Chapter 43: The Way Out
"To His Highness." Yu Qi trembled.
Hua Shenyue was disheveled at the moment, and her face was already crying pear blossoms with rain, which made her unconsciously distressed.
Fu Qinglian ignored Yu Qi, walked straight to the bed, took off the cloak on his body, covered Hua Shenyue's body, and untied her hands and feet.
Hua Shenyue couldn't hold back any longer, and threw herself into Fu Qinglian's arms: "Ah Qing, why did you come." β
Hua Shenyue couldn't help but cry, I really didn't know what the consequences would be if he was one step late.
Fu Qinglian didn't dare to think about it, he could only hold the weak person in his arms tightly and try to calm her down.
"Lord Wang." Chen Shi came in.
"Do what you want, take it away." Fu Qinglian couldn't wait to let him disappear immediately.
"The prince spares his life, the prince, spares his life." Yu Qi knelt on the ground and pleaded.
Chen Shi stepped forward without hesitation and took him away.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Fu Qinglian said softly.
Hua Shenyue kept crying, she was really scared today, which was more terrible than her being hunted down and killed with Fu Qinglian before.
"Ah Qing, take me away, I'm scared, I don't want to stay here." Hua Shenyue trembled and spoke.
"Okay." Fu Qinglian didn't say much, hugged Hua Shenyue and went down from the back window, disappearing from sight.
Outside the city gate, a carriage had been waiting for a long time, and in the night, Fu Qinglian got into the carriage with Hua Shenyue in his arms.
He gently put Hua Shenyue down: "I have prepared clothes for this car, you can change them first." β
Fu Qinglian was about to get out of the car, but was stopped by Hua Shenyue: "Why did you bring me here, shouldn't you go back to the palace?" β
The answer to Hua Shenyue was a long silence.
"Are you trying to let me go?" Hua Shenyue asked again.
"If you want to leave, I'll send you away, isn't it great?" Fu Qinglian replied.
"Good...... Good. Hua Shenyue followed his words and said no more.
Fu Qinglian jumped out of the carriage and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Someone stepped forward to ask for instructions, Fu Qinglian looked at the direction of the carriage, and finally said, "Take care of her." β
The man next to him retreated.
After a while, Hua Shenyue changed her clothes and walked out of the carriage, still holding the cloak that Fu Qinglian had given her just now, she walked in front of Fu Qinglian and secretly calmed down her state of mind.
"Pay you back." Hua Shenyue handed over the cloak.
Fu Qinglian looked at Hua Shenyue with a complicated expression, and did not reach out to take it, but just said, "Take it." β
Hua Shenyue's hand hanging in the air was lowered again, and the two of them stood separately, each looking at the sky.
"I thought you'd keep me." Hua Shenyue suddenly came out of nowhere.
Fu Qinglian turned his head to look at Hua Shenyue with a complicated expression. He didn't want to keep her, but to keep her was to put her in danger, and he didn't want to do that.
"Ah Qing, am I going to get you into trouble?" Hua Shenyue asked.
"It's good to know." Fu Qinglian was ruthless and said.
"So, get out of here and don't come back." Fu Qinglian continued.
"Won't be coming back." Hua Shenyue smiled with relief.
She knew that Fu Qinglian just didn't want her to be in danger again.
"Take care. Will be ...... later Indefinite. Hua Shenyue struggled, but still said this.
Then turned around and got into the carriage, Fu Qinglian looked at her lonely and stubborn back, but he couldn't see her tears that he couldn't hold.
"There will be no time in the future." Fu Qinglian looked at the direction in which the carriage was leaving, and was reluctant to leave for a long time.
In the past few days, King Jing said that he was sick and could not go to the early dynasty, but Fu Beixing was in a hurry, and he was really tired of dealing with these ministers.
All kinds of things add up, it's really a head two big. This gave Fu Beixing an idea, he didn't see Fu Qinglian saying that he was sick and couldn't go to court early, what was the matter, he had such a big influence, he wanted to go out and see.
Fu Qinglian has been nesting in the study, and he doesn't deal with government affairs, but he has been holding the jade pendant in his hand in a daze.
At this time, Hua Shenyue should have returned to the Valley of the Divine Doctor, right? Will her father be in the valley, so what is she doing now? Is it healing and saving lives?
Fu Qinglian unconsciously thought about Hua Shenyue.
"Why don't you go out in the room during the day?" Fu Beixing's voice pulled Fu Qinglian's thoughts back.
Fu Qinglian hurriedly hid the jade pendant: "Brother Huang, why are you here?" No one heard a word. β
"It's my order, I don't blame them." Fu Beixing picked up a book casually and flipped through it.
"Aren't you sick? What do you think? It's okay now, I've come to visit you. Fu Beixing looked naughty.
"Brother Xie is fine, Brother Xie is worried."
Fu Beixing put down the book in his hand: "What about Hua Shenyue?" I'm here, don't let her come to see me? β
Fu Qinglian was silent for a moment and replied: "She has already left the palace, and the imperial brother is afraid that she will not be able to see her." β
"Gone? Where did it go? You drove him away? Fu Beixing was a little excited.
"Let's go back to the Valley of the Divine Doctor." Fu Beixing's face was slightly lonely. He also wanted to know what was going on with Hua Shenyue at the moment.
