Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 695 - 646: Another Update_3

Zheng Nianru was somewhat surprised to see Eunuch Du, who served in the Inner Hall.

She remembered that Zheng Congyuan did not like to be closely attended to, it seemed that ever since Qi Ling and Qi Zhu died, there had been no one to serve close to Zheng Congyuan.

Eunuch Du respectfully saluted Zheng Nianru, and with a meaningful look, sent the Little Eunuch outside to pour tea. Zheng Nianru immediately knew why she felt that the Little Eunuch looked familiar—it was because he bore a striking resemblance to Eunuch Du.

But Zheng Nianru had no time to concern herself with these trivial matters.

"Nian Ru, why are you here?" Zheng Congyuan put down the document he was holding, his gaze filled with slight pain. He never thought there would come a day when he couldn’t even protect the person he cared about most, let alone...

Although Zheng Nianru did not know exactly what Zheng Congyuan was thinking, she could generally guess. His pride had been with him since the moment he was born, became the Crown Prince of Nanzheng State, and presided over the imperial court until today.

If it weren’t for Zheng Haoyuan’s rebellion, no, Zheng Haoyuan was just a puppet, and the Wen Family’s sin.

Zheng Nianru did not dare touch upon Zheng Congyuan’s failure, just like in her previous life, even if the harsh reality was glaringly obvious before them, she did not dare to confront it.

"Fu Xun Brother, why did you not grant a marriage to Ju Nanyi?" Zheng Nianru asked, "I looked through so many albums and put so much effort into selecting those...

"Nian Ru, Ju Nanyi he...

"Hmph, he doesn’t know what’s good for him..." Zheng Nianru waved her sleeve, her face still flushed with anger, unable to hide the events of last night.

"Yes, he doesn’t know what’s good for him, don’t bother with him." Seeing Zheng Nianru like this, Zheng Congyuan couldn’t help but continue in a way that would appease her.

So, she was unaware of Ju Nanyi’s true thoughts, and her anger was because Ju Nanyi did not recognize what was good for him and dared to defy her.

However, being a man, Zheng Congyuan naturally knew that Ju Nanyi’s intentions were not pure. With Ju Nanyi’s stability and caution, he had long known that as long as he found him, he could fully resolve the matter.

So, he did it on purpose to find her and provoke her.

Zheng Congyuan gave a slight smile, he, too, knew very well that the woman before him only had eyes and heart for him. Her choice to die with him at that moment spoke volumes.

"What are you laughing about!" Zheng Nianru rolled her eyes at Zheng Congyuan. It was late, yet someone had sent things to comfort him, naturally, she knew about the commotion at Chenhe Palace, but Zheng Nianru wasn’t afraid of Zheng Congyuan discovering anything. If Ju Nanyi dared to come, it meant he was fully prepared.

Ju Nanyi was always meticulous in his actions.

"Be patient, we cannot do without Ju Nanyi right now." Zheng Congyuan spoke, and Zheng Nianru was taken aback, looking at the Zheng Congyuan before her, this was the first time she heard him talk about matters of the imperial court.

But still, she was afraid. In her previous life, Zheng Congyuan had been no match for Ju Nanyi.

No, not necessarily. In her previous life, there was the force of Prince Duan as well, but now, those strengths were still in her hands, and this time they could be even more so in Zheng Congyuan’s hands, so, it wasn’t certain.

"Are you ready?" Zheng Nianru stood up. Despite her thoughts, she was still somewhat worried and clutched the handkerchief tightly, looking at Zheng Congyuan.

"Yes." Zheng Congyuan nodded, hoping everything was still in time.

"Good, it’s about time to take action, and it’s not too late. Don’t forget, my father still holds a force in his hands. I have the materials, but I have not yet found a way to break through, " Zheng Nianru quickly said.

Zheng Congyuan watched Zheng Nianru quietly, his fingers trembling slightly, her words telling him all about the fullness of her heart and mind.

"There’s no rush, Nian Ru, as long as you know your own mind, that’s enough."

Zheng Nianru left Chenyuan Hall and felt as if she had an epiphany, as if she suddenly saw an opportunity to escape her fate.

"The guards at Chenhe Palace have all been changed." Zheng Congyuan suddenly spoke, and Eunuch Du was startled. The next moment, he comprehended and discreetly withdrew.

Ju Nanyi paused slightly. The personnel at Chenhe Palace were changed? Changed completely? Ju Nanyi closed the document he had just opened and believed his actions had been carefully concealed, confident there were no concerns with the people of Chenhe Palace.

So, Zheng Congyuan had suspicions? Was it because of his hasty appearance in the palace?

It must be so.

But Ju Nanyi did not regret his impulsiveness. He had to lay his cards on the table sooner or later. Even if it was earlier than he anticipated, he was not afraid.

The only thing he regretted from his past life was living in confusion for so many years without truly capturing Zheng Nianru’s heart. But this life would be different. He had the advantage over Zheng Congyuan and thus could not hesitate.

Ju Nanyi closed his eyes, feeling a faint sense of anticipation, ready to see if what he offered was enticing enough for Zheng Congyuan.
