Chapter Ninety-Seven: Concealment

Huan Ci was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted to her words, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”

The nurse knew that she didn't want to say more, so she quickly diverted the topic.

The whole day was a mess, and the child was better when she was awake, but when the child was asleep, she looked out the window.

At night, Zhao Qing came to see her, holding the child and playing non-stop, but he didn't say a word about Fu Shen.

"Where have you been today?" Huan Ci asked.

The smile on Zhao Qing's face instantly subsided a lot: "I followed everyone to find the prime minister." ”

"Then," Huan Ci hung his head, "how about now?" ”

Zhao Qing shook his head lightly: "I have searched that area, but I haven't found anyone." She put the child on the bed, squatted on the side of the bed and held Huan Ci's hand: "I don't know who those people are, but they haven't caught the prime minister either." The prime minister is so capable, he will definitely be fine, don't worry. ”

Huan Ci nodded, agreeing with her words. At that time, the situation was urgent, maybe Fu Shen thought of a way to get out, but he didn't have a chance to tell her, so now that he is separated, maybe he will come back in two days.

Zhao Qing saw that her persuasion worked, and began to hold the little girl's hand to tease her again, and asked with a smile: "What is the name of this child?" ”

Huan Ci was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that she and Fu Shen were so busy that they forgot about this stubble. She had never thought about this before, the child was born earlier than expected, and now that Fu Shen is not there, it is better to prepare a few first, and then discuss it with Fu Shen later.

"Why don't we give her a nickname first." Zhao Qing saw her embarrassment, and suddenly regretted that she had to talk more.

Huan Ci looked at the ugly appearance of the little girl, pondered for a moment, clapped his hands and said, "It's better to be called Chen'er, she was born in Chenshi." ”

"Sounds like a boy's name." Zhao Qing said with a smile.

Huan Ci teased the child beside the bed, calling the name again and again. The child just stared at her fixedly, his eyes rolling around with the bracelet in her hand.

*

The sky was dark, the small village outside Jizhou City was full of smoke, and the most remote small courtyard was pitch black, if you didn't look carefully, you would definitely not see the two people standing by the door.

Lan Fu sat on the edge of the bed, anxiously looking at the doctor's expression. Although everything was expected, Fu Shen was still injured, and the man woke up during the day, but he only looked at them deeply and fell asleep.

There were four or five men standing underground, all staring at the man on the bed. They had come with Lan Fu, and had followed them all the way, except for a few of them, and the rest of them were all scattered around the village. Yesterday, they fought all the way from behind, and by the time they fought with Fu Shen, Li Jinxiu and Huan Ci had disappeared, and the people sent by Kong Lin were also in front of them, so they retreated first.

After a while, the doctor finally moved, moved his legs to stand up, and said in a deep voice: "The injury is too serious, I need to light the lamp to take a closer look, I don't know if there is anything wrong with the bones?" ”

"This?" Lan Fu looked up at the people underground.

This place was specially found by them, it was an abandoned courtyard, and if it was lit now, it would arouse suspicion, but Fu Shen's injury could not help but look at it.

"Go find something and cover up here." Lan Fu pointed to the window.

Everyone looked at each other a few times and quickly went outside to find a suitable thing. When they didn't know what to do, Lan Fu took the lamp and lit it, put a cover on the outside, and covered it with a thick layer of cloth.

After lighting the lamp, the doctor carefully examined Fu Shen's bones. He was so badly injured that the bones in his leg were broken, and he had to be connected as soon as possible.

As he expected, as soon as he touched Fu Shen's wound, the man opened his eyes and looked at him in confusion.

Lan Fu saw him wake up, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask him, "How are you?" ”

Fu Shen looked around the room and shook his head slightly.

The doctor saw him wake up, touched his leg, and said in a deep voice: "I'll help you pick up the bones, it may hurt a little, you bear with it." ”

Not long after, there were five or six people guarding the courtyard, and only a faint light came out of the window. Inside the room, Lan Fu looked at the sweaty man on the bed, and kept pulling his fingers.

After the doctor called, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her bandage.

Half an hour later, there were only two people left in the courtyard, everything was back to its original state, and the lights in the house were extinguished. Fu Shen half-leaned on the bed, looking at his tightly wrapped legs. Yesterday, in order to hold Huan Ci's carriage, he was hit by an arrow when he ran over, rolled down the slope, and he didn't know where he hit it.

Lan Fu had already told him the whereabouts of Huan Ci, and he gradually relieved himself, but he still couldn't go to her.

Now that there was no one else in the room, it was deserted, and his thoughts were a little confused. He had already deduced who had sent him, and now he just needed to lure the snake out of the hole. It's just that Huan Ci is about to give birth, and he can't rest assured that he will leave her there alone at this time.

Suddenly, someone outside buttoned the window: "Third master, I have something to report." ”

"Say!"

"Madame has already given birth."

