Xiu'er pouted and looked at Tang Zhuyun.
--Should we tell the prince or not?
Tang Zhuyun responded with her eyes: I don't know about Phuket either!
She had originally planned to speak to the Prince of Jin slowly, but when she thought about what the Prince of Jin had just witnessed, she dared not do it.
People in ancient times valued blood ties more than people today, just like the Prince of Jin who never met his birth mother but searched for her relentlessly.
He knew Zhou Xu was his sister, and even if they were only related by blood, he couldn't remain indifferent.
It's even less likely that he would say, "Wu Zhenhai had good intentions."
Not chopping up Wu Zhenhai is a sign that he's in a good mood today.
Tang Zhuyun felt that this "telling slowly" might take the slow, persistent kind of time.
Anyway, she hasn't figured out how to say it yet.
Xiu'er said, "So, Wu Zhenhai and Zhou Xu's marriage is going to happen?"
Prince of Jin said, "That should be the case. If there's nothing else, A-Yun, you should rest well. I'm going to the outer study for a meal; I still have official business to attend to."
Tang Zhuyun nodded.
After he left, Xiu'er immediately asked Tang Zhuyun, "Your Majesty, is it too late to stop the marriage?"
It's too late.
It was precisely because she was keenly aware of this that she did not immediately tell the Prince of Jin.
This matter needs to be discussed further.
Xiu'er stomped her feet, causing her Zidu to tremble, which made Tang Zhuyun's heart tremble as well.
"What should we do? She's still the prince's sister; she can't betray us to the enemy!"
It would be more like trying to lure the enemy here.
But now, he certainly wouldn't be willing to use his younger sister as bait.
Family members are different; no one would be willing to part with them.
Tang Zhuyun said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, I have an idea."
"What?" Xiu'er exclaimed anxiously, "Anyway, Wu Zhenhai is no good. Putting everything else aside, what he did today was simply inhuman."
That's not liking, that's wanting to possess.
Pooh!
Tang Zhuyun nodded. "I also think Wu Zhenhai is not good enough."
Putting everything else aside, just ruining someone's reputation by leading them to do this in the wilderness—is that even human?
The two were not equals at all; how much of his affection was driven by personal desire?
Anyway, Tang Zhuyun didn't see any respect in him.
"What should we do then?"
We're on the same side, so we have to figure out a way.
Different perspectives lead to different feelings.
Xiu'er can think about now is how she, a little girl, managed to get to where she is today, with such a mother who was a burden to her.
Help!
"Concubine Yu is Zhou Yushan's aunt, and Zhou Xu is Zhou Yushan's daughter. Unless Your Highness can completely crush the Zhou Family, there's no reason to bring them out."
Xiu'er muttered, "It's really hard to say who's stepping on whom right now."
Even a powerful prince like him has to give way to the local bully.
Absolute domination is not achieved overnight.
"So, let's figure out a way to change their identities first."
"Change your status? You mean acknowledge relatives? But how do you do that?"
Isn't this like giving melons to the whole world?
Especially now, the Prince of Jin is still in the eye of the storm.
He doesn't have absolute power to suppress all of this.
It is for this reason that Linlin has never acknowledged her ancestors.
It's truly tragic to think about the Prince of Jin; he couldn't acknowledge his son, and now he can't even acknowledge his mother.
Tang Zhuyun said, "Let's put the family reunion on hold for now, but we need to bring the person back."
Her eyes were dark and bright, and she was determined; she had clearly made up her mind.
Xiu'er said anxiously, "Please tell me quickly, you're driving me crazy!"
"Feigning death," Tang Zhuyun uttered softly.
"Oh, that's a great idea!" Xiu'er clapped her hands. "We can send them away without anyone noticing."
"Why send them away?" Tang Zhuyun picked up her teacup and took a small sip.
Xiu'er was stunned. "Stay here and cause trouble for the Zhou Family? Fine, go ahead and hit them!"
Anyway, we were only one step away from breaking through the barrier, and now that the truth is out, let's see who's really what.
Tang Zhuyun added, "Fighting would be pointless; after all, it's likely that our own people will suffer losses."
The military power in the Northwest will eventually be returned to the Prince of Jin.
Xiu'er was bewildered.
The Zhou Family members aren't blind!
Concubine Yu is alright; she could probably stay in the courtyard for the rest of her life without any problems.
But Zhou Xu couldn't just stay hidden forever, could she?
"Just change the face." Tang Zhuyun said calmly.
Since Ren Yingying arrived, she's discovered there are so many places where she'll need to use her!
My best friend sent me equipment and even sent herself to help me fight alongside her.
Qu Nian's condition has not improved, while Ren Yingying is living a life of pleasure in the capital, surrounded by beautiful women.
I received a letter from her the day before yesterday, saying that Qu Hua hadn't left and was challenging her to a duel.
To appease Qu Hua, Ren Yingying found a gemstone in the storeroom, set it into a dog tag, and put it on Dog Meat Rou.
You should know that there were two rubies; the other one was on Qu Hua's hairpin.
In a fit of anger, Qu Hua pulled out the hairpin and threw it at Ren Yingying's feet.
So Ren Yingying, that spineless woman, got a hairpin for free and proudly showed it off to Tang Zhuyun.
The rivalry between the sisters-in-law is quite a spectacle at the Prince of Min's Residence in the capital.
Ren Yingying's troubles probably all stemmed from Dog Meat.
For example, Dog Meat was never interested in Madam Qin's Fluffball; Dog Meat's stance was unclear, and he even wanted to help Qu Hua... and so on.
In short, aside from eating, drinking, having fun, and Dog Meat, she had no other problems.
Both were time travelers, but he was so exhausted from the journey that he started losing his hair; Ren Yingying, on the other hand, seemed to be on vacation.
Where is justice?!
Now, she decided to find something for Ren Yingying to do to balance things out!
Xiu'er's eyes widened. "You mean, the Crown Prince's wife can not only remove scars, but also change people's faces?"
"Sure."
This is 22nd-century technology; it's very reliable.
Although Ren Yingying is unreliable, her aesthetic sense is definitely on point.
The fact that she fantasizes about drawing so many handsome men every day is actually part of her professional ethics.
"Then tell her not to change Song Jingyang!"
She's not used to sleeping with other men.
Even changing your face won't work.
She liked Song Jingyang just the way he was.
Tang Zhuyun: "... Speaking of Concubine Yu and Zhou Xu! We'll send them to the capital for a trip, and then they'll come back unrecognizable."
After her initial shock, Xiu'er thought for a moment and said seriously, "Zhou Xu is fine. She can act; she can imitate anything perfectly."
The only reason I've survived this long is because of my acting skills.
Tang Zhuyun chimed in, "Concubine Yu might be a little less capable, but she rarely goes out, so there's no need to worry."
"This idea is absolutely brilliant!" Xiu'er exclaimed. "As expected of Your Majesty!"
Let Wu Zhenhai eat shit!
Tang Zhuyun rested her chin on her hand and said, "I don't have to worry about any of that..."
"My biggest worry is how to tell the prince!"
Because I care too much.
"Take your time thinking," Xiu'er said with a sly smile, "I'm going out for a bit."
"Do what?"
"Just curious and asking around."
"What?"
