Gu Shichong finally felt relieved. As expected, his charm was incomparable to that of other men.
…
Jianzhang Palace.
Xue Zhiyi didn't expect that the Queen Mother would ask her to go to Jiangzhou together, but she soon realized that the Queen Mother meant for her to go and check on Chai Yue together to avoid any further complications.
I was worried that leaving Chai Yue and the Queen Mother in the palace would be dangerous, but since Chai Yue had kept it a secret for so many years, if she wanted to harm the Queen Mother, she wouldn't have to worry about it in just a few days, not to mention that Chuizhu was guarding them.
Thinking of this, Xue Zhiyi prepared to leave the palace.
She left the palace secretly this time and did not want to make it public. She just changed into a casual dress like a common woman, tied her hair into a bun, and braided it diagonally to the side, which made her look fresh and neat.
Knowing that she was going with him, Huo Wuyou was in a good mood.
But when Jiang Xu saw her, he was stunned.
Outside the Dali Temple, the carriage to Jiangzhou was ready.
In front of the carriage, Jiang Xu took the initiative to ask her: "Miss Xue, is this trip the Queen Mother's intention?"
Jiang Xu was a handsome man, but he seemed very serious. However, he was King Sheng's man, and had been secretly dealing with Chai Yue not long ago. Because he died too early in his previous life, Xue Zhiyi was not able to get to know him well, so he was naturally on guard against him.

"That's not what I meant." Jiang Xu seemed to have something to say, but he only explained: "I just feel that Jiangzhou is flooded and the journey is difficult and dangerous. If it is not necessary, it is really..."
"Don't worry about that, Lord Jiang." Huo Wuyou suddenly lifted the car curtain and interrupted Jiang Xu.
Seeing Huo Wuyou, Jiang Xu's eyes suddenly showed a bit of annoyance.
Huo Wuyou stretched out his hand to Xue Zhiyi again and said, "Zhiyi, get in the car."
Xue Zhiyi didn't follow his wishes and hold his hand. Instead, he bowed to Jiang Xu and said, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Jiang. It's okay. I'll get in the car first."
After saying that, she lifted her skirt and got into Huo Wuyou's carriage.
Huo Wuyou could only withdraw his hanging hand awkwardly, but looking at Jiang Xu with a worried look on his face, he was still like a fighting cock that had won the fight. He snorted lightly and closed the curtain of the car.
This made Jiang Xu, who had been at odds with Huo Wuyou in the Dali Temple, even more annoyed.
