Zhou Chenghan raised his eyebrows slightly, and after understanding the meaning of her words, he couldn't help laughing.
"Nan Feng, your wife is really interesting. If you hadn't married her first, I might have become one of them and competed with you for the young lady."
The corners of Lin Qingge's mouth twitched, feeling that Zhou Chenghan was indeed extraordinary.
Chu Nanfeng's face was obviously very ugly, but he was still talking about whether he had something or not. Did he really think that Chu Nanfeng wouldn't slap him?
Thinking of Zhou Chengzhang's fear of Chu Nanfeng, she was very doubtful about this.
I'm afraid Chu Nanfeng had beaten Zhou Chengzhang many times before.
Now that the seventh prince has been beaten, will the third prince be beaten far away?
She suddenly cast a very sympathetic look at Zhou Chenghan, and at the same time silently lit a candle for him in her heart.
"Your Highness, does he know what he said?" Chu Nanfeng's voice was as cold as the cold air outside the carriage, or even a bit colder.
Fortunately, Zhou Chenghan is not Su Yunting. He always thinks that the matter is not big enough when watching the excitement.
At the moment, he did not continue to provoke, but extended the topic just now: "Don't be so excited. Beautiful and capable women are not uncommon, but Zhou Chengzhang will not fall in love with someone because of these two points."
Loving someone is inherently harsh, let alone someone from the royal family who wants to compete for power.
For people like Zhou Chengzhang, their hearts have long been filled with the desire for power, so where is the room for anything else?
Under such circumstances, he actually showed his deep love for Lin Qingge. It is difficult not to make people doubt his purpose.
Lin Qingge frowned slightly and turned to look at the man beside him.
After seeing his thoughtful expression, she continued: "He is indeed very strange. When my husband was still in a coma, he went to the general's mansion to put pressure on my grandmother and asked for Li Shu and me. Speaking of which, I I am also really curious about what he is planning. Your Highness is always smart, why don’t you analyze it?"
"Now that the young lady has said so, I will be disrespectful."
There was still a gentle smile on his face, and his words were unhurried: "When he was young, he was severely beaten by Nan Feng because he did not behave properly. Therefore, he has an almost instinctive feeling towards Nan Feng. Afraid. But he dares to show his kindness to you so blatantly and ignore Nan Feng... Tsk, it's very likely that being with you will be of infinite help to his future."
"For example?" Lin Qingge asked.
"Maybe he already knows about you and the Su family."
"One Su family is not enough to control the entire Zhou Dynasty, right?" She was a little disappointed and asked in a perfunctory manner.
She had discussed it with Chu Nanfeng before, and they both suspected that her identity was related to a prophecy that had been circulated in the palace.
I originally thought that maybe Zhou Chenghan might know something, but it turned out to be such a random guess.
Sensing her dissatisfaction, he didn't care, and the smile on his face did not diminish at all: "What his purpose is, you will find out soon. When all his trump cards are revealed, does he have any other options?"
"When do you want to take action?" Chu Nanfeng suddenly said.
Zhou Chenghan raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to advance?"
"yes."
A faint word is not very decisive, but there is even less room for twists and turns.
Lin Qingge knew in his heart that Zhou Chengzhang's performance just now had touched Chu Nanfeng's objections.
Who can bear to watch others confess their feelings to their significant other?
If it were her, Gao Luo would go over and give the other party a few slaps to make him realize who he was robbing!
But Zhou Chengzhang is the prince after all, and Chu Nanfeng is not allowed to do radical things openly.
Then he could only act in private so that Zhou Chengzhang would never have the chance to talk nonsense.
Hey, I can only say that if you don't do it, you will die.
…
In the next few days, Lin Qingge was still busy.
This natural disaster was a God-given opportunity for Chu Nanfeng and Zhou Chengzhang, but the thought of Lin Qingge, the victim of the disaster, made them feel particularly intolerable.
She couldn't change God's arrangements, she could only try her best to do what she could.
After the last batch of supplies was sent to the northwest for Su Yunting's caravan, she finally had time to rest.
But just as she took a sip of tea, Shi Qi rushed in: "Young Madam! Young Madam! Come out and have a look, something big has happened!"
Lin Qingge glanced at him, drank a few more sips of tea, and then said slowly: "What? Your tail was stepped on?"
"Tail?" He was stunned for a moment and then said, "Oh, what kind of tail? Madam, it is King Qi who wants to donate supplies to the northwest."
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"He personally donated 150,000 taels of silver, and it was real silver!"
One hundred and fifty thousand taels is not a small amount.
But when you think about the blackmail Zhou Chengzhang took, it was nothing.
She narrowed her eyes: "How do you know?"
"Everyone knows! He will personally send this batch of silver to the northwest, and Your Majesty will personally send him out of the city."
Emperor Zhou originally liked Zhou Chengzhang, and the previous suppressions were just a sign of resentment. Now that he had such an opportunity to show his face, he naturally had to work hard.
But letting him go at this time would make it clear that he would postpone his engagement with Liu Yun. So what should the Liu family do?
I'm afraid Liu Yun will burst into tears!
"Young Madam, what are you thinking about? Don't you want to go and have a look? Almost everyone in the city has gone to see him off."
"The whole city? That's great." Lin Qingge's lips curved into a smile, then she frowned slightly and said in a dissatisfied voice, "The matter is so complicated, and Chu Nanfeng didn't even intend to notify me?"
She hummed softly, and did not leave the house immediately. Instead, she returned to the bedroom, changed into men's clothes, and put on a mask before going out.
"Young Madam, why are you dressed like this?" Shi Qi exclaimed.
"Just follow me secretly. Don't get too close to me. I have something to arrange."
Walking all the way outside the city, Lin Qingge was very moved.
It had just snowed and the weather was very cold, but all the people in the city spontaneously went outside the city to see him off.
What they sent was not Zhou Chengzhang, but peace and unity.
Under the secret protection of Sixteen and Seventeen, she easily squeezed to the front, and saw at a glance what Emperor Zhou was telling Zhou Chengzhang, with a loving face.
She glanced around the field, but found that neither Chu Nanfeng nor Zhou Chenghan was there.
How can this drama continue without them?
Still feeling suspicious, he noticed a commotion among the people transporting supplies.
Immediately afterwards, the people in the escort rushed towards Emperor Zhou: "Your Majesty, there is a problem with the supplies! The weight of the gold and silver is wrong, it is too light!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The eyes of the people who were quite worried and expectant just now changed immediately.
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for the people! Natural disasters still have manpower, but if man-made disasters occur, we will only die!"
