Many guests arrived from Nanyue, and the town became bustling with activity. However, Tanhua, who had regained his composure, became a little anxious after seeing that Prajna had been staying at the granary and hadn't gone anywhere else. "Brother, why haven't I seen you go out to look for Ling'er these days? Is he afraid that I'll look for him, so he changed his location?"
Prajna smiled helplessly and explained, "Don't worry, he has sent your daughter-in-law's ashes back to Bugui Peak and will be back soon. After all, that place is good for his health. Even if it's not for himself, he has to do it for Tang Chen."
Tan Hua was slightly stunned. Wasn't Wang Ruo the only person Jiang Ling liked? How could she be related to that little girl Tang Chen? Aren't they just ordinary friends? Her mind was a little confused: "Tang Chen? Isn't that little girl the princess of Qingliang Valley? How could she be related to Ling'er?"
Prajna said, "This matter would be a long story if I were to tell it in detail. To put it simply, your son's life and that little girl's life are now one. Do you understand what I mean?"
After pondering for a moment, Tanhua said sincerely, "...I can't."
Prajna was stunned for a moment, then held his forehead with a headache. Did he have to explain everything again? He was even a little annoyed by all this talk. "You must have heard of Life and Death Gu, right?"
How could Tan Hua not know about a treasure like the Life and Death Gu? The Life and Death Gu was hidden in the Ouyang family's black pearl. Everyone said the pearl was precious, but few knew its true value. Without the Life and Death Gu, the black pearl was nothing more than an ordinary object. "Are you talking about the Ouyang family's heirloom? Didn't it disappear after the Huayue Tower collapsed and the last patriarch of the Ouyang family passed away?"
Prajna continued to explain, "This treasure is now in your son's possession, helping him prolong his life. If it weren't for Tang Chen, he wouldn't have obtained the Life and Death Gu. The relationship between these two people can now be explained by more than just Wang Ruo."
Tan Hua suddenly realized something and said, "So, by helping that little girl, I'm indirectly helping Ling'er, right?"
"You can say that," before Prajna could finish her words, Tanhua suddenly became excited and turned around and ran away. Prajna saw this, fearing that she would lose control and say something nonsense in front of others, so she quickly chased after her and blocked her way: "I haven't even finished my words yet, where are you going?"
Tan Hua replied, "Go find that person in the Northwest Courtyard and urge him to make the antidote."
Prajna smiled helplessly and said, "My aunt, you are already so old, don't be impulsive, okay?"
Tanhua's expression changed slightly. She just wanted to do something for her child. Prajna was trying to stop her. Wasn't she being too nosy? "...So what do you think I should do? Should I just sit there and do nothing? I should do something for Ling'er, right? Otherwise, how can I feel at ease with you?"
Prajna soothed him, "That being said, there's no need to rush. If you rush over now without any explanation, people who don't know you might think you have evil intentions. And if you implicate Ou Yezi in the process, wouldn't that be a loss of both the wife and the army?"
After being persuaded by Prajna, Tanhua no longer thought about looking for Huangfu Xiong, but instead focused most of his attention on Tang Chen.
When Qiu Liang, the masked man, arrived at the military camp, his ability to attract attention was even greater than Tang Chen's, and even Hong Yu's, the walking fairy in the painting. When Tang Chen began to have deep doubts about her gender and charm, she found her allies and prepared to discuss this serious issue together.
After Shi Zairong discovered Qiu Liang's inexplicable charm that could attract people's attention, he suddenly remembered a line from some version of Snow White. He couldn't remember exactly what the line said, but the general meaning was: Even if she was wearing tattered clothes, it couldn't cover up the radiance that emanated from her.
Considering that Hong Yu now spends most of his time in Qingliang Valley, by Tang Chen's side, Qiu Liang is Tang Chen's personal bodyguard, rounding it off, wouldn't the two of them be together day and night? If there were any more scenes of sharing joys and sorrows between them, wouldn't he, the legitimate fiancé, have to move to Qingqing Grassland?
Tang Chen and Shi Zairong saw that Huangfu Xiong and his son had taken some time to rest that day, and Su Zhirou was in very stable condition. Furthermore, there weren't many urgent matters to deal with in the army right now, so it was a perfect time, a perfect place, and a perfect people. At a time like this, it would be wonderful to get two or three people together to eat some sunflower seeds, chat about gossip, and bask in the sun and moonlight.
After Tang Chen, Hong Yu, Shi Zairong, and Qiu Liang sat down in the guest room, Tang Chen gave Shi Zairong a look and he immediately launched his first round of attacks: "A Chen, why does your friend always cover his face? Does he do this even when he eats? Look at Qiu Liang's whole body temperament, he looks like a gentleman, why is he so shy and unwilling to take off this thing on his face that is in the way?"
Qiu Liang was about to say something to explain when Tang Chen interrupted him maliciously: "To be honest, I've known him for so long and I've never seen him eat. I even thought for a while that this person might be cultivating immortality. What do you think?"
Shi Zairong rested his chin on his hand and thought, "Hmm, quite interesting."
Tang Chen continued, "I think the face beneath his mask is either stunning and a disaster for the nation or utterly hideous. Of course, judging whether a person is good-looking isn't just about appearance; inner qualities are also important. Our Qiu Liang is, of course, someone who cultivates both inner and outer qualities. Grand Master, do you think what I said makes sense?"
The two of them sang in unison, and Hong Yu and Qiu Liang, who were sitting at the same table, had no chance to interrupt, so they just sat aside and listened to what their purpose was in singing in unison.
"Of course what you said makes sense, but I am also a person who has never seen the world and I believe in appearance, so you know what I mean." As he spoke, Shi Zairong's eyes naturally drifted towards Qiu Liang.
Qiu Liang, who was drinking tea, felt his hand tremble slightly while holding the cup. He gently put the cup back, which was already close to his mouth, without saying a word: "..."
Qiu Liang said, "I don't understand what you mean. I just want to say that these two people are a bit too unscrupulous. How can they be so blatant as to discuss other people's looks in front of others? If they are good-looking, it's fine. But if they are not good-looking and have ordinary looks, isn't it very hurtful?"
