9 Chapter 9

"You...... You ......"

Zhao Yao panicked instantly, and even Zhao Pei, who fell on the chair and was watching the play quietly, was stunned.

Fang Linyuan was quite lucky.

can shut up Her Royal Highness the princess, who is a cannon fighter, and it is worth it for him to suffer this time.

Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave this place of right and wrong, a hand suddenly fell on his shoulder.

He tilted his head slightly, and saw Zhao Pu behind him take him back and stand in front of him.

Crossing his brocade-draped shoulders, Fang Linyuan saw Zhao Yao's small movement of taking a step back slightly.

“…… What are you doing? She was a little inward-looking.

I saw Zhao Xuan lowering his eyes and looking at her coldly.

"I'm sure you're past the age where you want me to remind you what not to say and what not to do." He said.

Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, and was immediately reminded of his memory.

Her expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

When she was twelve years old, she said that Zhao Pu's mother was a slut, and forced Zhao Pu to admit it too, otherwise she would pick the plum blossom at the highest point in the imperial garden.

Zhao Pu had a hard mouth, and would rather go up to the tree to pick flowers than say a word, she only felt disappointed, and trampled the flowers and drove Zhao Pu away.

"There are some things to say carefully."

Before leaving, Zhao Pu whispered to her.

She didn't care. But the next day, she was inexplicably separated from the palace people and was imprisoned in a rockery cave in the corner of the imperial garden, until the early morning of the next day, her father sent someone to turn the entire imperial garden over, and found her who was almost fainting from the cold.

She cried and told her mother that it was Zhao Pu's little slut who did it, but her mother said that the little slut had been recuperating in the palace all day and had never come out at all.

She cried and asked her father to investigate thoroughly, but her father became more and more impatient, and even forbade her feet while she was still sick and asked her to meditate.

"You...... You admit it, you admit it, don't you! Zhao Yao came back to her senses and stared at Zhao Pu with angry eyes.

saw Zhao Pu glancing at her coldly.

"You say! You admit that you did it, don't you! Thinking of the dark and cold night in the cave, Zhao Yao trembled all over, staring at her with a pair of eyes.

Zhao Pu picked up Fang Linyuan with one hand and left without saying a word.

Zhao Yao watched the two of them walk out of the hall side by side, it was clear that a man and a woman were of the same size, but they were not strange at all, but they were a kind of match.

Her eyes were annoyed, but she hated it to the bone marrow as if she had been rescued from the cave that day, but she didn't dare to step forward.

Until the doors of the temple were reopened, silence reigned.

Zhao Yao grabbed the cup on the table and slammed it to the ground.

"I'm going to tell my father!" She exclaimed.

——

On the carriage, Zhao Pu's cold gaze moved lightly away from Fang Linyuan's wound.

He had never planned to let Fang Linyuan do anything for him.

He used Fang Linyuan because among his many admirers, only Fang Linyuan's identity and family background were the simplest. When he had to cover up his eyes and ears through his in-laws, Fang Linyuan was the best choice.

Even if he was forced to pull into his game, he would not let the other party suffer, and what he needed Fang Linyuan to do was to keep his mouth shut.

His request never included letting Fang Linyuan be injured for him.

Zhao Pu said to himself in his heart.

As for Zhao Yao's idiot, unless he wanted to, he couldn't get close to him at all, but Fang Linyuan wanted to block it for him, obviously making his own opinion.

But even so, his gaze drifted uncontrollably again.

The bright red three scratches were not deep, and they had gradually begun to scab over at this time. But the slender neck was surprisingly white, and I don't know what kind of sand was wrapped in the wind at the border, and how it couldn't blow him black.

It made the wound look particularly shocking.

Zhao Xuan's brows furrowed.

It was as if a brocade had been torn and hooked, and the silk was hooked on a string somewhere in his heart.

Zhao Pu had never had this kind of experience of being protected behind him, so much so that he thought that the crux of the problem was Fang Linyuan's excessive move.

Just like on the day of the wedding, he had to think of himself as a blind man and led himself all the way.

Thinking of this, Zhao Pu's hand on his knee unconsciously retracted slightly, as if his skin and flesh instinctively pursued the softness when he was held that day.

But Zhao Pu didn't notice it slowly, just because he wasn't bored with his many things.

And his gaze fell on the wound on Fang Linyuan's neck again before he knew it.

This time, he bumped into Fang Linyuan's turned gaze head-on.

Fang Linyuan looked him up and down, his expression puzzled and wary.

Zhao Pu was stunned, and then saw Fang Linyuan asking with a vigilant expression, "Why do you keep looking at me?" ”

——

Zhao Pu's frequent gaze made Fang Linyuan's heart furious.

The wound on his neck only hurt for a moment, and he quickly forgot about it, and he forgot about it.

