Chapter 233: No Gains
When the palace maid saw her, a pair of eyes were twice as surprised, and her face was shocked: "Wushuang? Why are you here? β
"Are you ......?" Bai Wushuang frowned, listening to the voice, she knew that this palace maid was a man pretending, but she felt that this voice was a little familiar, and after searching in her mind, she suddenly pointed to "her" and said in surprise: "Fu Wenxi? β
"You've recognized it." Fu Wenxi saw that Bai Wushuang guessed his identity. He no longer continued to disguise, and ripped off the skin on his face, revealing his original appearance.
"How did you end up in the palace? And ...... This outfit. While speaking, Bai Wushuang looked Fu Wenxi's outfit up and down, he was handsome, the type belonged to that kind of feminine system, his body and wig, with his face, there was no sense of disobedience at all.
"I've never been to the palace, I want to see what the palace looks like." Fu Wenxi was asked by Bai Wushuang, as if he remembered something, and a trace of obscurity flashed in his eyes, but Bai Wushuang didn't see it.
But soon, Fu Wenxi was the original hippie smiling face again.
Although Bai Wushuang didn't quite believe Fu Wenxi's rhetoric, now was not a good time to talk, so he took Fu Wenxi to the banquet, wanting to ask again when it was over.
As for why she brought Fu Wenxi with her, it was because she was afraid that Fu Wenxi's equipment would be discovered by the people in the palace, and she would cause a big disaster when the time came.
When Chi Jingyu saw Bai Wushuang going out and coming back with someone, and this person was still Fu Wenxi disguised as a man, his whole face turned dark, as if he had seen his father's killer.
Bai Wushuang naturally sensed Chi Jingyu's hostility, reached out to hold his big hand and whispered in his ear: "I just met him in the Imperial Garden, and I was afraid that he would cause some trouble, so I brought him over." β
"It'll be over in a while, you let him settle down." Hearing Bai Wushuang's active explanation, Chi Jingyu's face looked slightly better.
Bai Wushuang laughed in his heart, what a childish ghost.
After the banquet was over, Bai Wushuang and the others took Fu Wenxi back to the General's Mansion.
"Tell me, what are you going to the palace for?" Bai Wushuang regarded Fu Wenxi as a friend, and the two of them have always been straightforward, and they never cared about red tape.
It's just that this time she vaguely felt that things were not as simple as Fu Wenxi said, if he was just curious about the palace, why did he dress up as a palace maid. It's sneaky.
"I said, I'm just curious about the palace." Fu Wenxi said with a serious face, but he didn't know that his eyes would unconsciously look to the left when he spoke, which betrayed him and showed that he was lying.
Bai Wushuang obviously didn't believe it, so he continued to ask based on the principle of breaking the casserole and asking to the end: "If you are just curious, would you dress like this?" Wenxi, you don't have to lie in front of me, it's useless with me, all your little actions have betrayed you. β
Fu Wenxi was choked for a while, he didn't know what to say, he was half paid, and said as if he had made up his mind: "I admit that I lied to you, I actually went to the palace for another purpose." β
"What is it that makes you take such a big risk to the palace?" Bai Wushuang asked.
"I entered the palace to investigate the cause of my sister's death."
"Your sister?" This news shocked Bai Wushuang and Chi Jingyu, neither of them knew that Fu Wenxi had a sister in the palace.
"Yes, my sister's name is Fu Xingyi, she was originally the emperor's favorite concubine, but later she died tragically in the palace for unknown reasons. Because I know you and I think it's fate, I didn't tell you about it. β
Fu Wenxi told Bai Wushuang and Chi Jingyu everything he was hiding, and the reason why he entered Beijing was also for this.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would meet Bai Wushuang halfway, these things were originally his private affairs, so he didn't tell her.
As a result, I didn't expect to let her know these things in such a way today.
Bai Wushuang didn't expect that Fu Wenxi's sister would actually be the emperor's concubine.
"How did your sister die?" Even though he knew that it was not polite to ask, Bai Wushuang couldn't help but want to ask.
"I don't know, my sister has rarely had contact with her family since she entered the palace, and even the news of her death was only known three months after my sister's death." Fu Wenxi shook his head with a sad face, originally he thought that his sister would have a better life after entering the palace. But she didn't expect the palace to become a place she would go to for the rest of her life.
Bai Wushuang nodded thoughtfully, she had never heard that the emperor had a concubine named Fu Xingyi, and she had only seen the queen, Mo Shu and An Guiren in the entire harem.
As if he had made a decision, his expression suddenly became firm: "I'll help you investigate, it's much easier, and I should repay you for teaching me the disguise technique." β
"Nope." Before Fu Wenxi could speak, Chi Jingyu on the side refused first.
Fu Wenxi can belong to the enemy in his eyes, he hasn't forgotten that this kid actually thought about Shuang'er.
Moreover, the affairs of this harem are all complicated, how can Bai Wushuang help him?
