Gong Yu was delighted. He never thought that Zhou Chen would say such words to Mu Nihuang.
Although she guessed that Zhou Chen might have said this in order to reject Mu Nihuang, she was very happy even so, and she was willing to be Zhou Chen's shield.
She knew the identities of Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu, and also knew that the suzerain Mei Changsu had a marriage contract with Mu Nihuang, so she could understand why Zhou Chen would do this.
Since Zhou Chen has made the decision, she naturally won't hold him back.
"To me, you are my heaven, you are everything to me. I also know that I am not worthy of you, so I will never restrict him. I will not ask where he wants to go. As long as he remembers me and can come back to see me occasionally, I will be satisfied."
Mu Nihuang felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. She was a strong-willed person, and if she liked someone, she would want to hold on to that person tightly. So she couldn't understand or agree with Gong Yu's behavior.
"So you don't know where he is now?"
"Yes."
Mu Nihuang was very unhappy because she didn't get the answer she wanted. Looking at Gong Yu in front of her, she didn't understand how she was worse than Gong Yu. Was it just because she knew Chen Yu later?
"If he comes to see you, tell him to come see me. If he doesn't come, I will find him no matter where he is."
After saying this, she walked to the door neatly. When the door opened, a figure rolled in.
Yan Yujin lay on the ground in a mess. Facing the gazes of the two women, he wished he could crawl into the ground.
"Haha, Sister Nihuang, Miss Gongyu, are you done talking? I just fell asleep leaning against the door."
"Humph!"
Mu Nihuang snorted coldly, but didn't bother with him and left quickly.
Gong Yu went over and helped Yan Yujin up: "Mr. Yan."
Yan Yujin stood up and consciously distanced himself from Gong Yu.
"Ms. Gong Yu, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that Sister Nihuang came here to cause trouble for you today. If I had known, I would definitely not have brought her here to cause trouble for you."
Gong Yu shook her head and said softly, "It's okay. The princess is actually a good person. She didn't make things difficult for me."
Although Mu Nihuang was full of hostility towards her, she did not think Mu Nihuang was bad. On the contrary, she understood Mu Nihuang very well and admired her bold expression and decisiveness.
If it were her, she would definitely not have the courage to confess to Zhou Chen in person, because she was afraid that after being rejected, the relationship would never be the same as before.
For her, as long as she could stay by the young master's side, she would be willing to do so even if she was just a maid serving tea and water.
She knew Zhou Chen's true identity, so she never expected to become Zhou Chen's wife.
Looking at Gong Yu, whose skin was whiter than snow and whose face was as beautiful as a flower, and thinking of what he had just heard at the door, he knew that his behavior was a bit rash, but he was really curious. He just didn't expect to hear such explosive content.
"Miss Gong Yu, you and that Young Master Yu, you..."
Gong Yu understood what Yan Yujin meant, so she answered without hesitation: "He is the most important person in my life, the one I cannot give up. I'm sorry, Master Yan."
Yan Yujin quickly waved his hands: "Miss Gong Yu, there's no need to say sorry. I'm really happy for you that you can have a good home."
"However, I am really curious about Gong Ziyu. What kind of person is he? He can make Miss Gong Yu and Sister Nihuang fall in love with him. Even Jing Rui praises him very much and says that Gong Ziyu is a rare gentleman in the world."
"Jingrui? Is it Young Master Xiao Jingrui? Does he also know my young master?" Gong Yu asked in surprise.
Yan Yujin nodded: "Jing Rui told me before that he and Gongzi Yu knew each other and traveled together in the martial arts world for half a month."
"I see."
Gong Yu felt relieved. She knew that Zhou Chen had been traveling outside for many years, so it was not strange that he met Xiao Jingrui, who was also traveling around the world.
I just don't know if Zhou Chen, like the sect leader Mei Changsu, intends to get to know Xiao Jingrui so that he can enter Jinling through Xiao Jingrui.
Yan Yujin bowed and said, "Miss Gong Yu, it's getting late. I have to go back as well. I'm sorry for disturbing you today. I'll come to your house and apologize in person some other day."
"Mr. Yan, there is no need to be like this. Gong Yu failed to entertain me well today."
"Miss Gong Yu, please stay. I'm leaving first."

Chapter 823: Sneaking into Jinling, Seeing Mei Changsu Again
Yan Yujin left. He was in a bad mood tonight. He liked good music, but he also admired Gong Yu.
Although he had never dreamed of being with Gong Yu, knowing that Gong Yu already had a lover and was so infatuated with him, he felt relieved and blessed her, but also quite disappointed.
What made him even more depressed was that Sister Nihuang, who was so unattainable and like a goddess in his eyes, actually had someone she liked, and that person was the same person that Miss Gong Yu liked.
