to such good food and drink, and now he's gotten himself into this mess.
Only his brain could think those tactics were brilliant.
Wen Zizhuo suspected that this Miss Yan had never intended to help him from the beginning; she was just looking for an excuse to come to his mansion and get a share of his thousand taels of gold.
"But, besides, I heard that a few days ago, you seemed to want to get into my third brother's bed,"
Before long, Wen Zizhuo dismissed the idea, paused for a moment, and then continued:
"You're not going to say that you slept with him to help me get things done, are you?"
Inside the carriage, Yan Jingzhi's back was covered in cold sweat.
She strongly suspected that there was a problem with the memories she received from the original owner, or that the person in front of her had a problem with their brain.
Otherwise, how could she have no recollection of anything Wen Zizhuo said?
"Your Highness, I only have your thoughts on me; it's all a misunderstanding."
Now that things had come to this, Yan Jingzhi had no choice but to agree. She hadn't forgotten that she had been completely ignored by everyone in the manor today; no one even noticed her leaving the manor.
Even at this hour, no one from the Prime Minister's residence was looking for her.
It seems that Wen Zizhuo is the only one who can keep me in Chong'an City.
As for the rest, she can figure them out one by one later.
"Misunderstanding?" Wen Zizhuo chuckled lightly, looking at Yan Jingzhi in front of him without bothering to argue. "If you say it's a misunderstanding, then it's a misunderstanding."
"There is one thing I must remind you: our cooperation ends here, and I no longer wish to contend for the position of Crown Prince."
"If you still want to be a concubine, then find a way to get your father to cancel this marriage."
It's impossible for him to dissolve this engagement.
At least he suggested it, saying it was absolutely impossible and he wouldn't do it.
Yan Bai was able to bring her back entirely because of his father's instructions.
Ha, his father still doubts his brain, and even his lower body is acting up, otherwise he wouldn't have done such an absurd thing.
So I thought I should find him a wife as soon as possible, and see if I could correct his blindness, so that he wouldn't go blind at such a young age.
Unfortunately, his reputation is really bad.
When those officials heard that it was to find him a wife, they not only pretended to be sick, but some even wanted to retire and return to their hometowns.
