PaiPai-Romane

Kapitel 135

Tang Leyan thought for a moment and said, "I guess the Crown Prince is probably just too weak. There shouldn't be anything else seriously wrong. Is Your Highness worried about the Crown Prince's health?"

Yin Yue gazed at her for a while before letting out a soft sigh: "You're right."

Tang Leyan chuckled to herself.

Yin Yue frowned and said, "You can laugh at me for being overly worried, the Crown Prince is indeed a good person, but... I'm really worried..."

Unable to utter the unpleasant words, Yin Yue could only glance at Tang Leyan and remain silent.

Looking at her, Tang Leyan's heart stirred, and she said, "Princess, there is no need to worry about this. The Crown Prince has always been pampered. Even if he has some kind of deficiency, he only needs to continue to rest and recuperate properly, and there will naturally be no major problems. I have heard that for this kind of illness, as long as the patient is willing to cooperate with the recuperation, there is no need to worry or exert himself."

Yin Yue still looked worried: "But, Le Yan, as the Crown Prince of Fengcheng, do you think he can quietly recuperate without worrying?"

Tang Leyan was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

Indeed, the Crown Prince is the future emperor of Fengcheng. Currently, Feng Jiansheng holds power in Danning State. One day in the future, the government will definitely be returned to the Crown Prince. Moreover, there will always be various things happening around the imperial power. Who can remain detached and unmoved?

Thinking about it this way, Yin Yue's worries were not without reason.

Looking at the once willful princess, who had transformed into a worried woman for her husband in just a few days, Tang Leyan felt a pang of pity. Holding her fan, she thought for a moment and said, "Princess, you don't need to worry too much. Don't dwell on the past or crave the future; just focus on the present."

Yin Yue's eyes lit up slightly when she heard her say that: "Let's worry about the present..." She smiled and said, "Le Yan, you are right. When I was told that I was going to marry into this family, I even had the thought of not wanting to live. Who would have thought that I would meet such a good person? Sigh, let's worry about the present."

Seeing that she had come to her senses, Tang Leyan reached into her chest, felt around, took out a brocade pouch, and poured out a pill.

Seeing her movements, Yin Yue asked, "What is this?"

Tang Leyan smiled and said, "This was originally something I kept for myself. Since the princess is so worried about the crown prince, I'll give it to her."

"What is this?" Seeing that she had carefully packed it in a brocade pouch, Yin Yue knew it was no ordinary item, and her voice trembled slightly. "These are pills made from dozens of rare medicinal herbs. To be honest, Princess, Le Yan has always been in poor health and falls seriously ill every year. After the illness, she becomes weak and needs to take these pills to recover. The Crown Prince's condition is similar to mine. Even if these pills don't cure his illness completely, they should have a good effect."

Yin Yue was both surprised and delighted: "This... if I take this, then Le Yan, you..."

“Leyan is a martial artist, so she won’t be seriously injured. Let this be a wedding gift from Leyan to you, Princess.” Leyan squeezed the brocade pouch and said, “Although these pills are hard to come by, we managed to get them, so Princess doesn’t need to worry about them.”

She stepped forward and handed over the pill in her palm. Yin Yue reached out and took it, and a faint fragrance wafted into her nostrils, instantly invigorating her. Knowing it was a good thing, she held the pill in her palm, her body trembling slightly involuntarily.

Princess Yinyue accepted the pill. Having grown up in the inner palace since childhood, she was accustomed to all kinds of rare treasures and was naturally no ordinary person. Upon receiving the pill, she was greeted by a wonderful fragrance and a translucent color. The aroma immediately gave her a sense of tranquility and made her realize that it was no ordinary medicine. She was extremely grateful.

Tang Leyan is plagued by fire poison, and every year she will suffer a calamity. Her murderous nature is intertwined with the fire poison. If it is not eliminated properly, she will fall seriously ill. She will be half dead every time, and she will need this pill to recuperate.

