Seeing Shen Muchen set out to the bed and about to close the window, Chu Qingyan turned around and hid in the darkness at the corner of the wall in a sensitive manner. Through the window, she could only see them, but could not hear the sound.

After more than ten minutes, she found nothing, and Qingyan had to give up and leave in disappointment.

On the way back to the palace, Chu Qingyan was very upset.

Recalling the days when she was nearly twenty years after her birth, she learned to be careful and guard against her everywhere. Under her father's guidance, she had long been used to the days when she did not show her emotions and struggled with others.

But today, Li Wanli's appearance made her, who never panic, feel a sense of crisis for the first time.

Before the death of the old emperor, Shen Mu Chen had never had any deep interactions with other women. Moreover, he once told Chu Qingyan that he had been busy with state affairs all day long, so why did he still have time to think about the relationship between men and women?

When I saw this today, facing the girl, Chu Qingyan actually saw a smile on Shen Muchen's face that she had never seen before.

Thinking of this, Chu Qingyan remembered that the day Shen Mu Chen was handling official documents. When he lowered his head and was busy with official business, he answered that he did have a perfunctory reply, "Shen Mu Chen, you liar..."

After returning to Zhuxing Palace, the hour of Xu had passed, and according to the work and rest time in the palace, it was bedtime.

Chu Qingyan did not rest, but sat on the bed and did nothing.

Bai Lian asked many times about what he had born without any reply.

The more she was alone, the more dazed she looked, and even her eyes gradually became hazy with tears.

Chu Qingyan was cold and silent. Bai Qi once joked with Qingyan that the county lord would not panic even if he fell down. But today, this was the first time Bai Qi had such a big reaction when he saw her and was really worried.

The time for a cup of tea has passed, and half an hour has passed. Bai Lian was worried that long-term depression would cause illness, so she used Chu Qingyan's favorite tea leaves to make tea and placed it on the pear blossom tree in front of Chu Qingyan. Bai Lian's tea making skills are very good, and the water temperature is always just right every time.

The fragrance of tea floated out and spread out inside the house.

The faint heat tumbled and disappeared into the air, blurring Chu Qingyan's eyes.

"County Lord... If there is really something, don't hold it in your heart. It's good to talk to Bai Lian..."

Bai Yi felt pain in his eyes and his heart. Every time the county lord felt distressed, it was because of Shen Muchen. But even so, the county lord could adjust himself and recover quickly. But every time, there was no time that was as sad as tonight.

"Bai La" Chu Qingyan's eyes were still staring at a dot in front, and her lips slightly incited, "Is Your Highness back?"

Bai Qi looked out the window and nodded. She told Qingyan and Muchen that he had returned to the palace half an hour ago.

Qingyan whispered softly, untied her clothes, as if she had never given birth before.

"Preparing for me, I'll go home tomorrow." She said this and glanced at the elegant and simple clothes hanging on the wooden hanger. "Send this clothes to the needle office and ask them to make another one according to this and wear them on my birthday."

"Yes" Bai Qi took the clothes off the shelf and carefully folded it up and took it out of the house.

It was early morning of the next day.

Chu Qingyan took the reason for returning to her parents' home early in the morning with the order given by Shen Zitian to the palace gate to prepare to leave the palace.

This time, it was very strange to say that the emperor's fiancée went back to his parents' home. First, he did not tell his fiancée about this matter directly. Second, when he went there, Chu Qingyan only brought his personal maid Bai Lian, and the rest did not follow him. However, no one dared to question the cards given by Shen Zitian, and even if he had any questions, he turned a blind eye and followed her out.

Along the way, the carriage crossed the avenue, and the horse's hooves stepped back to the Chu family.

The carriage was rushing quickly and was just steadily in front of the Chu family's mansion. A man with excellent figure walked out of the mansion. This person was Chu Hongyang, the second young master of the Chu family.

When Chu Hongyang was very young, he had a very poor bones. At that time, not only did he not have any friends who were willing to play with him, but he kept neglecting him. Over time, Chu Hongyang became a veritable gourd.

My father stayed in the foreign land all year round, and even after he returned home, he stayed in the study all day long and rarely cared about it.

In his eyes, his mother, who has been away from home for a long time, has never been pampered with him.

On the contrary, Chu Qingyan, who was the eldest sister, protected her since childhood, and Ichigo protected her for fifteen years before she could grow up so physically and mentally healthy. In this way, his affection for her elder sister was far greater than that for her parents.

Chu Hongyang was about to go out, but as soon as he got off the two steps, he heard the sound of horse hooves. He looked up and saw that Chu Qingyan was the one who got off the carriage and immediately smiled and helped his sister to get off the carriage.

"I haven't been home for so long, my father will definitely be very happy." Before he finished speaking, Chu Hongyang's eyes moved to Bai Lian, who had just got off the carriage. She did not carry a lot of luggage. Hongyang's eyes drooped slightly and felt disappointed. He laughed dryly, "Is there anything wrong with my elder sister coming back?"

Qingyan cooperated with a faint smile.

"Hongyang" She suddenly leaned over and grabbed Hongyang's arm with one hand.

"Are you here?" Her expression was very serious, and even her expression lost her usual calmness.

Chu Hongyang nodded

"It's windy outside and come in quickly."

Qingyan was in a hurry to wear a little while on her body. Chu Hongyang took off her coat and put it on Qingyan, hugged her and stepped into Chu's mansion.

Chu Qingyan returned to the mansion and did not return to her room, but instead put on Hongyang's coat and ran directly to Chu Shaodong's study.

Chu Shaodong was sitting on the desk and flipping through the book, and the voice of a maid came from outside the door.

"Miss~"

As the maid's voice fell, the door of the study room was pushed open with a creaking sound, and a red dress was slid across the wooden sill.

Chu Shaodong raised his head and closed the door.

"Father~" Chu Qingyan walked to the desk softly.

"But there is something strange in the palace?" Chu Shaodong did not look directly at her and just closed the book. Once she closed it, a few more dust appeared in the sun.

"No," Qingyan replied, "but... my daughter has seen something strange."

Chu Shaodong raised his eyes to Qingyan, nodded and signaled her to continue.

"My daughter has recently seen that His Highness Chen often sneaks into Qingguan Temple late at night. Qingguan Temple has never dared to do business. This time..." Chu Qingyan paused, "I'm afraid there is something conspiracy."

Chu Qingyan added some content to the incident of Shen Muchen going to see Li Wanli in the middle of the night and forced himself to say that it was the meaning of meeting the traitor Zai Yangcheng late at night.
