Chapter 93: The Threat of the Grand Lady
Before the county lord's mother and daughter entered Beijing, Fuyi had already chosen to stand on Kishu's side, but at that time, it was just full of justice, and he couldn't see the princess being tortured under house arrest.
From the words of the princess and the county lord, it is not difficult to analyze that the Zhongguo Mansion "abandoned" the palace five years ago, no matter what happened to the prince and the prince, the Zhu family almost drew a line with the in-laws at the first moment.
The court has a discordant position, and it is understandable that the Zhu family chooses to protect themselves, but in Fuyi's view, even if the eldest lady shoulders the same family responsibilities as her brothers and sisters, she should not sacrifice her life, even her children.
"You can think about it, and you don't have to rush to answer me." Yao Nian said, "You are alone in the capital, but I rely on a little bit of the thin face of the former palace to make it difficult for me, my mother does not approve of me to disturb you, it's not that I don't trust, it's that even if you go to the capital, you are still a citizen of Kishu, and you should be the one we are here to protect." ”
Fu Yi bowed: "Yes, I understand." ”
Yao Nian hurriedly said: "My words sound like I'm coaxing you, but no matter what you think, I really expect you to help me, and my mother is also sincere, she doesn't want you to get involved in trouble." ”
But Fu Yi had no doubts: "Even if the county lord doesn't mention these words, after learning that you and Niangniang have gone to Beijing, I look forward to seeing each other and informing you about the princess." At the moment, I don't have half a doubt about your intentions, my father and I, deeply favored by the palace, were unable to repay it, and now we can help each other, but it has fulfilled our wishes. ”
There was a light in Yao Nian's eyes: "Fuyi, are you willing?" ”
Fuyi nodded solemnly: "It's just that I don't know what I can do for you and Niangniang." ”
Yao Nian glanced to the side and said softly: "Don't worry, wait for you to come to the palace, and we'll talk about it in detail." ”
Just said this, Yunzhi folded back with the food box, the box was filled with the exquisite snacks prepared by the second lady, Yao Nian invited the girls to sit around and drink tea and eat snacks, talking about interesting things in the capital and the scenery of Jizhou.
Compared to Yunzhi, these young ladies raised in the boudoir, are not as good as Fuyi because of the constraints of family conditions and can not get out of Kizhou, Yao Nian has followed his father to the north and south, traveled the mountains and rivers, and has also been to neighboring countries and friends, and even went to sea by boat.
Imagining the outside world from the county lord's words, even the help was confused, but they all knew that it was all five years ago, and in the past five years, the county lord and the princess must have suffered a lot of pain and bitterness.
Yun is excited in her heart, in such an enlightened and free family, you can imagine how happy my sister used to be after marrying into the palace, but now she has ended up like this.
"It's not too early, I should go back, because my mother didn't tell me to disturb you." Yao Nian glanced at Fu Yi and said meaningfully, "In a few days, I will invite you to come to the house." ”
Everyone thanked them, sent the county lord away, and sent Fuyi and Yun all the way to the door of the house.
Looking at the gorgeous carriage of the palace, Yun Zhi said: "I have heard a few words in Dongyuan, saying that the palace has been extremely luxurious since the day it entered Beijing. But I also think that the temperament of the county lord is not such a vain person. ”
Coincidentally, when Yun Zhi was saying these words to Fu Yi, in the forbidden army mansion, Kaijiang almost said the same thing to Zhu Rong.
They helped each other put on armor, and they had been complaining for a long time: "That little girl, it's really deliberate, deliberately exposing her whereabouts to me, just afraid that we won't be able to keep up, you say that she is like this, aren't you provoking the emperor?" Isn't she afraid? ”
Zhu Rong didn't say anything, turned around and tightened his armor for Kaijiang, and the two were about to enter the palace, when Kaijiang's subordinates told him that the county lord of Anguo had gone to the Zhongguo Mansion and had returned home at this moment.
Kaijiang frowned, he already thought of something in his heart, and reminded Zhu Rong: "Don't blame me for being rude, you have to be careful about the girl, and don't say that she wants to harm you, you should also protect her from getting into trouble." She is an insignificant daughter of the academy, but she disappears one day, and no one cares. ”
Zhu Rong's expression was solemn, knowing that opening up the territory was not a threat to scare, whether it was the purpose of Prince Sheng's mansion entering Beijing, or the intention of Fuyi to be dedicated to Jizhou, he was not allowed to take it lightly.
"You have to take care of your own women." Kaijiang said, "In the court in this capital, the entanglement of the emperor's family is not something that a little woman can touch, not only Miss Yan, but also your family rhyme." ”
"What do you call my woman?" Zhu Rong said, "Even if I marry her one day, I won't allow you to say that." ”
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing, don't be angry." Kaijiang hurriedly said, "I'm in a hurry for a while, and it's also for the good of you and Miss Yan." ”
Zhu Rong bowed: "I have my own measure." ”
He strode towards the palace, Kaijiang caught up and asked, "What if she really betrayed the Zhu family?" ”
"Where do you say betrayal?" Zhu Rong responded indifferently, "She is not from this family. ”
"Then you ......" Kaijiang was a little incomprehensible.
