"This young master never tells lies." Lin Jinghan picked up a cup of tea, took a sip slowly, and sighed.
"Now that Prince Jingnan has left the capital, does Marquis Pingnan still dare to cooperate with us?"
"Mr. Lin's business acumen is evident to all. My Pingnan Marquisate is delighted to cooperate with you. However, the properties of this colored glass are different from those of the lotus perfume, and I'm afraid the imperial court will intervene. Is Mr. Lin fully prepared?"
Lin Jinghan smiled lightly at Pingnan Hou's probing.
"I know that the matter of Liuli is of great importance, so naturally I need to find more partners. If Pingnan Hou is willing to cooperate with me, please come to the Yuelai Inn to find us brothers at 9:00 PM tomorrow."
The three of them left the Pingnan Marquis Mansion in a carriage.
Lin Lixuan asked curiously, "Sister, are we going to Prince Mu's Mansion to find Prince Mu now?"
"No, let him come to me. Zhengchu, remember, I am your brother now, Lin Zhenghe."
After returning to Yuelai Inn, Lin Jinghan sent Li Cheng to deliver a letter to Mu Wenyao, inviting him to have dinner at Yuelai Inn at 5 p.m. tonight in the name of Lin Jinghan.
When he received the letter, Mu Wenyao was stunned.
Sikong Zhan kept the news of his and Lin Jinghan's divorce secret. Others didn't know about it, but he knew about it.
Looking at the letter, he suddenly remembered the day when he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pick up the bride on behalf of Sikong Zhan. Lin Jinghan was wearing a wedding dress, and she was stunning when the mask fell off.
Now that she was no longer Princess Jingnan, why was she looking for him? He actually had some expectations.
He arrived on time and saw Lin Jinghan, who was dressed as a man, in the box. He looked like such a handsome and elegant man that he was stunned.
"Prince, what's wrong? Don't you recognize me?" Lin Jinghan touched her face: She was clearly not wearing a mask just now, and she had taken off her disguise, so Mu Wenyao shouldn't have failed to recognize her.
Mu Wenyao coughed to hide his embarrassment and tried to say hello, "Wang... Lin..."
Call her Princess, but she's not that anymore; call her Miss Lin, but she's a woman dressed as a man. Neither seems appropriate.
Finally, he simply called out tentatively, "Mr. Lin?"
"Pfft." Lin Jinghan was amused by Mu Wenyao's reaction.
"When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes. The prince has been training in the Never Return Mountain for a month, and he has really changed a lot! We are all so familiar with each other now. When there are no outsiders around, you can just call me Jinghan."
"Jing-Han--" Mu Wenyao tried to get familiar with this name.
"Why did you come to the capital to see me in disguise?"
Lin Jinghan blinked, "I want to make a fortune with you, Prince. Are you interested?"
"I'd like to hear more about it." Mu Wenyao had known Lin Jinghan for so long, but this was the first time he'd seen her so playful. He couldn't help but touch his nose. God knows, this was the first time he'd felt so awkward in front of a girl.
Lin Jinghan got straight to the point:
"I have a recipe for making colored glaze. The colored glaze I make is definitely better quality than Nanzhao's. You should know that the prince and I are divorced, so I need to make money to support my family. I'm thinking of getting a few reliable people to sell colored glaze together. Is the prince willing to partner with me?"
Speaking of business, Mu Wenyao's expression became more natural. "How many? I wonder who else Jinghan has found?"
"Pingnan Marquis Mansion, I know that your two families have always had a good relationship. Since we are going to cooperate together, I naturally cannot find someone who has a bad relationship with you."
In fact, Lin Jinghan only looks for people who have a good relationship with Prince Jingnan. Those who have a bad relationship with Prince Jingnan will not cooperate with her, the former Princess of Jingnan.
Mu Wenyao was very happy.
"Of course I'm very willing to cooperate with you, but this matter is of great importance. I have to go back and discuss it with my father. But don't worry, my father should agree. Even if he doesn't agree, I will still cooperate with you alone."
"Okay, I have an appointment with Marquis Pingnan to discuss cooperation matters here tomorrow, so you can come with me. However, don't let it slip at that time. My current identity is Lin Zhenghe, and Xuan'er is Lin Zhengchu. When you discuss with Prince Mu, don't mention my identity as the former Princess of Jingnan." Lin Jinghan instructed.
"I understand. I said you are my good friends, friends who are willing to die for me." Mu Wenyao nodded.
Lin Jinghan clapped her hands, and the waiter quickly brought the dishes up. The host and guest got along well, eating and chatting happily.
On the other side, Prince Jingnan and his entourage camped outside Linghe City for the night.
Zhou Xiao received a message and hurried over to report.
"Your Majesty, someone used your token today and wanted to buy a large piece of wasteland not far from here. Our people investigated and found that it was actually Wu Da."
"Got it. Don't worry about it. If the authorities ask about it, just say it was my order. Have you found out where Wu Da is staying?"
Sikong Zhan smiled, gave some instructions to Zhou Xiao, left the tent alone, and went to "Wu Da's" stay.
It was late at night and everyone in the yard was asleep, only Wu Er was on guard.
Sikong Zhan appeared in front of him silently, "Wu Er, which room does the princess live in?"
Wu Er was startled. Seeing that it was his own prince, he felt relieved, but after a moment of inner struggle, he knelt down with a fearless attitude.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but I can't betray my master."
Sikong Zhan had long seen the Wu brothers' straightforwardness, so he was not annoyed and even nodded at him.
"Very good, well done."
He was very pleased that they were so dedicated to protecting his Jinghan.
Then he scanned the entire yard, finally chose a room, and flew in directly through the window.
Wu Er: ...
Your Majesty, you are so awesome. The princess does live in that room, but she is not here today!
Sikong Zhan saw Lin Jinghan's belongings inside and smelled her lingering fragrance on the bed. He was sure this was her room, but where was she? Where had she gone in the middle of the night?
If he couldn't find anyone, he would naturally ask Wu Er, "Where is the princess?"
Wu Er knelt down as usual, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I can't betray my master's whereabouts."
Sikong Zhan was inexplicably irritated. He suddenly remembered the coachman he had seen today and asked, "The princess returned to the capital today, right?"
Wu Er was shocked, then shook his head, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't answer you."
Sikong Zhan had already seen the answer from his expression and was secretly annoyed. Why didn't he get out of the car to check it out? He actually passed Jinghan by like this.
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him, and his mood brightened instantly: Could it be that Jinghan had returned to look for him? Had she changed her mind and wanted to reconcile with him? If so, would she be disappointed and sad if she couldn't find him in Beijing?
Sikong Zhan disappeared from the spot in an instant, and appeared in their camp the next moment, and found Zhou Xiao.
"Tomorrow you will lead the army to continue the march. I have something to do and will be away for a while. Have He Chao pretend to be me and get in the carriage. Don't spread the news. I will be back as soon as possible."
