A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chu Jingchen sat at the desk, his eyes looking down at Han Bai. Han Bai half-knelt on the ground and replied respectfully:

"My Lord, I have discovered that the wife of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion takes one of her maids with her on the first day of every month to go to the Qingdao Temple to burn incense. Her maid is skilled in martial arts, so the people we send there are afraid of being exposed, so they can't follow her very far!"

"I went to follow them myself, and sure enough, someone from Dongli Nation met with them secretly. I was afraid of alerting them, so I didn't continue to inquire!

But I captured this.”

After he finished reporting everything in detail, he stood up straight and handed the letter to Chu Jingchen with both hands.

Chu Jingchen calmly opened the letter. It was just a blank piece of paper with not a single word on it.

Chu Jingchen had no expression on his face, but calmly used a candle to burn the white paper! After a while, a line of handwriting appeared! The content of the letter:

"Qi Chao Capital, Princess Ying Jue, kill!"

After reading it, he casually placed the letter on top of the candle. As the flame shone brightly, the letter gradually turned into ashes in his hand!

After doing all this, Chu Jingchen leisurely wrote something on the desk.

He ordered: "When the Turkic envoys arrive in Beijing, you must send some people to secretly protect them! There must be no mistakes!"

Han Bo Zhengding replied "yes", then stood up and prepared to leave the study!

"Wait!"

Being suddenly stopped by Chu Jingchen, Han Bo originally thought that there was something else he hadn't told him.

Just listen to him say:

"Go and ask around. Princess Ye entered the palace some time ago! But what kind of grievances did she suffer? What happened?"

Han Bai had been waiting intently for his next order! But he had never imagined that it would be something other than official business! And it was actually about Princess Ye?

Then he asked curiously, "Master, when did you become so interested in Princess Ye?"

Chu Jingchen's face straightened. He was originally serious, but now he became even more serious. His eyes also changed, becoming sharp and cold. He didn't answer, but just glanced at him.

This is a warning that cannot be ignored.

It was as if telling Han Bai that if he dared to say another word, the consequences would be disastrous. Han Bai felt this transparent pressure and couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He immediately closed his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.

So he quickly agreed and walked out of the study quickly.

When he got outside, he exclaimed, "Ugh... I was so scared, luckily I ran fast!"

"Hey...what's wrong with you?"

Qi Feng came to him quietly and patted Han Bo's shoulder, which startled him. He turned around and looked at Qi Feng, saying angrily:

"Oh, you dead scholar, why are you silent? You scared me to death!"

Qi Feng didn't say anything, but jokingly asked in a joking tone: "Hey, who can scare our General Han into such a timid look?"

"Go, go, go away... Stop talking, I have official business to attend to. You still owe me a drink, don't forget it!"

After saying this, Han Bo waved his hand in disdain to interrupt him, then left in a hurry.

Jing'an Marquis Mansion,

In the study,

Sitting at the table was a middle-aged man in a dark robe, Jing'an Hou (An Zhengzhong). He had a beard around his mouth. He looked particularly vicissitudes of life, but his eyes were piercing as he looked down. An Tingfeng, the imposter (Jiang Lin)

Jiang Lin's true identity is actually a member of the Jiang family whose property was confiscated 20 years ago. He is the male protagonist's cousin!

"The Jiang family was falsely accused of treason by treacherous officials and their property was confiscated. On the battlefield, due to lack of support, the 7-strong Jiang family army was almost wiped out. Only -year-old Jiang Lin and his sister were rescued by their wet nurse."

Jiang Lin pretends to be the real An Tingfeng and secretly investigates the truth of that year!

"Father, with Yingjue's envoys coming to the capital, the imperial court will definitely increase its military strength. We should stop having close contact with Dongli for now!"

An Zhengzhong looked gloomy, and then said: He seemed to be thinking deeply.

"You're right to worry. At this critical juncture, we must be even more cautious! For the time being, please don't exchange letters."

An Zhengzhong paused, looking at An Tingfeng with a look of relief on his face! None of his sons could compare to this concubine's son! Not only was he talented in both civil and military affairs, he was also responsible!

In his thinking, there is no concept of legitimate sons and illegitimate sons, and he only likes the most capable one.

"Okay, let's do as you say! You go down first!"

An Tingfeng retreated obediently. After he left the house, his seemingly filial face immediately disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.

His eyes were sharp and filled with endless hatred towards the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion.

the next morning,

Yi Duoer got up early, rinsed her mouth, changed into clean clothes, and walked out of the house. Her body shivered involuntarily a few times.

"It's really cold! I haven't exercised in a long time. When I divorce Chu Junye and go out to explore the world, I can't do without martial arts! Even if it hails today, I have to practice!"

After muttering, Yi Duoer gritted her teeth and dove into the snow. She started doing warm-up exercises!

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Two, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight..."

As the slogans rang out, Yi Duoer twisted her body left and right! When she was doing it vigorously, Yu Shu came over with something in his hand.

After seeing Yi Duoer making strange movements, he started jogging around the yard again and asked curiously:

"Miss, it's so cold outside. What are you doing here? Come in! Today is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the day you return to the Yi Mansion!"

Yi Duoer also reacted at this time. She knew that this was the custom here, and her husband had to accompany her back.

But Chu Junye left the house early in the morning, and she went back alone. However, she didn't expect him to support her.

Yi Duoer had just completed another half-hour of intense exercise. When it was over, she slumped back in her chair, panting and exhausted, as if all her strength had been drained away in an instant.

By this time, her dress was already soaked with sweat, clinging to her skin, outlining her curves, which had become even more alluring due to exercise. Sweat dripped down her delicate face like beads from a broken string. She was breathing heavily, but her face was filled with contentment.

"Miss, I have prepared the bath water,"

Yi Duoer nodded with satisfaction. After she took a shower and changed into clean clothes, a smile appeared on the corner of Yi Duoer's lips.

"Let's go, Yushu. We have more money to put into our pockets."

Yu Shu stood there, not understanding what she said, until Yi Duoer was no longer visible. She had already walked out of the house, and Yu Shu hurriedly chased after her, "Miss, wait for me!"

A moment later, Yi Duoer and Yu Shu arrived outside the Shangshu Mansion! Yi Duoer swaggered towards the gate.

Being stopped by a servant, Yi Duoer looked at the servant sharply. The servant felt a chill on his back when he was stared at by her!

I wondered, is the woman in front of me still the same soft, gullible, and foolish Fourth Miss? Why is it that the Fourth Miss today seems like a completely different person?

Yu Shu quickly stepped forward and scolded, "You're blind! How dare you, a dog slave, stop the Fourth Young Lady from returning home!"

Yi Duoer was surprised when she heard Yu Shu's words, and secretly praised her. Not bad, after following her for so long, she also learned a little bit of her essence.
