After hearing what Qing Zhu said, Feng Yunshu quickly understood why he wanted to bid farewell to her. "So you're going to look for A Yun, right?"
Qing Zhu nodded with a smile. As if thinking of something, his eyes grew even brighter, as if twinkling with a brilliant light, and the smile on his lips became even more radiant.
It was obvious to anyone that Qing Zhu was in a very good mood at the moment, extremely happy.
Seeing him so happy, a warm feeling welled up in Feng Yunshu's heart. She was happy for him, but somehow her nose felt a bit sour.
Perhaps it was because she was a bit reluctant to part...
Xiaoling in her arms also had slightly red - rimmed eyes. She sniffed and looked at Qing Zhu in a muffled voice, "Qing Zhu, are you really leaving?"
Qing Zhu smiled and ruffled Xiaoling's head as he usually did. "Yes. The lifespan of demons is longer than that of mortals. In this long, long life, only by seeking the goal one has always been persistent about can one avoid boredom..."
Xiaoling nodded tearfully. Her chubby paw covered the back of Qing Zhu's hand. Somehow, the master and the pet had completely regarded Qing Zhu as an elder brother.
Along the way, he had taken good care of everyone. Now that he suddenly said he was leaving, both Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling, and even Ziyuan, felt a bit reluctant in their hearts.
But despite the reluctance, knowing that A Yun had been reincarnated, Feng Yunshu was really happy for Qing Zhu.
"Qing Zhu, it's been a long time since you've been this happy. Now that A Yun has been reincarnated, go and find her quickly! This time, you must watch over her and protect her well... When you two get married, don't forget to send us an invitation. I must go and have a glass of wedding wine!"
Qing Zhu suddenly blushed a bit, and his smile grew even wider.
"I haven't even found her yet. Aren't you all jumping the gun a bit?"
"Not at all. Anyway, it's just a matter of time. Hehe, Qing Zhu, you're even shy..."
Under Feng Yunshu's teasing, the somewhat low - key and reluctant mood of everyone just now dissipated a bit, replaced by a pleasant atmosphere.
Qing Zhu was extremely eager to find A Yun, and Feng Yunshu naturally didn't want to keep him for long. After several confirmations that his wounds had basically healed and there was no problem, it was time for the real farewell.
Feng Yunshu sent him to the exit of the military camp. She originally wanted to send him a bit further, but Qing Zhu knew that he had to leave in the end. Even if she sent him further, it would only make them feel more reluctant. So it was better to stop here.
Helan Yanting, Kong Ze and others also came to see him off. Feng Yunshu originally wanted to give Qing Zhu a farewell hug, but just as she raised her hand, Helan Yanting beside her mercilessly slapped it down.
Qing Zhu looked at them with a smile, then clasped his fists and bowed slightly. "We've traveled this journey together. May we meet again if fate allows, everyone."
Feng Yunshu and the others watched Qing Zhu leave. She said reluctantly again, "Qing Zhu, if you encounter any troubles you can't solve in the future, come back and find us at any time!"
Qing Zhu didn't turn around. He just nodded slightly with his back to everyone. In the blink of an eye, he was out of sight.
Helan Yanting noticed Feng Yunshu's loss and took her hand. "If you get any sadder, I'm really going to be jealous."
Feng Yunshu was immediately amused. She pursed her lips and glared at him. "Your Highness, weren't you a jealous demon in your previous life? I can smell the sourness you're exuding from miles away..."
Not long after seeing Qing Zhu off, Kong Ze saw that there was nothing for him to do here for the time being. He soon thought of Dongfang Mengling in the Dan Kingdom. For some reason, his heart started to feel uneasy.
"Little junior sister, since the long - hawk is not Zhushan, and I can see that he really has no ill intentions, there should be no major problems on your side. I still have some things to deal with in the Dan Kingdom, so I'll go back first."
Feng Yunshu originally wanted to show him around here because she also had to go back to the Dan Kingdom. "Third senior brother, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to go back? I originally wanted to go back with you."
"You're also going back to the Dan Kingdom? Do you know that the prime minister's mansion held a funeral for you not long ago and announced to the outside world that they had found your body, saying that you were kidnapped and killed by mountain bandits on the way..."
Feng Yunshu was stunned for a moment when she heard this. After coming back to her senses, she twitched the corner of her mouth speechlessly. "Well, this does seem like something they would do. My so - called father and that vicious stepmother of mine probably wish I would die outside."
Kong Ze noticed that Feng Yunshu's emotions seemed to be fluctuating. Just as he was about to comfort her, Feng Yunshu continued.
"It doesn't matter. They never regarded me as family, and I never regarded them as family either. They think I'm dead? Fine. I don't need the identity of the eldest daughter of the Feng family for a long time. As the saying goes, a married daughter is like spilled water. Now I'm just the Princess of Helan."
Thinking of the things the people in the prime minister's mansion had done, as well as the vicious methods of the emperor of the Dan Kingdom and that Concubine Mu, Feng Yunshu's face gradually turned cold, and rare coldness and hostility showed in her eyes.
"They really think this immortal is a soft persimmon to be kneaded, huh. As the Princess of Helan, now the world thinks that my prince has committed the crime of treason and deserves to be killed. I'm going back to seek justice for my prince!"
Kong Ze patted Feng Yunshu on the shoulder with a look of relief. "Good, good. It seems that our little junior sister, who used to be only naughty and mischievous, has really grown up and become so responsible and brave. I'm really relieved."
Feng Yunshu slapped his hand away angrily. "What do you mean 'only naughty and mischievous'? I've always been very responsible and brave, okay..."
"Yes, yes, yes, always have been!" Kong Ze didn't want to argue with her anymore. "Your third senior brother really has something urgent to deal with, so I won't wait for you to go back together. But if you encounter any evil spirits after you go back, just send me a message at any time. As I said, your third senior brother will always be your backup."
Feng Yunshu was touched in her heart. She pushed him away with a look of disgust on her face. "Alright, alright, hurry up and go. It's as if I'm eager to keep you... Just wait. This immortal will surely go back in a brand - new queen's appearance! I'll make those clowns suffer!"
Kong Ze was really in a hurry. Feng Yunshu didn't expect that he would really leave as soon as he said so. He was really like someone who waved his sleeves without taking a single cloud.
"Xiaoling, what do you think is so urgent for third senior brother? It's the first time I've seen him in such a hurry, and he won't say a single extra word."
Xiaoling's big eyes rolled around, and then she said, "Master, I think this matter is probably related to that Fifth Princess..."
"Hmm? Coincidentally, you really are worthy of being my spiritual pet. You and I think alike. I was just about to say that he's in such a hurry. Could it be that he's going to deal with something about the Fifth Princess..."
Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling, the master and servant, high - fived. Soon they had a new doubt. "But what could be the problem with the Fifth Princess? Could it be that because the emperor is about to die, the Fifth Princess is also going to have trouble?"
...
While Feng Yunshu and Xiaoling were pondering over the matter between Kong Ze and the Fifth Princess, Helan Yanting quickly and resolutely dealt with a matter.
General Li had always refused to surrender to the Yuan Kingdom. However, after Helan Yanting met with him in person, no one knew what the two of them had said. Anyway, when Helan Yanting walked out of the tent, General Li made a decision. He was willing to help the Yuan Kingdom persuade the soldiers of the Dan Kingdom to lay down their arms and surrender.
