However, Su Jinruo still had important matters to attend to, so before he left the banquet, he took a step back to avoid being called over by him.

In the midst of the crowded space, Su Jinruo stared at Twelfth Prince, and followed him, though it seemed like he did not know what to do.

Twelfth Prince had always been accompanied by eunuchs. Even if Twelfth Prince was not allowed to drink alcohol, Twelfth Prince was not allowed to cause trouble on the way back to the palace.

Su Jinruo calmly smiled. This Twelfth Prince … Seems like he was controlled by Imperial Concubine Rou.

However, was it really useful for Imperial Concubine Rou to detain a prince whose heart was in the palace?

The main hall for the feast was inside the palace, and since Twelfth Prince was a man, his palace was no longer in the rear palace, which was what Su Jinruo wanted it to be.

However …

After all, the distance to leave the palace was limited, and there was no way she could let the Twelfth Prince know that tonight was the day Lian Wu was going to get married.

He couldn't even let anyone doubt her actions.

Su Jinruo raised his eyebrows, after looking at the people around him, he suddenly walked past Twelfth Prince, leaving Twelfth Prince behind.

Her body deliberately bumped into a minister that was part of the Prime Minister Su.

The official frowned. Before he could reprimand, Su Jinruo had already apologized: "Because I have something on my mind, I accidentally injured Chen Sian. I was disrespectful to you, please forgive me."

Seeing that the person who bumped into him was the direct descendant of the Prime Minister Su, Chen Si Qing became amiable and asked Su Jinruo.

"But it was just a slight bump, my body has always been healthy, so of course I won't get in trouble, don't worry City Lord Su, I just heard from City Lord Su that there are matters in your heart, I don't know if you can tell me, maybe I can help you."

Out of the corner of his eye, he made contact with Twelfth Prince's figure. Su Jinruo's lips curled up slightly, but then she quickly hid it.

Maybe Chen Shiqing does not know that there is a Green Mountain in the capital called Drunken Flower House. Don't misunderstand, Chen Sian, this official only wants to say that there is a beautiful and intelligent woman in the Drunken Flower House. She is called Lian Wu, and she is the Courtesan Belle in the Drunken Flower House.

Chen Shiqing looked at Su Jinruo, and did not feel that the person in front of him was a prodigal among hundred flowers, his eyes changed slightly, but he still smiled, and did not say anything, waiting for Su Jinruo to finish.

Seeing that the two words "Lian Wu" had successfully kept the Twelfth Prince at bay, Su Jinruo continued to speak: "The reason why this official was in a hurry and bumped into Chen Saiqing was because this Miss Lian Wu was going to pass on her happiness to him tonight."

"Miss Lian Wu is extremely beautiful, but her zither arts are even better. If this official was able to get hold of this strange girl, I'm afraid that I would have been blessed to hear her play the zither in my entire life, but this official thinks that not only does this official like to listen to other people play the zither, Miss Lian Wu is also incomparably beautiful and talented. Thus, this official's steps would be much faster, so that I wouldn't be unable to meet Miss Lian Wu."

Chen Shiqing stroked his somewhat white beard and laughed out loud: "Right now, the sun is shining brightly. The time that Miss Lian Wu has entrusted her life to is at night, so City Lord Su doesn't need to be so anxious. It's still early, enough time for City Lord Su to leave the palace to meet that strange woman."

Su Jinruo smiled, "If I let Chen Saiqing laugh, then I will take my leave first."

Twelfth Prince looked at Su Jinruo's leaving figure, his face turning ugly.

A woman that this prince hasn't even gotten his hands on yet, a mere subject like you actually dares to compete with this prince? What a joke!

The Twelfth Prince snorted coldly, then spoke to the eunuch monitoring him from behind: "This prince has not seen Consort Mother for many days, today this prince misses Consort Mother. Why don't you all hurry up and lead the way, if you ruin this prince's good fortune, this prince will behead you!"

The eunuch lowered his head in trepidation and said, "Yes, yes, yes.

The Su Jinruo who was always in a hurry suddenly reverted back to her normal pace for some reason. Step by step, she slowly walked out of the golden palace.

The horse carriage slowly drove on, but when it passed by a relatively remote area, Qian Yi's eyes suddenly changed.

Shen Hancheng's indifferent voice came out from the carriage, "Go, help this duke see who the person controlling the situation behind the scenes is."

Qian Yi replied respectfully: "This subordinate understands."

The people who were secretly monitoring Shen Hancheng seemed to have noticed him, and with a turn of his body, he disappeared without a trace.

Qian Yi's expressionless face revealed a cold smile. He jumped up, stepped on the dense weeds, and chased after the person who just escaped.

Inside the carriage, the youth's long, jade-like fingers caressed the jade ring on his thumb, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

After Qian Yi left, in an instant, there was someone who replaced him.

The noble carriage once again began to move slowly.

Qian Yi followed closely along the way. Thinking about it, that person had good escaping skills, Qian Yi had not been able to catch up to him.

After an unknown amount of time, that person suddenly flashed and entered a mansion.

Qian Yi followed him, but stopped in his tracks right under the mansion.

A surprised expression appeared on his face that hadn't changed for a hundred years.

After which, he furrowed his brows, stopped chasing after the person who had escaped, and turned around to leave.

The man was hiding in the darkness. Seeing Qian Yi leaving in shock, his lips curled up under the mask.

He glanced around to make sure no one was watching him, then he stood on his toes and jumped out of the mansion.

