Chapter 680 - 333: The Achievement from the Dragon_3
Qian Yixiu saw Liang Jinzhao always looking at her with a smile, which seemed to carry an unwavering certainty. A flash of an imperial yellow decree passed through her mind. It couldn’t be that he had gone to ask the Emperor for a marriage decree. If that were the case, nothing could be better.
Even the Little Monk noticed something different about Liang Jinzhao and asked, "Senior brother, why are you looking at my sister like that?"
Liang Jinzhao’s face turned a bit red. He coughed and said, "Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Yixiu." In truth, he wanted to tell Qian Yixiu about the possibility of the Emperor granting them marriage, but he felt embarrassed to say it with his junior brother present.
The Little Monk had grown up. Although living in the monastery, he understood certain matters. He pouted and said, "That’s not true. You haven’t seen me for even longer, yet you haven’t smiled like that for me."
As they were speaking, Zhu Sujin arrived. He looked even thinner than the Little Monk, his features even more chiseled and handsome.
Qian Yixiu stood up and performed a curtsey, Liang Jinzhao bowed with a fist to chest, and the Little Monk brought his palms together and bowed in greeting, performing the appropriate gestures of deference.
Zhu Sujin was not used to her doing this, but there was nothing he could do. Raising his hand, he said, "Dispense with the formalities, please, sit down."
After exchanging some pleasantries, Zhu Sujin waved the servants away.
He said in a low voice to Qian Yixiu, "I’ve already had your Second Auntie’s matter dealt with. She will pretend to be dead in three days, and her body will be discarded at Mass Graves. Your people should receive her there. After that, she should not remain in the Capital City but live under a new identity. As for rescuing her son, it’s more complicated. All the men are locked up in the Judicial Temple, and I will have to think of a solution."
He was referring to Pan Yuanfeng, whose mother had been unable to part with her husband and son when Prince Consort Pan had sought a divorce, and was thus now imprisoned. Prince Consort Pan had asked Qian Yixiu to implore Zhu Sujin for help, hoping to save her and her son. Those days, Qian Yixiu couldn’t see Zhu Sujin herself, so she had to send Father Jiang to the Eastern Palace to explain the situation.
Qian Yixiu refilled Zhu Sujin’s tea and expressed her thanks.
