Su Fengling's disappearance did not calm Su Qi'an down. He didn't care if there were surveillance around him. The reason why he looked around was because he was worried that Su Fengling was under some threat or had something to hide, so he said this.
But now it seems that Su Qi'an is overthinking. Su Fengling now has royal majesty and superiority, but lacks human touch. This feeling makes Su Qi'an feel a little uncomfortable.
He was a little unwilling to give in. He was silent for a while, looked at Su Fengling blankly and said.
"Ninth Princess, is this what you want now?"
Su Fengling was startled, with a cold face and a faint smile, and said casually, "Dongshan Hou, what are you talking about? I don't understand why I don't understand. Please clarify."
"The marriage, marrying Fusang, is this what the Ninth Princess wants?"
"I thought what Marquis Dongshan was talking about, but it turned out to be this. Whether I marry Fusang or not, everything depends on what my father says. As a royal princess, I should share my father's worries."
"If my marriage can bring peace to the southeast coast of Daliang, I am quite willing. Just like the third sister, for the sake of the stability of the countries in the northwest and western regions, I have made peace with Tibet. You can also see the results of these years. Here we are, there’s nothing wrong with getting married.”
Su Fengling's tone was relaxed, as if her marriage and marriage were a very common thing.
But she didn't realize that after she said these words, Su Qian couldn't help clenching her fists hidden in her robe.
Even his face was a bit indifferent. If this matter was as simple as Su Fengling said, the outside world would not make an uproar over this matter.
Why not set up a martial arts arena and just get married? If this was Su Fengling's true thoughts, Su Qi'an would not have made such a fuss at the imperial city banquet.
Without getting along with Su Fengling and talking to each other, Su Qi'an had absolutely no emotion at all about these words, and instead happily accepted them.
But he had gotten along with Su Fengling for a period of time, and he had a certain understanding of her temperament.
Even after she left, he could know Su Fengling's character through Wang Yan.
Even if Su Fengling's personality changed due to certain things after she returned to Kyoto, it would never be like this.
He was so cold, aloof and respectful to Su Qi'an. How was this kind of respect different from that of the second prince Su Zhe.
It was just a fake trick like a smiling tiger. The reason why Su Fengling was like this now was probably because she was under too much pressure from some aspects and had to sacrifice herself.
After thinking about this clearly, Su Qi'an's indifferent expression returned to normal, and she looked at Su Fengling and said.
"Since this is Her Royal Highness the Princess's idea, Su will not interfere much."
"But since Su is a military lord of Daliang, it is my responsibility to safeguard the dignity of Daliang. Now that the Fuso delegation is coming to Beijing, the so-called arena competition will begin in the near future. When the time comes, Su will do his best to protect the dignity of Daliang." Great Liang’s dignity and the royal family’s face.”
"Now that I have seen the Ninth Princess again, and knowing what Her Highness the Princess means, Su understands. What needs to be said has been said. It is getting late, so Su takes leave. Your Highness, please take care."
Su Qi'an then turned around and was about to leave. After he had walked a few steps, Su Fengling's voice suddenly sounded.
….
"Hou Dongshan, wait."
"Your Highness, what else can you do?" Su Qian stopped and turned around, cupping her fists.
Su Fengling's flashing eyes returned to normal, she hesitated for a while, and said softly, "Uh... it's nothing serious. I just want to tell the Marquis to rest early, recuperate, and save face for Great Liang for the future competition in the ring."
"That's natural. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Then Su Qi'an no longer hesitated, and after clasping her fists respectfully, she turned around and left with long strides. Su Fengling looked at his back, a hint of worry flashed in her cold eyes, and she clenched her hands hidden in her skirt.
Just as Su Qian's figure was about to disappear from sight, his voice came slowly.
"Su does it not for anything else, but for Great Liang, for the royal family, and more for herself. With Su here, getting married this time won't be that easy!"
The calm voice reached Su Fengling's ears, and her psychological defenses were suddenly broken.
Su Fengling still looked cold, but there were two lines of tears falling down her cheeks. As time passed, bursts of sobbing could be heard faintly in this small courtyard...
At this time, Su Qi'an, who left the pavilion, did not stay too long in the imperial city. Under the leadership of the chamberlain, he got on the carriage and went straight out of the imperial city.
During this period, Su Qi'an sat in the car without saying a word until they left the imperial city and the carriage was driving on the street. Su Qi'an raised her head as if she was feeling something and said something to the driver.
The galloping carriage quickly turned from an alley on the right without slowing down, just like taking a shortcut. After a while, the carriage came out of the alley and continued towards the Dongshan Marquis Mansion.
But at this time, besides Su Qi'an, there was one more person in the car. This person was none other than Wang Yan, the leader of Team An.
Su Qi'an was not surprised by Wang Yan's appearance. With her skills, there would be no problem even going to the Imperial City.
In addition to Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, Team An led by Wang Yan was also following this imperial city banquet.
