On the way home from the palace. Zhang Fan was still thinking about Zhu Yijun's bitter melon-like little face. It's funny in my heart. I can't help but feel a little emotional.

But now. It's a foregone conclusion. No matter how hard Zhu Yijun begged. Or that this matter was instructed by Concubine Li Guifei. It was still Feng Bao's request. In a word. He couldn't change anything. Zhu Yijun doesn't even like it anymore. No matter how nasty it is. Or be scared. And then for a long time. Feng Bao will appear next to him.

For this. From the perspective of being a human being. Zhang Fan really felt that Zhu Yijun was a little pitiful. However, he ignored the pity of Zhu Yijun, a child. And take advantage of it. It's really a bit of a "beast".

But the thought didn't stay in his mind for long. Soon. Zhang Fan found a reason for himself. Now that things are already like this. Then he Zhang Fanli doesn't use it. And why not.

And because of Zhu Yijun. After Zhang Fan's play was performed. The results are remarkable. It worked almost immediately. Zhang Fan doesn't have to guess carefully. knows that Zhu Yijun will rely on himself even more in the future.

Doesn't Zhu Yijun like to see Ruan Er very much? Zhang Fan felt that maybe he could put some effort into this matter. After all, the days to come. Zhu Yijun has Feng Bao by his side. I want to leave the palace without permission. It's almost impossible. Zhang Fan began to think in his heart. Maybe he can arrange for Zhu Yijun and Ruan Er to meet. Of course. The process is bound to be very "difficult".

Speaking of which. With this time, Zhang Fan was kidnapped by Fang Yueling. Ruan Er's original suspicions have been completely cleared. Zhang Fan no longer has to worry about whether she will have some purpose. Someone sent it.

Now. Although there are many things going on in the imperial court. Long Qing was sick. The high arch is also even crazier. But for Zhang Fan. There's really nothing going on with him during this time.

What Zhang Fan has to do now. It is to turn all his energy into dealing with the affairs of the southwest.

Transaction with Fang Yueling. The starting point is about his father Fang Zhenqian. For today's Zhang Fan. The poison of the "Five Immortal Honeydew" in Yingyue's body has been completely lifted. Zhang Fan doesn't care too much about these things. The only reason that allowed Zhang Fan to carry out the transaction with Fang Yueling was to carry it out. Except that his life was being threatened by Fang Yueling at that time. The only way to do this is to pull out the rebel forces in the southwest.

Now. Zhang Fan had already ordered the withdrawal of the men and horses sent to the southwest. Only a handful of people who can be sure that their identities will not be revealed are left there. In case anything changes. But what should be the next step. Zhang Fan didn't have a plan at all.

Originally. Fang Yueling left after negotiating with him. When leaving. Fang Yueling didn't even leave a way to contact her. Just say there's news. She will find a way to contact Zhang Fan.

Therefore. Zhang Fan, who is not very familiar with the southwest side. will follow her plan. Evacuate all the men and horses.

What exactly should be the next step? It also depends on what kind of news Fang Yueling can give Zhang Fan at that time.

Come to think of it. Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel a little happy. That illustrates. At least in the recent past. Zhang Fan was also able to rest and rest. This is for Zhang Fan, who has not recovered from a serious injury. Nature is precious time.

The next period of time. Zhang Fan was so leisurely. Because Feng Bao is by Zhu Yijun's side. Although Zhang Fan still goes to the East Palace every day to teach Zhu Yijun. But nowadays. Zhang Fan won't stay there for long. It's almost over and leaves.

This is to make Zhu Yijun anxious. Now Feng Bao is in Zhu Yijun and has not woken up. The man has arrived. Almost all the time of the day was around Zhu Yijun. And Zhu Yijun can't do anything about it. Even if he's something. But Feng Bao would never buy his account.

And so. Zhang Fan came here every morning to teach him for this short period of time. It is almost the time when Zhu Yijun is the happiest. Because only in this short. In less than two hours. Feng Baocai will not be present. Zhu Yijun can have a relaxation.

For Zhang Fan, he came every day and left after teaching. Although Zhu Yijun was very disliked. But he couldn't say anything about it either. Zhu Yijun, who didn't know the truth, thought that Zhang Fan was the same as him. It is also the fear of Feng Bao that will be like this.

In this way. Zhu Yijun also looked at Feng Bao even more terrifyingly. And the hatred for him in my heart is also deeper. And for Zhang Fan. Zhu Yijun also agreed more.

For these things. Zhang Fan is all in his eyes. But he never said anything. He never commented on it on a regular basis. At best, unconsciously. Give Zhu Yijun some words with guidance and suggestiveness. Where can Zhu Yijun, who doesn't rhyme with the world, understand what Zhang Fan is thinking in his heart. In his opinion. Zhang Fan is a person who is wholeheartedly good for himself.

