Chapter 99: I don't know

I don't know

With her back to Yin Fengzhan, Nie Jinxuan couldn't see his expression, but upon hearing this, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but pause. However, she quickly recovered, reached out to open the cabinet door, and took out a light purple palace dress.

"I already said yesterday, if you are unsatisfied and want to find a woman, I don't object. So, you don't need to explain to me now!"

Nie Jinxuan's voice was flat. After speaking, she took the clothes and turned to go behind the screen, took off her dress, and changed into the luxurious palace dress... But just as Nie Jinxuan had taken off her dress and was about to take the light purple palace dress, she saw Yin Fengzhan's tall figure cross the screen and appear before her in the scorching light.

Instantly, Nie Jinxuan's face, which had been as calm as water, was shocked. She reflexively covered her body with the clothes.

"Yin Fengzhan, what are you doing? Get out!"

For the first time in two days, Nie Jinxuan's expression changed. At this moment, looking down at her angry appearance, Yin Fengzhan remained cold and stern, neither speaking nor leaving.

Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but grit her teeth and said coldly:

"Yin Fengzhan, don't make me say it a second time, get out!"

"I don't want to explain it a second time either, that was a misunderstanding!"

Hearing Nie Jinxuan's words, Yin Fengzhan's already gloomy face became even uglier. After speaking, he took a step forward, forcing his way in front of Nie Jinxuan.

"So, whether you believe it or not is your business, and it has nothing to do with me! Moreover, I would like to ask you, your..."

Yin Fengzhan's voice was terrifyingly low. But then he stopped, pursing his lips and remaining silent. Nie Jinxuan, who had already frowned because of his words, saw that he had stopped halfway and couldn't help but ask:

"My what? Speak clearly!"

"Don't you know in your heart whether I speak or not?"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Yin Fengzhan watched Nie Jinxuan quietly for a long while, then turned and walked out... It wasn't until she watched him walk past the screen that Nie Jinxuan finally regained her senses and couldn't help but shout:

"Yin Fengzhan, what do you mean? What do you mean by 'I know in my heart'?!"

"Hey! Yin Fengzhan, stop right there!"

"You..."

Nie Jinxuan called out several times, but Yin Fengzhan remained silent. Finally, Nie Jinxuan got angry, grabbed the clothes she had just taken off, and threw them at Yin Fengzhan... The dress fluttered and landed on Yin Fengzhan's head.

Instantly, Yin Fengzhan, who was walking forward, stopped in his tracks. He reached out, took the dress off his head, and then slowly turned around.

At this moment, Yin Fengzhan's aura was terrifyingly intimidating. But seeing him stop, Nie Jinxuan showed no fear and walked up to him, looking straight into those eyes that made one's heart turn cold.

"Yin Fengzhan, you are the one who was caught in the act, not me! As for what you said about whether I know or not, I will tell you now: I don't know, and I don't know what you are talking about! So, if you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, just say it directly, don't keep saying things that are inexplicable!"

Nie Jinxuan was extremely angry. After speaking, she didn't wait for Yin Fengzhan to say anything; she turned around and walked out with large strides. Standing there watching Nie Jinxuan's departing back, Yin Fengzhan couldn't help but frown, his eyes flashing.

Because of the big argument, Yin Fengzhan and Nie Jinxuan did not leave together. But here at Zuixiashanzhuang, even if Nie Jinxuan was angry, she wouldn't lose her composure and let others make a joke of her.

Therefore, not long after walking out of the room in anger, Nie Jinxuan stopped and stood at the corner of the moon gate in the front courtyard, waiting for Yin Fengzhan. When Yin Fengzhan, who also had a gloomy face, came out and saw Nie Jinxuan waiting for him, he was stunned, but his expression softened significantly.

The two of them walked toward Ju Feng Tang one after the other, tacitly remaining silent. But when they arrived at Ju Feng Tang, they were told that the banquet had been moved to Jinghong Xiaozhu.

Jinghong Xiaozhu is located on the north side of Zuixiashanzhuang, close to Zi Feng Lin. It is far from the hustle and bustle of the villa and is a very quiet place. Precisely because it is slightly remote, few people go there on weekdays.

Therefore, upon hearing that the banquet originally held at Ju Feng Tang had been moved to Jinghong Xiaozhu, Nie Jinxuan and Yin Fengzhan were stunned almost at the same time. Nie Jinxuan turned to look at Yin Fengzhan beside her, then smiled slightly at the young eunuch in front of her.

"Then may I ask, little eunuch, why is the banquet being moved to Jinghong Xiaozhu? Although this is my first time attending the Spring Sacrifice, I have never heard of a banquet being held at Jinghong Xiaozhu before..."

Nie Jinxuan's voice was gentle, and her face wore a smile. Hearing this, the little eunuch responsible for delivering the message hurriedly responded with a smile:

"In reply to the Consort of Prince Chen, this servant does not know the specific situation. Eunuch Gao just told this servant to guard here and notify everyone. As for why the location was changed, this servant does not know."

