Yue Lengxin was keenly aware of Lu Yanluo's dislike for Zhang Xuanlin, and intuitively felt that something must have happened in the past.

Lu Yanluo sighed. Yue Lengxin was now carefree, lively and happy. How could she bear to tell her everything?

"No, it was my husband who had a lot of contact with him. He told me that Zhang Xuanlin is a man with bad intentions. Leng Xin, you'd better not have any contact with him. Do you hear me?"

Yue Lengxin was a little dissatisfied and didn't want Lu Yanluo to say that to Zhang Xuanlin, but Lu Yanluo's expression was serious and she really didn't want to refute, so she had to agree verbally.

But after dinner, she went outside to meet Zhang Xuanlin as they had agreed.

Zhang Xuanlin noticed that she looked worried and asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood today?"

Yue Lengxin shook her head: "No, I am leaving. I am leaving the capital."

"You...are leaving?"

In fact, Zhang Xuanlin had already anticipated this result. He knew that Lu Yanluo was waiting for the limelight to pass, and now the time was finally ripe.

Yue Lengxin looked at Zhang Xuanlin with a look of reluctance on her face. She said, "I'm leaving, going back to Northern Frontier. Zhang Xuanlin, will you come with me?"

That’s right, this is what she had been thinking about all afternoon. She couldn’t bear to leave Zhang Xuanlin and wanted to take him back to Northern Xinjiang.

The surroundings suddenly fell silent. After a long while, Zhang Xuanlin shook his head and refused.

"I'm sorry, I can't go with you."

There was a moment when Yue Lengzou looked at him expectantly, he really wanted to agree.

However, he still had things he had to do, and he couldn't just leave.

Yue Lengxin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, it's hard to leave your hometown, so you should stay well in Beijing. When I return to Northern Frontier, I will write to you often."

"Okay, the journey back to Northern Xinjiang is long and arduous, so be careful. I'll be waiting for your letter in Beijing."

Yue Lengxin stood up and looked down at Zhang Xuanlin who was sitting there, with a look of disappointment in her eyes: "I have to go back and pack my bags, Zhang Xuanlin, take care."

He didn't look up, but just hummed softly, and then the sound of Yue Lengxin's departing footsteps rang in his ears.

Zhang Xuanlin slowly raised his hand and covered the left side of his heart which was aching dully. There was a kind and beautiful girl who was walking out of his life step by step.

In the middle of the night, a low-key carriage arrived outside the courtyard, and Yue Lengxin got on the carriage with a small bag. This was the only thing she had after living in Beijing for so long.

The carriage drove straight to the city gate. After being out of the city for more than a hundred miles, it slowly stopped. Lu Yanluo was waiting there.

Yue Lengxin looked at Lu Yanluo with surprise. She thought they would never see each other again, but she didn't expect her to come and see her off.

"You're here!" Yue Lengxin got out of the car quickly.

Lu Yanluo walked closer and handed the package in her hand to her: "I will send my trusted secret guards to escort you to the Northern Frontier. Here is five hundred silver coins. Take it for emergency use."

"Leng Xin, the road to the northern border is long, you must not act recklessly. I will wait for the good news of your return home in the capital."

"Yeah!" A line of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and Yue Lengxin burst into tears: "Will we...will we see each other again in the future?"

"Yes, you promised me that if I ask for anything in the future, you will do your best to help me, Princess. I am waiting for you."

Yue Lengxin nodded vigorously and turned to walk towards the carriage. Yes, they will definitely meet again in the future, but...

She looked back at the way she had come, but she and Zhang Xuanlin might never see each other again in their lifetime.

"Leng Xin!" A voice suddenly sounded and called Yue Leng Xin. It was Zhang Xuanlin!

Yue Lengxin turned around in surprise and looked at Zhang Xuanlin. Has he decided to go with me?

Zhang Xuanlin rode over and stopped in front of Yue Lengxin. He took out a bundle and said, "Here are the five hundred silver coins I prepared for you. Take it. Take care of yourself on the way and don't let me worry about you."

Yue Lengxin was lost in thought for a moment, then smiled and accepted the silver: "Zhang Xuanlin, thank you for coming to see me off."

She found that the two people who used to talk about everything now had nothing to say when facing separation.

Yue Lengxin walked towards the carriage step by step. From then on, the capital city and the northern border were thousands of miles apart, and the two of them might never see each other again.

The carriage slowly drove away. Zhang Xuanlin felt lost and stared at the shadow that was getting smaller and smaller.

"Who are you pretending to be so reluctant to see? Yue Lengxin is already gone." Lu Yanluo said sarcastically.

Zhang Xuanlin said angrily, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. I don't want to argue with you. I hope that Princess can stop while she is ahead and not get on the defensive every time."

Lu Yanluo was disdainful. She really didn't take him seriously.

"I just can't stand you. As a man, it's not gentlemanly for a woman to be a raft. Zhang Xuanlin, your level of despicableness is beyond my imagination. How did you manage to appear in front of Yue Lengxin as if nothing had happened?"

"Shut up!" Zhang Xuanlin was furious and stretched out his hand to hit Lu Yanluo.

Seeing this, Lu Yanluo dodged sideways and slapped Zhang Xuanlin with her backhand. Then she said, "I slapped him on behalf of Yue Lengxin. Do you have anything to say?"

"You're going too far!" Zhang Xuanlin was so angry that he didn't care about anything else and rushed straight towards Lu Yanluo.

Chu Xuan flew in mid-air, kicked Zhang Xuanlin away, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhang, do you have the guts? How dare you touch my wife!"

[Good job! Beat him to death, you bastard!]

Zhang Xuanlin was unmoved. He struggled to get up, sneered, turned around and walked away without looking back.

"What's wrong with him?" Chu Xuanyi was puzzled. Zhang Xuanlin knew that Yue Lengxin was returning to Northern Frontier, but instead of stopping her, he came to see her off in person. Did he feel guilty?

"Humph, nothing you do can change the fact that he is a scumbag. Today he should be sensible, otherwise I will cut off his hands and feet!"

Although she said so, Lu Yanluo had a feeling that there was something strange about Zhang Xuanlin. After returning home and thinking about it, she decided to send someone to secretly keep an eye on Zhang Xuanlin. She had a feeling that something was going to happen.

The people who were monitoring Zhang Xuanlin soon came back to report that Zhang Xuanlin was said to be planning something recently and had been frequently interacting with some ministers in the court, a break from his usual low-key style, which was truly puzzling.

Lu Yanluo told Chu Xuan what she had found out. After some thought, Chu Xuan sent Shen He to investigate the matter personally.

At the same time, the court has been in turmoil recently. Zhang Xuanlin returned to the court again and began to show his edge, impeaching officials of the Qingliu faction.

Most of them were upright ministers with pure hearts, but after being impeached by Zhang Xuanlin, they all behaved in a low profile.

When the emperor heard about it, he sent people to investigate, but without exception, they found evidence of rebellion in their homes. What a terrible situation!

The emperor was immediately furious and ordered all the officials involved to be thrown into jail.