And so it went by for a few days. During this time. It was Zhang Fan's most comfortable day. Know one night. Zhang Fan, who went back to his room to rest, heard something.

Now Zhang Fan's injuries can basically be regarded as healing. The complexion has also returned to its rosiness. Two wounds on the shoulder. As long as it's not hard to slap. I didn't feel any pain at all. It's just a little itchy on weekdays.

After dinner. Teasing your two children. Let's see if it's getting dark. Zhang Fan also planned to go back to rest.

Just passing by the atrium. The sound of two maids chewing their tongues was heard.

"You damn girl. You can't find death if you want to. ”

A somewhat impatient female voice came into Zhang Fan's ears. He couldn't help but stop around the corner. He recognized the voice. It is Ru Xue's personal maid He'er.

"Sister He'er is scaring her sister again." A still immature female voice sounded outside the two. "Now it's a thing. The people of the house who do not know. ”

Zhang Fan also recognized this voice. It's a maid who helps Xiangmei in the backyard. Her name is Lan'er. It's just that Zhang Fan is not too familiar with her.

Originally. What do the people say? Zhang didn't have to listen to anything. Besides. The other party is a woman again. or two unmarried women. It's nothing to whisper when you meet together. Zhang Fan was also reluctant to eavesdrop on his daughter's family. I think it's a cliché like that of the maid's secret promise. Zhang Fan was not interested in this.

It's just that. Lan'er's words below. Let Zhang Fan stop.

"This thing. It's already spread in the house. The only one who doesn't know. I'm afraid it's the old man and the old lady. Lan'er said rather mysteriously. I heard that even Mrs. Ru Xue, who has always had a good temper. It's also a little dissatisfied. ”

I heard Lan'er mention Ru Xue's name. Zhang Fan couldn't help but stop. I can't help but want to know. What exactly are they talking about?

"That's what I said. But......" He'er's voice hesitated. "But after all, this is a matter of Madame's house. Where is it our turn to talk nonsense about those of us who are maids? In case someone else knows. Broken rules. If you are kicked out, how can you live? ”

"Oops. Sister He'er. Rest assured. There are no outsiders here. Lan'er began to speak in a coquettish tone. It's just my sister's curiosity. Tell my sister. ”

"Alas. It's really okay to take you little girl. He'er sighed. But that's exactly what happened. Madame has a good heart. Never say anything. But I occasionally see Madame sitting alone by the window and sighing. It's fine when the old man is not at home during the day. It's like that at night. I felt uncomfortable looking at it. ”

Zhang Fan heard her say this. I thought something had happened to Ru Xue. I just want to go over and ask for clarification. But Lan'er went on next. Stopped him.

"Isn't it? Soon after the lady gave birth to a son and a young lady. That's it. It's sad to think about it, of course. Lan'er also sighed. A passerby's tone. "But I've heard Sister Zhu'er, who serves the second lady, say it. The second lady has not been happy lately. ”

"Isn't it?" Lotus chimed in. "The second lady won't say anything. Besides. What woman has a good time in her heart when she encounters this kind of thing. ”

"Ugh." Lan'er continued to sigh. "I've heard people say it a lot. Marrying into a big family is not necessarily a good thing. At that time, I thought that they couldn't eat grapes and said that grapes were sour. Now it seems that this is really the case. ”

Zhang Fan heard this. I can't listen to it anymore. Take a step. Walked over.

Footsteps are heard. The two maids hurriedly looked back. I saw that it was Zhang Fan. They were all taken aback. Hurriedly leaned over and greeted: "Hello, master." ”

Zhang Fan looked at the two maids. He asked, "What were you talking about?" What's wrong with the lady and the second lady. ”

Seeing that Zhang Fan heard the words of the two of them. The two little girls were terrified. The Zhang family has never been interested in kneeling. At this time, both of them "plopped". knelt in front of Zhang Fan together.

"Sir. It's not good to be a slave. Don't talk nonsense. Please don't drive us away. ”

Zhang Fan listened to what they said. Especially the appearance of pear blossoms with rain. Immediately I couldn't stand it.

"You two go first." Zhang Fan said. "Make things clear to me."

The two girls heard Zhang Fan say this. Still afraid to stand up.

"How. Don't you want to say. Zhang Fan said with a frown. If you do. I acted as if nothing had happened. Don't talk about it, it's a question again. ”

Heard Zhang Fan say this. The two stood up. He hesitated to speak. His voice was still a little shaky.

I listened to them. Zhang Fan didn't feel worried. It's helpless.

