"..." Li Xinzhai remained silent. She had said the same thing last time, and they had agreed. But the consequence was that he was still captured. If it weren't for the noble rescue, he would have either gone to the Naihe Bridge to drink soup, or followed Shangguan Bing'er's team to the Northern Desert.
As soon as Tang Chen opened his eyes, he saw Li Xinzhai looking at him expressionlessly. He stood up straight, raised his hand and said, "I swear, I promise, I will never act alone this time. They are really short of manpower, so you can go and help. At most, you can just come to check on them every once in a while."
Li Xinzhai glared at her, then sat there in a daze for a moment before saying, "...I suddenly have a bold idea."
Tang Chen asked with some curiosity: "Tell me about it?"
Li Xinzhai leaned closer to Tang Chen and whispered, "Speaking of this fight, it actually has nothing to do with us. How about we 'elope'?"
Lian Qiao, who was standing nearby, suddenly had a long expression on her face when she heard Li Xinzhai's words. Seeing this, Tang Chen quickly explained, "Tsk tsk tsk, put away your bold idea. Look, you've scared Lian Qiao."
Li Xinzhai said somewhat disappointedly, "Just kidding, just kidding. In that case, I'll go see if there's anyone I can help with. You stay put, it's a mess out there."
Speaking of chaos, Tang Chen suddenly thought of someone: "Oh, speaking of this, would Uncle Li like to take it over? If this matter gets out of hand, it will be hard for an old man like him to survive in the chaos."
Li Xinzhai said that he had considered this issue long ago: "Don't worry, when the eldest brother left, I asked him to take the person away."
Before the man finished speaking, Tang Chen turned around inadvertently and saw a crow blacker than an African man appearing out of nowhere outside the door.
"Are you sure?"
Li Xinzhai said with certainty, "Of course, I saw him leave with my own eyes."
Tang Chen motioned him to turn around and said, "Then, who is that black guy outside the door?"
Li Xinzhai turned around and saw Mo Yuzhen looking at him with a smile in his eyes. He didn't know where he came from. "Why are you back?"
Mo Yu dodged slightly and swayed to Tang Chen's side. After dodging Li Xinzhai's ruthless iron palm, he poured tea while saying, "I was afraid you were dead, so I came to collect your body."
Li Xinzhai originally wanted to chase him away, but seeing that he and Tang Chen seemed to be getting along well, and besides, he was a moody person, just like Tang Chen, and was not someone who would be manipulated, so he simply gave up the idea. Since he was already here, he couldn't eat and drink for free. "Forget it, then I'll leave her to you."
Before Tang Chen could say anything, Mo Yu said firmly, "I refuse."
"Objection is useless. If you don't want to do it, go back." After saying that, Li Xinzhai really handed Tang Chen to him with confidence, and trotted out to help.
After Tang Chen and Mo Yu exchanged a glance, they said to Lian Qiao coquettishly, "Hello Lian Qiao, I want to eat some milk fan. Can you help me get it from the kitchen?"
"Um."
After Lian Qiao left, Mo Yu took a long breath and said, "Stretch out your hand."
Tang Chen quickly handed over her hand and quietly began to examine Mo Yu. If she hadn't discovered by chance that Mo Yu had this hidden ability, she wouldn't have secretly kept him here. However, she didn't know if Uncle Li had made it safely to Mo Yu's hometown.
After Mo Yu finished the examination, Tang Chen asked nervously, "How is the situation?"
Mo Yu nodded slightly and asked, "Are you really not going to tell them about this?"
Tang Chen straightened his sleeves and said calmly, "You don't understand adult matters."
Mo Yu gave her a cold look, then seeing that Lian Qiao hadn't returned yet, he asked in a low voice, "Oh, do you still want me to prescribe you a prescription?"
Tang Chen shook his head slightly and said, "No, as long as there is no problem."
This medicine is three-quarters toxic, so it's better to eat less. Besides, as long as the nutrition is sufficient, there's no need to treat this untimely baby in my belly unfairly. Fortunately, Wang Yanzhou and the others are busy now, and Li Xinzhai has been sent away by her. If the morning sickness is severe in the future, it can be concealed. Everything will be discussed after the dust settles.
Qingliang Valley was already busy enough, and she really didn't want to cause them any more trouble. If Wang Yanzhou knew she was pregnant, he would be even more cautious in handling the matters at hand. When she found out she was pregnant, she was naturally very happy, but who knew that she had originally intended to give Wang Yanzhou a surprise, but in the end she would be so frightened.
Seeing her insistence, Mo Yu didn't plan to say anything more and only instructed: "Okay, drink less tea and eat less spicy food in the future."
Tang Chen nodded vigorously and replied, "I understand!"
When Lian Qiao came back with the snacks, the two of them were sitting there chatting and talking as if nothing had happened, like friends who had met after a long time. It seemed that their relationship was much better than she had heard.
Although Qingliang Valley was bustling with activity, it was fortunately well-organized. If Wang Yanzhou hadn't returned, who knows how chaotic things would have become. With Lian Qiao and Mo Yu by his side, Tang Chen's days in the palace were relatively easy. Although Lian Qiao noticed that the two seemed to be hiding something from her, she didn't dare to ask. After all, if she did find out, it would be disastrous.
Furthermore, in her opinion, although the two of them would occasionally send her away, it seemed to be just whispering, not much else. Before she came, Qinghe had heard about this senior brother of Li Xinzhai. He had a moody temper, and Qinghe had specifically instructed that if this person was present, Tang Chen must be taken care of. She must not let anyone deceive her.
When it comes to Mo Yu, Li Xinzhai comes up, and when it comes to Li Xinzhai, Shu Yang can't get over it. Ever since Shu Yang witnessed the intimate interaction between the two senior brothers that night, coupled with the daily stress and the endless workload, he's become somewhat sluggish. He keeps making mistakes. Although Shu Yang is trying hard to adjust, he doesn't know when it will end.
Meanwhile, after gaining power within the palace, Yao Ji diligently carried out every task assigned by Emperor Gan Zhao, and gradually, many matters within Tianshu Tower fell into his hands. Suddenly, he remembered what Wang Yanzhou had said to him earlier. He had said Yao Chen was too flamboyant and arrogant, despite his youth, he possessed a great mind. He had kept a low profile for so many years, but Emperor Gan Zhao had finally entrusted the throne to him. He simply wondered if, at this moment, he could truly shoulder this heavy responsibility.
