Tricking Him

Chu Zhiyuan walked along the main street, his thoughts tangled.

In the end, it had come to this.

He had originally thought to help the Jade Scenery Dynasty as much as he could.

After all, he was the Jade Scenery Dynasty's Ninth Prince. The Jade Scenery Dynasty was his root.

That was, provided he did not put himself in danger.

But now he realized he had thought too beautifully. The Jade Scenery Dynasty wanted even more.

He had no choice. If he did not want to become their puppet, he could only do this.

When he returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion, Li Miaotan was practicing her swordsmanship in the courtyard.

Her sword light was like snow, and her graceful figure was enchanting.

Seeing him return, she halted her sword form and cast him a curious glance.

Chu Zhiyuan nodded lightly. "The message has already been sent back."

No one from the Phoenix Dynasty was watching him, nor was anyone watching Chu Hongwei.

No one watched Chu Hongwei because his disguise and transformation arts were superb and flawless. No one could keep an eye on him.

No one watched him because it did not matter. They did not care what he did.

Or was it because of Li Miaotan?

"Mother has sent word. We only need to go over tomorrow."

"Imperial Consort really agreed?"

"I said I wasn't feeling well. Delaying it by a day is nothing."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "You shouldn't have hidden it from Imperial Consort. She will find out eventually, and she is bound to be angry."

"Then let her be angry." Li Miaotan smiled unconcernedly.

Chu Zhiyuan said with feeling, "It really makes one envious."

Li Miaotan smiled. "Sometimes it's quite vexing... Eldest Brother sent over another two bottles of Azure Nether Spirit Dew."
