Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Zhou Tingxu gritted his teeth and turned away.

Can't stay here any longer.

It would have been fine if the King of Chu had turned a blind eye to the grievances she had suffered, but she was a little frustrated that the medicine she used, which was so precious and rare, was just like an ordinary thing to Jiang Ningwan, even though she claimed to be treating the King of Chu.

He left the Prince of Chu's palace full of resentment.

Xiao Lan pretended to shout, "Someone, send Miss Zhou Er away."

Seeing Zhou Tingxu leave, Jiang Ningwan looked at Qin Shuangchi, thinking that he would protect Zhou Tingxu.

This guy has a really weird temper.

Now that you're here, why not ask clearly now?

"Your Highness, was Zhou Tingxu sent by the Queen? Is he here to monitor your health?"

Qin Shuangchi's eyes darkened. Since she had guessed it, there was nothing to hide.

"Yes."

Sure enough.

It seems that he tolerated Zhou Tingxu's visit to take his pulse every day because he couldn't refuse.

"What about the divorce letter?"

He Lishu?

Li Chun and Xiao Lan's pupils dilated. Li Chun was shocked. What happened to them that they wanted to divorce?

Seeing this, Xiao Lan quickly pulled Li Chun away. This was not something they could listen to.

Qin Shuangchi said in a deep voice: "I have said that the divorce letter is a choice for you."

Jiang Ningwan pressed on: "Can you explain yourself clearly? What's your choice?"

“Why should I choose?”

"Divorce if you want, then divorce. If you don't want to divorce, then divorce. Why did you give me a divorce letter for no reason and told me to make my own choice? If I did anything wrong, you can just tell me."

"If I can change it, I will. If I can't, just bear with it."

Judging from his attitude towards Zhou Tingxu now, it doesn’t seem like he gave her the divorce letter because of Zhou Tingxu.

If they really divorced, it would be difficult to explain to the Queen Mother, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Qin Shuangchi's expression was calm and unperturbed. He said calmly, "Ling Chaowen and Ling Jinlan are almost in Kyoto. You'll know when they come back."

After saying that, Qin Shuangchi slowly left.

Jiang Ningwan frowned, feeling inexplicably uneasy.

Back in the study, Xiao Lan followed closely behind and silently added more tea. "Didn't the prince intend to use Zhou Tingxu to drive the lady away? Why did he treat Zhou Tingxu like this today?"

Qin Shuangchi's lowered brows revealed a hint of helplessness.

Quietly flipping through the secret report.

Youyou said: "Zhou Tingxu is too much."

Xiao Lan saw through it and couldn't help but laugh: "Your Highness can't bear to hurt Madam, right?"

"In my opinion, the two siblings of the Ling family may not know anything. The fate between the prince and the lady will not be severed so easily."

"Why bother giving the divorce papers so early and making Madam feel resentful?"

Qin Shuangchi frowned slightly, "You talk too much."

Xiao Lan had no choice but to shut up.

Suddenly, Qin Shuangchi spoke again: "They are almost in Kyoto. Their whereabouts will be more easily exposed. We must have someone keep a close eye on them and escort them back to Kyoto safely."

Xiao Lan nodded.

Qin Shuangchi didn't even raise his head, "Speak,"

"Yes!"

……

Station.

Ling Chaowen sat on the stone bench outside the door, with his legs crossed, looking at the map in his hand while chewing a steamed bun.

We are finally arriving in Kyoto.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.

Maybe he will arrive in Kyoto before Jinlan.

Thinking of this, I felt very proud.

At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of several men dressed in gangster style entering the post station.

Ling Chaowen was suddenly startled and stared at those people, all of whom were holding weapons. The horses being led to the stable were covered in yellow mud. He turned around and glanced at the horse eating grass behind him, which was also covered in the same yellow mud.

His expression changed.

Could it be that this group of people followed him all the way here?

broken.

While those people entered the post station, Ling Chaowen carefully approached the stable and added something to the hay.

Then he immediately mounted his horse, whipped it and rode away.

A few people who had just entered the post station heard the sound of horse hooves and hurried out to take a look.

Then he was shocked.

