Chapter 198: Great Reward and Surprise
A delicate face was reflected in the polished bronze mirror, and Fu was sitting in front of the dresser, and she got up slightly closer, and saw a small scar on the right side of her smooth forehead. The wound has been healed for more than a month, but because the wound is too deep, the scar will not heal for a while, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to remove it in the future.
It was originally a small piece, and after healing, the hard scab on the outside also fell off and was very light in color, but her forehead was too smooth and white, and a slight flaw was very obvious. Fu Shi reached out and rubbed it gently, and his fingers felt that the wound was a little hard to heal.
A nameless fire welled up in her heart, angry and distressed. For a beautiful woman, the face is second only to life, and disfiguring her face is more serious than killing her twice! Although he didn't say it, Fu was obviously very concerned about this matter. The emperor made such a scar on her face, and he didn't even apologize at all, and scolded "cheap goods"? The hatred in her heart gradually fermented, and the gratitude and goodwill she had when she first got married a few years ago had been exhausted.
Fu Shi's heart said: It's nothing more than thinking that I was married, not a perfect body.
Is that useless piece of meat more important than a woman's life, conduct, and whole person? It's not that the Fu family has never heard of it in the Fu family and Hezhong Mansion, and some lowly slaves and maids have been quietly toyed with all over their bodies before they get married, and they almost didn't sleep, and that is also a complete body...... Could it be that such a slave or maid is cleaner than a woman who has been rightfully married?
Fu had never slept with anyone, and he had barely touched his fingers. But now she is very disgusted and hated by the strange thoughts of men, and she does not care at all, which is a manifestation of treating women as playthings and possessions. Is a woman not a human being?
She suppressed the anger in her heart. Looking down, he found the prepared paint paper, and gently picked it up with his finger and pasted it on his scar. Then he picked up a brush and gently swept the yellow piece of paper, so that it pressed evenly on his forehead.
After a while, she tore off the yellow flower, and in the mirror, she saw a yellow plum blossom shape on her white forehead. It doesn't look very accustomed, but it doesn't seem to be ugly, but it makes her simple outfit a little more charming...... And the scar can't be seen unless you look closely.
Fu Shi looked in the mirror for a long time, slightly satisfied, and put the annoyance and depression just now into his mind. In fact, she and her second sister are the same person in their bones, and they are more optimistic. If you weren't optimistic and didn't think about it yourself, it is estimated that you would have been anxious all day long, and you wouldn't be complacent now.
Her crooked eyes finally began to smile again.
At this moment, the eunuch Cao Tai entered and directly beckoned the palace maids in the palace to retreat. Seeing that the queen was speechless, those palace maids listened to Cao Tai's words and walked out of the palace gate. At this time, Cao Taicai bowed down and said: "The Privy Council transferred the left wing of the guard Si Hujie to Qizhou, Hebei, and left Beijing before September, and the guard Sima Budu waited for Guo Shao to be the main general. The queen's sister sent someone to the palace gate and sent a message that she wanted to go back to the daimyo's mansion for a while to say goodbye to the queen. ”
Fu Shi was slightly stunned, and quickly straightened out the relationship between these things.
She only said, "I see." ”
Cao Tai said at the right time: "That...... Slave retirement? ”
Fu Shi said again: "You arrange, I want to go out of the palace to the Fu family's house, and I saw the second sister last time; Sent someone to summon the second sister, I practiced for her, and I also wanted to tell her a few words and bring a few words of greetings to my father. ”
"Do you want to summon Guo Shao together?" Cao Tai asked quietly.
Fu was a little hesitant. She can't forget the scene of being wounded last time, and she is also deeply impressed by other irrelevant things that happened that time; When the emperor met, he knew where she had gone and who she had met.
No matter how bold she was, she was a little scared when she thought about it, so she immediately said, "No need." ”
Cao Tai bowed down and replied, "Oh." With that, he quietly withdrew from the dormitory.
Fu Shi sat quietly on the cushion on the stool, feeling an uncontrollable throbbing of his right eyelid, and his thoughts, which had just eased and calmed down, were again upset.
With her understanding of Chai Rong, Chai Rong's desire for the Northern Expedition to collect the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun has reached the point of almost madness, and he dreams of becoming a generation of emperors who are as famous as Tang Taizong or even surpass the Ming Jun in history. Therefore, Fu Shi judged that this transfer should not be out of infighting, judging from his past performance, Guo Shao is a very valuable celebrity; At the critical juncture of the Northern Expedition and the time of employing people, it was impossible for Chai Rong to take Guo Shao's hands...... This is also why Guo Shao and Zhao Kuangyin have a big conflict, and Chai Rong also wants to protect both sides.
However, will Guo Shao stay in other towns after the Northern Expedition?
The example of Lee Chongjin is the worst situation; In addition, it may be that the emperor has no other intentions, and will leave the general of the guard to lead the troops. For example, Han Lingkun, the commander of the guards and Ma Jun, has still taken the right wing of Long Jiejun and some partial divisions in Xiacai Town, Shouzhou, and it has been more than half a year, and it may be called back because of the Northern Expedition in the near future.
In case Guo Shao left Beijing this time, he was stranded in another town...... That's quite bad for the Fu family!
