Back in the courtyard, Zhou Jinyan told Jian Yu his intention to come to Qingzhou City as promised on the carriage.
In fact, Jian Yu had somewhat guessed that Zhou Jinyan was investigating treason, and the last clue he had done in Shengjing pointed to Qingzhou City.
In the prefect's study room, they asked the prefect to investigate the vendors and outsiders who came in and out of Qingzhou City in the past three months in the name of visiting relatives.
Zhou Jinyan and the emperor suspected that the Jinnu were not only targeting the officials of the imperial court, but also wanted to control the Great Zhou in all aspects by cannibalizing the merchants of the Great Zhou.
When the two parties link up, the losses and chaos caused are unimaginable!
Judging from the spies captured, Jin Slave has great ambitions!
The net against imperial officials has almost been closed. Zhou Jin came to Qingzhou from Yan'an mainly to investigate the merchants. By then, the net will be tightened as a whole, and all those who are treasonous and have connections with gold slaves will be trapped in it.
It doesn't matter even if some fish slip through the net, they will be scared out of their wits, and it will not become a big problem. It will be better solved when the time comes.
The Jin slaves were not stupid, and they had guessed Zhou Jinyan's intention, so they used the An family's name to cause trouble, trying to get Zhou Jinyan to focus on the An family and divert the trouble away.
This action has revealed An Jia's identity, and Zhou Jinyan's reaction will make the people behind the scenes breathe a sigh of relief.
Because it was An Jia who was related to Princess Jing, the princess must have said good things to her. The attitude of meeting Jian's father and mother in Jinzhou clearly showed that Prince Jing was persuaded by the princess.
He temporarily put aside Qingzhou's suspicion!
The hero is saddened by the beauty. If the other party chooses to return to Shengjing, it means that they are safe for the time being. They should take this opportunity to clear their identities quickly or hurry up and plan their journey...
Who in Shengjing knows how much Prince Jing loves Princess Jing? So this behavior makes sense.
Zhou Jinyan also grasped this point, relaxed the vigilance of the Jinnu people, and asked the prefect to investigate the actions of the merchants. There was no way of alerting the snake. September and October were coming, and this move was in line with preparations for the imperial envoy.
Using a blindfold on Jin Slave, Zhou Jinyan secretly came to Qingzhou and secretly observed everything in the dark.
The friction with the Lord of Shouxi County actually made the people in Qingzhou less vigilant. After all, if they came to spy with a purpose, they would not expose themselves carelessly on the first day...
Zhou Jinyan said, and Jian Yu became more and more frightened as she listened.
He is worthy of being the villain who has the last laugh. Look at how he manipulates his enemies! It’s so terrifyingly precise!
She wanted to think about every step Zhou Jinyan took and his conjectures, and found that they were all valid and reasonable! Many of the other party's seemingly random actions actually have ulterior motives!
Originally, Jian Yu wanted to keep the matter aloof, so that it would be easier for her to distance herself from the relationship in the future. But now that she has reached this stage, she also understands that she wants to stay out of everything, and it is impossible to protect her own safety.
So she asked Zhou Jinyan about the purpose of coming to Qingzhou, and cooperated with him to make the most grand gesture of a princess in the world, just to confuse the golden slave!
Zhou Jinyan was such a terrifyingly calm man, and she thought he liked her somewhat.
"However, after arriving in Qingzhou, your identity is no longer Prince Jing, so you don't have to act like you love and protect your wife."
Jian Yu is not a person who is easily confused. If Zhou Jinyan hadn't behaved flawlessly, she wouldn't have thought about all the things. Now that this was mentioned, she asked out her doubts.
"No matter what my identity is to the outside world, there is no need to hide our identities from you. I am Prince Jing and you are Princess Jing, right?"
Zhou Jinyan's words made Jian Yu a little confused, so the other party meant that he was good to her, not just acting?
"Then my lord, do you like me?"