What she told Yin Yue was half true and half false. The truth was that the pill did indeed have the function of saving lives, but the falsehood was that the pill was extremely difficult to obtain, and some of the medicinal materials were extremely rare. Tang Shao Si had gone to great lengths to obtain it in order to save the life of his beloved woman.

However, Tang Leyan softened her heart when she saw that Yin Yue was worried about her husband. In addition, Yin Yue had been in good spirits recently and had Chu Zhen's guards protecting her. Moreover, once things were over, she could return to Shundu. If she met Chu Zhen, she would not be afraid of any problem. In a moment of carelessness, she only wanted to get things done with Yin Yue smoothly, and handed over the spiritual medicine so easily.

Yin Yue was grateful and talked for a while longer before taking her leave.

Tang Leyan hummed a song as she went out, still in high spirits, while calling on her subordinates to start packing their luggage early, just waiting for her triumphant return home the next day.

She had absolutely no attachment to Fengcheng.

It wasn't until after wandering around for so many days that I realized I like a place not because of its beautiful scenery, pleasant environment, affordable prices, or numerous other advantages, but simply because the people I care about and miss are there.

It's that simple.

Beitang Yujian gazed at the person on the bed.

Chu Zhen kept her eyes closed, as if she was quietly thinking about something. Her flawless face was expressionless, unlike that of a patient.

Beitang Yujian sighed.

Chu Zhen opened her eyes and glanced at him indifferently.

Beitang Yujian coughed. He smiled and said, "You're awake, sir?"

Chu Zhen nodded and tried to sit up.

Beitang Yujian stepped forward and supported his arm.

Chu Zhen was taken aback, then used his strength to sit up and lean against the bedside before saying in a low voice, "It's getting worse and worse."

Upon hearing this, Beitang Yujian felt a lump in his throat and couldn't help but say, "It's to be expected that you, sir, won't take good care of your health."

Chu Zhen looked up at him and said, "Young Master Beitang..."

Beitang Yujian lowered his eyes and slowly said, "I have been entrusted with this task. I must be loyal to my lord. I have been entrusted with this task, so of course I must protect you well. However, if you do not want yourself to be well, no matter how anxious or protective others are, it will be useless. Do you understand, my lord?"

Chu Zhen stared at him for a long time, then lowered her head and remained silent.

Beitang Yujian smiled again: "Life is like morning dew; if it disappears, it will be very quick. Moreover, life and death are impermanent, and it's not up to Beitang Yujian to say anything. It's just that others are the ones who will be saddened."

He stared at Chu Zhen for a while, but saw no other expression on his face. Then, footsteps sounded at the door. Beitang Yujian turned his head and saw the female official Luo Ling step in gently. When she saw Chu Zhen get up, she exclaimed softly, "My lord is awake."

He hurriedly turned away to put on the doctor's clothes and came in.

Before Chu Zhen could stop him, Beitang Yujian said, "My lord, please rest well. I will not disturb you any longer."

Chu Zhen nodded: "Thank you for your trouble, Young Hero Beitang."

Seeing his calm and composed demeanor, Beitang Yujian sighed inwardly, turned around, and walked towards the door.

Chu Zhen watched his figure disappear by the door, then reached out and beckoned.

"My lord..." The ninja appeared in a flash, bowing respectfully beside the bed.

Chu Zhen asked, "How is the situation over there?"

The ninja said, "Tomorrow is the departure date. If there are no unusual events tonight... everything will be fine, sir, there's no need to worry."

"Don't worry... Hah." Chu Zhen raised his eyebrows: "It's true that the Emperor met with him in private. I don't believe it's just a simple meeting. Besides, sigh... Keep investigating. If anything unexpected happens, remember what to do."

The ninja nodded: "I will convey your words to Hayate."

Chu Zhen reached up and rubbed her forehead: "I hope we can make it in time, and I hope everything goes smoothly."

The ninja bowed, then slipped back and disappeared.

Chu Zhen rolled out of bed and walked to the window.

At the doorway stood Beitang Yujian, leaning against the door, listening to the sounds inside but remaining silent.