A wisp of blue shadow silently landed behind him, neither fast nor slow, like a monkey, leisurely following behind him …

Moon-Viewing Lodge

A gentle breeze blew across the lake, causing ripples to appear on the surface.

Her black hair danced in the wind, and a young man sat upright on a mat. His black robe fluttered in the wind.

His bony fingers fiddled with the strings of the zither, and the melodious and profound sound of the zither slowly drifted out.

Someone knelt down on one knee and greeted respectfully. That person cupped his hands and greeted the lord before saying nothing more.

He lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the youth's face.

The youth's finger lightly moved as he played the zither string, and the zither music curled up in a continuous stream, as if it was extremely tight.

He did not look at the newcomer, but only asked, "How is it?"

"Reporting to our lord, according to your instructions, the letter has already been captured and the Seventh Prince's attention transferred to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The man with the bandana lowered his head and replied, "Master truly has divine foresight, he told the official who caught the letter that during today's banquet, Seventh Prince and that City Lord Su will really move intimately, their actions are so warm and unclear!"

Oh –

The youth slightly raised an eyebrow, then continued: "However, Seventh Prince seems to have been waiting for something. On his way back to the residence, the capturing of the book could clearly sense that Seventh Prince had … Waiting for the capturing letter to appear. "

The young man did not say anything, but only the corner of his mouth had a slight smirk, "My lord, looks like the Seventh Prince is not as powerful as in the legends. He can only wait for you to attack him passively, without any ability to counterattack.

What's more … The capturing of the book had already misled Seventh Prince, allowing him to think that the person who laid the trap for him was the current Prime Minister Su, leaving them to fight until their heads bled, a situation of life and death. At that time, my lord would be even more at ease, but why is my lord still not willing to let those who have looked down on my lord see, your wisdom is unrivaled? "

The youth did not reply, but continued to move his hands. Just as the zither music was moving, he suddenly asked, "Did the people from the Seventh Prince not see you here?"

Capturing the book: "Capturing the book is already confirmed, no one is following him. When the people of Seventh Prince led him to the Prime Minister's residence, he had already turned around and left."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of blades clashing came from outside the Moon Viewing Platform.

It sounded as if someone was fighting with a subordinate that had been assigned outside the Moon-Viewing Small Foundation …

Lu Shu frowned, the zither music was still the same. The youth was calm and composed, but the aura around him gradually became condensed.

"Capture the book," the boy's voice was clear and refined. "You've brought your tail back."

"Master, please calm your anger. Capture the book …" The capturing book had confirmed that no one was following him, but right now, the situation … Please calm your anger, my lord. "

The sound of the book being captured was low, but it was tinged with a sense of panic.

When he was at the Prime Minister's Estate, he had clearly seen the Seventh Prince's guard leave.

"Zheng …" With a sound, the zither music slowly faded away. The youth raised his eyes and indifferently looked at the masked man kneeling on one knee.

An inexplicable pressure swept over, and the head that was originally bent down lowered a bit.

"My lord indeed has a good temper. He doesn't usually speak out to punish people, but …"

Once a subordinate had done something wrong, how could the punishment given by him be a cruel word?!

"I told you a long time ago not to be careless when dealing with Seventh Prince. If the place we meet each other is my residence, wouldn't that expose my identity?" The youth's words came out faintly, "How unfavorable is this situation that I've gone from dark to light? Don't tell me... "Don't you know?!"

If it wasn't for him being extremely careful and saving a hand for when he saw the book being captured, he would have moved the place to an empty courtyard without a trace of his identity.

Otherwise, the Seventh Prince would have guessed his identity by now.

"We know our mistake when we capture the book. Lord, please calm your anger." The lord said that after receiving the envoys from the Chenxi Kingdom, he would meet up with the ministers that were participating in the palace banquet. After confirming the situation, he was instructed to follow the Seventh Prince.

Once they realized that they had been discovered, they would lead them to the Prime Minister's residence, and wait for the people who had left the Seventh Prince to report to them.

He did not know that the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng was such a meticulous person. He thought that he had lost one of the imperial bodyguards, but he did not expect that there would actually be someone following him!

The coldness in the youth's eyes suddenly became clear. His fingers lightly hooked onto the still zither, and a sharp, severe sound attacked the kneeling masked man.

Instantly, the clothes on the arm of the masked man instantly ripped open, and on his skin, a long and narrow wound slowly overflowed with blood.

Lu Shu frowned in pain, but didn't dare to make a sound.

The sounds of the battle outside the Moon-Viewing Small Bridge slowly faded away, and a pleasant and moving zither sound rang out from within the small structure.

A faint smile appeared on the handsome face of the youth. However, a bloodthirsty killing intent was hidden in the depths of his eyes.

"I won't punish you this time. If there's a next time, you can leave on your own."

He understood that leaving was not about leaving his master's side. It was about leaving this world!

Lu Shu nodded, and slowly fell to the ground, revealing his face.

At this moment, one could see that his face was covered in blood. There were a few new wounds on his face, and bright red liquid was seeping out of them. It was a shocking sight to behold.

His tone was humble and respectful, "This subordinate will remember the lord's words!"

The youth had the same smile.

Shen Hancheng, do you dare to make my army your enemy?

[Do you really think that you are the only one who knows how to guess the next step for the others?]

Suddenly, the young man's black hair fluttered in the air as he said: "Doesn't he like to walk with Su Jinruo? No matter if it's an act he's putting on, or if it's true, I have to make him into … It's a fake show! "

"Master, you mean …"

"I want him to truly, truly love Su Jinruo, love a man!"
