Seeing Zhou Chen's reaction, Zhou Ruo couldn't help but speak faster: "There are many different opinions about the eldest prince's life experience. According to the time calculation, at that time..."

"Your Highness!" Zhou Chen interrupted Zhou Ruo and said coldly, "I am not allowed to discuss matters related to the royal family. I have something else to do. I will leave first."

Zhou Ruo pursed her lips and said in a deep voice: "My cousin has been with His Majesty since he was still a prince. Regarding that Miss Lu..."

"Your Highness!" Zhou Chen's voice was already a little annoyed, and he suppressed his anger and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Your Highness, please do as you please."

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly without caring about Zhou Ruo's expression.

After walking quite a distance, Zhou Chen looked back with a look of fear on his face. Seeing that Zhou Ruo had not caught up with him, he patted his chest and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that I can't associate with this sister anymore... She is a very smart person, how could she be so confused?"

Zhou Chen said this as he walked away, shaking his head.

Half an hour later, Zhou Chen arrived at where the envoys lived.

He had already thought about how to get rid of these envoys and cover up the matter, but when they arrived, the envoys suddenly changed their attitude.

"Master Zhou, who is that woman today? Can we see her again?"

"Yeah, can we see her again?"

Zhou Chen couldn't help but frowned when he heard their somewhat strange request. He said in a deep voice: "I have already reported this to His Majesty, and His Majesty also said that it was you..."

"We are not going to hold that woman responsible," one of the envoys interrupted Zhou Chen and said anxiously, "We were indeed wrong in that matter, but we are no longer going to hold her responsible. Now, we just want to see her again."

Zhou Chen: "...what did you see her for?"

The envoys looked at each other, and then one of them said, "That woman is exactly the one in the painting of our Second Prince."

Chen Zhou:"……"

He suddenly remembered that Tuoba Xuan once hand-painted a portrait of a woman, saying that the person in the painting was the one he fell in love with at first sight. As long as the court could find this person, Tuoba Xuan would agree to peace talks, and the conditions offered were extremely generous.

The person in the painting was indeed Lin Jiuqing, but with a mole added at the corner of his eye.

Such a long time has passed, and Mo Xiao is almost ready. Seeing that the big thing is about to be accomplished, who still remembers the little thing that happened in order to delay time?

Zhou Chen didn't expect that these envoys, in their desperation, would actually bring up this matter.

Coincidentally, they met Lin Jiuqing today.

"Up to now, many things have been almost settled, except for the approval of my Second Prince. His Highness has no other request, only this girl. Therefore, I would like to ask Lord Zhou to help us meet this girl first."

The envoys spoke politely.

Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone: "You may have been dazzled and recognized the wrong person. That woman is the most beloved Concubine Chen of His Majesty, not the person in your Highness's painting."

"Impossible," one of the envoys said firmly, "I have a photographic memory. I remember clearly that the person in the painting of our prince is the woman from that day."

"Mr. Zhou, what is your intention in obstructing the peace talks between the two countries?"

"That is, if the two countries go to war, can you take responsibility, Lord Zhou?"
