King Li's carriage was driving through the streets of Andu, but only Ling Zhouyang and Ren Ruyi were on the carriage.
Yang Ying followed Ning Yuanzhou and others on horseback.
Not long after entering An, someone came to stir up trouble. Fortunately, Ning Yuanzhou and the others solved them.
Li Tongguang took the envoy to rest at the Siyi Pavilion in Andu and only asked Yang Ying to wait to be summoned.
Seeing Yang Ying's panic, Ling Zhouyang said softly: "Your Highness, don't worry. Since Emperor An won't summon us, let's just wait. He is thinking about the gold of Wu Kingdom."
Asking Wu Guo to use one hundred thousand taels of gold to redeem people, his intention is clear.
Ning Yuanzhou looked at Yang Ying and nodded, "We are exhausted all the way, so we need to take a good rest."
Yang Ying nodded obediently after hearing this.
Ning Yuanzhou turned to the people in Liudaotang and said, "Brothers, follow me to pull out the nails in the yard."
After Ning Yuanzhou and the others left, Ling Zhouyang and Ren Ruyi took Yang Ying into the house.
Ling Zhouyang: "If Your Highness is really flustered, you should calm down and take a rest. The journey is tiring, so Your Highness should not overthink."
Ren Ruyi nodded, "You're right, you must be mentally alert to cope with what's coming next."
Yang Ying is now more nervous than ever, "But, but I feel a little uneasy."
Ling Zhouyang's tone was solemn, "Everyone is already in Andu, so what's the use of being uneasy anymore? Yang Ying, you were taught by Ren Ruyi, and Ren Ruyi's disciples shouldn't be cowardly."
Ren Ruyi frowned and looked at Ling Zhouyang, seemingly a little dissatisfied with Ling Zhouyang's straightforward words.
"Look what I am doing. Look at your other apprentice Li Tongguang. He is extremely arrogant. Only you can teach such an apprentice." Ling Zhouyang ignored Ren Ruyi's eyes and said loudly. Endless.
"Your Highness, you are now the King of Ceremony of Dawu. Although Dawu was defeated, Dawu's national power is still strong, so there is nothing to worry about. You can just take advantage of it."
"If you are really scared, I will give you some poison. If someone makes you unhappy, you can drug him. Don't worry, my poison will never be detected."
Hearing what Ling Zhouyang said, Yang Ying felt energetic.
"Sister Lingzhou, what kind of poison is so powerful? It can still be avoided, but it won't poison people, right?" Then she thought about it, "But wouldn't it be a little bad if I drugged it in Anguo Palace?"
Ling Zhouyang lightly tapped Yang Ying's forehead, "What are you thinking about? They are just little poisons that make people suffer from abdominal pain, diarrhea, and unbearable itching."
Ren Ru noticed that Yang Ying was so excited, but poured cold water on her, "It's better not to cause trouble. We can't find out, but Emperor An may not be suspicious."
Ling Zhouyang nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm going to find a room to rest. You two can chat slowly."
She really had the idea of giving poison to Yang Ying, but since Ren Ruyi didn't allow it, then forget it.
*
Before the third watch, Emperor An was about to summon Yang Ying.
At this time, only Ling Zhouyang was sleeping soundly in the entire Seyi Pavilion.
Yang Ying took Ning Yuanzhou, Qian Zhao, Yuan Lu, Yu Shisan and Du Changshi to the palace.
Ling Zhouyang was woken up by Ren Ruyi.
She looked at Ren Ruyi sitting beside her bed with sleepy eyes, full of resentment.
"Are you okay? Why are you up so late at night?"
Ren Ruyi's expression did not change, "His Royal Highness has entered the palace, I want to chat with you."
Ling Zhouyang glared at Ren Ruyi and shouted: "Ren Ruyi, are you sick? Drag me, a patient, up to chat with you?"
"It's the third watch. Didn't you always get up early when you were with Emperor Chu?" Ren Ruyi once again ignored Ling Zhouyang's dissatisfaction.
Ling Zhouyang couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "You are destined to have a serious illness. I haven't lived that kind of life for more than a year. Getting up early has nothing to do with me."
Ren Ruyi quickly changed the subject, "Your eyes look very similar to Qian Zhao's."
Ling Zhouyang almost couldn't lift it up when she heard this.
What on earth is this guy here for?
Lingzhou remained silent, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then tentatively said, "Are you worried about Yang Ying?"
Ren Ruyi paused, then denied, "No, I'm worried that you'll be injured too badly and won't be able to wake up."
Ling Zhouyang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger that was about to rise in her heart, and comforted: "Don't worry, Yang Ying was taught by you personally. Even if something happens, she can quickly find a way to deal with it."
Seemingly feeling that Ling Zhouyang's words made sense, Ren Ruyi was no longer so worried, "Well, you can go to sleep, I'll leave first."
Ling Zhouyang reached out and grabbed Ren Ruyi.
"Since you're here, just sleep with me and warm my bed. Besides, I haven't finished talking to you yet."
Ren Ruyi paused for a moment, then got into Ling Zhouyang's bed.
Ren Ruyi asked: "What else do you want to talk about?"
"Will you and Ning Yuanzhou give up what's in your heart because of each other?" Ling Zhouyang's voice was a little dull.
Ren Ruyi replied softly: "No, but we will think of a compromise."
Ling Zhouyang raised her arms to rest her head on her head and looked at Ren Ruyi, "What's a compromise?"
Ren Ruyi also looked at Ling Zhouyang, "Our method is not suitable for you and Qian Zhao."
"Yuanzhou was just forced to take on this job. Once the job is completed, he will no longer be the leader of the Six Paths Hall. But Qian Zhao is different. Qian Zhao was sent by the Queen, and he is still someone close to Emperor Wu."
Ling Zhouyang was silent, what Ren Ruyi said made sense.
Ning Yuanzhou is Ning Yuanzhou, Qian Zhao is Qian Zhao, they are different.
"Then what do you think I should do?" Ling Zhouyang was at her wits end. She really didn't know who to ask.
"According to what you think in your heart, are you willing to stay for him, or..." Ren Ruyi didn't finish her words, but Ling Zhouyang understood.
Everything depends on her own choice, whether she chooses to stay or leave.
Ling Zhouyang raised the corners of her lips and teased, "You've become more enlightened recently."
Ren Ruyi hummed and said, "You are still as stupid as ever."
Ling Zhouyang was stunned, stupid? Is Ren Ruyi calling her stupid?
After thinking for a moment, she remembered the last time she called Yang Ying a fool. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly, "You really hold a grudge."
Ren Ruyi turned his back to Ling Zhouyang and raised the corners of his mouth.
When Ling Zhouyang saw this, he didn't say anything more and just lay down.
After Ling Zhouyang fell asleep, Ren Ruyi got up and left.
Now in the whole Siyi Pavilion, only Ling Zhouyang can sleep without any worries.
But thinking about her body that might collapse if the wind blew, Ren Ruyi felt that it was understandable that she could sleep so peacefully.
Ren Ruyi sat alone in the front hall for a long time, saying that he was not worried was a lie. Emperor An didn't know what methods he would use to show Yang Ying's power.
