In the following days, the streets and alleys of the capital were filled with the laughter of Bai Chenfeng and Yang Wushuang.

The early morning sun shone on the stone roads of the capital. Bai Chenfeng arrived at Yang Wushuang's residence early, picked her up and started a day of fun.

They held hands and strolled through the bustling streets.

Street vendors were shouting, selling all kinds of novelty gadgets and delicious snacks.

There was a gleam of curiosity and joy in Yang Wushuang's eyes, and Bai Chenfeng looked at her lovingly, buying her little items she liked from time to time.

They came to a busy restaurant, sat by the window, and tasted the unique cuisine of the capital.

Bai Chenfeng carefully picked up dishes for Yang Wushuang and explained the origin and characteristics of each dish.

Yang Wushuang listened with great interest. The corners of her mouth were stained with food residues, and Bai Chenfeng gently wiped them away for her.

The two smiled at each other, and the air was filled with sweetness.

In the afternoon, they rented a carriage and headed to the suburbs.

The scenery in the suburbs is picturesque, with wild flowers blooming among the green mountains and clear waters, and butterflies dancing among the flowers.

Bai Chenfeng and Yang Wushuang strolled on the grass, feeling the caress of the breeze.

They came to a clear stream, squatted down, reached out to touch the cool water, and watched the fish in the water swimming happily.

"Chen Feng, it's so beautiful here." Yang Wushuang exclaimed, her face filled with a happy smile.

"As long as you like it, I will bring you here often in the future." Bai Chenfeng said gently.

They sat down by the stream. Bai Chenfeng took out a handkerchief from his arms, spread it on the ground, and then took out some cakes and fruits.

The two of them enjoyed the delicious food while admiring the beautiful scenery around them, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange and red.

Bai Chenfeng and Yang Wushuang sat in the carriage and slowly drove towards the capital.

Yang Wushuang leaned on Bai Chenfeng's shoulder, closed her eyes, and savored the beautiful moments of the day.

Bai Chenfeng hugged her gently, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Just as they were enjoying their sweet time, Prince Chen's Mansion received a letter from Donglinhai.

The moment Bai Qianqian received the letter, she immediately became excited.

Her hands trembled slightly as she opened the letter impatiently.

The handwriting in the letter was familiar and kind, and it was indeed written by Lou Yishuang.

Bai Qianqian read the letter carefully, with her facial expression changing constantly.

When she saw that Lou Yishuang asked her to help find and take care of Yang Wushuang, she nodded with satisfaction.

This is what friends do, supporting and helping each other.

However, when she saw that Lou Yishuang was going to marry Yang Wushuang to Hao Ren, she felt dissatisfied.

She immediately sat down at the desk, picked up a pen, and started writing quickly.

In the letter, she scolded Lou Yishuang unceremoniously, accusing her of ignoring Yang Wushuang's thoughts, deciding her marriage at will, and not marrying Yang Wushuang to a man worthy of her trust.

Then, she recounted in detail how Yang Wushuang met her after coming to the capital, as well as the relationship between Yang Wushuang and Bai Chenfeng.

She also mentioned that Bai Chenfeng's parents were very supportive of the two of them, and their words revealed their expectations for this marriage.

Finally, she warmly invited Lou Yishuang and his wife to return to the capital to discuss the marriage of their two children.

After writing the letter, Bai Qianqian checked it carefully and then handed it to Qingqing.

"Qingqing, use the channels of Prince Chen's Mansion to deliver this letter to Donglin Hailou Yishuang as soon as possible. Don't delay."

Qingqing took the letter and nodded, "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely deliver the letter as soon as possible."

After saying this, she left in a hurry.

Bai Qianqian stood in front of the window, looking into the distance, expecting a reply from Lou Yishuang.

She hoped that Lou Yishuang could understand her thoughts and agree to the marriage between Yang Wushuang and Bai Chenfeng.

After all, she sincerely hoped that Yang Wushuang could be happy.

Deep inside the imperial palace in the capital, there has been quite a stir in the court recently.

The emperor has always been highly vigilant about the movements of the princes, especially in the situation where the power struggle is becoming increasingly fierce.

Recently, the emperor, through his own informants and spies, discovered the shocking fact that the second prince was secretly having close contacts with several ministers.

What’s more crucial is that these ministers all have close ties with the Second Prince’s grandfather, Lord Wen.

They are either Mr. Wen's direct students or close friends of his students.

The existence of this network of relationships sounded a warning bell in the emperor's heart.

On a gloomy day, the emperor was furious and immediately ordered the second prince, Lord Wen and the five or six officials to be summoned to the imperial study.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was so depressing that it made people breathless. The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a livid face and anger in his eyes.

The second prince stood below trembling in fear, his small body shaking slightly, his eyes revealing fear and anxiety.

Lord Wen and other officials lowered their heads, not daring to meet the emperor's gaze.

The emperor began to rebuke them harshly, and his voice echoed in the imperial study like thunder.

"How dare you form a clique and engage in private activities right under my nose!"

The emperor's words pierced them like sharp arrows.

The second prince turned pale with fright. He had never seen his father so angry.

He wanted to explain himself, but under the emperor's majesty, he couldn't even utter a word.

The emperor continued to denounce: "I have always placed high hopes on you, hoping that you can serve the court loyally and work for the welfare of the people. But you are doing these little tricks behind my back. What on earth do you want to do?"

Lord Wen and other officials knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

They knew the emperor's temper very well, and any excuses at this time might make things worse.

The emperor did not soften his heart because of their pleas for mercy. He continued to sternly warn the second prince: "If you dare to form a clique for personal gain again, I will strip you of your status as a prince! You should know that without your status as a prince, you will have nothing. What can you use to compete with the crown prince?"

What's more, his mind has never changed.

The prince is the only heir.

When the second prince heard this, his heart was filled with fear and resentment.

Although he was only ten years old, having grown up in the complex environment of the palace, he had long understood the importance of power.

He was unwilling to lose the opportunity to compete with the prince, but at this moment he could only agree obediently.

"I know I was wrong, please calm down, father. I will reform myself and never make the same mistake again." The second prince said in a trembling voice.

The emperor looked at his pitiful appearance and his anger subsided a little.

He knew that the second prince was just a child after all, but he could not tolerate this kind of factional behavior spreading in the palace.

Finally, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
