"Why did she want to vent her anger on me? Didn't I already tell her that the news might not be true? And to show my goodwill, I even came here in person. If the trip was in vain, I was also wasting my time. .”

Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows lazily, remembering what Princess Rongchang had said before, and spoke with a smile.

"What's more, why did the false news appear? But she reasoned it out step by step. Since she has found the source, why should she blame me? If she is to blame, it can only be blamed on her poor reputation in this imperial city, so someone I just want to stumble her on purpose."

If this reason were spoken from her own mouth, Princess Rongchang might not be able to fully believe it, but now that it is her own analysis and speculation, it is naturally easier to believe it.

So Princess Rongchang has nothing to worry about. The biggest problem now is still Jiang Zhou's whereabouts. The longer the delay, the greater the danger Jiang Zhou will be in.

But... in fact, even if she found Jiang Zhou first, she might not be able to protect him. After all, even she herself has now begun to be suspected by Emperor Xiao.

Chu Huanyan took a deep breath, the smile on her face faded, and she looked out the car window, her mind heavy with thoughts.

As the carriage passed through Suzaku Street, a gust of wind blew into the carriage through the open window, bringing with it a bit of spring chill.

Just when Chu Huanyan was about to reach out and lower the curtain of the car window, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

That is……

Chu Huanyan was stunned. The man wearing a black curtain hat looked very similar to Jiang Zhou.

Just when she was wondering if there was a resemblance between people, another gust of wind blew up, lifting most of the curtain, revealing Jiang Zhou's face inside.

It's really him!

Chu Huanyan quickly wanted to stop the carriage, but at this moment, she suddenly discovered that there were two people dressed in coarse gray clothes behind Jiang Zhou, slowly approaching him, but Jiang Zhou was obviously not aware of this.

Those two people were definitely not sent by him. Jiang Zhou was being targeted.

Chu Huanyan frowned and must remind Jiang Zhou to help him get rid of those two people.

But there may not be anyone else following him secretly. If he came forward, depending on Emperor Xiao's level of suspicion, he might not be able to hide it at all.

After hesitating for a moment, seeing the two people getting closer and closer to Jiang Zhou, Chu Huanyan opened the curtain, got out of the carriage, and whispered a few instructions to the driver.

The next moment, the horses neighed and suddenly charged forward.

The movement suddenly attracted the attention of many people, including the two people who were following Jiang Zhou. Jiang Zhou was also attracted to turn around, and immediately realized something was wrong, and immediately got into the teahouse next to him.

By the time the two men reacted and chased them in, Jiang Zhou had already quickly escaped through the back door of the teahouse.

In the alley, Jiang Zhou panicked and ran desperately. Just when he couldn't tell the direction, he was suddenly pulled by someone.

He subconsciously wanted to get rid of the other party, but when he saw Chu Huanyan, he was suddenly startled.

"you……"

"Don't say so much, leave first." Chu Huanyan led Jiang Zhou all the way to an empty courtyard.

After standing in the courtyard and listening intently for a while, Jiang Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chu Huanyan in front of him when he didn't hear the sound of anyone chasing him.

"Why are you here?"

"Why do you think the horse suddenly rushed into action to attract other people's attention?"

"It's you..." Jiang Zhou was a little surprised, "Thank you very much."

"There is no need to say so much. Your whereabouts have been exposed in the imperial city, and many people will be searching for you. Now that this situation can no longer be hidden, you might as well return to Princess Rongchang's Mansion first. after that……"

"No!" Jiang Zhou interrupted Chu Huanyan without hesitation, "I can't go back."

"Why?" Chu Huanyan looked at him, "Are you worried that you will implicate Princess Rongchang, or are you suspicious that she may not protect you?"

"Both." Jiang Zhou pursed his lips, "Things have become like this. Now if I show up, I will definitely die. Even Princess Rongchang cannot protect me."

Apart from the emperor, he couldn't think of anyone else who wanted to kill him and could send so many people to chase him.

He has been hiding in Tibet these days, and he has thought clearly that neither Chu Huanyan nor the prince can defeat the emperor. If you hide yourself, you may still have a chance of survival, but once you show up, it will definitely be a dead end.

"In that case, why are you coming back?" Chu Huanyan looked at Jiang Zhou. Although he didn't know how Jiang Zhou came here these days, he looked very embarrassed.

If he really just wanted to hide, he should flee as far away from the imperial city as possible.

Jiang Zhou looked at Chu Huanyan silently, and then said after a while: "I'll come back to you. I lost my money when I ran away. I'm penniless and can't go anywhere. And in this situation, I can't go anywhere alone." I can't escape for long on my own, so I need to be entangled and I need a false identity. And... I hope you and Princess Rongchang will stop looking for me."

"I asked Princess Rongchang to look for you together just to gain more strength and to cover up others' eyes. But looking at her today, it seems that her patience is about to run out, and she will give up soon. The fake identity thing It’s not difficult, but where is the evidence in your hand?”

Did Jiang Zhou venture back to the imperial city just to ask for a false identity and money from him, or was there something else that made him have to come back?

Chu Huanyan's eyes were clear and penetrating, which made Jiang Zhou feel very uncomfortable and he subconsciously avoided her gaze.

"Jiang Zhou, you should understand that it is absolutely impossible for Emperor Xiao to let go now. Even if you hand the evidence into his hands, he will definitely kill people and silence them, and avoid future troubles. Therefore, the evidence in your hands can only be with me. It can be used as a bargaining chip in front of you, and you cannot use it to exchange for a chance of survival with Emperor Xiao."

She believed that Jiang Zhou should be able to figure this out. However, people were most afraid of being confused for a while. Under extreme pressure and fear, it was easy to make wrong decisions, so she had to remind Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou looked at Chu Huanyan again, "If I don't hand over the evidence to you, will you stop helping me?"

After saying that, Jiang Zhou suddenly laughed again. What is his problem? The man-made thing in front of him is the evidence. If he doesn't give her the evidence, let alone help him, I'm afraid she will immediately attack him and force him...

"I can help you." Chu Huanyan said.

Jiang Zhou was stunned for a moment, somewhat doubting that he heard wrongly, and looked at Chu Huanyan in surprise.

The latter met Jiang Zhou's gaze and spoke again: "I will ask people to deal with the fake identity matter as soon as possible, and you don't have to worry about it. But before that, you have to hide it yourself and don't show up easily again. "

Jiang Zhou frowned and said, "I'm not joking. I don't intend to give you the evidence. I..."

"I understand that the evidence is now the only bargaining chip in your hand. If you plan well, you may not be able to use that evidence as your life-saving talisman. For example, let Emperor Xiao understand that once you die, the evidence will be made known to the world." Chu Huanyan sighed slowly, "Although it is difficult, since you have decided, you can give it a try."

"Then why are you still helping me?" Jiang Zhou asked puzzledly.
