164 Chapter 164
When Su Muzhi woke up again, there was no one in the empty dormitory, quiet as if nothing existed. If it weren't for the bright yellow color reminding herself all the time, Su Muzhi would probably be in a trance that she was still in the Huanyi Bureau.
"Madame, are you awake?" Su Muzhi didn't know when the maid in front of her came in, she opened her mouth and found that her throat was dry and sore, and the intimate maid had already poured water and helped Su Muzhi up. The moist water has a hint of sweetness in the mouth, and there is no tearing pain in the throat, but a hint of coolness.
"The emperor made tea for his wife overnight, and asked the slave maid to give his wife a drink when he woke up." The maid opened her mouth at the right time to solve the doubts in Su Muzhi's heart.
"Emperor, what about the Emperor?" Su Muzhi is still not used to the title of Fuyanyu, but in just one year, she has been on top.
"The emperor has gone to the court early and has not come back yet. Xu has something to do, and he went to the imperial study with the minister to discuss national affairs. However, the emperor said earlier that the lady could drink some porridge after waking up, and the slave maid was already preparing there, does the lady need to drink some now? ”
Not to mention that she didn't feel hungry, when the maid told her like this, Su Muzhi found that she hadn't eaten for two days, and there was a little pain in her empty stomach, "I'll go down and eat by myself!" ”
"The emperor has taken care of the slaves and maids, and he can't let his wife get out of bed."
Su Muzhi couldn't cry or laugh, such domineering words were indeed like what she said.
"Then I'll trouble you" After nearly a year of life in the palace, Su Muzhi unconsciously lowered her status when she spoke, and she didn't even notice it, but she heard the maid say: "The emperor said that the entire palace lady only needs to salute the emperor." Therefore, if the lady said such a thing, it would torment the slave and maid, and if the emperor heard it, he would punish the slave and maid. ”
Su Muzhi was there on the spot, and the hand that grabbed the corner couldn't help but clench, and her heart twitched even harder. understands like her, and every bit is considered for her.
In the imperial study, Qiu Yun and Dong Yue knelt in front of Fu Yanyu, Fu Yanyu was expressionless, looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, with a lot of thoughts. The sisters who once fought side by side now deceive themselves, seeing the two people close but not recognizing each other. Fu Yanyu had fire in her heart, but she still wanted to hear what the two parties had to say.
"You two are going to kneel here in silence like this?" It's been almost half an hour, and the two of them knelt without saying a word, and Fuyanyu was a little unable to hold back.
"The slave has nothing to say" Qiu Yun's clear eyes looked at Fu Yanyu, and she was really guilty in her heart, those days when she watched Fu Yanyu get haggard day by day, many times she wanted to say it, but she couldn't say it.
Fu Yanyu is not an irrational person, there are too many unknowns in this palace, Qiu Yun and Dong Yue would rather lie to her, then there must be a force greater than themselves holding them hostage. Who else is more powerful than the emperor in this palace, and the answer is about to be revealed.
"Get up!"
Qiu Yun and Dong Yue glanced at each other, not understanding the meaning of Fuyanyu.
Fu Yanyu stood up, walked outside the door, looked at the snowy sky, and slowly spoke, "It seems that it was also such a snowy day that year, and my father sent us out of the palace. After more than ten years of living and dying together, I know you, and if it weren't for the last resort, you wouldn't hide it from me. Go back and take good care of Mu Zhi. I still have some things going on here, and I can't leave. The palace is too strange to her, and it will be better to have you here. ”
After that, Fu Yanyu turned back and opened the high folds on the dragon case.
Qiu Yun and Dong Yue kowtowed to Fu Yanyu before exiting the imperial study. As soon as the two left, Fu Yanyu put down the fold in her hand, snapped her fingers, and immediately someone came out of the shadows.
"Your Majesty, what do you command?"
"Find out who kidnapped the princess. Don't want those little eunuchs and palace maids, find the mastermind behind the scenes. Fu Yanyu's face was serious, and the chill emanating from her body made the dark guard tremble.
The news in the palace is like wings, even if it is about the emperor, it can't stop those mouths, and the emperor has already gotten the news early in the morning.
It was not surprising that the Emperor Taishang appeared in the imperial study to restore Yanyu, as if he had been prepared.
Brewed tea, set up chessboard. Emperor Taishang is such a smart person, he stroked his beard and said: "Bao'er is like Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms, is it expected that the father and emperor will come?" ”
"If it was like Zhuge Liang, it wouldn't have made Mu Zhi suffer so much." Fu Yanyu pointed out, the Emperor Taishang looked like you don't know what you said and I don't understand, and sat down to drink the tea that was brewed.
The Emperor Taishang was reluctant to say it explicitly, and Fu Yanyu was sure that this matter had nothing to do with him, but he never understood what he meant. If you want to separate the two of them, you can send Su Muzhi away, send it far away, send it to a place where you can't find it, why bother to send it to the Huanyi Bureau so much.
