Regardless of whether Hong Yu was telling the truth or not, Su Zhirou's fate was in Tang Chen's hands from the moment she was recognized. Su Zhirou and she had no connection at all. To be blunt, whether this woman lived or died had nothing to do with Hong Yu.
However, Su Zhirou alone would be fine. In a sense, the lives of too many people in the world depend on Huangfu Xiong, and Su Zhirou's existence is undoubtedly the greatest help to Huangfu Xiong: "There is one more thing, actually, I want to give you a suggestion."
Tang Chen smiled slightly and asked, "Are you talking about Su Zhirou's matter? Is there anything wrong with me taking her back?"
Hong Yu explained, "It's not that she can't go. I just think that since she's already been poisoned, she'll be much more useful here than going to Qingliang Valley. Also, the things you want to learn from her can be left to Shi Zairong and the others, right? After all, we all have the same goal right now, so there's no conflict of interest."
Tang Chen wasn't worried about Su Zhirou's safety at this time. If she were still the resourceful girl she once was, Tang Chen wouldn't be so anxious to take her back. Now that she had lost her memory, restoring it was no easy task, and it wasn't something these soldiers, who had no experience caring for others, could do well.
"But this is still a military camp, full of rough and tumble men. I'm afraid they won't be able to take good care of her, and before she can explain the situation clearly, they'll drive them crazy."
Hong Yu said that if Tang Chen was only worried about this problem, then it would be easy to solve: "You forgot, isn't there a little girl here?"
Tang Chen was slightly stunned, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "...You are talking about that person?"
Hong Yu knew that in Tang Chen's mind, the little girl was the murderer of her important friend, but if it wasn't necessary, she still suggested that she leave Su Zhirou here. Besides what she had just said, the poison in Su Zhirou's body had indeed been cured, but no one could guarantee that she wouldn't suddenly relapse. If the poison wasn't completely cured, and she suddenly became a living dead, not to mention being in Tang Chen's palace, wouldn't Qingliang Valley be in great trouble?
Therefore, even though Hong Yu knew that Tang Chen was dissatisfied with Tan Hua, he still insisted on suggesting, "I know it's difficult to convince you now. I also feel that what that woman did at that time is somewhat unforgivable, but I still suggest this to you."
Tang Chen looked up at the Queen and sighed slightly. She didn't believe a murderer could properly care for a patient with amnesia and a volatile temperament. But Hong Yu had a point. While she was still struggling with this, she decided to move on from this topic for the time being.
It was only just now that Tang Chen realized that since he came here, Ou Yezi, the legendary forger of the South Vietnamese artillery, had not shown up; she even had a gift for him in her sleeve. "By the way, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something. Can you help me?"
Seeing that Tang Chen was talking about something else, Hong Yu stopped talking and continued, "You can talk, I'll do my best."
Tang Chen said, "I want to meet that Ou Yezi and talk to him alone."
Hong Yu's brows furrowed slightly. She couldn't remember Tang Chen and Ou Yezi having any connection, so why did she suddenly want to see him? Could it be that Wang Yanzhou had given her some other instructions when they hurried over? "...I'll go talk to Shi Zairong and see if we can arrange it as soon as possible."
Tang Chen nodded and said, "Well, I have something very important to tell him. It's very important. If possible, I hope to see him right away."
Hong Yu saw that Tang Chen's face was a little serious and he looked very anxious. She didn't ask any more questions and said, "Okay, you stay here with your friend. I will go and help you lobby now."
"Thank you very much."
Hong Yu smiled and said, "It's too polite to say this to me. If you really want to thank me for something, come and stay with me for two days when I get married."
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed: "I'm glad to. I was worried that you wouldn't send me an invitation."
Hong Yu smiled and said, "Pfft, I'm going to go find Shi Zairong and will be back soon. Don't run around, or I'll help you tie the strings and build the bridge, but you won't be able to find him."
"clear."
...After a while, Tang Chen borrowed Shi Zairong's favor and asked someone to find a jar of good wine. Of course, she didn't take it for free, she also paid for it.
When she had placed the wine glass and jar at the place agreed by Hong Yu, and before she could even sit down, the unprepossessing Ou Yezi showed up on time.
Ou Yezi bowed to Tang Chen and glanced at the wine glass on the table. "I heard that Madam wants to discuss something important with me. So, let's skip the wine."
Tang Chen smiled slightly and said tiredly, "It's inevitable. Sir, please sit down first and wait for me to finish speaking. I think you will definitely drink this glass of wine even if I don't let you drink it."
After Ou Yezi sat down, he seemed to be somewhat disgusted with Tang Chen and wanted to leave quickly, urging her to say, "Madam, please stop beating around the bush with me. If you have something to say, just say it directly."
Tang Chen poured the wine and said with a smile, "Sir, if Wang Ruo hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have believed that the man standing in front of me was the humble gentleman who had always been by her side and protected her."
Ou Yezi froze for a moment. He believed his disguise was perfect. Aside from Wang Ruo, no one else could tell. Tang Chen, surely, wasn't deliberately trying to trick him: "...did she tell you everything?"
Tang Chen pushed the wine glass in front of him and said, "I've told you everything. I know everything I can tell you."
After saying that, Tang Chen pulled out a letter and a small brocade box from his sleeve and placed them on the table. "Before she and Jiang Ling left, she asked me to bring you a letter and a bracelet. She said that she had known you for a while, and if you meet your soulmate in the future, you can treat it as a family heirloom. If you were alone, she wouldn't have anything good to leave you, so consider this a token of her love."
Ou Yezi glanced at the items on the table and carefully put the letter away, apparently intending to read it slowly after Tang Chen left. As for the brocade box, when he opened it and found that it contained the gift he had given to Wang Ruo before, he closed the box and smiled helplessly, "She's with Jiang Ling now. She must be very happy, right?"
