Yan Shaoqing was stunned. It was only then that he realized. The fire that had burned all night was actually seen by the monarch who had demanded his Yan family's loyalty. However, he did nothing, just quietly watching the fire burn the sky red, watching the innocent servants of his Yan family die one by one at the hands of others. "No, I have nothing to say."
Lin Feng sensed the anger in Yan Shaoqing's eyes, took a step back, and continued, "His Majesty has decreed that if you can reveal the woman's identity, your life will not be harmed, nor will you be implicated in Yan Chongmao's treason."
"I said, no comment."
Lin Feng saw that he seemed to have made up his mind and was unwilling to speak no matter what, so he could only summon the jailer and prepare to torture him: "Sorry, I am also following orders to torture him."
Before Wang Yanzhou returned to Qinghe County to find Tang Chen, he had actually visited other places first. Yue Sheng stated that she was running out of time, and that Yan Shaoqing's continued presence would be of no use. Furthermore, she had already avenged her great vengeance, and had originally thought that hatred had caused her to be entangled with Yan Shaoqing; now, this entanglement and bond should be severed.
But considering the current situation, if Yan Shaoqing leaves the protection of Huayue Tower, he will inevitably be captured by the imperial court. Rather than let him suffer the hardships of wandering, it would be better to send him directly back to Qinghe County. According to intelligence, a group of unidentified people have been tracking her identity. She could use Yan Shaoqing to test the true mastermind behind this group. And then there's Lin Feng in Qinghe County.
They all knew Lin Feng's style. He acted decisively, never showing favoritism or corruption, and never killing innocent people. Regardless of whether Yan Shaoqing would reveal her identity, at most she would suffer only some physical pain, at least she wouldn't die in vain. Once this matter was resolved, Wang Yanzhou would find an opportunity to rescue Yan Shaoqing and properly place her.
But the most important premise of all this was that Tang Chen couldn't know about this. But as long as she was in Qinghe, no matter how they tried to suppress the news, she would definitely know. If she got involved, then all this would be fraught with uncertainty and danger. Therefore, Wang Yanzhou appeared to be accommodating Tang Chen's wishes, but in reality, he had other intentions.
As Wang Yanzhou expected, Tang Chen was in a very good mood during the trip and didn't think much about Yan Shaoqing. In her opinion, Yan Shaoqing was very safe under Yue Sheng's command and there was no need to worry about him.
...The capital, the heart of the capital, lies beneath the feet of the emperor. The imposing townscape, the constant stream of merchants from all over the world, and the dazzling array of novelties dazzled the eyes. But Tang Chen kept in mind the goal of this trip: the simple and elegant jewelry of the legendary Yihuangfang! The large, golden sign of Yihuangfang seemed to come alive, beckoning her.
Tang Chen pulled Liang Shuyi along and stood in front of the door of Yihuangfang. For the first time, she felt such a strong desire to shop: "Oh my God, Shuyi, did you see that?"
Liang Shuyi also had quite a few pieces of jewelry from Yihuangfang, but most of them weren't bought by her brothers. They were either bought by the compradors and given to her, or given to her by others. This was her first time in this shop. "What's the big deal? They're really pretty!"
Looking at the men, women, and children selecting jewelry and jade in Yihuangfang, Tang Chen's purse said that he just wanted to lose weight now: "Then what are you still standing there for? Do you have enough money?"
"nature!"
So, the two bewitched women, hand in hand, happily dove into the jewelry pile. Shen Xin saw they were enjoying themselves and most likely ignored him, so since he was already there, he decided to just browse. Wang Yanzhou, on the other hand, had a purpose, fanning himself and slowly ascending to the second floor amid the women's whispers.
Black Crow had originally wanted to join in the fun, but once Tang Chen and the others entered, he noticed a number of other people following him. He had wanted to deal with them directly, but then he changed his mind and thought about worrying them, so he went in first to say hello before leaving.
When attracting the little tails to leave the downtown area, Black Crow discovered that the number of people following him this time was obviously more than double, and their martial arts were much better than the previous batch. According to his speculation, if his guess was correct, he would be able to meet the real masters of these tails in a short while.
Deep alleys are always the place where accidents happen. Black Crow looked at Shu Yang, who was surrounded by his "thugs", and said coldly: "I told you not to bother me again."
Seeing his attitude, Shu Yang wanted to bite his silver teeth into pieces: "Is it because of that guy named Tang Chen?"
Black Crow explained again impatiently: "I've already said that what happened between us has nothing to do with her. We are not from the same world."
The woman, whose mind was infatuated with love and whose eyes were bewildered by beauty, was now concerned only about the stumbling block standing between her and happiness: "...Very good, I'll go and deal with her now."
"You, Mi..." This time, Hei Ya didn't expect that this woman would actually attack him. While they were talking, Shu Yang's men had already applied a large amount of anesthetic to the silver needles that had been pre-coated with it.
Shu Yang gently wiped the sweat from Hei Ya's forehead and handed him to Liu Ying. This time, she wanted to watch with her own eyes the woman named Tang Chen disappear from her sight forever.
...After Wang Yanzhou went upstairs, he found a place to sit down. As soon as the tea and snacks came, he took out his jade pendant and asked the waiter to invite the shopkeeper Jin from Yihuangfang.
"Boss, are the things I ordered from you ready?"
Shopkeeper Jin smiled and nodded, saying, "What you want has been prepared. I wonder if your wife has come yet. Now we just need to test the size to see if any changes are needed."
Wang Yanzhou looked at Tang Chen who was busy trying on hairpins downstairs, and asked the shopkeeper to send someone down to invite him.
Tang Chen ran up with a look of displeasure. She had just found something that was reasonably priced and nice-looking, and she was almost ready to try it on. If someone else bought it first, she would be really angry: "Why did you call me here? I'm busy here!"
"There are some good things here, come and have a look."
After Tang Chen sat down across from Wang Yanzhou, Shopkeeper Jin brought over a brocade box and placed it before her. Inside was a complete set of jewelry: hairpins, hairpins, step-shaking necklaces, earrings, and flower ornaments. Besides these, Shopkeeper Jin also brought over a phoenix coronet from somewhere. The pearls on the coronet were plump and round, and the ruby held by the phoenix shone so brightly that the eyes could only see a bright red.
“Wow, so beautiful!”
"Try it on?"
"good!"
