Fu Jiuqu smiled lowly, got closer, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Why are you so sure?"

He suspected that it was not the first time that Xin Yi had been skilled.

Xin Yi was relieved, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm a doctor." ”

Fu Jiuqu lowered his head, staring at her plain and smiling face, and it took a while for a smile to escape from his throat.

"So I'm not worried."

Xin Yi bowed slightly, "I didn't mean that." I am very grateful that the king of the county passed by here at night and did not forget to warn me of the danger. ”

She looked at Fu Jiuqu levelly, hesitated for a moment and said, "But I'm a little curious, if the concubine really doesn't wake up, will the official family be angry with me because of this?" I don't think the official family is this kind of indiscriminate person, what is the king of the county worried about? ”

Fu Jiuqu stood quietly, as if he didn't want to say that his mother's uncle was bad, but there was an imperceptible dark light in his eyes.

"Even if he has no intention of anger, he is afraid that someone will provoke him."

Xin Yi looked at his deep eyes and curled his lips lightly.

"Let me ask a word that shouldn't be asked, who is the one who provoked the pig at the silkworm ceremony?"

"Haven't you heard?"

"It's rumored in the palace that it's Miss Cao, why don't I think it's credible?"

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows, "Do you think it's not her?" ”

Xin Yi shook her head, "She resents me, but she won't ruin her aunt's silkworm ceremony regardless of the occasion." If she doesn't even have this overall view, then the Cao family may not be able to tolerate her. ”

Fu Jiuqu's eyebrows raised slightly, "You are the first person to speak for her." ”

“……”

Xin Yi is just talking about things, and he doesn't care about falling into the well at such a time, especially since the other party is Cao Yilan, the future princess of the county. She felt that it was very rude to mention her in front of Fu Jiuqu, so she took a step back.

"Today, thanks to the king of the county for taking care of Sannian, I was too busy to take care of her. When this is over, I will thank the king of the county. ”

"How are you going to thank me?" Fu Jiuqu's eyes were deep and he asked Xin Yi.

Her words were originally kind words, and most people would not take them seriously.

"The king of the county......" she wanted to say something, but before the words came out, she couldn't help laughing, "The place where I can return to the king of the county is nothing more than to study the way of medicine and diagnose the king of the county." Others, if you want to repay, you are also powerless. ”

She stood a few steps away from Fu Jiuqu, her eyes lowering slightly, as if she didn't want to meet him.

Fu Jiuqu frowned, he didn't like this kind of alienation very much.

"You're afraid of me?"

"Nope."

"Then I'm a flood beast, can't I? Come closer! ”

Xin Yi quickly raised his eyes, panicking like a thief.

"King of the county, in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows may cause gossip."

Fu Jiuqu's eyes were calm, and he slowly walked in front of her and stopped.

"You don't want to get involved with me? Having a personal affair with me makes you so scared and disliked? ”

“……”

The word private affection came out of Fu Jiuqu's mouth for the first time, Xin Yi was a little embarrassed to hear it, his face was enthusiastic for a while, and he replied quickly and urgently.

"Of course. The king of the county is a nobleman, so he is naturally not afraid of what others say. But as a civilian, what I am most afraid of is this kind of soft knife...... Spit stars can kill people, although I have thicker skin and flesh than Miss Cao, but if I go on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand it a few times......"

Fu Jiuqu's eyebrows were slightly cold.

Staring at her, staring at her for a moment.

It's been so long that I seem to have forgotten to look away.

Xin Yi's heart was beating fast, he smiled slightly, and bowed to Fu Jiuqu again.

"I'm going to get busy. It's more exposed, and the county king should go back to rest earlier. ”

Fu Jiuqu didn't speak, or snorted.

Xin Yi's footsteps paused for a moment, slowly passed by him, and walked towards the long road behind Fu Jiuqu.

Fu Jiuqu didn't turn around, nor did she move, the surroundings were so quiet that there was no wind at all, Xin Yi felt that there was a brief blank in her brain, as if there was a strange force dominating her steps, walking very slowly......

I don't know how long it took, she thought that Fu Jiuqu was already far away, and when she came back to her senses, she realized that he was not far behind her.

The wind is windy, and the footsteps are slow.

Keep the distance you deserve from her, but not too far away from her.

Fu Jiuqu: What is this doing?

Afraid that she is in danger, do you come to protect her?

Xin Yi's heartbeat was inexplicably faster, her chest seemed to be filled with something, and the joy that suddenly surged in her heart was like a wild horse on the loose, making her ears hot, her cheeks hot, and even her steps strangely light.

But there are many people in the palace here, and there will be people who will pay attention to it when they come and go, she doesn't want to provoke right and wrong, and she doesn't dare to turn back and ask Fu Jiuqu, so she immediately sped up her pace, and stepped into the palace gate in three or two steps, as if a ghost was chasing.

After a while, the voice of an attendant came from behind.

"I've seen the King of Guangling."

"Is the official family resting?"

"The official is waiting for you in the room."

"Hmm."

Xin Yi's tense nerves loosened suddenly, and when he looked back, he only saw a corner of Fu Jiuqu's skull, and his face was so red that he almost burned.

Bah!

Self-inflicted.

People are really just passing by.

I didn't come here to protect her.

It's just a real way.

