At this time, in the west wing room, Huan Ci was pressed against the corner, crowded with a pile of debris.
The place was filled with boxes, and there was no room to even put a foot down.
She listened for a long time with her ears open, and when the movement outside disappeared, she did not dare to go out, for fear that Liu Rao would come back and kill him.
"Come out."
Fu Shen stood in front of the door for a long time, gradually losing his patience.
"Is she gone?" Huan Ci poked his head out.
"What are you afraid of?" Fu Shen looked down at the sneaky woman bent over, with a smile on his face.
"Am I scared?" Huan Ci walked out confidently, his mouth pouting high.
Suddenly walking into the cold wind, she shivered uncontrollably.
"It's so cold, I have to go back."
"How do you plan to go back?" Fu Shen looked at her curiously.
"Isn't this simple?" Huan Ci smiled proudly.
Not long after, a smiling face slowly rose from the wall. That person was Huan Ci. Fu Shen's face was extremely gloomy when she stepped on his shoulders, but he still carefully supported her legs.
"Girl!" Ayao had been squatting by the wall for a long time. Now she saw her princess's face and she was so happy.
She happily moved the ladder over and waited for the girl to climb back over the wall.
Huan Ci awkwardly climbed up the wall, lowered his voice and said to Fu Shen, "I'm leaving."
Fu Shen just felt angry and funny at the moment, looking up at her clumsily disappearing over the wall.
Fortunately, she was still Huan Yuan's daughter, so she really didn't learn any of his father's wisdom and martial arts.
The man smiled and shook his head, then quickly turned around and went back to his room.
In the yard at the other end, Huan Ci was lying on the bed listlessly, thinking about Fu Shen's actions just now.
What does he mean? Is he toying with her, or does he really want her to regret her marriage?
The more Huan Ci thought about it, the more he felt a headache, and he kicked the quilt depressedly.
Ayao yawned sleepily on the bed outside. After the girl came back from Mr. Fu's house, she laughed and became angry, but she didn't say anything when asked. The cold wind blew outside for too long today, and she had already braced herself.
Can't stand it any longer.
Soon after, the shallow breathing of their master and servant could be heard in the room.
Early the next morning, when the two of them were sleeping in a deep sleep, someone suddenly banged on the door outside.
"Girl, His Majesty has called you to the palace, are you up yet?"
"It's bad, it's bad." Ayao jumped out of bed and hurried to her bedside to hand her clothes, "Isn't it because of those rumors that they asked you to enter the palace?"
"What are you afraid of?" Huan Ci slowly put on his clothes, "The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. Besides, you don't know, don't I have a good reputation before?"
"They won't regret their marriage, right? I think you and the prince are a good match, girl."
"You have stupid eyes." Huan Ci curled his lips and let her help him wash and dress up obediently.
She doesn't know why, but she doesn't like Zong Zhengche from the bottom of her heart, but she can't say she hates him.
On the way into the palace, Huan Ci lifted the curtain several times to look outside. There were fewer officers and soldiers on the street today than yesterday, which made her very confused.
It was not until he was sent to the Queen Mother's palace that Huan Ci knew the reason.
It turned out that my father drove the enemy troops out of Yanmen Pass with one go, and the capital city could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, Zong Zhengyuan went to court, so he invited her to the Queen Mother's Palace.
Huan Ci looked at the Queen Mother's kind smile and knew that all this was because his father won the battle.
"Girl Huan," the Queen Mother held her hand and patted it, "the Ai family heard some rumors in the palace a few days ago, which really hurts you. I don't know who is so heartless as to spread such rumors.
.Don't worry, the emperor has sent people to investigate secretly in the shop, and he will give you justice soon."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Huan Ci smiled pretending to be grateful. But she was really happy at this time. Her father had just won the battle, and she was also very happy.
"Li Qi, go get the pair of bracelets I found yesterday." The Queen Mother said to the eunuch beside her.
Huan Ci pretended to look up casually, and happened to look at him.
The eunuch named Li Qi smiled at her, then turned and went elsewhere. Not long after, he came over with a smile on his face, holding a box, and handed it to Huan Ci with both hands raised.
"This is a little bit of the Ai family's wishes, please accept it." The Queen Mother said softly, holding a tea cup.
Li Qi opened the box in time, and a pair of priceless bracelets appeared in front of him.
Ayao and Huan Ci looked at each other and understood immediately, and stepped forward to take the box.
With a smile on his face, Huan Ci stood up and bowed obediently to thank the Queen Mother for her kindness.
She ignored him when rumors spread a few days ago, but immediately changed her attitude after receiving the good news from her father last night. It seems that the Queen Mother also hopes that Zong Zhengche can have his father as her father-in-law, but she still prefers her own grandson.
ah.
In the following time, Huan Ci was dragged into talking to her for half a day, which was nothing more than matters related to Zong Zhengche.
When the two of them were searching for a topic in the room, Zong Zhengyuan suddenly walked in with great swagger, followed by Zong Zhengche and Zong Zhengtang.
After the three of them had saluted the Queen Mother, Huan Ci hurriedly stood up and saluted them.
She seemed to glance at Zong Zhengche inadvertently, and the man was also staring at her seriously.
"Ding'an, I know that what happened a few days ago must have caused trouble to you, so I specially called you here. Please relax, I have sent someone to investigate this matter, and I will give you an explanation soon." Zong Zheng
Yuan's voice is very deep.
But at this moment, beneath his kind surface was deep disgust.
It is true that this matter was deliberately spread, but Fu Shen, the minister of Dali Temple whom he deeply trusted, had personally admitted it the day before yesterday.
It was really unbelievable that one was the treasure he thought he had found, and the other was the daughter of a king with a different surname that he wished he could get rid of. These two people actually had such a history.
Huan Ci was extremely disgusted with him. She smiled with the corner of her mouth, stood up and thanked him again.
"I have decided to send Fu Shen to Puzhou tomorrow. He can no longer stay in the capital."
Before Huan Ci could react, Zong Zhengtang's eyes were already red: "Your Majesty, you also said it was a rumor, so why bother confronting Your Majesty like this?"
Seeing Zong Zhengtang's appearance, the Queen Mother sighed softly: "Tang'er's words make sense. If you demote him to an official position, wouldn't it embolden that villain? I don't think this is appropriate."
"My nephew also thinks it's inappropriate. Doesn't this mean that Fu Shen has been wronged for no reason?" Zong Zhengche echoed from the side.
Zong Zhengyuan achieved his desired goal, but he still did not forget to test Huan Ci: "Ding'an, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
"Master Fu is your Majesty's minister, so naturally it is your Majesty who has the final say." Huan Ci said softly.
If Fu Shen is demoted at this time, it will really make outsiders think a lot, and they don't know what this person is worried about.