"Oh... so that's how it is. But it really is... if they had notified us in advance, it would have been fine. Why wait until we got here to..."

Nie Jinxuan didn't finish her sentence, instead putting on a look of difficulty and helplessness. Seeing her like this, the little eunuch couldn't help but mutter a few words:

"Sigh, the Princess Consort is right! But there's no help for it; the decision was made suddenly from above, and there wasn't even time to send out notifications. We servants can only guard here."

The little eunuch was probably not even twenty years old and seemed like someone who loved to talk. Hearing him say this, Nie Jinxuan's brows twitched, but Yin Fengzhan, who had been silent beside her, was instantly stunned, a thoughtful look appearing in his cold eyes.

Noticing Yin Fengzhan's expression, Nie Jinxuan pursed her lips slightly. After exchanging a few more words with the little eunuch, she turned and left with Yin Fengzhan... As soon as they walked out of Ju Feng Tang, Nie Jinxuan leaned toward Yin Fengzhan and asked in a low voice:

"What's going on?"

Nie Jinxuan lowered her voice so that only the two of them could hear. Hearing this, Yin Fengzhan pursed his lips and said:

"I don't know!"

"Then why was the location suddenly changed to Jinghong Xiaozhu? Could there be some conspiracy in this?"

In front of Yin Fengzhan, there was nothing Nie Jinxuan couldn't say. But Yin Fengzhan pursed his lips and remained silent. Seeing him not speak, Nie Jinxuan couldn't say anything more. The two of them walked in silence all the way to Jinghong Xiaozhu!

In Zuixiashanzhuang, to be worthy of the name "Jinghong," Jinghong Xiaozhu naturally has its own unique charm!

It is not as exquisite as carved railings and painted beams, nor as luxurious as clusters of flowers. Jinghong Xiaozhu consists of bamboo cottages and thatched halls built over small bridges and flowing water!

However, the thatched halls were built quite exquisitely. The simple bamboo joints looked monotonous and primitive, yet each was refined with endless mysteries. The surroundings were open, and listening to the murmuring water below, it had a different kind of style!

At this moment, it was dusk. The setting sun cast a dazzling red glow over the entire Jinghong Xiaozhu, and with the palace lanterns that had already started to twinkle, it was truly breathtaking.

Therefore, when Nie Jinxuan walked to Jinghong Xiaozhu, her eyes lit up.

But now was not the time to enjoy the scenery. After a brief moment of exclamation, Nie Jinxuan quickly regained her composure. She and Yin Fengzhan went to their assigned seats and sat down. Once seated, Nie Jinxuan began to pay attention to the surroundings... But the moment she looked up, she discovered that except for Emperor Shuncheng and Empress Duan, everyone else in the villa had already arrived!

Even Prince Rui, Yin Fengxiang, who was in poor health, and Prince Qin, Yin Fenglian, who hadn't appeared since the first day, had miraculously arrived!

Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but twitch her brows. Just then, Nie Jinxuan instinctively felt that something was wrong, and reflexively looked to her front left... and saw a pair of extraordinary, beautiful eyes.

It was the Crown Princess, Zhen Xiao Lian. Following Zhen Xiao Lian's gaze, Nie Jinxuan discovered that she was looking at Yin Fengzhan beside her!

Instantly, Nie Jinxuan felt a surge of anger in her heart. She turned her head to glare at Yin Fengzhan, who was sitting silently beside her, and then fixed her gaze on Zhen Xiao Lian again.

Nie Jinxuan's gaze was calm but intimidating. At this moment, perhaps feeling Nie Jinxuan's gaze, Zhen Xiao Lian shifted her eyes slightly. Seeing Nie Jinxuan looking at her, Zhen Xiao Lian hurriedly looked away...

The surroundings were bustling, but the air was filled with an inexplicable strangeness. Just as Nie Jinxuan wanted to turn her head to say something to Yin Fengzhan, she was interrupted by a transmission sound:

"The Emperor and Empress have arrived!"

Emperor Shuncheng and Empress Duan had arrived. After the usual greetings and inquiries, the banquet officially began!

Although this banquet was held at Jinghong Xiaozhu, in Nie Jinxuan's eyes, it was not much different from the last one. Different scenery, but the same group of people; the infighting among the harem concubines continued, and the undercurrents among the princes remained unchanged!

Seeing this, Nie Jinxuan had no heart for it. She just wanted the banquet to end as soon as possible so she could go back and properly handle the matters between herself and Yin Fengzhan... But just as Nie Jinxuan was immersed in her own thoughts, she heard Emperor Shuncheng suddenly speak from the front:

"Fourth Son, I have heard that you have been drinking frequently these past few days. I wonder what the reason is?"
