Fenglai finally understood what was said. It turned out that Qinghe was trying to persuade her not to leave, but her method was a bit strange. She wanted to scare her so that she wouldn't dare leave the Qingliang Palace. "So, the princess is trying to scare Fenglai?"
Qinghe smiled and said, "Is it not up to me to scare you? A woman just entered the mansion. I think someone in the mansion should have informed the princess."
Although Feng Lai was only the princess in name, the people in the palace respected her. Usually, whenever there was a new person in the palace or something happened that she should know about, someone would tell her at the first time, saving her a lot of time and energy from wild guesses. However, "that woman is not from Shu, what does she have to do with me?"
Qinghe continued to explain, "That woman was once good friends with Lianxin. She was so clever, yet she was tricked into entering Zhiyou Forest with just a few words from Tianshu Tower. If you think I'm trying to scare you, Princess, you can go to her room right now. We just brought her here, and the princess suddenly declared she wanted to return to Shu. We couldn't possibly have prepared such a pitiful person to deceive you."
"...", Qinghe saw Fenglai was silent, which was considered as tacit agreement, so he took her hand and went to the backyard: "Then, Princess, please follow me."
The legitimate mistress of the Qingliang Palace, who had been standing by and observing silently, saw that Qinghe was preparing to move his position. She ordered Yingchun and Xixin, saying, "You two, take the princess's luggage and go back to the courtyard to wait."
Xixin and Yingchun answered in unison, "Yes, ma'am."
After thinking for a moment, Tang Chen added a sentence and called out to Lian Xin, who was following Qing He from a distance: "Lian Xin, you don't have to go with them. They have a lot of stuff. Find someone to help you send it back first."
"yes."
When Feng Lai saw the person in the guest room sitting upright on the bed with a dull look in her eyes, she thought Qing He was joking with her and was planning to lock her up in this room and let this seemingly dull girl guard her. However, just as she turned around to tell Qing He not to treat her like a child who knew nothing, her sleeve accidentally flew past the girl as she turned around.
Feng Lai felt as if he had knocked something off. Just as he was about to apologize, the middle finger of his right hand, which had just been resting on his knee, fell to the ground with his hollow eyes, dripping with blood.
"……ah!"
Fenglai was so frightened that she fell to the ground. Qinghe was startled by her and then saw this horrifying scene: "Quick, call a doctor!"
Qinghe only heard Lian Xin say that Lin Zhenzhen's condition was not very good, but he did not expect it to be so serious. Like a porcelain doll, if he was not careful, Lin Zhenzhen would fall to pieces. "Oh my God, I didn't expect it to be that serious!"
Lian Xin brought a doctor back with her before she went to see Qinghe. After hearing someone calling her, the doctor rushed over with tools in a very timely manner.
While he was carefully bandaging Lin Zhenzhen, Qinghe helped Fenglai up and went to the next room. Fenglai covered his pounding chest, still in shock and unable to react: "How, how could she be like this?"
Qinghe also tried to calm herself down, at least to make her voice sound less trembling as she said, "The princess has seen it too. Just because you have a good relationship with my family's Lianxin, you have become a thorn in the side of Tianshu Tower. You are now the Princess Qingliang. Even if you make the divorce agreement public, Tianshu Tower might think that Yanzhou is deliberately protecting you, and their attention to you will only increase."
Princess Fenglai always kept her identity in mind. Even now, she still harbored doubts that Tianshu Tower would dare to attack her. Although she was not a legitimate princess, she was the favorite daughter of the King of Shu. If they touched her, with the power of Shu, they would be in for a real disaster. "I, I am a princess of Shu, how dare they!"
Qing He snorted coldly and said, "Oh, what are you saying? They even dared to kill the king of a country, so how could they be afraid of a little princess like you?"
Speaking of the murdered ruler of a country, who else could it be but Emperor Gan Zhao of Liang? But what Qinghe said seemed different from what she heard: "Wasn't Emperor Gan Zhao killed by his daughter, Princess Shuyang?"
"I'm afraid only innocent and kind people like the princess would believe this kind of nonsense now."
Qinghe's implication is very easy to understand. If the death of Emperor Gan Zhao was really caused by Tianshu Tower, once they took action against him, they would definitely find a scapegoat to wash their hands clean, at least not let the King of Shu catch them openly.
Thinking of this, Feng Lai realized for the first time what kind of existence Tianshu Tower was that could single-handedly make Qingliang Valley so on high alert: "Oh my God, is this Tianshu Tower really going to rebel?"
Qing He asked, "It's not that you're going to rebel, it's that you've already rebelled. Do you know why the King of Shu offered you a helping hand? Even if you were to divorce, he wouldn't withdraw the supplies and troops he provided?"
Feng Lai wasn't the kind of person who was so innocent as to be foolish. She was just a little slow to react sometimes. Now that she had understood, she couldn't just sit there and act like a fool. "...If Tianshu Tower really did steal the country in the end, then the next one would be Shu, which has a close relationship with Liang."
Qinghe heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, "Princess, you're a wise person too. The King of Shu and the Duke of Liang's Mansion are related. You should have heard a lot about this before, right?"
According to Qinghe, it was the most obvious decision for Fenglai to stay in Qingliang Valley. However, she really didn't know what she could do here. She no longer needed to pursue her dreams. Was she going to stay here and become a joke? "But, but if I stay here, what else can I do besides being laughed at?"
Qinghe gently stroked Fenglai's forehead and said with a smile, "You are a princess of a country. Who dares to criticize you to your face? Being stabbed in the back and scolded is something that no one in the royal family has not experienced. The environment in the Shu Kingdom's harem is much more complicated than that in the Liang Kingdom. Princess, have you never thought of a way to deal with it?"
"I……"
Seeing that Princess Fenglai had calmed down from her impulsiveness, Qinghe spoke to her in a gentler tone, "I know you want to leave, but it's because Qiuliang is blind and can't see the good in you. He's no match for you. A person as outstanding as you can find any man you want. Now is the time when Qingliang Valley needs to gather its forces to deal with Tianshu Tower. Princess, please put the overall situation first."
