Chapter 159 Before
"Aren't you going to ask me why I only chose him as the fourth place?" Zhao Changyu leaned towards Jiang Yunxi.
"I know he didn't use his real name to take the exam. If His Majesty had selected him as one of the top three, someone would have accused him of deceiving the emperor. This is the best way forward."
Zhao Changyu knew that Jiang Yunxi understood him.
He raised the corner of his mouth somewhat proudly.
"Acai has won a few small victories in the south. But you have been exchanging letters, so I think you should know about it." Zhao Changyu said with a smile.
"If Your Majesty minds my correspondence with him, I will not write to him in the future. There is nothing else in the letter, it's just a normal greeting." Jiang Yunxi was asking about Zhao Changyu's attitude.
Hearing her words, Zhao Changyu was a little discouraged. "You don't need to ask me about your correspondence. I won't read the content of your correspondence, nor will I stop you from communicating. They are just some family letters. Aren't you being too cautious?"
With the experience of the previous life, Jiang Yunxi felt that it was never too cautious.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." Jiang Yunxi said politely.
"Can't we talk like we used to? Yunxi, you don't have to be polite in every word you say." Zhao Changyu frowned at her.
Jiang Yunxi looked at him, somewhat puzzled, "How did you talk before?"
"Okay, okay." Zhao Changyu thought, "You're the only one who knows how to make me angry."
"The medicine is ready." Jiang Yunxi was about to lift the lid when Zhao Changyu tapped her lightly, and she subconsciously retracted her hand.
"Don't you know it's hot?" Zhao Changyu's tone was full of helplessness. He held the cloth, barely blocking the heat, opened the lid, and asked Jiang Yunxi, "Is it ready?"
Jiang Yunxi stirred it with a spoon and nodded, "Okay."
Zhao Changyu was stunned for a moment, as if she felt that the moment just now was the most common scene in their ordinary life. They sat around the stove, he cooked, and she tasted the food to see if it was to her liking.
He poured the medicine into a bowl, then carried the tray himself, walked beside Jiang Yunxi, and went to Jiang Xueyi's bedroom together.
Jiang Xueyi watched them walking towards her, her smile reaching her ears.

"The Supreme Court is planning to search and confiscate the mansion of the Duke of Zhenguo?" When Jiang Yunxi saw the news, he immediately stood up, tied on his cloak, and ordered the carriage to be harnessed.
When the news reached Zhao Changyu, he stood up subconsciously, "Where is she going?"
"Our people have been following. But... looking at the direction, it should be the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
"Jiang Youcai is not here, so why would she go? She can't be going to find Jiang Nianbai, right?" Zhao Changyu was about to leave.
Feng Gou immediately stopped him, "If the princess knew that you have been monitoring her, she would be followed every time she leaves the palace, and she would be unhappy. After all, Nan Nan is not with her now, she will not run away."
Feng Gou was the one who could best understand Zhao Changyu's thoughts.
Zhao Changyu paused.
A secret letter arrived, and Feng Gou said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Court surrounded the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, saying they wanted to arrest the imperial criminal."
Zhao Changyu glanced at Feng Gou and sneered, "The Tingwei Mansion is getting more and more daring. Feng Gou, you go, if she is in any danger, come out and protect her."
"Will I be safe? Your Majesty, you are too partial to one and unfair to the other." Feng Gou pursed his lips and muttered softly.
"What did you say?" Zhao Changyu didn't hear clearly what he said.
"I, I, I...I'll go now!" Feng Gou ran away.
