"So you are going to completely sever ties with me?"
Xie Jingchen's heart was stung again, and she stared at the banknote in her hand as if her heart was filled with despair.
"That's not what I meant."
Chu Nanzhi raised her eyebrows and explained: "I just don't want to owe you anything."
"But you do this because you want me to be in debt to you forever."
Xie Jingchen's expression gradually turned solemn: "If you hadn't been kind enough to save me in Duanlong Mountain, I would have returned to Duanlong Mountain, and how could I still be surviving to this day? A mountain ginseng costs two thousand taels of silver. This kind of life-saving grace is nothing.
I can repay you with ten thousand taels of silver notes."
After a pause, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly and put on a bitter smile: "What happened today is what I came here voluntarily and it has nothing to do with you. You don't need to feel guilty. We have different identities and our positions will naturally be the same."
It’s different, I won’t blame you if you turn to him everywhere.”
"I'm grateful that you think so."
Chu Nanzhi forced the banknote into his hand: "I saved your life, and you saved mine, so I can't accept this banknote anymore."
When she was rescued by a group of mysterious people in Haikang County, she was still confused. It wasn't until rumors spread in the city in the past few days that she realized that it was Xie Jingchen's people who rushed to her rescue.
Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Xie Jingchen had no choice but to take the banknote back, looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Little Zhizhi, you have to remember that no matter what the future situation of our Baiyu clan and the Dahe Empire is,
I will never harm you."
"Thank you."
Chu Nanzhi looked at him, thought about it for a moment, and then replied thoughtfully: "I don't want to see Prince Xie become enemies one day."
"If it really comes to the moment when the two armies meet."
"If that day comes, I am a subject of the Dahe Empire, and even more so the princess of King Pingning, the two of us will definitely do our best to protect Ningzhou and Baonan, even if we fight to the last soldier.
, and will never allow your country to violate its borders.”
Before Xie Jingchen could finish what he said, Chu Nanzhi interrupted him with a strong voice. The firmness in his eyes showed no intention of compromise.
Xie Jingchen pursed his lips and smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, as long as I am here, there will never be a day when the two countries will meet each other at war."
"Prince Xie, you are true to your words. I believe in you and your sincerity in this peace negotiation. Your Highness and I will do our best to promote this peace negotiation."
Chu Nanzhi nodded and replied.
Thinking of the doubts in his mind, he immediately asked: "I don't understand something, please thank the prince for clarifying my doubts."
Xie Jingchen smiled understandingly: "You want to ask me how I know about Concubine Yue and Prince Nandu?"
When he saw through his thoughts directly, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but shudder: This scumbag is indeed smart.
"I was also puzzled about this matter. I just heard it from hearsay. Later, I sent Xizuo to spend some money to inquire about some things. I learned that King Nandu often came to the post house and had private meetings with Concubine Yue in Rongning Garden."
At this point, Xie Jingchen couldn't help but frown: "But I see that Lieutenant Yin seems to know more about this matter. I'm afraid someone has already reported the secret to Jingling City."
"This is strange."
Chu Nanzhi became more and more confused: "If someone wants to bring down Concubine Yue and King Nandu, since they have already secretly informed the court, why do they need to drag us into trouble again? Doesn't this seem contradictory?"
"Perhaps there is more than just one group of forces hiding in this inn."
Xie Jingchen smiled and speculated: "King Nandu is the enemy of many princes. Even if you and King Pingning have no intention of competing for power, other princes may not let them go with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
After a pause, he said suspiciously: "As for why someone in the post house let you and me know about this, I'm afraid it's for you and your wife. They want to kill two birds with one stone and use you and your wife to bring down the King of Nandu, but at the same time throw their hatred to
You guys, you can see that this strategy is more clever."
Thinking of someone trying to harm little Zhizhi, Xie Jingchen couldn't help but remind him: "When you encounter such a terrifying opponent who plots against you one after another, you should be more careful."
These words of thorough analysis made Chu Nanzhi suddenly enlightened and she suddenly understood something.
"Thank you, Prince, for the tip."
Chu Nanzhi also admired this guy's analytical ability. He actually thought of this level directly, and it immediately opened up her mind.
"Farewell."
Now that everything was clear and open, Chu Nanzhi did not dare to stay any longer and led Sang Qi away quickly.
"Small"
Xie Jingchen reluctantly watched her go away. Considering her reputation, he finally couldn't bear to call her.
Back on the carriage, Lin Jinxiao was sitting upright. When he saw her coming back, a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Have you made the explanation clear?"
"Um."
Chu Nan Zhiqian pursed her thin lips and responded: "Prince Xie mentioned the matter of the post house just now, and I also felt that something was wrong."
"There is nothing wrong. There is no one who is impermeable in this world. Concubine Yue is arrogant and thinks that she can control everything in Rongning Garden. But she doesn't know that she still relied on the Tang family to get this position. Now she wants to cling to it.
How can Nandu King and Qinghe dignitaries agree to this?"
Lin Jinxiao thought about it for a while on the carriage, and roughly figured out the details. He speculated with great certainty: "If what I said is true, there must be a spy arranged by the Tang family around Concubine Yue, who secretly reported this matter."
Gave it to the court."
"This is very possible."
Chu Nan Zhi Mei Feng looked at him with a twinkle: "If it was Tang Ru who did it, and he intends to win over you now and does not want to harm you, then who specifically disclosed this matter to you and me?"
"You have to ask our Uncle Sixth Emperor about this."
Lin Jinxiao smiled coldly.
"King Kitahama?"
Chu Nanzhi was even more surprised: "Why did you guess who he was?"
"I told you before, don't underestimate this person."
Lin Jinxiao told her in detail: "Rongningyuan is full of personal guards in the palace. How can people come close to it at will, let alone know the secrets, unless there are internal officials in the palace, and the kings in the capital can always stay in the palace."
Of those who are walking around, the two most senior ones are undoubtedly the two imperial uncles. They are the sons of Emperor Chonghua, and they have been raised by the Empress Dowager since they were young. How difficult is it to cultivate a few confidants in the palace."
"What you say does make sense."
Combined with Xie Jingchen's remarks, Chu Nanzhi felt a little more confident.
She had previously felt that the Sixth Emperor's uncle was quite powerful, and only he could come up with such a clever strategy.
"Could it be that Jin Hong was responsible for assassinating me and sending people to rob the imperial edict?"
Chu Nanzhi began to think about it.
When she went to Puluo'an that day, the words that Uncle Liu Huang said in the pavilion were still fresh in her mind. He deliberately pointed the finger at Lin Tingkai. In the end, he met the assassin again, which made her unconsciously associate it with the incident.
Come to Lin Tingkai.
And he himself reaps the benefits.
If all these things were done by him, then this person's intentions are really very sinister.
