Tang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess."
After Princess Fenglai fled in panic, Liang Shuyi asked with great interest, "What did you ask Qiuliang to say to her earlier?"
Tang Chen explained, "She has a crush on Qiu Liang, isn't she? Although I feel a little embarrassed, for the sake of the overall situation, I don't think Nian Qing would mind me acting as a matchmaker for his subordinates."
Liang Shuyi didn't have much of an objection to her approach, but if they were just friends and confidants with no real intentions, she should be careful not to force a match between them, as it might backfire. "Mutual affection between a man and a woman isn't necessarily about love. Don't overdo it."
Tang Chen said confidently: "Don't worry, I'm a professional."
"Professional, what?"
Tang Chen's eyes widened for a moment, then he quickly turned around to look at Wang Yanzhou and explained, "...Well, a professional crosstalk actor. Oh, and you know how to calculate the time. You come back as soon as everyone leaves."
Wang Yanzhou looked around the palace and confirmed that there were no suspicious people around before saying, "I just received news that you were in danger, so I hurried back."
This gate is not a place to talk. Besides, Tang Chen is not suitable to appear in public right now. If he is seen, he will block the door again. Therefore, Liang Shuyi urged: "Then let's not stand at the gate. Let's talk about it when we get back."
The story of Shu Yang spread like wildfire in Qingliang Valley. Most people expressed their belief that King Qingliang would never take in a traitor who killed his father and the king, but there were also quite a few people who expressed doubts about Wang Yanzhou's loyalty.
In short, because of Shu Yang, some unwanted voices were heard in Qingliang Valley. Tang Chen could only move around in the palace all day long. When she went out with Liang Shuyi, she pretended to be her maid and didn't dare bring anyone with her. Thinking carefully, she hadn't seen Shu Yang in this period of time, and she hadn't heard Qiu Liang mention her in front of her. "How is Shu Yang? Is she still at Uncle Lin's thatched cottage and nothing happened?"
Liang Shuyi smiled helplessly and said, "She's fine, but we may have run into some trouble."
Wang Yanzhou added, "Someone is spreading rumors throughout Liang State, saying Shu Yang is in the Qingliang Palace, and they're telling the truth. Now the people of Liang State are talking about it, and some are saying that our palace is actually allying with Nanyue and using Wei State as a barrier to commit treason."
Liang Shuyi also said, "Someone has spread similar rumors before, but it was just a small pebble hitting the water, causing a few ripples before disappearing. This time, the momentum is so huge, it seems the person behind this is not simple."
This sudden incident made Wang Yanzhou suspect Tang Chen's fellow villager. It was too coincidental that something like this happened just a few days after she sent him away. "This matter is most likely related to the person you brought back earlier."
Tang Chen asked with a guilty conscience: "How did you know I brought someone back?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled faintly and said, "Of course I knew you brought a man home with you in such a brazen manner. At the time, I thought he was your guest, so I didn't bother to find out his identity."
Liang Shuyi held his chin up and said, "I really can't say for sure, it could be him. That day I saw that man, all sweet talk, he looked like a gangster. Could it be because Qiu Liang had kidnapped him before, so he holds a grudge against him?"
Tang Chen said: "He may seem stingy, but he probably wouldn't spend so much time and effort planning something as trivial as this."
Liang Shuyi remained skeptical, retorting with his own personal experience: "Are you so sure? From what I've seen, your fellow townsmen are no ordinary people."
Tang Chen was asked this by Liang Shuyi, and it was hard to answer him right away. Although Wang Ruo was the only fellow townsman still with them, but with Wang Zhen and Li Xinzhai, these three were indeed heroes. It was no wonder she had such thoughts: "Well, let's not talk about him for now. Have you guys come up with a plan to deal with this matter? What are you going to do?"
Wang Yanzhou is not too worried about this matter now: "It's just a matter of public discussion now, and it's relatively easy to resolve. The key is that Shu Yang can't be discovered at this time. If he is seen by others, it will be difficult to explain. The public still doesn't know what happened at that time. We can't prove Shu Yang's innocence in a short time."
Since Lin Qinghui and the others left, Shu Yang had moved from the secret passage to their thatched cottage. It had been a safe place before, but now that rumors were spreading, the cottage, while quiet, wasn't completely isolated from the world. Tang Chen immediately suggested, "Why don't we move Shu Yang and Liu Ying to another place?"
Wang Yanzhou also had the same idea: "The safest place in the mansion right now should be the hot spring villa."
Liang Shuyi agreed. "I agree. With the black market and the secret guards stationed near the villa, it's impossible for outsiders to get in easily. Besides, many of the servants at the villa have been dismissed, so it's a really good choice. Plus, Boss Hua's martial arts are unfathomable, and because of Madam Wang Ruo, his vigilance is much higher than before. Asking him to help take care of things is indeed a good choice."
Wang Yanzhou added, "I've already asked Nianqing to go there herself. In the evening, when it's quiet, I'll have them all go to the villa."
"Well, I just hope nothing unexpected happens on the way." After saying that, Tang Chen saw that Wang Yanzhou and Liang Shuyi were looking at him with strange eyes, so he quickly added: "Don't look at me, I'm not the kind of person who would say bad things. I'm just saying it, that's all!"
Wang Yanzhou's eyebrows darkened slightly and he said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. It's better to send more people."
"I agree."
"......" Tang Chen said, what you said makes a lot of sense, I was speechless and even a little unhappy.
After Shi Zairong laid out his plans one by one, Lin Feng temporarily handed over the matters at hand to his subordinates and the people from Tianshu Tower to work together, and then quietly went to the small town stationed outside Zhiyoulin. He came this time, even he couldn't explain whether he was here to reminisce about the past or to receive instructions.
"Grand Master, Master Lin Feng is here."
"Finally you're here, please come in!"
As soon as Lin Feng entered the house, Shi Zairong withdrew everyone around him and asked the three siblings to guard the surroundings, as if to prevent thieves.
The two of them met, and it felt like they were in a different world. The two young men who had once learned swordsmanship and martial arts together were now completely different people. "Greetings, Grand Master."
