When Shu Yang arrived at the tower ahead of time, Yao Chen had already arrived. If he hadn't been wearing the cloak that Shu Yang had seen before, she would have been unable to find him for a while.
When Shu Yang saw Yao Chen's new face, he took several steps back as if frightened: "Brother, you, your face..."
Yao Chen smiled, turned around and looked at the lights under the city wall. "It's just a mask. When he sees my face like this, will he think of my mother? Will he think of the son he burned to death in the fire?"
Shu Yang probably guessed Yao Chen's intention in calling him out this time, so he grabbed Yao Chen's arm and said, "You can't see him!"
He had barely managed to survive. If Emperor Gan Zhao discovered he was still alive, how could he allow such a huge stain to remain in the world? At the time, the story spread that the fire was caused by the eunuchs' carelessness in watching the fire. If he escaped on his own... No, no, even if what happened back then was indeed Emperor Gan Zhao's fault, she couldn't let him die.
Yao Chen asked with a smile: "Why?"
Shu Yang explained anxiously: "He will definitely kill you!"
Yao Chen raised his head and laughed, then said coldly, "If he can kill me once, he will definitely kill me a second time. What am I afraid of? I just want to know why he did that to me, and why he did that to the Queen."
"Can……"
Yao Chen knew Shu Yang didn't want anything to happen to him, but the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. If he couldn't get an answer from him in this lifetime, he would crawl out of hell. "Don't say anymore. Help me take care of the palace. I need to see him."
"yes……"
After Shu Yang left, the Master slowly emerged from the darkness with Xihe: "Do you need us to follow?"
Although Yao Chen has decided to face Emperor Gan Zhao alone, it does not mean that he can still be bullied like he was in the past: "Of course, I will have to rely on you to help me leave when the time comes."
The master's Qinggong skills were truly superb, and it wasn't difficult for him to escape from the Forbidden Palace with someone. Wang Ruo had asked him to come along, presumably hoping he could bring Yao Chen back safely. As for Xihe, to be honest, she still wasn't quite sure why he had asked her to come along; although she had asked Wang Ruo to accompany her early on, "What can I do?"
Yao Chen and his husband exchanged a glance before saying, "...I'll take you to the Qingliang Palace. You wait for us there."
Xihe didn't think much of it and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'm a burden to you too. Just send me over when you're ready."
...After Tang Chen adjusted his mood and physical condition, he came to the place where the fake Tang Chen was imprisoned with the help of Wang Yanzhou.
Tang Chen had once wondered if there was someone in this world who looked exactly like her, living in a different place, with a different name, and under the same sky. But she had lived for over twenty years and had never encountered one, and she had never expected to meet this person under such circumstances.
Looking at her face, those in the palace who were close to Tang Chen were more or less hesitant to do it. Tang Chen didn't waste any time talking to her and asked directly, "Miss, let me be frank. I don't think they could do it to your face, and I don't have the heart to do it. Just tell me the truth. Who sent you here? And do you really look like this?"
The fake Tang Chen leisurely stopped in front of the iron bars, smiled lightly, and said, "My voice and appearance are naturally given by my parents. As for the person behind me, Your Majesty, you naturally know."
Tang Chen glanced at Wang Yanzhou and saw that he was also confused. Then he said, "...Miss, stop playing dumb. It's shameful to waste time. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
According to her impeccable analysis, the fake Tang Chen's words and actions didn't seem like a bad person, but rather gave people the feeling of a hermit. She remained calm in her cage, as if she had no desires, no fear of life or death.
Wang Yanzhou initially thought she was genuine, perhaps because of her personality. But in reality, Tang Chen wasn't that kind of person. If she were caught, her first thoughts would be either to escape, to panic, or to create an atmosphere. Clearly, this fake Tang Chen's personality was a figment of Wang Yanzhou's imagination, hoping he could be like her.
Fake Tang Chen explained, "I have received a favor from that man, and I came here only to repay him. Your Highness, that man has something to give you."
Tang Chen stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, then take it out."
"hehe."
Tang Chen stamped his feet. This little sister is really amazing. "Hey, sister, I'm leaving now. I'll go back to the house first and come back as soon as I'm done asking questions."
Wang Yanzhou bowed and said, "Yes, Madam, take care."
... Not long after Tang Chen returned to the room, Wang Yanzhou hurried back, changing his clothes and saying, "I have to go out for a while, so don't wait for me for dinner. I'm going to discuss some things with Chen Xin first. If you feel that there are not enough people for dinner, I will ask everyone to come and eat with you. Remember to take your medicine and don't be greedy and eat spicy food, okay?"
Tang Chen listened to his explanation of this series of words, but none of them were important: "Where are you going, what are you doing, and when will you be back?"
"Don't worry, it will be quick!"
After saying that, Wang Yanzhou ran away. Tang Chen had an injury on his waist and didn't dare to run, so he could only look at the direction he left with a dark face.
The more Tang Chen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. So, he stood in the yard and started yelling, "Li Xinzhai, Li Ergou, where are they? Where did they go?"
Hei Ya was squatting on the rooftop, thinking about life. When she heard Tang Chen calling her, she thought something had happened. When she came down, she saw her standing there with her hands on her hips, as if she was having a seizure. "You're calling me, what's wrong?"
Tang Chen said seriously: "Old Wang ran away. You know about this, right?"
Black Crow rolled his eyes at her and said impatiently, "I saw it, I'm not blind."
Tang Chen slapped him on the shoulder. As her most loyal comrade, shouldn't they all advance and retreat together? "Accompany me to ask that young lady. I want to know what they whispered about!"
Black Crow smiled and said, "I could ask before, but I'm afraid I can't now."
"What's the meaning?"
Black Crow explained concisely, "After your old Wang came out of there, he asked Wang Nianqing to send the people away. Based on Wang Nianqing's running speed and the current wind speed, he should be almost out of the city now. It's impossible to catch up with him."
After Tang Chen heard this, his whole face was filled with disbelief: "Oh my god!"
Black Crow knew that Tang Chen was worried about Wang Yanzhou, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, who can control your Old Wang?"
