Chapter 172: Incense and Signing
Fu Yunshen didn't expect Zhou Jingrong to come back so early, and asked, "Why did you come back so early, didn't things go well?" ”
Zhou Jingrong shook his head, and just wanted to talk to Fu Yunshen about the strange thing that someone had followed them, but he saw a slight gloom between his eyebrows, and asked instead: "Why are you worried, what happened?" ”
Fu Yunshen sighed slightly, pulled Zhou Jingrong to his side, and said slowly: "I originally thought that if Pei Yu hadn't died, the Ling family would have survived, after all, Ling Xie's incident did not implicate her. But now that Ling committed suicide, I have some doubts about my previous speculation. But thinking of what Ling Xie said at the end, I felt that he meant something, that is, Pei Yu would make a comeback. I couldn't figure it out, and I was at a loss. ”
Zhou Jingrong touched Fu Yunshen's face, and said softly with relief: "This matter can't be fruited just by thinking, so don't think too much." As long as we are fully prepared, we can deal with any storms in the future. ”
Fu Yunshen nodded when he heard this, and his eyebrows stretched.
Zhou Jingrong remembered what happened just now, and said strangely: "Speaking of which, we encountered a strange thing on the street just now, Shifeng said that someone was following us. Who could it be, you say? ”
Fu Yun's deep eyes lit up, and he muttered: "The Fu family is in the limelight, it is inevitable that some people have bad intentions, you need to be very careful when you enter and exit in the future." ”
Zhou Jingrong said with a smile: "There is the wind of the world to follow, and my fist and foot skills are not bad!" ”
Zhou Jingrong said, proudly showing Fu Yunshen his muscles that didn't exist, which made Fu Yunshen spoil and laugh helplessly.
While the two were talking and laughing, Qi Ruyan suddenly ran in in a hurry, with a frightened face, and his words were not good: "He, he's back!" He won't let me go! ”
Zhou Jingrong hurriedly got up and hugged Qi Ruyan, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”
Qi Ruyan held up a note, his eyes full of horror.
Zhou Jingrong took the note, and saw a few big words written on it, you dare to betray me, I won't let you go!
The sentence on the note was very threatening, which made Zhou Jingrong startled, and hurriedly asked Qi Ruyan, "Who gave this to you?" ”
Qi Ruyan was frightened, and shook her head again and again: "I don't know, this note is placed in the jewelry box." ”
Zhou Jingrong heard this, and subconsciously looked at Fu Yunshen. Fu Yunshen seemed to think of a place with her, and nodded slightly at her.
Zhou Jingrong asked Qi Ruyan again: "Do you think this is given to you by Pei Yu, so you are so panicked?" Then if you look closely, is this his handwriting? ”
After Zhou Jingrong's reminder, Qi Ru calmed down and remembered to recognize the handwriting.
She took the note, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said with some confusion: "This is not his handwriting, but if it weren't for him, who would write me such a note?" ”
Zhou Jingrong thought for a moment and asked, "When did you receive this note?" ”
Qi Ruyan shook his head and said, "I don't know, when I came back, I found that this note was already in the jewelry box." ”
Zhou Jingrong comforted Qi Ruyan and said: "Don't be afraid, this note may not be for you, and whoever misplaced it may not be able to say." Pei Yu is dead, and there may be his loyal people who want to seek revenge on you, but the Fu Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are martial arts masters in charge, so you don't have to worry. ”
Qi Ruyan was comforted by Zhou Jingrong and breathed a sigh of relief. Fu Yunshen called Fu Yu again and asked him to strengthen the guards of Qi Ruyan's residence.
Qi Ruyan thanked him before leaving.
After Qi Ruyan left, Zhou Jingrong's smile dissipated, and he said to Fu Yunshen seriously: "Your guess is not wrong, Pei Yu is still alive, and he is in the city, and he should be the one who is following us today." ”
Otherwise, no one other than him would threaten Qi Ruyan like this.
Fu Yunshen hugged Zhou Jingrong, and deeply felt that it was good to have someone who could empathize with him: "Well, I'll go to the prince and strengthen the patrol in the city, Pei Yu may still be in the city." ”
The crown prince is responsible for guarding the capital, and it is not difficult to strengthen the patrol, and he sent people to secretly look for Pei Yu's traces, but he never found anything.
Although Pei Yu was not found, the prince, Fu Yunshen and others did not dare to take it lightly and were still on guard.
Although Qi Ruyan's mood has broadened a lot, because of Pei Yu's incident, she can only stay at home.
Wei Chirou asked Zhou Jingrong to accompany her to Xiangguo Temple to offer incense, Zhou Jingrong originally wanted to take Qi Ruyan out for a walk, but she couldn't make the trip.
However, Lin Shutong also wanted to go to the incense before getting married in the morning, so he walked with the two.
Lin Shutong had a lot of complaints about her because of Wei Chirou's identity. But who would have thought that she would be a pearl left behind in the General's Mansion, and now she has become a quasi-princess, and all the women respect her.
Lin Shutong was very surprised, so when facing Wei Chirou, he seemed a little uncomfortable.
Wei Chirou smiled generously: "In the future, we will be a family, so we don't have to be so formal." ”
Lin Shutong let go a little bit.
The three of them talked and laughed all the way, and soon came to Xiangguo Temple. After worshipping the Buddha and offering incense, they asked for a sign again, and went to the master to solve the sign.
