In the dim morning light, the sun shines through the gaps between the branches into the yard, like bits of silver, which is very beautiful.

The Mu Jin sisters and Chi Zhang were both waiting outside the door, staring at the closed door.

Finally, the door was opened from the inside.

Chu Heng was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, standing tall and graceful, with a bright brow, but his face was a little pale, which made him look even more gentle and noble.

Cheng Jiuyuan had a faint smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque.

The sunshine shining on the two of them is so beautiful that people can't bear to destroy it.

But some people just don't know what's good for them.

"Girl, why is there a break at the corner of your mouth?" Song Lan asked curiously.

Shan Lan glanced at Song Lan with disdain, "Stupid! Master, the Second Miss Cheng must be getting anxious and angry because of this."

"Is that so? Then I'll go back and prepare some heat-clearing medicinal food for you."

Cheng Jiuyuan touched the corner of his mouth with his hand and looked up at the culprit.

Chu Heng raised his lips in a gentle arc and took her hand.

"Master, your poison..." Chi Zhang asked.

Chu Heng nodded.

"Great!"

"Miss Cheng is amazing!"

"That's right! Don't you even look at who my girl is!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces.

"Prepare breakfast."

"It's ready."

Chu Heng hadn't eaten much in the past three days, so the breakfast was very sumptuous.

"You have just been cured of the poison, which is equivalent to recovering from a serious illness. You can't eat too much. You have to take it step by step." Cheng Jiuyuan warned.

Chu Heng added a bowl of porridge for her and said gently: "You have been the one who has worked the hardest these three days. Eat more."

After breakfast, Cheng Jiuyuan left first.

It was almost noon when she returned home. After lunch, she stayed in the room to continue making birthday gifts.

……

The capital city, which had been sunny for many days, finally started to get windy.

The dark night seemed like an endless amount of thick ink painted across the sky.

A black shadow passed by quickly and headed straight for the outskirts of the city.

There were two carriages parked there, with three or four people standing next to them.

"who!"

Cheng Jiuyuan stepped forward to take the veil and nodded to the young woman: "Miss Jiang."

The young woman was none other than the former Crown Princess Jiang Qingli, who had been dead for almost a month.

Jiang Qingli's alert face instantly turned into a smile: "Second Miss Cheng, I didn't expect you to come specially to see me off."

Cheng Jiuyuan took out a small box from his bosom and handed it to her: "I believe that General Jiang and Madam Jiang have already prepared enough money for you, so I won't bother you any more. Keep this. If you have any difficulties, you can take this thing to find Wuying Hall."

Jiang Qingli took the box with a look of gratitude on his face.

General Jiang and Madam Jiang looked at each other and hurried forward.

"My daughter was saved by Miss Cheng Er, you are our Jiang family's great benefactor!"

"Yes, I was still worried just now. Qing Li went to Northern Qi alone. Although he had money, we were still worried about him leaving his homeland. Second Miss Cheng is really thoughtful."

Jiang Qingli is the former Crown Princess. The fact that she came back to life must never be exposed, and she must not stay in Dongling anymore.

The people of Northern Qi and Dongling look not much different, and their customs and habits are also very similar, so Northern Qi is the best place to go.

It has been more than half a month since the fall of the Wei family and the prince, and the dust has settled. Now is the best time to leave.

"The journey is long and the mountains are high, take care, Miss Jiang." Cheng Jiuyuan said.

Jiang Qingli knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed quickly to Cheng Jiuyuan.

"What are you doing? Get up quickly..." Cheng Jiuyuan hurried to help him.

"Second Miss Cheng, we have only met a few times, yet you have helped me and rescued me from the cage. I never thought that I could start over again, not even in my dreams. Second Miss Cheng, you must accept this gift."

"Okay, I accept this gift, you should get up quickly."

Jiang Qingli looked at his parents again and bowed slowly.

"My daughter is unfilial. I have to go on a long journey now. I don't know when I will see you again. I hope you take care of yourselves."

Mrs. Jiang wiped her tears and sobbed.

Things are good now, at least my daughter is still alive.

"Don't think like that. Maybe you will be reunited as a family soon." Cheng Jiuyuan comforted.

Even though General Jiang was reluctant, he rationally urged his daughter to leave, as the longer they stayed in the capital, the greater the risk.

Jiang Qingli wiped her tears and got on the carriage, which soon disappeared into the night.

General Jiang let his wife get on the carriage first, and then looked at Cheng Jiuyuan.

Suddenly he bowed deeply to Cheng Jiuyuan.

"General Jiang..."