Jian Yu played a straight game and asked her questions very seriously, as if she didn't understand Zhou Jinyan's plan and was asking questions with an open mind.
Zhou Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Didn't I make it obvious enough about Princess Xinyue?"
"I am also pleased with you, Your Majesty."
As Jian Yu said this, her eyes were fixed on Zhou Jinyan's face, trying to see the flaws in his expression.
"M'anko."
Suddenly, Zhou Jinyan's words made Jian Yu stunned. She said, "What?"
Without answering this question, Zhou Jinyan said: "Madam, how about we see people's hearts over time?"
Zhou Jinyan knew that Jian Yu didn't trust him. It could be seen in the other party's reaction when he said Xinyue's words just now.
I wanted to take this opportunity to express my feelings, but I guess in the end it will only be regarded as having ulterior motives. It seems that now is not the time.
Sincerity is the most fearless thing to express. Zhou Jinyan himself doesn’t really understand emotions, so he just spends more time with her, which helps him understand his own heart more clearly, and also allows Jian Yu to see his heart clearly.
The premise is that they must be together.
Therefore, the third prince, who was an eyesore, had to be dealt with as soon as possible when he returned to Shengjing. A coldness flashed in Zhou Jinyan's eyes.
The purpose of letting Jian Yu get close to Tang Fu was to see what kind of entanglement there was between her and Tang Fu. According to Jian Yu's temperament, if she hated Tang Fu so much, she would definitely act differently than she said.
In the end, Jian Yu endured it, which made Zhou Jinyan realize that Jian Yu's tolerance for Tang Fu was deeper than he thought. At the same time, he also determined that there must be some kind of connection between Tang Fu and Jian Yu.
At first, he guessed that the medium of contact was the third prince, but it turned out that it was not the case.
Now Zhou Jinyan suddenly felt that none of this mattered, so what about Tang Fu. In the future, it would just be solved if it really happened in front of him.
It was still a big deal to get her married to the third prince. He was willing to give the third prince a chance. After getting married, he should not miss other people's wives, otherwise don't blame him for not caring about family ties.
That night, Jian Yu had a nightmare all night long.
In the carriage, when Zhou Jinyan said that people's hearts have changed over time, she nodded slightly. For some reason, when the other party's eyes lit up when he saw her statement, she suddenly got sweaty.
It was a feeling of being targeted by a wild beast and becoming a prey. It was not just an ordinary prey, it was a prey that was kept in captivity, fattened and then eaten!
Before going to bed, Jian Yu was still thinking about whether there was some sincerity in Zhou Jinyan's words. She didn't feel much about it before, but now after talking to the other person in a non-committal manner, she suddenly felt a strong sense of scheming with the tiger, as if she hadn't noticed. It will be swallowed up by the other party.
Her intuition was very accurate. After she said those words to Zhou Jinyan, his breath suddenly became dangerous.
Zhou Jinyan in the dream was even more terrifying. His hand turned into a vine and could be extended indefinitely. No matter where he was hiding, he would be pulled back to him by his vine hand.
This feeling of her running away and him chasing, unable to fly is quite bad!
When Jian Yu woke up the next day, her whole body was sore! She thought it was because of the dream, but when she opened her eyes, she found that Zhou Jinyan's hand next to her was tightly hugging her waist!
The other person's arm was very long, so there was still some distance between them, but just one arm still made her feel very oppressive!
Jian Yu wanted to turn over and leave, but the other person's arms were like iron bars, and she couldn't move.
She tried her best to lean sideways. This position was very uncomfortable. Jian Yu finally understood why her whole body was sore.
She always likes freedom when sleeping, but she was imprisoned all night yesterday!
Looking at the location, he actually rolled over to Zhou Jinyan's side! He must have been avoiding Teng Man in his dream, so he came here, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a big move while sleeping.
After exhausting all her efforts, Jian Yu finally got up from bed without waking the other party. She tiptoed to the yard and started washing herself with the water Zhou Jinyan had prepared last night.
