CapĂtulo 2360: Chapter 2357: Master Yuanhe
Spent some time talking with Chu Ziluo in the guest room.
âHave you been tired from learning etiquette lately?â Li Chongjinâs voice was gentle. Compared to his usual cold and reticent demeanor towards others, he showed significantly more warmth in front of Chu Ziluo.
Chu Ziluo shook her head, âNot tired. Learning this benefits me too. I hear youâre leaving the capital with Hetu and others tomorrow?â
âYes.â He did not hide this matter, and he even brought guards with him in a high-profile manner, with tight security, and his people will face multiple checks this time.
Due to the high-profile declaration, he can warn some people to abandon the idea of acting against him.
âDonât worry, the guards are very safe. This time Hetu wonât have another chance to act against me.â Li Chongjin thought of the incident involving Chu Heng, frowned slightly, felt that the situation was not ideal, and wondered if it was an accident or human-induced back then.
âBe extra careful.â Chu Ziluo knew she couldnât be of much help, and Li Chongjin, being a Prince, certainly didnât lack guards. She could only remind him to show concern.
âBy the way, this is for you.â Before leaving, Li Chongjin handed her the sandalwood box.
Chu Ziluo took it and, seeing that he didnât stop her, directly reached out to open it, and was greeted by an ancient-looking jade bracelet.
âWhy did you suddenly think of giving me jewelry?â Chu Ziluo asked casually, expressing her inner curiosity without thinking too much.
Li Chongjin smiled lightly, âThis was left by the Late Empress for my wife. I hope you like it. From now on, we are family.â
âThisâŠâ Chu Ziluo was indeed surprised.
She initially thought it was an ordinary gift, but it suddenly carried the weight of Mount Tai, making her feel valued and increasingly uneasy at heart: âSuch preciousness, giving it to meâŠâ
At this moment, Chu Ziluoâs feelings were complex. Although she had a good impression of Li Chongjin, she didnât feel they could achieve the same feelings as her mother and father.
Itâs just that both are harmonious and can trust each other. Moreover, Li Chongjin is a Prince, and she would not be the only one in the future. She could respect each other with courtesy but might not be able to reach total harmony.
After all, as long as it doesnât involve emotions, thereâs no room for delusion. Currently, peaceful coexistence allows her to get what she wants without owing too much to Li Chongjin.
âYou will be my Principal Wife in the future. This bracelet will only remain in your hands.â Li Chongjin looked at her, his gaze piercing, as if he could see through her inner thoughts.
Chu Ziluo awkwardly averted her gaze and smiled gently, âIf thatâs the case, Iâll accept it. I will surely preserve it with care.â
âAlright.â Li Chongjin nodded.
After glancing at the sky and seeing it wasnât early, he took his leave.
Left the Chu family.
Chu Ziluo watched him leave.
After standing firm for a while, she sent someone to call Su Mei over.
âAunt Su Mei, can Motherâs people help keep an eye on Minister Qiâs Mansion, King Qiâs mansion, and the Zheng Family?â
âSure, the lady instructed me that whatever the young miss needs, we can assist.â Su Mei understood her meaning after a brief thought and nodded.
Chu Ziluo then spoke about Li Chongjinâs arrangement with Hetu for the next day.
Su Mei had always had people keeping an eye on those who had a feud with the Chu family, not just these residences but also their people.
Itâs just that sometimes manpower falls short, and mistakes are inevitable.
Early the next day.
Ye Muyu woke from his sleep.
His brow furrowed, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
He softly called out, âAh Heng⊠Ah HengâŠâ
