The Second Prince's Mansion.
When Zhong Yi returned to his residence, he saw the housekeeper and his men carefully lifting the new door plaque engraved with Prince Jin's residence.
Stepping into the yard, he saw Liu Meiren being stopped outside the study with food. Zhong Yi knew that Chu Chengyao was upset at the moment and was unwilling to deal with it, so he found an excuse to persuade Liu Meiren to leave.
Knocking on the door and entering the study, he saw Chu Chengyao staring blankly at the tiaras neatly arranged on the table. He turned around and closed the door, slowed down and stepped forward to salute:
"Your Highness..."
Chu Chengyao's expression remained unchanged: "I am now a prince, don't you congratulate me?"
Zhong Yi: "Your Highness, don't you often say that man can conquer nature and change the world? Although Your Majesty treats you as a whetstone, I firmly believe that Your Highness will become the sharpest knife."
Chu Chengyao withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhong Yi and said with a smile:
"If you trust me so much, you will definitely not be let down."
Seeing that Chu Chengyao was energetic, Zhong Yi took out the secret letter from his arms:
"Master, a letter from Binzhou."
Chu Chengyao took it and opened it. When he read the letter, his smile gradually increased. After reading it, he handed the letter to Zhong Yi:
"My uncle took advantage of the people's movement during the New Year and sent the remaining people safely to Fengming Mountain. The poisonous powder on the Xue family's batch of silver was removed and used for military supplies, which just solved the urgent need. With this trump card, I can also be more relaxed when doing things.”
Zhong Yi also looked happy: "Wanyuan Sect agreed to form an alliance in private, and there was help from the world. His Highness's plan was not in vain."
Chu Chengyao: "In order to prevent me, my father specially placed my fiefdom in Zhangzhou, which is one state away from my uncle's jurisdiction. He just wanted to use Xiangzhou in the middle to separate my uncle's power. The Han family suppressed me in Zhangzhou. Even if you have the best intentions, you can't make trouble. Now that the Wanyuan Sect has formed an alliance, Binzhou, Xiangzhou, and Zhangzhou have become one line, and it has actually made things easier for me."
Zhong Yi: "Your Highness, the manpower sent to Zhangzhou to take over the fiefdom has been gathered. Are you leaving today?"
Chu Chengyao thought for a moment and then agreed:
"This group of people is going to be exposed. We can't hide it. It's better to go early and let others think that I value the fiefdom as an escape route."
Never sleep.
As soon as the teahouse opened, Chu Chengyi took Guo Hao to find An Zhixian.
After An Zhixian found out, he didn't rush to meet anyone. He asked Zhuqing to take the two of them upstairs to drink tea. He went to the backyard to find Dr. Wu and had a cup of tea before going upstairs.
After being seated, the two of them chatted for a long time. When they got up to something interesting, Chu Chengyi happily patted An Zhixian on the shoulder.
An Zhixian also smiled happily and raised his hand to refill Chu Chengyi's empty cup with hot tea.
"I heard an interesting story this morning. It was said that the young master of Tianji Sect fought with the master of Mingye Pavilion last night. In order to capture the master of Mingye Pavilion, the young master of Tianji Sect even lit the signal fireworks used to save his life. In the end, we chased him outside the city, but he still wasn’t caught.”
An Zhixian's face remained as usual, and he chuckled in a nonchalant tone:
"With such high spirits, it seems that the young master of Tianji Sect is still young."
Chu Chengyi had a loose smile, but his eyes were fixed on An Zhixian's expression:
"According to rumors, the young master of Tianji Sect is about the same age as you and me."
An Zhixian: "I don't know about this, but if he is really past his weak years and still behaves like this, it can only mean that the elders in his family are extremely pampered towards him."
Speaking of this, An Zhixian sounded envious:
"I am stuck in Kyoto with this job to make a living. I can't go anywhere. I can't travel like you. I know very little about the world."