And was a certain prince really not woken up? The slightly raised corners of his mouth gave him away.
——What happened to a serious couple, following legal procedures, sleeping together?
Prince Jing is not straightforward and strong.
Jian Yu doesn't plan to go out today. She is afraid of missing that person coming to her. One night is enough for a white-haired beggar to deliver the news, right?
In the end, Jian Yu went out because Zhou Jinyan said that if the other party had been silently observing and investigating An for so many years, his identity must be unusual. In order to continue in the future, he would not come rashly and would definitely choose to come at night.
After experiencing the "confession" incident last night, the two of them were actually far less calm than they appeared on the surface.
But these two people are good at acting. One is more calm than the other. The more they look like nothing has happened, the greater the sensation in their hearts will be for the two of them.
As for how restless they were, only the two of them knew.
Jian Yu likes the weather in Qingzhou very much. It's just right for her, neither too cold nor too hot. So after hearing Zhou Jinyan's analysis that people would come at night, Jian Yu thought it made sense and decided to go out.
According to what the prefect said, it would take at least three days to investigate those cases. Jian Yu believed that the prefect did not dare to play tricks. Although it seemed that it was just her and Zhou Jinyan now, it was obvious that there were secret guards in Qingzhou.
If the prefect dares to cause trouble, he is seeking death.
Therefore, during the period of the prefect's investigation, Jian Yu did not have to cooperate with Zhou Jinyan and was relatively relaxed.
And Zhou Jinyan is even more like this. He seems to have really done nothing. The two of them have become hands-off shopkeepers and are inseparable. The main thing here is that Zhou Jinyan is inseparable from Jian Yu.
Just like now, Jian Yu thought that the man would come at night, so she wanted to go shopping and feel the local customs, mainly to try the special snacks.
These are things that Zhou Jinyan was not very interested in before, but now he is following Jian Yu step by step. When Jian Yu said that if you have anything to do, I can go by myself, Zhou Jinyan replied: "Madam, are you going to abandon me?"
The high hat caught Jian Yu off guard and her eyes were filled with stars. She believed that if she said something else to defend herself, the other party might come up with something.
Since he is willing to follow, he should follow. It just so happens that he can buy more styles for himself. If he can’t eat them, give them to Zhou Jinyan!
Wouldn't it be too much to call her Madam? Eat some food that Madam can't eat?
Not too much, not too much at all!
Zhou Jinyan told Jian Yu to buy whatever she wanted to eat, but he would still be there if she couldn't finish it.
It's hard for Jian Yu to understand. What's so happy about this? She probably saw it wrong... maybe the other person didn't smile at all.
There is a special delicacy in Qingzhou called shabu-shabu. Put all kinds of flowers in the sauce and roll them around. They will have different tastes, which is very special.
This is the delicacy that Jian Yu wants to try. The two of them were sitting at the back of the small restaurant. Jian Yu, who was eating a flower in one bite, thought, I wonder if the boss can sell the food. This way of eating is so appetizing, but she will feel unappetizing in the future. When the time comes, you can make this dish and eat it.
Zhou Jinyan on the side also thought the same. Seeing that Jian Yu was eating well, he wanted to buy the recipe from the shopkeeper and ask the cook to make it for Jian Yu when he returned home.
After almost eating, Jian Yu was about to get up and pay, when she looked up and saw two men walking towards the door, sitting right in front of Jian Yu's seat.
She picked up the tea and poured half a cup of it and drank it. She was not in a hurry to pay the bill because the person who came over was the second master of the An family - An Zhe!
An Zhe's expression was a little nervous and awkward, and he didn't seem to have the appetite to eat. Jian Yu focused on the person he was traveling with. This person had a sinister look on his face and looked like he was not a decent person.
Jian Yu was thoughtful, and looked at each other with Zhou Jinyan, understanding each other's meaning.
- Sit a little longer and listen to what they have to say.
