Ever since the marriage incident, the Queen had been in tears all day. Xie Zhiyi's daily attempts to comfort her only served to worsen her mood. Now, the matter was a done deal.

Now the only thing left to be decided is the date of the marriage; everything else has been arranged.

Xie Sui went to the palace again today, thinking that this visit would probably set the date for Xie Zhiyi's departure to Zhao State. Yu Guiwan did not go to the palace because Chu Yue came to Prince Chen's mansion early this morning.

Chu Yue had been in Prince Chen's Mansion for a while, but he hadn't said a word from beginning to end. He was just writing something on the side.

Yu Guiwan was sitting aside reading a book, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Master, you didn't come here today just to practice calligraphy, did you?" She looked towards Chu Yue's position and found that she was still writing.

Chu Yue put down his brush and walked over to sit beside Yu Guiwan. "Are you becoming more and more impatient now? I just took a little longer, why are you so anxious?"

"I'm just curious about what Master is writing." Yu Guiwan said happily and poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

"It's not because of you."

After this trip, Chu Yue finally figured out a way to cure Xie Sui, but one of the medicines was too hard to find. The only clue only pointed to one location.

Yu Guiwan reacted immediately, his eyes lighting up, "Master! Really?"

Chu Yue nodded, his expression solemn. "Really? But that medicinal herb is too hard to find. I've been searching for it for so long but still can't find it. It's very likely that only the State of Zhao has it."

Hearing this, she frowned, "Then Master is going to Zhao State?"

Chu Yue nodded, but her expression remained unchanged. "It would be fine if that thing was in Zhao State. The difficulty lies in that thing being in the Zhao Palace." She also knew that she would be able to sneak into the Zhao Palace by joining the marriage team soon.

But he still doesn't have a legitimate identity, so it would be difficult to find the whereabouts of the medicinal materials in the palace.

Yu Guiwan thought for a moment and said, "Then I will go to the Zhao Palace. I think I should still have a chance if I stay with Xie Zhiyi." Yu Guiwan made the decision immediately.

As long as he could find this medicinal herb, Xie Sui would be just like them from now on. He would no longer need to take medicine every day to maintain his health.

This time she must find that medicinal herb no matter what. Besides, Xie Zhiyi will probably need someone to accompany her when she goes to marry. Otherwise, how can she carry out the next plan?

"You need to think it through."

Chu Yue did not stop Yu Guiwan. She knew Yu Guiwan's abilities and understood that she did this for Xie Sui.

"I've thought it through clearly. After all, this opportunity is hard to come by and cannot be missed." Yu Guiwan said in a firm tone.

Chu Yue smiled and said, "You have thought it through, but some people will not let you take risks." Xie Sui's temper would never allow Yu Guiwan to take risks, especially in a foreign country.

If something really happens, it will be different from the capital.

So even if she agreed, Xie Sui wouldn't agree.

Royal study room.

Xie Zhiyi was summoned by Xie Xu. She didn't expect Xie Sui to be there when she arrived. She saluted politely:

"Yong'an pays homage to the Emperor."

"I've met the emperor's uncle."

After these days, Xie Xu didn't dare to visit Xie Zhiyi. Every time he thought about her going to marry, his eyes couldn't help but redden, let alone seeing Xie Zhiyi in person.

Xie Xu pinched his brows and controlled his emotions, "Get up, Yongan."

"Thank you, Father."

Xie Zhiyi stood up straight, but Xie Xu hesitated to speak. Xie Sui immediately said, "Yong'an, the emperor summoned you here to tell you the date of your marriage to the State of Zhao."

"My Royal Brother thought it would be better to wait until after the New Year before setting off for Zhao State, so he set the date for the end of March."

Xie Sui knew that his brother couldn't bear to speak, so he spoke on his brother's behalf.

"Yong'an always listens to his father."

When Xie Xu heard Xie Zhiyi say this, he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart. "Yong'an." He shouted uncomfortably.

This time, it was Xie Zhiyi who came to comfort him. "Father, Yong'an is truly willing this time. Father, please don't worry about Yong'an anymore."

"Besides, he's just going to marry, not to die."

Xie Zhiyi spoke nonchalantly. "Isn't it just a trip to Zhao?" The Crown Prince was just a bit dissolute. At most, she could just live in peace with him. She would be his Crown Princess, and he would be his Crown Prince of Zhao.

"Bullshit."

Xie Xu glared at Xie Zhiyi.

Xie Sui couldn't help but speak. If she didn't tell him when, "Yong'an, I have a more important task for you to do when you go to marry. You can come back after it's successful."

"what?"

Xie Zhiyi was really confused now.

"You went there this time ostensibly for a marriage alliance, but in reality, you went there for cooperation," Xie Sui explained.

"cooperate?"

Xie Zhiyi asked in return, "Isn't this marriage just for the purpose of cooperating with the State of Zhao?"

Seeing that she didn't understand, Xie Xu continued, "Cooperation. This time, ostensibly just for the purpose of marriage, but the real purpose is to meet King Zhao and then convince him to cooperate with us."

"Compared to a woman, interests can move people more. So, Yongan, are you willing to go?"

Xie Xu still asked the question himself.

Xie Zhiyi was not stupid, so she naturally understood what her father meant. She could accept a marriage alliance, let alone a superficial one, so why would she be unwilling?

"Yongan is willing to go."

She spoke firmly.

Xie Xu's eyes were red, and he said with relief: "Well, you are worthy of being my daughter." Although she was not going to marry a foreign prince, there were many dangers along the way, and he was really worried.

"But who should we send as the envoy for the marriage?"

"Why not let Lord Ji continue to escort the princess there during the marriage? He has already been to Zhao State once, so he should be quite familiar with the country. He is also quite talented, so we can rest assured in handing this matter over to him."

Xie Sui still recognized Ji Mingchuan's abilities.

Xie Xu nodded in agreement. "Then let's leave this matter to him. Who should we choose to escort Yong'an? I wonder how Yu Wang's eldest son is recovering from his injuries?"

"Royal brother, please send someone else. Master Chu Yue said that his hand can no longer be restored to its former state."

Xie Sui certainly knew Yu Yanlin's situation, and he was probably not capable of doing the job if he was sent there now.

This really stumped Xie Xu. Yu Wang certainly couldn't leave the capital at this time, so who should be responsible for this matter?

"It's getting late today. You all should go back. I will think about it."

Xie Xu waved his hand. He still cared about Xie Sui's health. It was getting late, so he should leave the palace as soon as possible.