"Oh no, he ran away!"

"Quick! Catch up!"

Several people immediately mounted their horses and chased after him.

When Ling Chaowen heard the sound of chasing horses behind him, he was shocked. They were really coming for him. They had followed him all the way without attacking him!

He fled at full speed and was already near Kyoto City. He was already very familiar with the terrain nearby and turned into a secluded path with full confidence.

The people chasing behind were soon forced to stop because their horses were drugged, and there was nowhere to buy horses in the wilderness.

"Oh no! The prince told me not to lose him!"

"Who would have thought that this kid would suddenly become alert? He slept like a pig when he stayed in a black shop before."

If they hadn't secretly escorted him all the way, that kid would have been killed by the sword long ago.

After galloping all the way, I finally arrived at a safe place and saw that no one was catching up with me.

Ling Chaowen dismounted with peace of mind and found a place to sit down and rest. "Fortunately, I'm smart."

"I have some knockout drugs on me for traveling around the world."

As he spoke, he slowly lay down, planning to take a short rest before setting off.

But at this moment, a large number of men in black were slowly approaching from the bushes behind him.

When Ling Chaowen noticed something unusual, he suddenly opened his eyes.

But a handkerchief suddenly covered his mouth and nose, and in an instant, he passed out.

"It's such a waste to use so many of our men to catch this guy."

……

Two days passed.

Zhou Tingxu came again, as if nothing had happened, to diagnose and treat the King of Chu.

Jiang Ningwan ignored it. After all, it was the Queen's order and she couldn't disobey it.

When she was about to go out, Lichun suddenly came running over and handed her a letter.

"Miss, someone from the Qin family just came and said that you must open the letter yourself. They also asked you to meet by the lake ten miles outside the city."

"Who wants to see me?"

Li Chun said in a heavy tone: "Qin Beihuang."

Jiang Ningwan frowned in disgust. She didn't want to open the letter, but she felt something hard inside the letter, so she opened it and took a look.

The letter was blank.

There is only one jade pendant.

In an instant, Jiang Ningwan's mind buzzed.

This is Ling Chaowen’s jade pendant!

Oh no, something happened to Ling Chaowen!

Without thinking too much, Jiang Ningwan set off immediately and rushed to Shili Lake outside the city.

At the corner, Zhou Tingxu happened to hear all the conversations, his eyes darkened. Jiang Ningwan was going to meet Qin Beihuang, and the King of Chu couldn't miss such a good show.

If the King of Chu witnessed Jiang Ningwan and Qin Beihuang's secret meeting, it would be hard to imagine how long Jiang Ningwan could remain the Princess of Chu.

Thinking of this, she smiled triumphantly and went to the Chu King's courtyard.

……

Before going to Shili Lake outside the city, Jiang Ningwan rushed to Huichun Hall to ask Doctor Hong.

Doctor Hong shook his head. "So far, there's been no news about them."

"Our personnel are already keeping a close watch near Kyoto City."

After receiving this answer, Jiang Ningwan's heart sank. It seemed that Ling Chaowen had indeed fallen into their hands.

Go see Qin Beihuang first and see if we can negotiate.

I rode my horse hurriedly to Shili Lake and saw a figure sitting in the pavilion by the lake from afar.

She dismounted and walked over quickly.

He got straight to the point and took out the jade pendant. "What does this mean? Is Ling Chaowen in your hands?"

Qin Beihuang was not in a hurry. He slowly poured two cups of tea and said, "Sit down and talk slowly."

He also found it difficult to talk about this matter.

Jiang Ningwan sat down impatiently, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"

In the distance, a carriage came to the side of the road. Zhou Tingxu lifted the carriage curtain and looked towards the lake.

Pretend to be surprised.

"Ah! Isn't that General Jiang and Qin Beihuang? Why are they here..."

The carriage stopped and was hidden by the bushes.

Qin Shuangchi looked in the direction of her finger and saw the figures of Jiang Ningwan and Qin Beihuang.

"General Jiang actually came here to meet Qin Beihuang secretly without the prince's knowledge. It's a waste of the prince's sincerity towards her. I really feel sorry for the prince..."
