Chapter 221 Let Him Be a Bodyguard
"That woman is not right. I seriously suspect that she sent the baby out of the palace when I heard it crying that day! I informed the Crown Prince of this matter, but that Liu Shi held a grudge and turned the tables, accusing me of deliberately sowing discord and looking for an opportunity to throw dirty water on me! She also said that I disregarded our brotherhood and tried to make a move on her! Bah!"
Yuan Qing snorted and spat.
"Is it because of this that Uncle Yuan came to Taohua Temple to become a monk? Also, if Wanyan Tuda is really my father, then why did he bring Liu back and why did she get pregnant?"
This was what Fang Qingqing was most concerned about. After all, on the bamboo slips he left for his mother, it was clearly written in the language of the Desert Country that he would come back to look for his mother in two days.
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Her mother didn't speak the language of the Desert Nation. With her wedding date approaching, she was worried about the consequences if someone discovered her, so she left in a hurry after waking up. Could it be an imposter?
"The eldest prince said that he must have been drugged and had no choice but to do that. When he woke up, he was eager to find us, so he had to leave before the lady woke up. He said that a man should shoulder a man's responsibilities. Liu said that she did have the bamboo slips and jade pendant, but they were not kept properly and she was afraid that they were stolen..."
"Haha, she's obviously lying. Didn't the Crown Prince notice that?"
"The eldest prince is solely responsible. After all, if that girl hadn't helped him with the antidote, he would have died of the poison long ago. Furthermore, she's pregnant. This is the only way it can be..."
"Forget it, forget it. It's better for us outsiders not to interfere in the affairs of the Wanyan family. It's getting late, Qing'er, don't overwork yourself. It's better to go back and rest early..."
Fang Yun's face was filled with embarrassment. She had never imagined someone would use the events of the past to manipulate her into becoming the princess of the Great Desert Kingdom. This man seemed like a man of integrity and loyalty, but it was a pity he had been tricked by a scheming woman. He feared the children she bore wouldn't be his.
This kind of person is very scary. Once he knows the existence of Qing'er and Xin'er, he will do anything to maintain his status and future.
This is an extraordinary period, and we must not hurt Qing'er and Xin'er.
After Fang Yun, Xin'er and others left, Yuan Qing raised his head and smiled foolishly at Fang Qingqing from time to time.
"They say like nature, like nature, like nature, like nature, and like nature, like mice, that they are born to dig holes. It's absolutely true! That whole bunch of children are just playboys who only know how to eat, drink and have fun. They are definitely not the offspring of the eldest prince! Look at how capable the eldest lady and Xin'er are. This is what a princess and a prince are really like! If the prince knew he had such outstanding children, he would be so ecstatic!"
But after the joy came melancholy. The prince had long lost interest in participating in politics because of his leg disease. Liu's two children were gentlemen in front of people but bullies behind their backs. They did many things to bully boys and girls. The prince also grew gray hair early because of these two children.
Even Fang Yun does not agree with Qing'er and Xin'er returning to their ancestral home. What should be done about this matter?
Fang Qingqing's thoughts were completely different from Fang Yun's. Now that they had news of their father, they should at least recognize him. He had recognized the wrong person back then, so it was time to set things right and restore the truth.
However, this matter cannot be rushed, as it concerns the identities of Liu and her two children. Just as the mother is worried, if Liu knows the truth, if she is really as Yuan Zhen said, she will definitely take action.
Well! This relationship hasn't even been acknowledged yet, and there are already so many troubles.
"Uncle Yuan, I'm having trouble moving right now, and my mother is worried, so let's put the meeting with my father on hold for now. Once we've dealt with the Ryukyu Gang and other matters, and the child is born safely, I'll convince my mother and find a way to reunite with my father..."
"This Ryukyu Gang is determined to kill me, and it has also implicated my mother and Xin'er. It's really a headache..."
Fang Qingqing looked depressed, gently stroking her bulging belly with her hands, and quickly observing Yuan Qing's expression out of the corner of her eyes.
Yuan Qing was the most important connection she could have with him. Having served as the head monk for many years, he was accustomed to a life of freedom and unfettered freedom. He possessed remarkable achievements, and now that Shang Wu had gone off to battle with Li Zhenting, she was in need of a capable bodyguard. Naturally, she had to find a way to make Yuan Qing willingly follow her.
"Dare! Whoever dares to hurt the young lady, I, Yuan Qing, will be the first to not forgive him!"
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to close this inn tomorrow. Wherever the young lady is, I'll be there! But there's one condition: the young lady must provide me with alcohol!"
Yuan Qing glared and shouted, his generous personality was really similar to Shang Wu.
"Haha, Uncle Yuan is really good at joking. Even without considering Qing'er's background, Qing'er and Uncle Yuan are old acquaintances. It was Uncle Yuan's unwavering help that allowed us to capture Monk Yuan Zhen. Even now, I still haven't properly thanked Uncle Yuan..."
Hearing Yuan Zhen's proactive statement, Fang Qingqing's eyes curved into moons of joy. He was a martial arts expert, proficient in formations, and a loyal man. Even after wandering for so many years, he would rather suffer alone than change his master. For this reason alone, he deserved her respect as an elder!
Not only does she have to provide Yuan Qing with wine, but she also has to provide him with monthly salary!
The next day, the group returned to Jixiang Garden and immediately arranged a place for Yuanqing to stay. After the room was properly arranged, they also hired a tailor to make Yuanqing several sets of clothes with the finest fabrics. According to Yuanqing, he changed everything from head to toe, inside and out!
Yuan Qing said that apart from the eldest prince, Wanyan Tuda treated him like this, the only other person was the eldest daughter!
Then you must repay me well!
Over ten days, Yuan Qing single-handedly set up traps outside Ruyi and Jixiang Gardens. Yuan Qing was truly a genius; even the two stone lions at the gate were equipped with traps. If a sneak attack was imminent, all they had to do was touch the traps on the lions' heads, and blades would spit out of their mouths, taking their lives by surprise.
If Yuan Qing could be recruited into the Thunder Army, it would be a great help to Li Zhenting!
Fang Qingqing was chewing on a hot roasted sweet potato, her mind full of random thoughts. She looked up at the heavy snow falling outside and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
It has been more than a month since Li Zhenting set out on the expedition. If the journey goes smoothly, they should have arrived at the Xiao Kingdom safely.
Xuan Qingshan had already given Shang Wu the mask of Yang Xiao, which he had drawn based on the photo she had. Her biggest worry was that Yang Xiao was cunning and suspicious, and Shang Wu had chosen to send someone with no brains. Would he be discovered if he entered the Mingye Palace as Yang Xiao?
She suddenly shuddered, stood up hurriedly, and called Tong'er to prepare the car quickly so that they could rush to the palace.
She suddenly thought of something. She must find a way to find out the secret of Yang Xiao. Sun Lanxin has been with him for so many years, so she should know his living habits and secrets best!
Without further ado, let’s set off now!
