Fuyi picked up his silk handkerchief and gently wiped the ginseng soup from the corner of Zhu Rong's mouth, Zhu Rong took advantage of the situation to hold her hand and stick it on his cheek.

"Brother Rong, don't be sad." Fu Yi got up and walked around the desk and held her husband in her arms, "Shall we restrict my father's correspondence and put him under complete house arrest?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "The emperor wants me to let him do whatever he wants." ”

Fu Yi keenly captured the deep meaning of the emperor's words: "Could it be that he deliberately used his father as bait, so that in the future, he would justifiably get rid of the former crown prince and the emperors......"

Zhu Rong stretched out his hand against Fuyi's lips and shook his head solemnly: "Don't say." ”

Fu Yi asked: "Big sister, has the emperor discussed with her?" ”

Zhu Rong said solemnly: "Everything is just our speculation, how should we ask the eldest sister?" And if my sister agrees to do this, she is going to gamble on her position in the middle palace, she can guarantee ten or twenty years, no, maybe only one or two years, can she guarantee that the emperor's affection for her will never change? ”

Fu Yi didn't dare to answer this question, and was silent for a long time before he said: "I don't dare to say, I just think, the restless person in the court is not only the father, why is it the father?" The eldest lady has reconciled with her father, the Yang family and the former prince have nothing to do with us, why should the emperor be so ruthless. Or, the father was just one of the pawns, and the emperor also connived at other people to participate in it. ”

Zhu Rong said: "Our relationship with the Yang family, how can it be so easy to say and decide, but it is very likely that what you said is that my father is just one of the people who was used by the emperor." ”

Fuyi picked up the tea bowl on the table and wanted to go out and hand it to the maid, but he didn't take a few steps, and looked back at his husband: "Hengzhi is still the same sentence, the companion is like a tiger, then the father's life can not be saved, the eldest sister's position cannot be saved, and the Zhu family will face the catastrophe again." ”

Zhu Rong clenched his fists and didn't speak.

Fu Yi walked back and said: "The emperor told you this sentence extraly, do you guess he is trying not to let you interfere, or is it the other way around reminding us to take good care of our father?" ”

Zhu Rong asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Fu Yi said: "As long as you don't participate in the rebellion, the emperor has no way to prove that our father under house arrest hinders him from acting, without the bait of his father, he will naturally go to find other bait, whether other people's families can protect themselves, whether they can not kill themselves, we can't take care of it." Brother Rong, don't hesitate, from tonight onwards, my father will not be allowed to have any dealings with the outside world, so that he will die of this heart. ”

Zhu Rong's body shook and shook.

Fu Yi said: "You are busy with court affairs all day long, how can you have time to take care of housework, and you don't care about how your father is treated at home." What's more, our old lady is still there, she wants to restrain her son, does she still need outsiders to point fingers, even if it is the emperor, she can't meddle in the minister's family affairs. ”

"Good!" Zhu Rong said, "But I not only want my father to stay out of the matter, but I also want to save the prince's life, stabilize my father first, and then I will find an opportunity to see the prince again." ”

Fu Yi shook his head: "No, Brother Rong, the prince has a life and death, you can't get close to him anymore." I know that you have a deep friendship with the prince, and it is difficult for you to choose, so listen to me. In this matter, whether it is my father or the prince, I don't have any feelings for me, I will only think about my grandmother and siblings who I care about more, maybe cold-blooded and ruthless, but this is my only choice. ”

"Fuyi ......"

"Brother Rong, it's a good thing that you value your feelings." Fu Yi said, "But since you have to make a choice, then let me come, I have no feelings, I am more rational and calm than you." ”

In Fuyi's resolute and decisive eyes, Zhu Rong finally agreed ruthlessly: "Listen to you!" ”

Fu Yi put down the tea bowl, turned around and went out, took Zhengming and other domestic servants, and went straight to Xinghua Hall.

"Young lady, it's so late......" The mothers-in-law guarding the door here were very frightened when they saw the menacing situation.

"Fight, search, and catch all the carrier pigeons." Fu Yi knew that Zhengming was good at training carrier pigeons, and after instructing him, he said to the steward here, "Everyone is gathered, and today the second lady chooses the manpower to go to the private house with her, so the manpower of the family is also transferred, all go to the front hall, and wait for me to send it." ”

"But the young lady, the eldest lord ......"

"Words, you want to rebel?" In front of the bedroom door, Zhu Chengqian's figure appeared, he was carrying the lights in the room, he could only see the outline, he couldn't see his face clearly, and the whole thing was in the dark.

"When I went back to my father's words, I received an order from the Imperial Medical Department that the poultry epidemic broke out in Beijing, and the birds raised at home should be temporarily quarantined." Fu Yi said unhurriedly, "If my grandmother orders that the three sisters and brothers of Yingzhi will return, they will deploy people from the family to serve, and the subordinates of Xinghuatang will serve since childhood, which is the most suitable, and then another person will be sent to serve my father." ”

Zhu Chengqian took a few steps forward and scolded angrily: "You are so young, how did you have the courage to open your mouth to lie, where did you learn your ability to deceive people?" ”

Fu Yi bowed and said: "The poultry plague should not be underestimated, for the sake of my father's health, please forgive my daughter-in-law for being rude, I have raised birds here, my father needs to stay in Xinghua Hall temporarily and not go out, the order of the Imperial Doctor's Department is to quarantine for ten days." ”

"Words and Intentions!"

