I have to say, according to Xie Zhuangshui's observation, this young woman has good kung fu skills; she also looks very smart and clever, and her appearance is impeccable, first-class.
Thinking about it this way, isn't Miss Huijue of the Huangfu family, who has basically never appeared in front of outsiders and is only known by rumors, a bit dangerous? Should he pressure Shi Zairong to remind him that he still has a fiancée?
However, Shi Zairong didn't let his subordinates worry for too long. As Xie Zhuangshui was wandering around the town, feeling entangled, he happened to see Shi Zairong sneaking with Hong Yu to the unguarded granary.
Thinking they were up to something bad, Xie Zhuangshui couldn't contain his excitement and followed them. Although the atmosphere between them was indeed somewhat ambiguous, it wasn't as passionate as he had imagined.
Shi Zairong just gave Hong Yu a long and lasting hug, then watched Hong Yu jump onto the roof of the granary and leave the town.
Hong Yu left town unharmed, but Tang Chen, upon hearing the news of her arrest, was now completely overwhelmed. After Wang Nianqing informed her of the news from the Qilin Guards, Tang Chen slapped his thigh, not knowing what else to do. "What's going on? Didn't Hong Yu say she was on a personal matter? How did Shi Zairong arrest her? Is the information accurate? Perhaps they're spreading it to confuse the public?"
Wang Nianqing shook her head slightly. The chances of the information being wrong were almost zero. "The Qilin Guards saw her being taken in by Shi Zairong with their own eyes. However, they said that Hong Yu didn't put up much resistance."
Tang Chen said, "Why are we still resisting? We've already started a fight with them. No, the Red Edict must not fall into their hands. Nianqing, can you spare some manpower to help?"
Wang Nianqing counted the hundred or so men under his command and said, "We can certainly send a few more, but we should wait and see the situation before making any plans. Miss Hong Yu is, after all, a South Vietnamese, so I don't think Shi Zairong will make things too difficult for her."
Tang Chen disagreed. The Huangfu family was powerful, and Shi Zairong was engaged to them, so naturally, they wouldn't make it too difficult. She was worried that Shi Zairong would claim that Hong Yu was theirs and insist on staying and not letting her return. "Whether he makes things difficult for her is one thing, but whether we can save her is another. You should allocate the people first, and I'll go find Boss Hua."
Although the Qilin Guard was under the command of Wang Nianqing, the master behind the scenes was still Wang Yanzhou. Right now, they were in a critical situation, and if they made their own decisions without saying anything, it might be inappropriate. "Should we inform the prince first?"
Tang Chen said, "Of course I have to tell you. This is a big deal. Everything else is fine, but you know better than me how long Hong Yu has been in Qingliang Valley and how many things she's been involved in. If she makes any mistakes, the consequences could be serious or minor."
"clear."
After Tang Chen handed the two little brats in his hands to the nurse, he hurried to the backyard to get a fast horse and headed to the hot spring villa. However, as soon as he arrived at the villa gate, the courtyard, which was usually very quiet, suddenly seemed to be crowded with people for some reason. It was as if all the servants who were scattered around the villa had gathered here today.
Tang Chen thought to herself that something was wrong and hurried to Wang Ruo's room. What she had worried about had happened. Looking at the pale, motionless figure lying on the bed, Tang Chen couldn't help but lower her voice. "What happened? Wasn't he fine a few days ago?"
Hua Wuxin said dejectedly, "If I knew the reason, I wouldn't be so busy. These doctors are all useless and can't see anything."
Tang Chen also frowned and said: "Chen Xin is not here now. Really, why do bad things happen one after another."
Hua Wuxin had given up hope on the doctors in Qingliang Valley. He had just been thinking of asking Tang Chen to come over and help take care of Wang Ruo for a few days. Now that she was here, it would save him an extra trip. The doctors in the valley weren't good enough, so there happened to be someone outside who could be hired: "It's just right that you're here. I know someone with decent medical skills who happens to be traveling nearby recently. I'm going to go find him now. Please help me keep an eye on Wang Ruo. I'll be back in three to five days at most."
After saying that, Hua Wuxin stood up and was about to leave. Tang Chen hurriedly chased after him and said, "I actually need your help with something!"
Hua Wuxin said "Hold it in" without even turning around, and then disappeared from Tang Chen's sight like a gust of wind. Tang Chen scratched his head in frustration and sighed: "...Alas, I feel wronged."
...After Tang Chen stayed with Wang Ruo all night, the next morning, Wang Ruo's condition had stabilized slightly. The cold sweats had stopped, and her body wasn't as icy as before; however, she was still unconscious. While Tang Chen cared for her, he kept muttering to himself, trying to clear his mind.
However, talking to herself didn't seem to help Tang Chen's brainstorming at all. Instead, it made her look a little mentally retarded. The servants in the villa looked at her with a strange look.
Seeing that Wang Ruo was sleeping soundly, Tang Chen tiptoed away. Crouching beside the hot spring, he covered his head, closed his eyes, and yelled, "Ahhh, I can't figure it out. Is it true that pregnancy makes women stupid for three years, or am I just not sure about my own IQ?"
After venting for a while, Tang Chen felt as if a certain circuit in his brain was suddenly connected: "Wait, come to think of it, Shi Zairong and I are at least acquaintances, half friends, right? If you round it up, that's a life-or-death friendship. If I write a letter asking him to release the person on his own initiative, wouldn't that be more reliable?"
Before she could sigh at her own amazing brain circuits and the operation that no one could have guessed, Qiu Liang came to her with small steps and joyfully said, "Madam, you're back!"
After tidying up his appearance, Tang Chen asked calmly, "Who's back? Why are you so happy?"
Qiu Liang replied, "Miss Hong Yu!"
Tang Chen rushed forward in three steps, grabbed Qiu Liang by the collar and said, "Don't be mistaken, wasn't she just captured by Shi Zairong?"
Qiu Liang explained: "I was wondering about that too, but he did come back."
After hearing this, Tang Chen threw Qiu Liang aside and stretched his neck to look behind him: "Where is she? Why didn't I see her? Didn't she come with you?"
Qiu Liang added, "Miss Hong Yu has just entered the valley and will arrive at the palace later."
Although Tang Chen really wanted to see Hong Yu right now, he had to give up when he thought of Wang Ruo who was still lying unconscious on the bed.
