Sun Jinzi was still unaware of Qian Jun's defeat in the palace, after she left the imperial court and rushed to the Jing Xin Yuan, she found out about the fact that he had been defeated in the frontline.

Hearing that Qian Jun was not dead, and was retreating with five thousand handicapped veterans, the fear in his heart lessened by a lot.

In this life, the outcome of this matter was not as irreparable as in his previous life. As long as they lost, they would have the chance to rouse their might and defeat the masters of the Northern Desert and the Chiron.

When Sun Jinzi saw Sun Fuping's pale face, she knew that he was implicated in Qian Jun's defeat and so the emperor must not have given him a good look.

"Father, father!"

She called out a few times before Sun Fuping managed to react.

"Today, thanks to Sixth Prince, or else I wouldn't have been able to walk out of the Wen Hua Palace alive."

When Sun Fuping thought about Jin Chuyi's eyes that were as vicious as a jackal's, he still felt a bit scared. If it wasn't for Jin Chupei making Qian Jun his deputy general, most likely all of them would have gone to report at the gates of hell tonight.

Right now, Qian Jun still had some use to Jin Chuyi, so he had yet to convict the both of them.

"Your uncle is at the front line. A hundred thousand elite soldiers are all dead!"

Sun Fuping could not help but let out a helpless sigh. Qian Jun was not a reckless person, how could he lose so badly this time?

"Father, are you saying that Sixth Prince is in court today?"

When Sun Jinzi heard Jin Chupei's name, he immediately felt much more relaxed than before, it was more effective than any kind of medicine.

"The Emperor wants the Sixth Prince to command fifty thousand Imperial Guards to head to the White Wolf's Brook to stop the Northern Desert and the Chiron's cavalry from leaving. Tomorrow, he will send some of the troops to the White Wolf's Brook."

Because Jin Chupei saved Sun Fuping's life today, he had a good impression of Jin Chupei, and said: "I saw how confident Sixth Prince is, so this time, he must have succeeded in calming down the Sirion of Northern Desert's rebel army."

When Sun Jinzi heard that Jin Chupei was leaving for the White Wolf's Brook tomorrow, the first thing she thought of was that before he left the capital, he had to go meet him first.

"Father, your daughter is a bit tired. She wants to rest for a while."

Sun Fuping got up and said goodbye, "Then you can rest in peace. The day after tomorrow will be the day of your great marriage with the First Prince."

He had originally thought that the emperor would resolve the marriage between Sun Jinzi and Jin Chuao in a fit of rage, but didn't expect that he would not mention a single word in the end.

Sun Jinzi guessed that Sun Fuping had already walked far away, so she got up and changed her clothes, wanting to leave in a hurry.

"Miss, it's getting late, where are you going?"

Mu Tan was afraid that something bad would happen to Sun Jinzi so she went out to stop her.

"Mu Tan, you stay here alone. If anyone comes to find me, just say that I'm asleep and don't let anyone else know that I'm going out. I'm going to find someone very important."

For very important people, there was no need to say anything about Mu Tan knowing that Sun Jinzi was referring to Jin Chupei. She knew that she would not be able to stop him today.

"Then drink this bowl of soup before you go."

Sun Jinzi picked up the medicinal soup that she had struggled to drink and quickly drank it all. Normally, she would drag things out until the very end before she was willing to drink the medicine.

After exiting the Sun Mansion, Sun Jinzi moved like the wind towards the inside of the Sixth Prince's Estate.

Just now, when she came out, she was disguised as a young domestic servant. When she left the manor, the servants outside did not notice anything amiss.

She had to see Jin Chupei, she couldn't wait even a second.

On the evening when the autumn rain stopped, the wind blowing on their faces was bone-chilling cold.

When Sun Jinzi arrived at the Sixth Prince's Estate, Jin Chupei and the emperor had still not come back from their discussion about sending troops out, so she did not know that Jin Chuyi had left Jin Chupei at the intrauterine for dinner. She stood at the entrance and waited for a long time, but she did not see Jin Chupei.

After that, Sun Jinzi left him a letter and told him to hand it over to the guard at the entrance. With that, he hurriedly headed towards the painting shop at the city's great temple.

Qian Jun's defeat was definitely not as simple as it was said to be, it was most likely related to the spy hiding in the capital.

With Jin Chupei's heroic, wise personality, he would definitely be able to guess the hidden secrets within. More importantly, she wanted to find out more about Qian Jun from Jin Chupei.

Qian Jun had always doted on his niece, as she was also the treasure of the Qian's disease, he could not afford to lose anything.

In the painting shop of the City God Temple, Sun Jinzi had hired two poor Elementary Scholars to look after the business.

When the two Elementary Scholars saw that Sun Jinzi had arrived, they immediately went out to welcome him. Sun Jinzi gave them some silver and told them to go to the tavern to eat. They would not be back tonight.

The night was as dark as ink. A bright moon slowly hung from the branch.

Sun Jinzi raised her head and looked at the full moon in the sky. Thinking that today was already the middle of the night, she couldn't help but think about the wedding the day after tomorrow.

She did not know how long she waited before falling asleep in the shop.

When he woke up, he saw Jin Chupei sitting opposite to him, dressed in snow-white clothes. He had a face like a blade and his face like a bright moon.

"Sixth Prince, you're here."

Sun Jinzi wanted to stand up and pay her respects, but was stopped by Jin Chupei.

