Chapter 55: Packet Capture
"Lord Wen, let's go together. It just so happens that the princess doesn't understand the laws of Dali, you can explain it to her." Since there were outsiders present, Song Zijin tried his best to disguise his voice.
You know what, he really looks like a young man whose gender is hard to tell.
Wen Yan nodded in agreement.
With the princess present, Fu Yue couldn't sit at the table and could only wait hungry at the door of the private room.
The atmosphere in the private room was a bit weird.
Huang Qiuyue acted as if nothing had happened and generously filled the glasses for the three people. After raising the toast, she drank it first without caring whether others followed her or not.
Song Zijin asked Chen Zhuo in a low voice: "How did you recognize me?"
Chen Zhuo raised his chin towards Huang Qiyue and explained in a low voice, "This person is born in the Year of the Dog, and has a very good nose. She came here and got to know a few of us, so I guess it should be you."
“…” What a sloppy way.
Chen Zhuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Wen Yan, "Why are you involved with people from the Ministry of Personnel?"
"I treat Lord Wen and I got his favor, so I have the honor to sit at the same table with him." Song Zijin made up a lie.
This person is someone Xiao Linyuan trusts, so Shen Zhuo naturally has no doubts about him.
"Go back and tell the prince to get me back! I know I was wrong!" He clasped his hands together, looking so pitiful.
Emperor Guangxi wanted Huang Qiuyue to go to the army to choose a husband, so she dragged him along. Those who wanted to be his son-in-law had to come and fight with him, and those who lost would be eliminated.
My God, it was more tiring than fighting on the battlefield. His arms were shaking so much that he could barely hold the chopsticks.
As a young general, he doesn't want to be a sucker defending the ring!
Song Zijin was puzzled: "No one is watching, you can go back and talk to the prince yourself."
"You don't know, this bandit princess is better at Qinggong than me. I can't outrun her!"
"..." Song Zijin was speechless, "Didn't they say that the princess only likes men who are stronger than herself?"
Shen Zhuo was furious, "She doesn't like me!"
"Who said that this princess doesn't like you?" Huang Qiuyue suddenly spoke.
"?"
Three faces of surprise.
"This princess likes you just like this."
Shen Zhuo was dumbfounded, “My face is so ugly, your eyesight is not good!”
"This princess just likes ugly ones, is that okay?" Huang Qiuyue snorted lightly, with a very arrogant expression.
This was the first time that Chen Zhuo had his love confessed to in person. His usually eloquent mouth seemed to have gone mute, his face flushed red, and he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Song Zijin's eyes widened. How come Xiao Linyuan was so smart?
As expected of a prince who has experienced many battles, he has a keen eye!
After eating and drinking, Huang Qiyue took Chen Zhuo away.
Shen Zhuo arrogantly shook off her hand.
I thought this guy would have the guts to refuse, but after he put on airs, he just said, "I can leave on my own!"
“…”
Song Zijin called the shopkeeper over and added two dishes that Fu Yue liked.
"Brother Yan, don't you think that the red-dressed guard was enjoying it just now?"
Wen Yan smiled and said, "I think he and this princess are a good match."
Song Zijin didn't understand, "But he is just a small guard, and the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. Their status is not equal."
"Silly Jin, the word love is inherently unfathomable. If you like someone, you should pursue them, even if there are mountains and seas between them. If the princess is truly moved, she will not care about the other person's identity.
She is already very noble, but if she doesn't even have the right to be with anyone, then her so-called nobility is just an illusion in the air."
"What about the worldly perspective?"
Wen Yan thought of himself. Even if Song Zijin was marrying for the second time, he didn't care. What he cared about was her as a person.
"Other people's opinions are not worth eating. You live your life for yourself. Your value doesn't depend on the approval of others. For example, if you want to be a female doctor who is not favored by the world, don't you have to overcome all difficulties to achieve it?"
Song Zijin murmured, "That's different."
It's the difference between facing it alone and facing it with another person.
