Hearing Lian Zhi's words, Wen Zhiyuan was slightly startled, and then he smiled, but the smile was bitter no matter how you looked at it: "I never thought that you could see so thoroughly."

Wen Zhiyuan found that since meeting Lian Zhi, he had indeed done many things that he would never have done before. Now after being reminded by Lian Zhi, he found that he had crossed that line.

"People are greedy, and it is human nature to push beyond the limit. I don't want to be that kind of person. So, don't be too nice to me." Otherwise, even if I know very well that all this is just the beginning of benefits, I will still be involuntarily.

The wheel sinks in.

Wen Zhiyuan didn't know what to say for a moment. When he thought about what happened during this period, everything seemed to have deviated from the original track. At least, he should not get involved in Wang Li's matter, because this matter

No matter what the outcome is in the end, it will do more harm than good to him. He has been cautious for so many years, but he has no clue about this step.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Wen Zhiyuan asked, "Don't care about you? If I really don't care about you, I shouldn't have saved you when we were in Yunfeng. Since the fate between you and me started at Yunfeng

It’s gone, now it’s impossible to cut it off.”

But I am not the real Lin Wanyang. I can hide this matter for a while, but I cannot hide it for a lifetime! For the first time, Lian Zhi regretted why he agreed to marry as a substitute, why he wanted to become Lin Wanyang, and why he met Wen Zhiyuan.

?

"I don't want to mention this matter now, Wen Zhiyuan, what we have to face now is the matter of Wang Li."

"But when faced with this matter, you excluded me."

"Isn't it what you should want if I exclude you? Why do you have to get into this quagmire with me? Is it so interesting to die together? At this time, shouldn't you protect yourself wisely?"

Wen Zhiyuan tried his best to calm down. It was useless to argue with Lian Zhi at this time: "Maybe there was something wrong with my tone just now. I just think this matter is not small. You just came to Xichu not long ago, and many situations have happened."

I don’t know. I know you are very powerful, but it may be difficult for you to handle some things on your own."

Lian Zhi also knew that she shouldn't be angry with Wen Zhiyuan. When Wen Zhiyuan gave her the steps, she went down the steps: "I just found out that Qian De's pawnshop has a relationship with the second prince. The Wang family should also mean the same thing."

This is what the Mo family means, so the Mo family should support the second prince."

Wen Zhiyuan already understood Lian Zhi's plan: "This matter is not easy to handle." Wen Zhiyuan did not expect that Wen Zhiyu would hide it so deeply. For so many years, the relationship between Wen Zhiyu and the Mo family has never been discovered.

.

Lian Zhi nodded: "I know that once it fails, the consequences will be disastrous. So, you can't get involved. This matter was done by me alone. Anyway, I have Dongxia behind me. No matter how angry Emperor Chu is, he will never...

Kill me."

"Is it because of this that you don't want to involve me?" Wen Zhiyuan asked.

Lian Zhi himself couldn't explain the reason: "Anyway, it's best that you don't care about anything."

"Wen Zhiyu has always been very popular with my father. If this matter can hurt him, then why don't I participate?" Wen Zhiyuan asked, "This matter is not for you, but for myself, so we can discuss it together.

.”

Wen Zhiyuan slowly approached Lian Zhi as he spoke. There was still a slight smile on his face, as if he was not angry at all: "Are you sure you can complete this thing by yourself?"

Lian Zhi indeed knew a lot of things, but she was still missing a crucial connection point. If she couldn't find that connection point, everything she did tonight would be meaningless.

"You win." Lian Zhi pushed Wen Zhiyuan away, but she didn't use any force. Wen Zhiyuan followed her force and took two steps back.

"Let's go back together." Wen Zhiyuan said.

On the way back, Lian Zhi told Wen Zhiyuan everything she saw tonight.

Lian Zhi sighed silently in her heart. She and Wen Zhiyuan almost had a quarrel just now, but now they can walk back together so calmly. But is the problem really solved? In fact, this is an unsolvable problem.

It's a deadlock, but both of them can only choose to ignore this problem now.

"You said you recorded a "Picture of Snow Plum Blossoms" in your account book?"

"Well, that "Snowy Plum Picture" is a masterpiece by everyone. It is said to have been lost for a long time. I originally thought it would be collected, but I didn't expect it to be in a pawn shop."

"To be precise, it was not in the pawn shop, but in the palace. My father liked that picture very much. When the second emperor brother presented this "Snow Plum Picture" to my father as a birthday gift, my father was very happy.

.”

