In an instant.
A series of words that terrified Cheng's father turned pale suddenly appeared in his pupils.
The Crown Prince said, "Today I heard that my junior sister and General Zhou's son had arranged to meet at the Spring Pavilion. The two were behaving intimately, as if they intended to renew their engagement."
"Because of the kindness you have shown me, and because my junior sister and I have studied together since childhood and have a deep bond, I am writing this secret letter to ask you to reconsider the engagement with the General's Mansion."
"There are tigers in the east and wolves in the west. When the tigers sleep and the wolves retreat, isn't that the day to kill the donkey?"
"Does the teacher understand my deeper meaning?"
There are tigers in the east and wolves in the west.
Now, the Xiongnu in the east are huddled outside the border, fearing the unparalleled bravery of the Yan army, and only dare to probe shallowly, not daring to invade deeply.
The Xiongnu in the west had been defeated by General Zhou a few years ago, suffering heavy casualties and unable to recover in a short period of time.
At this time........
What use is General Zhou now?!
Cheng's father clenched his fists tightly, his body went limp, and he slumped back into his chair. He stared at the words of the secret letter, suddenly remembering that General Zhou had said he would be heading to the border tomorrow to repel the enemy. It must be...
boom--!
"It's over!"
Mr. Cheng's lips trembled slightly, and his knuckles turned white from clenching them.
Recalling Emperor Yan's recent irrational behavior, coupled with this secret letter, Cheng's father understood everything: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty intends to keep General Zhou on the border forever! No, not just him."
"His Majesty has always been ruthless and vicious, eliminating all potential threats. If it weren't for his ruthlessness back then, the throne wouldn't have been for an unfavored prince like him."
"The Zhou family is probably in for a major disaster!"
"Could this be the reason why Zhou Cheng suddenly abandoned Lin Jiaoyun and turned to find my daughter? He wants to use the Cheng family's power in the court to protect the Zhou family..."
Mr. Cheng became restless, his mind racing with a jumble of thoughts.
Just then, a servant reported that Cheng Xianyi had returned to the mansion.
He quickly instructed the steward to summon Cheng Xianyi to the study, then handed her the secret letter from the Crown Prince's residence, and finally analyzed the situation of the court and how dangerous the Zhou family's current situation was for her.
At this critical juncture.
Anyone in that situation would protect themselves and stay far away from the Zhou family, for fear of getting involved in something.
However, Cheng Xianyi merely glanced at the secret letter, burned it, and then sat down opposite her father as if nothing had happened.
"daughter."
Cheng's father sighed repeatedly with a worried expression, and earnestly advised, "The Crown Prince regards me as his mentor, so this letter must be true. I'm afraid General Zhou will not be able to return from the border, and the Zhou family will probably not survive for more than a few days."
“Before, you were stubborn and determined to be with Zhou Cheng, so I didn’t stop you.”
“But now that such a big thing has happened, one wrong move and your whole family will be executed! Listen to your father and cut off contact with Zhou Cheng.”
"I really suspect that the Zhou family knew the inside story and knew that His Majesty was going to take action against them, which is why they suddenly realized what was going on and came to you to beg for reconciliation. You can't blame me for thinking this way; you know how much he used to like Lin Jiaoyun..."
Cheng Xianyi sat there with an elegant and dignified posture.
Her slender fingers supported her chin, a faint, charming smile playing on her lips: "Yes, I know."
"It's good that you know, so I'll write you a letter now and you can go and..."
Cheng Xianyi nodded calmly: "Yes, hurry up and get engaged to Acheng."
"Okay, now... what did you say?"
