Yue Yiyi felt sick in her heart. The hairpin was not enough, and he even tried to get her earrings. But looking at Lin Zeyuan and Yang, she still suppressed her anger and took off her earrings.

"I almost forgot about this. I'll buy these earrings as well."

"Yiyi, you are so kind." Lin Zeyuan held Yue Yiyi's hand emotionally and promised repeatedly, "Don't worry, as long as you get through this difficulty, I will buy you ten more hundred pairs in the future!"

"Okay." Yue Yiyi responded softly, but there was a feeling of disgust in her heart.

Having been in a brothel for so long, she has long understood that men who talk a lot but have no actual expressions cannot be trusted at all. Most of them are stingy and stingy, and they are just coaxing people with sweet words.

What's worse than this is that Lin Zeyuan is like this now, with no money and power, a bad debt on his head, and still thinking about coaxing others with sweet words!

Now I just hope that Lin Zeyuan really has the means and means to get to the crown prince, otherwise... she has paid so much, but it will be all over!

Although I got a hairpin and earrings, these are nothing more than a drop in the bucket for 20,000 taels.

Lin Zeyuan also thought about whether he could get back the 10,000 taels he sent since the crime of bribery was not established, but he also understood that this was a fantasy and it was impossible.

The next day, he hurriedly went to the Hanlin Academy to see if he could advance his salary, but was told that he had been expelled from the Hanlin Academy. In the end, he was kicked out of the Hanlin Academy directly.

When Chu Huanyan got the news, she had just read all the letters left by Marquis Ning'an.

But unfortunately, there is no record of the period before the accident, nor any information that looks like a clue.

"Have the gifts been delivered to the Queen's Palace?" Chu Huanyan put down the note.

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival will be coming soon, and there will be a Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in the palace, she has rarely been to the palace in recent years, and she has never participated in such a banquet.

If it continues like in previous years, she will naturally not be invited to this year's palace banquet.

"Go back to Miss, I have already given it to you." Xian Yue replied, "I just don't know if the Queen will allow you to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet after receiving the gift."

"If it's just that gift, it won't be enough."

"Miss, what do you mean?"

"Let someone prepare another gift and send it to the prince's house. Remember, although you don't have to make a big deal, you don't have to be secretive. Just say that I have an appointment with the prince to visit the lake tomorrow." Chu Huanyan ordered.

"Miss, do you want His Royal Highness to help clear things up?"

Chu Huanyan shook her head.

Although she didn't know much about the affairs in the palace in the past, she secretly sent people to inquire during this time. Although the queen was the biological mother of Xiao Jinzhi and Xiao Rongxuan, her attitudes towards the two sons were very different. same.

He treated Xiao Jinzhi very indulgently and let him do whatever he wanted. However, she was strict with Xiao Rongxuan and had a strict motherly demeanor.

Many people said that the queen and the emperor doted on the prince, but she felt that the queen cared more about Xiao Rongxuan.

And since Xiao Rongxuan had tested his relationship with Xiao Jinzhi before, he simply sent him to his door to make him suspicious. I just wonder if the Queen will help her youngest son if she learns this news...

Chu Huanyan gathered her thoughts and didn't say much. She just asked Xian Yue to do as she was told.

Before leaving, Xian Yue asked again how the Lin family would respond.

"Just keep an eye on them and don't let them escape. As for the rest..." Chu Huanyan sneered, "Whether it's chopping off hands or stamping on feet, it doesn't matter to us."

After all, under the emperor's feet, those who lend interest are not really that unruly. They just listened to the recent rumors and were worried that Lin Zeyuan would not be able to repay the money, so they came to threaten him in advance.

Of course, if you continue to delay and fail to pay the principal...

Then she could be prepared to reward Lin Zeyuan with three melons and two dates when he begs for food in the future!

……

Luoying Lake.

On the boat, Chu Huanyan's mood was completely different from before when she revisited her old place.

Last time, I didn't want to get involved with Xiao Jinzhi, but this time...

Chu Huanyan looked sideways at Xiao Jinzhi, who was standing at the bow of the boat and seemed to be in a good mood, "Isn't your highness angry?"

"Why are you angry?" Xiao Jinzhi said with a lazy smile.

"It's impossible for Your Highness not to be able to see what the purpose of my servant is."

If Xiao Jinzhi hadn't seen the box left by his parents, he might not have thought that he was using him.

But since he saw it and realized that the sachet was related to the palace, it was impossible not to guess what he was planning.

"So what." Xiao Jinzhi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Even if it is used, I will be happy to do so."

Chu Huanyan was stunned for a moment. With the person in front of her looking like this, it was really easy for people to believe her when she talked about love.

Not far away, Xian Yue, who was guarding the side of the boat, heard this conversation and couldn't help but frowned and muttered to himself, "It's so easy to talk."

"Our Highness is telling the truth." Qin Li, who appeared behind her at some point, suddenly spoke in a low voice.

Xianyue was startled, and hurriedly looked in the direction of Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi. Seeing that Xiao Jinzhi probably didn't hear them, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said to Qin Lida.

"I didn't mean to say anything bad about His Highness the Crown Prince. I just said it casually, and our young lady definitely didn't either..."

"Don't worry." Seeing Xian Yue in such a frightened state, Qin Li comforted him with a smile, "I won't tell His Highness."

Moreover, even if I tell His Highness, His Highness will not be angry.

After all, for the past two days, His Highness has been busy in the palace thinking about the reasons for asking Miss Chu to meet. Now that Miss Chu has come to the door by herself, it is too late for His Highness to be happy. We may blame him for one word.

"Really?" Xianyue was dubious.

"Of course, I can assure you that you will never fail to believe in my character."

Qin Li originally wanted to make a joke to lighten the atmosphere, but instead of getting the answer he expected, he met Xian Yue's hesitant gaze.

"No way, you really can't trust my character?" The smile on Qin Li's face froze.

Xian Yue pursed her lips and said, "No, in short, I hope that Guard Qin will not implicate this matter to my young lady."

After saying that, Xian Yue blessed her body seriously, lowered her head and stopped looking at Qin Li.

The latter's heart seemed to be blocked by something, which was called aggrieved.

Nothing, it's so obvious that I can't believe it. Could it be that he did something unintentionally and offended this little girl?

Qin Li's doubtful eyes stayed on Xian Yue's face, secretly thinking in his heart whether he should ask.

After all, His Highness likes Miss Chu, and Xian Yue is Miss Chu's personal maid. If there is any conflict, it is best to resolve it as soon as possible.

But Xianyue's cheeks were getting hotter and hotter as she was stared at like this.

This Qin guard is indeed a scoundrel!

While Qin Li was still lost in thought about what to say, Xian Yue finally couldn't help it anymore, raised her head and glared at Qin Li, then turned around and walked to the other side of the studio.

Qin Li was stunned.

Looking at it like this, I really didn’t know when I had offended someone so badly, but...

When Xian Yue blushed and glared at him just now, she was... so cute!
