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

In the end, Chu Huanyan agreed to Yun Chen's proposal.

In the backyard of the Zhou family, Shen Chi turned his head from time to time to look at Yun Chen who was walking beside him.

"Just say what you want to say." Yun Chen stopped, met Shen Chi's eyes and spoke.

The latter was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "I thought you would not do anything else except protect the Queen."

After all, after being together for so long, he knew what Yun Chen was thinking. Although the Queen and the Emperor were already married and Yun Chen seemed to have given up, he could see clearly that the other party had not completely given up in his heart.

Perhaps for Yun Chen, he has become accustomed to putting the Empress first in everything, but just now, he took the initiative to go to Beimo. In this way, there is no way to protect the Empress by her side.

"I just don't want her to worry about this matter." Yun Chen retracted his gaze and looked further away, "And under the current circumstances, there is really no one more suitable to go to Beimo than me."

Although there are many secret guards, it is not safe if they want to find out the information.

If more people are sent, they will be easily noticed. It would be more secretive than if he sneaks in quietly by himself.

"Then don't you worry that the Queen will stay here?" Shen Chi raised his eyebrows and stopped Yun Chen in time, "Don't say anything about these secret guards, so you don't have to worry. If you do this, you might be able to coax others. Okay, but just coax me."

If Yun Chen really trusted those secret guards, he wouldn't have accompanied them on the trek from the Imperial City to Jinzhou.

What's more, there is still a Huangfu Mausoleum.

"Although Huangfuling Mausoleum is in Jinzhou, his previous plans failed. He should not take action against the empress in the short term. Moreover, his focus now should be on making an issue of Zhou Muting. The young lady stays at Zhou's house. It is safe for the time being. . As for the future..."

Yun Chen suddenly fell silent and did not continue speaking.

Shen Chi asked curiously: "What happened next?"

Yunchen looked at the garden in front of him, and after a long time, he slowly spoke.

"If I guessed correctly, Xiao Jinzhi should be here soon."

Shen Chi was stunned for a moment, "After all, the emperor has just ascended the throne. There are so many things going on in the court, and he has no plans to come to Jinzhou this time. He shouldn't..."

"He will." Yun Chen interrupted Shen Chi and looked sideways at him, "As long as he knows that Huangfu Ling set up a trap and almost captured the young lady, he will definitely come."

He may not be as clear about court affairs and the stakes as Shen Chi and others, but he understands how much Xiao Jinzhi cares about the young lady.

Xiao Jinzhi, he will definitely come.

Shen Chi swallowed what he had not finished and looked at Yun Chen silently. After a moment, he reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Actually, you think more clearly than anyone else. After this time, just let it go."

……

On the other side, Zhou Xuanqi stayed in Zhou Muting's room for almost the whole afternoon, looking through all the books he had read and all the notes he had written.

When it was dinner time, at the dinner table, he told a piece of news with a stiff expression.

Participating in the imperial examination and becoming an official in the court has actually been Zhou Muting's wish for many years.

"As a father, I have neglected my duty. Since I have no interest in becoming an official, I have always felt that this is not a good thing. Even in front of Ting'er, I often said that I should not become an official. But I never thought about it. , the more I spoke, the greater the pressure on Ting'er became, and the more she stopped speaking out what was in her heart."

Although Zhou Xuanqi was sitting at the table, his whole figure seemed to be shaking a little.

He always felt that he raised Ting'er with care, fulfilled his duties and was a good father, but he never thought that under his own guidance, Ting'er would no longer even want to tell the truth to him.

Seeing his son's appearance, Zhou Yubai felt equally solemn, but he still tried to persuade him: "You can't be blamed for this matter, as a father is also responsible. My father hates fighting in the court, which affects you and Ting'er. "

Chu Huanyan sat at the table and flipped through the pages of the letters that Zhou Xuanqi had brought over.

It clearly states Zhou Muting's entanglements and struggles over the years.

He aspired to become an official, but both his father and grandfather were very disgusted with becoming an official, so he endured it and never spoke.

But as he grew older and saw his former classmates all going to the imperial city to take part in the imperial examination, and some of them were named on the gold medal list, he became more and more eager.

It can even be said that Zhou Muting's stubbornness and obsession with showing off his talents in the court, and even becoming a prince and prime minister are revealed in the letters.

But this manuscript came to an abrupt end one day two years ago.

Perhaps, Huangfu Mausoleum had given him a new possibility at that time.

Closing the note, Chu Huanyan frowned deeply, "Why can't you just say it?"

When parents' expectations run counter to their children's wishes, is it really so unspeakable?

If Zhou Muting had tried his best to fight and complained, but was still denied and rejected, perhaps his current behavior could still be understood.

But looking at the current situation, Zhou Muting has not mentioned it again except for mentioning it once. I would rather struggle and struggle and stay awake at night, but I still don't want to fully express what I'm thinking. Just like this, until the depression built up high and completely broke, and then it was like being carried away and made a particularly confused decision?

"Yes, why can't you just say it?" Zhou Xuanqi said with a bitter tone, looking at his father and said, "Father, I want to see Huangfu Mausoleum."

Zhou Yubai understood clearly, "You want to know what Huangfuling said to Ting'er."

"Yes." Zhou Xuanqi nodded, "Father, even if Ting'er really wants to become an official, my son still wants to find out what role Huangfu Mausoleum played in the process."

He wanted to see the other party and ask him thoroughly. Even if the other party would not tell the truth or even tell him nothing, he wanted to take this trip. However, Huangfu Ling had a special status after all, and he did not know that he was now where...

"I'll have someone go check it out," Chu Huanyan said.

Seeing Zhou Xuanqi turn to look at her, Chu Huanyan continued: "Huangfu's mausoleum should still be in Jinzhou City now. It is not difficult to find out his whereabouts. I will tell my uncle after I find out."

"Huanyan..." Zhou Xuanqi looked at Chu Huanyan guiltily, "If these things..."

"Uncle, there's no need to say more. When something happens, we can solve it together."

Although he had nothing to do with Xiao Jinzhi two years ago, it was impossible for Huangfuling to start setting up a trap from that time.

Therefore, when he came into contact with Zhou Muting at that time, he probably never expected today. But now that Huangfuling is making a fuss about this matter, there must be its own factors.

Huangfu Mausoleum obviously did not conceal his whereabouts on purpose, so the information was checked quickly.

In the afternoon of the second day, Zhou Xuanqi set out for the house where Huangfu Mausoleum stayed, while Chu Huanyan secretly followed behind...