Although Yan Yujin looks like a very eccentric and unruly person, he is actually a very gentle and kind-hearted gentleman. It's just that he lives more transparently than Xiao Jingrui. The two are gentlemen with different styles.
After Princess Nihuang and Yan Yujin left, Gong Yu did not leave immediately, but sat in the private room, silently recalling what had just happened.
In fact, she hadn't seen Zhou Chen for almost three years, but she would often ask Mr. Thirteen about Zhou Chen's situation. Knowing that Zhou Chen would convey his safety through the alliance every once in a while, she felt relieved.
As for what happened between Zhou Chen and Mu Nihuang, she was a little envious, but not angry. She was very clear about her own position and knew that she was not worthy of Zhou Chen. Princess Nihuang's identity and status were much nobler than hers. If they really compared, Princess Nihuang was more suitable for Zhou Chen than her.
But what she was worried about was whether she should tell Mr. Thirteen about Princess Nihuang's affairs. Judging from Zhou Chen's response, it was obvious that he was not willing to face Princess Nihuang because of Mei Changsu.
But this thought only flashed through her mind. She knew that with Mr. Thirteen's control over Miaoyinfang, he might have known that Mu Nihuang had been here by now.
If she could notice something strange about Mu Nihuang, then surely other people could notice it too, so there was no point in hiding it.
Sure enough, not long after, Mr. Thirteen sent someone to call her. After meeting Mr. Thirteen, she told him Princess Nihuang's purpose, but she didn't say much. She just said that Princess Nihuang wanted to know the whereabouts of Gongzi Yu.
Mr. Thirteen is also an old spy. He can see that Gong Yu is hiding something, but he didn't get to the bottom of it.
If Gong Yu was just a spy of the Jiangzuo League, as the spy's steward and elder, he could still force Gong Yu to tell everything.
But Mei Changsu had already told him that he must protect Gong Yu, and also told him the real reason and the relationship between Zhou Chen and Gong Yu.
Although Mr. Thirteen was once the musician of Princess Jinyang, he is now highly valued by Mei Changsu and has become an indispensable member of the Jiangzuo League.
But it was obvious that he was still not qualified to be compared with Zhou Chen. Even though he was older, in this era, his identity was still just a servant.
Mr. Thirteen was able to become the head of the Jiangzuo League's spies in Daliang's Jinling City, so he was naturally a very smart man. He could understand the general idea just from Gong Yu's words. What he was thinking about now was how to inform his young master about this matter.
The problems between Zhou Chen, Princess Nihuang, and Mei Changsu were not something that a servant like him could discuss or decide on.
Mei Changsu now lives in the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, and has only Fei Liu by his side. However, Fei Liu is mentally ill, and it is extremely risky to send a message through Fei Liu.
And there were no servants like them among the Xie Mansion's servants, so it was very difficult to convey information within the Xie Mansion.
Fortunately, this matter concerns Mei Changsu, but it will not put Mei Changsu in danger, so he thought about it and continued to send people to keep an eye on Xie Mansion. After Mei Changsu left the mansion, he would find a way to pass the message on.
…………
"We've finally arrived at Jinling City!"
It was already dark, but Zhou Chen could still clearly see the three big characters "Jinling City" on the city wall.
He traveled through countless worlds and had been to Jinling City many times, but that was the Jinling City more than a thousand years later, and the name had been changed by then.
Although the current Jinling City is not as magnificent as that of later generations, it is still considered a top-notch city in this era, and its city walls are more than ten meters high.
It was already night, and the gates of Jinling City had long been closed, and no one was allowed to enter the city.
Standing below, you can see guards standing guard near the city gate, and there are soldiers standing guard every few steps on the city wall. Once there is any movement at the city gate, they will be discovered immediately.
Zhou Chen was not prepared to spend a night outside the city. Although the guards at the city gate were tight, they were not a threat to him.
He mobilized his inner strength and leaped up from a city wall, flying onto the wall like a swallow, then used all his strength to perform Qinggong, moving at an extremely fast speed.
The two soldiers who were close to each other were chatting. They were in a relatively remote location, so they could be lazy.
As the two were talking, one of them suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing.
"Hey, why is there a sudden gust of wind?"
"Really? Why didn't I feel it? You must have drunk too much. You dare to drink on the night shift. Be careful if the boss finds out. You will be in trouble then."
"I just drank a little bit of wine. Even if the boss finds out, so what? Maybe the boss drank more than me. It's late at night. Is it possible that someone could break into Jinling City? Why worry about nothing."
"You were the one who said there seemed to be wind."
"I just felt it. Never mind. I'll close my eyes for a while. You keep staring. I'll take your turn later."
"Okay, take a nap first."
…………
Zhou Chen easily entered Jinling City. Because it was the capital of Daliang, Jinling City was divided into the outer city and the inner city. Those who could live in the inner city were either high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen. The innermost city was naturally the imperial city.
