A few people chatted for a while, and when Gu Yichen, Lin Jinan and Zhong Yi came out to look for them, Chu Chengyao took Zhong Yi and said goodbye to them.
On the way back, when the two asked about it, Lin Jinyan still said the same thing in the pavilion.
Gu Ruizhou glanced at the thin figure beside him:
"Where did Brother Ran go just now? Why did you come here with Yan'er?"
Mr. Ran looked at Lin Jinyan: "I happened to meet her when I was wandering around. I happened to give her the birthday gift I promised your sister, so we chatted with her for a while."
Gu Ruizhou's eyes flashed slightly: "Brother Ran usually doesn't like to make friends with others. He spent a lot of money to give Yan'er a birthday gift when we first met. If you don't know, you would think you know Yan'er."
Lin Jinyan smiled and said, "Brother Ran is my cousin's savior. Yan'er hopes to get to know him earlier."
Lin Jinan came over and asked curiously: "Yan'er, what gift did Brother Ran give you?"
Lin Jinyan smiled and took out the one hundred taels of silver notes from her sleeves and waved them in front of Gu Yichen's eyes.
Gu Yichen: "Brother Ran, did you really give Yan'er a banknote?"
Mr. Ran looked like it was natural:
"Didn't we agree to send the banknotes that day? Besides, I asked your sister when we were chatting just now. The fourth prince and young prince, as well as Mr. An, who never stayed overnight, all delivered the banknotes yesterday."
Gu Yichen used his elbow to slap Lin Jinan and said with a smile:
"Are you sad that you have no money to collect on the same birthday? Why don't you give me Zhufeng to ride on for ten days, and I'll give you a birthday gift too."
Lin Jinan rolled his eyes at Gu Yichen, slowly followed Lin Jinyan with his hands behind his back, and said calmly:
"If Yan'er can receive a birthday gift, I will only be happier than myself. How can I be sad? Second cousin, you are really a child at heart."
Lin Jinyan smiled and said, "Second cousin, I have long been prepared to divide the money equally with my brother, so that he won't feel sad."
Gu Yichen: "Hey! You two are of the same mind. Fortunately, I found a riding whip for you. Since you don't like it, I'd better keep it for myself."
Lin Jinan: "How can you not look down on me? Since I have said it, how can I not give it away? Cousin, please give me some advice..."
Several people chatted and laughed all the way and went back to the wing.
On the other side of Chu Chengyao's room, in the plain side room, the candlelight swayed slightly, and Chu Chengyao's figure reflected on the wall by the candlelight also swayed accordingly.
"Phoenixing?"
"yes."
"Was there anyone else in the meditation room at that time? Did you hear wrongly?"
"Master Kong is the only one in the Zen room. Zhao Jin heard it with his own ears, so there is no mistake."
Chu Chengyao frowned and moved his eyes left and right unfocused:
"Has Zhao Jin ever been discovered?"
Zhong Yi thought for a moment and then shook his head:
"In order to prevent people from the General's Palace from finding out, my subordinates stayed outside the courtyard where they lived to keep an eye on them. No one found Zhao Jin, and the General's Palace did not send anyone to follow Lin Jinyan."
Seeing Chu Chengyao frowning in thought, Zhong Yi asked carefully:
"Your Highness, you originally planned to get close to Lin Jinyan. Now that Master Lingkong has figured out that she is the one destined to be Phoenix, wouldn't it be better? Why is your Highness so frowning?"
Chu Chengyao looked at the dancing candlelight with burning eyes:
"I'm afraid that the person with Phoenix's fate...is not her. Go and investigate Lin Jinyan's cousin named Zhou. Everything is detailed. Report everything you find to me."
Zhong Yi respectfully agreed, and when he was about to go out, he was stopped by Chu Chengyao.
"Ask Zhao Jin to follow Lin Jinyan from a distance, and be careful not to be discovered, especially the Gu family."
