Tang Chen continued, "Didn't you want him to be alive earlier? Now he's standing right in front of you alive. Don't accuse me of lying, Shuyi. You should explain yourself for causing such a mess in love. This place is for the two of you."
After saying that, Tang Chen carried the sleepy baby in her arms and quickly fled the room that could soon turn into a Shura field. After leaving, the Qilin Guard wanted to follow her, but Tang Chen kept them, saying, "Watch them carefully and don't let them do anything wrong. If you can't control them, just knock them down."
"clear."
Tang Chen, holding his child, quickly fled the battlefield in the afterglow of the sunset. After thinking it over again and again, he felt that the palace was no longer safe, so he simply left the palace and went to the hot spring villa.
When Tang Chen arrived at the hot spring villa, the lights were just coming on. Hua Wuxin had just finished taking a medicinal bath and was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and enjoying the breeze.
Hua Wuxin saw Tang Chen coming over here in the dark, holding the child, and hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Hey, why are you here at this time? Have you eaten?"
Tang Chen replied breathlessly, "I ate it. But I'm here to seek refuge. If nothing unexpected happens, Liang Shuyi will come after me soon."
Hua Wuxin saw that she seemed to have run all the way here, so she took the sweet burden from her hand. The little kid in Tang Chen's arms had already woken up, and now he was observing this somewhat unfamiliar environment with his big eyes. "Puff. Yeah, it's a little heavier. Why do I see this kid so often? It's like he's growing taller as soon as I see him."
Tang Chen picked up the teapot on the table and took a gulp. Then, his face brightened as he spoke, "Children, if they eat well, sleep well, and have no worries, they will naturally grow up fast. By the way, is there any news about Wang Ruo? Has Xihe been found?"
Speaking of Xihe, although there was some regret, Wang Ruo still had to listen to her words: "...Not yet, but the aftermath of the secret cave has been almost dealt with, and she will be back soon."
Tang Chen couldn't help but sigh again: "Alas, I feel like I can't help at all. I don't know anything about leading troops in battle, marching and arranging battle formations, and I'm a mess taking care of the housework."
Hua Wuxin patiently pointed out, "You're so young, yet you're sighing every day. Do you want to shorten your life? They say everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will get better over time. Besides, you're not in good health yet, so there's no need to worry too much. Besides, it's not the point where everyone is in danger yet."
Although not everyone is in danger, Tang Chen still feels bad when he thinks of the innocent people in Qinghe County who were implicated by him. "You know the situation at Tianshu Tower. What do you think Xiahou Qing will do next?"
Hua Wuxin took the tea pets from the table and said calmly, "To be honest, I can't guess."
Tang Chen said, "Aren't those of you who do business very smart?"
Hua Wuxin didn't deny this, but Xiahou Qing's way of doing things was different from that of a businessman: "That's what I said, but Xiahou Qing is an old fox, and he's really hard to figure out."
Tang Chen continued to ask: "Then, what about Lin Feng? What do you think of this person?"
Hua Wuxin raised his eyes and thought for a moment before organizing his words. "Lin Feng, I actually quite admire this young man. It's just that you two have different positions now, so I think you might find what I'm saying too acceptable. So, what exactly do you want to ask?"
Tang Chen rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly and said, "Nothing. Actually, I don't know what happened recently. I suddenly remembered an old story and wanted to ask you to help look it up."
Hua Wuxin said very straightforwardly: "Oh, tell me about it."
"The Jiangdu Su family collapsed overnight a few years ago and has never recovered. Do you know what happened?"
Tang Chen was worried that Hua Wuxin might not remember this incident for a while, so he added, "At the time, I only heard that the Su family seemed to have offended the powerful in the court, which led to this end. But I still remember the banquet that the Su family held when they chose a husband for Su Zhirou. I really can't figure out who they offended to end up like that in the blink of an eye."
If it were any other past event, Hua Wuxin might have forgotten it over time. But he had also disguised himself when the Jiangdu Su family held that literary banquet. Of course, disguise required more than just technique.
He remembered that he had happened upon Yan Shaoqing and Wang Yanzhou's bet, and he had gotten involved, disguising himself as Jiang Wanying and teasing them both. Yan Shaoqing had actually mistaken him for Wang Yanzhou's disguise, chasing him all the way. Thinking back on that scene, it had only been a few years. It felt like a lifetime ago.
"I was also somewhat interested in this matter before, so I had someone investigate it. But apart from finding out who was in the palace that day, the deeper reasons are somewhat unclear. But if my guess is correct, it should be related to Tianshu Tower."
Ever since Tang Chen arrived here, ever since she met Wang Yanzhou, the three words "Tianshu Tower" have been lingering in her ears like a ghostly nightmare: "I'm just confused. Tianshu Tower's series of actions, you said it was for Nanyue, but apart from being rich, the Su family doesn't seem to have anything special that needs attention."
Hua Wuxin concluded, "That's why Xiahou Qing is so unpredictable."
Anyway, there was nothing she could do to help them right now. She wanted to run away to Qinghe County, but she didn't have the ability to save people, so she might as well study Tianshu Tower carefully. Who knows, maybe she'd stumble upon the secrets behind their strange behavior. "Boss Hua, how about this? Please help me collect all the inexplicable things that Tianshu Tower has done secretly since my time."
Hua Wuxin asked with a smile: "Why, you want to get involved too?"
Tang Chen explained quite seriously, "Every citizen has a share of responsibility for the fate of their country. This may not be my country, but it is the country of my husband, my lifelong friend, so naturally I will do my part."
This reason could convince Hua Wuxin: "That's a good idea. Did you bring the things?"
Hearing this, Tang Chen snatched his baby from his arms, holding the baby and took two steps back: "I say, you are such a materialistic person. You came here all for money, but talking about money is so hurtful!"
Hua Wuxin said with a smile: "I'm sorry, but being in a relationship costs money. I have a big family to support. And look at Wang Ruo, I can't bear to see her eating coarse food."
Tang Chen thought about his already pitifully small private savings and couldn't help but shed tears of regret. Is it too late to regret now? "My little savings will be ripped off by you sooner or later. No wonder it's called a black market!"
