A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 410: Hong Hua's Advice to Yan Zong

"What? Madam Honghua left with the prince's carriage?"

It was not until after dinner that Si Yao went to see Zeng Si for a follow-up visit. Later, she accompanied Yan Yu for a walk in the pavilion on the lake and learned from her that Madam Honghua had left Mucheng with Prince Zong. She was immediately shocked.

"Sister said she had to go out and find a way to find Mo Sang, but right now the people from Shadow Clan must still be lurking nearby to monitor the medicine shop. The only way now is to use the help of the prince as a cover to get out quietly." Xuan Yu, who was sitting in the pavilion, nodded to Si Yao and sighed with a frown.

"That's a good idea." Si Yao said calmly, then turned around and looked at the lake thoughtfully.

Based on her understanding of the prince, he would definitely not help the two sisters. She didn't know how Madam Honghua convinced the prince. Thinking of this, Si Yao's cold eyes widened and she became worried: Could it be that Madam Honghua also drugged the prince? If she acted like this, she might even offend the prince!

"It's extremely dangerous to go to the desert to look for rare flowers. My sister said she has to find help first." At this time, Si Yao had her back to her. Xuan Yu naturally didn't see the sadness on her face. She just sighed worriedly again.

Others may not know, but she knows that her sister has always been a loner and stubborn. Even though she has worked hard in Southern Xinjiang for many years, she has offended far more people than friends. Moreover, from her understanding, her sister's so-called friends are just for profit, and they will definitely not go to the desert to work for her for no reason. She said that she was looking for help, probably just to comfort her and not want her to worry.

"It would be good if she could find help. After all, finding flowers in the desert is not an easy task." Si Yao was silent for a long time before she responded to Yan Yu's words. However, she felt uneasy as soon as she finished speaking. Would Madam Honghua ask the prince for help in her name again?

But then he thought again that he was worrying too much. No matter how absurd and unruly Madam Honghua was, she would never ask this of the Prince of Zong. Besides, the Prince of Zong was not someone who could be easily fooled.

At dusk, the sun had already set, and the black carriage was still galloping south on the road. This time, Yan Zong only allowed Yu Cheng and Xiao Bai to follow him back to Xuancheng, and the rest of the secret guards stayed in the medicine store to protect him secretly.

"We have left Mucheng. When will you get off the bus?" Yan Zongzhong couldn't help but open his cold eyes and glanced at Honghua who was looking out the window vigilantly, and asked in a low voice.

"No rush. The prince is going to Xuancheng, and it's just on the way for me to go to Southern Xinjiang." Honghua turned around, blinked at Yan Zong and said with a smile.

But the chill emanating from Yan Zong's body immediately made her feel a chill on her back, and the seductive smile on her face immediately disappeared.

It is true that there is always someone who can conquer you. Honghua is unrestrained and passionate, but when she meets Yan Zong, who is as cold as an iceberg, she is instantly cooled down.

"Are you from southern Xinjiang?" Yan Zong once again glared coldly at Honghua, who was dressed in black, and questioned.

"Prince Zong, you misheard. I said I was going to Southern Xinjiang, but I didn't say I was from Southern Xinjiang." Honghua explained with a sly smile.

"parking!"

Yan Zong curled his thin lips into a sneer, and a cold voice suddenly rang out. Yu Cheng outside immediately tightened the reins upon hearing the voice, and the carriage slowly stopped.

"Get out of the car!" Yan Zong didn't look at Honghua again, but continued to give the order in a cold voice.

"Oh, it's getting dark in this wilderness. How could the prince be so cruel as to leave me here?" Honghua hurriedly pretended to be delicate and pitiful and expressed her grievance when she heard this.

But there is no doubt that her pity did not move Yan Zong's cold face in the slightest.

"Your Highness's order will not be repeated a second time. Please get out of the car, Madam Honghua!" At this time, Yu Cheng opened the car door and said to Honghua in a cold voice.

Honghua glared at Yu Cheng outside the door, then knelt down in front of Yan Zong unwillingly, and said with a smile: "It is Honghua's fault. Please forgive me this time for the sake of Sister Si Yao. I will answer whatever you want to know truthfully."

Seeing that the woman had behaved herself, Yan Zong nodded to Yu Cheng. He had intended to help her to the end, but he couldn't help but get angry when he saw that the other party was playing tricks on him.

Yu Cheng got the order and closed the door again, and then the carriage started moving slowly.

"That's right. Just as the prince guessed, my sister and I are both from Southern Xinjiang. When my sister Xuanyu was thirteen years old, I was hunted by my enemies and had no choice but to sell her to Yingmen..." After a moment's silence in the carriage, Honghua restrained her expression, held her breath, sighed softly, and then told the identities of the two sisters truthfully.

After all, if the prince had not come that day, sister Xuanyu would have been unable to escape the clutches of Youmei. Now, only with the protection of the prince can they live in peace. However, in order to make the prince trust them, they can only show sincerity first.

