Jiujiu was very satisfied with Lin Zeyu's trust in her.
Although Lin Zeyu's poison had been cured, his injuries were not light. Even with Jiujiu's miraculous medicine, he still had to stay at the bottom of the cliff for more than a month to fully recover.
Since Lin Zeyu's injuries were healed, it was naturally time to part.
Although they had not known each other for long and had not spent much time together, Lin Zeyu felt that he could no longer part with Jiujiu in this short period of time.
However, the current situation in the Imperial Court was so severe that even if Lin Zeyu was reluctant, he knew that he had to prioritize the overall situation.
Jiujiu brought Lin Zeyu to the top of the cliff before bidding farewell to Lin Zeyu.
Seeing Jiujiu bring him, who weighed more than one hundred and fifty kilograms, up from the bottom of the cliff, Jiujiu's breathing did not even change in the slightest, let alone her face flushed and she was out of breath.
Lin Zeyu was both happy and worried about this.
Jiujiu was not only beautiful and skilled in medicine, she was also so skilled in martial arts. Such an outstanding Jiujiu would definitely have many suitors.
Thinking of this, Lin Zeyu's heart instantly tightened.
Lin Zeyu held Jiujiu's hand and looked at Jiujiu's smooth jade-like cheeks, "After today's parting, I don't know when we will meet again."
On the surface, he was Zhenyuan Marquis, but behind the scenes, he was the sharpest knife in the Emperor's hand.
Now that he had mysteriously disappeared for more than a month, the Crown Prince was probably already on guard. When he returned this time, he would definitely be subjected to all kinds of difficulties.
Lin Zeyu was not afraid of making things difficult for him. He was afraid that he would never see Jiujiu again. When he thought of not seeing Jiujiu for a long time, Lin Zeyu's heart was particularly uncomfortable.
Lin Zeyu pulled off a jade tablet from his neck and handed it to Jiujiu, saying softly, "If you want to see me, take this jade tablet to the Zhenyuan Marquis' residence."
Jiujiu accepted the jade tablet and thought for a moment before saying, "If you want to see me, you can come to the Li Mansion in Anyuan Town."
Anyuan Town was the closest town to the capital.
Upon receiving Jiujiu's message, Lin Zeyu was pleasantly surprised. He grasped Jiujiu's hand and said, "Jiuniang, don't worry. Wait for me to marry you."
Jiujiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for you to marry me."
Jiujiu stood on her tiptoes and gently kissed Lin Zeyu's lips.
Jiujiu ran off after kissing him. When Lin Zeyu wanted to grab Jiujiu and do whatever he wanted, he discovered that Jiujiu had already run far away.
Looking at Jiujiu's back, Lin Zeyu raised his head and touched his lips. When he thought back to how he felt just now, he couldn't help but reveal an infatuated smile.
Ever since Lin Zeyu left, Jiujiu didn't have to go to the bottom of the cliff anymore. She didn't want to resume her habit of staying in the Li Mansion when she had nothing to do. However, she would occasionally go out to inspect the shops and see if the stewards were doing their best.
Lin Zeyu had just arrived in the capital when he saw a portrait posted at the city gate. Anyone who entered the city would be carefully examined.
Men would tear open their clothes to look at their chest, while women would be let go.
Seeing the guards' actions, Lin Zeyu raised his hand and touched his chest, revealing a proud smile.
Although the scar was so deep that the bone could be seen, he didn't know what method Jiujiu used to make that piece of skin look exactly the same as before. Not to mention a scar, there wasn't even a mark left.
Lin Zeyu couldn't help but rejoice at Jiujiu's foresight.
Lin Zeyu walked to the city gate.
When they saw Lin Zeyu appear, the guards who were originally standing to the side immediately walked over.
The leader first carefully looked Lin Zeyu up and down. After confirming that Lin Zeyu's complexion wasn't pale at all, he cupped his hands and said, "This one greets the Marquis."
Lin Zeyu turned his head to look at a soldier who was tearing open a man's clothes not far away. He asked knowingly, "What are you doing?"
"Replying to the Marquis, the day before yesterday, an assassin broke into the palace to murder the Emperor. He was stabbed in the chest by the imperial guards and escaped. This subordinate was ordered to capture the assassin. I hope the Marquis will forgive me."
After saying this, the guard's eyes instantly moved down to Lin Zeyu's chest. The meaning of his words was self-evident.
Lin Zeyu sneered in his heart. The Crown Prince really knew how to find excuses.
If looking for the assassin was really to capture the assassin, then they would definitely check the chests of the people leaving the city. But now they only checked the chests of the people entering the city. They must be trying to stop him.
However, he didn't have any scars on his body, so he naturally didn't fear being checked.
Lin Zeyu pulled open his clothes, revealing his wheat-colored chest.
The moment Lin Zeyu pulled open his chest, the guard who had been standing to the side instantly tightened his grip on his sword.
However, after seeing that Lin Zeyu's chest didn't have a single scar, the guard's face instantly revealed a trace of disbelief. His eyes widened in shock.
It wasn't until Lin Zeyu pulled his clothes back that the guard retracted his shocked expression. He carefully smiled apologetically and invited Lin Zeyu in.
Seeing Lin Zeyu's vigorous steps, the guard's head instantly filled with question marks. "Could it be that the Crown Prince guessed wrong? That person wasn't Lin Zeyu?"
But that was impossible. During this period of time, the Crown Prince had almost turned the capital upside down. Only Lin Zeyu wasn't in the capital. The most likely person was him.
However, if it really was Lin Zeyu, why didn't he have a scar on his chest? It shouldn't be.
The guard instantly fell into a dilemma.
After Lin Zeyu left, the guard immediately rushed to the Crown Prince's residence to report to the Crown Prince.
After receiving news that Lin Zeyu's chest didn't have a scar, a trace of shock flashed through the Crown Prince's eyes. "Impossible. That person's martial arts moves are exactly the same as Lin Zeyu's. Furthermore, he hasn't been in the capital all this time. If it wasn't him, then who could it be?"
"But there's no scar on his chest. Your Majesty also said that the blade was so deep that you could see the bone. If it really was Lin Zeyu, how could there be no scar at all?"
"There really isn't a scar?" The Crown Prince asked again, still uncertain.
The guard shook his head and said with certainty, "There really isn't a scar."
Not to mention no scar, there wasn't even a mark.
The guard was his trusted aide and naturally wouldn't lie to him. However, because of this, the Crown Prince became even more flustered.
If it really was as the guard said, then Lin Zeyu's suspicions would naturally be eliminated. However, if it wasn't Lin Zeyu, then who could it be?
When he thought of the hidden guard leader hiding behind the scenes, the Crown Prince's head began to hurt.
Right now, Imperial Father was already dissatisfied with him. If that person gave those documents to Imperial Father, even if he still had his position, some of his trusted aides would definitely be removed.
When he thought of the positions of his trusted aides, the Crown Prince's head began to hurt again.
Right now, he was in a difficult situation. This document really couldn't fall into the Emperor's hands.
Moreover, when he thought of the day when the assassin he sent to assassinate Imperial Father hadn't even gotten close to the Emperor's side, they were suddenly repelled by a mysterious person and were almost captured alive, the Crown Prince's brows furrowed even more.
