Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

Chapter 207 Waiting for Hair Growth

Feng Qingcheng stared at the two of them, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She turned to Jun Lingyuan and said, "Sir, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you."

Jun Lingyuan raised his eyes and looked at him gently: "What's the matter?"

Feng Qingcheng pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "I met a man named Ling Yuxiao at the border of Lan Country. We walked together for a while and talked a lot. He seemed to have come here specifically to see Miss Feng."

Jun Lingyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his gaze to Feng Qingyue, and said with a hint of teasing: "Oh? Ling Yuxiao? He is really persistent. He even chased him all the way to Lan Country."

Feng Qingyue was slightly stunned, then shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "It's not really chasing him, maybe he just came to Lan Country for fun."

She turned to Feng Qingcheng, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Is he the only one?"

Feng Qingcheng nodded, her tone firm: "Yes, he was the only one there. He said he had just come from Beiyan Shuangyue City and was about to go to Lan Country."

Feng Qingyue frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "Ling Yuxiao...he came to Lan Country alone. Could it be that he and Ouyang Wanqing have already separated?"

Hearing this, Jun Lingyuan chuckled and said in a relaxed tone, "Qingyue, don't think too much. Just ask him directly when you see him."

Feng Qingyue looked at him helplessly, with a hint of anger in her tone: "That's right."

Jun Lingyuan smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, everyone go and rest, and we will talk about other things tomorrow."

Feng Qingcheng nodded and saluted respectfully: "Yes, sir."

When he turned to leave the study, Qian San was already waiting outside the door. He whispered, "Mr. Feng, please follow me."

Feng Qingcheng followed Qian San through the courtyard and came to an elegant guest room.

Qian San pushed open the door and said softly, "Mr. Feng, you should go to bed early. If you need anything, call me anytime."

Feng Qingcheng nodded, her tone calm: "Thank you for your hard work."

Qian San bowed slightly and then quietly left.

The next morning, Feng Qingcheng got up early and opened the window.

After finishing his tidying up, he went to the flower hall alone to have breakfast.

As he entered the courtyard, he heard from afar the sound of low conversation coming from the flower hall.

As soon as she entered the door, Feng Qingcheng saw two people sitting at the table - Zizhu Yingchen and Ali.

Zizhu Yingchen was wearing a purple robe, had a handsome face and a steady temperament.

Ali was wearing a plain long dress, with picturesque features and a calm expression.

Feng Qingcheng was slightly stunned, glanced at the two of them, and wondered in her heart: "Who are these two?"

Feng Qingyue saw him come in, smiled and stood up, introducing him: "Mr. Feng, this is our uncle, Zizhu Yingchen. That is Ali, my uncle's attendant."

Feng Qingcheng's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this, and she quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Greetings, Mr. Zizhu, Miss Ali."

Zizhu Yingchen smiled and nodded, his tone gentle: "No need to be so polite. I've heard Qingyue mention you a long time ago, and seeing you today, you are indeed extraordinary and handsome."

Ali also nodded slightly, and said in a light tone: "Mr. Feng."

Feng Qingcheng's doubts grew even stronger, and she whispered, "Zizhu..."

After he sat down, his gaze lingered on Zizhu Yingchen for a moment. Suddenly, he thought of something and whispered, "When I entered the city, I heard someone was looking for someone named 'Zizhu'. Could it be... that they were looking for you?"

As soon as Feng Qingcheng finished speaking, everyone fell silent, as if waiting for some reaction.

Finally, Feng Qingyue smiled slightly, nodded, and said in a relaxed tone: "It seems that the news spreads quite quickly." She looked relaxed.

Feng Qingcheng frowned slightly, as if she didn't fully understand whether they had already known about it.

He looked at Jun Lingyuan and Zizhu Yingchen and asked in a low voice, "Did you know this a long time ago?"

Jun Lingyuan smiled calmly, with a smile in his eyes, and nodded.

Zizhu Yingchen glanced at everyone, his eyes swept towards the direction of the palace, and said softly, "The ancients just liked to reminisce about the past."

