Ling zhen was stunned and then happy. 'good good she's honest and not hypocritical' recovering her smile, she let go of feng xiaowei's hand when she saw her feeling uncomfortable and said to her. "Are you going to the Capital too it's scary to go alone without guards although you were strong it won't hurt being cautious and I can retrieve the money from the bank in the Capital" ling zhen blocked all roads of escape for feng xiaowei. Feng xiaowei nodded and followed ling zhen to her big but ordinary looking carriage. She was fine going together since she did not sense any malice from the lady. Meng er followed behind her.
Reaching long Aotian's side, ling zhen introduced herself and her son. "Young lady my name is ling Zhen you can call me Madame Zhen and this is my son Aotian" Long Aotian hid his feelings of love in his heart and looked calmly at Feng xiaowei. "He's 18 this year and is unmarried" ling zhen lied through her teeth. Long Aotian frowned and Hong San scoffed. The imperial guards were trying their best to minimise their existence. It was a very funny scene indeed. Feng xiaowei smiled and Introduced herself. "I'm Feng xiaowei and this is my maid Meng er." Feng xiaowei's introduction stunned each and every person, this was because the young lady introduced her servant. None of the nobles did that. Ling zhen's smile became more and more profound.
[does this woman have smiling disorder or what? ] feng xiaowei questioned herself. "young lady are you married or engaged if not...."
"I'm participating in the imperial selection and I'm going to make sure I'm selected" Feng xiaowei said feeling all smug. Feng xiaowei cut off the lady again.
[trying to match me up with your son, hmph this young lady here is a future imperial concubine. ] ling zhen couldnt be more happy. 'If this lass is joining then wouldn't that mean.. ' she shot her son a knowing look, the latter blushed and avoided her sight.
[what's wrong with this mother and son pair.. ] feng xiaowei pondered. Long Aotian smiled at feng xiaowei saying to her, "Miss you must be tired after all this fighting you can share the carriage with my mother. I shall ride on the horse". The whole entourage of guards were shocked to the point almost screaming. When has his Majesty been this gentle. Feng xiaowei took another look at Long Aotian before nodding in a daze.
[soo handsome. ] boarding the same carriage as Madam Zhen, the carriage set of to the Capital with menger in another carriage with hong san guiding it. The entire assassination thing was forgotten and feng xiaowei forgot to think about how Madam Zhen could stay calm after seeing lots of dead bodies. The carriage left leaving a trail of dust. After a while, few of the imperial guards who stayed behind started clearing up the bodies of the assassins. No one would know what had transpired here today.