For example, Chen Zhuo, he could have married a wife and lived a carefree life; if he was Princess Shang, would he be willing to face the rumors that he was a gigolo?
"I think the same." Wen Yan affirmed.
The book says that love can overcome all difficulties.
…
Back at the palace, Song Zijin told Xiao Linyuan about Shen Zhuo's situation, but Xiao Linyuan just smiled and said, "Don't worry about it."
Song Zijin was puzzled: "Why is the prince deliberately making things difficult for General Shen?"
Xiao Linyuan put down the report in his hand and looked at her meaningfully, as if asking: You really don't know?
Song Zijin was confused. How could she know what King Jinyue, who was busy with all kinds of affairs, was thinking?
It can't be because of her, right?
Seeing her dazed, Xiao Linyuan had no choice but to explain: "Because he slandered me and was so careless with his words, I will punish him."
slander?
Did he say yesterday that he prefers female generals?
Song Zijin couldn't help but find it funny. They say a prime minister has a broad mind, but how could a great prince be so childish?
"Actually, I'd like to take this opportunity to test Huang Qiyue's abilities. If she's reliable, we can collaborate in the near future."
Song Zijin nodded. She said, "The prince is wise and powerful, how could there be no deeper meaning in his words?"
——
At noon that day, Wen Yan came to the clinic with several dishes made by Mrs. Wen herself.
Song Zijin couldn't refuse in person, so he asked Fu Yue to bring him chopsticks.
I had just taken two bites when the door of the compartment was pushed open.
The two men turned to look at the newcomer at the same time, their cheeks puffed up, their movements and expressions identical.
Song Zijin was the first to react. He swallowed the food in his mouth and blurted out, "Why is the prince here?"
He had disguised himself like this. If they hadn't been together day and night, she would not have recognized him.
Wen Yan was shocked, Prince?
Golden Axe King Xiao Linyuan?
Isn't he still sick? Why is he walking with a wind?
Song Zijin suddenly covered his mouth——
It’s over, it’s over. She exposed Xiao Linyuan’s secret. Will Wen Yan be silenced?
Xiao Linyuan, dressed in guard attire, strode over. He glanced back and forth between the two people in the room twice before placing the food box in his hand steadily on the table.
"Come and bring food to Doctor Yu."
Song Zijin patted his chest. With such a kind attitude, he shouldn't do anything to Wen Yan, right?
Their eyes met, and Song Zijin slowly looked away.
For some reason, looking at those dark phoenix eyes, she actually felt guilty.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wen Yan then put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up to greet him, being very polite.
Xiao Linyuan immediately noticed the sachet hanging around Wen Yan's waist. The embroidery was... very casual.
It was on par with the one he had shamelessly asked for a few days ago.
It looks quite old, and has become white after being washed.
His face was tense. "It's just that I came at the wrong time. Lord Wen arrived earlier. Are you too full to eat the food I brought?"
Song Zijin forced a smile and said, "I was just eating when the prince arrived!"
Then he explained to Wen Yan, "The prince's health is sometimes good and sometimes bad. He hasn't recovered yet. Lord Wen, please don't tell others about it."
Wen Yan was still a little confused. "This is the prince's private matter. I won't say anything nonsense."
Xiao Linyuan looked at Wen Yan, his phoenix eyes tinged with smiles, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Why is Lord Wen here?"
"Your Highness, I immediately hit it off with Doctor Yu. Since I'm very interested in medicine, I came here during lunch break to discuss medicine with him while we eat."
He was still thinking about helping Song Zijin conceal his true identity.
"Heh." Xiao Linyuan chuckled.
"Three years ago, Lord Wen won the top three places in the imperial examinations. Who in Dali wouldn't say that the new number one scholar was a man of both talent and virtue? Why didn't the old masters at the Imperial College teach Lord Wen not to talk while eating or sleeping?"
Wen Yan lowered his eyes, "Master has certainly taught me that."
"Then how did Lord Wen say that we were discussing medicine while having a meal?"
Wen Yan looked embarrassed. He rarely lied, and he felt a little embarrassed.
