Ren Ruyi didn't say anything and walked straight into Yang Ying's room. When he didn't see Zheng Qingyun coming back, everyone naturally knew the reason.

Ning Yuanzhou explained the situation to Zhou Chen and others with a very bad look. Zheng Qingyun wanted to do something bad to Yang Ying. Fortunately, they arrived in time, rescued Yang Ying, and exposed Zheng Qingyun's conspiracy.

He did not say much about the specific process, but only told the result. In the end, Zheng Qingyun was killed by Yang Ying himself.

Yu Shisan sighed, "Your Highness, you look so delicate, but you are forced to kill the man you love. This is the most painful thing in the world."

Qian Zhao asked worriedly, "Is your Highness okay?"

Yuanlu was equally worried: "When Her Highness came back, she didn't say anything. I hope Sister Ruyi can comfort her."

Zhou Chen was not worried at all: "Don't think of her as so fragile. Her progress along the way is obvious to all. This incident was indeed a big blow to her, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. At least it made her realize her current situation and recognize human nature. Isn't this how people grow?"

"That being said, Your Highness is still young after all."

Ning Yuanzhou and his companions were so worried that they were distracted even while eating.

Another day passed, and Ren Ruyi's persuasion had no effect for the time being. Instead, Yang Ying became ill due to excessive sadness and had been in a coma ever since.

When An Guo learned that Yang Ying was ill, he specially arranged for someone to visit him. The person was the Envoy of Introduction and the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, who were personally appointed by Emperor An. The Envoy of Introduction was Li Tongguang, the current Marquis of Changqing of An Guo.

When Yu Shisan came over to explain the situation, everyone understood that An Guo had come with bad intentions, but the Envoy for Introducing the Emperor was at the same level as the Envoy for Welcoming the Emperor Yang Ying. Whether it was Du Changshi or Ning Yuanzhou and others, they were all of a lower level, so the Envoy for Welcoming the Emperor Yang Ying had to come forward.

Originally, Wu State was in a passive position in order to welcome back Emperor Wu. If they refused to meet, they would undoubtedly lose face and would also give An State an excuse to make things difficult for them.

But the problem is that Yang Ying is still in a coma. Even if she is forcibly awakened, she cannot be seen in public and will definitely reveal her flaws.

In the end, Ren Ruyi came up with an idea on the spur of the moment, and Ning Yuanzhou and the others thought it was feasible, so they started to implement it.

After a confrontation, Ning Yuanzhou and his companions, Li Tongguang and others, came to the door of Yang Ying's bedroom. They walked into the room only after hearing a "come in".

But after they came in, they did not see Yang Ying, but saw Zhou Chen first.

"Are you the King of Li?"

Li Tongguang and others from Anguo were all confused when they saw Zhou Chen, because Zhou Chen's image was completely different from the image of the King of Gifts they had received.

Zhou Chen said calmly: "I am the attendant of His Royal Highness Prince Li. His Royal Highness Prince Li is still in a coma. If you want to pay your respects to him, you can do so here."

But how could the people of An agree? Just as they were arguing, Ren Ruyi, dressed in luxurious palace clothes and with a graceful posture, slowly walked out from behind the screen.

"Who are you?"

"Princess Huyang of Dawu has been ordered to serve as a female historian to accompany the prince and send gifts to his brother."

Ren Ruyi's dignified and graceful demeanor, as well as her cold and aloof demeanor, really stunned the people of An Guo. Even Du Changshi, who came with him, looked stunned. He seemed to be pretending.

Zhou Chen cooperated very well and shouted coldly: "Why don't you come to see the princess?"

The Anguo officials who came in all looked at Li Tongguang, but Li Tongguang was completely stunned at this time. With a cold and arrogant look on his face, he looked stupidly at Ren Ruyi in front of him.

"Master?"

The word "Master" stunned everyone in the room except Zhou Chen, even Ren Ruyi was no exception.

Ren Ruyi remembered Li Tongguang, but only the Li Tongguang of six years ago. Over the years, Li Tongguang had changed a lot. When they first met, she didn't recognize him at all. So when she heard it, she was also very surprised, but she didn't show anything on her face.

Li Tongguang was so excited that he took a step forward and said anxiously, "Master, I am Jiu'er, don't you recognize me?"

Ren Ruyi did not respond, but walked behind Zhou Chen and deliberately asked in a low voice: "What did he say, who is Jiu'er?"

Zhou Chen naturally knew it well and knew the master-disciple relationship between Li Tongguang and Ren Ruyi, but when he thought of Li Tongguang's behavior, his eyes became very sharp.

He had already been honest with Ren Ruyi and treated her as his own woman. Naturally, he was very unhappy with those who coveted his woman, even if they were his apprentice.

"It's me, Jiu'er, Master, you..."

"Shut up, there is no master of yours here, this is my enlightened Princess Huyang."

But Li Tongguang only had Ren Ruyi in his eyes. He completely ignored Zhou Chen's words and explained anxiously: "Master, I am now the Marquis of Changqing. The emperor has also given me the surname of the emperor. Jiu'er is no longer a child without a surname."

