183 Cracks
"Sister, come out for a ......" Fubai knocked on the door twice, and when she saw that there was no response inside, she actually pushed open the door directly and came in, and saw Chu Heng kneeling beside the bed.
"What's wrong? Sister. Chu Heng turned around and saw Fu Bai looking for him, so he hurriedly stood up and walked out the door.
In the past few months, Fu Bai and Chu Heng have disguised themselves as sisters, while Jiang Lan and Haru have pretended to be their husbands, and Nian Da has become the accompanying coachman. A line of unmanned roads walked down, calm and calm, rarely noticeable.
"News from the capital, Ji Cheng is choosing a concubine on a large scale." Fubai led Chu Heng to her own house, and at this time, Halu was looking for his friends from the Xin tribe, and there was no one else in the house.
"Ji Cheng was in charge of the imperial power at the beginning, and in order to control the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, his best way was to pull a few powerful concubines into the harem." Chu Heng sat down on the chair with a cold face, as if he was not interested in the news.
"I've asked Haru to find the right girl, we can't waste this opportunity to stuff people into the harem......" Fubai paused, her eyes turned out of the window, and the corners of her mouth were faintly sneering: "What's more interesting than a pillow person who has different dreams in the same bed?" β
"Fubai, listen ......" Chu Heng frowned, with a straight face: "I just said something to the emperor, maybe you want to hear it." β
"Chu Heng!" Fu Bai seemed to know what Chu Heng was going to say, and she looked back at Chu Heng suddenly: "Do you remember what you promised me when you took me out of the palace?" β
Chu Heng raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.
Fu Bai snorted coldly and continued: "You said that sooner or later we will fight back. β
"Did you hear what I just said to the emperor?" Chu Heng looked at Fu Bai with burning eyes.
"I hear you." Fu Bai's face was cold and terrifying. There was ice in his eyes: "Do you want to die with him?" It's really a naΓ―ve idea, it's not like the Chu Heng I know at all! β
"Fubai, if the emperor doesn't want to return to the throne. No matter how hard you and I try, it won't help. β
"Your Majesty, he is naΓ―ve! But you can't be like him! Fu Bai paused, and looked at Chu Heng with a bitter face: "Chu Heng, the emperor likes you, he will listen to your persuasion." β
"You want me to persuade him to regain the throne?" Chu Heng subconsciously shook his head.
Fu Bai's eyes stared at Chu Heng directly, and his mood suddenly became irritable: "The emperor, you should know him very well, you can easily influence his emotions." Ignite his fighting spirit. We don't need a passive, incompetent monarch who just wants to live in peace! You can change that! β
"Fubai, watch your words!" Chu Heng stood up and looked at Fu Bai with a cold face: "Jiang Lan is the emperor." No one in this world can control his will, what he wants, I will help him get it, what he doesn't want. I don't want it either! β
"Chu Heng!" Fu Baiqi's eyes were red. The next second she turned sharply, slammed the door and left.
"Fubai......" Chu Heng sighed when he saw this, raised his leg and hurriedly chased after him.
The next morning, I had breakfast downstairs, breakfast was simple cakes and mare's milk, and when I ate, Fu Bai still had a black face, and Chu Heng talked to her twice, but she was stopped back without pain.
After breakfast. Haru also returned, and he smelled of alcohol. I stumbled when I walked.
"It's all said, let you keep a low profile, why are you going to drink again......" Fluffy took Haru's arm with a tired look and helped him up to the second floor.
"Looks like we're going to have to stay here for a day." Jiang Lan looked at the backs of Fubai and Halu with a smile: "I think the two of them are really a good match." β
"It's a good match." Chu Heng's mouth pursed into a line, Fu Bai is an ambitious person, and Haru can just give Fu Bai the opportunity to show his ambitions, these two people are really a good match......
"Let's go around town." Jiang Lan turned her head to look out the window, looking out the window with a look of anticipation.
"I'll get you a coat."
"It's the height of summer, so you don't have to wear that thick." Jiang Lan shook his head.
"This is the north, and the wind is very hard."
Chu Heng looked out the window, the temperature here in summer was not much different from that in the capital, but if it was compared to Fujicheng, it was much cooler. In the summer of Fuji City, the sun burns people on the streets, and at noon, few people go out on the streets.
"I know you're worried about my body, but if I go out with my coat on, I'm afraid I'll get heat stroke." Jiang Lan smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape.
