Chapter Eighty-Seven: Overboard
From this point of view, Zong Zhenglu and Zong Zhengtang still have some feelings, and Zong Zhengtang was not too implicated because of Zong Zhengche's matter.
However, Huan Ci had never talked to her about it, after all, it was not a good thing, and she didn't know what Zong Zhengtang thought in his heart.
Zong Zhenglu looked at her gratefully: "So I thank you in advance." ”
"You're welcome." Huan Ci waved his hand, and some thoughts suddenly popped into his head. She looked Zong Zhenglu up and down, and asked curiously, "Do you want Tang'er to go and kiss?" ”
The man frowned: "Is this the kind of person I have in your heart?" ”
"How so? I just can't think of anyone in the capital who is suitable for Tang'er for a while. Huan Ci smiled and said this unwillingly word.
If Zong Zhenglu really did such a thing, she wouldn't be surprised.
"Why don't I knock on the side and ask her if she has anyone you like." She whispered.
In this way, it can also prevent the law of the sect from making a bad idea.
Zong Zhenglu couldn't guess her thoughts, and said with a smile: "Thank you." After saying that, he secretly glanced at Fu Shen, lowered his head and said in Huan Ci's ear: "Go back quickly, someone is going to be jealous." ”
Huan Ci subconsciously looked at Fu Shen, and the man looked at her steadily, with a little loss on his face.
She wasn't angry yet, he was wronged first.
Huan Ci Shi Ran saluted the Zongzheng Law, and then walked towards the Hanging Flower Gate. When she passed by Fu Shen, she didn't give the man a look, but smiled slightly at Yu Wenjie.
"Ah Ci." Fu Shen hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her, "I'll send you over." ”
"I don't dare to work you, you still entertain other guests in front." Huan withdrew his sleeve without a trace.
didn't see what the man's reaction was, she walked back quickly, and Zhao Qing and Lan Fu hurriedly followed.
There were already a lot of guests gathered in the garden, and Huan Ci had already ordered the troupe to start singing, and everyone was fascinated, so she sneaked around the corner, but still alarmed a few guests.
"Where have you been? Leaving us behind for so long? Princess Pingning took her hand and helped her sit down, "Yo, why are your hands so cold?" ”
"Are you cold, why don't we go inside? It's weird to sit here. Huan Ci looked left and right. It's only the second day of the first lunar month, and the weather hasn't warmed up yet, so don't freeze the guests out of any illness, and everyone will keep it on Fu Shen's head when the time comes.
Princess Ping lowered her head and chuckled: "How can we be so squeamish." You just have to take care of yourself, and you still have your body, why bother about this? ”
"Then here it is, I don't feel cold." Huan Ci said softly.
Princess Pingning came to sit beside her, swallowing melon seeds: "Up and down the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't you have a confidant?" ”
"What confidant?" Huan looked at her puzzled. Now all she thinks about is prudence.
Princess Pingning stretched out her hand and put a little on her head: "You, you, you are twenty-three years old this year, why are you still like those little girls who haven't left the pavilion." ”
She glanced up and glanced around, and saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, put down the melon seeds in her hand, and said in a low voice: "To say something unpleasant, you are an orphan girl, fatherless and motherless, and you have the identity of a princess, that is, you have a few money." Now that you and Fu Shen are newly married, it is a good time. But think about it, if a man can love you for a while, can he still love you for a lifetime? It's better to stuff a few of his own people around him now, so as to cultivate his own power, if he finds other women from outside in the future, once a man spoils his wife and destroys his concubine, I'm afraid that it will be too late for you to cry. ”
Huan Ci was stunned for a moment, and felt that what she said made some sense. She was worried about these things these days, so she asked her in a low voice: "But I have been discussing with him about taking a concubine for the past few days, but he is not very happy, what is going on?" ”
Princess Pingning covered her mouth and snickered twice: "Most of them are pretending, otherwise if you make a fuss about this matter in the future, he will not fall behind." You, don't understand their methods, they are retreating as advancing, am I right? ”
Zong Zhengtang was originally eavesdropping, but was suddenly named by Princess Pingning, so he had to turn around and lean over.
"I can't say it either." She muttered. She only knew that in those days in Linjiang, Su Chang almost never stayed in the mansion, and she mixed with those Qinglou women every day, and she didn't take her seriously at all. Princess Pingning is right, what is the use of the identity of the princess? Especially for those whose parents are dead and helpless.
"Ah Ci, I think what she said has some truth." Zong Zhengtang stared at Huan Ci, with a hint of sorrow between his eyebrows, "It's just that I don't think Fu Shen is an ordinary man, maybe not such a person?" ”
"Sure enough, you are little girls, and all men in the world are the same." Princess Pingning saw that the two of them did not listen to persuasion, so she moved back to her place to eat melon seeds.
Huan Ci raised his eyebrows, too lazy to think about this question again. She beckoned Zong Zhengtang to come over and whispered to her: "Ah Tang, have you ever thought about finding a new husband?" ”
"It's boring." Zong Zhengtang shook his head slowly, "I won't tell you, in fact, I want to go out of the palace to be a nun every day, but they will definitely not agree." ”
Huan Ci opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say a word. It was unexpectedly that Zong Zhengtang would think like this, but she understood her thoughts very well.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Zong Zhengtang laughed: "Look at what scared you, do you think I'm a weirdo like them?" Don't keep a good glory and wealth, but think about something like that. ”
"How so?" Huan Ci hurriedly shook his head. She just felt that Zong Zhengtang was too different from before, which inevitably made her sigh.