Chu Zhen pushed open the window and looked outside.

The snow fell silently in the courtyard. The old tree that hadn't bloomed for over ten years was covered with glistening snowflakes. The snowflakes fell layer by layer, gradually engulfing the tree's original branches. When viewed from a distance, it looked strangely shaped, as if the tree was covered in white flowers.

Hayate is Chu Zhen's most capable ninja.

When Chu Zhen sent him to Danning to secretly protect Tang Leyan, he was somewhat reluctant.

However, as a ninja, the most important thing is to obey the master's orders, so Hayate obediently came.

It was fortunate that he arrived, allowing him to save Tang Leyan's life in time while she was practicing her skills. If it were someone else, Lie Huo, with his volatile temper, probably wouldn't have thought of using that method to save someone, and Leng was too aloof. Presumably, when Chu Zhen sent him, he had already considered that his personality was suitable for protection.

Tang Leyan had a very good impression of the ninja who had been specially sent.

After arranging the return trip for tomorrow, she returned to her room. The thought of setting off back to Shundu tomorrow filled Tang Leyan with inexplicable excitement.

I wanted to call out to Jifeng for a chat, so I called out twice, but no one showed up.

Tang Leyan was puzzled. She calmed herself down and observed her surroundings. Finally, she realized that the gale seemed to have disappeared.

Tang Leyan got out of bed, walked to the door, opened it, and looked outside.

If a ninja wants to hide, ordinary people cannot see where he is.

But Tang Leyan had full confidence in herself.

But she still couldn't see where Gale was.

Just as she was feeling uneasy, she heard a whooshing sound in the air.

Tang Leyan turned her head and heard a movement inside the room.

"You're back?" she exclaimed with delight, turning around to look.

The silver-white figure stood still, head bowed, and only answered with a single "Mm".

Tang Leyan stepped forward and said, "Where did you go just now? I was very worried."

A silvery-white shadow flickered: "But I have some business to attend to outside."

Tang Leyan glanced at him, her joy slowly fading, and frowned as she asked, "Raise your head."

Jifeng moved again.

Tang Leyan's eyes flashed, and she stepped forward.

Jifeng's feet didn't move, but his body retreated like lightning.

Tang Leyan missed her target, stood there looking at him, and asked, "Are you injured? What happened?"

The gale, still with its head bowed, replied, "It's alright."

"Why won't you let me see it?" she asked.

Jifeng shook his head: "No need."

Tang Leyan frowned: "Your martial arts are quite good, who else could hurt you? Are you perhaps afraid that I will find out who did it, so you are avoiding me?" Even though Jifeng was usually calm, his shoulders still trembled slightly upon hearing this.

Tang Leyan asked again, "Was I right?"

Ji Feng clenched his fist and suddenly said, "Young Master, let's leave Fengcheng as soon as possible!"

Tang Leyan was startled: "What do you mean by that?"

Chapter 174 Souvenirs of Yanshui Road in Jiangnan

Ji Feng turned his head to one side, but remained silent.

Tang Leyan was about to ask another question when her eyes flashed, and she heard light footsteps coming from outside the door.

Just then, Gale's figure flashed and disappeared instantly.

Tang Leyan turned her head and looked for a while, then shook her head helplessly: "You want to say something but you won't. What do you want?"

"What are you talking to yourself about?" The door opened and someone came in.

Tang Leyan looked up: "Haha, it's the Deputy Envoy. What brings you here?"

"Can't I come if there's nothing wrong?" Chu Gexing said indifferently, and without waiting for Tang Leyan to greet him, he walked forward to the table and sat down.

Tang Leyan said, "You're always so busy, I never see you. This is the first time I've seen you come to see me, so I naturally assumed you wouldn't come unless you had something important to say."

Chu Gexing snorted: "Hmm, you're right. I saw that everything seems to be ready over there. I came to ask when we're setting off tomorrow."

Tang Leyan thought of what Jifeng had said earlier, shook her head and said, "Let's bid farewell to the princess and set off as soon as it's light."
