After Rebirth, She Becomes the Revenge Queen-Chapter 635 - 386 I Care About My Family_2

"Packing up and then couldn’t come out?"

"And then we just chatted a bit."

"Still pretending?" Su Xinger snorted, "I can already smell the scent of bruise ointment on you."

Fu Zhen’s face turned crimson. She quietly glanced at the table by the beaded curtain and lowered her voice: "You know, if you keep shouting here, are you trying to let everyone know I indulged in illicit pleasures in broad daylight?"

Su Xinger giggled and leaned her head over: "I just want to know, did you use all those tricks you read in those books back then?"

Fu Zhen gave her a light slap on the arm.

Took a small sip of tea, her mouth involuntarily curled up again, and she spoke slowly: "Why rush? We’ll eventually try each and every one."

Su Xinger silently gave her a thumbs up, then sat up properly.

"What are you two talking about?" Mrs. Pei had returned. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The two of them restored their dignified expressions and started chatting about family matters with Mrs. Pei.

They were just discussing how Su Xinger’s mother-in-law, Mrs. Feng, planned to stay at Baihe Temple with Mrs. Cao, to recite scriptures and pray for blessings, when they overheard Cheng Chili’s raised voice from the next table:

"Why? There are plenty of people in the palace to handle such matters, why do you have to go?"

Fu Zhen turned her head, only to see that everyone’s eyes were focused on Yang Yi.

And after listening to Cheng Chili, Yang Yi said: "This time, thanks to Dongzi’s significant role, we were able to swiftly and successfully capture Lian Yang and the ten thousand rebels.

"Although the matter started because of them, if those ten thousand rebels succeeded, Dongzi would suffer the most. But in the end, Jin Xu gave our Great Zhou immense trust.

"Or rather, it’s me, Yang Yi, who he trusts greatly.

"During our encirclement of Wu Chengping and his group, Jin Xu never showed up. Instead, he issued orders through his generals to contact me. I suspect something happened to him.

"Sure enough, after that battle, I asked Dongzi’s generals and they said Jin Xu had been ill for a month or two.

"I have to go check on him. Of course, I’ll also take the tiger talisman we seized from Wu Chengping and return it to Jin Xu."

Everyone exchanged looks.

Fu Zhen momentarily forgot to set her chopsticks down.

Now the capital city is abuzz with rumors about the imminent extinction of imperial power within the palace, and since foreign matters are settled, it is indeed time to stabilize internally. Yet, Yang Yi is now talking about going to Dongzi, so what will happen in the capital?

The banquet hall fell into brief silence.

Pei Yu, being accustomed to turbulent situations, quickly picked up the conversation. "Those two tiger talismans belong to Dongzi and should rightfully be returned to Jin Xu properly.

"But since this battle involved the Great Zhou, Dayue, and Dongzi collectively, it’s an issue concerning the three nations.

"The matter should be carefully discussed by the court on what to do and how to return it.

"This is also a good opportunity since our ties with Dongzi have been severed before. By returning the tiger talisman, we can further establish a relationship.

"Now our three sides are already weary of war. If we can ensure peace for twenty to thirty years, it would be a fortune."

Liang Chen chimed in: "Uncle Pei makes a lot of sense, there’s no rush for this. With General Gao handling the affairs at the Northwest, coordinating with Dongzi, I imagine Jin Xu wouldn’t hurry either. After all, keeping their tiger talisman doesn’t benefit us."

Yang Yi remained silent, casually swirling the wine cup in his hand.

Liang Zhi then raised his cup to ease the mood: "You just returned from the Northwest, even if you want to go, shouldn’t you rest well first?

"Come, let’s drink this cup first. Today we won’t leave until we’re drunk. If the Prince has some free time in the coming days, why don’t a few of us accompany him to the Capital Camp for some horse riding and archery practice?"

Yang Yi clinked glasses with him and then said: "Just call me Yang Yi. I’m indebted to all of you for thinking highly of me, and calling me sir is fine.

"The title Prince isn’t necessary. I’m just a common man, and bearing that title feels awkward. If you all don’t mind, we could even talk about seniority."

Liang Zhi couldn’t hold back and said, "As long as you’re willing, you can become a rightful Prince at any time."

Yang Yi smiled and shook his head, lowering the cup. "Such a beautiful evening, why not drink freely and enjoy?

"Talking about national affairs all the time do get tedious. I’m not very familiar with this capital city. Do you have some delicious food, fun places, or any fascinating stories? Why not bring them to the table to share?..."

Fu Zhen withdrew her gaze, her brow furrowing deeply.