Fortunately, others can't see the thoughts in his heart, otherwise, Xin Yi would feel embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Somehow for a while, she may have had too much contact with Fu Jiuqu, and because of those ambiguous and fragrant rumors, she sometimes had the illusion that Fu Jiuqu treated her differently from others, would she like her......

Looking back now, she really wanted to slap herself twice.

How can such a low-level mistake be made?

Fu Jiuqu's character is a ruthless and unrighteous cold-blooded animal, she actually thought that he would be intimate and protective and accompany him late at night?

When I say it, I'm afraid I'm going to laugh off other people's big teeth.

～

Fu Jiuqu watched the slender figure disappear from his eyes, his face quickly sank, he flicked his sleeves slightly, and went to the side hall under the guidance of the inner attendant.

Incense curled up, Zhao Guanjia sat there drinking tea with a displeased face, and when he saw Fu Jiuqu coming in slowly, his brows frowned slightly, and the tea cup fell.

"If you don't go back to sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing when you enter the palace to find me?"

Fu Jiuqu bowed his hand and smiled lightly.

"The concubine's injury has not healed, and Weichen guesses that the official family must be restless tonight, tossing and turning, so he specially gave his mother and came to talk with the official's family and gossip......

"Stay with me?" Zhao Zhen glanced at him and snorted lowly, "You can coax your mother with these words." ”

Fu Jiuqu smiled but did not answer.

Zhao Zhen motioned to the waiter, "Give me a seat." ”

Fu Jiuqu: "Uncle refuses to accompany his nephew to talk about a game?" ”

Zhao Zhen twisted his eyebrows and looked at him for a moment, pursed his lips slightly, waved his hand, and the waiter quickly set up the chessboard, and then retreated silently.

There was no one else in the room, and the two nephews and uncles sat opposite each other.

The situation on the chessboard changed, and neither of them spoke.

After a while, Zhao Zhen raised his eyes to look at Fu Jiuqu, who was gloomy.

"Although you are not the son of the heavenly family, you are also a royal nobleman, my only nephew, and countless people are watching you every word and deed. Your face is my face......"

Fu Jiuqu lifted his eyelids, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Did the nephew make my uncle lose face?"

Zhao Zhen pursed his lips and looked at him, there was no smile on his face, and his voice was a little low, faintly listening, there was a sense of reproach.

"Don't think I don't know your little thoughts. Aren't you afraid that I'll blame you for that little lady Zhang? What else do you say that you are afraid that I will be restless, and you are here to accompany me? Hum! You, you, have read so many books of sages in vain, and now you have no sense of proportion. The dignified county king, let the gossip fill the capital, but did nothing. What kind of heart do you say you have in peace? ”

A white chess piece tossed between Fu Jiuqu's fingers.

"Uncle is too worried. Since Xingyuan's death, the sister-in-law is alone with three children, and she is in a difficult situation, and the nephew is just a hand, and if she can help, she will help, and she never dares to have extra thoughts. The rumors stop at the wise, and the nephew is not inactive, but he doesn't want to get darker and darker......"

"Smack!"

A sunspot fell heavily on the chessboard, and Zhao Zhen looked up at him.

"Ask yourself, are these words from your heart? It's just you and me tonight, and my uncle will give you a chance to show your heart......"

Fu Jiuqu was silent.

There was silence all around.

After a while, Fu Jiuqu slowly got up, pulled out a chair and waved his hand at Zhao Zhen.

"The eldest husband made a promise, I swore in front of Xingyuan that I would take good care of his wife and children, how could I do something that was not as good as a pig and a dog? I called her sister-in-law, and she was my sister-in-law. ”

Zhao Zhen stared at him.

For a moment, I sighed.

"Idiot, what are you hiding from you?"

Fu Jiuqu's eyes drooped slightly, "No." ”

Zhao Zhen stared at him: "Then I will ask you again, but you are willing to marry the eldest girl of the Cao family?" ”

Fu Jiuqu didn't look up, paused slightly, and then responded to him in a low voice.

"Willingly."

Before the voice fell, a low voice came from outside.

"Official—"

Zhao Zhen glanced at him, "What's the matter?" ”

The chamberlain glanced at Fu Jiuqu, and seemed to be a little speechless.

"The eldest lady of Caofu entered the palace late at night and asked to see the saint."

Zhao Zhen's brows furrowed, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied, "Are you here to visit the patient?" Hmph, it's all at this point, is it really my inner palace to be his family's back garden? ”

"No, it's not." The waiter's gaze always wandered away from Fu Jiuqu, and then walked to Zhao Zhen's side, and said in a low voice as if biting his ear: "I heard that the little one is Miss Cao...... To get out of the marriage. Somehow, the eldest lady agreed, and hurriedly entered the palace to consult with the sage. ”

Fu Jiuqu's eyes sank slightly.

The relationship between the emperor and the queen has always been delicate, and it is not surprising that the official family has spies by Empress Cao's side, just as Empress Cao will have spies by the official family.

But why did the Cao family enter the palace at night to talk about the marriage contract?

What's going on?

------Off topic------

Today, in order to see an 82-year-old plane with the top stream of the universe, I wrote very slowly, slowly, and I was still restless......

The second chapter was written, but I felt that the state was a little wrong, and I was going to change it again.

Tomorrow at least Wan Gengha~~ make up for it!
