Chapter 180： A woman who grows at the top of the criteria for choosing a wife

Chapter 180 The woman who grows up at the top of the criteria for choosing a wife

For the next whole day, Chu Nanzhi was restless. While thinking about the fish fry, he also thought about Sun Wuji's case.

After lunch, she sat down quietly on the edge of a cliff not far from the village, looked down at the river rushing down in the distance, listened to the sound of the surging waves, and slowly fell into meditation .

After an unknown amount of time, I suddenly heard the sound of crumbling footsteps behind me.

She turned her head, only to see a pair of jet-black eyes shining brightly, staring at herself quietly.

"What makes you so sad?"

The person coming towards me was Xie Jingchen.

He walked slowly to Chu Nanzhi and sat down, turned his face to her and smiled slightly: "I heard that you have been sitting here all afternoon."

Chu Nanzhi returned a warm smile, picked up a stone and threw it hard into the distance.

Afterwards, he glanced at him helplessly, and said slowly, "You are with me."

Just as she was about to say the word "husband", she stopped immediately.

It's really hard to define the relationship between myself and Lin Jinxiao, so I had to turn around and say: "It's very similar to a person I know, with a stubborn temper and loves to be brave."

"You mean your husband, right?"

Xie Jingchen glanced at her with a wry smile. Under the setting sun, his golden cheeks looked extraordinarily charming: "It seems that your husband is also a resolute, courageous and charming man."

"You are pretty good at it."

Chu Nanzhi scoffed angrily, even in such a state of desperation, she still didn't forget to boast about herself on the sidelines.

Xie Jingchen sneered inadvertently, looked into the distance with desolate eyes, and asked sadly, "Why are you so interested in Nanhua Temple?"

Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi turned her head calmly, her eyes were soft and quietly sized up this handsome and picturesque face, guessing that he probably wanted to fulfill the promise, she answered bluntly: "As entrusted by others, it is a matter of loyalty."

Xie Jingchen immediately understood, and said frankly: "It's okay to tell you about this, but it may not be of any benefit to you."

"Knowing more things is not necessarily a bad thing."

Chu Nanzhi pursed the corners of her lips calmly, turned her head and continued to look at the rushing river in the distance.

Xie Jingchen knew that he couldn't say anything about this beautiful woman, so he could only compromise and said, "How much do you know about Jingling City?"

Know nothing.

Chu Nanzhi almost said it. Apart from knowing that there is an emperor and high-ranking princes and ministers living in Jingling City, the rest of the information in the memory is that there is a respected queen mother and empress dowager in the palace.

Xie Jingchen saw the embarrassment on her face, and said to himself: "Twenty-two years ago, there was a shocking palace change in Jingling City. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

Chu Nanzhi shook her head blankly.

Not to mention that the original owner was not yet born at that time, even if it happened now, something like this, which is related to the face of the royal family, may not be easily spread to the lower classes, so as not to stir up people's hearts.

Xie Jingchen smiled: "That's right, how can you know what's going on between the upper-level royal families of your empire if you spend all day playing around in the village like you do?"

There was some irony in his tone.

Chu Nanzhi glanced over angrily, Xie Jingchen immediately turned a blind eye and continued:

"Twenty-two years ago, Lin Ting'an, the former prince of the Dahe Empire, was given poison and wine to die in the East Palace because he was jealous of Emperor Chonghua. In the past, many humerus important ministers lost their official titles and retired. Afterwards, Emperor Chonghua learned that he had believed the rumors. The eldest princess escaped through the Taoist gate."

Hearing this, Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized, and finally understood why Chang Lao and Nie Lao lived in seclusion in the village. It turned out that they were implicated in the matter of the former prince.

As the mentor of the former prince Lin Luoan, the then prince and Taifu, Chang Lao couldn't help but feel disheartened after encountering such a horrible incident. No wonder Lin Jinxiao said that Jingling City was the place of sadness for the two elders.

Xie Jingchen said again: "What is puzzling is that before the Emperor Daxing of Nanhua Temple took the throne, he did not pass the throne to his other two sons-in-law, but summoned it to the Qinghe clan, so that the Qinghe clan Leading all the nobles into King Jingqin and killing his own son, you say it's ridiculous."

"Ridiculous, ridiculous."

Chu Nanzhi looked sideways full of resentment, and looked at his gloating face, which was really disgusting: "So this is why you risked your life to sneak into Nanhua Temple? Just to get these conversations for people's entertainment?"

"I'm not that good at leisure and elegance."

Xie Jingchen casually picked up a stone and threw it lightly: "I want to find out about something."

"What is it?"

Xie Jingchen smiled evilly: "It is said that after the death of the former prince Lin Ting'an, there was an unborn posthumous son living among the people. Of course, this news is not accurate, so I wanted to go to the Nanhua Temple to inquire about it."

"What are you doing asking about these?"

As soon as the words came out, Chu Nanzhi gradually realized that something was wrong, and asked anxiously: "Could it be that you have ulterior motives, what are your plans?"

"I can have any intentions, but I just want to know more about the interesting facts about the Lin royal family."

Xie Jingchen said with a mysterious smile: "Let me tell you another interesting thing. Just after the Qinghe clan entered King Jingqin, the new emperor who received the edict of the Zen position was assassinated on the way to the ceremony. Died before ascending to the throne, such a horrible thing can happen in a dignified capital, do you think it is an unbelievable thing, and then you have to rashly support the young emperor Lin Jinsheng."

Xie Jingchen mentioned this, Chu Nanzhi roughly guessed his intention to go to Nanhua Temple, and first confirmed: "Are you from Baiyu?"

Xie Jingchen looked shocked: "How did you find out?"

Chu Nanzhi frowned and smiled lightly: "You said it yourself in Nanhua Guan last time."

"You don't want to lie to me, I didn't say that."

Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and said with a slight smile: "Hook kisses mostly grow in humid and warm places. They are not resistant to low temperatures and are afraid of high temperatures. Naturally, those places that meet these conditions will breed more in places that go south. Last time You say that your hometown is full of these kinds of plants, then your hometown must be in the extreme south, and that is not the boundary of the Baiyu ten clans."

"As expected of a woman who grew up at the top of my criteria for choosing a wife."

Xie Jingchen shook his head and sighed.

I didn't expect this woman to be able to infer her own background from this matter. She was really smart, so she had to admit it convincingly: "You guessed right, I am indeed from Bai Yu."

"Since that's the case, let me guess why you fell into such a mess."

Chu Nanzhi glanced over with burning eyes: "If my guess is correct, you were injured this time because you were chased and killed by Princess Shu's people, which made you so embarrassed that you almost lost your life."

"How did you find out?"

Being hit directly by her, Xie Jingchen once again showed a shocked expression on his calm and tranquil face.
