Chu Chengyao and Zhong Yi followed the prince from a distance. Seeing that the prince and his entourage were walking further and further away, Chu Chengyao felt alarmed. When he was about to return to the main hall, the prince stopped by the rockery and said something to his entourage. What? He quickly left towards the backyard. The prince stood beside the rockery and waited leisurely.
Chu Chengyao thought for a moment and motioned to Zhong Yi to follow him and take a look, while he hid behind the pillar and stared at the prince.
In the side courtyard.
Seeing that the maid lowered her head and did not look at him, and only stubbornly invited him in, Lin Jinyan did not feel too embarrassed. She glanced around the yard again, gave Bai Zhi a cautious look, and walked up to the house.
The maid opened the door, and there were fruit refreshments on the table facing the door. Lin Jinyan calmly entered and sat down. The maid poured the tea and bowed, leaving the door open and standing at the door with her eyes downcast, as if guarding her master and servants. The two of them ran away.
Bai Zhi glanced at the incense burner on the table, took out the handkerchief from her sleeve, and handed it to Lin Jinyan.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Lin Jinyan's eyes tightened when she heard the maid's voice greeting her, then she calmly stood up and saluted:
"His Royal Highness King Jin."
Chu Chengyao caught a glimpse of the maid leaving in a hurry, and hesitantly stepped into the house. He glanced around and saw that there were only two masters and servants in the house, and asked in confusion:
"Why is Miss Lin here?"
Lin Jinyan looked at him with a slight smile:
"Didn't His Highness invite me here?"
Chu Chengyao: "Me? How could I disregard the protection of men and women and arrange for Miss Lin to meet here secretly?"
While he was talking, Chu Chengyao suddenly felt his blood surge up and his head felt dizzy. He immediately understood. He glanced at the incense burner on the table, covered his mouth and nose and staggered back outside:
"There's something wrong with this fragrance. Miss Lin, leave quickly!"
"Second brother? If you weren't staying in the main hall, why did you come to this side courtyard?"
After hearing the sound, Lin Jinyan walked out of the house and saw the prince entering the courtyard with two personal entourage and a man in luxurious clothes. Lin Jinyan calmly saluted.
A hint of surprise flashed in the prince's eyes, and he called Lin Jinyan:
"Why is Miss Lin here too? Are you and your second brother here?"
"When I got back to Your Highness, it was the maid from the Princess's Mansion who sent word that the Crown Princess wanted to invite her, so I came to this courtyard. His Highness Prince Jin came as soon as he sat down."
After taking a few breaths of air-conditioning, Chu Chengyao felt a bit confused in his mind, but he was finally sober. Seeing the prince arriving in such a timely manner, Chu Chengyao knew in his heart that he was being plotted, and he had no evidence. This loss can only be suppressed first. The two people who came in together greeted each other and said gently:
"Back to the emperor brother, after a long time in the future, I went to the Princess Mansion. I went to Muxuan and wanted to walk around. Unexpectedly, I got lost. I saw Miss Lin here. I thought I had a personal relationship with her brother, so I came over to say a few words. ."
Prince: "It's such a coincidence? Hui Ning and Miss Lin are familiar with each other. If you have anything to say, do you have to come to the side courtyard of the princess's mansion to talk about it?"
Lin Jinyan said respectfully: "I don't know, I just heard from the maid. I haven't seen the Crown Princess yet."
The prince sent one of his followers to find someone to invite the princess, and invited several people to sit in the house:
"There is nothing going on, so why not wait for Huining to arrive before we leave. Otherwise, if Miss Lin is left alone in this side courtyard, Yun Ping will not be able to explain to the Taifu and the General's Mansion when she meets Meng Lang's people."
Chu Chengyao wanted to go back to the main hall but was dragged by the prince. He had no reason to force him to leave, let alone a clear explanation. He could only pinch his palms secretly and rely on the pain to wake himself up.
Seeing the prince and the man in brocade sitting down at the table, Chu Chengyao glanced at the incense burner that was about to burn out with a serious look.