Taiwei Jiang looked at her with a serious expression, "Second Miss Cheng, it is inconvenient to say more at this time and here. I only have one thing to say. If Second Miss Cheng needs my Taiwei Mansion in the future, just let me know."

Cheng Jiuyuan did not refuse. "Although I have no selfish motives in saving Miss Jiang, the current situation is unclear. If I encounter any difficulties in the future, I hope that the Grand Marshal will lend a hand."

"This is for sure."

The two didn't say much, but they understood each other tacitly.

Cheng Jiuyuan covered her face with a veil and left as quietly as she had come.

Watching the figure that came and went without a trace and disappeared into the night sky, General Jiang's eyes were filled with amazement.

He got on the carriage, and Madam Jiang said worriedly, "Qing Li is alone, I am really worried."

"I've arranged everything. There will be people to pick you up and take care of you when you get there. It'll be fine."

"Master, why do you think Miss Cheng Er wants to help us?"

"No matter what it is, we owe her a huge favor. She and the Fifth Prince are one and the same. Now Prince Rui and the Fifth Prince are equally matched, but the power that Prince Rui has built up over the years is far greater than that of the Fifth Prince. We can't help her openly, but we should help her secretly."

Madam Jiang nodded. "I didn't expect Qing Li is still alive. That's great..."

Just as Cheng Jiuyuan was about to enter the prime minister's residence, he saw a carriage hurriedly leaving from the back door of the residence, driven by Cheng Zongyang's personal servant.

It’s so late, where is Cheng Zongyang going mysteriously?

Cheng Jiuyuan followed the carriage unnoticed.

The carriage stopped at the back door of Xinghua Tower, and someone was already waiting there.

So mysterious, just to visit a brothel?

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't believe it.

She turned and went to the next street and knocked on the door of a clothing store.

After a while, the shopkeeper yawned and opened the door.

"Who is it, late at night...Boss?"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded slightly and slipped into the shop.

When he came out of the shop again, he was a handsome young man.

Cheng Jiuyuan arrived outside the Xinghua Tower again, and he was instantly surrounded by a group of girls because of his handsome appearance.

"Oh, what a handsome young man."

"You look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?"

"Even if you don't give me money, I am willing to do this."

He didn't have a human skin mask or anything, just a pair of deft hands that changed his makeup, his skin tone was a few shades darker, but he was still handsome.

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled charmingly and was surrounded by a group of girls as he walked into the house.

She took out a gold ingot she had stolen from the clothing shop and chose a girl who looked shy and reserved.

"Prepare the best room for me."

"Young Master, please go to the second floor!"

Cheng Jiuyuan saw that the second floor was brightly lit and very noisy, so it was impossible for Cheng Zongyang to be on this floor.

She pretended to be casual and continued to walk upstairs, but was stopped by the girl.

"Young Master, you've gone too far. It's over here!"

"It's quiet upstairs. I'm not used to such noise."

The girl said in embarrassment: "You can't go upstairs."

She said they couldn't go, not that there were no rooms or anything.

"Why can't I go? Are you worried that I can't afford the money?"

The girl stammered, "The upstairs is reserved by a distinguished person tonight..."

Cheng Jiuyuan did not make things difficult for the innocent girl, guessing that Cheng Zongyang was probably upstairs.

He entered the room with the girl and locked the door.

"Sir, would you like to listen to some music or..."

Cheng Jiuyuan handed over a glass of wine and said frivolously, "Of course, we should drink a glass of wedding wine first."

The girl shyly took the wine, drank the glass, and soon fell to the ground.

Cheng Jiuyuan poured the wine in his hand, took the girl in one hand and put her on the bed.

This room is at the very edge of the building. She has seen it before. By going out of the window here, she can go directly to the third floor.

She climbed out of the window and easily climbed up to the third floor by climbing the wall.

The third floor was so quiet that it seemed like it was not the same building as the one downstairs. She opened the door and stuck her head out.

I saw several men dressed in tight clothes standing outside a room on the third floor. They were obviously martial artists.

After a while, she saw an acquaintance coming out of the room, closing the door and standing outside guarding it personally.

Cheng Jiuyuan knew this person.

This person is Chu Ze’s man!

Buddha's Hand and Haobai are Chu Ze's guards in the open, while this one is in the dark.

She had also seen him once in her previous life when she happened to meet Chu Ze. She had always had a good memory and could remember anyone she had seen, especially the people around Chu Ze.

It seems that the person Cheng Zongyang came to see secretly was Chu Ze.

Knowing who it was, Cheng Jiuyuan didn't stay any longer. He returned to the second floor and left the brothel in a swagger.