"In that case, it is true that it was your sister Xuanyu who betrayed Youmei first, so it is understandable that you are ruthless to a traitor." After Honghua roughly explained the reason, Yan Zong also learned that Xuanyu was labeled a traitor because she helped a sect leader to seize power, so he sneered disapprovingly.

"But Lord Hong'a is my sister's immediate superior. How could Yanyu disobey his orders? Besides, how could my poor sister know that this guy was so bold as to rebel against Youmei? She was just being used!" Honghua was very angry when she saw that the prince was speaking for Youmei. She wiped away her tears pretending to be aggrieved and spoke up for her sister.

In that "sincerity", she naturally concealed the fact that Yanyu secretly helped the famous Li in Jiangnan, assassinated Nanying Zuohu, and helped Hong'a to seek power. Hearing Yan Zong's words, Honghua was even more glad that she did not tell everything.

"I will only help you this time. You'll have to take care of yourself when you get to Xuancheng." Seeing the woman wiping her tears, Yan Zong felt annoyed. Besides, he had no interest in the grudges between them and Yingmen, so he just said coldly.

"It's enough to help you this time. My sister and I will remember the great kindness of the king in our hearts. In the future..."

"No need."

Upon hearing this, Hong Hua immediately raised her eyes and smiled at Yan Zong, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the other party with a cold voice. Hong Hua was not annoyed, and looked at his handsome face and smiled again:

"Although the prince has deep feelings for sister Si Yao, why do I feel that sister Si Yao seems to be deliberately avoiding the prince?"

Hong Hua's words immediately made Yan Zong's face darken with anger. A hint of sinisterness flashed across his cold eyes, causing the fearless Hong Hua to tremble all over. She hurriedly explained with a smile:

"Don't misunderstand me, Lord. I'm just curious why Sister Si Yao is avoiding you even though she clearly cares about you."

Sure enough, as soon as Honghua finished speaking, Yan Zong's expression calmed down, and his cold eyes gradually softened.

Did she really care about him? But why did she step back every time he took a step closer? She even used the difference in status as an excuse. Was it because she still had a grudge against him because of what happened before?

"Sister Si Yao has always been soft-hearted. Prince Zong, do you know how to make her not only stop avoiding you but also come to you on her own initiative?" Seeing the expression on Yan Zong's face, Honghua smiled and continued.

But Yan Zong remained silent. Although he really wanted to know, how could he, as a dignified leader of the clan, ask for advice from this unclear woman?

"I remember there was a poor scholar in Taozhu Village, Guoan County, Jingsong. He was handsome and likable, and his name seemed to be Fu Qingli. He and Sister Si Yao hit it off at first sight. They sat under the peach tree and talked for an entire morning when they first met. Sister Si Yao also took good care of Fu Qingli while he was treating her eyes. Everyone who saw them at that time thought they were a perfect match..." Honghua didn't care that Yan Zongli ignored her, but continued to speak, as if she was deliberately adding fuel to the fire.

"Cough cough..." Just as Honghua was talking excitedly, Yu Cheng, who was driving a carriage outside, couldn't help but cough and interrupted her. She looked at Yan Zong again and found that his expression had already become gloomy and terrifying.

"What does Madam Honghua want to say?" Yan Zong gritted his teeth and said coldly.

"Don't be upset, Your Majesty. I didn't know that Sister Si Yao already had you in her heart. Now I think she is just a close friend to Fu Qingli." Facing Yan Zong's jealousy, Hong Hua was not in a hurry. She smiled and said, "But there is one thing that Fu Qingli deserves your emulation."

Yan Zong sneered with disdain. How could a high and mighty prince like him learn from a poor scholar?

"The status of Fu Qingli is not much different from that of Sister Si Yao. He is both knowledgeable and a modest gentleman, but at the same time he is weak and powerless, which makes people love him. Sister Si Yao is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and is kind and generous. She respects Fu Qingli but is also easily soft-hearted." After Hong Hua finished speaking, he glanced at Yan Zong who was thinking about something and continued, "Sister Si Yao is a wonderful woman who strives for equality and justice, and the high status of the Zong Wang must have oppressed her. At this time, if the Zong Wang still shows his omnipotence in front of her, I am afraid that it will only make Sister Si Yao more afraid of the disparity between your status. She can be independent and self-reliant in this world with her medical skills, and it is understandable that she does not want to rely on others to live."

"Thank you, madam, for your advice." After Honghua finished speaking, although Yan Zong was unable to react for a moment, he still nodded to her gratefully.

"Your Majesty, you are too polite. You and Sister Siyao are both our sisters' benefactors. I naturally hope that you two can finally get married." Honghua said politely, and then leaned forward slightly to remind Yan Zong: "Your Majesty, you must remember that Sister Siyao is soft-hearted and does not tolerate hardship. You must know how to show weakness in front of her."

"Thank you." Yan Zong's expression finally eased and he thanked again.