Zong Zhengtang looked at her faintly and said lightly: "Actually, I still have something I want to do." But to put it into detail, this matter was mentioned by Fu Shen by chance, and I think it's very good. ”
"What?" Huan Ci's curiosity suddenly rose.
Zong Zhengtang sighed lightly: "It's just a fantasy." He once mentioned that he wanted to build a different kind of school, and he also said that he wanted to recruit female students. At that time, I was thinking, if he really runs a school, then I will be a female master, which is a good thing. ”
Huan Ci blinked in surprise, only to feel his heart pounding.
"Tang'er, your idea is so good." She happily shook Zong Zhengtang's hand.
Why didn't she think about it? Her father had left so much money that she was bored with the affairs of the house every day, and she often wanted to find something new to do. In that case, why not set up a school?
Zong Zhengtang looked at her unexpectedly, but he didn't expect her to be interested. She was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Zhao Qing running over in three steps and two steps, and said in Huan Ci's ear: "My lord is coming this way with His Majesty." ”
"Why did you get here?" Huan Ci frowned, and soon saw a few people walking towards this side in the distance.
Everyone who was originally watching the play also saw them and hurriedly stood up to greet them.
However, Zong Zhenglu and Fu Shen did not come, standing by the lake and not knowing what they were saying.
"I'll go take a look." Huan Ci helped Zhao Qing to stand up and was about to go over. Zong Zhengtang also stood up and said, "I'll go with you." ”
Because they were nearby, everyone had no intention of watching the play, and looked over there intentionally or unintentionally, and even the group of little girls who sang the opera began to be absent-minded.
Huan Ci and Zong Zhengtang walked together, and suddenly saw a woman in a costume also walking in that direction. The man seemed stunned when he saw them coming, and then walked faster.
Huan Ci secretly wondered, looked at Zong Zhengtang face to face, and the movements under his feet became faster. At this moment, the woman approached them, a cold light flashed in her sleeve, and in an instant, a short knife appeared in her hand.
"Be careful." Huan Ci shouted loudly.
Seeing that the tip of the knife was about to touch Zong Zhenglu, Huan Ci wanted to push her away, but her feet slipped, and both of them fell into the lake.
In winter, the lake water was cold, and Huan Ci only felt that her limbs were biting cold, and she almost lost consciousness.
She heard people screaming in the crowd, singing stopped, and people jumping into the water.
She struggled desperately, trying to hold on to what would save her life, but in vain.
Suddenly, someone hugged her tightly from behind and whispered behind her ear: "Ah Ci, don't be afraid. ”
The voice seemed to have magical power, and Huan Ci calmed down almost instantly, no longer fluttering like Fang Cai.
Maybe it was just a moment, but she felt that after a long time, she was finally brought ashore. Someone took a clean cloak and wrapped it around her, and Huan Ci only felt panicked, and her body shook into the chaff.
"Go and get a doctor." Fu Shen picked her up horizontally and walked towards the main room with a brisk walk.
Huan Ci clutched his clothes tightly and buried his head in his chest, tears flowing uncontrollably. The sound of everyone subduing the Assassins was heard, and occasionally someone shouted orders to protect His Majesty.
She followed the last bit of clarity, tugged at Fu Shen's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Xuan Mo, go and see how Your Majesty is doing first." ”
Fu Shen glanced at her with a gloomy face, and said to Lan Fu with a cold face: "You go and watch." ”
When the two of them returned to the main room, a courtyard of people stared at them in surprise.
Fu Shen's face became more and more unkind, and he scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, go find clean clothes and boil hot water." ”
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, leaving Fu Shen still guarding her by the bedside. Huan Ci's teeth chattered from the cold, and she watched as the man ripped off her clothes one by one and threw them on the ground.
"Anyone is coming, is it all dead?" The man was so angry that even Huan Ci felt strange.
"Didn't you let them go?" She whispered as she shuddered.
Fu Shen glanced back at her, his gaze a little sharp.
Huan Ci pursed his lips, more aggrieved than Fang Cai, and his tears flowed more cheerfully: "What are you murderous? ”
Fu Shen was stunned for a moment, his face had eased a lot in the blink of an eye, and he pulled a layer of quilt and wrapped it around her, "Ah Ci, I didn't mean it, I was just anxious." ”
He found a handkerchief from the bed to help Huan Ci wipe his tears, and said softly: "Don't cry anymore, it's all my fault." ”
Huan Ci snorted softly, leaned his head on his shoulder and wept silently, only to find that the man's clothes were also soaked.
"You're about to change your clothes, be careful of catching a cold." She hurriedly looked up.
Fu Shen looked down at his embarrassed appearance and quickly got up from the bed. Two maids stood aside with clean clothes, and they both smiled secretly.
It didn't take long for someone to come in with a bathtub, and Huan Ci soaked comfortably for a while, and his mood was much happier. After she got dressed, Fu Shen had also returned to her usual demeanor, and walked to the bed with her in his arms.
The Imperial Doctor had been waiting outside for a long time, and now he was finally able to come in. He smelled the fragrant inner room and stepped forward respectfully.
The imperial physician who had just come with him was called over to serve the emperor, and when someone was called in a hurry, they guessed that something must have happened.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Fu Shen pacing restlessly, and when he saw him, he hurriedly dragged him over.
"I'm tired of the Imperial Doctor's help to take a look."
The imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward to observe Huan Ci's face, and asked her if she had symptoms of abdominal pain now, and then concentrated on helping her take her pulse.
After a long time, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily: "Don't worry, it's nothing, Madame just stay and cover it, as long as you don't catch a cold." If you really don't feel at ease, Wechen is writing a prescription, and Mrs. Custody will not be affected by this cold. ”
"I'm tired of Mr. Tired." Fu Shen said hurriedly.
