Mingzhu regretted talking to Yu Wenchu very much, because this person was too good at talking, and he could always catch her flaws, and then press her step by step, forcing her to have no way back. Yes, even if she is angry, she still can't help but worry about him and feel sorry for him, which seems to have become an instinct.

But at this moment, she was ready to find fault, so she put on a posture of preparing for war: "I'm fine, so many people are waiting, will there be anything missing?" ”

Yu Wenchu smiled: "I also have a lot of people to serve, but if I don't have your care, I feel that I lack everything, and I am very lacking." ”

Mingzhu didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Yu Wenchu also did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but continued to do his thing.

The fourth watch drum sounded, he still had no intention of resting, Mingzhu said unhappily: "With the light on, I can't sleep." ”

"Oh." Yu Wenchu cleaned up the table slightly and blew out the lights. He lay down quietly beside Mingzhu, without saying a word or making any further moves, purely sleeping.

Mingzhu fell asleep with mixed feelings. Feeling that she had just fallen asleep, she heard Wei Tiande whispering outside the window about Yu Wenchu's affairs, she was very angry, grabbed something and smashed it at the window, scolding: "Do you want anyone to live?" I didn't sleep until the second half of the night, and it was noisy again before dawn, and the sky was about to fall? ”

There was no sound, and after a long pause, Wei Tiande said: "The slave knows that she is wrong." The slave and maid retired. ”

Yu Wenchu was only wearing a single coat, quietly looking at Mingzhu, happy and angry.

Mingzhu glared back at him without showing weakness: "If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, why do you always look at me like this?" Is it bigger than an eye? ”

The corners of Yu Wenchu's lips hooked up little by little, and gradually bloomed into a big smile. "Fu Mingzhu, you are so rude, you dare to say such things." "But I like it." Because he knew that she was always worried about him.

Mingzhu annoyed him: "Don't come to this, I'm just noisy, not what you think." ”

"What did I think it was?" Yu Wenchu got dressed and got up, combed his hair under the service of Xiangh, finished washing, stood in the morning light and looked back at Mingzhu: "Zhuzhu, you can't figure it out, I understand, I don't want you to figure it out immediately, and I don't want you to follow my wishes." You know the truth better than anyone else, I won't say more, I just hope you can become happier when you come back. ”

Then he strode out without looking back.

Mingzhu lay straight on the bed and stared at the top of the tent, until she saw that her eyes were sour and tears flowed.

Fu Ming entered the city at noon, and before he had time to freshen up and change clothes, he went to see Yu Wenchu. By the afternoon, everyone knew that Fu Mingzhao would never come back, no one alive or dead, and he disappeared into Tongzhou without a trace.

All of a sudden, rumors spread in Beijing, and there were those who were angry and unbelieving that there must be hidden secrets, those who sat and sat and watched jokes, and some people were ready to curry favor with the princess regent and Fu Xiangfu, and were ready to ask for confirmation that Fu Mingzhao died in the same state, and some people were ready to persuade Fu Xiangfu to get a well-dressed tomb and mourn.

Because everyone knows that it is not a good thing that Fu Mingzhao is alive, at least not for the reputation of Fu Xiangfu. Only Fu Xiang's Mansion is quiet as usual, closed doors, and no one in the mansion shows a sad look, Fu Lin, who is in charge of sending guests, said calmly: "The second uncle has not been found yet, and there is no definite news yet, how dare you talk about life and death lightly?" Everything is left to God's will. ”

Just this sentence made everyone unable to open their mouths.

When Yu Wenchu heard this, he said to Fu Mingzheng opposite: "There is someone in the Fu family." ”

In front of him and Fu Mingzheng, there was a map, and the map was full of markers, all of which were the military dangers that Fu Mingzheng had gone to the Northland to discover. Fu Ming put away the map expressionlessly and said, "Your Highness asked the minister to go to the Northland." ”

Yu Wenchu shook his head without hesitation: "No, you have to watch the capital for me." ”

Fu Mingzheng pursed his lips, he knew what kind of scene would be in Beijing after Yuwen Chu set out on the expedition, most of them were a group of demons dancing wildly, and ghosts and ghosts were rampant in the world. Yu Wenchu set out on this expedition, if he can win, everything will be solved, if he loses, there will be no way out.

Yu Wenchu stood up: "I'm going out of the city to train the army, the fourth uncle will go home first." ”

Fu Mingzheng withdrew, and someone from the palace came to announce him: "The Empress Dowager is very concerned about the news of General Fu, and invites Master Fu to come to the palace to talk about it." ”

Fu Ming went to Changxin Palace expressionlessly.

The Empress Dowager summoned him with the same expressionless face: "Have you seen your second brother?" Why not bring him back? ”

Fu Mingzheng hooked the corners of his lips and sneered: "The minister didn't see Fu Mingzhao, he had more than enough heart but not enough strength, and he couldn't bring it back." ”

The Empress Dowager suddenly laughed: "Really? You can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. I'll say, you come and listen, and after listening to it, see what's wrong, and then you can correct me. ”

She took a breath and said with a smile: "I know, Mingzhu and An Xiaogu are good friends. The Yue Guo Mansion and the Runan Hou Mansion are both military people, and if she wants to save Ming Zhao, she will inevitably use their strength, for example, to deliver news or something. But there must be someone who can listen to her arrangement in the far north, die for her, and help her find Mingzhao and protect her. And this person can only be Shen Ruilin, who grew up with her childhood sweetheart. Mingzhu is a soft-hearted person, she is reluctant to Shen Ruilin to get involved in this kind of thing, so she has to look for you again. ”

She glanced at Fu Mingzheng and said softly: "Let me guess, is Mingzhao on the way to Jiguo at the moment?" ”

Fu Mingzheng said coldly: "The minister doesn't know what the Empress Dowager is talking about. ”

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "You know, and you understand it very well." Remembering that the country is far away, Changhua's position is unstable, and he is still living a difficult life, where can he have time to take care of Ming Zhao? It's better to return to your hometown, you young people, you always leave your homeland easily, where do you know that although the world is big, the best truth in your hometown? ”

Fu Mingzheng looked at her coldly. Does this mean that she has already sent someone to intercept Fu Mingzhao on the way to Jiguo? It's really unfortunate that Fu Mingzhao will not go to remember the country in his life.

The Empress Dowager smiled: "You go down, I will tell you good news." ”

Fu Mingzheng didn't want to puncture her last dream, so he turned around and walked out.

There was a beautiful and innocent woman standing under the shade of the tree, Fu Mingzheng recognized it as Ji Hui, and walked towards her. Ji Hui's face was a little pale, she took a step back first, but she stood firm, bravely raised her head to look at Fu Mingzheng, and bowed dignifiedly: "The folk girl has seen Master Fu." ”

Fu Mingzheng looked at Ji Hui silently for a moment, nodded lightly, and turned to leave. Ji Hui looked at his distant back, quietly wiped the cold sweat from his palm, and not far away, Xiao Nanniang walked over happily and said in a low voice: "The master has a letter." ”
