After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"What's wrong?" Chu Huanyan noticed something was wrong with Xiao Jinzhi.

"There seems to be someone." Xiao Jinzhi looked at the tall building. Although there was a lot of distance between them, his intuition told him that there seemed to be a prying eye there.

Chu Huanyan followed Xiao Jinzhi's gaze and found nothing, but she immediately thought of Yun Chen's previous reminder.

"Could it be the person who was outside the Hou Mansion before?"

"It's possible." Xiao Jinzhi said softly, slowly looking away from the tall building.

"Do you want Qin Li to take a look?" Chu Huanyan asked.

"Forget it. If it's really the person Yun Chen said, even if Qin Li goes there, he may not be able to catch him. Besides, maybe I'm wrong."

Even if there is really someone on that high-rise building, the identity and purpose of the person are unknown now, and Yan Yan is still around, it is better to go back to the palace first to avoid any accidents.

After the carriage left the post house and on the way back to the palace, Zhu Huanyan briefly talked to Xiao Jinzhi about the conversation he had just had with Feng Sixi.

"After learning that the boatman fell into our hands, Feng Sixi should have been shaken, and also said that he would contact Feng Liyun as soon as possible. But..." Chu Huanyan did not finish her words, and there was a slight hesitation in her expression.

"Are you worried that our involvement in this matter may eventually affect the relationship between the two countries?" Xiao Jinzhi held Chu Huanyan's waist and said with a smile.

The latter was silent for a while and shook his head, "It's not because of this."

The peace between the two countries has been maintained for too many years. Even if Feng Liyun ascends the throne, there is a high probability that he will not go to war because of his own selfishness or personal grudges.

What really affects the relationship between the two countries is their interests and territory. If there is a conflict on this point, or a strong enough temptation, then even if they have nothing to do with this matter from beginning to end, they may not be able to guarantee the relationship between the two countries. as usual.

Xiao Jinzhi looked sideways at Chu Huanyan, "Is that because... Dan Yue?"

Chu Huanyan's breathing slowed down a little and she nodded lightly, "I always feel that the next thing may become more complicated."

After all, the situation in Danyue and Beimo is different. It seems that they are here to congratulate them, but in fact, only the Danyue people know best what their intentions are.

Another point……

According to what he saw during his coma, Danyue Kingdom did not send any envoys after Xiao Jinzhi ascended the throne in his previous life. It seems that Bei Mo only sent people to deliver letters of credence and congratulatory gifts. Neither Feng Sixi nor Feng Yanmo were among the envoys.

So, was it because of the truth revealed to the world and Emperor Xiao committing suicide in public? Because these changed the situation in this life, both countries sent envoys here?

If this is the case, what changes will occur to the relations between several countries in the future?

Chu Huanyan was filled with doubts and worries, and she couldn't help but frown.

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan quietly, and the next moment, he reached out and gently brushed her eyebrows, leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Yan Yan, don't worry so much. No matter what happens, as long as you and I can face it together, there is nothing to be afraid of."

I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but it seems that since she ascended the throne, Yan Yan's worries have become increasingly intense. She seems to be subconsciously worrying about uncertain things.

"Yanyan." Xiao Jinzhi called Chu Huanyan seriously.

The latter raised his head and met Xiao Jinzhi's gaze. Before she could speak, Xiao Jinzhi said again.

"The future is always uncertain, isn't it?"

Chu Huanyan's heart skipped a beat and she was suddenly stunned.

In the past, because I was reborn, I had a more or less understanding of what might happen next.

And since the truth was revealed, Emperor Xiao's life and death, and Xiao Jinzhi's ascension to the throne, everything has been different from the previous life, and it is no longer within the scope of her understanding.

Therefore, she subconsciously worried and thought about it, worrying that there would be unforeseen accidents.

But... Xiao Jinzhi was right, the future was inherently uncertain, and now she was just returning to the position of a normal person to face the unknown.

At this moment, Chu Huanyan's heart felt as if the wind suddenly stopped, the clouds cleared and the sun appeared, and she suddenly calmed down.

For her, the future is already unknown, but for others, is it not the same?

Even if something does happen, she and Xiao Jinzhi may not be able to solve it.

Breathing a long sigh of relief, Chu Huanyan looked at the person in front of her and finally smiled, "I was the one who got into trouble. You are right. No matter what happens, we can face it and solve it together."

As for the rest, sometimes overthinking is just asking for trouble.

……

After returning to the palace, Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi received a piece of news respectively.

An official from Honglu Temple reported that it was Danyue Kingdom, so they accelerated their journey. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to arrive outside the imperial city by tomorrow evening.

The news Chu Huanyan received was a letter, a letter sent back from the Zhou family.

Opening the envelope and looking at the signature and title, this letter was written by Zhou Xuanqi. In the letter, he first congratulated Chu Huanyan on her wedding, and then mentioned that Zhou Yubai had caught a cold half a month ago. He thought it was just a minor illness, but he didn't expect it. It is getting more serious and now it is lingering and sick. I hope Chu Huanyan can visit her if it is convenient.

Literally speaking, the letter was written in a polite and courteous way, including the words of hope that Chu Huanyan would return, and it did not show the slightest hint of forcefulness.

After all, from Zhou Xuanqi's point of view, although Chu Huanyan is his niece, she had already been unhappy before and had not contacted her for many years. Now, it is normal for her to be polite and distant in the letter.

The letter was handed over by Qin Li. After hearing what Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi said in the letter, Qin Li couldn't help but ask: "Mother, do you want to go back?"

The Danyue envoy will arrive tomorrow, and now is really not a good time to leave the imperial city at this juncture.

Moreover, the Zhou family is far away from the imperial city. If the empress wanted to go back, the emperor would definitely be worried and might even want to go with her.

But the enthronement has been delayed so much before, and now the emperor has just ascended the throne for the first time. If he wants to leave the imperial city again, those courtiers will definitely not agree. What's more, there are still envoys from the two countries here.

Chu Huanyan understood Qin Li's worries, but looking at the letter in her hand, she couldn't help but think of Zhou Yubai's appearance in the palace.

After all, I am already old, if something happens this time...

Seeing Chu Huanyan's tangled expression, Xiao Jinzhi said: "Yanyan, if you are worried..."

"You can't leave the imperial city." Chu Huanyan interrupted Xiao Jinzhi bluntly.