He pulled the follower behind him and said, "Master, this is the follower you appointed to me back then, Zhu Yin, don't you remember him?"

Zhou Chen took a step forward and stood in front of Ren Ruyi. Li Tongguang's gaze really made him unhappy.

This action of his angered Li Tongguang, who stepped forward and shouted, "Get out of the way."

After saying that, he attacked Zhou Chen regardless of the occasion.

This made Zhou Chen very happy. He was worried that he would not have the chance to teach this guy a lesson, but this guy just came to him.

So a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly attacked Li Tongguang who was attacking him. Although Li Tongguang's martial arts were good, they were not good enough in front of Zhou Chen.

With just one move, Zhou Chen slapped him on the chest, knocking him back several steps.

Coldly staring at Li Tongguang, who was holding his chest with a look of pain on his face, Zhou Chen snorted: "If you dare to be presumptuous again, next time it won't be such a light palm."

The Anguo officials who came with him all tried to persuade him, but Li Tongguang had completely lost his mind. He shouted again, trying to wake up Ren Ruyi, but he was blocked by Zhou Chen. He could not see Ren Ruyi at all and was very angry.

"Master, I am really Jiu'er. I carry the Tianyun Iron Blue Cloud Sword you gave me every day. I have never let it go for a single day. Look."

"I say again, stand down."

But how could the insane Li Tongguang retreat? All he wanted now was to quickly get rid of Zhou Chen, the troublemaker, and then reminisce about the past with his master.

So he wanted to draw out the Qingyun Sword suddenly, but Zhou Chen had been on guard against him. Before he could draw out the sword, he had already held down his sword-holding hand. Then, with a powerful force burst out, he pressed the sword back abruptly, and then kicked out, kicking Li Tongguang out.

"puff!"

Li Tongguang fell outside the door, spitting out a mouthful of blood, staring at Zhou Chen with red eyes.

The Anguo official who came with them was also shocked. He went over with Zhu Yin to help Li Tongguang up, and then yelled at Zhou Chen and others in frustration.

"How dare you! Marquis Changqing is the envoy who brought us here. How dare you do such a cruel thing to me? I will report this to His Majesty when I return."

Du Changshi was worried, but Ning Yuanzhou didn't buy it at all. Instead, he said coldly, "It was your Changqing Marquis who wanted to disrespect Princess Huyang. Even if it comes to the Emperor An, our Dawu is in the right."

Li Tongguang didn't care about that. Regardless of his injuries, he rushed into the house again. This time he calmed down a little and did not rush towards Zhou Chen again.

"Master, you really don't recognize Jiu'er?"

Ren Ruyi said expressionlessly: "I don't know you, and I'm not your master. You've got the wrong person."

The cold words made Li Tongguang calm down completely. After saying a few polite words, he was ready to turn around and leave.

But just as he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Chen in a cold voice: "What's your name and who you are?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said slowly: "Zhou Chen, as for your identity, I am the horseman of Princess Huyang."

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Tongguang's expression changed drastically. The fingers holding the sword turned white. He stared at Zhou Chen for a long time before turning and leaving.

Ning Yuanzhou looked back and forth between Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi: "Old Zhou, you have offended the Marquis Changqing to death."

"We are not the same kind of people to begin with, so I'll just offend him to death. It's his fault that he made me so upset."

No matter what kind of person Li Tongguang is in the TV series, just because he covets his woman, they can never be the same kind of people.

Ning Yuanzhou thought for a moment and said, "Miss Ruyi, I don't know what your relationship with that Marquis Changqing is, but I hope you..."

Before he could finish, Ren Ruyi interrupted him and said, "Don't worry, I won't destroy our cooperation. My current identity is the Princess of Dawu Huyang, and I have nothing to do with him."

"That's good."

After Ning Yuanzhou left, only Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi were left.

Seeing that Ren Ruyi was absent-minded, Zhou Chen walked over to her and held her hand.

"Still thinking about your apprentice? You won't blame me for teaching him a lesson just now, will you?"

Ren Ruyi shook his head and said, "No, I was just surprised. I didn't expect to meet him here, and I didn't expect that he was actually the Marquis of Changqing. No wonder Mei Niang hesitated when she mentioned the Marquis of Changqing before. It seems that she knew it a long time ago."

"But even though he left today, he will definitely not let me go. He will definitely find ways to prove my identity. Although I am not worried, with his current identity, it will be troublesome if he causes trouble for the delegation."

Zhou Chen held her hand tightly and comforted her, "Don't worry. If he dares to mess around, I will beat him up for you. After all, he is your apprentice, so I am his master's father-in-law. It is only natural for a master's father-in-law to beat his apprentice."

Chapter 1408: Reverse Scale, Scolding Du Changshi

Li Tongguang could never get over what happened in the post house. The first thing he did after leaving was to immediately send someone to investigate the origins of Princess Huyang.

"Find out more about the Princess Huyang and her horseman. His name should be Zhou Chen, right? Find out more about her for me."

