"If this is the case, then the situation is not bad." Chu Huanyan said softly.

Xian Yue looked at her young lady in confusion, "Miss, is there any other reason?"

If His Highness the Crown Prince fails to suppress the bandits, then the Emperor can take the opportunity to suppress His Highness the Crown Prince and support the third prince. Apart from this, she really can't think of any other reason.

Chu Huanyan sighed slowly, "I hope I'm overthinking."

She had just recently learned of Jiang Zhou's whereabouts. At this juncture, it was really hard for her not to think too much about transferring Xiao Jinzhi away from the imperial city.

Fortunately, the person in the dark never showed up. Even if Emperor Xiao had any suspicions, he probably wouldn't directly use the opportunity of suppressing bandits to deal with Xiao Jinzhi.

Since he has endured it for so many years, Emperor Xiao should not take action rashly before he is completely sure. Of course, Emperor Xiao's failure to take action does not mean that others will not take action.

Xiao Rongxuan probably won't miss this good opportunity.

Chu Huanyan thought intently, and after half a cup of tea, she stood up and left the room, and asked someone to prepare a carriage to go to the Prince's Mansion.

When he arrived, Xiao Jinzhi had just met the generals who would set out together to cooperate with the bandits this time. When he saw Chu Huanyan coming over, he instantly smiled.

"Worried about me?" Xiao Jinzhi said in a leisurely tone, holding Chu Huanyan's hand.

Chu Huanyan nodded, "I am indeed a little worried."

"After the morning session today, I went to the royal study room. I did a little testing while talking. It probably didn't lead to the discovery that we were investigating what happened back then. As for setting out to suppress the bandits, it was most likely that they wanted me to miss the next Spring Festival. ." Xiao Jinzhi's tone was soothing.

"Chun Wei?" Chu Huanyan was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I forgot about this."

The imperial court will soon hold the Spring Festival, and the students from Chunwei High School will enter the imperial court and become the new blood of the imperial court.

This kind of moment is often the perfect moment to recruit help. Students who have just entered the court are cautious and confused. If someone offers an olive branch to them at this time, they will most likely accept it.

If Xiao Jinzhi is not in the court, Xiao Rongxuan can take this opportunity to train and win over new courtiers, thereby gaining a new power.

It seemed that Emperor Xiao could no longer sit still as he saw that the situation in the court was becoming more and more favorable to Xiao Jinzhi, and began to think of ways to help Xiao Rongxuan develop his strength.

"So you don't have to worry. It's just that I'm not in the imperial city during this period, so you have to be more careful. Although I have sent people to keep an eye on Xiao Rongxuan, there is no guarantee that everything will go wrong after all. You must be careful." Xiao Jinzhi paused. After a moment, he looked at Qin Li who was standing not far away, "Qin Li will stay. No matter what you have to do, you can leave it to him."

"No." Chu Huanyan immediately shook her head, "Qin Li can't stay, you take him with you."

Although suppressing bandits was not as good as fighting on the battlefield, it was still dangerous. Qin Li stayed by Xiao Jinzhi's side, so she felt relieved.

"Yanyan, I..."

"You must bring Qin Li with you." Chu Huanyan interrupted Xiao Jinzhi, "I won't have any big problems in the imperial city. Even if Xiao Rongxuan wants to take action, as long as he can't find a reason, he will not rashly What to do. And I'm afraid that most of his thoughts will be on Chunwei, and he won't be able to care about me, not to mention there are people secretly protecting me."

Xiao Jinzhi looked at Chu Huanyan, and the look on the other person's face clearly told him that this was not negotiable.

Xiao Jinzhi smiled helplessly, nodded and said: "Okay, I will take Qin Li there with me. Don't worry, I will seize the time and come back soon, but before that, don't do anything else." Just in case.”

"I understand." Chu Huanyan nodded in agreement.

Because Cuiheng Mountain is far away from the imperial city, and the bandits are causing fear to the surrounding people, the suppression of the bandits cannot be delayed without delay.

Two days later, Xiao Jinzhi set off with his team.

At the gate of the imperial city, Chu Huanyan looked at the retreating team, feeling vaguely uneasy in her heart.

Although she had personally watched Xiao Jinzhi arrange everything in the past two days and listened to some strategies to suppress bandits, and it seemed that there were no omissions, she still felt uneasy in her heart.

"Miss, let's go back. Don't worry, His Royal Highness will definitely be able to make a triumphant return." Seeing the team gradually disappearing, Xian Yue stood beside Chu Huanyan and said.

Chu Huanyan nodded, retracted her gaze, and when she turned around to return home, she met the eyes of Xiao Rongxuan and Mu Feng.

"Brother Huang went to suppress the bandits. Miss Chu must be very worried." Xiao Rongxuan's tone revealed a hint of schadenfreude.

Chu Huanyan looked at the other party quietly, and after a moment, she also laughed, "Shouldn't the one you are worried about be the third prince?"

"Why should I be worried?" Xiao Rongxuan sneered in his heart. He really wished that Xiao Jinzhi could die under the sword of those bandits and never return to the imperial city again.

"How can you not be worried?" Chu Huanyan raised her lips, with a hint of playfulness in her tone, "After all, if His Highness the Crown Prince successfully suppressed the bandits and made great achievements, the people's support will be even greater, and the situation of the third prince will then be It should be tougher.”

The smile on Xiao Rongxuan's face was a little stiff, and he looked at Chu Huanyan coldly.

The latter met his gaze and continued: "If I were the third prince, I would definitely send more men now, whether it is to intercept and kill, or to cause trouble. In short, I will not allow His Highness the Crown Prince to successfully suppress the bandits."

Xian Yue glanced nervously at her young lady, what's wrong with her, isn't this a reminder to the third prince to take action against His Highness?

Xiao Rongxuan frowned and stared at Chu Huanyan. After a while, he laughed again.

"What a plan. Did Miss Chu deliberately use provoking methods so that I, the prince, would send someone to attack and be caught?" Xiao Rongxuan sneered, "I'm afraid I just want to disappoint you. I won't be able to do anything next. If you take action against Xiao Jinzhi, you will not find the opportunity to impeach this prince. Of course, I heard that those bandits are fierce, so I will definitely have people burn incense day and night and pray for Xiao Jin's death in Cuiheng Mountain!"

Since Chu Huanyan dared to use provocation against him, it meant that Xiao Jinzhi had made sufficient preparations and was waiting for his people to fall into a trap. He would not be so stupid.

The most important thing for him now is to seize the opportunity of Xiao Jinzhi leaving the imperial city and win over a group of forces in the coming spring!

Seeing the pride in Xiao Rongxuan's expression, Chu Huanyan chuckled in her heart, but her face remained calm.

"In this case, there is nothing more to say. I will take my leave."

"Miss Chu, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Xiao Rongxuan called out to Chu Huanyan.

"I still have some things to do in my shop, so I won't chat with the third prince."

"Miss Chu is really busy." Xiao Rongxuan glanced at Mu Feng and sneered, "You see, you, the junior sister, have no intention of visiting our master, so you must not think that this prince is cruel, no. you left."
