Tang Chen said, "Yingchun, your reaction is a bit strange. How could you not recognize this person? I remember when Feng Lai entered the mansion, he was also in the wedding procession."
"This, I..." At that time, all she was thinking about was whether she would have the opportunity to serve Wang Yanzhou in the future, so she didn't pay attention to these insignificant little characters.
Tang Chen waved his hand, signaling Wang Qin to untie the two girls, and then said, "Alright, you two were also locked up all night yesterday. Let's put this matter to rest. Go back and serve the princess. If you have any questions, please come back and ask me after I have talked to this gentleman."
Xixin lowered her head and said politely, "Yes, thank you, Madam."
Yingchun took a moment to react before blushing and saying, "Thank you, Madam."
After the two girls left, Tang Chen asked, "Why did you and Xixin meet in the palace garden in the middle of the night? If you wanted to look for Xixin or Fenglai, you could have entered through the main gate during the day. Your actions, sir, seem a bit inappropriate."
This person also replied with a helpless look on his face: "I just arrived at Qingliang Valley last night. Seeing that the mansion was very quiet, I had no choice but to go find Xixin first."
Wang Qin said that this person refused to reveal his identity last night no matter how much he was asked. He thought he had something important to discuss with Wang Yanzhou, and even if he asked, he might not tell him. So, it would be better not to waste his breath. "The prince has gone to the military camp now. If you have anything to discuss, I can arrange for you to go there."
"Then it's up to Mrs. Lao."
Tang Chen personally escorted him to the back door, and after instructing Wang Qin to bring guards to escort him to the military camp, he slowly returned to the flower hall. When she arrived, Qinghe had also arrived, and was currently playing with Shuang'er in the hall.
Seeing Tang Chen coming, Qinghe reluctantly handed Shuang'er to the wet nurse and motioned for them to go back first. Then he said, "I heard that the King of Shu's men sneaked in last night?"
Tang Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I had someone send him to the military camp. He's been detained all night, so I guess there must be a reason. I won't make a fuss about it. By the way, where's Lian Xin? Has he left yet?"
Qinghe Zhan Yan said, "We set out before daybreak. We've prepared everything we need for her. It all depends on whether she can handle it. It can be considered a training experience."
The Zhiyou Forest that trapped Lin Zhenzhen is also the burial place of tens of thousands of Qingliang Valley soldiers. Wang Yanzhou and his men had to go through great pains to escape from it. "Speaking of Zhiyou Forest, when Yanzhou and his men went in, they narrowly escaped death. If it weren't for Wang Ruo, the grass on the graves would have been two feet high."
Although Tang Chen said this now as if it was a joke, she still remembered clearly the look on Wang Yanzhou's face when he came out of Zhiyoulin: "It was Mo Yu who saved Yanzhou and the others. Lin Zhenzhen wasn't so lucky. How is such a good girl supposed to live the rest of her life? When Shi Zairong is free, send her back to Nanyue. With her family taking care of her, she'll probably recover faster."
Upon hearing this, Qinghe looked at Tang Chen helplessly, like an elder looking at a younger person who never seems to grow up, and said with pity: "...Why are you still so stupid?"
Tang Chen was stunned, and quickly recalled what he had just said. It seemed that there was nothing wrong: "Hey, did I say something wrong?"
Qinghe pointed out, "Now you understand how Lin Feng became Lin Feng. Liang State is in chaos right now, and the Lin family eagerly sent Lin Zhenzhen from the relatively stable South Vietnam. If they really cared about her, how could they let a little girl take such risks alone?"
"You mean, if she goes back..." If Lin Zhenzhen returned to South Vietnam, a woman who had essentially lost her usefulness and even become a burden to her family, how miserable would her life be? The miasma in Zhiyou Forest would affect one's consciousness, in other words, drive one either crazy or stupid. Other things would be fine, but I was afraid that by then, no one would even know how she died.
Seeing that Tang Chen finally understood, Qinghe couldn't help but say one more thing: "The Lin family still has many children. Maybe after returning home, she can just find someone to marry and get rid of this burden."
"how so……"
Qinghe smiled and continued, "So when I learned everything about Lin Feng, I still admired him very much. At the very least, he truly deserves the title of a gentleman. Just look at Xiahou Qing's crazy actions now and you'll know. In order to obtain the land of Liang, Nanyue has truly demonstrated its ruthlessness to the extreme. If these people succeed, they will naturally be happy, but after that, the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked; if they fail, they can just turn their backs on us without a second thought."
Although Nanyue's approach was ruthless, the current situation in Liang State alone showed how effective it would be if it succeeded. "Although it's somewhat inhumane, it's proven to be very effective. While it may take a while to get going, once it's underway, we can defeat Liang State from within."
Qinghe smiled helplessly and said, "Yes, if Xiahou Qing hadn't suddenly become uncontrollable, Daliang would have changed dynasties long ago."
After hearing this, Tang Chen couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: "Do you think he is so crazy now because he has experienced too much?"
Qinghe said: "Maybe, but I heard that Queen Wang Zhen, your mother-in-law, seems to be the driving force behind the current situation."
Tang Chen was stunned. As the saying goes, "Three people make a tiger, and rumors can harm people." She didn't believe that Wang Zhen, who was from the same era as her, would want to see the chaos in the world today. "Heard? Who told you that?"
Qinghe shook his head and said, "That's not important. Let's talk about Lianxin. I thought she was going over there, so I asked her to help keep an eye on Huangfu Xiong's situation. Except for yesterday, it seems that Hongyu hasn't appeared in front of you much since I came here, right?"
"At first, she was just trying to protect me. Now that someone as reliable as Qinghe has arrived, she's naturally been borrowed by those men to help out again." Hong Yu didn't need to wade into this mess. Was it all just for a promise to Mo Yu? Tang Chen was actually a little confused now. Hong Yu said she had no romantic feelings for Mo Yu, but would anyone go to such lengths for the promise of a dead person? Or was she just too narrow-minded?
...The Shu Kingdom's envoy, carrying a secret, arrived at Qingliang Valley the very night Feng Lai decided to abandon the ridiculous dreams he had once pursued and leave Liang for Shu. Meanwhile, in Qinghe County, not far away, the cold moon was gradually obscured by dark clouds, and a bloody storm was inevitable.