Fu Wenxi glanced at Chi Jingyu, he didn't think about bothering Bai Wushuang, but looking at Chi Jingyu's hostile appearance towards him, he instantly came to the point of opposing him: "Why can't it, it's Wushuang who helps me, and it's not you who help me." β
"Shuang'er is my wife, I can't do it if I say no, I seriously doubt now that you approached Shuang'er for no purpose." was really choked by Fu Wenxi, and Chi Jingyu disagreed even more.
Aside from anything else, just because Fu Wenxi was so close to Bai Wushuang in his self-righteousness, he wouldn't allow it.
Bai Wushuang watched the two arguing on the side, and he had a headache, the first time he found out that Chi Jingyu was so naΓ―ve and arguing with others in order to be jealous.
Just when Bai Wushuang was about to interrupt the two of them to say something, Chi Jingyu once again ordered someone to throw Fu Wenxi outside the gate of the General's Mansion.
"You don't agree that I help Wenxi because you're worried about me, right?" Bai Wushuang shook his head helplessly, got up and hugged Chi Jingyu's waist, and looked at him seriously.
She could understand why Chi Jingyu refused so firmly, in addition to being jealous, but more because she was worried that she would help Fu Wenxi investigate. Wading through the troubled waters of the harem, it is not certain that you will encounter any dangers at that time.
Seeing that Chi Jingyu didn't speak, Bai Wushuang continued: "I know you're worried about me, but I decided to help Fu Wenxi because he taught me the disguise technique. And because he's my friend, I want to help him in any way I can. β
"You and I don't know how deep the water in the harem is, I'm afraid that you will be in danger because of this." Chi Jingyu sighed, raised his hand and rubbed his head, and said the worries in his heart.
"Don't worry, I'm measured, I'm just helping with the investigation, I won't be in the muddy waters of the harem." Bai Wushuang's heart warmed, he raised his right hand and stretched out three fingers to reassure Chi Jingyu seriously.
In the end, it was no surprise that Chi Jingyu compromised.
Fortunately, she has cultivated a few capable people in the palace as eyeliner, so it is convenient to help her check whether there is a woman named Fu Xingyi in the palace.
After some thorough investigation, news came from the people in the palace, saying that there was no one named Fu Xingyi.
Bai Wushuang felt strange, since he was the emperor's concubine, how could the people in this palace not know that there was such a person?
Bai Wushuang, who had never figured out this matter, finally decided to find Fu Wenxi and tell him the result.
But Fu Wenxi didn't want to believe it at all, and always firmly believed that Bai Wushuang had made a mistake.
In order to prove that what he said was true, Fu Wenxi decided to go into the palace in person to find the eunuchs and palace maids to confirm the matter.
The final result is still the same as Bai Wushuang, no one knows about the existence of Fu Xingyi.
With disappointment, I returned to the General's Mansion. Sitting in the yard with a disappointed face, I thought about what went wrong.
As soon as Ruxue came out of Xiangyuan, she saw Fu Wenxi sitting on the stone chair in the courtyard in a daze, so she walked over and sat in front of him, and shook her hand in front of his eyes: "What's wrong with you?" I'm in a daze. β
"Is that you? What, something? Fu Wenxi came back to his senses and saw that it was Ruxue, because the first meeting between the two was a little unsatisfactory, so every time they met after that, they would feel a little embarrassed.
"You're bothering about your sister, how are you doing now?" Ruxue had heard about this before, so she also knew what Fu Wenxi was in a daze for.
For some reason, at this moment, she couldn't bear to see him look so lost.
"Wushuang and I both investigated in the palace, and they all said that there was no such thing as my sister." Fu Wenxi was not surprised that Ruxue would know about this, so there was nothing to hide.
He couldn't figure it out, his sister was obviously a concubine in the palace, and she was the emperor's concubine, how could anyone not know him and her.
"The names of some concubines in the palace are not necessarily their real names, and many of the emperors will give them titles, so it may be that the current palace maids don't know your sister's real name." Ruxue thought for a moment. She still knew a lot about the affairs of the palace, so she told Fu Wenxi her thoughts: "How did you find Tingye?" β
"It was Tingye who took the initiative to contact me, otherwise I wouldn't have a clue at all." Fu Wenxi didn't understand why Ruxue asked like this, and he didn't think about it himself.
Took the initiative to contact Fu Wenxi?
Ruxue Rou frowned slightly, always feeling that this matter was a bit too coincidental.
After appeasing Fu Wenxi for a few words. Fu Wenxi left the General's Mansion, Ruxue couldn't worry about this matter, and came to the main courtyard to find Bai Wushuang and tell her about it.
"Do you think there's something wrong with this pavilion leaf?" Bai Wushuang didn't think about what Ruxue said, but Fu Wenxi was bent on finding the cause of his sister's death, so he didn't think of it.
It seems that the direction of their investigation is going to be changed, and this pavilion is a better entry point.
