After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Zhou Yichen knew that Zhou Jialiang's temperament was indeed unpredictable, but he did not expect Qi Bai's evaluation of him to be like this.

"Revenge, shouldn't that be necessary?"

Chu Xi knew that he was no longer a good person. Since he was destined to go to war, he had to make plans early.

"If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can send someone to keep an eye on him. You don't have to keep an eye on him too closely. Zhou Jialiang is very cautious, and once he's discovered, we won't be able to find out anything."

Zhou Yichen believed in Qi Bai. No one beside him could make him feel more at ease than Qi Bai. "Okay, I'll send someone to keep an eye on him."

The fourth prince and the sixth princess of Western Chu also came out at this time, and the two siblings walked over.

For the time being, it seems that Qi Yuan's marriage to Zhou Yichen is a foregone conclusion. The Fourth Prince knows that his life will be in danger after the birthday banquet, so it is urgent to find someone to join forces with him.

Qi Yuan is somewhat interested in Zhou Yichen. Zhou Yichen is good-looking and capable. The only pity is that he is not valued by Emperor Tianwu, so it is not easy for him to ascend to the throne.

Unfortunately, Zhou Yichen didn't even glance at her charming eyes. He just passed her and stared at the Fourth Prince calmly.

"Your Highness Prince of Yan, I will hold a banquet at Wangyue Tower tomorrow. Would Your Highness be willing to come over and have a chat?" the Fourth Prince asked with a smile.

"Sure." Zhou Yichen could see that the Fourth Prince of Western Chu wanted to show goodwill. No matter what he wanted to do, Zhou Yichen felt that he could give it a try.

The Fourth Prince would never take action. The last person who did that was so scared that he ate his meal tonight. If the Fourth Prince was any smarter, he would not choose to take action.

"Then I will await the arrival of Your Highness and the Crown Prince at the Moon Watching Tower tomorrow evening." The Fourth Prince nodded.

Chu Xi was called, but he didn't show any abnormality and didn't say anything.

Zhou Yichen hummed.

Several people separated at the palace gate. Chu Xi had already told his father that he would be back later, so he asked them to go back first.

The carriage of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had already left, so Chu Xi naturally got on the carriage of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

*

On the carriage.

Chu Xi opened the curtain, stared at Xi Chu's carriage silently for a while, and then let it go.

Zhou Yichen had already poured a cup of tea for Chu Xi and handed it to her. Chu Xi took it and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhou Yichen chuckled, "What do you think of the Fourth Prince of Xichu?"

Chu Xi shook his head. "It's hard to tell how deep he is at the moment, but he came knowing that coming to the Great Zhou was a trap, and he still came. This is enough to show that he is a man of deep thoughts, better than the Fifth Prince of Western Chu yesterday."

It is not a good thing to have a life that is too smooth. The Fifth Prince of Western Chu is favored by the Emperor of Western Chu because of his mother's status.

It is inevitable that there are people around you who flatter you, and you have probably never encountered any real setbacks. Such a life is not necessarily a good thing, as it can ruin a person.

"He is indeed a man of deep thoughts. He took the initiative to come to us to show his goodwill because he wanted to join forces with me after seeing that my father had arranged for the marriage of the Princess of Western Chu to me." Zhou Yichen analyzed in a calm tone.

Whatever he wants to do, we'll know tomorrow.

Zhou Yichen frowned, "Let's not talk about him for now. At the banquet today, I thought Lao Ba was going to attack you, but I didn't expect him to not make a move. Could it be that the information passed on by your grandfather's spies was wrong?"

"Perhaps this banquet is not the best opportunity for the Yao family and the Eighth Prince."

Chu Xi thought about what Zhou Qingmin said to her before Zhou Yichen came out, and how the maid beside the Queen took the Ninth Princess away.

"Besides, the Ninth Princess now has the protection of the Queen."

Confinement in the palace was just an excuse, the reality was to protect the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess was not as thoughtful as her brother the Eighth Prince, so she was probably being plotted against and she wouldn't know that she was being sacrificed as a pawn.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We will just use the strategy of stillness to control movement. Now, no matter what we do, people will be watching us." Chu Xi knew that there were too many eyes in the capital, and some of them were not even theirs.

Once these eyes discover a flaw, they will pounce on them like wolves smelling a scent, tearing them apart and eating them.

"You're right." Zhou Yichen had never taken Qi Yuan seriously. Not to mention that they hadn't really matched their horoscopes and issued an edict yet, even if they did, he wouldn't touch her once she entered his house.

Qi Yuan's heart obviously leans towards Xi Chu, towards her brother. He has no interest in having such a spy by his side, who is a spy from an enemy country.

Chu Xi briefly summarized what happened when Zhou Qingmin talked to him before Zhou Yichen came out and Jiang Zhenyao stepped forward to stop them.

Zhou Yichen seemed to be smiling, his elegant temperament becoming somewhat deep and unfathomable at this moment, "Jiang Zhenyao helped you again today, Qibai, tell me honestly, do you...really want to marry her?"

"Unless I have no other choice, I will never choose this path. I don't want to delay anyone." Chu Xi didn't understand why Zhou Yichen kept worrying about this issue.

Zhou Yichen knew Qi Bai's determination, but his father forced a Princess of Western Chu on him today, which made him feel a little bad.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Marquis' Mansion." Zheng Hao outside reported in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xi quickly got off the carriage and said goodbye to Zhou Yichen.

Zhou Yichen's voice came from the carriage, "Remember to change the medicine when you go back. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Chu Xi was not surprised by Zhou Yichen's careful instructions, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will remember it."

Zhou Yichen shook his head helplessly through the curtain, hoping that this would be true.

Qi Bai is good in everything except that he doesn't take care of himself.

The next day.

During the day Chu Xi was recuperating in the house. Fortunately the weather was not very hot, otherwise it would have been troublesome to recuperate.

In the evening, Zhou Yichen's carriage appeared at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion on time.

Yun didn't want her daughter to get involved in such dangerous things anymore, so she specifically talked to her and told her that she hoped she could withdraw from King Yan's camp, so that at least she wouldn't have to suffer any more scars.

Chu Xi chuckled, "Mom, now it's not a question of whether I retreat or not. Soon, the entire Great Zhou will not be able to retreat."

We can only fight. If we don't fight, we will become someone else's colony.

Yun didn't understand why Qi Bai said that, but she could feel that her daughter would not back down. She couldn't convince anyone and she was helpless. She could only let Chu Er follow Chu Xi at all times to protect her safety.

Therefore, when going to the banquet today, Chu Xi was followed by Chu Er, and Zhou Yichen's follower was always Zheng Hao, and the two of them rode horses and followed the carriage.

Chu Xi was wearing a crimson robe today, a color that made her look even more beautiful.

Zhou Yichen took a closer look and couldn't help but be curious, "You seem to like red clothes now?"

"It's okay. This color is resistant to stains, so even if you're really injured it won't be too obvious." Chu Xi knew that Yun had been frightened by the blood-stained clothes that day, so she started wearing red clothes more often.
