The prince immediately said: "I noticed that Duke Ji Guo is so punctual every year when he comes to the imperial grandmother's place."

When Duke Ji and others heard this, they all turned around and saw that it was Chu Jinheng. They all greeted him and said, "I have met His Highness, the Crown Prince."

Chu Jinheng walked up to Duke Ji without looking away, and personally helped Duke Ji, "You don't need to be polite, Duke Ji. Speaking of which, you are also Jinheng's elder..."

How could Duke Ji dare to respond? Lian Dao didn't dare, saying that he was of noble status.

Chu Jinheng just said it casually. Although Ji Guogong and him were considered related to each other, in serious calculation, they were more than two or three levels away from each other.

Then he held a folding fan and pointed at Jiang Wanyin with some curiosity and asked, "I wonder who that is... I thought she was Princess Xuan just now, and I almost mistakenly recognized the person."

Duke Ji Guo followed the prince's gaze and saw Jiang Wanyin.

From the time he left the house in the morning to the time he entered the palace, he was always walking in front and did not notice Jiang Wanyin who was following behind.

When he saw what she was wearing, he frowned. After all, they were outside, so he didn't say anything to Jiang Wanyin.

At this time, Ji Xuan had a fight with the prince, "She is my prince's concubine. She said she wanted to see the world, so Wei Chen brought her here..."

The prince's expression changed when he heard this, and he changed the topic disapprovingly.

……

The setting sun dyed the sky in the west, and the sunset was brilliant. Sheng Yunzhao, wearing a veil, followed a tall, handsome young man, stepping on the beautiful ground in front of the royal garden.

Outside the gate of the royal garden, only the royal guards wearing armor, holding swords on their waists, and solemn faces stood at the door.

Seeing that the two of them were planning to march straight in without any scruples, they immediately shouted, "This is an important place in the royal garden, no one can get close to it!"

The young man calmly reached out and took out a bright yellow token from his arms.

The royal guard was stunned for a moment when he saw this, then he took it and inspected it carefully, then stepped aside and said, "Please!"

Sheng Yunzhao sighed secretly. It was indeed a royal place and it was not easy to sneak in.

Fortunately, she was prepared in advance and asked Cang Yi to go to the princess mansion with the incense she mixed and borrow the palace token from Princess Yunzhou.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get in, let alone think about anything else.

The two of them entered the royal garden smoothly. Sheng Yunzhao saw that there was no one around, she stopped and faced the young man, "Thank you, Cang Yi. Now go and return the token to Princess Yunzhou, and then go immediately His father reminded him of this.

You know, my father is quick-tempered and straight-tempered, so it’s up to you to remind him from time to time..."

Cang Yi was an orphan picked up by his father in the middle of winter ten years ago. He was about to die at that time.

After being rescued by his father, he adopted him at home. Seeing that he was smart and studious, his father not only hired a teacher to teach him how to read and understand, but also personally taught him martial arts.

Cang Yi, on the other hand, is born with a smooth and skillful attitude, an all-rounder, able to maneuver both sides, and is very good at making decisions.

But for such a person, for so many years, he was willing to take charge of affairs in the general's mansion and let his father do his bidding.

Although his father and he usually treat each other as master and disciple, they are more like father and son.

Over the years, his father has valued him more and more, and Cang Yi has often shared his worries. His sincerity moved her.

Sheng Yunzhao was five years younger than Cang Yi and regarded Cang Yi as a brother. No matter it was in his previous life or she asked him for anything, Cang Yi would do anything.

If it remains the same as in the previous life, Cang Yi will leave Chujing next winter and travel far away.

At this time, Cang Yi listened to her words and said with a warm and soothing smile on Qing Juan's face: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

A calm smile appeared on Sheng Yunzhao's face, and then he shook the stone box in his hand, "I told you, it's the order of the old lady of the Duke's Mansion."

Cang Yi just raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a leisurely tone, "Why do you have to use such a far-fetched reason to prevaricate me?

What important gift cannot be prepared in advance, and cannot be taken with you when entering the palace and wait until dark to enter alone?

You've come around in such a big circle, so it's okay to use this excuse to send the general away.But you had made preparations for today a few days ago. At this time, you didn't even take Yun Niang with you and came in alone.

And he sent me away without giving me a convincing reason, Zhao, do you think this is appropriate?

At night, the royal garden is full of colors and lights, even more beautiful than during the day.

However, the calmness on Sheng Yunzhao's face could not be maintained. She knew that it was not easy to fool Cang Yi in front of her.

She didn't take Yun Niang and others with her because she didn't have a bottom line today, and she didn't want them to be implicated by her.

And she didn't explain it to Cang Yi, and she didn't want to implicate him and his father.

Sheng Yunzhao looked a bit embarrassed, "If I don't go now, it will be too late, but I can't explain a sentence or two now..."

Cang Yi, if you want to know something, then go wait for me in my newly renovated spice shop tonight after you leave the palace, and I will definitely tell you everything, okay? "

God gave her a chance to be reborn, and she must protect her family and those who truly love her.

She could not predict her own luck tonight, so how could she possibly bring Cang Yi in?

The sound of strings of silk and bamboo was faintly heard in his ears. Under the cold and lonely light, Cang Yi suddenly realized that the elegant and self-possessed girl in his memory was now so much more that even he could not see through.

The excessive calmness on that beautiful face concealed all her emotions.

A gentle and conciliatory smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he raised his hand and put it on her thin shoulder lovingly, "Azhao, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must remember that there is still... General!"

Sheng Yunzhao's eyes were a little sour, but his heart felt warm. He smiled at Cang Yi and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll leave first."

After saying that, she seemed really anxious and walked away...

However, after taking a few steps, Sheng Yunzhao stopped. She turned around and returned to Cang Yi, looking up at Cang Yi, "Cang Yi, can I ask you one more thing?"

Cang Yi chuckled helplessly, "Why do we need to use the word begging between us?"

Sheng Yunzhao knew that Cang Yi would become suspicious after she finished speaking, but she still said it.

"Cang Yi, you are the person I trust the most. No matter what happens tonight, I beg you to keep an eye on my father and never act rashly!"

The warmth and gentleness on Cang Yi's face solidified...

However, Sheng Yunzhao turned around resolutely and walked towards the gathering place of guests in front with his back straight.

Cang Yi's eyes were uncertain for a moment, and he walked quickly towards another stone path...

But what he didn't know was that after his figure disappeared, Yue Chenyan walked out from behind a flower tree.
