Chang Zhe went to the Prince's Mansion to explain the situation clearly and also started to have people investigate the matter.
He is a newly promoted dignitary in the capital. There are only a handful of third-grade generals in the capital. He was brought back from Fengshou Town by the prince himself. The two of them also solved a major case of betrayal and glory in Fengshou Town.
Now that I have just returned to the capital, I frequently cause trouble in the city because of women's affairs.
For his own future, he must give Xiao Tong an explanation.
These people were clearly acquaintances, but in the end they ended up like this. The first thing Chang Zhe thought of was the boss of Zuixian Tower.
But at this moment, Yu Shu jumped out. With just a little reminder from her, Chang Zhe could think of finding where the medicine came from.
This kind of medicine is difficult to use. It doesn't work immediately, but it takes a while.
It's only a matter of time before the person behind it is found.
Chu Yan didn't expect that he would encounter an uninvited guest on the second day after he settled in the house.
When Xi Yunnuo appeared at the entrance of the courtyard dressed in white, Chu Yan's eyes narrowed.
"I'm here to apologize."
He smiled slightly, raised the gift in his hand, and said, "Now General Chang is looking for the whereabouts of the girl."
Very good, he threatened again.
Chu Yan nodded and let him in, and he was already heading towards the main hall.
Xi Yunnuo looked around for a while and came to the conclusion, "This place is really hard to find. It seems that the girl is determined to leave General Chang."
Chu Yan kept walking and didn't answer.
When the two of them arrived at the main hall, the maids served tea, and Xi Yunnuo sat down naturally.
"How will the girl survive in the capital after leaving General Chang? It turns out that she had already thought of her own escape route when she asked the prince for money last time. The girl is very calculating."
Xi Yunnuo said this with a smile.
Chu Yan was not surprised.
Her calculations are not clever, or in other words, she always relies on others' strength.
If Xiyunnuo really paid attention to his every move, it would be normal to think so.
"My heart has been received. Young Master can leave now."
Chu Yan said lightly.
"I just came here, how can a girl have any reason to chase away guests?"
"Although this place is good, it's a pity that it's only a matter of time before General Chang comes to find us. The girl missed something, and General Chang won't let go so easily."
Chu Yan's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm.
"Then what? What does it have to do with you?"
"It seems that I really scared the girl last time. You are always kind to everyone, but you are so harsh towards me."
"Whenever you take off the thousand layers of skin on your face, I won't be so protective of you. Second Prince Xianguo, what do you think?"
Chu Yan’s words don’t sound good.
Xi Yunnuo's expression only changed for a moment, and soon he looked so innocent again.
He sighed slightly, glanced at the gifts on the table, then stood up and cupped his hands towards Chu Yan, "I'm so offended. I just thought that the girl looked very similar to the same person, and she looked very familiar, so I approached her specially.
, I hope the girl will forgive me."
"I forgive you, but you just don't come here again. I'm from Qingguo. Although I grew up on the border, I think it's impossible for Prince Xian to know me. I'm a pariah and not worthy of the prince's efforts on me."
Chu Yan also spoke very straightforwardly.
Hurt emotions flashed across Xiyunnuo's face, he looked at her blankly for a while, and then left dejectedly.
Chu Yan looked at his back and suppressed the annoyance in his heart.
If Princess Jin is not found again, I am afraid Xi Yunnuo will find out her identity.
Now think about it, how could such a smart person fall into Yu Lian's plan so easily? Could it be that he had already planned it and was waiting there?
Xi Yunnuo's life in the capital these years has not been in vain. Prince Jin's palace is extremely wealthy, so it is normal for him to know this.
"Girl, what should I do with this gift?"
The maid saw that Chu Yan didn't seem to like Xi Yunnuo, so she asked.
"Throw it away."
"yes."
The unopened gift was thrown out, but Chu Yan didn't expect that such a small gift would lead Chang Zhe here.
At night, when she was about to go to sleep, someone suddenly appeared in the room, which startled her.
Chang Zhe's eyes were red and he stared at her intently.
Chu Yan pursed her lips and quickly regained her composure.
"What are you doing here?"
She asked coldly.
Chang Zhe took a few steps forward mechanically, stretched out his hand tremblingly, but did not dare to touch Chu Yan after noticing her resistance.
"I... Yanyan, I'm sorry, this is not what you thought."
He said in a deep voice and then added, "I fell into the trap at that time. I thought that person was you."
Chu Yan snorted coldly, "Would you be able to do such a thing if it were me?"
"No... listen to me, I want to marry you. Sooner or later we will have to do this, so I..."
"Can you go back with me?"
Chang Zhe's voice softened.
It had only been a day since I'd seen him, and now he had a slovenly beard, looked extremely haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He looked begging for her, with a cautious look on his face.
Chu Yan felt it was extremely ridiculous, but her eyes were burning. She thought of her humble self in her previous life.
"If I go back, what will happen to Yu Shu? She is a young lady, and now she has nothing to do with you, and she is even looked at. What will General Chang do to her?"
"I'll make it up to her!"
"Compensate? How to compensate? Chang Zhe, she likes you, I don't believe you can't tell."
They have known each other for many years. Does he really not know about Yu Shu's feelings for Chang Zhe?
Chang Zhe was stunned, his face looked particularly gloomy in the dark shadow.
"What about you? Do you like me? Yan Yan! Why did you lie to me? This is the study's house, how come you live in his house? Tell me!"
He suddenly took a long stride and forced Chu Yan into a corner.
He held a piece of rice paper in his raised hand, and veins popped out, "Who wrote this to you again? Chu Yan, what kind of person are you? What are you doing in the capital? Who do you want to see, and what do you want to do?
!”
Chang Zhe almost shouted the last sentence, and the maid outside the door subconsciously opened the door and came in.
Chu Yan's eyes signaled them to go out.
Rubbing his temples, Chu Yan sneered, "This is Xiyunnuo's gift to me today. I threw it out together with the packaging. Otherwise, how could this letter fall into your hands?"
"That day at the Prince's Mansion, you stayed to deal with things. Xi Yunnuo blocked my way. In the end, the Imperial Master helped to relieve the siege. If you don't believe it, you can ask the guards at the Prince's Mansion."
"Chang Zhe, at most I conceal it, but I have never lied to you."
"Then...then do you like me?"
Chang Zhe suddenly softened and stared at her, as if he could really see deep affection in his eyes.
But...if deep love requires calculation and snatching from other women, then what's the point?
"Yan Yan, as long as you like me, I won't care about this. I'll let the study go, I..."
Chang Zhe murmured to himself, fearing that Chu Yan would say something he didn't want to hear.
