Seeing Wang Yanzhou's heavy expression, Tang Chen thought something serious might have happened in the barracks. He felt a little guilty for having been delayed here for two days. He wanted to help, so he took the initiative to ask, "What is it? Can I help?"
Wang Yanzhou took off the peach petals that accidentally fell on Tang Chen's hair and said, "It's just an insignificant matter. You go back first. I have to go find Nianqing."
Tang Chen pointed to the back door of the palace and said, "Well, we're already at the door. I'm not a child, it's okay. You've been back for two days, so go back to the camp. They need you more than I do."
…After Wang Yanzhou watched Tang Chen enter the room, he did not go to look for Wang Nianqing. Instead, he stood there, raised his hand slightly, and called softly, "Qiuliang."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu Liang appeared behind Wang Yanzhou as if he knew ninjutsu: "I'm here."
The matter between Tang Chen and Hua Wuxin made Wang Yanzhou very uneasy: "From today on, for twelve hours, do not leave the lady's side. Make sure she is within your observation range."
"clear."
Wang Yanzhou added: "Especially when she was in contact with Hua Wuxin, no matter what they said, she would report it word for word."
"yes."
After Qiu Liang returned to Tang Chen, Wang Yanzhou turned around and went to look for Yan Shaoqing. He had originally thought that Yue Sheng's death anniversary was approaching and he might not be around, but today he was lucky. When he came to look for him, Yan Shaoqing was explaining things to his men. If Yan Chongmao saw this scene, he might not be able to help but smile with relief.
When Wang Yanzhou saw Yan Shaoqing, his mind was filled with many thoughts. However, when he spoke, he did not forget the purpose of coming here to look for someone: "Shaoqing, how much do you know about the Ouyang family's black pearl?"
Although Yan Shaoqing was somewhat curious about why Wang Yanzhou suddenly remembered to ask him this question today, he didn't ask any further questions. After reminiscing for a moment, he said, "...A Sheng did briefly mention this pearl to me before. He said that the black pearl can only be used once, and can only save one person at a time. As long as that person still has one foot in the world of the living, he can be saved. Why did you suddenly ask me this today? Is there something wrong with Tang Chen after using the black pearl?"
Wang Yanzhou just said, "It's nothing, she's fine. But I'm suddenly curious about how Boss Hua pulled Ah Chen back from the brink of death."
Yan Shaoqing chuckled and suggested, "If Yanzhou really wants to know, why not ask Miss Hongyu? I heard that the Ouyang family used to have many connections with the Huangfu family, where Miss Hongyu is from. Maybe she might know something."
Wang Yanzhou thought for a moment and then asked, "Where is Hong Yu now?"
Yan Shaoqing looked out the window at the peach trees with crimson petals falling in the breeze and said, "The flowers of April are fading on earth, but the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are just beginning to bloom. The peach blossoms here are still withering, but the mountain cherry blossoms have just bloomed in the past few days. She's been there these days, you can go look for her there."
When Wang Yanzhou rushed to the mountain without stopping, Hong Yu was still wearing a red dress. At this moment, she was half lying on the branch of a mountain cherry tree, holding a wine pot in one hand and a black pottery jar in the other.
Seeing Wang Yanzhou approaching with no one else following him, Hong Yu jumped down from the tree and said, "Isn't this a busy man from Liang State? How did he find time to come here and enjoy the scenery?"
Wang Yanzhou saw the familiar pottery jar in Hong Yu's hand and asked helplessly, "Why did you bring him here too?"
Hong Yu lowered his head and gently stroked the urn in his hand, explaining with interest: "It's a pity to enjoy such a beautiful scenery alone. Not only him, but also his good brother, I brought him here too."
Wang Yanzhou looked up at the mountaintop covered in white snow and couldn't help but sigh. "...In the blink of an eye, the mountain cherry blossoms are blooming again."
Hong Yu also said, "Yes, it's spring again after all. Speaking of which, a few days ago a man came here and played the flute all night, saying that he was remembering an old friend. What about you, why are you here? I don't think I can help you."
Before Hong Yu could finish, Wang Yanzhou slapped him in the face and said, "Looking for you."
"Interesting," Hong Yu said, setting the wine jug aside and embracing Li Xinzhai's urn. It was a kind of hug. She had originally only wanted to enjoy the scenery with Mo Yu. But after thinking about his temper, she decided to secretly bring Li Xinzhai along.
"I have something to ask you..." Wang Yanzhou first asked Hong Yu about the Black Pearl, and then explained in detail the strange things Chen Xin had discovered about Tang Chen and Hua Wuxin. Hong Yu also told him everything she knew without reservation, including the matter of the Life and Death Gu.
After saying this, Hong Yu saw that Wang Yanzhou had remained silent, and thought that he didn't disbelieve him, so he subconsciously added: "This is all I know about the Black Pearl. However, I think this should answer your question just now."
Wang Yanzhou asked back, "Did you know this from the very beginning?"
Hong Yu nodded slightly and said, "Of course, I was just a little shocked at the time and couldn't react for a while. Besides, you didn't ask me, did you? I've finished my food and it's time to go back. Do you want to come with me?"
Wang Yanzhou stood under the mountain cherry blossoms, and snow-white petals slowly fell on his head, with the demeanor of a white-haired hermit: "You should go back first, and don't tell Tang Chen that I came to see you."
"Look, I'm in a better mood," Hong Yu said as he held Mo Yu and Li Xinzhai's jars, packed up the empty wine jug and some brown paper used to wrap food, and then went down the mountain.
Tang Chen had nothing to do, so he brought his little one to the hot spring villa to entertain Wang Ruo. As soon as he reached the door, Tang Chen saw Wang Ruo holding something and discussing with Hua Wuxin: "What are you looking at? You look so interested."
As soon as the little kid saw Hua Wuxin, his two little hands happily went to him. Tang Chen couldn't hold him anymore, so he simply handed the child to Hua Wuxin: "This kid is happier to see you than to see his father, really."
Although Wang Ruo had always been indifferent to her own affairs, no matter how Hua Wuxin pretended to be relieved, there was still a knot in his heart. The arrival of Xiao Douding made him feel a little relieved: "Children naturally like bright and beautiful things."
Tang Chen said with a smile: "Hey, what you said makes a lot of sense. I'm speechless."
