Xuan Tianming and Bai Ze rushed all the way to the East Territory. Three days later, they met up with the secret guard who had been sent to the East Territory to inquire about the situation. The secret guard told him: "The Seventh Prince changed the route temporarily and did not go straight to Fuzhou as originally planned. I met with the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince just said that the original route was too slow and he wanted to take another shortcut. At the same time, the Seventh Prince also said that Bu Cong appeared in the capital of our Dashun, and hoped that the master could abandon the East and return to Beijing to help the princess."
Xuan Tianming listened to the secret guard's words, his eyebrows knitted tightly together. The reason why Lao Qi changed the route sounded reasonable, but it didn't stand up to scrutiny. Taking a shortcut? Where is the shortcut? The road from the capital to the eastern border has been traveled for many years. If there is a shortcut, it would have been planned under the marching route of Dashun. Not taking the most familiar road, but taking a detour, Xuan Tianming thought, that was not taking a shortcut, but deliberately creating trouble for his pursuit, so that he couldn't catch up with the army so easily.
As for the capital, Bu Cong's appearance in the capital was something Xuan Tianming had never expected. To be honest, he was very worried after hearing the news. Bu Cong had disappeared for many years and reappeared, and he was bound to launch a series of revenge against Dashun. Whether it was for the Bu family or for himself. Among the enemies of this revenge, Feng Yuheng was the first to bear the brunt.
"Master, should we continue eastward or return to the capital?" Bai Ze was at a loss. What if Bu Cong attacked Feng Yuheng when he arrived in Dashun Capital? Although Feng Yuheng was a fairy in his eyes, there was always a chance of something going wrong, and this chance was something none of them could afford.
Xuan Tianming did not answer, and fell into deep thought. Should I continue to go east or return to Beijing? Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother! You really gave me a difficult problem.
Capital city, Lotus Palace.
Feng Zhaolian packed her luggage and asked Jingwei Yunxiao, "Is the carriage ready? Is the carriage comfortable? Add a few more quilts. It's cold in late autumn, especially at night. My little body can't stand it."
Yun Xiao nodded helplessly and replied, "Everything is ready in the car. Not only are there extra blankets, but I also brought a lot of clothes and food for the master. But, master, do you really have to go?"
Feng Zhaolian glared and said, "Of course! If the Seventh Prince of Dashun leads his troops to war and I don't go with him to share the joys and sorrows, what kind of true love is that?"
"Master!" Yun Xiao frowned and reminded him, "The seventh prince of Dashun is already engaged to the third young lady of the Feng family."
"So what?" Feng Zhaolian rolled her eyes charmingly, "It's just an engagement, isn't it? Besides, even if we're married, so what? At most I'll be a concubine! Don't worry, your master can bear that grievance."
But Yun Xiao couldn't afford to feel wronged!
Yun Xiao gritted his teeth in anger, "The old prince's greatest wish before he passed away was that your illness could be effectively treated, but my master, it can be cured now, why do you want to give up? The Seventh Prince is a man, how can you find a man..."
"Shut up!" Feng Zhaolian waved her hands in annoyance. "You say these things every day. I am tired of listening to you. Okay, okay, I have made up my mind. I must go on this trip to the Super East Realm. Yun Xiao, do you know? I have to save the Seventh Prince! He is not helping Xuan Tianming to lead the troops for a while, he is going to die for Xuan Tianming! I know the situation in my heart, I know everything, so I must go to save him. Hurry up, drive the car to the front of the mansion, let's go now."
"Husband! Where are you going?" Wu Lisheng's voice came from behind.
Feng Zhaolian felt a headache. He got up early today and was ready to take action before dawn, just to avoid Wu Lisheng. This woman was too troublesome. She was crazy and stupid. She insisted on calling him husband. He was almost broken by her.
But I didn’t expect that despite all the precautions, I still couldn’t prevent it!
Feng Zhaolian looked back and saw Wu Lisheng running out in his underwear without even having time to put on his coat. The maid behind him was jogging after him, holding his coat, but she couldn't catch up with Wu Lisheng.
"Look at how troublesome women are! How can they be better than men?" Feng Zhaolian complained to Yun Xiao, "What does this crazy and trembling look like?"
But Yun Xiao agreed with Wu Lisheng and even called her Madam. He said to Feng Zhaolian, "Madam is right. This is the life you should live. If you listen to my advice, let Princess Yu cure her illness, and then live a stable life with Madam as the old prince hopes. We don't lack money in our house. You can spend it however you want. The better your life, the better. Why bother to wade into the muddy water of the Dashun royal family?" Haven't you waded through enough of Qian Zhou's muddy water? Yun Xiao wanted to say this to Feng Zhaolian, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips. Everything about Qian Zhou was a nightmare to Feng Zhaolian. If he mentioned it again, it would be like stabbing Feng Zhaolian in the heart again.
"What do you mean by wading into muddy water?" Feng Zhaolian disagreed, and pointed at Wu Lisheng and said dissatisfiedly: "You want me to marry a crazy woman?"
"I'm not crazy!" Wu Lisheng finally stood in front of him and spoke: "Husband, you always say I'm crazy, how am I crazy?"
