Seeing this, Zhou Yubai immediately asked: "Xuan Qi, what did you remember?"

Zhou Xuanqi's eyes trembled, and his face darkened again. He looked up at his father and spoke in a complicated tone.

"If I remember correctly, before that, Huangfuling's visit had just been rejected. And..."

"And what?" This time it was Chu Huanyan who asked.

"Moreover, in fact, maybe a few years ago, Ting'er had the idea of ​​becoming an official, and she mentioned it to me once, but I blocked her."

When my father left the court, it was because he saw through the intrigues in the officialdom that he became disheartened and moved his family to Jinzhou.

He had never been interested in becoming an official, and he lived peacefully and down-to-earth in Jinzhou. Coupled with his father's teachings, he did not agree with becoming an official.

When Ting'er proposed to take part in the imperial examination, he stopped him without thinking too much. How can officialdom be so easy? Moreover, the Zhou family has been away from the court for many years and has lost its foundation. It cannot give Ting'er any help at all.

But after he stopped him, Ting'er didn't say much, and later he didn't mention it again. He thought the other party was just acting on a whim. Could it be that...

Just because she had no support, Ting'er actually abandoned Tianyi Kingdom and went to Danyue's court through Huangfu Mausoleum?

The more he thought about Zhou Xuanqi, the more panic he felt in his heart, and his whole expression showed full of panic.

Zhou Yubai couldn't help but sigh when he saw his son's appearance.

The words came to his lips, but he finally stopped. He just comforted Zhou Xuanqi with a few words and asked him to take a look in Zhou Muting's room to see if he could find any relevant clues.

Zhou Xuanqi left the lobby without hesitation and went to Zhou Muting's room.

Chu Huanyan continued to stay in the lobby. After confirming that Zhou Xuanqi had gone far, she asked Zhou Yubai, "Did my grandfather deliberately drive away my uncle?"

Zhou Yubai sighed and nodded, looking as if he had aged several years instantly.

"Huanyan, you should have noticed that your uncle is not stable when facing big events."

Although this son is over forty years old, once Keren's way of doing things and his temperament are set, it is really difficult to change.

It was also his fault. In fact, he had always known that his son had an impatient personality and had difficulty keeping calm when things happened. He had also given him some advice, but it had no effect, so he simply gave up on it later.

But when encountering this incident today, Xuan Qi's character shortcomings were suddenly exposed again, and Huanyan, a junior, could not keep his composure.

"After all, it concerns my cousin, and caring about him will lead to chaos." Chu Huanyan said softly.

Zhou Yubai shook his head, "Grandpa knows that you don't want to talk about your elders, but I know your uncle's character best. It is really impossible to expect him to solve this matter. Therefore, Grandpa will put his words here first, regardless of You can make your own decision about what happens next, without having to take your uncle into consideration."

Chu Huanyan was silent for a moment and asked Zhou Yubai: "Grandpa, do you think based on your understanding of your cousin, is it possible that he has really defected to Danyue?"

In fact, even if you are a citizen of Tianyi Kingdom and go to Danyue Kingdom to serve as an official, it is not a serious crime. At most, you will be talked about a few times.

But this matter is different for the Zhou family. After all, the relationship between him and the Zhou family lies here. And at this juncture, once the relations between several countries change, war may follow.

In this case, if someone really wants to make a fuss about it, they can even label the Zhou family as treasonous.

Zhou Yubai frowned and said, "Huanyan, to be honest, my grandfather is not sure."

Mu Ting, a child who has been gentle and observant since he was a child, has never done anything out of the ordinary. Perhaps it is because of this personality that he likes to keep some things in his heart. Not to mention his grandfather, I am afraid that even Xuan Qi may not be able to do anything out of the ordinary. Being able to figure out exactly what he was thinking.

Seeing Zhou Yubai's solemn expression, Chu Huanyan did not ask any more questions, but just reassured: "It's useless to think too much, let's take a look at what's going to happen next."

Zhou Yubai took a deep look at Chu Huanyan, and then nodded slowly.

The lunch dishes were rich, but after this incident, everyone lost their appetite.

After using it casually, Chu Huanyan returned to the room and asked Xian Yue to find Yun Chen and Shen Chi.

"Queen, this is a big deal, you can tell us so confidently?" Shen Chi sat at the table, his tone a bit carefree, but his expression was also solemn.

"This matter cannot be hidden, not to mention that I trust you." Chu Huanyan paused, "Although Huangfuling Mausoleum has promised to bring Zhou Muting here, the specific time has not been determined yet. Before that, I plan to Send a message back to the imperial city and tell Xiao Jinzhi about this. Just..."

Chu Huanyan paused for a moment, worry filling her eyebrows.

"Are you worried that once this matter gets bigger, the Zhou family will be implicated, Lian Xiao..." Yun Chen paused and changed his words, "Even the emperor may not be able to save the Zhou family?"

"No." Chu Huanyan shook her head, "I was wondering what kind of trouble would happen over there in Beimo."

With this news coming back to the imperial city, Xiao Jinzhi might not be able to cope with it.

Since Dan Yue has put so much effort into Tianyi's country, what about Bei Mo?

Sometimes, the threats that surface are far less worrying than those that are still hidden in the undercurrent.

"Miss, why don't you send someone to Beimo to check?" Xian Yue said.

Chu Huanyan shook her head, "Under the current circumstances, if we rashly send people to Bei Mo to inquire, once the information is discovered, it will make Bei Mo wary of God's will."

But if we just wait for the news to come out from Bei Mo, I'm afraid it will be too late.

"What if there is someone in Bei Mo who is willing to help us." Yun Chen looked at Chu Huanyan's worried look and said, "I can go to Bei Mo and try to contact Feng Sixi."

Hearing Yunchen's words, Shen Chi immediately turned to look at him subconsciously, obviously a little surprised.

Chu Huanyan also looked at Yun Chen and said nothing for a while.

She would be relieved if Yun Chen went to Beimo, and if Feng Sixi really knew their interests, they might not be unable to form an alliance.

However, after all, we are in the capital of another country. If something unexpected happens...

"Except for Feng Sixi, few people in Beimo know my identity. This matter is suitable for me to do."

Yun Chen spoke calmly and looked at Chu Huanyan and promised.

"You can rest assured that I will not take risks. If I encounter a critical situation, I will put my own safety first. And with my martial arts, it should not be difficult to escape unscathed."