Zhou Chen had lived in this capital city for more than ten years, so he was quite familiar with it. He did not stay in the outer city for long and quickly entered the inner city.
With his lightness skill, he naturally entered the inner city without being noticed. Then he headed towards the Ningguo Marquis Mansion according to his memory.
Before coming, he had considered a lot, whether to meet Mei Changsu first, or to go to Miaoyinfang, the contact point of the Jiangzuo League first.
But now it was night and there were many people in Miaoyinfang, so he decided to go to Xie Mansion first to discuss the follow-up matters with Mei Changsu.
Mei Changsu lived in Xuelu in Xie's mansion. Ever since Xie Yu knew that he was Mei Lang of Jiangzuo, Xie Yu became wary of him and sent many people to keep an eye on Xuelu, both openly and secretly.
Fei Liu discovered all of this and told Mei Changsu, but Mei Changsu didn't take it to heart. He had no plans to do anything in Xie's mansion, so he didn't need to worry about Xie Yu sending people to monitor him.
Mei Changsu was reading a book by lamplight when Fei Liu, who had just finished his snack, walked up to him.
"Turn off the engine and go to sleep."
Fei Liu's accent is very unique. Due to the torture he suffered since childhood, he is different from normal people. Even when speaking the simplest words, he cannot speak as fluently as normal people.
Normally they speak one, two or three words at a time. It is quite rare to be able to say a sentence with more than three words at a time.
Mei Changsu smiled gently and put down the book helplessly: "Okay, I'll go to sleep."
So he walked to the bed and was about to take off his clothes and go to sleep, but suddenly Fei Liu's ears moved and his face changed: "Someone is here."
"Someone?"
Mei Changsu stopped what he was doing, stood up, and was shocked.
This is Xie's residence, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to sneak in. Could it be that Xie Yu wanted to kill him after knowing that he was Jiang Zuo Meilang?
But this is too far-fetched. He hasn't had any contact with the Crown Prince and Prince Yu yet.
Just as he was daydreaming and Fei Liu tensed his body, ready to rush out, suddenly a familiar voice sounded in their ears.
"Hey, Xiao Feiliu, you've made progress. You can even hear my voice now."
Hearing this voice, the nervous Mei Changsu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was overthinking.
Fei Liu frowned and snorted, "Not fun."
He thought someone had sneaked in and wanted to harm Mei Changsu, and was thinking about having a good time, but he didn't expect it to be Zhou Chen, whom he couldn't beat.
The window was opened, Zhou Chen walked into the room lightly, and then closed the window.
When Mei Changsu saw Zhou Chen wearing the Rakshasa mask, he smiled happily and touched Fei Liu's head to comfort him.
"when did you come?"
Zhou Chen took off the mask. He was also cautious while wearing the mask.
"It was already dark when I arrived at the city gate. I sneaked into the city secretly. I knew you were in the Ningguo Marquis Mansion, so I came to find you first."
"No one discovered it?"
"Don't worry, Lian Feiliu only noticed me after I got about ten steps closer, so it's even more impossible for others to notice me."
"Humph."
Fei Liu hummed unhappily. He originally thought that he should have gotten closer to Zhou Chen through his hard work, but after Zhou Chen said that, it was as if he had not made any progress.
Mei Changsu's eyes lit up, and he asked hesitantly, "You, have a breakthrough?"
Zhou Chen nodded: "I lived up to everyone's expectations. After several years of hard work, I finally made a breakthrough. If you hadn't called me urgently and said that the plan was about to begin, I would have gone to Beiyan to pick Tuoba Hao first, and then go to Dayu to find Xuanbu."
Mei Changsu said, "Tuoba Hao is fine, but you'd better take it easy before challenging Xuan Bu. After all, he is the best in the world. Even our Jiangzuo League doesn't know how deep this man is. When you get to Jinling, you can take some time to fight with Commander Meng."
"Meng Zhi? Not bad."
Zhou Chen also had this idea, but Meng Zhi was an old acquaintance of theirs after all. Even if they fought, it was estimated that neither side would be ruthless. In this respect, he was not as good as Tuoba Hao.
"Since you're still living here, that means the plan hasn't officially started yet, right?"
Mei Changsu nodded and said, "Yes, but now all parties are in place. We just have to wait and see how the situation develops and then we can act when the opportunity arises."
"Okay, you're the one who planned all the plans. I'll just be an errand boy or a thug now. If there's anything you need me to do, just tell me directly."
Zhou Chen has been traveling outside in the past few years. Although he knows many of Mei Changsu's plans through the original plot, he is not prepared to let Mei Changsu change his plans.
Because in the plot, Mei Changsu succeeded in the end, although there were many twists and turns in the middle; but who knows what the result would be if he suddenly changed his plan?
