The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Speaking of Zuo Hongwen, the eldest princess showed a rare little girl's expression on her face, and forgot to ask Gu Jinchu why he was dressed like that today.

"Chu...Have you seen Zuo Hongwen before? How do you know him?" Besides her mother, there was also Cui Guo beside Zhao Xuan, but there were some things in her heart that she couldn't tell them.

"My cousin is studying at the Imperial College and is a classmate of Zuo Hongwen. The last time we had a banquet at home, he went to the banquet." Gu Jinchu whispered in her ear in a very low voice.

Zhao Xuan sat on a stone pier in the flower hall, and Gu Jinchu stood behind her. The postures of the two seemed a little too intimate to others.

She raised her head, her face flushed unnaturally, her eyes watery, "I guess your cousin has a good relationship with him, do you know anything about his family situation?"

When Gu Jinchu heard this, the smile on her face deepened. She had originally planned to find a suitable opportunity to talk to the princess about Zuo Hongwen.

"Princess, you don't know how popular this Mr. Zuo is in the eyes of those ladies. Especially after learning that he was the seventh in the imperial examination and that he studied under a famous teacher, many ladies wanted to marry their daughters to him."

Zhao Xuan knew all that Chu Jieer said, and murmured in a low voice, "Yes, he is indeed good enough."

How could the person she likes be bad!

"A hero is not judged by his origin. Zuo Hongwen is both good-looking and knowledgeable, but I heard from my cousin that his family background is not particularly good." Gu Jinchu observed the eldest princess's expression and said from the side.

"Oh, so short-sighted. After the palace examination, people will know how outstanding he is. By then, there will be no chance for them to be picky." Zhao Xuan said with some disdain.

Thinking of Zuo Hongwen's humble look just now, he could obviously do better and stand higher for others to look up to him. How could he let his background confine him!

After hearing what the princess said, Gu Jinchu felt that it was time. "No matter how outstanding he is, what good can it do? I heard that Zuo Hongwen already has a wife at home."

"What?" Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Jinchu in surprise. She had clearly tried to test him more than once, but Zuo Hongwen said that he was not married!

"Lu Xiuhuai, the legitimate son of Commander Lu, is a classmate of my cousin and Zuo Hongwen. He likes to talk after drinking. The servants overheard this and said that Zuo Hongwen has already married in Jinan Prefecture."

Then he added more firewood and continued, "It's so far away, who can verify it? Maybe it's just Lu Xiuhuai's drunken talk, don't take it seriously!"

Gu Jinchu's words were mixed with truth. If the princess was interested in Zuo Hongwen, she would definitely know that he was from Jinan Prefecture. Her relationship with Lu Xiuhuai and Gu Jinhui would be revealed with a simple check.

How could her mother not notice her daughter's love-struck look?

By then, it was only a matter of time before Concubine Shu became curious about Zuo Hongwen and investigated his background. It didn't matter whether he was married or not. What was important was his background and his intentions.

If the princess could see through his intentions, the emotional crisis would be largely resolved.

This was better than her revealing Zuo Hongwen's true identity, because she had no way of explaining why she wanted to investigate him.

That way, many of the things she did behind her back would be exposed.

Zhao Xuan frowned tightly after hearing what Gu Jinchu said. She believed most of what Lu Xiuhuai said when he was drunk.

She held Gu Jinchu's hand, smiled lightly, and did not mention Zuo Hongwen again.

She was born in the deep palace and was exposed to intrigue and deception since childhood.

If she accidentally becomes a part of someone, the person who schemed against her would have to be able to withstand her anger.

He cheered up and asked Gu Jinchu, "By the way, how is your grandfather's health?"

"Speaking of this, I haven't had the chance to thank you yet. Fortunately, you brought Mr. Wu here in advance." Gu Jinchu shook the eldest princess' hand and sniffed.

My grandfather was indeed sick. Wu Zizhen said that it was fortunate that he came in time and the disease had not spread in the body, otherwise my grandfather would have only a year to live.

The good news is that he is completely confident that this disease can be cured.

He also said that as long as my grandfather took the medicine well and paid a little attention to his diet, he would be safe for another 20 years after recovering from the illness.

The eldest princess really helped her a lot. It is no exaggeration to say that she is the benefactor of the Zheng family.

Zhao Xuan blinked, "Chu Jie'er, you misunderstood. Wu Zizhen was sent by my uncle to pick him up."

She mentioned this matter unintentionally that day. It was her uncle who said that he had a manager going to Nanzhili to check the accounts, and he could take Wu Zizhen back to Shengjing with him.

Gu Jinchu: "..."

A pigeon delivered a note written by Jiang Nansheng... Xuan Lian, who settled Wu Zizhen in the inn...

At that time, she didn't dare to think of Jiang Nansheng. He had never responded to her and was avoiding her.

"How shameless! She is the eldest princess of a country! She is being affectionate with a man in a crowded place!"

"Your Highness, they are not going to kiss here, are they?"

"It's so shameful. In our Fusang, even ordinary girls wouldn't behave like this."

"Haha, I heard there's a place called a brothel here, I guess the atmosphere here is just as open..."

Zhao Xuan heard a language she didn't understand. She turned around and saw two young women not far away looking at her and Gu Jinchu. When they noticed her gaze, they smiled slightly and saluted with somewhat awkward movements.

"He has a nice face, but unfortunately he has bad morals."

Although Zhao Xuan didn't understand, she knew that they were accompanying envoys, so she smiled faintly and nodded slightly.

"Oh my god, they've been discovered, and the two of them haven't even let go of each other's hands. They're simply desecrating the harem."

After saying this, the two of them disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Zhao Xuan couldn't understand, but Gu Jinchu could.

It was learned that one of the two was a princess, but the Princess of Fuso and the envoy were still meeting the emperor.

Gu Jinchu lowered his head and asked Zhao Xuan, "Princess, do you know where that is?"

"Huitongguan is the place where foreign envoys are received. All their clothing, food, housing, transportation and other activities after arriving in Shengjing are carried out here."

After Zhao Xuan finished speaking, she patted Gu Jinchu's hand. Not only her, but everyone who had heard about the fall of Sanjiang Fort would hate the Fuso people in their hearts.

When two countries are at war, they do not kill envoys. This time, the Fuso envoy came to ask for peace.

"Princess, according to the spies' information, the Jiang family has no actual military power. Why are you planning to get close to Jiang Nansheng?" Zhongshan Meihui asked as she tied the hidden weapon to Princess Xiaoqian.

Princess Xiaoxian spread her arms and said, "Although Jiang Honghui does not have military power, it does not mean that his former subordinates do not have it."

Thinking of the scene he just saw, a hint of sarcasm flashed across his face. "If the eldest princess was a prince, there wouldn't be the current dispute over the crown prince. Therefore, whoever can get the support of the Jiang family will be able to sit firmly on the throne."

"If we can assassinate Emperor Jianyuan, that would be great. If not, we will turn this royal family upside down..."

Gu Jinchu pulled the eldest princess, and the two of them quietly hid under the wall of the back room.

Zhao Xuan looked at Gu Jinchu who was listening carefully, as if she knew why she had come here at the risk of her life.
