The Prince of Zhennan immediately said, "She has already gone back. Don't cause her any more trouble in the future."
Princess Lin'an stared wide-eyed at her father in disbelief and said, "Father, what are you saying? How can you let her go like this? She bullied your daughter, and you just let her go like this? Am I still your most beloved daughter? No, I'll have someone bring her back."
Because she was his only daughter and his only child, Princess Lin'an was extremely arrogant, even though she was a woman. After all, she believed that everything in the royal palace would eventually belong to her and her husband.
"Enough! Xuan Ning, your father has spoiled you too much. Now you dare to disobey me?" Prince Zhennan slammed his hand on the table. Princess Lin'an had never seen her father so angry before. She was a little scared, but more than that, she was resentful.
"Father, why are you being so fierce? You promised Mother you would take good care of me, and you said you cared about me the most. I just want a man, and I can't even have him. What kind of princess am I?"
Princess Lin'an continued talking to herself, unaware that the Prince of Zhennan's face was growing increasingly dark.
"Shut up. You dare to talk back? Guards, take the princess away and let her reflect on her actions."
Princess Lin'an looked on in disbelief: "Father, you want to lock me up? What did that woman do to you? Why are you locking me up?"
The Prince of Zhennan no longer wanted to speak to his daughter and turned away. There was little pity in his eyes.
He does only have one daughter now, but he's only in his thirties. If things go smoothly, he can have as many children as he wants in the future.
After playing the devoted lover for so long, I never expected that even you, Xuan Ning, would believe that he deeply loves the princess.
He and the princess were indeed childhood sweethearts, but they didn't spend much time together, and their relationship wasn't particularly deep.
He was doing fairly well with the princess, but he had to play the role of a devoted lover and make someone believe that he was unwavering in his love for the princess.
To make someone believe that they deeply love the princess, that they only want to marry her, and that they only want to have children with her.
They had originally planned to remain childless, but unexpectedly, the princess became pregnant, and the child came unexpectedly.
But she loved the princess so much, and she couldn't bear to lose any of the child. Fortunately, she was carrying a girl.
He just didn't expect that the princess would have a very difficult childbirth and would die shortly after the baby was born, which saved him a lot of trouble.
There was only one girl who couldn't pose a threat. The princess passed away in the year he loved her the most, leaving an indelible mark on his heart, and he never had the heart to marry anyone else.
Having no heir and the death of his beloved, he had no desire for power and did not want to compete for it. Because of this, the emperor was much less wary of him.
They were brothers, that's true, but the struggle for imperial power is never short of brothers killing each other.
One person had been sitting in their seat for too long and was worried that others would covet it, so they were always on guard.
Another fought on the battlefield, teetering on the brink of death several times, yet was still suspected. Despite sharing the same bloodline and having sacrificed more, was he denied the position simply because he was the younger brother? Why?
So the two brothers appeared to be friendly and respectful to each other, but in reality, there were undercurrents of tension between them.
Neither of them were good people, but they were equally capable of governing a country, so the Wansheng Sect Master didn't say much when he learned that his junior brother was secretly helping the Prince of Zhennan.
…
Everyone saw that Wan Ge had returned safely, and that the people outside the valley had already withdrawn. They figured it was all a misunderstanding, so they all left.
Xiao Feng looked at Wan Ge with a happy expression, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Fang. If it weren't for you, the disciples of Medicine King Valley would have been living in fear for who knows how long."
"This matter is also related to me, it's what I should do, Young Master Feng, you don't need to be so polite."
Xiao Feng coughed lightly: "Don't call me Young Master Xiao Feng anymore, it feels so awkward. How about this, I'll call you Sister Fang from now on, and you can just call me Xiao Feng."
"Okay." Wan Ge reached out and patted Xiao Feng's head.
When she looked up, she met Luo Qingmu's eyes, and Wan Ge smiled and nodded at him.
Luo Qingmu's eyes were filled with complex emotions, but he still nodded to her.
Wan Ge felt that there was something wrong with his gaze, but she didn't say anything.
…
That evening, as Wan Ge was about to close the window, she saw a person sitting on the roof not far away.
Wan Ge, who had originally planned to close the window and go to sleep, put on her coat and went out again.
While wondering how to get up there, I saw a ladder not far away, so I moved the ladder over and finally climbed onto the roof.
Luo Qingmu heard the noise but didn't pay attention. He was wondering which disciple it was, but he didn't expect it to be Wan Ge.
Luo Qingmu looked somewhat surprised, but didn't seem to mind her arrival.
Wan Ge asked about the seat next to him, "May I sit here?"
Luo Qingmu nodded obediently, and Wan Ge then asked, "Why is my benefactor sitting here alone so late?"
Luo Qingmu looked up at the starry sky and the bright moon.
Wan Ge followed his lead and looked up at the sky. She had to admit that the sky over Divine Doctor Valley was truly beautiful: "So beautiful! So our benefactor is looking at the stars?"
Luo Qingmu nodded again.
Wan Ge was quietly gazing at the starry sky with him when suddenly Luo Qingmu pulled out a pen—from who-knows-where—and then a stack of small papers. He wrote on them: "Who are you?"
"My name is Fang Wange, right? Don't you already know, my benefactor?" The moonlight was bright, because some patients might have emergencies at night, so the Valley of Divine Healers was well-lit at night. There were many torches around, and fire prevention measures were in place.
Therefore, even at night, Wan Ge could easily see the words written by Luo Qingmu.
After answering, Wan Ge suddenly paused, as if she remembered that the persona she had originally created was someone who had never been to school.
But since I've already answered, there's nothing more to argue about.
Soon, Luo Qingmu wrote another sentence on the paper: "I've investigated; there haven't been any reports of any assassination manuals recently."
Although the Valley of Divine Healers rarely hears about the outside world, it's only because they are focused on studying medicine and are not particularly curious about what's going on outside. They have saved countless martial arts heroes, so it would be incredibly easy for them to find out anything.
Wan Ge was also surprised that they would actually inquire about things outside the home. Perhaps he really felt that he was too strange?
Wan Ge pondered, but she couldn't think of anything that might have given her away. Could it be because of the Prince of Zhennan?
After sighing, Wan Ge replied, "Okay, I admit it, I don't actually have a husband who's being hunted down. But I have my reasons for hiding my identity."