Lian Zhi suddenly remembered something. She stopped and asked, "But why did "Snow Plum Picture" appear in Chande's pawn shop?"

Wen Zhiyuan was not clear about this matter. He had just said that he would send someone to investigate when he unexpectedly heard Gu Shiqi's voice: "Why did "Snow Plum Picture" appear in Qian De's pawn shop? I can answer this question.

Please clarify your doubts."

Lian Zhi and Wen Zhiyuan looked at Gu Shiqi, with scrutiny and suspicion in their eyes. Gu Shiqi joked: "Why, you are allowed to go out for a walk in the middle of the night, but I can't?"

Lian Zhi was very sure that Gu Shiqi had just appeared and had not heard the previous conversation, but the timing of Gu Shiqi's appearance was so clever that it seemed strange.

Lian Zhi asked: "Were you not discovered when you came out?"

"Of course not." Gu Shiqi smiled, "But we can talk about this "Snow Plum Picture" together..."

Su Qing got up early the next morning. She originally wanted to prepare breakfast for Lian Zhi, but as soon as she walked downstairs, she found that Lian Zhi and Gu Shiqi were already having breakfast.

Lian Zhi saw Su Qing and waved to her: "You're awake, come and have breakfast quickly."

Su Qing sat down a little dazedly: "Where are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Hanfeng guards?"

"Wen Zhiyuan is going to court, and the two of them have already left." Because it was too early, only Lian Zhi's table was having breakfast in the lobby, so everyone had no worries about talking.

"Princess, when did you get up, and why are you so early?" Lian Zhi didn't know how to explain to Su Qing that she didn't get up early, but just stayed up all night.

"Maybe I didn't sleep well, so I woke up early." Lian Zhi asked Su Qing to sit down, and then placed a bowl of porridge in front of Su Qing, "Drink it quickly, or it will get cold."

Su Qing always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong: "Then what are we going to do today?"

"It's very simple. Go shopping with me. Buy whatever you like and choose whatever is expensive." Lian Zhi said and took away the porridge bowl from Gu Shiqi's hand. "You go quickly and remember to pay the bill."

Already."

Gu Shiqi stood up helplessly: "Are you sure you want me to leave so early?"

Lian Zhi glanced at him, but Gu Shiqi didn't dare to speak and left immediately: "Cross the river and burn the bridge."

"Princess, Mr. Gu and the Crown Prince have left. When will we return to the palace?"

"Back to the palace?" Lian Zhi guessed, "If everything goes well, you can have a good sleep tomorrow. If it doesn't go well, you have to wait a few days."

Here, Gu Shiqi left the inn and walked towards Gu's house. He was keenly aware that the thugs from Ruyi Gambling House were following him, and a smile of success appeared on his face.

After going to court, Wen Zhiyu did not leave immediately, but went to visit his mother, Concubine Xian.

The Concubine Xian did not come from a famous family, but to rise to the position of Concubine Xian from a palace maid is enough to imagine how powerful this person is.

When Wen Zhiyu arrived, Concubine Xian was practicing calligraphy.

Concubine Xian's success today depends not only on her beautiful face, but also on her scheming. She knew that Emperor Chu liked talented women, and she went from a person who only knew a few words to what she is today.

The insights of people who could discuss poems and books with the Emperor of Chu made the Emperor of Chu turn his attention to them. It is enough to imagine how much he had to pay during this period.

"The handwriting of "Mother and Concubine" is already very good." Wen Zhiyu praised.

Concubine Xian did not put down the brush in her hand: "If this palace continues to stagnate, do you really think the emperor will still come here?"

Wen Zhiyu didn't have much affection for the Concubine Xian. In his impression, the Concubine had never cared much about him since he was a child. He read those poems and books, practiced calligraphy, and painted every day, and refused to let a day go by. But.

Wen Zhiyu also knew that it was precisely because of Concubine Xian's favor that he was favored by the Emperor of Chu, so he respected Concubine Xian very much.

"The mother and concubine think long-term, but the son is not thoughtful."

"You must not make any mistakes recently, do you understand?"

"Is it because of the marriage?"

"That's right, no matter what happens to the eldest prince, there will definitely be no problem between you and the Mo family. You must not be careless until the decree of marriage comes down. Now the queen is worried about the eldest prince's marriage. If you make a mistake at this juncture

, then all these years of hard work will be in vain.”

"The son understands what the mother and concubine means. However, something has happened to the Wang family recently, related to Princess Wanyang. Concubine, you also know the relationship between the Wang family and the Mo family. The Wang family asked the Mo family to seek help from their son. They hope that the son can serve Wang Li.