He, Jin Chuyi and the empress also stayed together for dinner, before returning to the residence. When he heard from the guard at the door that a young man had asked him to give a letter, Jin Chupei could tell at a glance that it was Sun Jinzi.

Although the letter didn't specify the specific location, he immediately thought of it.

When he arrived at the painting store, he saw that Sun Jinzi had already fallen asleep. He couldn't bear to disturb her and just sat there waiting for her to wake up.

He would be leaving the capital for the White Wolf's Brook tomorrow. The Northern Desert and the Chiron were not easy opponents to deal with, and Jin Chupei was not sure if he could win, especially since the traitor had not been eliminated.

"Second Miss, why did you invite me out to meet you so late at night?"

Sun Jinzi raised his head and asked: "My letter didn't say that I was waiting for you at the painting shop, how did you know?"

This was a charade between Sun Jinzi and Sun Jinzi. Sun Jinzi wanted to see if the little guy was still interested in him, but he didn't expect the little guy to think about it as expected. Naturally, Sun Jinzi was very happy in her heart.

"Second Miss, if I can't even guess what this painting shop is, won't you be laughing at me?"

Jin Chupei looked at the tired Sun Jinzi and really wanted to get up to caress that clean and pure ice jade face.

Sun Jinzi said with a serious face: "His Highness the Sixth Prince, when no one is around, can you not call me Second Miss? You can just call me Zi Er, okay?"

She had a nagging feeling that this Second Miss was hundreds of thousands of miles away from them.

Then he said: "I will no longer call you Sixth Prince, can I call you Chu Pei?"

Jin Chupei promised with a sigh, and said: "Alright, I will call you Zi Er from now on, just call me Chu Pei, there is no need to restrain yourself from calling me that."

In any case, meeting him tonight, Jin Chupei didn't know if he would be able to meet him again in this life. He also didn't think that Sun Jinzi would soon become her own royal sister-in-law.

Sun Jinzi shouted tenderly: "Chu Pei, Chu Pei!"

A pair of phoenix eyes looked at Jin Chupei, the fatigue on his face had long since disappeared as soon as he saw him, leaving behind only a sweet and warm smile.

"Zi Er, you must take good care of yourself in the capital."

This was the first time Jin Chupei had called Sun Jinzi by name, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. The expression on his face was also a little stiff.

Even so, Sun Jinzi's heart was still filled with warmth and happiness.

"Chu Pei, I heard from my father that the Emperor is sending you to White Wolf's Brook to meet with my uncle. Why are you two blocking the Northern Desert and the Chiron cavalry? How is my uncle now? "

Sun Jinzi looked at Jin Chupei anxiously, afraid that he would reveal that Qian Jun had been killed in the process of retreat.

Jin Chupei said word by word, "Zi Er, you don't have to worry about General Qian. According to the reports of the scouts ahead, General Qian and the handicapped Army have already entered the White Wolf's Brook.

Sun Jinzi heaved a long sigh of relief, and her entire body immediately relaxed a lot. As long as she was able to confirm that nothing had happened to Qian Jun, everything would be fine.

"This time, when I lead the troops out of the capital, the General Qian is not here either. You better be careful inside the Sun Mansion.

Jin Chupei had a bad premonition, the spy hiding in the palace was about to jump out, and upon seeing Qian Jun asking, he immediately knew what was going on at the front lines, causing him to have nowhere to hide.

Sun Jinzi said seriously: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself in the capital. Didn't you say last time that you had already found the traitor that colluded with the northern khan? This time, you went to the White Wolf's Brook, so why don't you leave the investigation of the traitor to me? "

Jin Chupei wanted to go to the front line to kill the enemy. With his current weak and handicapped body, he definitely couldn't help him. But until now, that spy still had not been found. It was not good for Jin Chupei and the rest to fight at the front lines.

"There's no need to worry about this matter. I've already arranged for people to follow up on the investigation, and haven't obtained complete evidence yet. That's why I didn't tell the emperor when I entered the palace."

No matter what, Jin Chupei would not hand over such a dangerous matter to Sun Jinzi, but he had obviously underestimated Sun Jinzi's determination.

Sun Jinzi said: "You know that this traitor is like a thorn in the heart, if you can't pull him out, many military matters will be known by the northern khan, and you will be in danger in the White Wolf's Brook."

Jin Chupei had to say that Sun Jinzi's analysis was very logical, and from what he knew, this traitor had a huge influence in the imperial court, if she did not get rid of him quickly, there would be no end of problems in the future.

Now that he had gone to the frontline, no one in the capital would be able to spy on him. It was indeed a great hidden danger.

"Just tell me, I promise I won't act rashly."

Sun Jinzi blinked her beautiful big eyes, waiting for Jin Chupei to say that person's name.

"Come here."

Sun Jinzi walked over, and whispered a few sentences into her ears, hearing her nod her head repeatedly.

"Zi Er, remember this, don't alert the enemy in the capital. Maybe we can still use this traitor."

Jin Chupei warned repeatedly, afraid that Sun Jinzi would be agitated and reveal her identity, which would then lead to a fatal disaster.

After the two of them had agreed on what to do, Jin Chupei had secretly followed Sun Jinzi and sent her back to the Sun Mansion.

Those eyes, as deep as a well, followed them like ghosts, and in the darkness a face smiled savagely.