Fu Shen's eyes were originally closed, but when he heard this, he looked out the window in surprise. Lan Fu was walking this way, even if he was a little far away, he heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then reacted, and pushed the door into the house with a smile: "Congratulations to the third master." ”

The man glanced at her and asked the outsider, "How is she?" ”

"It should be fine."

"Got it." Fu Shen lowered his eyes and pinched the purse in his hand.

His legs and arms were injured, and now his movement was very inconvenient, and his temperament was a little big, and now with this lost look, Lan Fu didn't dare to step forward to provoke him, so he didn't say a word.

"Tell them to go down and let them act quickly."

In the darkness, the man suddenly spoke.

Three days later –

Zong Zhenglu had been staring at the secret report in front of him for a long time, and the eunuch Huang Yuan next to him had already noticed the abnormality, and lightly took the tea cup from the apprentice's hand and put it on the table.

Even though he was so cautious, Zong Zhenglu still looked up at him, his gaze extremely cold.

Huang Yuan hurriedly knelt on the ground, hanging his head and not daring to speak.

"Get up." Zong Zhenglu said with a smile.

Huang Yuan raised his eyebrows, stood up and said with a hippie smile: "Thank you for sparing the slave's life." ”

Zong Zhenglu shook his head helplessly. The eunuchs in the palace have always been oily and smooth, and they are used to coaxing people to be happy. He looked at the secret report on the table and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I am ruthless and unjust?" ”

"The minion didn't mean that." Huang Yuan's face turned pale with fright.

Zong Zhenglu gave him a blank look: "When did I say that you meant this?" ”

Huang Yuan glanced at the secret report on the table and hurriedly looked away, not knowing why Zong Zhenglu would ask such a strange question.

The man noticed his gaze, squinted at him, and then turned his head to look at the secret report on the table. This secret report was submitted by Fu Shen, who had read it carefully, and had an idea of the general situation in the south. But he heard that Fu Shen was seriously wounded, and that he had come up with this scheme. Despite this, there was no trace of guilt in his heart.

Maybe that's how being an emperor should be.

Zong Zhenglu closed the secret report and threw it aside, and reached out to take out the fold handed by Ji Shangshu. As expected, it was really another impeachment of Fu Shen.

I watched a few in succession, all of them were impeached and prudent, and I think it was discussed.

He was no longer interested, turned the Buddha bead in his hand and stood up and ordered: "Go to Qiwu Palace." ”

Qiwu Palace is Liu Rao's residence. Now she is pampered, and the people in the palace have long been accustomed to it. And she is pregnant now, she will give birth in more than two months, Zong Zhenglu has no child yet, if this child can be born safely, it will be Zong Zhenglu's first child, and he will be very favored.

At this time, in Jizhou City, Huan Ci was having dinner accompanied by Zhao Qing. Chen'er was held by the nurse, and she was finally able to rest for a while.

Sweeping Leaves had woken up three days ago, but he was seriously injured and couldn't get off the ground now. Huan Ci sent Zhao Qing to see him, and he no longer had to worry about his life, but he just had to lie down in bed to recuperate.

According to Saoye, when her carriage fell, Fu Shen rushed over, and Saoye followed him to help him break off. It's just that Fu Shen fell down after being hit by an arrow, and he was too panicked at the time, so he was surrounded by people and slashed a few times.

The rest of the story has long been known. Kong Lin brought people to rescue him in time, and Li Jinxiu also found her and took them to Kong Lin's mansion.

Since Sweeping Ye said so, then Fu Shen must be fine, otherwise how could he not see people alive and dead without seeing corpses?

But where did he go? I haven't looked for her for so many days, and Huan Ci is very upset. What made her most depressed was that despite all precautions, the people in the prison still died. They had been examined for two days, and they only said that they had committed suicide by taking poison, but they could not say what kind of poison they were taking.

Kong Lin has already written an excerpt and reported it to Zong Zhenglu, but the time is too short, and he has not replied yet. The people sent out to look for Fu Shen came back one after another, and only a bunch of inconsequential things were recovered.

Suddenly, a woman came in from outside the door, looked at the people in the room and smiled: "Why are you all sullen and don't speak?" ”

She is Li Jinxiu's wife Qiao Jing, and she also came to see Huan Ci the day before yesterday and chatted with her for a day. Huan Ci has been idle, and it would be happier to have someone to accompany her.

Zhao Qing went over to help her over and sat down, and asked, "I just ate it, I'll bring another pair of bowls and chopsticks." ”

"Okay!" Qiao Jing's eyes lit up, "Recently, the doctor didn't let me eat meat, and I was controlled everywhere at home, but now I can eat a bite of food here with you." ”

"Since the doctor won't let you eat it, don't eat it." Huan Ci snatched the chopsticks from her hand.

Qiao Jing is only eighteen years old now, five years younger than her, in her opinion, the woman is clearly a little girl, or a ghostly girl, although she has only known each other for a day, but Qiao Jing is very unrecognizable.

No, she had just snatched the chopsticks, and Qiao Jing wrapped up and pulled her arm to coquettishly: "Good sister, I'll just take a bite." ”
