It is nearly a thousand miles from the capital to Liangzhou. Along the way, Lingchan's reputation is being praised everywhere.
Empress Xuannv came from the sky. She has great love and boundless kindness. She spreads her kindness everywhere. She rescues civilian women trapped in the land of fireworks and helps women with difficult labor give birth...
All kinds of good deeds are talked about among the people in the North, and they spread so quickly that they can't be finished all day and night.
Most people can tell about the deeds of Empress Xuannv, and they all know that Empress Xuannv is the beloved concubine of the emperor in the capital, but only a few people know that the person who did these kind deeds is not the concubine at all, but The queen's maids.
The real Empress Xuannv sat in the carriage eating snacks and nibbling melon seeds, enjoying Tantai's meticulous service throughout the whole process.
The system asked doubtfully: [You couldn't be more lazy to suffer outside, so you were taken away by Tantaishi on purpose, right? 】
[Of course not,] Lingchan originally wanted to see if she could come up with anything new in Tantai, but this was the result?
They all chatted together, and then got into the carriage with the food box in hand. He placed the rich and exquisite breakfast in front of Lingchan one by one, and held up his chin to watch Lingchan eat.
Yes, that's right, this is King An's revenge. He wants to keep a close eye on Ling Chan. Ling Chan is not allowed to have anyone else around her except him. She even sleeps in this spacious carriage at night.
Staring at Lingchan all day long, walking around her, deciding the dishes for Lingchan's three meals a day, the style of hairpins on her hair, the color of her clothes and skirts, and even the material of her socks.
At first he was just watching with his eyes and mocking her, but in recent days it has become more and more excessive. He became obsessed with braiding Lingchan's hair, and he took her beautiful black hair and played with it over and over in his hands.
The strength of his hand was neither light nor heavy, and from time to time he would pull it, causing Chan's scalp to hurt, which made Chan upset. With a snap, he slapped the strong chest in front of her.
"Squeamish!"
Tantai scolded her angrily, but subconsciously relaxed his movements.
After struggling for half an hour, a messy and shapeless mess of hair emerged.
Do you think this is children's play house?
Ling Chan clicked her tongue and said, "Are you displeased with me? It would be too childish to retaliate in this way."
"What do you know?" Tantai Shi snorted: "If you have such ugly hair, you won't want to go out and embarrass yourself! You can only stay in the carriage obediently and let me control you!"
When he said the word "at my mercy", he blushed slightly and his eyes wandered, not knowing what he was thinking.
Just when Lingchan was about to get tired of playing this childish game.
Fu Wenci is here.
Wearing a Liuhe hat and a green bamboo robe, he held a folding fan in his hand. He had a graceful demeanor, like a scribe, and was cautiously pressed down by the patrolling guards.
Sitting in front of Ling Chan's carriage in Tantai, he looked at him with eagerness and vigilance, like a dragon guarding treasure. He didn't bother to pretend to be humble and asked directly:
"What are you doing here?"
Fu Wenci: "Of course I came to seek refuge with His Highness Prince An. I heard that Liangzhou is remote and plagued by war. I hope to assist His Highness so that the people there can live and work in peace and contentment, and have food and clothing without worries."
Tantai Shi didn't do this at all.
He twitched the corners of his lips, stretched his long arms into the carriage, took Lingchan out of it, and placed her on his lap.
Lingchan wanted to bury her face in his arms, but Tantaishi refused.
Against Lingchan's wishes, he pinched the girl's fair and smooth face and showed it to Fu Wenci.
"This is my maid," he said with a smile, "Is she pretty?"
"...Why would your Highness be so humiliating?" The veins on Fu Wenci's forehead jumped.
"What's not humiliating?" Tantai made sure that he had seen clearly. He immediately turned the girl's face into his arms and said casually: "That's the kind of person I am. Didn't you say you want to help me? Even my own master If you can’t see clearly, how can you do that?”
"——Hiss," Tantai Shi suddenly took a breath of cold air. He waved his hand, and the guards dragged Fu Wenci away, "Let's wait until you think about it clearly."
He hugged Lingchan and returned to the carriage, frowned and asked, "Why are you pinching me?"
Lingchan looked at him coldly, "Are you humiliating me?"
Tantai Shi's eyes trembled, but he refused to forgive, and immediately sneered: "Of course!"
"There is no noble concubine here," he leaned forward, resting his chin on the top of Lingchan's hair, rubbing it stickyly, "you are my prisoner."
"You hate me?"
"how could be?"
Ling Chan was tightly held in his arms, her chin pressed harder and harder as her head rested on the platform, "I should be thanking you."
"You made me understand what it feels like to like someone."
Ling Chan was sullen in his arms and said nothing.
"Hey!" Tantai was a little annoyed. He lowered his head and rubbed Lingchan's fair earlobe, "You're not really angry, are you?"
The hot breath he exhaled as he spoke surged in Lingchan's ears, steaming hot. His voice was small but very clear, "Don't you know my heart for you? Look, I've held you for so long. How nice of you! You won’t suffer any grievances at all, the food and clothing are all the best, and I usually have this king taking care of you in your daily life, so what do you have to be angry about!”
Lingchan finally spoke: "You weren't acting coquettishly in Tantai, were you?"
Tantai sat upright for a moment, looking at the calm yet curious eyes of the girl in his arms, he suddenly lost his temper, "... Just say so."
His hot forehead gently touched Lingchan's cool forehead, "We'll always be together like this, okay? Don't leave me, I will always be good to you."
The cheeks of the young man in front of her were flushed, as if steam was coming out. His eyes were brighter than the stars in the sky, and the strong emotions in them seemed to flow into Lingchan's heart from the intertwined sight.
…
As the sun sets and the moon rises, night comes soon, and the forest becomes quiet, with only the sound of wind and birdsong lingering in my ears.
Ling Chan opened her eyes.
She sat up and tentatively tugged on the curtain of the carriage. Her thick face was pulled open, revealing a corner of the dark mountain scenery.
[That pervert from Tantai, why aren’t you here today? 】The system is a little confused.
Seeing Ling Chan open the curtain and walk out, the system suddenly reacted, [Chan Chan, don't go, he is deliberately testing you! See if you will listen to him and stay in the carriage! 】
"Is there any need to test this?" Lingchan stepped out of the carriage and jumped off the shaft, "Of course I won't listen to him." 】
[Stay with him and be his pet? It's quite a beautiful thought. 】
She hadn't walked a few steps when she saw Fu Wenci, who was pushing aside the woods and bypassing the guards, and walking cautiously this way.
Fu Wenci also saw her, ran over in a few steps, and whispered: "There is something strange in this camp. Everyone is sleeping soundly, and they are not afraid of anything happening in the middle of the night..."
Ling Chan knew that this was Tantai Shi's deliberate betrayal, but there was no need to tell Fu Wenci, as it would only aggravate his unnecessary panic.
She asked directly: "Brother, why don't you follow His Royal Highness?"
