After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Bai Zunyue glanced at her, her eyes devoid of emotion, and simply told her to leave first. Ye Yuwu, unaware of what they were up to, obediently left.

Only after she disappeared did Bai Zunyue lower the curtain.

Inside the carriage, Xiao Yulan's face was cold, and her eyes were sharp as she stared at Bai Zunyue.

Qiao Songqing looked left and right, seemingly still not understanding what was going on, but the tension between the two of them was already quite high.

"What are you two doing?" Qiao Songqing was caught between the two of them, feeling a little lost, but she didn't know what was going on between them.

Neither of them spoke first; instead, they sat silently opposite each other, their heads turned forward.

"I didn't know you were starting to care about Yu Wu, Ziyu." Xiao Yulan suddenly turned back, her eyes cold and sharp as she stared at Bai Zunyue, as if trying to see through him, but the smile on her lips carried an inexplicable hint of cold indifference.

“I don’t know whether Ziyu cares or not, but I can clearly see that you care, Yanyu. Didn’t you look down on Ye Yuwu just like me before? How come when you saw her on the street today, you had the coachman stop next to her and greeted her so kindly? Have you been possessed by something?” Qiao Songqing couldn’t help but interrupt Xiao Yulan and voiced his doubts first.

Qiao Songqing finally realized that Bai Zunyue was stubbornly refusing to admit that she had any interest in Ye Yuwu, and Xiao Yulan had been acting strangely lately.

He's really in a tough spot. He has brothers on both sides, and if they start fighting, he won't know who to help.

But the fight that Qiao Songqing had anticipated did not happen. The two of them were eerily peaceful, as if nothing had happened.

Seemingly realizing that Bai Zunyue had no intention of speaking, Xiao Yulan spoke again, "Yuwu was naive and young before. It was only natural that she would like Ziyu's face after seeing him once. But she won't do that now."

Xiao Yulan didn't say much more, but he knew that Bai Zunyue understood what he meant.

Bai Zunyue remained expressionless and naturally didn't respond, but her hands beneath her sleeves were already clenched tightly.

Meanwhile, Qiao Songqing on the other side was still laughing it off.

The two soon returned to their previous friendly demeanor, even laughing and discussing recent events in the court, which truly startled Qiao Songqing.

These two are incredibly skilled actors; he was ashamed of his own abilities. In just a short while, he acted as if nothing had happened, as if his previous arrogance had vanished.

The situation in the imperial court is unpredictable. Ye Yuwu's story had caused a great uproar, and many people were watching her closely, including those who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and those with ill intentions.

They never expected that the Crown Prince, whom they had been searching for so long without success, was actually in Bianjing.

Moreover, he suddenly reappeared on his own. It is said that he was seriously injured and had gone to the countryside to recuperate. He only attended court twice this time. It is said that his injury has not fully healed and has relapsed in the past few days. Therefore, the emperor told him not to attend court for the next few days and to rest in the Eastern Palace.

"But now, none of the assassins who attacked the Crown Prince are willing to reveal who is behind them. They have all committed suicide. It's terrifying. This matter is not that simple."

Qiao Songqing's expression was unusually solemn.

"I'm afraid it was done by outsiders."

"Yan Yu, are you referring to other countries?"

"Didn't you say that an envoy from Lin Yue Kingdom would be coming in a while?" Bai Zunyue, who had been listening to them talk with her eyes closed, suddenly blurted out this question without even moving her eyelids.

"Hiss~" Qiao Songqing seemed to have thought of that too, "I heard they also brought a princess, intending to arrange a marriage, but their intention is the one above, or..."

"Regardless of their intentions, Lin Yue is currently in turmoil, plagued by constant civil war. It is said that Lin Yue is divided into two factions: one is the conservative faction led by the Empress Dowager and her relatives, and the other is the royalist faction. However, this emperor is still young and is trying to break free from the Empress Dowager's control. Now he has sent his own sister to marry into the royal family. Tsk tsk, their intentions are too obvious. I just don't know if His Majesty is willing to get involved in this mess." Qiao Songqing analyzed the current situation.

"Lin Yue is currently plagued by internal troubles and can't even handle its own affairs properly, so it probably doesn't have the guts to send someone to assassinate us. On the other hand, Fu Lin's national strength has been growing stronger in recent years, and it seems to be showing signs of surpassing our Jin Kingdom. Friction frequently breaks out on the border between them and their neighboring kingdoms. Moreover, their monarch has great ambitions, and it's hard to guarantee that he won't extend his reach to Bianjing." Qiao Songqing was also analyzing seriously.

However, after discussing it for so long, they still couldn't glean any useful information from it.

"When the delegation arrives in the capital, won't we see the real results?"

The carriage had already left the bustling street.

The carriage, which had been filled with lively conversation, suddenly fell silent, so quiet that only the sound of the wheel tracks could be heard.

All three were lost in thought, thus becoming absorbed in their own worlds.

Meanwhile, Ye Yuwu had already quickly walked back into the bookstore.

Qi Jingyue, who was diligently "attracting" customers at the door, teased her, asking if she was being chased by a ghost because she was running so fast.

This time, Ye Yuwu didn't roll her eyes at him. Instead, she said with lingering fear, "Isn't it scarier than a ghost?!"

Without waiting for Qi Jingyue's reaction, she walked into the store.

Upon hearing her words, Qi Jingyue took it seriously, and his original smile disappeared. Seeing that the people in the bookstore were not looking at him, he waved to an empty space not far away. After a while, a figure appeared silently beside him.

Wu Zong whispered in his ear.

Qi Jingyue then learned that she had encountered Bai Zunyue and others on her way back and had even exchanged some words with them. However, they did not dare to get too close, otherwise they would be discovered by the three people hiding in the shadows.

"After he came back, Manager Ye became like this."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jingyue's eyes turned dark, as deep and boundless as the night. He waved his hand, signaling Wuzong to hide back in the shadows.

But he himself was pondering something.

Wu Zong said that it was not Bai Zunyue who greeted Ye Yuwu, but Xiao Yulan who was also in the car. Bai Zunyue only said one sentence and then let Ye Yuwu leave.

He simply couldn't understand what Xiao Yulan had to do with this!

Xiao Yulan also returned to the capital from his fiefdom this year. Because of his meritorious service in resisting foreign enemies, his father, the emperor, granted him permission to stay in Bianjing.

As for when he will return, it seems he will have to wait until Xiao Yulan completes his major life event in the capital before he can return to his fiefdom.

Logically speaking, Xiao Yulan should not have met Ye Yuwu before, but according to Wuzong's description, Xiao Yulan seems to have known her before.

When was it?

He had only recently returned to the capital and must have only heard about Ye Yuwu and Bai Zunyue from other people.

He and Bai Zunyue were good friends, and he probably disliked Ye Yuwu just as much as Bai Zunyue did.
