Li Yan smiled and said, "I'm just a father coming to pick up my daughter. It will take a long time to get back to Shu from here. I'm just passing through."
However, as a daughter, Feng Lai, though she often couldn't figure out what Li Yan, the King of Shu, was thinking, they had lived together since childhood. As he spoke, his smile widened even more than before. Feng Lai sensitively sensed something was amiss: "...By the way, it's such a long journey, how could you come pick me up so soon?"
Li Yan coughed awkwardly and said, "I was actually in Liang State not long ago. I had just left Liang State when I received the news from Prince Qingliang, so I rushed over immediately. Otherwise, how could I have made it in just a few days?"
"No wonder," Feng Lai said. So, he had secretly escaped with his men. She thought it was because of the previous siege of the capital by the living dead. Tang Chen had previously heard that someone had helped defend the Duke of Liang's mansion during the siege. Now, thinking about it, that mysterious figure must be her good father.
Having said that, Li Yan couldn't help but ask, "By the way, I heard that Duke Liang and his wife are in Qingliang Valley now. Are they okay?"
Feng Lai said, what do you mean by "heard"? It's obvious that he knew about this a long time ago, and he's still talking nonsense to her: "...I know that the emperor is not just doing this for me. Isn't father afraid that the three thousand beauties in the harem will be jealous because of this?"
Li Yan said, "You little girl, don't meddle in the adults' affairs. Besides, the people around me are all of the same mind and won't cause me any trouble. As long as you don't say anything about this, the three thousand beauties won't know either."
Feng Lai shook his head and smiled, saying, "They are very good. Tang Chen takes very good care of them, treating them as his own parents. As for the Duke's wife, I met her once before. She is indeed a very good woman."
Li Yan smiled. "Now that you've said that, I think you understand why I can't stop thinking about this person."
Feng Lai teased, "You already have three thousand beauties in your harem. Some people should just be kept in your heart and not talked about all the time, which will bother others."
"You've really grown a lot. It seems my original decision was correct." Someone next to Li Yan came forward and interrupted their conversation. After reminding them of the time, Li Yan continued, "It's getting late. Do you want to take another look?"
Feng Lai turned around with an open mind, looking in the direction of Shu Kingdom, and said, "No, I've already engraved everything in my mind. Qingliang Valley is a very good place. If there is another chance in the future, I will definitely come again."
