In the dead of night, after walking through the palace gates, Zhu Rong finally met the emperor.

When Emperor Jiasheng saw him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Got the news?" ”

Zhu Rong hugged his fists: "Yes, the minister is willing to go and find out the truth for the emperor." ”

Emperor Jiasheng shook his head: "I can't send you there, you have to stay in the capital to protect me." ”

Zhu Rong said: "If you can get rid of the traitors and prevent future troubles, this will protect you more than if the ministers stay by your side." ”

Emperor Jiasheng said in a deep voice: "I am afraid that you will be rebelled, and I am afraid that you will turn against him and be loyal to him." When he was twenty years old, how could he lead hundreds of thousands of troops to sweep the battlefield, why did he still not see anyone dead or corpse, and still make the Kishu generals loyal to him, because of his talent, his personality charm, he has countless ways to change your mind. ”

Zhu Rong knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty, the minister will not betray you." ”

"I know you won't." Emperor Jiasheng's eyes were solemn, desolate and sad, "But I don't have confidence in myself." ”

Zhu Rong was helpless, got up and clenched his fists: "The minister obeys the emperor's orders." ”

Emperor Jiasheng bowed: "Staying in the capital, I need you who are strong and smart in martial arts, and more loyal by your side." The crown prince of the Double Ninth Festival will take the place of the Imperial Mausoleum, and you and Kaijiang will be responsible for escorting it to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Zhu Rong received the order, thought about it and then asked: "Is what the old man in the imperial tomb said credible?" ”

Panic crossed the emperor's eyes, and his face turned pale.

Zhu Rong bowed and said: "If the first emperor really left an edict, Prince Sheng will take it out after many years, I am afraid that it will no longer be effective, and the ministers and the people will not believe it." ”

Emperor Jiasheng slowly walked towards Zhu Rong and grabbed his shoulder, such a thick physique, which made people feel at ease and reliable.

Even when he was young, he had never been as tall as Zhu Rong, any little light would attract the dissatisfaction of his father, and he could not even be better than his younger brother, he could only be cautious and live only as promised.

"Find out, Rong'er." There was a distorted hatred in the emperor's eyes, "Find out the edict, find their father and son, let them disappear, let them disappear." ”

Zhu Rong hugged his fists and promised: "The minister's decree." ”

Back at the Duke's Palace, Zhu Rong didn't let his subordinates follow or light the lamp, and walked alone in the night, feeling heavy for what the emperor explained.

Approaching the Qingqiu Pavilion, attracted by the lights in front of the door, the firelight moved slowly, and a familiar figure could be vaguely seen.

Zhu Rong quickened her pace, and the person in front of the door heard the movement and raised the lamp to try to illuminate the front, but before she could see clearly, the person had already arrived in front of the door.

Fuyi was startled, staggered back, and was protected by her husband's waist, she smiled: "I just think that you are coming back." ”

Zhu Rong saw that Fuyi was wearing a thin cotton coat, and he felt a few layers thick on his waist, and he didn't know how much he was wearing: "You are clever, you are dressed so thickly." ”

Fuyi was aggrieved: "Look at how fierce you are, I'm always afraid that you will scold me, it's very pitiful." ”

Zhu Rong said angrily: "That's your own nonsense, it's so late, what are you waiting for me to do?" But before he could answer, his eyes were full of tenderness, "I'll see you first when I come back, and I will forget any troubles." ”

Fu Yi was distressed: "Brother Rong, you are too hard. ”

The husband and wife entered the door, under the light, Zhu Rong saw that Fu Yi was dressed thickly, no wonder Fang Cai looked at the figure although familiar, but it seemed to be a lot round, he unscrupulously hugged his beloved, softly hugged in his arms, and said with a smile: "Fool, how many clothes are you wearing?" ”

Fu Yi took the opportunity to untie his belt and shirt, and said softly: "Hurry up and wash up and sleep, it's going to be dawn in the blink of an eye." ”

Zhu Rong wanted to release his hand, and after taking off his robe, he turned around and left.

Fuyi put away her robe, and was about to hand it over to the maid who came in to serve, when she suddenly saw a piece of letter paper falling, she bent down to pick it up, and when she lowered her head and stretched out her hand, she had already seen the contents of the letter in a hurry, and was immediately shocked.

"Young lady, are you preparing a supper for your son?" The maids asked.

Fu Yi hurriedly put away the letter: "No need, the son is not hungry, tomorrow breakfast is a quarter of an hour earlier, I want an extra bowl of ginseng soup." ”

She walked to the desk and pressed the letter under the paperweight, and then the servants washed and changed the clothes, and after a while, everyone had withdrawn, and then she said, "I put the letter that fell from the robe, and I put it on the table." ”

Zhu Rong hummed disappre一门ly, took two sips of tea, and lay down lazily without even looking at the things on the table.

Fu Yi blew out the candles, and as soon as she was next to the bed, she was hugged by her husband, Zhu Rong rubbed on her shoulder and said: "In the few days when I went out, you were not around, and I was not comfortable at night, how long has it been, I have slept alone for twenty-one years." ”

Fuyi was the same in her heart, but she couldn't laugh at the moment, she just called Brother Rong, hoping that she could understand the hesitation and helplessness in her heart.

