After Tang Chen wrote a line on the paper, Liang Shuyi looked at her and sighed deeply: "This is what happened..."
The Liang family somehow learned of Liang Shuyi's whereabouts, and although they didn't send anyone to take her back, her mother had someone secretly deliver a note and three feet of white silk two days ago. The general meaning was, if you don't come back, wait for this white silk to collect your body.
To be honest, when Tang Chen heard this, every pore of his body revealed shock. Seeing that Liang Shuyi always needed her mother to help her escape, did something happen in her family?
Liang Shuyi continued, "You've probably heard about the recent changes in the court. The Liang family's current situation seems to be deeply favored by the emperor, but in reality, they are walking on the edge of a knife. My mother never forces anything on me. You know, every time I was arranged to go on a blind date, she helped me escape without my father's knowledge. If you ask me to go back now, I don't believe it unless it's urgent. But I'm afraid that if I leave, I will never be able to..."
Before Liang Shuyi finished speaking, Shen Xin suddenly appeared behind her: “There’s nothing to be afraid of, I’ll go back with you.”
"Chen Xin!"
Tang Chen wrote another piece of paper and handed it over, explaining: Seeing that you were acting weird, I called him over as well. What a coincidence.
Liang Shuyi looked at Chen Xin with tears in her eyes. She hoped from the bottom of her heart that he could accompany her back, but she couldn't: "...No, if you go, if my father knows our relationship, he will never let you go easily."
Chen Xin gently wiped the tears from Liang Shuyi's face and said softly, "It's okay, just believe me. I have to meet your family eventually, I'm not afraid. You also have to believe me, I have my own way to convince them, but..."
When Chen Xin looked at Tang Chen, Tang Chen had already written a note and handed it to him: There are many good doctors here, and you are not a big deal.
"Thank you, young lady. Shuyi, go and pack up. I'll go see the master."
"……good."
The next morning, Liang Shuyi and Shen Xin simply packed their belongings, took some gifts, and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Tang Chen mysteriously stuffed a small cloth bag into her hand.
"What is this?"
Chen Xin explained: "She asked me to have someone prepare the sleeping pills, fake death pills, and turtle breathing powder."
Liang Shuyi looked at the bottles and jars in the bag and didn't know what to say for a moment: "...I really want to see what's going on in your head."
Tang Chen smiled and wrote: Be prepared for both situations, just in case.
Liang Shuyi straightened Tang Chen's hair that was messed up by the wind, and helped her carefully look at the veil that was shielding her eyes from the light. After giving her a lot of advice, she slowly let go of her hand: "Take good care of yourself. I hope both of us will be well when we meet next time."
...After Liang Shuyi and the other two left, Tang Chen didn't know if it was Wang Yanzhou's intention or what. She didn't hear any news about them for the next two weeks. Although she was worried about something happening, seeing that Wang Yanzhou didn't seem to be acting out of the ordinary, she just let it go.
Although Tang Chen was not fully recovered, after half a month, she was able to chatter and talk as before. Tang Chen was bored and was sitting on the roof enjoying the breeze when she saw an eagle with a red ribbon tied to its foot slowly flying into the courtyard where they lived.
Tang Chen had seen the eagle several times before. It seemed to be a "messenger pigeon" raised by Black Crow to deliver messages. When she came down from the roof and went to Black Crow's room to investigate, the eagle had flown away again. But Black Crow had a small red note in his hand.
"...Is this a killing order?"
Black Crow nodded and said, "I suddenly received an order and have to go."
Tang Chen not only disagreed with Black Crow's work, but was also very worried: "...Then be careful. Write to me after you're done and let me know you're safe."
"must."
Tang Chen looked at Hei Ya with a complicated expression, then suggested, "...would you really like to change your position?"
Black Crow smiled and said, "Haha, I won't consider it for now. I can consider it when I have a girlfriend."
"Then you'd better do this for the rest of your life. I'm afraid no one will want you." After saying this, Tang Chen found herself slapped in the face. Apart from anything else, wasn't her current appearance like a medicine bottle caused by this man's fanatical fans? She was puzzled. First, Lin Chongrong pursued Wang Yanzhou and refused to let him go even after becoming the king's woman; then Princess Shuyang had a brain hole and murdered a kind young woman just to make her look at me again. Are the women in this palace so idle? Don't they have to fight in the palace?
"The people chasing me can line up from the street to the end of the alley. Don't underestimate me, big brother." After saying that, Hei Ya climbed out the window and said that he was going out to buy something and left.
After sending Black Crow away, Tang Chen felt even more depressed. Wang Yanzhou had his own things to do and couldn't often take her out for a stroll. Furthermore, this time, he seemed a little mentally disturbed. Whenever she wanted to go out, he would put on a stern face and show displeasure.
Tang Chen moved a chair to Wang Yanzhou's desk, drooping his head, and looked at Wang Yanzhou with a look of despair: "Everyone has left, and you are the only one left. I am so angry."
While Wang Yanzhou was processing the documents sent in from various places, he said with a smile: "Why are you angry? Isn't it enough to have me accompany you?"
"Ah, I'm still a little uncomfortable without them."
After that, the two of them fell into a brief silence. Tang Chen had always had a question: Didn't Wang Yanzhou say he was a businessman? Wouldn't a businessman usually look at account books and the like? Why did he seem to receive official documents from all over the place every day? Could he be an imperial merchant? Or a relative of some powerful family? Or a foreign spy?
The silence was broken by a man in white wearing a Qilin mask. He stood at the doorway, and after receiving Wang Yanzhou's tacit approval, he walked in and said, "My Lord, I have some clues about what Miss Tang had asked me to investigate."
As he spoke, the man in white pulled out something that looked like a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Tang Chen. Tang Chen took the thing with some excitement and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you very much, brother, you have worked hard these days. Go and rest first!"
Looking at the booklet in his hand, Tang Chen let out a long sigh: "After searching for so long, I finally have some news about Zhirou."
Tang Chen got news about Su Zhirou, and Qinghe, by coincidence, seemed to have found the person he had been thinking about day and night.
...After helping Huayue Tower and getting the black pearl, Zhang Xiaohua wanted to relax, so he rowed his broken fishing boat back and forth on the Ming River all day long.
Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaohua and his men were about to go ashore to buy some things. Shuisheng, who was rowing the boat, noticed some strange figures in the reeds on the river bank.
"Boss, it seems someone has fainted on the shore."
"Go and have a look."