He only felt that Zhao Pu's gaze was strange, and he glanced at him for a while, and he didn't speak with an expressionless face, which was strange.

Fang Linyuan really couldn't help but ask.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Pu only looked at him coldly for a moment, and then turned his gaze away.

"Nothing." Just listen to him whisper.

What the hell is he going to do, can you say it directly!

Fang Linyuan was speechless for a while.

He had no choice but to quickly review what he had just seen and heard.

Suddenly he thought of something, and his heart sank.

Could it be that Zhao Yao said that he was a "wild seed"?

Looking at the secretive appearance of those palace people just now, presumably Zhao Yao's words were not scolded casually. But the purity of the royal bloodline is by no means child's play, if Zhao Pu really has any unclean background, he will never live in the palace to this day.

But......

Also, the blood relationship of parents has always been engraved in the bones, and few people in the world will be indifferent when they hear this.

Thinking of the appearance of Zhao Pu who wanted to speak and stopped all the way, Fang Linyuan hesitated for a while, but reluctantly spoke and comforted him.

"You don't have to take Zhao Yao's words to heart." He said.

"Huh?" I saw Zhao Xuan looking at him, his eyebrows raised slightly, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

"You look quite like Your Majesty." Fang Linyuan said seriously.

——

Zhao Pu immediately understood what Fang Linyuan meant.

Did he think that he was still worried about what Zhao Yao said just now?

Fang Linyuan didn't mention it, he had already forgotten.

What Zhao Yao said is indeed true, and since he can remember, he has often heard the palace people discuss.

They said that Empress Dou was pregnant on the way to accompany the emperor on his tour. At that time, when she had just entered the territory of Yanzhou, Empress Dou said that Yanzhou was in constant trouble, and in order to protect the emperor's safety, she asked the emperor to take a detour.

The emperor did not take her advice, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered Yanzhou, the emperor's carriage and horses were robbed by bandits.

But it was Queen Dou who robbed her.

It turned out that after Empress Dou's proposal was rejected by the emperor, she asked for a secret exchange of chariots with the emperor, and the emperor reluctantly agreed, so that he escaped the catastrophe.

Two days later, Jinyiwei rescued the robbed Empress Dou. As soon as Queen Dou returned to the palace, she diagnosed the happy pulse.

Even if the living notes clearly wrote the days when Queen Dou went out to sleep on the way out, rumors gradually spread - Queen Dou was robbed into the bandit village for two days, who can tell what happened in those two days?

It was impossible for his conceited and suspicious father not to care about this rumor, even if his mother was trapped in the bandit village to save his life.

Zhao Puda has tried all the rumored methods of family inspection in the world since he can remember.

Even when he was five years old, he was secretly taken into a secret room, which was filled with the bones of the bandits who had robbed his mother. The eunuch dragged him and dripped blood on the bones one by one, until he was sure that not a single drop of blood had penetrated into the bones, and then let him go.

Even his mother didn't know about this.

After many years, even his father and emperor stopped trying, and no one in the palace mentioned the old things anymore.

Including him, he is no longer the waste who was frightened by the mountains of bones in the secret room and had a high fever.

It is a fool like Zhao Yao who will dig up this matter and use it as a weapon to attack him.

However, looking at the worried gaze of Lin Yuan above, Zhao Pu felt that these nonsense were quite interesting for the first time.

Is he comforting him?

Zhao Pu, who had been treated like this for the first time, was a little curious, and his gaze couldn't help but stop on Fang Linyuan's face.

And he didn't know that his eyes that were too beautiful and charming, when he looked at others, there would always be a little more rude coldness and ridicule.

He watched as the comfort in Fang Linyuan's eyes disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye after being stunned.

“…… When I didn't say. ”

I saw Fang Linyuan grit his teeth and finish speaking, turned his head, looked out the window, and ignored him anymore.

Just when Zhao Pu didn't understand why Fang Linyuan had a cold face again, the three scratches were exposed to Zhao Pu's sight again.

As Fang Linyuan turned his head, the new scab that had just knotted was gently pulled, and a tiny bead of blood was soaked out.

Zhao Pu couldn't help but look there again.

It was as if he saw the thread that tugged at his heartstrings.

It seemed that as long as he reached out and gently picked it away, the torn silk had nothing to do with him.

Thinking so, he raised his hand and wiped the bead of blood away with his knuckles.

The touch of the dragonfly in the water.

He seemed to have picked on it, but instead of picking off the silk, he stroked it on the silk, delicate and soft.

Zhao Pu was a little regretful, but he couldn't help twisting his fingertips.

Fang Linyuan bounced up from the spot almost instantly.

"What are you doing!"

He covered his neck, looked at Zhao Pu with a frightened face, and took a big step in the direction of the carriage.

It was as if it was a knife that had killed him in the neck.
