Hua Wuxin pointed at himself and added, "I'm your brother-in-law."
"Go to hell, have no shame."
Tang Chen smiled and said, "Pfft, come to think of it, Yan Zhou calls you aunt, and I call you sister, isn't that a generation gap?"
Wang Ruo raised her eyebrows and folded her hands, saying, "Don't think I don't know. He's been calling me Wang Ruo and Wang Ruo behind my back quite happily. I've given you special permission to call me by my name from now on."
"This, isn't appropriate," Hua Wuxin was about to remind Wang Ruo that this was not right, but just as she was about to say it, she saw Wang Ruo's sharp eyes and quickly changed her words: "As long as you are happy, as long as you are happy."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen teased, "Look, big news! Thrilling straight man quotes from the hot spring villa!"
...Tang Chen was leisurely chatting and sipping tea at the hot spring villa, but Qiu Liang was suffering. Princess Feng Lai had been following Qiu Liang all the way. No matter how hard he tried to shake her off, as soon as he showed up, this annoying person would catch up with him.
After several rounds of this cat-and-mouse game, Princess Fenglai's stamina began to wear thin. As the saying goes, the monk may escape, but the temple cannot. Fenglai immediately changed her target and left the palace for the military camp.
When Princess Fenglai showed up at the military camp with her men, it had to be said that they attracted quite a bit of attention. However, in order to prevent military secrets from being leaked, Zhong Qin personally brought her to the door of Wang Yanzhou's study after learning of her arrival.
"Is the prince here?"
"Yes, Princess, please wait a moment while Zhong Qin goes to inform us."
It was unclear what Zhong Qin said to Wang Yanzhou after she entered the room. After a while, he finally opened the door and welcomed her in. Wang Yanzhou was somewhat surprised to see her coming to him on her own initiative: "Princess, why are you here?"
"I have something to talk to you about," Feng Lai said as he signaled Yingchun and the others to close the door.
"...Please explain clearly, Princess."
Feng Lai said bluntly: "I want the Qilin Guard beside Madam Tang."
Wang Yanzhou had thought Feng Lai had come for Liang Shuyi's matter, but he hadn't expected that after just a few days, her focus would have shifted to someone else. It must be said that a woman who could let go easily was still worthy of love: "Princess, are you talking about Qiu Liang?"
Feng Lai didn't know the name of the Qilin Guard, but she had observed that he was the only one who often hung around Tang Chen these days, so she should be right: "It's him. I know that the Qilin Guard is the elite secret guard of Qingliang Valley, with only a hundred people. But finding another one for Madam Tang shouldn't be a problem."
Although the Qilin Guards were the secret guards of Qingliang Valley, they were also human beings. When Wang Zhen formed this group, he adhered to the principle of putting people first. They would inform him in advance of who they would be protecting and what they would be doing. In the end, unless there were special circumstances, they would still respect the opinions of these secret guards. "That being said, we also need to ask Qiuliang for his opinion."
"Your words are enough. I'll ask for the rest." After saying that, Princess Fenglai left without looking back, leaving Wang Yanzhou and Zhong Qin at the door confused.
Wang Yanzhou held his forehead with his hand and sighed, then said, "...Call Nianqing over. I have something to tell him."
"yes."
Yingchun, who had been holding back a lot of words all the way, started to express her opinions again after returning to the palace, even before returning to Fenglai's courtyard: "Princess, it's against the rules for us to do this. Princess, you are already married, how can you take the initiative to ask the prince for guards!"
Hearing these rather instructive words, Feng Lai stopped and said, "Yingchun, if I remember correctly, it seems that I am the master."
Yingchun's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was stunned for a long moment before she realized Feng Lai Yan Yunzhong's dissatisfaction with her. She quickly knelt down and said, "...Yingchun has overstepped her bounds. Please forgive me, Princess."
Xixin, who was standing aside, said nothing, but just shook her head slightly. Fenglai also said, "There are some things I didn't want to talk about originally. I thought I could just turn a blind eye and let it go. But Yingchun, you seem to be ignoring me less and less lately."
"Yingchun is terrified!"
"You and I grew up together, and you know my temper best. So, everything you did under my nose, I thought was because you cared too much about me. But, I am your master, the only master in your life. You have no right to decide my every move, nor can you tell others about it at will."
“……!”
When Feng said this, Yingchun's shock was obvious, and so was her sadness. Yingchun could be said to be her first friend. Although there was a difference in status between them when they were young, no matter what Yingchun did, she would tell her and support her.
I don't know if it's because of time, or if Yingchun just thinks Fenglai is still the same as before. She's unruly and headstrong, she knows it all. She's just fighting fate, she doesn't want to be a princess at all.
She had always thought Yingchun was the one who understood her best, but now she realized that she was just like everyone else. Especially when she discovered that Yingchun was telling her every move to the princesses and the queen in the palace who were dissatisfied with her, she almost doubted her life.
Yingchun had been alone since childhood, so she wouldn't threaten her family. Today, Fenglai finally said what he had been wanting to say all these years: "I hope this is the last time. If there is a next time, then go back to Shu. You face the wall and reflect on your past for half an hour. Let's go."
"yes."
Unlike the high morale of Qingliang Valley, everyone in Qinghe County was in danger. Anyone with even the slightest connection to Qingliang Valley was rounded up and brought back. Every day, someone was dragged out of the already crowded cells and tortured. This was partly to extract information about Qingliang Valley from them, and partly simply because some South Vietnamese people wanted to vent their emotions.
When Su Zhirou was roughly thrown back into the cell, there was not a single spot left on her body. Seeing her like this, Madam Liu Yong, who was imprisoned with her, her eyes suddenly turned red. She was half concerned for this fragile girl, and half worried that she would suffer the same fate in the near future. "How could these bastards be so cruel to a girl?"
Su Zhirou curled up on the ground in pain. If she moved even slightly, the pain in her body would kill her in a matter of minutes: "Sister Liu, I'm fine, don't worry..."
Madam Liu took off her coat and covered Su Zhirou with it. She then tore her handkerchief into small strips and bandaged her with it. "It's already this late. I don't know when Qingliang Valley will send someone to rescue us. I'm afraid it will be too late..."
