The more Tang Chen and Hua Wuxin tried to change the subject, the more they tried to conceal the truth, the more uneasy Wang Yanzhou felt. Driven by this unease, for a moment, he even considered giving up on further questioning; he was afraid, and he would be afraid too. "...Never mind, let's discuss this after Wang Ruo gets better. I have no way to deal with you, so let's just see if Wang Ruo can get something out of Hua Wuxin."
Tang Chen grinned and gave a dry laugh, then searched around the room, but he didn't see any signs of a child in the cradle. "Oh, where's our little one? Why can't I see him?"
Wang Yanzhou saw that Tang Chen looked like he was half asleep, so he explained, "...You are now in the hot spring villa. Chen Xin said that he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he didn't allow us to move easily. I was afraid that the child would disturb your rest, so I brought him here to check on him and then let the wet nurse take him back. Shuyi is here to help take care of him, so you should just rest and recover first."
Resting was one thing, but Tang Chen suddenly realized that since Wang Yanzhou had begun to suspect that there was some hidden secret between her and Hua Wuxin, he might have noticed the subtle connection between their bodies. Thinking of this, Tang Chen asked casually, "By the way, what's wrong with me?"
Wang Yanzhou held Tang Chen’s hand and said, “Chen Xin said that his heart meridian was suspected to be damaged.”
"Heart pulse, huh..." Tang Chen looked up and met Wang Yanzhou's inquiring eyes. She knew she was not good at lying. If Wang Yanzhou asked a few more questions, she might be exposed. So she hurriedly said, "Well, don't get me wrong, I didn't know about it before! Well, some of my elders have had bad hearts. Maybe it's hereditary."
Sure enough, after hearing what Tang Chen said, Wang Yanzhou seemed to really believe it: "Such an important matter, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Tang Chen choked up a little and said, "Well, I've never had this symptom before. I think it's probably because I was too excited due to the extreme joy and sorrow."
Wang Yanzhou emphasized again: "I don't care about the little secrets between you and them, but one thing is, if there is anything, please don't hide it from me."
In order to prevent Wang Yanzhou from noticing the matter of the Life and Death Gu, Tang Chen could only use his brain again and try to change the subject: "You said I had a little secret, but you were the same. When we came back from Zhiyoulin before, didn't you and Mo Yu hide something from me? After that, no matter how I tried to get information out of him, he wouldn't reveal a word."
Wang Yanzhou's heart skipped a beat. If Tang Chen hadn't reminded him, he would have forgotten about it. "It can't be helped. We are all trustworthy people."
Tang Chen said magnanimously, "Then we're even. From now on, you won't ask me, and I won't ask you. When we each have our own plans, we can just talk about it."
Wang Yanzhou, who had been forced to change the subject, felt a little hesitant to continue asking questions after hearing this: "...I really can't do anything about you."
Tang Chen looked at the still pitch-black night outside and couldn't help but sigh. This night was really unusually long. "It's still early, but I can't sleep. How about we change the subject and discuss something serious?"
"You want to ask about the situation of those people in Qinghe County, right?" Wang Yanzhou knew what Tang Chen wanted to say. If Qiu Liang hadn't been there for him, he would have run away from home long ago, regardless of the consequences.
"Um!"
Lin Feng hadn't concealed a single detail about the situation of those in Qinghe County. He could easily find out who would be tortured by simply asking the people in the cells. Although the prisoners' days in prison were not easy, at least their lives were safe. As long as they were still alive, no problem was a problem: "Your lives are safe, don't worry."
Although someone would come to tell her every day that everyone in Qinghe County was still alive, it was far less reassuring than Wang Yanzhou's few words. Although the situation might be slightly different from what he said, she could tell when he was lying. "That's good, that's good. There's one more thing I'm curious about. Didn't you say earlier that you brought Queen Wang Zhen's coffin back to Qingliang Valley? How did her body end up with Wang Ruo?"
Wang Yanzhou answered in detail, "The body previously buried in Qingliang Valley was only revealed to me by Wang Ruo. It was a poor, innocent person. Mother and Yaochen were also on the verge of death in the fire. When Wang Ruo found them, she felt something was amiss, so she replaced them with others."
Tang Chen still had the same question as before: "What on earth does Xia Hou Qing want with this body? The person is gone, so why should he let his soul rest in peace?"
Wang Yanzhou was also puzzled by Xiahou Qing's actions. According to Wang Ruo, Wang Zhen's ice coffin contained nothing but her, the ice, and her clothes and jewelry. If Xiahou Qing only wanted to use a body to control Qingliang Valley and contain Wang Yanzhou, then his vision was too narrow. "What he's going to do is certainly not good. I asked Wang Ruo before, but she didn't quite understand."
As he was speaking, Tang Chen changed the subject again: "Alas, it would be great if I could go to Qinghe County now."
Wang Yanzhou's attitude was very firm. He could discuss other matters, but this one alone was not even open to negotiation: "Qinghe County has its own Lord Zhang. You, just stay in the valley honestly."
"Although I know the world is full of dangers, I still feel so sorry for the people in Qinghe County." To be honest, even Tang Chen herself found it annoying to say these words so often. But she didn't say these words, didn't make any plans, and besides taking care of the children and living a life of idleness, what else could she do? Everything now was completely different from what she had imagined when she first came here.
Wang Yanzhou patiently comforted her, "Don't worry. Although it's not convenient for Zhang Zhu to return to the city right now, she has full control over the city's movements. If anything unexpected happens, she will contact us in time."
...The next morning, while Tang Chen and Wang Yanzhou were drinking porridge in the house, they also asked someone to send some porridge to Hua Wuxin. Hua Wuxin saw that Wang Ruo was still asleep, so after asking someone to put the things down, he also tiptoed out to wash up.
When he quickly finished fighting and returned, the person on the bed was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, hunched over, quietly looking at their reflection in the mirror: "...When did you wake up? Why didn't you just rest in bed?"