Fu Yanyu was somewhat absent-minded today, and many of the chess pieces she played were inexplicable, and she had already eaten most of the chess pieces by the Emperor Taishang in a short time.
The Emperor Taishang was a little dissatisfied, grabbed a handful of chess pieces and threw them into the chessboard, "Do you know why I didn't tell you about that woman?" Look at it, but a woman, you can't even play a game of chess, how can you manage a country well? ”
"This has nothing to do with the country" Hearing the Emperor Taishang admit it himself, Fu Yanyu's anger broke out suddenly, "Father, what is the difference between sending Mu Zhi to the Huanyi Bureau and killing her?" Can she, a pampered person who has been pampered since childhood, get used to that kind of life? Everyone is golden, what will outsiders think of her at that time? Father, it's not that you don't know, you don't know, the emperors born to those low-born concubines are inferior. Speaking excitedly, Fu Yanyu's eyes were full of tears, thinking about the sin Su Muzhi suffered in the Huanyi Bureau, she couldn't control her emotions.
Emperor Taishang knew that Fu Yanyu's reaction would be fierce, but he never thought that he would be like this, and he actually brought up the rhetoric of the prince and the concubine, how could Su Muzhi be a person who could compare with them.
"Fu Yanyu, pay attention to your own identity, you are the emperor, she is just a lowly woman who charms the lord in the end. What kind of system do you compare her to the prince? ”
Fu Yanyu sneered, "Despicable woman? Is that what my father called the Empress? Does the father want to pay attention to his identity? ”
"Fuyanyu, don't go too far, I can set you up, and I can also abolish you."
"After all, I am the king of a country. The Emperor or something, it's just a name. Fu Yanyu did not show weakness, and fought against the Emperor Taishang with scarlet eyes.
"Hahaha" The Emperor Taishang laughed for a while, but he sobered up Fu Yanyu's smile, and felt a little sorry for his father. If they hadn't gone too far this time, she would never have said such a thing.
"Bao'er has grown up and has the courage to be an emperor, and it is not in vain for my hard work. It's just that the matter between you and Miss Su is unacceptable, especially those nerds in the court, who don't know how to be flexible. Where can they accept such a relationship with you, if it weren't for your several rehabilitation, and your elder brothers are not angry, I'm afraid it will be difficult for this throne to fall on your head. No matter how great your ability is, it will be in vain. These are all realities, and if you don't tell you, you don't want to be disappointed before you ascend the throne. Originally, I left Miss Su in the palace in the hope that this would bring you closer and hide people's eyes, but I didn't think about it and delayed it, and this happened before I told you her identity. What no one expected was that the father was not thoughtful! ”
The emperor's words made Fu Yanyu stunned for a while, and she didn't know what to say when she opened her mouth.
The Emperor Taishang didn't seem to care very much, patted Fu Yanyu on the shoulder and left, leaving Fu Yanyu who was still in shock and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
News from the Dark Guard came quickly, and in the evening there was news back.
"If that's right, it should be the second prince who asked people to tie up Miss Su Family, and originally planned to use Miss Su Family to make the emperor obey. But how can the people below be unruly, and after eating some, they want to insult Miss Su Family, how do they know that Miss Su Family would rather die than give in, so they ...... "The following words were not said again, even so, Fu Yanyu knew what was going on, and she hated the person who wanted to insult Su Muzhi but felt sorry for Su Muzhi, and at the last moment, she actually believed that she would save her.
Maybe everything was predestined in the dark.
"Where is Li Mingtian now?"
"Back to the emperor, on the afternoon of the accident, the second prince took his family out of the city, saying that it was an order."
"It's a good order, don't leave sooner or later."
"Your Majesty, do you need to arrest the second prince back?"
Fu Yanyu thought about it, this matter is a big matter, it is related to Su Muzhi's reputation, and it may not be a good thing to publicize it, but if she doesn't deal with Li Mingtian, she will be unwilling. Su Muzhi was almost injured by the gangsters, and she was afraid that she was going to get sick.
"No, this time, the conditions along the way are difficult, maybe you will suffer from a serious disease, and you may not be able to reach the fiefdom."
As soon as Fu Yan Yu's words came out, the dark guard naturally understood what Fu Yan Yu meant and retreated.
After a day's state affairs and private affairs, the night is dark. Fu Yanyu rubbed her tired eyes, but she didn't know whether to go back to her bedroom.
In fact, no matter who is angry, it is just a momentary anger, and Su Muzhi is really angry, and when she meets herself, she lied to herself and said that she was a female worker in Huanyi, and she did it several times or three times.
Now that I think about it, when Su Muzhi saw her eyes and the look of wanting to stop talking, she was explaining her identity in another way, but she was negligent at the beginning.