In case things change, she won't be able to use troops in Tokyo. Her prestige and fame in the forbidden army are one thing, for example, some small things are easy to handle, and the generals of the forbidden army and the ministers of the court are willing to sell their personal favors; But when it comes to the actual use of soldiers, it's a different matter. It must be a completely trustworthy and powerful general to be with her at a critical juncture.
This person is only Guo Shao! Her brother-in-law, who was willing to give his life to her son-in-law, controlled 20,000 elites in the left wing of the Hujie army. It's simply the most important person...... If there is no reliable strength support from Guo Shao, no matter how she lays out, her heart will be empty.
......There was a small sound, and a gust of wind poured in from outside, blowing the purple curtains and rubbing the sound of silk fabrics.
At this time, Fu Shi found that the wind was getting cooler and colder, and a chill suddenly appeared on his body. She suddenly felt very frightened in her heart...... Fear of the future.
She had heard and seen a lot of things. From the moment the order collapses, all kinds of crazy unimaginable things can happen, such as what I have heard, during the chaos in Hebei, the Khitans and the rebels have arrested women, regardless of your background and status, first rape, adultery, sexuality, abuse, and entertainment, and then cook and eat alive. There are many more tragic things that have happened, and when they are reduced to fish and meat, it will definitely be better to live than to die, and what dignity can be taken into account?
She is the queen, and if she fails, she will only be quietly killed. But what exactly will be treated before killing, no one knows...... The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is, and if she is an ordinary-looking old woman, she may be fine. At that time, I am afraid that the only way to overcome the fear of death is to summon up the courage to overcome the fear of death and make up my own mind.
Fu Shi felt that he was constantly being intimidated, and that inexplicable threat was very subtle but clearly felt.
She looked back at herself in the bronze mirror, how to look at the yellow plum blossoms on her forehead, how she was not used to it, and some negative emotions stimulated the crazy desire in her heart...... Can't experience the kind of happiness described by the second sister until he dies? If people are going to die, what can not be done!
Fu Ermei's detailed description of the numbness and transcendence of life and death...... Fu Shi boldly fantasized in his heart: he would exchange identities like last time, get rid of the golden cicada, and then arrange a private meeting with Guo Shao......
Thinking of this, Fu's face was already flushed.
It took her a while to finally come to her senses, which was too dangerous. Even if she is not afraid of death, she always has to take care of so many people in the Dianfu family...... And she is actually a person who is very afraid of death.
Fu Shi sat in silence for a long time with his neck straightened and expressionlessly in front of the bronze mirror, took a long breath, and quickly re-planned a more practical approach.
"Someone." Fu Shi shouted without looking back.
A palace lady came in and curtsied and said, "What does the queen have to say?" ”
Fu said: "Go and call someone and arrange for two imperial doctors to follow me out of the palace." ”
…… Or the house in the west of the city. didn't summon Guo Shao, and sure enough, he personally sent Fu Ermei over by car. Fu Shi avoided it and only asked someone to receive him in the outer courtyard.
The second sister was a little reluctant, but Fu's performance was much more ruthless. She didn't say goodbye to the second sister, but only called someone to pass the imperial doctor to come in and check the pulse of the second sister through the curtain.
"I'm fine, there's nothing uncomfortable about me!" The second sister seems to be very resistant to being taken by others.
Fu Shi persuaded: "Let Lang Zhong take a look and he won't ask you to take medicine." It's not about whether you're sick, it's about whether you're pregnant. ”
The second sister blushed when she heard this: "If I have it, I know." ”
Fu said: "You have to stay in your mother's house for so long. It would be good if she was pregnant now, because she had been in the Guo family since she got married; If you are not pregnant, you will not be able to conceive for a while...... Do you understand what the eldest sister means? ”
The second sister was a little angry, and said angrily: "Eldest sister, you said that I seem to be stealing men, hum!" Even my husband doesn't worry about me. ”
Fu said: "I am from the second sister's mother's family, of course I have to think for you." ”
The second sister complained: "The eldest sister thinks so much, we didn't think of going up at all." ”
After playing with the pulse, the imperial doctor affirmed that he didn't see anything.
Fu Shi retreated and whispered to the second sister: "You go out in a while, bring a few words to Brother Shao'er." ”
"What?"
Fu Shi pondered for a moment, and then whispered: "When you let him go on the Northern Expedition, you must not disappoint the official family; In addition, after the war, we must find a way to return to Tokyo, or strive to return to Tokyo at any cost. ”
The second sister looked puzzled: "What does the eldest sister mean?" ”
Fu said: "There are some things you don't understand, just tell Guo Shao, and he will understand." These words can only be known to the three of us, and you don't tell anyone else, the stakes are high. If you have to believe the words of the eldest sister, can I still treat you badly? ”
The second sister nodded very firmly after hearing this: "Of course I believe the eldest sister's words the most." ”
Fu Shi pursed his lips and whispered again: "You tell him...... If you do what I said, I will reward him when I return to Beijing. ”
"What kind of reward?" Second Sister Fu suddenly became interested, but she was unsuspecting.
Fu's voice trembled a little, as if he was suppressing some great emotion, but his tone was still so soothing and rhythmic: "It's the kind of reward we had when we met in the Fu family's mansion last time, even more than that...... He'll get a big surprise. You tell him that, and he knows what it is. ”
The second sister frowned slightly: "The eldest sister is talking back and forth." Well, I asked him myself to go. ”
