Fu Ge Lao did not open the door.

Fu Zhuo didn't leave, and kept standing outside the door waiting.

In the past few months, Fu Ge Lao's life has not been easy, and Fu Zhuo's situation in the Fu family is even more difficult.

After Master Fu returned to Beijing, he knew the whole story, and immediately became angry, and personally used family methods to beat Fu Zhuo hard. Fu Zhuo knelt there, was beaten more than a dozen times, his back was covered with blood, and cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, but he did not cry and beg for mercy.

It was Xu who cried and pounced and stopped her pale husband. Otherwise, under the anger of Master Fu, Fu Zhuo didn't know what he would be beaten.

Fortunately, they were all skin injuries, and there were no injuries to the muscles and bones. Fu Zhuo lay on the bed for half a month, barely able to get out of bed and walk around. It's just that the Fu family members regard him as a family traitor and ignore him coldly.

The juniors of the Fu family are people who are active and active, but because of the prestige of the elders, they dare not get close to Fu Zhuo. At most, it's just a quiet gesture of goodwill in private.

Fu Zhuo has a tenacious temperament and great perseverance, and he did not get depressed. Still as usual, he came to greet Fu Ge every morning and evening.

It's a pity that Fu Ge never wants to see him.

This time was no exception.

Fu Zhuo stood outside the door for nearly half an hour, and there was still no sign of the door opening.

The sky was getting dark, and Fu Zhuo's slender figure was also shrouded in a layer of sunset afterglow. It doesn't move, like a statue. I don't know how long it took, Fu Zhuo finally opened his mouth again: "Grandfather didn't want to see me, so I returned to my grandfather through the door." ”

"Today, the emperor ordered someone to send me a message, ready to make a decree to win love, let me make a return to the middle order, and return to the emperor's side to do things. ”

"If there are no accidents, tomorrow the emperor will make an official decree. ”

Fu Zhuo paused for a moment, and then said: "The order of the Son of Heaven, I can't help but receive the order. I can't keep filial piety for my great-grandmother in the house, it's my unfilial piety. It's just the word loyalty and filial piety, loyalty in the front and filial piety in the back. The Son of Heaven has an edict, and as a courtier, I must put the king first and do my best to be loyal to the country. I beg your grandfather's forgiveness!"

After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed three times outside the door.

After a few more moments, there was still no sound in the door. Fu Zhuo sighed and left gloomily.

……

"Didn't Grandfather see you again?"

Fu Zhuo returned to the house with a lonely face. Luo Zhixuan saw it in her eyes and couldn't help but feel distressed: "It's okay if you don't see it." Things have come to the point where it is impossible to have the best of both worlds. Since you have a choice, you will go on according to your choice. You don't have to regret it, and you don't have to blame yourself for it. ”

Fu Zhuo smiled bitterly: "How can it be so easy as you say." My surname is Fu, and I am the grandson of the Fu family, which is an unchangeable fact. Unless I completely betray the family, I will never be involved with the Fu family. ”

"The emperor decreed that he would take away his affection and order me to return to the court. For me, of course, this is a good thing, and I will not and cannot refuse. But for my grandfather, it was a heavy blow. ”

Isn't it?

The dignified head of the house is worried, and the Son of Heaven does not issue an order to win affection. just let him, the grandson of the Fu family, go to court. Fu Ge Lao's face was stepped on again and again, and he was about to be trampled into the dust.

Fu Zhuo's whole person seemed to be divided into two halves, half of them were happy because of the trust of the Son of Heaven, and half of them were guilty and helpless because of the Fu family's predicament at this time.

Fu Zhuo let out a long sigh.

Luo Zhixuan couldn't bear it in her heart, stepped forward and hugged Fu Zhuo: "Don't be like this." Seeing you so sad makes me feel very uncomfortable. ”

Later, his voice was slightly choked.

Fu Zhuo calmed down and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Luo Zhixuan's slender waist: "Don't worry, I can hold on, it's okay." ”

Luo Zhixuan snorted, and a muffled voice came from her arms: "No matter what happens in the future, our mother and daughter will always be by your side." ”

Speaking of his daughter, Fu Zhuo's gloomy mood finally improved slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone in the house who speaks coldly to Sister Hui?"

It's okay for the two of them to suffer some cold words, but they don't want their daughter to suffer.

"Not really. Luo Zhixuan raised her head: "Sister Hui is Princess Gillian's companion, and she goes to the palace every day to study." No one dares to make our sister Hui angry. ”

Gu Wanning's love for Sister Hui is well known to everyone.

Even if the emperor and queen took action against the Fu family, it did not affect Sister Hui'er's position as a companion at all. Sister Hui accompanies Gillian every day, and often meets with Ah Yi, and has a very good relationship.

Those who are thoughtful can naturally see Gu Wanning's intentions.

In this way, Sister Hui'er's status in the Fu family has become more and more important. No matter how angry Fu Ge was, he didn't get angry with Sister Hui. The Xu family, who has the most important heir, also loves Sister Hui very much.

Fu Zhuo was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "The queen mother is indeed very fond of Sister Hui'er, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as if she were herself. Ah Xuan, you say, does the queen really have that kind of heart?"

Fu Zhuo asked implicitly, and Luo Zhixuan replied directly: "There must be." When Niangniang laughed with me in private, she revealed more than once that she wanted Sister Hui to be her daughter-in-law. ”

With Gu Wanning's temperament, of course he wouldn't laugh casually. If you say anything, you must be serious.

Fu Zhuo's expression didn't show much joy, but frowned: "Niangniang is a good intention, and it is also a good thing for Sister Hui." I'm afraid that my grandfather thinks too much, and Sister Hui will be implicated in the future. ”

Luo Zhixuan was thoughtful, and said casually: "I'll talk about it later." Anyway, Sister Hui is still young, and it will be at least seven or eight years before she gets married. At that time, who knows what the situation will be. ”

That's just as well.

Fu Zhuo smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's me who suffers from gains and losses, and it's unfounded." ”

That's it, I don't think about anything.

When things are at the worst they will mend. Later, more on that later.

……

The next day, the Son of Heaven issued an order to seize the favor and ordered Fu Zhuo to be in charge of the Chinese order.

The Son of Heaven went to the Fu family to issue an edict, and after Fu Zhuo received the decree, he entered the palace on the same day to thank him.

This holy decree must not arouse everyone's discussion and speculation. Fu Ge Lao, who had already made a lot of noise because of the affairs of the ministry, once again appeared on everyone's lips.

The direction of the court has completely changed. When Fu Ge Lao was mentioned one by one, there was less respect, and more mockery and disdain.

How ridiculous it is to hit a stone with an egg, and use the mantis arm as a car, not to measure one's own strength.

Dare to compete with the Son of Heaven, this is the end!

The officials who originally leaned on Fu Ge Lao have now become loyal ministers loyal to the Son of Heaven. Fu Ge Lao's protégés, the hearts of the people have long since collapsed.

Except for a few particularly stubborn protégés, such as the left servant of the ministry, they still care about Fu Ge Lao. The rest of the people changed their ways, or joined the old Wang Ge, or showed favor to the old Cui Ge, who was in the limelight.

Fu Ge Lao's influence in the court has gradually become more and more powerful.

The prestige of the Son of Heaven among the hundred officials is growing, and no one dares to anger the Holy Face easily.
