Because Chu Chenjing and his companions will set off tomorrow to send the third princess to the Southern Chu Kingdom for marriage, Chu Chenjing does not have to attend the morning court today. The two of them stayed together for a while before getting up.

After breakfast, the two went into the palace to bid farewell to the emperor and the empress. After having lunch in the palace, the empress let them leave.

After leaving the palace, Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao went to arrange their own affairs separately. It was not until the sunset that they arrived at the third floor of Zuixianlou. Today, Chu Chenjing will invite his friends to have a small gathering here.

……

Xue Xiangfu

The third princess, Chu Chenlan, was saying goodbye to Prime Minister Xue’s family in Prime Minister Xue’s residence.

The farewell banquet was held at noon. After lunch, the family gathered in the hall.

Xue Xiang's old mother sat at the top, and next to her were Xue Xiang and his wife, the second prince Chu Chenyu and his princess consort, as well as Xue Xiang's younger brother and their son and daughter.

"Great-grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, Lan'er will leave you tomorrow, you must take good care of your health."

"Good! Good! Our Lan'er has grown up and is getting married. Now she knows how to care for her great-grandmother. Lan'er! You don't know when you can see her again after you leave. Come, come, let your great-grandmother hug you." The old woman shed tears as she spoke. Chu Chenlan held back her tears and came up to hug the old woman and wiped her tears. "Great-grandmother, Lan'er will definitely come back to see you when she has the chance."

"Lan'er, have you gone to see your mother? It would be great if your mother could come back." Mrs. Xue Xiang said.

"Grandma, Lan'er went to see Mother, Mother, Mother... now, now..."

"Lan'er, what happened to your mother?" Mrs. Xue Xiang asked anxiously.

"Grandma, mother can't recognize Lan'er now. She laughs from time to time and doesn't seem to be in good health." Chu Chenlan said with tears in her eyes.

"My poor daughter! Yu'er! You must beg your father for mercy. Considering your mother's service to your father for so many years, ask him to find an imperial physician to see Hong Qin."

"Yes! Grandmother," Chu Chenyu replied, but his hands were clenched into fists and his eyes were like sharp blades, revealing a fierce murderous intent.

Xue Xiang frowned after hearing this, glanced at him, and said to Chu Chenlan, "Lan'er, when you arrive in Nanchu, you must not be willful. If you have any problems, write to grandfather or your brother, and we will support you."

"Yes, grandpa, Lan'er understands." Chu Chenlan nodded in response.

"Don't worry about your mother. Yu'er and Grandfather are here, your father won't do anything to her. Grandfather will find a way to get her out of the cold palace in the future."

After Xue Xiang finished speaking, he said, "It's getting late now, Lan'er, you should go back and get ready." He then said, "Mother, you should also go and have a rest."

Chu Chenlan was still very afraid of her grandfather. "Okay, Grandfather, then Lan'er will go back to the palace first."

"Well, Yu'er, Jianming, come to my study."

After Chu Chenlan said goodbye to her great-grandmother, grandmother, eldest uncle, second uncle and others, she left the Xue Mansion, and the people who had gathered in the hall of the mansion also dispersed.

Xue Xiang's Study

Chu Chenyu and Xue Jianming followed Xue Xiang to the study.

"Grandfather"

"Father"

"You all sit down," Xue Xiang said to the two men majestically while sitting behind the desk.

The two men sat down in front of Xue Conggui's desk.

"Yu'er, has Lan'er decided on the route she will take this time? How are things arranged?"

"Grandfather, the itinerary for Lanmei's wedding has been set. I have made all the arrangements carefully. The people who will escort Lanmei are all my secret guards and people from the training camp. They are all very skilled in martial arts. There are 200 people in total."

"Well, where are you going to attack and how do you arrange it?" Xue Xiang asked with a murderous look on his face.

"Grandfather, I have arranged three locations this time... The first one is outside the city of Zhenyangzhou."

“This place is too close to Kyoto.”

Chu Chenyu took out a map from his arms, opened it and placed it on the desk, pointing to a circle on it and saying, "Grandfather, look here. It is because it is close to Kyoto that Chu Chenjing will not be on guard. He certainly does not believe that we will ambush here. My grandson has asked the killer organization, the Demon Shadow Gang, to assassinate us. When the Demon Shadow Gang attacks, I will coordinate with them from inside and outside to kill him and his wife in one move." At this moment, Chu Chenyu's eyes were full of hatred. If Chu Chenjing were present, he would have wanted to tear Chu Chenjing apart. A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he looked like a Shura crawling out of hell.

Xue Conggui saw Chu Chenyu's eyes and smiled slightly, which disappeared in the depths of his eyes in an instant. He saw hatred in Chu Chenyu's eyes.

He had always hoped that Chu Chenyu would be ruthless. But he had always been addicted to the gentleness of women, thinking that once the prince died, he would be his, without any sense of crisis, and he didn't care about anything at all. Everything was waiting for his mother and him to arrange. So when Concubine Xue was imprisoned in the cold palace, he didn't care at all, just hoping that he would see his mother being tortured, so that he would hate his father and his brothers, and be able to be ruthless to them. Now he finally saw it.

"Okay, Grandfather believes you! But no information can be leaked."

"Don't worry, Grandfather, these people are very loyal."

"Yu'er, you have to know that if the first assassination attempt fails, he will be more prepared next time and will be more difficult to deal with."

"Grandfather, I know that I will not let them fail. This time, I will personally lead people to ambush there. When those killers take action, we will... not let them notice anything, nor will we let them escape."

"Well, once we find out that he is prepared, we must immediately change the location. We cannot afford any mistakes now."

"Yes, Grandpa."

"Have you checked to see if Chu Chenjing has someone in secret?"

"I checked and found out that he only brought a hundred Jingyong troops with him. At most, he had a few personal guards and secret guards."

"Well, if the first location is discovered, has the second location been chosen?"

Chu Chenyu pointed to an address on the map that he had circled in red and said, "Grandfather, it's chosen. Look here, outside the city of Guannan Prefecture. This location will make it easier to deal with them."

Xue Conggui looked at the area he circled on the picture and thought for a while. "Well, this is feasible."

"Grandfather, I have transferred a thousand people from there, and Chen Ru will lead them. This time, we have two plans. One is that if we fail the first time, we will still use the Demon Shadow Gang. The second is that if we fail the first time, then I will ask the people from the Silver Feather Tower for help."

"Silver Feather Tower"

"Yuer, Yinyulou is also a killer from Kyoto. Are they reliable?" Xue Jianming asked the question in his mind.

"Uncle, I have checked and inquired, there is no problem."

"Yinyu Tower?" Xue Conggui also said to himself thoughtfully.
