Chapter 157: Bear the Burden
"By the way, I went to Mingyue Xuan that day and met Baoshan and Xiaobao, and Xiaobao asked me to bring you a letter." took out the slightly wrinkled letter from his arms, and said uneasily, "Why don't you let Baoshan follow you?" Those outside are all strangers, how can they be more loyal than Shangbao. β
Fu Yunqing stuffed the letter into his sleeve and said lightly: "The palace is not as beautiful as outsiders think, in fact, this place is more like a hell that eats people and does not spit out bones. The people who live here are bewitched by the glamour and power, and they don't know how they died in the end. I can't help but come here? How can you bear to implicate them in suffering again? β
These words seem to be bland, but they feel sad when they are carefully tasted. Yes, underneath the gorgeous exterior is the numb and twisted minds of people. Since ancient times, the palace has been like a battlefield without gunsmoke, and everyone is a master of palace fighting. If you miss one move, you will definitely die and have no place to bury.
"In that case, why did you come in the first place?" Although she knew that he had become Fengjun, she didn't know the specific situation.
Thinking of those things, Fu Yunqing was also very helpless, "At that time, the empress refused to ascend the throne, and the court was in chaos. Baili Qianfeng put down her words, unless I am her Fengjun, she will not ascend the throne. β
"Originally, I didn't care about this, how is the world, what does it have to do with me who is the emperor? I'm just an ordinary ordinary person who can't be more ordinary. But King Xiao found me, and he said something to me. β
"What?" looked at him expectantly, but saw him smile bitterly.
"He said, you hurry up and agree, and I can go to Xuan'er right away."
This is indeed his style, domineering and strong. Xia Xiaoxuan didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"So you said yes?" Just for one sentence, for the happiness of others, it's too stupid, right?
"Not only that, even without him, my fate will not change, so why struggle? Since it can't be changed, it's better to fulfill others. β
This is not only a kind of mind, but also a kind of helplessness. Xia Xiaoxuan felt that she owed him a lot, knowing that he was unhappy here, but there was no way to save him.
"Don't talk about me, what are your plans? Shouldn't you really want to marry Gu Yue? β
Fu Yunqing is worthy of being the first son, "You guessed it." She smiled.
He was stunned, his eyes full of disapproval, "Xiaoxuan, I always thought you were a sane person, how could you have such a ridiculous idea?" Do you know how serious this matter is, and the marriage between the two countries is not child's play? β
Crawling on the table with his hands on his cheeks, he said lazily, "I know, but is there a better chance now?" β
Fu Yunqing's face was solemn, and he didn't seem to be able to think of a better way.
"Will King Xiao agree?" This question she has been avoiding, is something really wrong with him?
Thinking of that person, Xia Xiaoxuan was even more depressed, "I hope he doesn't agree, and I want him to come out." β
She may be able to hide it from others, but for Fu Yunqing, she really has nothing to hide.
"Well, if that's what you want, I'll try to help you."
"Thank you, Yunqing." She knew that he didn't want to mix these things, it was all for her, how could a word of thank you be expressed.
Fu Yunqing looked at her sincere eyes, controlled the urge to get close to her, and smiled bitterly, "Compared to him, I can do too little for you." So he lost, and he was convinced. Because his love will never be like that man, boom
Fierce.
β
Yun Qing, take care of yourself. "She can do without anything else, one Xiao Junluo is enough, and she doesn't want more people to be hurt.
Inn
Chu Yuanhao took the information about Xia Xiaoxuan that his subordinates had found, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. It is written that in addition to being the fiancΓ©e of the first emperor to Xiao Junluo, she may also be the lost ninth princess.
"What do you guys think about this?"
At this moment, one is Gu Yue's military advisor, and the other is the spy he planted in Tiansheng, in the name of business, to convey Tiansheng's news back.
"Didn't you say that the ninth princess and her mother were burned to death by the fire? Tiansheng has no princesses to marry? The questioner was a military advisor named Mo Feng, about fifty years old, holding a feather fan in his hand, wearing a scarf on his head, and his eyes shining with wisdom.
"Yes, that's what everyone said, but no one has seen the body of the ninth princess." The person who spoke was in his twenties, named Qin Yang, but he looked suave.
"What can prove that she is the Ninth Princess?" Chu Yuanhao frowned and looked at the two.
The military advisor stroked his beard and smiled, "Does the prince want her to be?" Or do you wish she wasn't? β
Yes, the question is very tangled, if she is, it may break their plan, but if she is not, he will feel a little regretful. Such a smart and lovely woman was something he had never met before. If she were his crown princess, his life wouldn't be so boring, right?
"Bengong, I still want to know the truth."
Qin Yang opened his mouth and said: "I heard that when the ninth princess was born, she had a birthmark of a phoenix feather on her shoulder, so she was named Zihuang and nicknamed Zi'er. β
Zi'er? Is that you?
