You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Pei Yanli raised his thin lips slightly when he heard this. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on his shoulders. Most of his handsome face was immersed in the shadows. His sparkling peach blossom eyes showed an unclear emotion:

"Don't you think it would be more fun if she was scared like a little rabbit..."

……

After Lin Wan arrived at the Duke's Mansion, the coldness in his body finally eased a lot.

Mrs. Lin was about to take the black chicken soup to the study for Duke Lin, but when she saw Lin Wan's appearance, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Why is it that after these two go out and come back they look as if their souls have been taken away?

"What's wrong with you? Isn't it fun to go to Pei Mansion today?"

Mrs. Lin was an experienced person and thought that Lin Wan had a conflict with the boy from the Pei family.

Lin Wan shook his head and forced a smile:

"No, I just played for too long and I'm a little tired."

As he spoke, Lin Wan looked at the black chicken soup in Mrs. Lin's hand and said:

"Is this for Daddy?"

Mrs. Lin nodded and said:

"Yes, if you want a drink, go to the kitchen and ask for it yourself. There's more."

"it is good."

Seeing that she was fine, Mrs. Lin went to the study with the black chicken soup.

In the study, Duke Lin looked at the black iron dagger in his hand, his expression tinged with sadness.

This black iron dagger was once given to him by the emperor. The brotherhood between him and Marquis Xuanping had been divided due to different philosophies long before the emperor ascended the throne. He originally thought that the emperor would always be his elder brother, but now it seems.

They have all changed in quality.

Today he went to the emperor again to talk about the cancellation of the engagement, but he didn't expect the emperor to say that it was he who granted the marriage and that the royal family would decide what would happen next. If he continued to make trouble, he would be killed.

Clearly, he was fine rolling around and throwing a tantrum in the imperial study yesterday, but today the eldest brother said he wanted to kill him!

It was as if he had become a different person overnight...

Duke Lin smiled bitterly.

Where is the true love above the imperial power?

"Why do you look like you've been hurt by a woman?"

When Mrs. Lin came in, she saw Duke Lin with a sad face and spoke.

Lord Lin: ...

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Lin asked:

"How did Zhao Zhao's marriage go?"

"Let's not talk about this marriage anymore. Whether to cancel or not, and how to cancel, it's all up to the emperor to decide."

Mrs. Lin Dunzhu:

"What does this mean? Can't we cancel the marriage even though the person is no longer married?"

"Who knows? Your heart is hard to predict!"

This was the first time that Madam Lin heard Duke Lin say that the emperor's mind was hard to predict. In the past, when Duke Lin talked about the emperor, there was admiration in his eyes. Although he didn't say it, Madam Lin could see it.

But now, when he talked about the emperor, he looked heartbroken.

"Did you have a quarrel with the Emperor?"

Duke Lin felt uncomfortable when he thought about the emperor saying he wanted to kill him, and he didn't even want to answer what Madam Lin asked.

When the emperor said he wanted to kill him, his murderous intent was genuine, and this was what chilled Duke Lin to the core.

"Madam, the soup is here. You can go back and rest first! Let me be alone for a while."

Madam Lin looked at Duke Lin for a while and nodded:

"Then I'll go out first. Remember to drink the soup..."

……

Lin Wan was thinking about the black chicken soup made by Mrs. Lin, so she quickly went to the kitchen.

To get to the kitchen, one had to pass through the path in front of Lin Zhaoyue's yard. She looked at Chu Bai coming towards her, and remembered that Lin Zhaoyue had asked someone to free him from slavery, so she stopped him.

Chu Bai didn't expect Lin Wan to stop him, so he bowed according to the rules:

"Miss."

Lin Wan hummed and said:

"Your good citizen certificate has been issued. It is at the chief steward's place. Go pick it up tomorrow."

"Yes, thank you Miss."

I don’t know where Zhao Zhao bought Chu Bai. Even though he was wearing a coarse linen shirt, his temperament was still outstanding.

"Since your good citizen documents have been issued and Zhao Zhao is no longer with us, if you don't want to work in the Duke's Mansion, just tell the steward directly. He will settle your wages."

Hearing Lin Wan's words, Chu Bai's lowered eyebrows flickered slightly.

Why do so many people think that he should leave the Duke's Mansion?

"Yes, Miss Xie."

Lin Wan waved her hand and went to the kitchen.

After Lin Wan's back disappeared, Chu Bai walked towards the main entrance.

I walked out of the front gate and to the corner of the street, where a carriage was parked.

He walked up, and the carriage wobbled to the inn they had visited last time.

As soon as Chu Bai entered the room, Li Rongqing and others bowed to him:

"Meet the Ninth Prince."

Chu Bai: ...

"I am not your Ninth Prince."

Seeing that they were still kneeling, Chu Bai pursed his lips and said:

"You guys get up first!"

After several people stood up, Li Rongqing said:

"Ninth Prince, the Queen already knows that you are in Anguo and that you have always disbelieved in your own identity, so she has specially sent a witch doctor here. He can find a way to prove your identity."

After Li Rongqing finished speaking, a dark-skinned man in a black robe and wolf-tooth earrings stood up:

"Your Highness pays respect to the Ninth Prince."

Chu Bai knew that even if he was corrected again, they would still call him the Ninth Prince, so he said nothing more, only:

"How do you prove that I am the Ninth Prince you are talking about?"

"This is simple."

As the witch doctor spoke, he took out two glass cups and opened them.

I saw two insects, one big and one small, wriggling in the two glass cups.

"This is a Gu from the same root. They drank the Queen's blood before they came here. Now they are adding the Ninth Prince's blood. If the Ninth Prince is the Queen's biological son, they will not die after drinking the Ninth Prince's blood. If not, they will die."

Chu Bai looked at the squirming poisonous insect and said:

"What will happen if the test shows that I am not your Ninth Prince?"

If Chu Bai is not aware of this royal secret, then the only fate waiting for him is death!

"die!"

Li Rongqing said so.

Chu Bai heard this and curled his thin lips vaguely:

"In that case, if I am, can you work for me?"

"Yes! We are willing to sacrifice our lives for the Ninth Prince."

Several people knelt down again.

In order to verify the reliability of the same-root Gu, the witch doctor first used Li Rongqing's blood to feed the other pair. After drinking Li Rongqing's blood, the Gu first twisted violently and then died.

When it came time to draw Chu Bai's blood, everyone stared with their eyes wide open, not blinking.

The royal bloodline cannot tolerate the slightest negligence.

After drinking Chu Bai's blood, the same-root insect seemed very excited, as if it had eaten something delicious, and kept stretching its head to look around.

"Alive, not dead! You are really our Ninth Prince. I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince..."

This time, the witch doctor knelt down first and bowed his head to the ground, extremely pious.

As long as the Ninth Prince is not dead, their people will be saved!

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince!"

"You two should get up first. From now on, just call me Young Master in Anguo. The Ninth Prince is too conspicuous."

"Yes……"

"You said you could work for me. I want to know the whereabouts of Miss Lin Er."

As soon as Chu Bai finished speaking, Chen Hu's voice came over:

"Miss Lin Er... is in the East Palace."
