The eldest son is fierce

Prince of Zhennan, Xiao Shuang.

Tang Yi immediately searched the memories of his previous life, but could not find any information about the King of Zhennan.

Even in the Jinyiwei's database, he seemed to have never seen any information about the Prince of Zhennan.

There are only two reasons. One is that the relevant information about this guy is top secret, and he was not qualified to access it when he was still in the Jinyiwei.

As for the second reason, it is that the emperor thinks there is no need to guard against this guy?

"The King of Zhennan is a hereditary prince, and his family has guarded the southern border of Da Yan for generations."

Du Lingfei saw Tang Yi's confusion and rolled her eyes at him, saying, "He is His Majesty's nephew, not His Majesty's son. Don't overthink it."

It turned out to be the case.

This makes sense.

The title of King of Zhennan is so resounding and sounds very awesome.

If Emperor Yanwen had a son who was already powerful at a young age, why would he be so passive in the court?

Well, if Emperor Yanwen had such a powerful son, it is more likely that he would be dead by now!

"I didn't think too much about it. I just didn't expect the Prince of Zhennan to be so young."

Tang Yi collected his thoughts and shook hands with Xiao Shuang. "Your Highness has worked hard. Guarding the southern border has saved the people of Dayan from the suffering of war. Your contribution is invaluable."

Xiao Shuang's mouth twitched as he said, "Your polite words aren't very good. I admire more the young man who dared to slaughter people on the city wall and intimidate countless refugees so that they dared not say a word."

"If you were on the battlefield, you would definitely be a more majestic general than me."

To be honest, I used to be a feared general.

Well, a colonel is considered a general in this era, right?

Tang Yi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No, this is not just a polite remark. I have always respected the soldiers who protect the country and the people."

Because I used to be too!

Xiao Shuang had naturally checked Tang Yi's information and knew his preferences. He said, "If others said this, I wouldn't believe a single word, but if you say this, I believe it."

"Also, thank you, Marquis Zhongyong, for taking care of Fei'er during this period. I am deeply grateful."

"I want to take Fei'er away. After all, she and I are engaged. If she stays with you, it will cause controversy and will be bad for her reputation."

Hearing this, Du Lingfei subconsciously clenched her fists. She naturally didn't want to go back with Xiao Shuang.

If at the beginning, she was protecting Tang Yi on the orders of Concubine Xian and the Queen, now she sincerely wants to stay with Tang Yi.

There are very few members of the Tang family, but everyone is very genuine. There is no intrigue here. You can say whatever you want and do whatever you want.

The rules that bound her before are no longer rules here, but just commonplace.

Here, she can decide many things.

If she goes back, there will be many things that she cannot tolerate.

But she didn't want to cause trouble for Tang Yi. Tang Yi now had enemies all over the world in Kyoto. He had offended almost everyone he could, and had already offended everyone he shouldn't have.

If he were to turn against Prince Zhennan because of her, his situation would become even more difficult!

Du Lingfei pursed her lips and looked up at Tang Yi.

But the young man was also looking at her with a warm smile on his face.

"Your Highness may have misunderstood a little. It was never me who took care of Ling Fei. From the very beginning, it was Ling Fei who took care of me."

"If it weren't for her, I would have died at the hands of Su Kuang and others when the Ministry of Revenue's residence was raided."

Tang Yi walked to Du Lingfei's side, stood beside her and said with a smile: "Besides, I have never interfered with Lingfei's freedom. If she is willing to go with you, I will not stop her."

"But if she doesn't want to go with you, Your Highness, please don't force her!"

Tang Yi emphasized the following words.

If Du Lingfei is your girlfriend, or if she agrees to marry you, then there is nothing wrong with you saying this.

But she never expressed anything to you verbally, and even ran away from you because she didn't want to marry you. Just based on that verbal engagement, you come here and declare your sovereignty to me?

I'm sorry, I don't agree.

Xiao Shuang's smile froze slightly. He really didn't expect that even after saying so much, Tang Yi still wouldn't give him face.

Du Lingfei was stunned for a moment, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on the corner of her mouth. Even though the candlelight was dim, it looked extremely dazzling.

Although she didn't want to cause trouble for Tang Yi, she had to say that Tang Yi's attitude made her feel warm and comfortable.

The melancholy in my heart was almost swept away at this moment.

"What are you laughing at? Are you willing to go back?"

Tang Yi glanced at the woman beside him and said unhappily, "There are a lot of things at home that need to be resolved. What should I do if you leave? You want to leave, but I don't agree."

Hearing this, Xiao Shuang turned his head to look at Tang Yi, his eyes became a little sharp. What about the agreement not to interfere with Du Lingfei's freedom?

This is how you understand the phrase "non-interference with freedom"!

"Okay, since you're so sincere, I'll stay for a while."

Du Lingfei stood on tiptoe with her hands behind her back and laughed.

She looked at Xiao Shuang and said, "Your Majesty, I am very happy here and have no plans to leave for the time being."

"And I am under the orders of His Majesty and the Concubine Xian to protect Tang Yi personally. If you want me to leave, you need the order from His Majesty and the Concubine Xian."

"I don't think His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhennan would want me to disobey his orders, right?"

Du Lingfei was already being very tactful in her words. If Tang Yi hadn't been there, she wouldn't have been so polite to Xiao Shuang.

She has known Xiao Shuang since she was a child and knows very well what kind of person Xiao Shuang is. He looks very upright and sunny on the outside, but he has too many calculations in his heart.

He chose to marry her, saying that they were childhood sweethearts, but in fact he just wanted to use her grandfather's influence to win more support.

Why did she escape from her marriage and choose to go to Kyoto and the Imperial Palace?

It was not just because the virtuous concubine was her aunt, the most important reason was that as long as she, the most beloved female member of the Du family, was held hostage in the palace, the emperor would not harbor any grudges against the Du family.

The fact that a prime minister who retired and returned to his hometown was marrying a prince who was in charge of a region was enough to make countless people think about it.

But what she didn't expect was that even though she had hidden in Kyoto, the Prince of Zhennan actually chased her directly from the southern border.

Xiao Shuang stared at Du Lingfei for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Well, if you want to stay, then stay for now!"

"Anyway, I'll be staying in Kyoto for a while, so you should consider my advice carefully during this time."

After saying that, Xiao Shuang nodded at Tang Yi and turned to leave.

However, as soon as he turned around, the smile on Xiao Shuang's face instantly disappeared and his whole face turned cold.

Bitch!

It is your honor that the king takes a fancy to you.

How can I let you refuse!

Since you want to stay, then stay.

Don't you care about Tang Yi? I'll let you watch with your own eyes as I kill him bit by bit.

"Xiao Shuang is not as simple as he seems. The timing of his return to Kyoto this time is too coincidental."

Du Lingfei stared at Xiao Shuang's back, then turned to look at Tang Yi: "Let the Jinyiwei and the Secret Service keep an eye on him, there might be unexpected gains."

Tang Yi raised his hand and scratched his head, then smiled and said, "Isn't this a bit bad? He is your fiancé after all."

"He is not."

Du Lingfei stared at Tang Yi and said word by word, "He and I have never had any engagement. He came to propose marriage, but I didn't agree, and neither did my family."

"He directed and acted all of this himself."

Tang Yi's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this.

Damn, what does that mean?

Is this guy trying to force himself on me?