"That's all for the future." Zhu Rong said, "You should understand by now why I'm worried that I won't be able to give her anything." ”
Kaijiang was stunned, and after stopping a few steps, he caught up and said: "You still have to find an opportunity to make it clear, how can Miss Yan know that the mountains and rivers in this capital are high and deep, you have to tell her that you can't eat with blood and justice." ”
Zhu Rong suddenly remembered one thing, and said to Kaijiang: "I want to leave the palace earlier today, and you will take care of it for me." ”
Kaijiang readily agreed: "Wrap it up on me." ”
As Zhu Rong expected, this evening, the eldest lady rushed back from her mother's house, originally said that she would stay for a few days, only after one night, she couldn't wait to come back, and only Wang's mother knew, this time was not in a hurry, if she hadn't stopped, after learning that the county lord of Anguo had arrived at Zhu's house during the day, Mrs. would have rushed back immediately.
At this moment, Fuyi was alone and was led to Xinghua Hall by the mother-in-law in the inner courtyard.
Walking through the secluded main hall, through the doors, to the inner room of the west, no longer as polite as when they first came, the maids and women, they seem to be influenced by the eldest lady, and Fu Yi has become an undesirable person.
"Auntie, please say hello." Fu Yi stepped forward to salute, and after the salute, he heard the sound of footsteps closing the door, and only she and the eldest lady were left in this room.
The eldest lady was sitting precariously, the candles in the room were dim, and she couldn't see the hairpin ring of her clothes clearly, only the cold light in those cold eyes.
"You are very familiar with the Kishu Palace?" The eldest lady opened her mouth and asked, "I heard that today's county lord has been sitting in Qingqiu Pavilion for a long time. ”
"When I was young, I used to play with the county lord." On the way to Fuyi, he guessed the intention of the eldest lady, and replied calmly at the moment, "But I haven't seen each other for many years, and the Dragon Boat Festival is in the palace, which is a reunion after many years." ”
"You guys can't see it in Kishu?" The eldest lady didn't seem to believe it, and was full of suspicion about Fuyi.
"Yes, there are countless people in Kishu, and the palace is gracious in all directions." Fuyi looked squarely at the person in front of him, "I don't know what aunt wants to ask me?" ”
"You are a smart person, I don't need to say more, but I'm afraid that your cleverness will be used in places where it shouldn't be." The eldest lady was majestic and said in a cold voice, "Yan Fuyi, you listen well, you have to abide by the rules of this house for a day in this mansion, and I will never allow the Zhu family to eat traitors inside and outside." We haven't talked about it well, so let's make it clear today. ”
"Yes." Fu Yi was not afraid, but he was never provocative, and still said respectfully, "Please ask the eldest aunt to command." ”
Yang sank his heart, got up and walked to Fu Yi's side: "Remember, no matter what the Kishu Royal Mansion asks you, keep your mouth shut, and hide what you see and know in this house, if not!" ”
Fuyi looked at her, "What do you want to say?" ”
Yang said: "Daqi is vast, and the academies around the country are like the stars of the Milky Way, and there are one or two less, do you guess anyone cares?" ”
Fu Yi's heart tightened, and he unconsciously clenched his teeth.
Yang Shi smiled coldly and patted her shoulder: "Don't blame me for being polite when the time comes, I have already made it clear, if you are willing to keep to yourself and be honest, everyone in this house will love you, and no one will embarrass you." On the contrary, I hope that the girl will weigh it carefully and remember what I said carefully. ”
Even if Fu Yi is angry, she will not have a seizure in person, she remembers what Zhu Rong said, don't offend the eldest lady.
"I must remember your words." Fu Yi retreated into advance, and said humbly, "I also entrusted my third cousin and aunt to promise you before, I will never tell others about the eldest lady, and I will never be curious to ask." ”
"Then swear by God." Yang sat back and said, "Use your father's life, use the rise and fall of the academy." ”
Fu Yi knelt down without hesitation, raised his hand and swore: "If there is a disobedience to my aunt's will, Erudite Academy will ......."
Suddenly, Wang's mother came in from outside the door, her face turned pale with fright, and she couldn't care about helping her, and said urgently: "Madam, Chunmingzhai has gone to water!" ”
"Han'er?" The eldest lady was worried, put down her help, and followed Wang's mother out the door.
"If there is a violation of the aunt's will, the whole school will be harmonious, united and prosperous forever."
Fu Yi said the "oath" lightly, got up and went out, looking at the back of the eldest lady in the distance, and she couldn't tell at this moment, whether she was worried about her daughter's safety, or afraid that outsiders would find out what she had done.