"Your Majesty, it's already a day, it's time to go to bed" The eunuch outside the door came in again, Fu Yanyu rubbed her sour eyes, and got up.
The eunuchs and palace maids at the door were already waiting there, including Qiu Yun and Dong Yue, who wanted to salute when they saw Fu Yanyu coming in, but they were exempted by Fu Yanyu, for fear that such a big movement would wake up Su Muzhi, who had already fallen asleep.
"Stand down, all of you!" Fu Yanyu waved back left and right, leaving only Qiu Yun and Dong Yue.
"Madam, Madame seems to have been waiting for the emperor all along" Although Su Muzhi didn't say anything, her eyes kept looking out of the door, thinking that she was waiting for Fuyanyu.
"Got it, it's not early, you guys go to sleep too!" After so many days, everyone is exhausted both physically and mentally, and the tiredness under their eyes cannot be hidden.
"Madame's medicine has been applied according to the emperor's instructions, but, it's just that Madame seems to be a little repulsed, and the slave maid feels that it ......"
Qiu Yun wanted to speak and stopped, and Fu Yanyu said: "Don't affect our relationship because of today's events, just say it if you have something to say, you really make me unaccustomed to it today" Fu Yanyu called herself from "I" to "I", which made Qiu Yun's tears come out at once, "It's the slave's fault, let the emperor and his wife be close but can't see each other......"
"Get up!" Fu Yanyu helped Qiu Yun up, "These things are not something you can control, and the pressure that the Emperor Taishang has put on you doesn't need to think about it." I'm too anxious today, so, that's why I ...... When it comes to Mu Zhi, I can't look at it objectively," Fu Yanyu smiled helplessly.
"I will be like this if I change, care is messy, but fortunately, Mrs. is fine."
"She, her face ......"
"The hunter who saved the lady in the mountain said that the lady got it when she fell off the cliff, and the injuries on the lady's body were also ......."
"I know" When Su Muzhi was dug out of the pit and bathed her, she saw that there were still large and small scars on her body, which showed what she looked like when she fell from the cliff at that time. Fu Yanyu's heart throbbed, but she didn't know how to face Su Muzhi for a while.
In the dark inner room, Fu Yanyu stood quietly at the door, and it took a while to get used to the darkness. Gently approaching the side of the bed, the long hair of the person next to the bed covered most of his face, revealing only one side of his face that was not injured. Fu Yanyu was distressed, and even in her sleep, she had to cover it up like this, which shows how much damage this injury is to Su Muzhi.
The trembling hand was about to pull away the long hair that covered his face, but he heard a thin "don't".
"Haven't slept yet?"
"Hmm."
"Waiting for me?"
Su Muzhi couldn't tell if she was waiting for Fu Yanyu or because she slept too much during the day, she couldn't see Fu Yanyu's expression clearly in the dark, but without looking, she could probably guess Fu Yanyu's expression at the moment.
"Why don't you speak?" couldn't wait for Su Muzhi's answer, Fu Yanyu was a little worried, and more distressed. If this injury made Su Muzhi feel inferior for a lifetime, she couldn't forgive herself.
"I don't know what to say" The almost restored voice made Fu Yanyu's hanging heart relax a lot.
"Your voice is much better."
"Thank you for the emperor's pill, it's really much better."
"What are you calling me?"
"Emperor, Emperor......"
"No one will still call me Yan Yu in the future, okay?" Without waiting for Su Muzhi to answer, some cold lips fell on Su Muzhi's lips, just a light kiss, Fu Yanyu's tears couldn't stand falling, drop by drop, all fell on Su Muzhi's face.
"Are you crying?" Su Muzhi stretched out her hand, and there was warmth on her cold face.
"I'm so scared, I'm afraid that I won't see you in my life. For countless nights, I was haunted by such nightmares, and you were so cruel that you didn't even recognize me when you saw me. At that time, I often thought of Xiao Cui, remembering that she and you always had some overlap, I laughed that I must have missed you too much to have such an illusion, but I didn't expect it to be too much. Fu Yanyu couldn't cry, if she had further verified it at that time, would everything not be like this?
"If it were you, you would have avoided any pressure. If it weren't for Qiu Yun and Dong Yue saying that you were unconscious, I would probably still be living in the mountains. At least I don't have to face so many people and things there, I can be simple and plain. There was a faint sadness in Su Muzhi's low voice, although life in the mountains was hard, it was extremely precious compared to these in the palace. This is also the reason why Su Muzhi said this, she has only been in the palace for a few months, but she has experienced something that she has never experienced in her life.
Su Muzhi's words made Fu Yanyu unable to find any words to refute for a while, the palace has always been unpeaceful, the competition for favor between concubines, the seizure of power between princes, and the struggle for interests between eunuchs and palace maids are constantly staged in the depths of the palace every day like a thrilling book.
