Originally, Feng Beichuan wanted to turn around and ask Li Chang'an if it was natural for women to start their day by applying makeup, regardless of where they were or whether they needed to do so.
But then he thought again and Feng Beichuan ultimately didn't ask. Looking at the naturally clean and refreshing appearance of the woman beside him, and then at Yan Qianhe, with her willow-leaf eyebrows, fair skin, and meticulously applied rouge, as well as the jingling hairpins and jewels all over her head, he could tell that although the two were both women, they were from completely different worlds.
Li Chang'an seemed unsurprised by this. Although she knew Yan Qianhe far less than Feng Beichuan, she showed no sign of misunderstanding.
Then, Li Chang'an turned to Feng Beichuan and said, "Let's set off as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan immediately nodded, as he had the same idea. He then added, "Then let's go now?"
Just then, Li Chang'an suddenly remembered that they seemed to have left someone behind. He turned around and saw that Liang Xuanjing was still fast asleep, leaning against the big rock. So he prepared to go over and wake him up.
Unexpectedly, she had barely taken a step when Feng Beichuan reached out and blocked her way.
Li Chang'an raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering what this person meant.
Feng Beichuan then said in a pretentious manner, "I see that Young Master Liang is sleeping quite soundly here. He must be quite used to the climate and environment here. Why don't we let him stay here for a few more days? We shouldn't spoil his fun."
Hearing these high-sounding, even somewhat absurd, words, Li Chang'an was speechless for a moment. Then he said, "Isn't this a bit too kind? If we really leave him here, with our son away from home for so long, Vice Minister Liang will probably go crazy."
Upon hearing this, Feng Beichuan showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, he stated firmly, "That's someone else's family matter; we have no right to interfere."
"Chang'an, this guy surnamed Liang is so noisy. He never stops talking except when he's sleeping. Just thinking about his incessant chatter gives me a headache..."
Then, Feng Beichuan leaned close to Li Chang'an's ear and whispered some complaints.
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an frowned slightly and thought about it. She felt that what Feng Beichuan said made sense. Just as she was hesitating about whether to ask Liang Xuanjing to go back with her, the man suddenly yawned and got up from the rock.
"Beautiful sister? I never thought I would be so lucky to be woken up by a beautiful sister. It's really refreshing and makes me feel great!"
Liang Xuanjing stretched and loosened his muscles, then grinned at Yan Qianhe.
His obedient, almost infuriatingly docile appearance made Li Chang'an and Feng Beichuan feel a chill run down their spines and a sour taste in their stomachs.
Sure enough, this person's mouth never stops except when he's sleeping, and most of the time he likes to spout some outrageous nonsense.
He was enjoying himself immensely, but he didn't care at all about the feelings of others.
But Yan Qianhe was actually quite susceptible to this. Liang Xuanjing's flattery immediately made her very happy, and then she said, "You must not have slept well on the rock last night, right? Go have a cup of tea to wake up, we're going to go back now."
Feng Beichuan was somewhat angry at Yan Qianhe's actions. He wondered what kind of karmic entanglement this was, that he couldn't get rid of this person no matter what.
His brow throbbed with pain, and he couldn't help but glare at Yan Qianhe, only to find their eyes meeting by sheer bad luck.
Seeing Feng Beichuan's demanding expression, Yan Qianhe naturally understood what was going on, but he only smiled faintly at him and then casually said, "Young Master Liang, we'd better hurry up, otherwise the Regent will get impatient!"
These words left Feng Beichuan speechless. He could only angrily walk to the side and sit down, too lazy to pay any more attention to these people to avoid causing himself more trouble.
Seeing this, Li Chang'an had no choice but to step in as a peacemaker, and it took him a lot of effort to resolve the impending bloodshed between the two.
Just then, Tao Yaojun, who had disappeared early in the morning, returned from outside. He looked relaxed and content, seemingly in a very good mood, completely different from the day before.
Upon seeing everyone, he immediately stepped forward with a joyful expression, and then began to chatter on and on: "It's truly amazing! Look at my cave dwelling. I originally thought it would definitely be affected after just one night, but to my surprise, it hasn't changed at all! Look at the fairy grass. It has extremely strict requirements for its growing environment and is very precious. I originally thought that these plants would definitely not survive after that water mixed with poison was poured into this place, but who knew that they would still be growing well. This is truly a treasure land blessed with natural beauty!"
Everyone present, except for Li Chang'an, naturally treated Tao Yaojun's words as mere gossip.
Since this place hasn't been affected, that's naturally the best thing.
However, after listening to Tao Yaojun's words, Li Chang'an couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
She couldn't help but recall the series of strange events that had just occurred with her dagger, wondering if there was any connection between the two.
However, Li Chang'an ultimately did not reveal the matter of the dagger. Firstly, he felt that the matter had not caused any negative impact and there was no need to talk about it.
Secondly, I also thought that this Xuanming was too eye-catching. As a famous weapon, the divine spear was also targeted because it was made public. So it was best not to cause any more trouble.
So Li Chang'an secretly thought that after she returned, he would study the mystery of his dagger in detail, and as for this matter, he would leave it aside for the time being.
Before leaving, Yan Qianhe turned to Tao Yaojun and said, "I will come over once her poison is completely cured. Take good care of yourself!"
Li Chang'an also said very earnestly, "Then I will entrust the Vermilion Bird to your care for the next two days. I will never thank you for this great favor, and I will remember it forever."
Feng Beichuan nodded slightly to Tao Yaojun, then silently followed closely beside Li Chang'an.
"Brother Taoyao, I'll be taking my leave now. When you return to the capital, don't forget to let me know. I'll definitely be able to break your chess puzzle then!"
Liang Xuanjing still wore his signature bright smile. After speaking, he winked at the other person, looking every bit the optimist.
