Huan Ci looked at his still imperfect face in the mirror unhappily, wishing he could peel off Wanyan Sheng's skin and cramp it up himself.
Those Yong people suffered heavy casualties, and Wanyan Sheng was also handed over to Fu Shen by Hu Yanli.
Zong Zhengyuan chose to settle the matter and only hold those responsible for the trouble accountable. As for the other Yong people, they were recalled to the Yong Kingdom by their emperor.
The first thing that did not accept the outcome of this incident was the people. As a reasonable party, Zong Zhengyuan's decision was really puzzling to them, but their protests were of no avail.
Huan Yuan, who had just defeated the Yong army, was furious, but now the army needed to rest. A slight mistake might cause another war, so he had to swallow his anger.
He wrote a letter to Huan Ci, asking her to be more careful in the future. Now the reply is on the way, but he doesn't know it yet.
Here, Huan Ci carefully applied ointment on his face, scolding all eighteen generations of Zong Zhengyuan's ancestors in his heart.
If he hadn't lured the wolf into the house, this kind of thing would never have happened.
"Princess, we will set off immediately." The maid outside the door informed.
After sighing almost inaudibly, Huan Ci gently covered the dowry.
After this happened, all the officials in Puzhou did not dare to keep them any longer. Her father also advised her to return to Beijing to marry Zong Zhengche as soon as possible and not to rush to see him.
Now that he is about to go back, Huan Ci is a little disappointed. After being rescued, she has been recuperating from her injuries and has never seen Fu Shen again. I heard that his injury was very serious. Thanks to her golden sore medicine, otherwise his life would not have been saved.
Now that I'm back, the plan will continue. What happened that day is just a dream.
Huan Ci smiled appropriately in the mirror, then stood up and opened the door.
"Pack your things and leave." She said to the maid outside the door.
But after a stick of incense, the two of them came out from the side door of the Governor's Mansion one after another.
Zong Zhengtang had already boarded the carriage, and Fu Shen was standing beside the carriage talking to her through the curtain.
After she came back that day, she didn't look happy. Huan Ci thought she was a little irritated by killing someone, so he wanted to enlighten her. But every time he talked to her, she always smiled brightly.
, no abnormalities can be seen at all.
Fu Shen saw her first and looked at her from a distance.
For some reason, Huan Ci felt guilty and hurriedly lowered his eyes and walked towards the carriage behind him.
"Sister Huan." Zong Zhengtang suddenly raised the curtain and called her.
Everyone was looking at her, so Huan Ci had no choice but to step forward.
"What's wrong?" she asked, holding up her skirt.
"This is for you, you can eat it on the way." Zong Zhengtang handed a box of things from the car, and the person next to him quickly took it and handed it to her.
Huan Ci was a little surprised, what good thing was worthy of her own trip.
"Thank you very much."
She thanked her and turned to leave, but the man behind her suddenly spoke.
"Thanks to the princess's medicine, Fu Mou saved his life. I am really grateful."
"No need." Huan Ci turned around and smiled at him, but his eyes were a little evasive.
"Thank you for your hospitality these days." Zong Zhengtang stuck his head out and said.
Huan Ci nodded aside as if pounding garlic.
Fu Shen looked at her dark head meaningfully and said lightly: "I guess I won't be able to return to Beijing. I wish you congratulations on your wedding in advance."
Huan Ci's smile froze on her face, but she came back to her senses immediately and thanked her unnaturally.
"Although you can't come, the gifts will still be delivered." She joked with a corner of her lips.
"Don't worry." The man said softly.
It's a pity that Huan Ci didn't dare to look at him and happened to miss his intriguing expression.
"Then let's go first." Huan Ci raised his head and smiled at him. When he nodded, he turned around and headed for the carriage behind.
The team marched slowly, and soon they were several feet away.
Fu Shen watched the carriage going further and further away, his eyes becoming deeper and deeper.
"You really surprised me." A man from behind suddenly said.
Fu Shen ignored these words and walked back directly.
Zong Zhenglu, who was ignored by him, was not angry at all. He lowered his head and smiled mockingly, and followed him into the palace.
"You shouldn't come out." Fu Shen walked in front and said to the man behind him.
"What are you afraid of?" Zong Zhenglu's smile became even more arrogant.
Fu Shen tilted his head and looked sideways: "As long as you're not afraid."
"Of course I'm not afraid. So what if Zong Zhengche knows that I'm here? I think he has too much time to take care of himself. But you, who was so seriously injured, actually had to send her off in person. It's really interesting."
"Nothing compared to His Highness."
Zong Zhenglu's expression finally changed, and he walked past him to another place with a cold face.

After returning to Yingdu, Huan Ci was taken to the Queen Mother's Palace.
After being nursed for more than half a month, her injuries had already recovered.
These days, she had to get up early every day to learn the rules. That was all. What made her even more worried was that she had to have meals with the Queen Mother every day.
Fortunately, Zong Zhengtang also moved here for a short stay within two days, giving her a companion with whom she could laugh and play.
On this day, Huan Ci went to learn the rules for half the morning as usual, and then went to the Queen Mother's palace for lunch.
However, as soon as she entered the main room, she saw Zong Zhengtang's red and swollen eyes and the Queen Mother's angry and worried expression.
Without Zong Zhengtang joking around, the meal took an extremely long time.
After finally getting rid of the food, Huan Ci thought he could finally go back, but the Queen Mother suddenly spoke.
"Girl Huan, please stay. I have something to say to you."
Huan Ci turned to look at Zong Zhengtang and saw her pause for a moment, then quickly walked out.
After following the Queen Mother to the East Room, all the eunuchs and maids in the room retreated.
Huan Ci was a little surprised for a moment and looked at the Queen Mother in confusion.
The Queen Mother sighed deeply and said: "Tang'er has reached the age of marriage. I helped her find a good marriage, but she was unwilling. As a mother, I don't know what to do?"
I don't know why the Queen Mother told her this. Huan Ci frowned and asked, "I wonder which company you are talking about?"
"It's either another family, or Su Xiang's eldest son, my great-nephew."
Huan Ci understood.
Presumably, if she had not appeared, the Queen Mother had originally planned to let Zong Zhengche marry Su Wanling. Su Xiang was a high-ranking official, so it was reasonable for Zong Zhengche to want to bring him into the gang. However, when she came, they wanted to bring both parties together. Now she and Zong Zhengche
After joining forces, they refused to give up on Su Xiang, so naturally they decided to target Zong Zhengtang.
But Zong Zhengtang was interested in Fu Shen, and anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see it.
Huan Ci had long known that it would be difficult for her to do this. Not to mention the Queen Mother's disapproval, even Zong Zhengyuan would definitely jump out and object.
