“I’ll find an opportunity. After all, we can’t keep using Mother Goddess as an excuse. Oh, right, King Rui is getting married soon. Have you thought about what to gift him?” Zhou Ying asked.

“Right, I’ll prepare some congratulatory gifts for him accordingly, and then give him a book on the Thirty-Six Stratagems.”

“Thirty-Six Stratagems? You’d better think of an excuse for how you got your hands on it.”

“Information in these ancient times isn’t as developed, so I can just make it up. As long as it’s unique, he won’t delve into the specifics.”

On the other end, King Rui finished reading the message sent by Guard Chu and said, “Since that Yan fellow has returned, keep an eye on him for the next two days. I don’t want to marry an unfaithful wife.”

“Yes.” At this point, Guard Chu hesitated and said, “Since your highness already knows that Miss Sun’s heart belongs to someone else, why not report this to the Emperor to choose another concubine?”

“If I do that, Miss Sun will die, and even the Sun family will be implicated.

“Grand Scholar Sun is a relatively upright person, educated, and talented. If he died just like that, it would be a great loss to the Ming Dynasty.”

“But, what if…”

“She can only ‘die of illness’.”

“I understand. 1 will definitely request that the informant keep an eye on them.” After saying that, Guard Chu turned around and walked out.

King Rui once again glanced at the information about Yan Zhiwu—the young master of the Yan family—returning to the capital. A sharp glint flashed across his eyes as he muttered, “I do wonder if you will choose your future or a beauty.”

Of course, when Yan Zhiwu returned home at night and confirmed that Sun Miaoke was engaged to King Rui, he fell into silence.

But in the end, he still decided to go to the Sun Manor to take a look.

However, just as she was about to leave after changing his clothes, his mother walked over and asked, “Wu’er, where are you going?”

“Mother, 1 want to go see my cousin.” Yan Zhiwu replied directly.

“You might dare to do it, but I won’t allow you to go.”

“Why? I’m just going over to take a look. I won’t do anything.”

“Take a look? So what if you’re just taking a look? Since you missed the chance, just give up. If we continue this farce, both our families will be in trouble.”

“But…”

“No buts. If you go over now, you will only make things difficult for both of you.

“What else could you do?

“Defy the decree and let everyone die with you?

“Or are you planning on eloping? If they catch you, you’ll die. If they don’t catch you, you two still have to be ‘dead’.

“As for the Yan and Sun families, what would happen to us in the future once we lost the Emperor’s favor?

“Moreover, it’s been a few days, and the Sun family hasn’t sent over any letters. It’s evident that they don’t want you to pester them anymore.

“No matter what, some things have to be made clear.”

“You’re not allowed to go at night. Mother will bring you there tomorrow morning if you really want to visit her.” Mother Yan turned around and left after she finished speaking.

Yan Zhiwu looked at her back, and his heart was a mess.

He knew clearly that his mother was right.

No matter which choice he made, it would not end well.

The only way out was for the two of them to return to being only cousins from now on.

But he really liked her, and he was unwilling to let go just like that.

At the very least, he had to know what she was thinking.

At the thought of this, he returned to his room to take a bath and change his clothes. After everyone fell asleep, he quietly went out.

Walking on the empty street, his heart slowly calmed down.

Would he really stir up the two families for his own selfish reasons?

After wandering around the streets for a while, he finally turned around and returned home.

Sun Miaoke naturally knew the day Yan Zhiwu returned to the capital, so she had been waiting for him to come to visit her at night.

She waited for an entire night.

However, when the sun rose, she still did not see the figure that she had been thinking about daily..
