After that, Qinghe also said to Lianxin: "Lianxin, go back and take care of Lin Zhenzhen first. If you need anything, don't be shy, just tell Wang Qin directly. We will treat Qingliang Valley as our home from now on, so please don't be polite."
Lin Zhenzhen had already arrived safely at the palace and was settled in, so nothing would happen. Lian Xin was still worried about them. Princess Fenglai wasn't a pushover either. If they couldn't agree on a few words and started fighting, the Qilin Guards wouldn't necessarily dare intervene. "I heard Princess Fenglai had previously dared to fight the Second Madam. I'd better go with you. If anything happens, I'm a woman, so it'll be easier for me to fight."
"Okay, let's do it together."
...Princess Fenglai arrived at the courtyard in a rage. If Wang Qin had not had someone stop her and notified the secret guards in the mansion, she might have rushed down the mountain by now.
The Qilin Guards didn't dare to take action, so they could only persuade her with their mouths: "Princess, I beg you, please go back first. We will tell the prince about this immediately, and we will definitely let you go when he gives the order."
Feng Lai sneered and posed a difficult question: "So what about Wang Yanzhou? Your Liang prince has no control over my Shu princess. I've already handed him the divorce agreement. He has no objections, and he's unlikely to have any. Are you blocking my way on purpose?"
Most of the time, the Qilin Guard's missions are done in secret. There is no place like today where they have to deal with women and persuade people. If Wang Nianqing came, it would be fine. They really have no way out.
Xixin, who was standing aside holding a bundle, was silent for a moment, then walked from behind Princess Fenglai to her front and said, "Princess, go back. There's really no rush to leave now."
Seeing Xixin come out to help, everyone present didn't wait for them to continue their efforts. Yingchun, who had previously refused to support their departure, suddenly became furious at Xixin: "Xixin, what's wrong with you? Aren't you usually the best at giving advice? Now that the princess is unhappy in Qingliang Palace and wants to return to Shu, it's only natural. Why should they stop her? You too, could it be that you have some hidden secret that's why you don't want to leave?"
After hearing what Yingchun said, Princess Fenglai actually put her plans to leave aside for a moment. Frowning, she asked, "...Xixin, is what she said true? I heard that you were locked up in the woodshed because of a man?"
Xixin hadn't had time to tell Fenglai that the person she was meeting was an envoy from Shu. Not many people knew about this, and Wang Yanzhou had issued a death order not to mention it to anyone unrelated. Besides the Qilin Guard, there were also many maids and guards present. Xixin could only brush it off for now: "Princess, this isn't something we can discuss here. I'll explain it to you later. It's a mess outside right now. I'm afraid assassins will follow us before we even leave Qingliang County."
Feng Lai is a princess of a country, a daughter of a rich family. Naturally, she wouldn't worry about anyone daring to provoke her without considering the consequences. "Humph, I'm really not afraid of any assassins."
Xixin reminded her, "Princess, the soldiers we brought with us for the wedding will not return with us."
Feng Lai seemed to have known this would be the outcome, but he was still confident that he could return to Liang safely through his own efforts: "Without those people following me, I'm not afraid."
Xixin then reminded him, "Xixin knows that the princess is a skilled martial artist and won't worry about those underworld thugs. But if they use some despicable means to capture you and use it to threaten the king, wouldn't we become criminals of Shu?"
Speaking of this, Feng Lai hesitated for a moment. However, after hesitating for a while, looking at the group of people who had nothing better to do than to block the road, she thought of a solution: "This matter is not easy to solve. At worst, we can find some people to escort us back."
Just as he finished speaking, Princess Qinghe arrived and said loudly, "Princess, you must be joking. Qingliang Valley really can't spare the manpower to escort you back to Shu Kingdom right now. The Qilin Guards think they don't have enough manpower and are treating one person like ten."
Feng Lai heard that Qing He had guests to entertain today, and thought that her affairs would not alarm her: "Your Highness, Princess, why are you here?"
This sudden softening of attitude, the lowering of some of his arrogance, was Fenglai's respect for a fellow princess and elder. Furthermore, even if Qinghe wasn't a princess, she still deserved such courtesy.
Qinghe didn't say that he was here to persuade her, but just smiled and said, "I heard that you were leaving, so I thought I'd come and see you off and talk to you."
Feng Lai heard this and immediately smiled and said, "I said that the eldest princess is different from these people and will definitely understand me. It turns out to be true."
Qinghe went up and gently held Fenglai's hand, saying, "Of course, outsiders wouldn't dare to kill a princess of Shu, but it seems these two beautiful ladies beside you won't be so lucky. Of course, they're just two maids, so I don't think the princess would mind."
"Princess, what you said..." The sudden and blunt words caught Feng Lai off guard, forcing her to look back at the two young women behind her who were practically ready to risk their lives on her. Indeed, she had only just been thinking about arguing with the taciturn Qilin Guard, but hadn't considered this.
Qinghe wouldn't give her a chance to speak any more, and continued, "However, since the princess is leaving, Qinghe has to remind her that there is a Zhiyou Forest in Qingliang Valley. Have you heard of it?"
Feng Lai didn't know why Qing He suddenly mentioned Zhi You Lin, so he could only answer cautiously: "...I heard my father mention it when I came here."
Qinghe nodded slightly. Since she had heard of Zhi Youlin's name before, she probably wouldn't waste too much time talking about him next.
"Princess, you know that Zhiyou Forest is a wonderful place. Hundreds of poisonous creatures breathe and grow there, and even the air is filled with toxins. Princess, you treated me like a confidant and told me a lot about your past experiences. To be frank, a country as big as Liang could be deceived to this point by one person's lies. You are just a princess of Shu. No matter how powerful you are, you will be deceived sometimes. If you accidentally enter that forest, I dare not say what the consequences will be."