"It's not early, go to sleep!" A kiss fell on Su Muzhi's forehead, and Fu Yanyu got up, intending to go back to the imperial study.
"It's so late, you, you're not sleeping?" Seeing that Fuyanyu was leaving, Su Muzhi opened her mouth with some hesitation, her contradictory mood wanted Fuyanyu to stay, but she was afraid that her unbearable scars would frighten Fuyanyu.
"Is Madame inviting me to share a bed?" Fu Yanyu tried to make the atmosphere between the two people more natural in this way, but everything seemed to be unable to go back to the past, Su Muzhi's silence made Fu Yanyu sigh silently and turned back to the imperial study.
The imperial study was fully furnished, but I couldn't sleep with my eyes closed, and all the memories seemed to be repeating scenes in my head, as if it had just happened.
On a snowy night, even if the charcoal fire is burned enough, it doesn't feel hot. Fu Yanyu ran barefoot in the palace, followed by several eunuchs and palace maids. Suddenly, Fuyanyu stopped and said to the eunuchs and palace maids behind her: "You all go back, I just go back to my bedroom, don't come with me." ”
After Fuyanyu left, Su Muzhi's heart was full of sourness, but she was frightened by a loud knock on the door, and was hugged by a cold body before she came back to her senses.
Soon, a palace maid brought the candlestick, and I saw that the person holding her was wearing a bright yellow middle coat, and her naked feet were already red from the cold.
"What are you doing here?" Su Muzhi bit her lip and wanted to break free from Fu Yanyu's embrace, but she was helplessly hugged too tightly, and she didn't break free several times.
"I want to sleep with you" Some explicit words provoked the chuckles of the palace maids behind her, and Fu Yanyu couldn't hold back on her face, so she retreated.
"Such a big person, I don't know how cold it is, so I rushed over. You are now the emperor, and you are tens of millions of people, how can you not cherish your body. Although Su Muzhi said the words of blame, there was no hidden distress in her tone, which made Fu Yanyu, who had been depressed for a day, feel a lot better.
"I suddenly miss you, so I can't care so much."
"What's wrong with those eunuchs and palace maids, you don't know the severity, they don't know either, and they don't stop you, just let you go like this?"
Fu Yanyu shook her eyebrows proudly, "I am the emperor, I am not happy, who dares to say more?" ”
Su Muzhi shook her head lightly, with a helpless look, "Go and lie on the bed, don't be afraid of catching a cold" Before the words landed, Fu Yanyu sneezed several times in a row, but Su Muzhi was in a hurry, and she pushed and pulled Fu Yanyu into the quilt.
"It's still Mu Zhi's quilt warm" Fu Yanyu looked at Su Muzhi beside her happily, wanting to hug her, but she was worried about the cold on her body.
"Well, if you are warm, the emperor will go to bed quickly, and you have to get up early and go to court early!" Like countless nights when two people have slept together, they gently hug each other.
It is said that the harem is the weather vane of the previous dynasty, even if it is quite good, but there is no bad thing about not going out, the news is like having wings, flying into the ears of those high-ranking and powerful national pillars.
At the beginning of the early dynasty, the ministers played one by one, either that Fuyanyu had reached the age of marriage, or that the country could not inherit the unification in the future. One by one, they are messing around, and the big truths are set one by one. They all understood what they meant, and it was nothing more than to let her get married and have children, and live the so-called normal life in their mouths.
"I don't know if Zhong Aiqing has any good proposals?" Fu Yanyu simply followed their meaning and saw what tricks they had.
"The prince of Dayan came to ask for marriage" The official Shangshu was the first to stand up, Fu Yanyu looked at it, then stood up, and asked a little mockingly: "A while ago, Dayan seemed to want to annex my lobby, and now you let me marry their prince, is this considered to give my lobby to Dayan?" ”
"This, this ......" The official Shangshu's face turned pale, thinking of the box of gold sent by the prince of Dayan at home, his heart hurt a little, but compared to his own head, he still planned to return the box of gold after going down to the court.
"Lord Zhang is too disagreeable, what he knows is that you are recruiting relatives for the emperor, and those who don't know think that you are fornicating with the enemy country."
"Lord Chen, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, I, Zhang Tianzhao, are thinking about the emperor, what are your intentions on me according to a crime?"
"I'm going to ask you what your intentions are......"
"Okay" Seeing that the two were arguing, Fu Yanyu could only interrupt, "Above the temple, the two adults are like shrews on the street, what kind of system have they become?" That's all for now, and I naturally have some arrangements for my affairs, so I won't bother you adults, and it's more important to discuss national affairs. I heard that the north has experienced a cold wave that has not been seen in decades, so you should think of ideas for me. ”
With Fu Yanyu's words, a new round of verbal swords began in the court.