Meeting his 'Master' today had greatly shocked his mind; he felt that he was his Master because he thought that Master looked so much like him.

But the other party claimed to be the Princess of Huyang. He wanted to get closer to test her, but was stopped by that county horse. So he was full of resentment towards Zhou Chen. He almost wanted to go back and mobilize troops to kill Zhou Chen and snatch his "master".

Zhu Yin wanted to persuade him, but seeing his master's crazy and excited eyes, he swallowed and did not dare to oppose him at this time.

In fact, he also felt that the other party was very similar to Ren Zuo Shi, but he was more rational. How could Ren Zuo Shi suddenly transform into Princess Huyang of Wu Kingdom?

After what happened in Hexian Posthouse, the atmosphere in the entire posthouse was extremely strange.

The people of An Guo were not clear about Ren Ruyi's identity, but how could Ning Yuanzhou and others not know? The identity of Princess Huyang was fake, and Ren Ruyi's real identity was Ren Xin, the former left entrustor of the Zhuyi Guard.

Judging from the behavior of Changqing Hou Li Tongguang, it cannot be false that Ren Ruyi is his master.

But it is precisely because of this that people become interested.

In Ren Ruyi's room, she was talking to Zhou Chen about what happened between her and Li Tongguang. During this process, her emotions were different from before. It could be seen that she still had some affection for this disciple, but it was just a pure master-disciple relationship.

"What's your expression?"

Seeing Zhou Chen's unhappy expression and his unwillingness to listen, she frowned slightly.

"Nothing, I just don't like that guy."

"Why? Is this the first time you two have met?"

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "Because the way he looked at you made me uncomfortable. To be more specific, I was jealous."

"Jealous? Are you jealous of Jiu'er?"

Ren Ruyi was stunned, and couldn't believe his ears: "Jiu'er is my disciple, are you jealous of him?"

Zhou Chen pretended to be ashamed and angry and shouted, "Yes, is it not possible? I am just jealous. I told you that the way he looks at you is unusual. Also, I am jealous that he knew you before me. You have known each other for so many years. Who knows who is more important to you, him or me? It would be fine if we hadn't met, but if we had, I would certainly be unsure."

His deliberate display of weakness and his angry expression made Ren Ruyi instantly happy. This was also what he did on purpose.

For a woman like Ren Ruyi, the more forceful and straightforward you are, the more likely she will resist. However, his anger and humiliation actually made Ren Ruyi laugh and happy.

"How old are you? Why are you still fighting for favor with a child?"

"What do you mean I am so old? I am only 28 this year, and that guy is already 22. I am only a few years older than him, so why can't we fight? What's more, this involves the mother of my future child. You are my weak spot, and no one can touch you."

The more aggrieved Zhou Chen acted, the softer Ren Ruyi's heart became. Although she seemed decisive and resolute, she was actually the type of person who would not tolerate being treated harshly but given soft words.

"I understand. He is just my apprentice. You are the father of my child. In my heart, you are more important than him. You said that you are the master's father-in-law. Why are you jealous of the younger generation?"

Zhou Chen took advantage of the situation and grabbed her hand and placed it in his own. Ren Ruyi did not resist and let Zhou Chen hold her hand.

"I am serious. In your heart, I am number one."

"No, my lady comes first and you come second."

Zhou Chen sighed: "It seems I have to work harder."

As they were talking, Yuanlu ran over and said that Du Changshi and Ning Yuanzhou called them over to discuss something.

After hearing this, Zhou Chen's eyes flickered slightly. He roughly guessed the reason why they were called over. It must be because of what happened today. Li Tongguang was the envoy of introduction, and when such a change happened, it was hard to guarantee that the delegation would not have other ideas.

As expected, when Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi arrived at the conference hall, Ning Yuanzhou and others analyzed the situation and felt that Li Tongguang was a target worth winning over. Finally, Yang Ying decided to find Li Tongguang in person and discuss with him to see if he could win over Marquis Changqing.

But Du Changshi suddenly interrupted: "Wait, Your Highness, I think Miss Ruyi is more suitable to negotiate with Marquis Changqing than Your Highness."

Everyone present changed their expressions and looked at Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi at the same time. Ning Yuanzhou also saw Zhou Chen's expression and hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Lord Du."

"Master Ning."

Du Changshi interrupted Ning Yuanzhou and said, "Everyone saw it yesterday. Marquis Changqing seemed to treat Miss Ruyi differently. If Miss Ruyi went to talk to him, she would definitely..."

"Crack!"

"I'm sorry, the quality of this chair is not very good. I didn't even use any force, how come it broke?"

Everyone in the room looked over and saw that Zhou Chen was holding a piece of wood in his hand, and the handle on one side of the chair under him was missing.

Du Changshi swallowed his saliva and couldn't continue what he was about to say.

"Master Du, please continue what you were about to say." Zhou Chen looked at Du Changshi with a 'pleasant face'.

Du Changshi's body trembled, and his beard shook a few times. He looked at Ning Yuanzhou for help.

"Master Ning."