"If you're not crazy, why are you calling me husband?" Feng Zhaolian was speechless. "Alright, stop trying to stop me. I have to leave today. No one can stop me."
"Where are you going?" Wu Lisheng asked with a frown, then thought for a moment and turned back to the maid and said, "Quick, prepare the package for me. I will go with my husband."
"What are you going to do?" Feng Zhaolian was almost mad. "I tell you, Wu Lisheng, if you continue to be unreasonable, I will send someone to send you back to the Northern Territory to find your father. From now on, you will never come back to the capital, and you will never see me again. Think about it carefully, do you want to be sent back to the Northern Territory, or do you want to wait for me to come back obediently in this Lian Mansion?"
Wu Lisheng was stunned, and the hand that was holding Feng Zhaolian's sleeve loosened in surprise. Feng Zhaolian took advantage of this opportunity to pull Yun Xiao and ran away. They almost ran away from the Lotus Mansion, and then got on the carriage. Yun Xiao whipped the long whip, and the carriage sped away. After they had gone a long way, Feng Zhaolian lifted the curtain of the carriage and shouted to Wu Lisheng: "Go back to the North Realm! There is no hope for the two of us! I'm going to find Xuan Tianhua, find Xuan Tianhua! Hahahaha!"
Wu Lisheng was still standing at the gate of the mansion, Feng Zhaolian's laughter made her shudder. The maid next to her reminded her: "Miss, everyone has left, let's go back too! It's cold outside, we can't stay outside for too long."
Finally she came to her senses, with a bitter smile on her face. She did not embarrass the girl, she took the coat from the maid and put it on herself, then walked back obediently. But the bitterness in her heart gradually showed on her face, and finally turned into tears, bursting out.
This was the man she fell in love with at first sight! She was willing to go crazy and leave her hometown just to be with him. No matter whether his illness could be cured or not, she would stay with him. As long as she could be with him for one more day, she would be happy.
But after pretending to be crazy for so many years, he still couldn't keep that person! Wu Lisheng raised his hand to wipe the tears from his cheek. It was cold, just like this mansion without Feng Zhaolian.
"Miss, Prince Lian is going after the Seventh Prince. You think he won't really get involved with the Seventh Prince, right? If he really gets involved and never comes back, what should we do?" The maidservant beside her thought about this matter and felt a little troubled. "In my opinion, we should go back to the Northern Territory! There is no hope if we continue to stay here. The mind of Prince Lian is strange and hard to figure out. He can't even tell whether you are a man or a woman. Why are you still thinking about him? It's better to go back and be filial to Master Wu. Master will also help you marry into a good family. It's better than staying here without a name or status."
The little maidservant felt very sorry for her. The maidservant who had followed her from the northern border felt sorry for her young lady and always advised her to go back.
But Wu Lisheng told her firmly: "Don't call me Miss, call me Madam! I am his wife Feng Zhaolian, not a Miss of the Wu family anymore."
"But the Lotus King only has the Seventh Prince in his heart! He even chased the Seventh Prince to the East Realm, he..." △≧*(*)△≧,
"He's not doing it for the Seventh Prince!" Wu Lisheng smiled bitterly, his eyes clear and bright, no longer crazy. "He's doing it for Duanmu Anguo. Haven't you heard? Duanmu Anguo is hanging out with the Zong Sui people. He's been looking for Duanmu Anguo for so long. Now that he's got the news, how can he not go?"
"Duanmu Anguo?" When people from the Northern Territory mentioned Duanmu Anguo, they all had an indelible fear, and this maid was no exception. They still remembered what Duanmu Anguo had done in the Northern Territory, and they still shuddered when they thought about it. The little maid took a breath and said in a trembling voice: "Is the Lotus King going to seek revenge on Duanmu Anguo? Then will he be... in danger?"
A look of sadness appeared on Wu Lisheng's face. He didn't answer, but stopped and stood at the gate of the small courtyard, crying like rain.
More than just danger, she always felt that Feng Zhaolian would never come back after this trip. Her androgynous body was caused by Duanmu Anguo. She knew that for Feng Zhaolian, killing Duanmu Anguo was the only way to survive. Feng Zhaolian had been searching for a day in all these years. In order to find out about Duanmu Anguo, he even tried his best to live in the palace. Now that he had news about Duanmu Anguo, how could he not go? He just found the excuse of the seventh prince to make his departure seem less sad.
Wu Lisheng thought, it was true that Feng Zhaolian had no feelings for her, but after a few years of getting along, he felt a little pity for her, otherwise he would not lie to her like that. She would be angry and hate him for using the Seventh Prince as a shield, but she would not collapse in despair. But King Lian! You know, I have known everything in my heart for so many years, and I know what you are going to do!
Wu Lisheng stood under the tree, crying for the whole morning, which frightened the maid, who was eager to ask a doctor to come and see her. But Wu Lisheng finally spoke, saying, "No need, I'm fine. If you must leave the house, find a coffin shop and order a good coffin. I'm afraid it will be ready soon..."
Feng Zhaolian, if you can't come back alive, I will carry the coffin to collect your body. We can't resist fate when we are alive, I hope I can die with you, and you won't reject me thousands of miles away again...
