The prince spared his life! The lady has been reborn to save you

The woman was wearing a coral red cape embroidered with black phoenixes and kingfishers. She stood in the courtyard facing the wind. She was bright and charming, and her appearance was brilliant and splendid.

Dong Yanwan stood up and saluted.

In the past, the three of them would not be so polite to each other, but Zuo Suiyan would be moving into the East Palace soon, so they had to be cautious.

Chu Yizhao had a subtle expression, standing still without moving. Zuo Suiyan's eyes dodged for a moment, then quickly disappeared. A smile appeared on his face, and he stepped forward to hold Chu Yizhao's arm.

"Amin is feeling better now."

Chu Yizhao dodged her hand calmly and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine now."

The alienated and unfamiliar attitude not only changed Zuo Suiyan's expression, but Dong Yanwan also sensed something was wrong. She slowly raised her buttocks before she completely sat down on the chair.

"Sister Yan, Ah Ming, you guys chat slowly, I...I'll take my leave first..."

Chu Yizhao saw that she was uncomfortable, so he didn't force her to stay. He turned around and went into the inner room to get a box and handed it to Dong Yanwan.

"I am ill and cannot afford a drink. I will not attend Chengyou's first birthday party. This is just a small gift. Please forgive me."

Dong Chengyou is the eldest son of Dong Yanwan's elder brother, and the one-year-old ceremony will be held in ten days. Dong Yanwan came today, not only to visit her illness, but also to invite her to attend the ceremony.

The banquet was lively and there were many people talking and chatting. If she went, she would become a famous monkey for people to watch.

Chu Yizhao didn't want to go.

Dong Yanwan understood her concerns and did not force her. She accepted the brocade box and left.

After she left, it was as if she took away the last sound in the house. Zuo Suiyan sat in silence, with white steam floating from the hot tea beside her.

Chu Yizhao took out a piece of paper, pressed it on the table, and gently pushed it towards the woman opposite.

"There was a fire at Furongxiufang three days ago, burning down three embroidery frames, more than ten pieces of embroidery, five sets of maids' clothes and outer robes, several tables, chairs and gauze curtains, and a total of six hundred taels of silver."

She paused, her playful voice carrying a hint of coldness.

"Miss Zuo"

“Pay it.”

As soon as the words fell, the body of the woman opposite stiffened visibly. She raised her head, and her bright eyes were as dim as dark clouds covering the sun.

"I'm sorry, I had no choice..."

Forced?

"If you have no other choice, can you burn down the embroidery room?" Chu Yizhao sneered, "All the treasures in the embroidery workshop are in that room. If it's not repaired in time, what do you want me to give to those ladies?"

"Zuo Suiyan, you have made me the target of public criticism for your own selfish desires."

"Is this what you have to do?"

The sudden and sudden accusations fell into Zuo Suiyan's ears, and his eyes became scattered, staring into the void without focus.

It looks like a doll covered with bright red glaze.

Flowers bloom and fade in just a few days.

After a moment's silence, she focused her attention on Chu Yizhao and took out a brocade bag from her arms. The material was Shu brocade, and the red rope was loosened, revealing a roll of silver bills.

They were piled up on the table, and a quick glance revealed that there were as much as 40,000 taels.

Chu Yizhao's voice was cold, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a faint tremor in it.

"Take money to humiliate me?"

Zuo Suiyan shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I am sorry for what happened to the embroidery workshop. I will bear all the losses of the embroidery workshop. If there are victims who cause trouble, I will personally go and apologize."

Chu Yizhao said nothing and looked at her leisurely.

Even the ending was thought out clearly, this is a fire that was fully prepared.

Zuo Suiyan often went to the embroidery workshop to look for her, and asked her every three to five days, his eagerness arousing suspicion.

Otherwise, some people are born to be officials.

——Zhang Yanqiu

Suspicion and intuition made him cautious.

On the night of the fire, the arsonist was pinned down against the wall.

It was not someone else but a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

There is no need for clever people to play dumb. Chu Yizhao asked directly,

"Did you know that the Queen came to see me?"

The topic changed so quickly that Zuo Suiyan was stunned. A complex expression flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said, "I know."

