Capítulo 2360: Chapter 2357: Master Yuanhe

Spent some time talking with Chu Ziluo in the guest room.

“Have you been tired from learning etiquette lately?” Li Chongjin’s 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, “Not tired. Learning this benefits me too. I hear you’re leaving the capital with Hetu and others tomorrow?”

“Yes.” 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.

“Don’t worry, the guards are very safe. This time Hetu won’t have another chance to act against me.” 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.

“Be extra careful.” Chu Ziluo knew she couldn’t be of much help, and Li Chongjin, being a Prince, certainly didn’t lack guards. She could only remind him to show concern.

“By the way, this is for you.” Before leaving, Li Chongjin handed her the sandalwood box.

Chu Ziluo took it and, seeing that he didn’t stop her, directly reached out to open it, and was greeted by an ancient-looking jade bracelet.

“Why did you suddenly think of giving me jewelry?” Chu Ziluo asked casually, expressing her inner curiosity without thinking too much.

Li Chongjin smiled lightly, “This was left by the Late Empress for my wife. I hope you like it. From now on, we are family.”

“This…” 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: “Such preciousness, giving it to me…”

At this moment, Chu Ziluo’s feelings were complex. Although she had a good impression of Li Chongjin, she didn’t feel they could achieve the same feelings as her mother and father.

It’s 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 doesn’t involve emotions, there’s no room for delusion. Currently, peaceful coexistence allows her to get what she wants without owing too much to Li Chongjin.

“You will be my Principal Wife in the future. This bracelet will only remain in your hands.” 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, “If that’s the case, I’ll accept it. I will surely preserve it with care.”

“Alright.” Li Chongjin nodded.

After glancing at the sky and seeing it wasn’t 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.

“Aunt Su Mei, can Mother’s people help keep an eye on Minister Qi’s Mansion, King Qi’s mansion, and the Zheng Family?”

“Sure, the lady instructed me that whatever the young miss needs, we can assist.” Su Mei understood her meaning after a brief thought and nodded.

Chu Ziluo then spoke about Li Chongjin’s 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.

It’s 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, “Ah Heng… Ah Heng…”