"I said, Brother Lian, why did you suddenly get sick, it turned out that you had lovesickness." Fu Beixing couldn't help but tease him.
"Brother Huang laughed." Fu Qinglian was busy denying it.
"You obviously care but you have to pretend not to care, Brother Lian, what are you thinking? If you really like it, wouldn't it be nice to marry it directly? Fu Beixing was puzzled.
"Brother Huang, why is it difficult to be strong." Fu Qinglian smiled bitterly.
"You'll regret it later." Fu Beixing hated iron and steel, this stupid brother.
β¦β¦
Since the last incident, Meng Hongyi has obviously restrained a lot, and his attitude towards his subordinates has improved.
However, she doesn't have time to go out to show off her power now, she was ordered by Fu Qinglian to be grounded, and she copied Buddhist scriptures every day, but she was a lot of peace.
Fu Qinglian deliberately cut off her contact with the outside world, and by the way, intercepted many letters exchanged between the maid Cuihua and the outside world.
"Lord, this girl is like this, could this be instigated by the princess? Either to execute her in private. Chen Shi asked Fu Qinglian's opinion.
"Meng Hongyi is just jealous, and there are some things that have nothing to do with her." Fu Qinglian has a clear heart.
"Next, it's time to act, how's the arrangement?"
"Everything is in order, and it won't be long before there are results. Lord, can you ask the emperor for instructions before leaving? β
"No, it's not the first time like this, just go and go back, you don't have to make a big deal." Fu Qinglian gently teased the bird in the cage.
"Or, bring more guards, it's safer." Chen Shi chattered.
Fu Qinglian put down his things and pressed Chen Shi's shoulder: "This matter has been decided, this kind of thing, the fewer people the better, you don't want to make trouble for me anymore." "It's rare for Fu Qinglian to have such a gentle time, since Hua Shenyue left, Fu Qinglian's whole person has become a little colder.
"By the way, the princess hasn't been back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time, let her go back to live for a few days." Fu Qinglian said.
"Why is that?" Chen Shi was puzzled.
"Someone can't eat, can't sit still, we have to give something to eat."
β¦β¦
"What, the prince allowed me to go out?" Meng Hongyi hurriedly put down the pen in his hand.
"Yes, you'll be allowed to go back to the house for a few days." Cuihua looked happy.
"According to the slave maid, this is the prince admitting his mistake with you, but he didn't say it explicitly."
Meng Hongyi was very helpful to this sentence, and there was a smile on his face, "What about Hua Shenyue?" How's it going? β
Cuihua looked embarrassed, she didn't know how to say to Meng Hongyi.
"If you have something to say, say it."
"Hua Shenyue disappeared that night, and the slave maid went to investigate, but she didn't find anything, as if someone had deliberately hidden it."
"Didn't come back?"
"Nope." Cuihua replied immediately.
Hearing this, Meng Hongyi was relieved, no matter what, Hua Shenyue had already left the palace, so it would not pose a threat to her, as for Fu Qinglian, after a while, she would forget about this woman, and at that time, her Meng Hongyi's opportunity would come.
"When are you going home?" Meng Hongyi remembered what was going on.
"I'm preparing, and I'll be able to go home tomorrow."
"Prepare more things that my father and mother love to eat, so I can take them back."
"The slave understands."
Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Meng Zhendong and his wife waited at the gate early, waiting for Meng Hongyi to come back.
In the distance, a carriage slowly drove here, and Meng Zhendong showed a happy expression.
Meng Hongyi got down from the carriage and saluted the two of them: "Father and mother are fine." β
"Kid, get up." The Prime Minister's wife was very happy to see her daughter return. The three of them kept greeting at the door.
Cuihua still said: "Master, madam, it's windy outside, let's go in and say." β
Meng Zhendong slapped his head, why did he forget this.
Fu Qinglian did not come back with Meng Hongyi this time, Meng Zhendong was a little puzzled, this Fu Qinglian was not even willing to do superficial work, but it was not necessarily, there was no trace of abnormality on his daughter's face.
Meng Zhendong put vegetables in Meng Hongyi's bowl: "Good daughter, why are you the only one who came back this time?" What about the king? β
Meng Hongyi was busy eating, and responded casually: "He's busy with official business, I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of me, so let me go home and stay for a few days." β
After finishing the words, he specially added: "Dad, you see, the prince is very good to me." β
"Silly boy." Meng Zhendong teased, but his mind turned around, and he specially called Meng Hongyi back, is there anything he is afraid of being known by Meng Hongyi? Or is he doing something to hide from people?
Meng Zhendong suddenly thought of the fact that a few days ago, an official in the court had written to impeach the Dongcheng County Guard for dereliction of duty and corruption, although this matter was suppressed, it was still eye-catching.
This county guard is under the command of the prime minister, and he even pulled it up, and he helped Meng Zhendong do a lot of things behind his back.
Meng Zhendong suddenly panicked, left the dinner table under the pretext, and beckoned his subordinates.
"Go and check, His Royal Highness King Jing is not in the palace, if he is not there, be sure to find his whereabouts.
"Yes." The subordinate took the order and left.
Meng Zhendong's face couldn't help but be full of sorrow, if this Fu Qinglian really went to investigate this matter, then how many things could he find out, and how much could he get rid of? No, you have to think of your own way out.
Meng Zhendong walked towards the study.