"You are so eager to find me, why don't you ask the Queen where I am?"

Zuo Suiyan pursed her lips and said, "I know, but I don't dare to go in either."

Who dares to compete with the Prince of Yue for the doctor...

"... "

She mobilized so many troops, but Chu Yizhao thought she didn't know...

Chu Yizhao was so angry that he laughed, "You don't dare to come in, so you set fire to force me out?"

"Now that you have met the person, how do you want to persuade me?"

"If I don't become Wei Yu's concubine, will I lose my head the next moment?"

"No!" Zuo Suiyan retorted, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Ah Ming, you are my best friend, the prince is my husband, and the queen has allowed you and me to share the same husband. How can I not feel pain from such humiliation..."

The woman's voice was desperate and sad, and at the end, she broke down and cried.

Chu Yizhao: “…”

I should be the one crying...

"A-Ming, you have no idea...wuwu...no idea...how scary she is...wuwuwuwu"

Zuo Suiyan fell on the table and cried bitterly, with tears and snot all over her face. She didn't look like a beauty at all. Chu Yizhao frowned and silently moved the banknotes in front of her back.

"A Ming... She doesn't care who is in Wei Yu's backyard at all. She wants to win over all the good women in the world..."

"Bred pig"

The two cold words interrupted Zuo Suiyan's crying. A mouthful of snot got stuck in his throat, making him choke and panic.

Zuo Suiyan stole a glance at the cold woman and stood up weakly.

"That's not the way it should be..."

The tea temperature gradually cooled. Zuo Suiyan's throat was hoarse from crying. She took a sip of the water and looked at Chu Yizhao's cold face. The words in her mouth turned into a sigh.

"Ah Ming... Shoukang Palace knows what the Empress Dowager meant. The Empress Dowager has contacted me..."

She paused, "Even if the Queen Mother didn't look for me, given our relationship, I would never treat you harshly. Although the position of concubine is a concubine, it can be recorded in the royal jade record. One day, you will be a proper imperial concubine, and I..."

Chu Yizhao didn't want to listen anymore, so he raised his hand to stop her. She was just talking about the same old shit.

Now that she has Wei Xingli protecting her, she is not afraid of anyone.

Chu Yizhao had a mysterious admiration and trust for Wei Xingli. Perhaps it was the trauma left on her by the way this man cut heads like cutting melons in her previous life. She always felt that there was no one in the world more terrifying and powerful than him.

"There is no need to talk about this anymore. My marriage will be arranged by someone else."

"The Shen family can't make the decision..."

There seemed to be a layer of frost beneath the plain words.

Zuo Suiyan was so cold that he felt the tea he had just swallowed was chilled.

The banknotes on the table were picked up one by one, rolled up and stuffed into sleeves. Chu Yizhao said as he rolled them up:

"I have something I would like to ask you for help"

Zuo Suiyan was watching her roll up the banknotes at a loss. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he said with some anticipation,

"You said that if you can help, you will never refuse."

The burned items have a price, but the damaged friendship cannot be measured by gold, silver or treasures. The fact that Chu Yizhao made a request means that he still regards her as a friend.

"It's not a particularly difficult thing." Chu Yizhao smiled, his two rows of white teeth shining brightly.

"After the Hundred Flowers Banquet, things got really bad between me and my family. Although the elders were at fault, I was not without fault either."

Zuo Suiyan frowned. The reputation of Quyang Hou for being a fool had spread throughout the court. How could Chu Yizhao...

She asked tentatively, "You want to give a gift?"

"In my father's study..."

“That’s not what I meant.”

Chu Yizhao said in a low voice, "I heard that General Xuanwu's only daughter has reached the age of aging and wants to return to the capital to throw a ball?"

Zuo Suiyan was surprised, "You are well-informed."

She nodded and said, "I just learned about this yesterday. Miss Zhang grew up in the border area. She has a strong character and strong opinions. She doesn't like to be taught by complicated rules."

"When the age comes, they will ask for a wedding to choose a son-in-law."

"I will be entering Beijing soon."

Chu Yizhao smiled when he heard this. His cheeks twitched and he tried to suppress the corners of his mouth. "Such a wonderful woman is a perfect match for my eldest brother."