Chu Heng noticed that Jiang Lan no longer used to call himself "I" when he spoke, but became "I". She remembered what the emperor said last night, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly: "Okay." β
Chu Heng and Jiang Lan went out, while Fu Bai stood at the window on the second floor and watched the back of the two leaving, his face gloomy.
"What are you looking at, get me a bowl of decanting soup......" Haru walked to the window in a daze, and looked at the two people downstairs who were drifting away with a strange expression: "Am I not sobering up yet?" Haven't Chu Heng and the emperor always lived in seclusion, why did they go to the street together today......
"I'll get you a bowl of decanting soup." Fleur closed the window and turned out of the room.
After Fu Bai left, Halu's drunken eyes instantly cleared, he pushed open the window again, Chu Heng and Jiang Lan's figures were no longer visible, and Halu frowned slightly in confusion.
A quarter of an hour later, Fubai returned with the sobering soup, and Haru was lying on the bed humming.
"Come on, drink it, your head won't hurt if you drink it." Fubai picked up Haru, scooped up the decanting soup with a spoon, and fed it to Haru.
Haru took a sip of the soup, frowned almost invisibly, and the next second he took the soup bowl, tilted his head and poured the soup down.
"Do you still think this is wine, this is soup, you should drink it slowly." Fubai smiled and took the soup bowl back: "I'll give the bowl back to the proprietress and return it." β
After Fubai left, Haru jerked to his feet, he walked to his package, reached into his pocket, and after a while he took out a ceramic bottle, unscrewed the cap, poured out the pill and stuffed it into his mouth.
The decanting soup just now tasted wrong, although I don't know what Fubai added to it. But Haru still gave himself an antidote pill.
"But why did Fubai drug herself......"
After eating the detoxification pill, Haru lay on the bed and tossed and turned, logically speaking. Seeing that he is about to enter the Xin clan, the emperor Chu Heng and Fubai have to point at themselves, there is no need to drug themselves?
Could it be that it is to use this to blackmail and control yourself......
This medicine must have been ordered by Chu Heng, and Chu Heng's medicine Halu had seen it......
When Haru thought of this, a cold sweat broke out on his back, and he didn't know if his detoxification pill could really fight against Chu Heng's medicine.
"What the hell." Haru angrily reached out and slammed the edge of the bed. He suddenly turned on his stomach on the edge of the bed and began to slap his throat. I ate a night of wine last night, and I vomited. It's a sparse place. I just hope that in this way, the medicine can be spit out somewhat......
"What's wrong with you?" Fubai pushed the door in, and saw that Haru was lying on the edge of the bed and vomiting, so he hurriedly walked over: "Why are you still throwing up?" β
"Drank too much. Disgusting. The mouth is very ...... dry," Haru turned around and lay down on the bed again: "I'm sleepy." β
"I'll help you sleep next door, this room can't be treated." Fubai looked at Haru spitting out half-digested food on the ground, her brow furrowed in disgust.
Haru nodded, he felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and his head was getting dizzy, he knew how much he was drinking, and it wasn't the wine that caused this effect. It was the medicine that Fubai had just given herself......
Fubai asked the proprietress to open another room next door, and helped Haru to lie down in the room. I watched the proprietress pack up the things that Haru had vomited, and then she returned to the room where Haru lived.
By this time, Haru had fallen asleep in a daze. Fubai flipped through Haru's package, took out one of Haru's bracelets engraved with Xin characters, and then she took the charcoal stolen from the kitchen, wrote some words on a white silk handkerchief with the tip of the charcoal, and finally wrapped the bracelet with this silk handkerchief, put the ring in her arms, and quietly went out the door.
At dinner time, Chu Heng and Jiang Lan came back, and they saw the door on the opposite side of the room open, and Fu Bai was sitting at the window in the room reading a book.
Chu Heng asked Jiang Lan to go back to her room first, and she walked towards Fubai: "Why did my sister move the house?" β
"That house made him vomit." Fubai closed the book in disgust: "Today is really bad. β
Chu Heng sighed when he heard this, and walked into the room: "Listen, Fubai, I'm really sorry for what I said to you yesterday......
"What do you mean?" Fu Bai raised his head and looked at Chu Heng suspiciously: "You mean, you changed your mind?" β
Chu Heng frowned and was silent.
