The sky was cloudy and dense with rolling clouds. Layers after layers of clouds piled up to the horizon. It was summer and the rolling black clouds made it seem as if a heavy rain was going to fall soon.

Fang Zinan quietly stood in the study room, looking at the clouds in the sky. He said lightly: "The storm is about to come."

Xiao Tianyuan, who was seated not far behind him, nodded happily. "That's right. The storm is about to arrive."

Fang Zinan turned around with a sneer on his face, "Even the biggest storm will pass, not to mention the fact that it's not raining. It's just that the weather is hotter."

"This time, we're sending troops to Dongning. Is Prince Rong ready?" Xiao Tianyuan changed the topic.

Fang Zinan shook his head and answered honestly: "To be honest, I am not worried about sending troops to attack the Beiyue Country. However, I am worried about something else."

"What is it?"

"I'm thinking that if we leave now and Qing Er is the only one left in the mansion, and she likes to walk around everywhere, I wonder if she will encounter any danger."

Xiao Tianyuan suddenly laughed, his eyes filled with a narrow-mindedness. "Before you even set out on your journey, you've already grown up as a girl. This doesn't seem like you anymore."

"If you were married and had a wife you loved, it might be as I thought." Fang Zinan shook his head and then asked, "I'm really curious, do you have someone you like?"

The smile congealed on Xiao Tian Yuan's face. He stayed silent for a while and then nodded affirmatively, "Of course, I have a girl I like in my heart, but … That's impossible. "

Fang Zinan turned his head and raised his voice, "Could it be that the person you are talking about is Qing Er? Why do you say it's impossible? "

"You're thinking too much. How could it be an imperial concubine?" Xiao Tianyuan laughed bitterly as a beautiful figure appeared in front of his eyes. Her figure was vague, but it would often appear in his mind.

Fang Zinan smiled. "I really didn't expect that the great general Xiao, who has never been close to a woman, would one day like her. I just wonder what kind of girl will make the great general be so fond of her?"

Xiao Tianyuan avoided the topic. "Stop talking about me. Have you talked to the wangfei about the battle?"

Fang Zinan nodded subconsciously: "Of course I did, but …"

"But what …"

Fang Zinan sighed, "But Qing Er … she insisted on coming with me to the battlefield."

"Are you joking? How could a battlefield be easy to enter? Furthermore, danger lurks in every corner of the battlefield. Princess Hua-Yang really cannot go. " Xiao Tianyuan said calmly.

"I think so, too, but she doesn't like it." Fang Zinan shrugged with a bit of distress.

"This thing is not going to work. Don't think too much about it. It's better to think about how to fight this battle." Xiao Tianyuan's thoughts for the past few days would be on the military intelligence analysis.

Fang Zinan nodded in agreement, returned to the table, opened the map, and observed the terrain.

"Right, the poison in your body has already been dispelled. Have you told the wangfei yet?" Xiao Tianyuan asked her as if he had thought of something.

Fang Zinan shook his head, "No."

"Why?"

"I don't want her to know so much. You also know that her brain is too simple. There are some things that shouldn't be told to her." Fang Zinan knew Shang Yiqing's personality well, so he decided not to tell her.

Xiao Tianyuan disagreed and retorted, "If you do this, I'm afraid that the wangfei will be very unhappy. Besides, your poison has never flared up again. Has she never suspected anything? "

Fang Zinan shook his head, his lips moving, but no words came out. Suddenly, the door was kicked open with a "dong". Shang Yiqing stood outside the door furiously with her eyes wide open. Anyone could tell that she was furious.

Xiao Tianyuan was startled and asked in astonishment, "What's wrong with the wangfei? Who made you angry? "

Shang Yiqing took a few steps forward and pointed at Fang Zinan's nose, saying snappily, "Why don't you ask him first?"

Fang Zinan was confused and asked, "Ask me?"

"Yes, I'm asking you?" Anger flared in Shang Yiqing's eyes, and he raised his voice, "Let me ask you, the poison in your body has already been cured, why have you never mentioned it to me? What other time are you trying to hide from me? "

Fang Zinan was a bit embarrassed, he paused for a moment and said: "I didn't tell you, but I was afraid that you would know about this."

"What a joke, what right do you have to think that I would brag about it?" Shang Yiqing sneered.

Fang Zinan stopped talking. He did this because Shang Yiqing was too outspoken, and as long as she was provoked, she would say everything. Moreover, to protect herself, his brother always looked down on him and thought of him as trash, even sending people to kill him. If they knew that he was in good health, who knew what tricks she would pull? Not to mention that the emperor had just appointed him as the great general of Fuyuan, this matter itself had caused the brothers to be unhappy. If these brothers knew about this, they wouldn't let him off either!

Seeing Fang Zinan not say a word, Shang Yiqing was angrier, "You sure speak up?" What is your intention in hiding this from me? "

Fang Zinan still didn't move and didn't speak.

Xiao Tian saw that Shang Yiqing's momentum did not lessen, so he spoke up to stop her, "Esteemed wangfei, let's talk slowly. There is a reason behind Prince Rong's actions."

"Big brother Xiao, I had a great deal of respect for you. I never thought that you and Fang Zinan would actually hide it from me. I really don't know what you guys mean." Shang Yiqing and Xiao Tianyuan also started to blame themselves, thinking that the two of them had been teaming up to deceive themselves.

Xiao Tianyuan laughed bitterly and did not continue.

Fang Zinan looked up at Shang Yiqing and said gently, "Qing Er, Brother Xiao and I are discussing military affairs right now, let's talk after we're done."

"Oh, you mean you find me annoying? You think I'm bothering you guys with your business? " Shang Yiqing asked angrily and kicked the table heavily.

"That's not what I meant. Didn't you see that we were really researching about sending troops to Dongning?" Fang Zinan tried to explain.

"Whatever you say is fine. Anyway, I won't believe you anymore?" Shang Yiqing felt like she was being fooled. The poison in Fang Zinan's body had been removed, and he hadn't even told her about such a huge matter. This made her worry for nothing for so long, and it was infuriating.

Fang Zinan sighed. He knew that if Shang Yiqing knew about this, she would go crazy.

Shang Yiqing had no intention of leaving. Instead, she stared at him with wide eyes as if she wanted to see through him.

"Do you remember that time when we fell into the cave, you picked a flower that was as red as blood?" After a moment of silence, Fang Zinan asked softly.

"Of course I know. What happened after that flower automatically seeped into your skin?" Shang Yiqing suddenly came to a realization, "You mean, that flower?"
