For Lin Feng now, returning to the Lin family was impossible; even if he wanted to return to Qinghe County, he would have to wait until Tianshu Tower lost control of it. So, if you think carefully, there are only a few friends in this world that he still cares about.
Tang Chen knew that after Lin Zhenzhen's matter was resolved, Lin Feng would not stay in Qingliang Valley for too long, so he said, "If you want to leave later, please let me know."
Lin Feng nodded and agreed: "Yes, I won't leave quietly."
Although he felt a little sorry, Wang Yanzhou said that he was going to break the harmonious atmosphere between the two of them. He swore that appearing here to disturb them today was really an accident, not because he was jealous, nor did he come here to prevent Lin Feng and Tang Chen from having a chance to be alone.
"Ahem, Lord Lin, the carriage is ready. If Lord Lin wants to leave, he can set off at any time."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Since the prince has ordered us to leave, if I still stay here, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"
Hong Yu and Lian Xin said that they seemed to smell a hint of gunpowder. Should they take a few steps back and keep a distance from the three of them to be safer?
Seeing Wang Yanzhou suddenly appear behind him, Tang Chen was startled at first, and then, the dissatisfaction in his heart was written on his face: "...Where did you come from? I didn't even see you just now. You suddenly spoke and scared me to death, you know!"
Before Tang Chen could explode in anger, Wang Yanzhou quickly explained, "It's my fault. I wasn't thoughtful enough and scared you. But I swear, I just arrived, too. Seriously, when I got here, I only heard Lin Feng say he was leaving."
"......" Lin Feng, Hong Yu and Lian Xin couldn't help but complain in their hearts after hearing this. It seemed that Lin Feng had never mentioned when he would leave. Wang Yanzhou was a little too impatient. His purpose was too obvious.
Tang Chen also understood what Wang Yanzhou meant and said with his arms folded, "I don't want him to leave yet. It's okay for him to stay for a few more days."
Wang Yanzhou pulled Tang Chen aside, as if afraid that others would hear what he said, and whispered, "He may not be willing to stay. Besides, Shi Zairong still needs his help. The overall situation is more important!"
Tang Chen said that it was just a conversation and there was no need to hide it. "For your sake... today is a serious day, I won't swear. You should be working in the barracks at this time, what are you doing here? Don't talk nonsense to me, I know you definitely didn't come here just for me. Although you are jealous, you are not petty. I think you are here to see Hong Yu."
Hong Yu pondered for a moment and took two steps forward. However, Wang Yanzhou smiled at her and then retracted his gaze, saying, "Unfortunately, Madam, you guessed wrong this time. I really did come to see you, Madam."
Tang Chen took a small step back with his hands folded, and said, "Forget it. How can I help you now? I just need to not cause you any trouble."
Having said that, Tang Chen's momentum disappeared in an instant, and he looked at Lian Xin nervously, "Think about it carefully, I shouldn't have done anything bad recently, right?"
Lian Xin nodded slightly and said with certainty, "No, Madam, don't worry."
"Well, Lian Xin, Hong Yu, you two chat with Lin Feng for a while." Since Wang Yanzhou came to see him today specifically, he must have come for some serious matter. So, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it aside."
As soon as Tang Chen finished speaking, Wang Yanzhou picked up Tang Chen by the waist and carried him horizontally. With a light tap of his feet, he went to the roof of the highest attic on the north side of Qingliang Palace.
After landing on the roof, Wang Yanzhou said, "Wait a moment, I have to show you something first."
As he spoke, Wang Yanzhou was searching for something in his sleeve while carefully observing Tang Chen, fearing that a sudden gust of evil wind from the roof would blow her down.
Tang Chen took the fragrant peach blossom branch, and the image of a deceased person emerged in his mind: "... You can't find peach blossom branches in this season. This should be a silk flower, right?"
Wang Yanzhou said somewhat helplessly: "I don't quite understand these things, but judging from the material of the petals, it should be."
Tang Chen brought the peach blossom branch close to his nose. The faint orchid fragrance on it was exactly the same as the smell that Xihe liked in his memory: "The smell on it is very familiar, a feeling of déjà vu."
Seeing the smile that inadvertently rose on Tang Chen's lips, Wang Yanzhou also smiled unconsciously: "This is the first thing, the second one is this."
This second treasure wasn't as confusing as the peach blossom branch. Tang Chen opened the small porcelain bottle Wang Yanzhou handed him, fanned it gently with his hand, and sniffed the scent, nearly vomiting from nausea.
This is the smell of sassafras. When I was little, I heard adults say it was also called fennel. Tang Chen couldn't stand the smell of this thing since she was little. Back when Xihe was still around, she'd given her a lot of strange medicinal powders; one of them smelled just like this. Even the nausea was exactly the same.
"...Isn't this itching powder? I know this. This bottle doesn't look like the one I used before. I hid the itching powder very well. Tell me, where did you find it?"
Wang Yanzhou said with a meaningful smile, "I didn't find it myself. This is a gift sent to you from thousands of miles away."
Tang Chen was slightly stunned. Looking at the two items in his hands, which were enough to prove the identity of the gift giver, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "...gift, is there anyone else in the world besides her who can make this thing, and also knows this fragrance?"
Wang Yanzhou nodded and said, "The person who delivered the message to her was from Liuxiang Tavern. To avoid being intercepted, he didn't leave any written message. When the messenger came, he was exhausted. After finishing his words, he fell asleep in front of me."
Tang Chen's body swayed slightly. If Wang Yanzhou hadn't caught her in time, she would have fallen down the stairs. "This is impossible. Hasn't Wang Ruo confirmed that she has..."
It's hard to explain this in a few words. Not to mention her, even Wang Yanzhou is still a little confused. However, the person who came from Jingji was indeed from Liuxiang Tavern, sent by Shen Xin: "But she is now with Shen Xin."
Tang Chen held his forehead and said, "She is with Shen Xin. Oh my God, is this really true? Am I dreaming? Will it be said in the next second that Xin Zhai and Mo Yu are alive and about to appear in front of me?"
