"In this case, Shi Dingyou, the head of the Puzhou Governor's Office, resigned a few days ago, so why not let Fu Shen take over this position." Zong Zhengyuan said, playing with the tassels on his clothes.
Huan Ci's brows twitched. The governor of Puzhou was Zong Zhengche, but he was far away in Yingdu and only had a false post. If Fu Shen took this position, wouldn't he be able to dominate Puzhou with one hand? It seems that the emperor has no intention of giving up.
With Fu Shen, he made good use of this matter.
She secretly glanced at Zong Zhengche, and saw that the man looked relaxed now, and there was no sign of any displeasure on his face.
Zong Zhengtang, on the other hand, was obviously relieved, and his expression turned from worry to joy.
After meeting her gaze, Huan Ci suddenly remembered what happened in Fu Shen's yard last night, and he actually felt guilty.
The Queen Mother looked at her dark eyes and thought she was upset because of the rumors in the past few days, so she forced her to stay in the palace for one night.
Obviously the matter was over in this way, but for some reason, Huan Ci felt even more depressed.
There are more rules in the palace than outside, and there are almost no people walking around after dark.
At the back of the Queen Mother's palace, Huan Ci was leaning on the tub and taking a bath comfortably.
Things in the palace were indeed better than outside, and she felt completely refreshed after just soaking for a while.
"Princess, the Queen Mother ordered this old slave to send me some things."
Suddenly a familiar voice sounded outside the door.
It was Li Qi. His voice was very unique, and Huan Ci remembered it the first time he heard it.
She turned to look at Ayao who was also surprised, and quickly got out of the tub.
"Invite him in quickly."
After staying in the palace for more than ten years, Li Qi soon knew that he had come at the wrong time based on the fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose. He always lowered his head and saluted in the direction of Huan Ci.
"Please get up quickly." Huan Ci wrapped his robe tightly around his body and looked at the fallen man intently.
Li Qi still lowered his eyelids and quickly stepped forward and handed the tray in his hand to Huan Ci.
"A Yao, go get the purse hanging on my clothes." Huan Ci gave A Yao a look.
Ayao understood immediately and took three steps at a time to go outside to relax.
Li Qi curled his lips and lowered his voice: "Everything is fine with King Dingyuan, Princess, don't worry. This victory has a high chance, and Modi is indeed the prince's man. But if the war ends, the prince is worried that the rabbit will die.
Cook, so you told me to facilitate the marriage between you and the prince. But I didn’t expect that something like this would happen in the near future.”
"How did my father-in-law communicate with my father?" Huan Ci asked with his eyebrows raised.
Since the martial law in Beijing, she has not received a letter from her father.
"The person who sent the news to the palace this time is one of mine, but he was sent by the palace. He came back directly after entering the capital."
"I see." Huan Ci nodded, "I understand what father means. Father-in-law, please go back quickly to avoid arousing suspicion."
"Princess, be careful in everything you do." Li Qi told him and hurried back to resume his life.
Huan Ci spent the night full of thoughts, got up early and hurried out of the palace. When he passed by Fu Shen's house, the officers and soldiers were no longer visible, and even the lanterns hanging in front of the door had been taken off.
The servants told her that an imperial edict was passed to the next door yesterday. Fu Shen left shortly after receiving the edict, and no one was guarding the house now.
"A man named Sao Ye asked me to give this to the princess." The servant took out a sachet and handed it to Huan Ci.
Huan Ci opened the sachet curiously, and the expression on his face froze instantly.
The sachet contains the earrings that disappeared yesterday. I haven't found them since I came back last night. Sure enough, they fell into his yard.
But, what did the man mean by sending this back? Now that he has gone to Puzhou, there should be no chance to meet him again.
Huan Ci's eyes flashed with a hint of loss that she didn't even notice.
