Chu Chuyan's expression changed slightly: "Watch your words!"
She looked around for a while, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she whispered, "The Embroidered-Robe Envoys are the Emperor's eyes and ears, and Zhu Xie Chixin is the Emperor's most trusted confidant. If this gets to the Emperor's ears, do you want to die?"
Zu An didn't care and shrugged: "Anyway, I'm already in a situation where I'm not afraid of being bitten by lice. If the Emperor finds out, he'll find out."
Chu Chuyan gently held his hand and comforted him. After a while, she said, "Actually, there are similar rumors circulating in the streets, but no one has any evidence and it's all just speculation."
Zu An chuckled, "How could anyone other than the parties involved possibly have evidence of something like this? Speaking of which, all of the emperor's other sons are incredibly intelligent, so why is it that the crown prince is the only fool?"
Chu Chuyan frowned slightly: "There are many different opinions about this matter. The demon race says that the emperor has too many blood debts on his hands, so this is retribution; the human race also has a rumor that the crown prince may have been tampered with when he was young, which is why he has these symptoms now... But you should just listen to these rumors, they may not be true."
“There’s no smoke without fire.” Zu’an fell into deep thought.
After finishing their business, the two began to chat about some private matters. Chu Chuyan said softly, "Grandpa, thank you so much for what happened to the Chu family. If it weren't for you, the Chu family would probably be doomed. I've never had the chance to formally thank you."
Zuan laughed and said, "You're my wife, who else would I help if not you?"
Chu Chuyan shook her head: "Even among husband and wife, few can do this. Aren't there countless examples of couples who, like birds in the same forest, fly away when disaster strikes? Moreover, you put yourself in danger for the sake of the Chu family. Looking across the world, I'm afraid there aren't many husbands who could do what you did."
Zuan leaned back: "Now that you mention it, I do feel a bit noble. So how are you going to thank me? It can't just be a verbal thank you, that would be too insincere."
Chu Chuyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Just as she was about to leave, her slender waist was suddenly embraced by the other person, and then a pair of dry, hot lips kissed her.
Chu Chuyan stiffened for a moment, but quickly softened and gently responded to her lover.
Her mind was a little confused, but after a while she suddenly felt a chill on her body and quickly came to her senses, hurriedly pushing him away.
I let him put his hand inside my clothes, but this guy actually started taking off his clothes!
Thinking of all the people outside the carriage, her usually fair and delicate cheeks were already flushed red.
This bastard's methods are getting more and more sophisticated; he probably learned them from Manman in the secret realm.
Thinking about this made her teeth itch, so she leaned in and bit his shoulder hard.
"Hiss!" Zu An gasped, wondering where this woman's little grudge came from.
Is it because of my behavior just now? But we've been married for so long, how could he possibly imagine that the other person is jealous of another woman?
"I'm going out first. It's not good to stay in the carriage all the time." Chu Chuyan snorted, straightened her clothes, and got out of the carriage.
Zuan looked depressed and, feeling bored, began to check his storage space. He took advantage of this free time to organize what he knew, so as not to forget the effect of the Primordial Scripture on suppressing evil spirits, just like last time in the Yin Ruins Secret Realm.
Suddenly, he stumbled upon a manual, the "Flame Blade" manual. He hadn't been able to cultivate it before because he hadn't awakened his fire elemental abilities, but now that he could use Daji's fire elemental abilities, he could finally try practicing it.
Zuan even summoned Daji, trying to get her to practice as well, since she was also a fire-type ability user. Unfortunately, she had lost her soul and was unable to cultivate at all. Zuan gave up after trying many times.
"I should have let Manman practice like this." However, Zu'an immediately thought of the combat skills Pei Mianman had used before, which formed fire dragons one moment and roses the next. He figured that this was no worse than this, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He quickly calmed down and began to cultivate. In his mind, Zuan simulated various sword techniques from "Flame Blade". His only regret was that he could not try them out in person.
Nothing else unusual happened along the way, which suggests that they knew Zhu Xie Chixin, Liang Wang and Liu Yao, as well as a large number of Embroidered Uniform Guards and Imperial Guards. Unless they openly rebelled and mobilized a large force to surround and kill them, they were not someone that a small group of assassins could handle.
As they drew closer to the capital, Chu Chuyan's worry deepened. She suddenly regretted that she had been so jealous last time.
Several more Imperial Guard officers came up to her, trying to curry favor. She found it very annoying, gave them a few perfunctory replies, and then ran into the carriage to hide.
The officers gazed at her slender figure and couldn't help but sigh, "She's truly a celestial maiden descended to earth. How could that fellow surnamed Zu be so lucky?"
"Is that a lucky life? We're almost in the capital, and I don't have many days left to live."
"Even if it's just a few more days, I'd be willing to die tomorrow, even if it meant I could only be Miss Chu's husband for one day."
"Simps are really awesome."
"Don't you want to?"
"Of course I'm not willing, it will take at least two days."
...
At this moment, Zuan, inside the carriage, chuckled: "It seems you really are quite charming."
Chu Chuyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she spat lightly, "Even you're making fun of me."
She vaguely heard the whispers behind their backs, and although she was slightly annoyed, she wouldn't actually do anything to them. Cutting out someone's tongue at the slightest disagreement was a witch's habit, not in her nature.