"I'm not going to say anything about it." Zhang Fan said. "If others want to pass it on, they will pass it on. But you two don't make a fuss about it anymore. Go ahead. ”

"Yes. Master. Thank you, sir. The two little girls heard Zhang Fan say this. Hurry up and say thank you. Walked away quickly.

Watching the two leave. Zhang Fan sighed helplessly. Continue walking towards Yingyue's room.

"Brother Fan. You're here. I saw Zhang Fan push open the door and walk in. Yingyue immediately greeted him. Lead him to the edge of the bed and sit down. Untie his clothes. A wound on the left shoulder is exposed. "Does it still hurt?"

"Just don't touch it. Naturally, it doesn't hurt anymore. Zhang Fan replied.

"I don't know what kind of medicine Fang Yueling used for Brother Fan." Yingyue said happily. "But it really works. It's not even ten days. Such a heavy wound is already scarred. It doesn't look like it will take a few days. Brother Fan's wound. Even if you bump into it. Nothing more. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Fan's words to Yingyue. Didn't answer much. Just that's how I responded. Nod your head and forget it.

Seeing Zhang Fan's lukewarm attitude. Yingyue couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Fan." What's wrong with you. Did you encounter something unhappy? It's fine tonight when we eat. Why ...... now?"

"......" said to the moon. Zhang Fan didn't say anything. Or rather, I don't know what to say.

"Brother Fan. What the hell is going on. Yingyue helped Zhang Fan scrub his wounds. He asked. "Is there anything you can't say to Yingyue? Or rather. What did Yingyue do again. Brother Fan was upset. ”

"It's not because of you. It's ......" Zhang Fan quickly denied it. But I couldn't speak anymore.

"What the hell is that?" Yingyue continued to ask.

Originally. Zhang Fan's matter. Especially business. Yingyue never asked. But. That's also because. Zhang Fan never brings the troubles he encounters outside into his home. No matter what troubles Zhang Fan encountered outside. As soon as he gets home. I never show any sadness because of this. Always smiling.

Now. Zhang Fan will look like this. Yingyue understood in her heart. It must have been because of what was going on at home. It made him unhappy.

"Nothing." Zhang Fan said. "Just now. When I came over. On the way, I heard two maids chewing their tongues. ”

Heard Zhang Fan say this. Yingyue immediately understood in her heart. She is also a member of the Zhang Mansion who lives. Although she can't talk about the big and small things in the house, she knows everything well. But there are many things. She understands that too.

In the recent period. Zhang Fan's subordinates are indeed passing on something. Yingyue is Zhang Fan's concubine. How could you not know?

"Aren't they talking about it? My concubine takes up your lord's time. Yingyue looked funny. Said. "These days. Brother Fan, you are here except for me. I haven't been to Sister Ru Xue or Sister Ling'er. To put it mildly. It's me, the vixen, who fascinates you, Brother Fan. "Speaking of which. Yingyue didn't care at all that these words were demeaning to her. The smile on his face was even worse. It was as if she was proud to be called a "vixen".

"Of course not. How did they say that? Zhang Fan hurriedly said. Even if he understood. That's what the maids in the house actually mean. But Zhang Fan's words came out. I saw the smile on Yingyue's face. He couldn't help but be confused. I said. Yue'er. Why aren't you angry at all. It looks pretty much fun. It's hard for you. At...... Glad. ”

"Hehehe." Yingyue chuckled. Speak. "Of course I'm happy. Brother Fan, you. I still don't understand the mind of a woman's family. But any woman who is called a 'vixen'. Naturally, I was unhappy in my heart. But that's only in front of people. To know the human queen. Maybe they're still rejoicing in their hearts. ”

Listen to her. Zhang Fan was a little speechless. The so-called "needle in a woman's heart". But although I understand the truth of this sentence. But Zhang Fan still can't understand what this strange "creature" like a woman is thinking about all day long.

"Still. Now the word is out. There's nothing wrong with that. Yingyue said. Isn't that what happened. This time. Brother Fan doesn't come to Yue'er every night to spend the night. Who did this see. I thought I was hooked on you. ”

Zhang Fan heard her say this. I thought that this was indeed the case. I couldn't help but sigh again.

In fact, this is not what Zhang Fan thinks. Zhang Fan is not a person who favors one over the other. For his three women. In fact, he still prefers Ru Xue more. But that's how it is today. Zhang Fan himself had no choice.

The news that Zhang Fan was kidnapped by Fang Yueling that day. No one outside of Jinyiwei knows much about this. Not to mention for family members who care about themselves. Zhang Fan naturally concealed it more strictly. I didn't dare to let them know at all.