On the way, Lin Shutong smiled at Zhou Jingrong and asked, "Second sister-in-law, what are you asking for?" Isn't it asking for a child? ”
Lin Shutong covered his mouth and chuckled, originally wanting to tease Zhou Jingrong, but Zhou Jingrong's face remained unchanged, and he replied: "If you ask this, you must also want to ask for this in your heart." You haven't married yet, so you want to open up branches for the son, if the son knows, he will be happy! ”
Lin Shutong is a little girl who has no experience in the world, her face is not as thick as Zhou Jingrong, and she can't tease people, but she blushes first.
The two of them suddenly made a mess, and Yu Chirou looked at the two people who were talking like children, and laughed helplessly.
A man's voice suddenly sounded in front of him: "Minister, Chen Jinghuai, see Her Royal Highness the Princess-to-be." ”
When Lin Shutong saw someone, he hurriedly suppressed his laughter, tidied up his clothes a little, and stood in a regular manner with an unsmiling appearance.
Zhou Jingrong did not shy away from it, and directly looked at Chen Jinghuai who was kneeling in front of him unscrupulously.
The reason why Chen Jinghuai was able to clear up the disasters that Ling Xie implicated in the whole door was all because of his ability to fall into the well.
When the matter came, he stabbed Ling Xie with his backhand, and stood up as a tainted witness to testify against Ling Xie's many crimes.
Therefore, the crown prince tried his best to keep him from being implicated by Ling Xie, and also kept his official position.
Zhou Jingrong was very puzzled, not to mention that the bad things that Chen Jinghuai did for Ling Xie were enough for him to get the punishment he deserved, let's just say that Chen Jinghuai is the prince's rival, why did the prince protect him?
Anyway, even if there is no evidence from him, it will not affect anything, and there is no need for the prince to protect him so much, wouldn't this make Wei Chirou also embarrassed?
Zhou Jingrong couldn't figure out the prince's intentions, but she was a little worried about Yu Chirou, although her current identity was no longer something that Chen Jinghuai could afford, but the scars of the past were indelible.
Wei Chirou's heart didn't fluctuate, seeing Chen Jinghuai was no different from seeing other unfamiliar people, so she only said lightly: "Don't be polite." ”
But her indifferent attitude fell in Chen Jinghuai's eyes, but it was extremely thorny.
Once, she was his confidante, and they talked about everything; But now, she is high, and he can only bow down.
For Chen Jinghuai, this situation is more humiliating than the injury.
Passing by Chen Jinghuai, Wei Chirou had no waves in her heart, but it made Zhou Jingrong worry in vain.
Zhou Jingrong first gave Wei Chirou a thumbs up, and then complained: "What the hell does the prince think, he actually wants to use Chen Jinghuai?" That person is clearly a wall-to-wall grass, without any loyalty, just look at him clinging to Ling Wanyue for power, and betraying Ling Xie without hesitation. ”
Yu Chirou smiled slightly: "I also thought it was strange before, but I asked the prince later, and he said ......"
Yu Chirou paused, deliberately selling Guanzi, which made Zhou Jingrong curious, and hurriedly asked, "What did the prince say?" ”
As if she remembered something interesting, Yu Chirou sneered, and said, "The prince once promised me that he would make Chen Jinghuai regret losing me, and that he would worship me once when he saw me in the future." But if Chen Jinghuai was implicated in Ling Xie's matter, was relegated to a foreign country, and couldn't even see him, how could he worship me, wouldn't his promise be broken? For this reason, he left Chen Jinghuai. ”
Zhou Jingrong couldn't close her mouth in surprise, she never thought that the prince left Chen Jinghuai just to humiliate him and vent his anger to Yu Chirou?
Zhou Jingrong was still upset with Wei Chirou, but who would have thought that she was forced to stuff a mouthful of sweet dog food, which was really enough!
Zhou Jingrong, who was hurt by one million points, decided that she would never worry about others in the future!
The three of them came to find the famous master of Xiangguo Temple, and entered in turn to solve the signature.
Zhou Jingrong checked it out, but she didn't see Yu Chirou, and asked Lin Shutong, "Where is the crown princess?" ”
Lin Shutong replied: "The crown princess heard that there is a lotus pond in Xiangguo Temple, which is very beautiful, and before the lotus season, there are already lotus flowers in full bloom, so go and take a look first." ”
Zhou Jingrong said: "I'll take a look, you go to unsign first, and we'll come back to you later." ”
Lin Shutong nodded and entered as he said, while Zhou Jingrong led people to follow the road to find Yu Chirou.
When she came to the lotus pond, Zhou Jingrong saw Yu Chirou from a distance, she was standing by the pool, and there was a newborn lotus flower standing in the center of the pool, the petals were as white as jade, and it was really good-looking.
Zhou Jingrong was also surprised, she didn't expect a lotus flower to bloom at this time, so she walked forward quickly, wanting to find out.
However, before Zhou Jingrong came closer, he saw Wei Chirou, who was standing at the water's edge, with a fluttering look in her eyes, but her face was happy, and her lips moved, as if she had seen something.
Then, despite the fact that there was a lotus pond in front of her, she was about to walk forward as soon as she lifted her feet, but she stepped on the void and planted her whole person downward.
"Rou Niang!" Zhou Jingrong exclaimed, her heart tensed.