The reason for going there was not only to secretly protect Su Qi'an's personal safety, but also to train the members of An's team.
The safest and most dangerous place in the entire Great Liang is the Imperial City of Great Liang.
If you can sneak into the imperial city without being discovered and escape intact, this kind of training will be many times better than ordinary training outside.
Of course, this kind of training is not random. This time she sneaked into the imperial city and only wandered around the periphery of the imperial city. Wang Yan could go further and go to the central part of the imperial city. As for the harem of the imperial city, it was absolutely forbidden.
The harem of the imperial city is heavily guarded and there are many experts. Even Wang Yan does not dare to go deep into it rashly. It is an absolutely forbidden area.
With Su Qi'an being left behind, Wang Yan knew that Su Qi'an was not in danger, so he led Team An to retreat in advance.
The purpose of protection and training has been achieved, but if you continue to stay, you will be in danger.
As Su Qi'an left the city, Wang Yan waited in the alley for a long time. As the carriage passed by, she naturally came in smoothly.
Looking at Wang Yan sitting next to her, Su Qian said with a smile, "Miss Wang Yan, why don't you go meet the Ninth Princess? With your skills, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
Su Qi'an's words were met with a blank stare from Wang Yan, and she curled her lips.
….
"Didn't you already meet me? What's the point of me going? Seeing you two acting awkwardly? I'm going to make you mad to death."
Su Qi'an was startled by Wang Yan's words, and then realized that Wang Yan had basically listened to the conversation between him and Su Fengling.
Before he could speak, Wang Yan seemed to start talking, and said very dissatisfied, "I really don't understand you. One is a military lord of Daliang, and the other is a princess of Daliang. What's wrong with being together? Isn't it very suitable? ?”
"Why do you have to be blinded by some worldly things? No wonder the Great Liang royal family is declining day by day. I think there are so many broken rules. What nonsense can you divorce your wife before you can marry a wife and give her a status? In the capital of Great Liang, there are many powerful families. The main wife at home, outside What's the use of this title if you spend all your time drinking and playing music every day?"
"You, Su Qian, are not a libertine, so what if you marry Fengling? It's better than marrying those rubbish Fusang people."
"I also don't understand. You, Su Qian, don't have the temperament of a mother-in-law. You are decisive, strong and unruly, brave and resourceful. How can you be so lazy in relationships, like a rotten and sour scholar."
Su Qi'an did not refute Wang Yan's chatter, but listened silently.
As time passed, Wang Yan had no intention of stopping and continued to output. After about half a stick of incense, Su Qi'an raised his head and said to Wang Yan.
"Well, Miss Wang Yan is right. Some things really shouldn't be like this. I think I know what I should do. Don't worry, this time, whether for me or for the Ninth Princess, it will finally come to an end. "
Hearing this, Wang Yan was startled and stopped talking. He looked at Su Qi'an.
At this time, Su Qi'an gave him an inexplicable feeling, not confident or arrogant, but as if he had made some kind of determination.
Seeing his expression, Wang Yan nodded, glanced at the familiar street outside the car, and said.
"Now that you have made up your mind, I hope you can really do it. Some people, once they miss something, will only regret it when they react."
"Again, instead of marrying those rubbish Fusang people, just break the pot and throw it away. Anyway, this is not the first time you, Su Qian, have done something like this. Don't let me down."
The carriage flew quickly, and after a while, the carriage arrived at the Dongshan Marquis Mansion, and inside the carriage, Wang Yan's figure had long since disappeared.
Su Qi'an was used to Wang Yan coming and going without a trace. Wang Yan's appearance this time really opened his eyes.
He is indeed a bit like a mother-in-law when it comes to handling certain things. Before, the Ninth Princess took on the pressure for him. This time, it was his turn to step in...
Su Qian's return home naturally caused a lot of excitement.
Xie Cang was pacing back and forth in the mansion waiting. Seeing Su Qi'an's safe return, he finally let go of his hanging heart.
He quickly stepped forward, gave Su Qi'an a bear hug, and greeted him with greetings.
Su Qi'an smiled and nodded, explaining to him as he walked...
As the ministers returned to their residences, what happened at the imperial banquet that night once again, unsurprisingly, swept through the entire Kyoto city like the wind.
Whether it was Su Qi'an's assassination on the outskirts of the city, or his later carrying the body into the palace and having a grand banquet in the imperial city, or finally Prince Fusang's confession, Su Xuanyong finally spoke his mind and ended the matter.
Piece by piece, it sounds like a dream.
The people in the city were shocked not only by the major events that happened one after another, but also by the fact that behind every major event, there was a name, Dongshan Hou Su Qi'an.
He was the party involved in every matter, and as the protagonist, he scolded and made a fuss, which made Prince Fuso and the ministers have to bow their heads.
It can be said that after the Imperial City Banquet, his already illustrious reputation has really reached the point where no one knows about it.
