At night, the crescent moon brought the news. Sure enough, Princess Rongchang had made an appointment to go to a temple outside the city to offer incense in three days.

"Miss, this makes sense. It seems that Jiang Zhou wants to take this opportunity to meet you quietly, Miss." Xian Yue loosened Chu Huanyan's bun and spoke.

Chu Huanyan walked to the bed and sat down, "You can ask someone to make arrangements. In three days, we will also go to burn incense outside the city."

"Yes." Crescent Moon responded.

Seeing Chu Huanyan lying down, Xianyue blew out the candle, and when he was about to exit, Chu Huanyan suddenly sat up again on the bed.

"Miss, is there anything else?"

"Xianyue, do you know which teahouse Jiang Zhou went to today?"

"I don't know this. I will ask you now."

"Call someone over immediately and bring over a map." Chu Huanyan got out of bed and put on her clothes again.

Seeing that his young lady looked serious, Xian Yue did not dare to neglect, and quickly prepared a map and called people in.

"Miss, this is the teahouse." The secret guard pointed to a location on the map and spoke.

"This teahouse is far enough away from Princess Rongchang's courtyard." Xian Yue said while looking at the map.

"That's right." The secret guard nodded, "Jiang Zhou walked all the way there, but after the teahouse, he went straight back to the princess mansion."

Chu Huanyan pointed around the teahouse, "If I remember correctly, there should be mansions around here."

"The lady is right, it is indeed a house. My subordinates have already checked it. One house is empty, while the other two are occupied by other people." The secret guard nodded and said.

"Go check the house and see who it belongs to. By the way, calculate how long it will take to get to those houses from the back door of the teahouse. But remember, it must be secret and must not be known to others." Chu Huanyan commanded.

"Yes." The secret guard quickly flew away and followed Chu Huanyan's instructions to investigate.

"Miss, do you think Jiang Zhou might have visited these houses?"

"He didn't leave the teahouse for a long time, so naturally he couldn't go far. And he probably didn't make a temporary decision to make an appointment with me after seeing the person we sent. He most likely had made up his mind before that. In that case, then you Why do you think he deliberately left the princess's mansion and disappeared for a while before this?"

Xian Yue thought seriously, "If he didn't conspire with others to meet in private, it might be that he had something to do before meeting the lady."

"That's right." Chu Huanyan nodded.

"But what could it be, and why did he disappear near the teahouse?" Xian Yue was confused.

"Then let's see what's around the teahouse." Chu Huanyan said softly.

That night, Chu Huanyan didn't sleep well.

At noon on the second day, the investigating secret guards came back with news that the empty house near the tea house was once the annex of Imperial Physician Chiang.

After receiving this news, Chu Huanyan's suspicions suddenly became more certain.

Perhaps before his death, Imperial Physician Jiang told Jiang Zhou what was hidden in the courtyard, so after Jiang Zhou decided to promise himself, he had to take the risk and go there.

And that might be the evidence that he and Xiao Jinzhi want.

"Miss, there is one more thing." The secret guard frowned, "When my subordinates were investigating the other courtyard, I felt like someone was secretly watching."

"What?" Chu Huanyan's expression suddenly changed.

Could it be that after all these years, there are still people guarding Imperial Physician Jiang’s other hospital?

"Are you sure?" Chu Huanyan looked at the secret guard and asked.

The latter shook his head, "I'm not sure, it's just a feeling. I checked carefully and didn't find anything wrong. But just in case, I'm not too close to the other courtyard, even if it's secretly If someone is really watching, he probably hasn’t noticed his subordinates. It’s just..."

"It's just that if someone is really keeping an eye on that house, and Jiang Zhou really goes to that house..." Chu Huanyan slowly exhaled, "I'm afraid he has been exposed."

"Miss, what should we do now?" Xian Yue suddenly became nervous.

Chu Huanyan thought for a while, "Since we haven't determined yet, don't mess up the situation. First send someone to observe around the other courtyard to confirm whether anyone is really watching. At the same time, we will go to the original residence of Imperial Physician Jiang to have a look. Let’s see if someone is watching us too.”

After so many years, Emperor Xiao also killed Imperial Physician Chiang to silence him. If there are still people keeping an eye on Imperial Physician Chiang's house and other courtyards... it can only be said that Emperor Xiao's level of caution is beyond imagination.

In other words, even if he killed Imperial Physician Jiang, Emperor Xiao was still suspicious of what evidence was left behind. If this is the case, then Jiang Zhou’s identity and whereabouts may no longer be concealed!

Three days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, tomorrow was the day Jiang Zhou had agreed to.

But in the past few days, the secret guards had made tentative investigations, but found no problems. Whether it was the other courtyard or the Jiang family's original house, everything was normal, as if it was all an illusion before.

"Miss, the carriage is ready." Xianyue entered the room and reported to Chu Huanyan.

"I know." Chu Huanyan put down the comb in her hand, and after a moment of silence, she stood up and walked towards the door.

According to the agreed time, Princess Rongchang should be almost leaving now.

It's a good time to leave the city now.

Get on the carriage and go all the way out of the city to the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the imperial city.

The temple on this mountain is quite efficacious, and many people offer incense all year round, especially in the first month.

After getting off the carriage, Chu Huanyan saw that many carriages had stopped at the foot of the mountain, and many people began to walk up the mountain along the steps.

After searching for a moment, Chu Huanyan soon saw the carriage of the Princess Mansion.

Princess Rongchang's carriage is as ostentatious as her temperament. Not only is it much larger than ordinary carriages, but it also has gold-inlaid decorations on the edges, making it easy to spot in a carriage shop.

"Your Highness, we meet again." Seeing Princess Rongchang stepping off the carriage, Chu Huanyan stepped forward and saluted.

"Miss Chu, are you here to offer incense?" Princess Rongchang raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Huanyan, her attitude a little gentler than before.

After all, there was no grudge between her and Chu Huanyan, it was just because of Lin Zeyuan. Now that Lin Zeyuan is dead, Princess Rongchang naturally doesn't bother to cause trouble to Chu Huanyan anymore.

"Yes." Chu Huanyan nodded with a smile, her eyes moving calmly across Jiang Zhou who followed Princess Rongchang out of the carriage, "If the princess doesn't mind, why don't we go with him for a while?"

Princess Rongchang looked at Chu Huanyan, but she didn't expect that the other party would invite her to accompany her.

"Ms. Chu, could she be thinking about what happened before, so she set a trap for this princess?"