The letter said that someone in the south had been found recruiting troops and horses, and it was not clear where they were coming from, and they were waiting for instructions from the capital, but the letter mentioned that it was suspected that it was Prince Sheng's father and son, and he wanted to ask for an order to kill him.

Early the next morning, Zhu Rongcai told Fuyi that he would escort the prince to pay tribute to the imperial tomb for seven or eight days on the Double Ninth Festival, and he would leave her alone at home.

Fu Yi asked: "Brother's full moon wine, you can't eat it either?" ”

Zhu Rong counted the days and said, "It's okay, my aunt won't care." ”

Before going out, he said: "I'm going out today, and I'll give you a wedding card for my brother's full moon wine to the palace, and I'll talk to you first." ”

Zhu Rong couldn't help frowning: "You are free, you don't need my permission, you can go anywhere you want." ”

Fu Yi smiled bitterly: "Anyway, you just listen." ”

The two of them tacitly know that his wife has her difficulties, and Zhu Rong understands it in his heart.

He always remembered the instructions of Princess Min on the day of his wedding, but now he is flawless, and he only hopes that after the court is peaceful, he can calm down and deal with the affairs of the family.

When the time comes, those who should move out will move out, and those who should be separated will be separated, and they don't want to let Fuyi suffer the slightest grievance.

In this way, Fuyi took a class for Ping Jue with peace of mind in the morning, and even Huaifeng's class did not fall, and in the afternoon, he took his sisters out together to visit the princess Niangniang in Prince Sheng's mansion.

Yingzhi and Minzhi rarely go out, seeing that everything is fresh, Yunzhi took his sisters to walk around the palace garden, and Fuyi and the princess and daughter talked in the pavilion.

Princess Min returned to the capital with emotion, and finally remembered what autumn colors were, and it was about to snow in Kishu at this time.

Yao Nian hurriedly said: "My mother is still in the mood to see the autumn colors, why don't you send me south to find out and confirm whether those people are my father and brother." ”

Fu Yi reminded: "If the county lord goes, the emperor will have no effort, as long as he follows the county lord, he can find the prince and the prince, how can this be done." ”

Princess Min smiled: "Look, you haven't calmed down yet. ”

Yao Nian was not convinced: "I will naturally be careful, but in this capital, when will I wait?" Mother, I believe more and more that my father and brother are still alive, and they must be alive. ”

Fu Yi didn't dare to look at the princess, for fear of revealing her eyes that knew the inside story, so she changed the topic and asked, "Niangniang and the county lord, when do you plan to leave the capital?" ”

Princess Min said: "Here, countless pairs of eyes are watching from top to bottom in the capital, if there is a change between me and Nian'er, the emperor can't get out of it, he won't dare to do it easily." When we go elsewhere, he can get rid of us without a trace, and it is impossible to guarantee that one day, our mother and daughter will die on the side of the road and no one cares. ”

Fu Yi unconsciously straightened his back, and there were bursts of chills on his body.

Princess Min entrusted her: "I never interact with the noblewomen in the capital, I have something to ask you, can you find out some things from the mouths of those female dependents, I want to confirm whether Min Xian really instigated the emperor to kill my family back then." ”

Fu Yi received the order, and said that during the Double Ninth Festival, the prince will go to the imperial tomb to worship the emperor instead of the emperor.

Princess Min's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she smiled: "It's a good opportunity." ”

Fu Yi's heart tightened: "Niangniang, do you want to ...... the prince?"

Princess Min smiled: "His children are innocent, and I won't be as mad as him." ”

Yao Nian said on the side: "You can quietly remind Zhu Rong and let him be vigilant, I'm not teasing you, I'm sincere." ”

Fu Yi said: "I understand the kindness of the county lord, but it doesn't matter if it's this time or two, after a long time, I should be confused about what I am and which side I am on." Please rest assured that I have my own measure. ”

At this time, the girls came back, Yunzhi led her sister, and asked the princess anxiously if there was any ointment in the house.

It turned out that Min Zhi had a red rash on his face, as if he had been bitten by an insect, and Princess Min was worried that the child had chickenpox, so she immediately summoned the doctor at home to take a look.

After the doctor checked it, he said that he wanted to take a look at the other girls, and Fu Yi nervously thought that it was really a pox infection among the girls.

But the doctor finally said: "I don't think so, the young ladies have golden branches and jade leaves, and the things used in your mansion are all exquisite and high-quality, and I am afraid that they are still royal tributes." But the fat powder on the faces of these two young ladies is too heavy with lead, and after a long time, the damage to the skin is small, and the damage to the body is great. ”

Yingzhi and Minzhi looked at each other, and Minzhi said: "I'm going out today, I just wiped the powder, and the nurses said that when they came to the palace, they couldn't lose their dignity, and they didn't use it at home on weekdays." ”

They are still young, their skin is naturally white and tender, they really don't need to be whitewashed on weekdays, Fuyi and Yunzhi glanced at each other, remembering that day when they saved Cuizhu, they just went to buy rouge gouache, Yunzhi said that the family bought it was not good, and sure enough, this bad thing was also divided into the two sisters' houses.

"Niangniang, we have some housework to deal with, so let's leave first." Fu Xiang said to the princess, "Thank you for taking care of me today." ”

Princess Min said with a smile: "The housework is not urgent, deal with it slowly, I heard that the lawsuit of the Jin and Min mansions will be promoted tomorrow." ”