Come to think of it. even knew that Zhang Fan was kidnapped. And it's not completely impossible for Zhang Fan to be injured in his heart. When I saw Zhang Fan's wounds. They almost screamed out loud. What's more, it's Ru Xue and Luo Ling'er, two women who are too submissive. If only they had seen it. You can't cry yet. At that time, I'm afraid that the whole Zhang Mansion will know.

And this is what Zhang Fan is most afraid of. The last thing he wanted was for his mother, Zhao, to know that he was seriously injured. He almost died.

So. In order to be able to keep this "secret". Zhang Fan only chose to stay here in Yingyue every night. Wait until the wound is completely healed. I dared to go to Ru Xue and Luo Ling'er.

But I didn't expect it. This look. And that's just less than ten days. There are already rumors of this kind in the family.

The so-called no wind and no waves. Zhang Fan naturally wouldn't believe it. These are just those maids in the family who dare to spread it out without permission. There must be a reason for things.

And just now. A conversation between Horr and Lan'er. I told him too. The reason is naturally on Ru Xue and Luo Ling'er.

Because the words and deeds of the second daughter on weekdays are still the same as usual. But in private. But he was looked at by the maid. Passed out.

After learning about it. Of course, Zhang Fan was very uncomfortable in his heart. His original intention in doing this was not to make Ru Xue and Luo Ling'er sad. But now it seems. It's not so good. Ru Xue and Luo Ling'er were obviously caught in another sullen situation.

on this. Zhang Fan really felt a little sad. However, what made him feel even more sad was that. Now he knows about it. But there was nothing he could do.

"But let me see. Brother Fan should be happy. Yingyue said suddenly.

"Happy." Zhang Fan was puzzled. "Ru Xue and Ling'er are not happy. I'm still so happy. ”

"But Brother Fan should think so." Yingyue finished cleaning Zhang Fan's wounds. While helping him get dressed. He said with a smile. This illustrates. Sister Ru Xue and Sister Ling'er. I really care about Brother Fan. ”

"That's a good thing to say. But ......" Zhang Fan's brows did not stretch. "But it makes people who care so much about themselves so sad. This is even more undeserved. ”

"Alas. I can't talk about you. Yingyue sighed slightly. But the good thing. Brother Fan, your wound is almost healed. It is estimated that it will be three days and five days. The scar of the knot is gone. I can't see it. Until that time. Brother Fan has to make up for it, and he will do it for his sister. ”

"It's nature. It's just ......," Zhang Fan said here. hesitated. "It's just how I'm supposed to talk to them."

"It's not easy." Zhang Fan's troubles looked at Yingyue. It's not a problem at all. "Brother Fan doesn't have to say anything at all."

"It's not good." Zhang Fan didn't think so. "I know. Even I don't say anything. Ru Xue and Ling'er would never ask me anything out of their way. But really don't say anything. I'm afraid it's ...... again."

"Then it's up to me, the 'vixen', to say it." Yingyue said with a smile. "Rest assured. I'm not going to tell the truth. Just say ......"

"How's that going to work?" Yingyue's words were not finished. was interrupted by Zhang Fan. "It started from start to finish. It's all because of me. How can you let Yue'er carry the black pot for me. ”

Heard Zhang Fan say this. Yingyue's eyes suddenly showed a happy look. She was back then. Affected by her sister's tragic experience. I once vowed never to trust any man in this world again. Even Zhang Fan. The two of them are only because of mutual use. and the desperation of the grim situation.

But. Now Yingyue has no regrets. Zhang Fan is indeed a man worthy of her love. Even if she's not his only woman.

Yingyue, who already feels very happy. Now I hear Zhang Fan say this. Knowing that he even asked her to tell a little lie. On the back of a handle that doesn't matter at all. I don't want to do this kind of little thing. How could Yingyue's heart not feel happy.

"Don't worry. Brother Van. Yingyue comforted. It's okay. These are the little things that parents are short about. Even if you let the maids talk about it. Nothing. Not to mention. The two sisters, Ru Xue and Ling'er, are not so stingy people. Yingyue is also 'sincere' to 'apologize'. Where is the problem. ”

"Yue'er ......" Zhang Fan was completely speechless at this time. I can only shout softly to reflect the moon.

"Alright. The hour is not early. Yingyue looked out the window. Said. "Although Brother Fan's injury is no longer a big deal. But it's time to rest early. Even if you don't go to court tomorrow. I have to get up early and go to the palace to teach the prince. ”

Zhang Fan didn't seem to hear Yingyue's words at all. He took her into his arms.

"Van ...... Brother Van. "For Zhang Fan's sudden move. Yingyue was a little surprised. "Your injuries are not healed. Or ...... later."

"Don't worry about those things." Zhang Fan said. has pressed Yingyue under him. "Now is the time for me to love and love my good moon."