Early that day, the courtiers waited for a long time in the main hall, but they did not see the emperor coming. The emperor has only been on the throne for a long time, and he has begun to be careless, and it is not good for a woman to be an emperor.
Everyone was dissatisfied, but no one dared to say such a thing.
It wasn't until the end of the morning that Gonggong An came with the news, saying that the emperor was unwell and would not come to the court today.
This kind of thing has been insisted on for three days, and many major events in the court have to be handed over to the regent because the emperor cannot be found, and King Xiao is not in the court.
On this day, everyone came down from the main hall with complaints, and a minister walked up to the prime minister and said disdainfully: "Prime minister, are you really blessed?" raised two sons, one is the royal husband and the other is a side husband, which is really enviable. β
"That's right, how did the prime minister teach it? This good thing also leaves us some chances? β
One by one, the prime minister was ashamed and indignant with mocking words, and he couldn't afford to get sick when he returned home.
After Fengjun got the news, he wanted to go home to visit, so he went to the emperor's bedroom to ask for instructions, but what he saw was the ambiguous behavior of his brother and the empress.
Although he had heard about it for a long time, he just didn't expect them to be so ridiculous.
"Weichen, see Fengjun." Fu Yunxiao's etiquette did not have much sincerity, but there was provocation in his eyes.
"Yunxiao, you don't have to salute him, anyway, he is not unfamiliar with the position of this Fengjun." Baili Tingfeng was lying on the soft couch and enjoying the service of the beautiful men comfortably. Sure enough, after listening to Fu Yunxiao's words, he recruited a few more beautiful men to serve in the palace, but he felt a lot more comfortable.
Fu Yunxiao smiled, walked back to the empress, thoughtfully helped her pinch her legs, and the two of them laughed a few words from time to time, completely
Ignore the man kneeling at the door.
"Your Majesty, my father is unwell, and Yun Qing begged to go back to visit my father." Those who have been neglected, can only plead again.
Fu Yunxiao sneered and looked at the adult at the door, with a look of contempt, "Fengjun, do you know why my father is sick?" β
Naturally, no one answered him, so he replied himself: "Because of you, because you didn't serve the emperor well, and you didn't fulfill the responsibilities of the imperial husband, you even have to work for my eldest brother and me to do my duty for you, do you think my father should be angry?" β
"There's Brother Lao."
is still that indifferent tone, but the angry Baili Qianfeng gritted his teeth. She had expected him to feel a little bit when he saw this scene, even a little bit. As long as he is kind to himself and shows a little weakness, she can drive them all away, and he is the only one by her side. But he didn't, because he didn't care.
"You want to go back, don't you? I'm in a bad mood right now, so you just kneel here and wait, and when I'm in a good mood, I'll agree. β
"The emperor is angry, Fengjun is not in good health, so isn't it the same for the ministers to serve you?" Fu Yunxiao gave a glass of wine with a flattering face, he has completely conquered this woman these days, as long as he likes her, not all women in the world are just as stupid.
"Yunxiao, you are still the most distressed, my back hurts so much, can you help me pinch it?"
"Then let's go to bed."
was also to deliberately anger him, Baili Qianfeng really staged a spring palace drama with Fu Yunxiao in front of him.
Listening to the unbearable sound in his ears, Fu Yunqing chose to close his eyes and ignore it.
The spring light inside is infinite, and the people outside actually knelt until midnight, and even Wang An couldn't bear to see it.
But fortunately, the emperor sent a message and asked him to go home for an hour. What can you do in an hour? To put it nicely, the emperor can't do without him, and to put it mildly, it's house arrest.
However, Fengjun is provincial, and the scene is quite spectacular.
After half a year, it was like a dream to come back again. The happiest are Xiaobao and Baoshan, who are waiting outside the mansion early.
It's just that they didn't have much time, just said a few words, and he went directly to see the prime minister.
Seeing his son come back, the prime minister hurriedly got up from the bed and saluted, because they were not only father and son, but also monarchs and ministers.
Fu Yunqing stepped forward and hurriedly supported his father and stopped him from saluting.
"Father, this is a family, so you don't need to do this big gift."
The prime minister was very persistent, leading the old and young to kneel down together, "Fengjun, this is the etiquette that should be had, and it can't be abolished." β
Fu Yunqing didn't stop it anymore, because he couldn't stop it at all, and he couldn't change anything.
After a group of people had finished saluting, the prime minister kicked everyone else out, leaving only the father and son in the room.
Facing his son, the prime minister was full of guilt, "It's my father who is sorry for you and made you suffer." What I didn't expect was that your eldest brother actually ...... the words behind him, he really couldn't say anything, if there was a son he was proud of, it was the person in front of him. But Fu Yunxiao's existence is his greatest shame.
"Father, don't be angry, everyone has their own fate, and no one can change it." In his indifferent words, he was indifferent and detached from the state of the world, and he did not complain and complain. But the more he did this, the more the prime minister blamed himself.
"Yunqing, the emperor is ...... Is there any embarrassment for you? β
"I'm fine, don't worry, father."