"Father, don't be angry, please take care of yourself." After Fu Yi was in charge, he ordered his subordinates, "Assemble in the front hall, I'll be here soon." ”

She exited the courtyard gate, ordered people to close the gate but did not have to lock it, and sent people to wait in shifts every day and night, including under the walls of Xinghua Hall, and there were also domestic servants to patrol.

Although Fu Yi thinks that his father-in-law is old and not from a martial arts background, he should not be able to climb the high wall, for the sake of caution, it is better to keep an extra hand.

"Words and support, you are so bold, Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong, you will indulge your woman lawless......"

Through the door, Zhu Chengqian's scolding could be heard, and Fu Yi didn't care, but warned his subordinates not to shake, her order was the old lady's order. Moreover, now that the owner of this house is the eldest prince Zhu Pingluo, they don't have to be afraid of the eldest lord anymore, and after the subordinates promised one after another, she left.

Just when Fuyi was vigorously and resolutely put under house arrest, Zhu Rong confessed all this to his grandmother.

The old lady agreed with Fuyi's point of view and said to her grandson: "Her ruthlessness is because she doesn't care about those people, not cold-blooded and cruel, and it is enough for you to be considerate and understanding." If there is anything in the future, you husband and wife can discuss it, grandma has nothing to disagree with you, but please save your father's life, I can't watch my son kill himself. ”

Zhu Rong said: "In a few days, Fuyi will take her sisters into the palace, and she will discuss this matter with the eldest sister in detail, and the elder sister should also realize that from now on, she and her brother-in-law are no longer ordinary couples, for the sake of the court and the country, and for the sake of imperial power, she may be abandoned at any time as a queen." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that Hanzhi would abandon us for the sake of the imperial power?" ”

Zhu Rong was stunned: "Grandma, how can this be ......?"

The old lady said solemnly: "This is your sister, a child raised by the Empress Dowager Yang herself, Hanzhi's mind and vision are far above you and Fuyi, six years ago, the reason why I promised your father to put her under house arrest is that I am afraid that she will assassinate the first emperor and the Empress Dowager Yang, as a result, she was imprisoned for five years, and she lost the child in her womb. Now that the phoenix has attained nirvana and been reborn from the ashes, do you think there is anything else that your sister can't let go? From now on, you and Fuyi will not only be cautious in your words and deeds in front of the emperor, but also in Hanzhi. ”

Zhu Rong's heart became heavier, and he bowed down and said, "My grandson has written it down." ”

Soon after, Fuyi came, and my grandmother said these words again, compared to Zhu Rong's heavy heart, Fuyi, an outsider, may be because he doesn't have too deep feelings, and he is extraordinarily calm.

After the children left, Mama Rui served the old lady to rest, retired the little maid, and asked quietly: "What's wrong with Xinghuatang, the young lady has a conflict with the eldest master again?" ”

The old lady closed her eyes leisurely: "He did his own evil, I can't take care of him, give birth to a child, I just hope that he can have a good death, and the children and grandchildren of the family cannot be buried in his hands alone." ”

Mama Rui was confused and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The old lady laughed: "You are confused, which means that things are not a big deal, and when you also understand it, things will not be easy to handle." ”

At this moment, in the Qingqiu Pavilion, after Fuyi washed and changed clothes, Wu Zi was taking care of his long hair in front of the mirror platform, Zhu Rong came in from outside the door, and the couple did not speak.

After a long time, Fu Yi felt as if he was being looked at, turned around, and sure enough, Zhu Rong looked at himself quietly in a place that could not be seen in the mirror.

"I ...... What's wrong? Fu Yi was a little weak-hearted, after all, tonight, she forced Zhu Rong to do something against his wishes.

"Looking at you, I can feel a little more peaceful." Zhu Rong said, "I feel that there is still support in my heart." ”

Fu Yi came to her husband and put his palm against her heart: "I know that the first emperor's harm and blow to you make you unable to trust today, even if it is your own brother-in-law, isn't it?" But between monarchs and ministers, there shouldn't be any affection, right, to be brothers, or to be friends? To put it bluntly, the emperor is just an employer, and you don't owe each other anything. ”

Zhu Rong smiled and said, "What is this statement?" ”

Fu Yi said: "Naturally, it is untenable, after all, the monarch and the minister have to die, I only hate myself, I can't be immersed in officialdom for decades like my father, I can say something to the point, and I can make you more down-to-earth, but my father's decades are also his own, and we must be stronger than him." ”

Zhu Rong brushed away Fu Yi's broken hair, revealing his fair skin, and he asked: "I always want to give you the life you want, but I am always confused, are you for me, endure again and again." ”

Fu Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "How do I feel that it is just the other way around, and you endure it again and again for me?" ”
