Jiang Nan spoke softly, her pupils were empty, and she stepped on the bluestone with her soft embroidered shoes. She suddenly felt a chill coming from the soles of her feet and rushing up.

Extremely cold.

She shrank her head into the plush cloak and hugged herself with her arms. Was it because she had been in Nanling for a long time and she was no longer used to the cold winter in the Imperial Capital?

"A person's life is full of choices, it all depends on how you choose!" Chen Yanli stared at Jiang Nan and couldn't move his eyes away for a long time. The color in his eyes was like black ink entering the water, and it kept blurring, making it complicated and difficult to understand.

He moved his eyes away, frowned slightly, and whispered: "Since I don't want to go back to the East Palace, why don't I accompany you to meet Mrs. Zheng Guo, just to relax?"

"good."

I have to admit that Chen Yanli guessed right, she really didn't want to go back to the East Palace.

At least I don't want to go back now.

She was very confused and had not thought about how to face Xie Yun.

They were obviously so far away, and the figures she saw were a little blurry, but for some reason, she consciously added Xie Yun's passionate eyes and flushed face afterwards in her mind.

This man not only belongs to her, nor is he only passionate about her?

After closing the door and there were only two people left in the hall, Mrs. Zheng Guo smiled, took out the scroll in her hand and handed it to Jiang Nan.

But when she thought that Mrs. Zheng Guo dared to speak such wild words, it must be to tell her the key evidence that King Beichen and Concubine Duan framed the Gu family, and she was a little excited.

"Master Chen, please move." Jiang Nan was more sure of what she was thinking, so she gave Chen Yanli a look. Chen Yanli hesitated before exiting and stopped at the door.

"You think very highly of me." Chen Yanli sarcastically said displeasedly.

Jiang Nan just glanced at him, but before replying, Mrs. Zheng Guo took the lead and snorted coldly: "You can't be careless about marriage! Mr. Chen has no intention, so I won't force it. I lost two wives in a row. I still think it's unlucky. Imperial Capital There are so many things that are better than him!"

She had spoken lightly to Chen Yanli just now, but she knew very well that she could not see Xie Yun for the time being, otherwise she would not be sure that she would not act impulsively and chop him with a knife.

Seeing Jiang Nan and Chen Yanli coming together, Mrs. Zheng Guo was quite surprised. After a moment, her eyes showed contempt and envy, and she looked Jiang Nan up and down again.

The temple was dark, with a weak candle burning under the Buddha statue. Looking through the ajar wooden door, one could vaguely see someone holding a lantern in the temple, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

"Young Master Ling's matter is not difficult, but Ling Qianjin... When you put it like that, the scope is very small. I am afraid that Mr. Chen is the only one in Mandi Capital who is worthy of Ling Qianjin!" Jiang Nan had a dark face. I didn't come here to relax, it was clearly to cause trouble.

Mrs. Zheng Guo said to Jiang Nan: "Princess, I think you don't want anyone to know about what I'm going to do next."

Mrs. Zheng Guo smiled instead of being angry: "As we all know, the four great generals Gu, Yang, Chen and Zheng who followed Emperor Gaozu to invade the imperial capital, now only the Zheng and Chen families are still alive. They are all powerful from outside..."

Yesterday Mrs. Zheng Guo looked at Chen Yanli like a dog seeing meat, and she thought she was a son-in-law riding a dragon. Today she is annoyed to see a dog again.

Mrs. Zheng Guo raised the lantern, moved two steps to the side, and took a closer look at Jiang Nan's delicate facial features from this angle.

The world is really declining. How come all the young talents, instead of looking at unmarried girls, like married women?

Mrs. Zheng Guo was unhappy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She looked like she had a winning chance and said with a smile: "I don't ask for much. Help me stay in the capital, let my son become a disciple of Taiwei Jiang, and then marry my daughter." Mom, if you are looking for a good marriage, your family status cannot be lower than that of our Duke Zheng. As for appearance, you do not need to be charming and suave, but you must at least have some talent. As for talent, you must be a pillar of the imperial court!"

Chen Yanli replied with a sincere smile: "Thank you madam for letting me go."

In the time of Xu, the City God's Temple.

Hearing this, Chen Yanli couldn't help but corrected him: "I, the Duke of Chen State, know how to assess the situation. I am by no means an external force but a middle-aged man. I can secure the country through military force and govern the country through literature. Nowadays, I have a prosperous population and am still the mainstay of the imperial court."

No one offered incense at night, but the smell of incense was very strong. The silver moon hung high in the sky, casting two shallow shadows on the ground in the courtyard.

She focused her eyes on the statues in the temple, looking at them one by one, filled with melancholy.

The woman in the painting is dressed in the imperial attire of the former dynasty. She is young and beautiful. If it weren't for the extra dash of heroic spirit between her eyebrows, she would really look exactly like Jiang Nan.

"What deal do you want to make with me?" Jiang Nan looked cold and didn't take Mrs. Zheng Guo's invitation to heart at all. She just wanted to avoid going back to the East Palace.

Chen Yanli paused and fell a few steps behind Jiang Nan. He looked at her back with a strange look on his face. After thinking about it, he waved to his entourage and whispered.

A woman's heart is as sharp as the sea, and an old woman's heart is even more like the weather that changes at the sea.

Jiang Nan's expression froze. He never expected that the evidence was actually a scroll. Could it be that it was a picture of Concubine Duan and Prince Beichen's erotic scene?

The scroll is a bit old, and when it is unfolded, it emits the musty smell unique to books, but it is not unpleasant.

"A grown man drags his feet while walking. Hurry up and close the door and walk farther!" Mrs. Zheng Guo urged Chen Yanli in a loud voice.

Mrs. Zheng Guo glanced at Chen Yanli. She didn't know whether Jiang Nan had cheated on her, but the way Chen Yanli looked at Jiang Nan was unclear.

"You have nothing to do here, can you get out of here first?!" Mrs. Zheng Guo glared at Chen Yanli with a very bad tone.

"Tell me first whether you are worth it or not? Do you have anything on hand that is worthy of me doing something for you? Hurry, take it out and let me take a look at it!" Jiang Nan lost patience and scolded with a frown.

The entourage turned and left, and Chen Yanli quickly followed Jiang Nan.

Who knew that Princess Beichen and Mrs. Zheng Guo were biological sisters? The reason why they were willing to attend the appointment was because they were lucky enough to find some clues about Mrs. Zheng Guo.

This painting was hidden by Empress Xiaoxian and kept at the bottom of a box in the warehouse of Duke Zheng. If she had not been driven out of the capital this time, Mrs. Zheng would not have thought of digging through more treasures and taking them away.

I unexpectedly found this painting among a pile of dust. I saw that it was very old. I excitedly thought I had dug up some rare ancient painting, but I didn't know it was actually a portrait of a woman who looked exactly like Jiang Nan.

Mrs. Zheng Guo was about to curse, thinking that some dude in the family had hidden Jiang Nan's paintings, when she accidentally glanced at the signature in the lower right corner and was really shocked.

"Who is this?" Jiang Nan blurted out and asked. Her eyes were fixed on the face of the woman in the painting, her heart was beating rapidly, and she had some ominous premonition, but she did not notice the small words in the lower right corner.