"If you haven't changed your mind, why do you say you're sorry?" Fu Bai's face was still very ugly: "Since you want to die of old age with him, then go." β
"You're still angry?"
"Can't I be angry?" Fu Bai took two steps forward: "Listen, you didn't tell me that before you took me out of the palace, you lied to me." β
"Fubai, I'm sorry, it's really my fault." Chu Heng paused, and then said, "But even if there is no emperor, don't you still have him." Chu Heng pointed to Halu who was lying in the room.
"He? A figure at the bottom of the Xin power? Fu Bai's face was full of disgust: "Don't you think the difference between the two is too far?" β
"Far away?" Chu Heng closed the door with his backhand, and looked at Fubai with a serious face: "Listen to me, even if we help the emperor regain the throne, the power you can get is just a powerful female official, and there will be countless people above you, relatives of the emperor, and important ministers of the court......"
Fubai narrowed her eyes and didn't speak.
"But what about him." Chu Heng stretched out his hand and pointed at Haru: "Although he is not favored, he is indeed the son of the king of the Xin tribe, if you help him get the throne of the Xin tribe, what you can get is the queen's throne......
Chu Heng paused, and then said: "One person is below ten thousand people, and with your means, I am afraid that this king will be pinched tightly, and then you will be above ten thousand people, and no one will be below." β
Fubai frowned, as if he intended to move.
"Fubai, I'm really sorry for the emperor's affairs." Chu Heng stretched out his hand and took Fu Bai's hand: "I went to the border with the emperor today, and the emperor told me that he had not been so easy for a long time." To be honest, I feel the same way, I haven't felt so easy in a long time......"
"So......" Fu Bai raised his eyes and looked at Chu Heng: "You have made up your mind and will not go back to the capital again." β
"Yes, wherever the emperor goes, I will go." Chu Heng patted the back of Fubai's hand: "The emperor and I will stay in the Xin clan for a while, and if you need my help during this period, I am duty-bound." β
When Fu Bai heard this, his face was even more moved: "You let me think about it." β
"Okay." Chu Heng opened the door with his backhand, turned around and walked out: "I won't bother you." β
After Chu Heng left, Fu Bai kept looking at her figure until she entered her room.
"You can forget about hatred so easily, in that case, let me help you remember......" The smile on the corner of Fu Bai's mouth was cold: "What's more, I prefer rich Middle-earth to a barbarian land like the Xin people." There is a saying that it is better to be broken than to be ......"
When Haru woke up, it was already noon the next day, and he was sitting at the dining table with his eyes squinting, sipping wheat tea and pounding his head vigorously.
"That's how bad hangovers are." Jiang Lan came over with a bowl of decanting soup and handed the soup to Haru.
Haru was startled, and with a flattered face, he took the soup bowl, which was brought by the emperor himself. But then he thought that Jiang Lan had been kicked out of the capital, and now he was just an outlaw, and Haru's excitement disappeared in an instant.
I lowered my head and smelled the decanting soup, the taste was normal, and nothing was added. Haru lowered his head and drank the soup down, then picked up the hard bun on the table and nibbled on it.
When he woke up, hungry, and when he had eaten, Haru began to inquire about the time he had slept, and what strange things had happened.
"Nothing strange." Jiang Lan drank wheat tea and smiled gently: "We are all waiting for you to wake up, so that you can lead the way to the Xin tribe." β
Haru raised his eyebrows in confusion, wondering why Fubai drugged himself......
Just as Halu and Jiang Lan were eating around the dining table, Chu Heng was reading the books left by Chu Wuji on the second floor.
"May I come in?" Fubai knocked on the door.
Chu Heng put down his hand, got up to open the door, and saw Fu Bai standing at the door with two dark circles under his eyes.
"I saw yesterday that the lights in your house didn't go out all night." Chu Heng looked at Fubai with a worried expression: "Is Haru okay?" β
"He threw up two more times last night, but it's going to be fine, he's eating downstairs and has a decent appetite." Fu Bai stepped into the room, she closed the door with her backhand, and looked at Chu Heng with a serious face: "I have been thinking about what you said last night, I think you are right, being the queen of the Xin clan may really be a good idea." β
Chu Heng smiled with relief on his face when he heard this: "You can think like this to get better, if there is a place where you need me, I will definitely help you." β
"Thank you in advance." Fu Bai stretched out his hand and took Chu Heng's hand, with a kind expression: "You must help me." (To be continued.) )
