Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

But you can't say this out loud.

Because she knew that the man in front of her was not some little puppy, but a big wolfdog who had been single for many years, and she didn't dare to tease him easily.

"Then take a closer look. It's yours after all, so look at it however you want. I won't laugh at you. If you can't see it clearly, I can deliver it to Youyou." Li Tianze suppressed his inner turmoil and moved his face closer and said seriously.

"Cough cough cough..." Leng Youran was frightened by his face suddenly approaching her, and quickly turned her head away, not daring to stare at him anymore.

At that moment, their noses were about to touch, causing her hair to stand on end as she was already a little sensitive.

Li Tianze was amused by her appearance, but he was afraid that she would feel embarrassed so he didn't dare to laugh out loud and could only hold it in.

Leng Youran could clearly feel the frame of the car shaking slightly. Her face, which had just blushed with embarrassment, became even redder. She reached out and fanned her burning cheeks, and finally managed to calm herself down.

She knew very well that she couldn't continue the previous topic.

Men really understand the relationship between men and women without any guidance.

It was clearly her who had just flirted, but in the blink of an eye she became the host.

I can’t stand it, I really can’t stand it.

He cleared his itchy throat and said, "Ahem, do you know about Zhao Mingyao's influence in the capital? Or do you know where Chu Weian and his men are?"

Li Tianze was a little sad to see her suddenly change the subject. Just now he felt that they could both take a step further.

Who would have thought that the girl would brake again halfway.

While feeling sad, he also admired Leng Youran. He didn't know what this girl was thinking. She changed the topic so quickly and jumped back to the business.

He was forced to suppress the emotions that were about to overflow in his heart.

"His people are scattered widely. There are imperial guards stationed in the capital, so there probably aren't many of them in the capital, except for the imperial guards who came to assassinate Zhuang Chenxu and his men last time."

"I remember that the group of people we met in the Three Gorges Bay seemed to be different from the Royal Secret Guards. Aren't those people part of the Royal Secret Guards?" Leng Youran stopped being shy when she saw him take over her words, and the blush on her face faded away a lot.

"No, those people should be Zhao Mingyao's own secret guards. As for the Royal Secret Guards, they usually appear by the emperor's side a year after he ascends the throne. Why was Zhao Mingyao able to control the Royal Secret Guards so quickly? I think there must be some reason we don't know."

Somehow, when Leng Youran heard this, she suddenly remembered Chu Zhaolin that Leng Chengye and the others had mentioned before.

She always felt that it was inexplicable that Queen Mother Chu targeted Lijia. Even if she wanted to blame someone, it should be the late emperor. After all, it was the late emperor who separated her from her childhood sweetheart.

Why did she blame Li Jia for losing his life because of them?

"Tianze, Queen Mother Chu, do you understand?"

When Li Tianze heard the three words "Queen Mother Chu", his body obviously tensed up, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Empress Dowager Chu is the eldest daughter of the Chu family. She lost her parents at an early age, but her brother, Chu Weian, doted on her very much. Even though he no longer had parents, he still doted on her. Chu Weian was originally only a fourth-rank official, and was virtually unknown in the capital. Back then, we left home and your Leng family were at the height of our fame because of the old emperor's relationship. Your father and I also had extensive connections with the late emperor, who was then the crown prince. Because of the old emperor's relationship, many people speculated that the late emperor's empress would be from our family. However, I don't know if it was fate or destiny, but after the old emperor had this idea, our two families didn't produce a woman of the right age to match him."

"Later, as my father and your father grew up, the old emperor stopped pursuing them. After failing to find a suitable daughter-in-law from either of our families, he set his sights on the late crown prince's maternal family. Fortunately, the late queen mother was a good person, but good people don't pay with their lives."

Leng Youran didn't understand why he mentioned this, because it had nothing to do with the Chu family?

Thinking this way, I asked, "But what does this have to do with the Chu family?"

Li Tianze shook his head slightly. "Well, it's related. You should know that the late Crown Prince was born to the late Queen, right?"

Leng Youran nodded.

"But what you don't know is that the former Crown Prince's mother died during childbirth due to a stimulus."

Leng Youran frowned, suddenly remembering what Leng Chengye had said before, "You mean, the late Queen Mother's death was caused by the late Emperor, who was still the Crown Prince, getting drunk and favoring Queen Mother Chu?"

Li Tianze nodded.

"They say he was drunk, but the late emperor always had a good alcohol tolerance. No one knows what happened that night."

At this time, Leng Youran had already imagined a big drama in his mind.

For example, Chu Weian wanted to curry favor with the powerful and send his sister to the prince's bed.

For example, the Queen Mother of Chu was already fond of the late emperor, so she devised this plan.

.......

Leng Youran thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you and the Chu family been at odds since the beginning?"

If it weren't for the little girl sitting next to him and his future wife's master sitting in the carriage, Li Tianze would have been unable to suppress his anger.

He said in a deep voice, somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Not on good terms? You might not believe it, but my father and the Chu family's adopted son were once close friends. Coincidentally, after Queen Mother Chu married into the Crown Prince's residence, the Chu family's adopted son suddenly disappeared."

"My father sent people everywhere to look for him. After much investigation, he finally found out that he had joined the military. Because my father has been dealing with people in the military for many years, he had people take good care of him after learning about him. Later, that adopted son became famous, but I didn't expect..."

Leng Youran noticed that his hands were trembling. She reached out and grasped his tense arm, squeezing it gently. Li Tianze felt the warmth on his hand and suppressed his murderous intent. He looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, Youyou. I just lost control for a moment."

"I know. I don't need to tell you. I roughly know what happened afterwards. I just didn't expect that General Li and Chu Zhaolin had such an intersection."

Li Tianze breathed a sigh of relief, "Yeah, if it weren't for that kind of friendship, my father might not have been framed by him so easily."

"Have you found the evidence?"

Li Tianze nodded silently, "Well, but that person is nowhere to be found now. What's the use even if there is evidence?" His father's death is the thing he least wants to think about.

He was such a heroic man back then, but in the end he was accused of being too reckless and falling into the enemy's trap, resulting in the deaths of 20,000 of his soldiers.

During those years, people would point fingers at their family whenever they walked down the street. Grandfather's health deteriorated year by year due to the loss of his father, and in the end, he was murdered...

Sitting in the carriage and listening to their entire conversation, You Xian couldn't help but frown.