Feng Qingcheng looked at Jun Lingyuan, frowning slightly, her eyes full of confusion.

He spoke softly and asked in a low voice, "Sir, what's going on? Why are you involved in the affairs of Lan Country?"

Jun Lingyuan didn't look directly at Feng Qingcheng, but said lightly: "The tough battle I told you about last night."

Feng Qingcheng was stunned and looked a little confused.

He leaned forward slightly and whispered, "I didn't expect that the tough battle you mentioned would involve the political affairs of Lan Kingdom! If others knew that you were the Emperor of Beiming, this matter would be very complicated and might even lead to a conflict between the two countries."

Jun Lingyuan still didn't look at him directly, but shook his head slightly, his expression relaxed. "Believe me,"

Feng Qingcheng looked at Jun Lingyuan with some confusion in his heart, but in that deep gaze, he felt trust and determination.

Although he was full of doubts, Feng Qingcheng knew that he might not be able to fully understand the current situation and Jun Lingyuan's considerations, but he still nodded.

"Okay, in that case, I will do my best to cooperate." Feng Qingcheng said in a low voice, with a tone of helplessness and trust.

Jun Lingyuan smiled gently, and the ease and relief in his eyes were obvious.

After breakfast, Feng Qingcheng's doubts still lingered in her mind.

He glanced at Jun Lingyuan who was talking to Zizhu Yingchen, and decided not to wait any longer. He walked over and spoke directly.

"Young Master, may I have a word with you?" Feng Qingcheng asked in a low voice, with some urgency in her tone.

Jun Lingyuan looked up at him and nodded slightly: "Okay."

The two walked to a secluded corner, and Feng Qingcheng spoke without hesitation: "Young Master, what exactly is going on with Mr. Zizhu? Why are you involved in the dispute with Lan Country? If your identity were to be known, it might trigger a war between the two countries."

Jun Lingyuan's expression was calm, his gaze deep as he spoke slowly, "Qingcheng, Zizhu Yingchen is Qingyue's uncle. Twenty years ago, the Zizhu family was the guardian of Lan Kingdom and possessed immense power. However, the then-Emperor of Lan Kingdom feared the Zizhu family's power and, believing slander, had the entire Zizhu family executed overnight. Only Zizhu Yingchen and his sister—Qingyue's mother—managed to escape."

Feng Qingcheng was shocked and asked, "Is this really true?"

Jun Lingyuan nodded, his tone heavy, "Now, those former enemies have learned that the Zizhu family still has bloodlines surviving. They are afraid that their crimes from the past will be exposed, so they want to completely eliminate them."

Feng Qingcheng frowned and asked in a low voice, "So, Mr. Zizhu came to Lan Country this time for revenge?"

Jun Lingyuan shook his head: "Not entirely. He came here to expose the truth of the past and restore the innocence of the Zizhu family. And those who framed them will certainly not be let off easily."

Feng Qingcheng was silent for a moment, a hint of worry in her tone: "Sir, why do you want to get involved? After all, this is Lan Country's internal affairs. If your identity is exposed, it may cause a conflict between the two countries."

Jun Lingyuan's eyes were firm, his tone filled with determination. "Qingcheng, the Zizhu family's affairs are not just Lan's internal affairs. Back then, those people, seeking power, did not hesitate to harm loyal people and even wanted to wipe out the entire clan. As the Emperor of Beiming, although it is not convenient for me to intervene directly, I cannot sit idly by. Moreover, Mr. Zizhu is Qingyue's uncle, so Qingyue's affairs are my business."

Feng Qingcheng looked at him with a complex expression in her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, I understand your intentions. However, this matter involves many people, and if you are not careful, you will end up in trouble."

Jun Lingyuan smiled faintly, his tone soothing: "Qingcheng, don't worry. I know my limits and won't let things get out of hand. Just proceed as usual, and I'll let you know if there's anything I need."

Feng Qingcheng nodded, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Okay, since you have made your decision, I will fully cooperate. But this is too risky, please be careful."

Jun Lingyuan patted Feng Qingcheng's shoulder, his tone full of trust: "Don't worry."
