"The Queen Mother was taken away? How did you know?" Huan Ci looked at her with an eyebrow.
They have been staying here these past few days. How did Lianru know these things?
Lian Ru blinked: "Didn't these things spread before the girl came here? Don't you know?"
It's actually been so long.
Huan Ci frowned. She had been on the road a few days ago and would quickly avoid people she met, so she didn't know these things.
"Isn't the Queen Mother living in the palace? How could she still be kidnapped?"
"How can we know this? I only heard that it was an eunuch who did it, and I don't know the rest." Lian Ru muttered.
She suddenly looked around, lowered her voice and said to Huan Ci: "I also heard that the eunuch is related to our Crown Princess? The Crown Princess appeared in Zhiquan County a few days ago, and later she ran away with a wild man.
Well, the magistrate of Zhiquan County even lost his official position because of this."
Huan Ci was stunned for a while, and finally realized that the princess Lian Ru mentioned was her.
"The princess ran away? What is a wild man?" She couldn't help laughing.
Could it be that he is talking about Ah Lian? Then wouldn’t it be true that Ah Lian was not caught?
Lian Ru looked at the woman who smiled like a flower in front of her as if she was a fool, and asked: "The girl has been locked up in the past, so she doesn't know what's going on outside? This matter has made a big fuss. It is said that she stole important things.
The thing ran away with a wild man. It’s just that King Dingyuan was so pitiful that he didn’t even have anyone to collect the body.”
Huan Ci's smile froze on his face, and his expression instantly became much more lonely.
Now she can't even collect her father's body, let alone anything else.
"What's going on?" Lian Ru saw her expression change and thought she had said the wrong thing.
"I just suddenly felt that I had been locked up for too long, and I didn't know anything about the outside world. I felt a little sad." Huan Ci sighed.
Lian Ru glanced at her and said: "Young lady, since you were sold here, just concentrate on serving the Third Master. I see your legs were still bad when you first came here. Did you get beaten by the master? Let's see.
Third Master is a good man and would definitely not do such a thing. Now that he is here, you should think of a way to keep him."
Lan Fu, who had been listening for a long time, rolled his eyes and walked away before he could bear it. The two of them didn't tell the truth, they were all trying to fool each other. This woman tried her best to use Huan Ci for her own future, but it's a pity that
The effort was in the wrong place.
But she didn't know that Huan Ci actually listened to what the cook said.
Fu Shen brought her here and hid her here, what else could be his purpose?
Huan Ci lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said nonsense: "I am afraid of being beaten. Although I want to run away, where can I escape to?"
As she said this, she actually shed a few tears, which shocked Lianru.
Lian Ru panicked and hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and murmured: "If you really want to leave here, you might as well follow the Third Master first. Men like things that they can't eat, so maybe you can give in."
, Third Master will let you go."
She said this with a guilty conscience, but there was some truth in it. The third master's temperament seemed to be one of those who would take the easy way rather than take the hard way, so if you wanted to beg him, it would be easier to pretend to be pitiful.
Huan Ci looked at her determined expression and believed her words more and more. Fu Shen treated her like this just because of what happened a few years ago. If he let out the anger in his heart, maybe he would let her go.
Moreover, the old nanny also told her four years ago that men had better talk at that time. Anyway, things are already like this, how can it get worse?
Seeing her bowing her head in deep thought, Lian Ru hurriedly leaned over and said a few words in her ear. Sensing the blush on Huan Ci's face, she frowned and said in a deep voice: "You are already a grown-up, could it be that you don't understand this?"
thing?"
Huan Ci shook his head and said no. She just remembered that night four years ago, she used the same trick against Fu Shen, but it was unsuccessful in the end.
"I'm sleepy." She stood up and wanted to go back.
Lian Ru thought she had gone back on her word and hurriedly grabbed her: "Why do you have to leave in the middle of the conversation?"
"If the third master doesn't come, could it be that you asked me to find him?" Huan Ci muttered.
If she could escape while no one was paying attention, she didn't want to try to please Fu Shen.
Unfortunately, Lian Ruhui misunderstood what she said. She watched Huan Ci return to the house, with her own plans in mind.
The night in May was not very hot yet. Huan Ci took a comfortable bath and read under the candlelight.
She was already tired of reading books about gods and monsters, but there was nothing else to do, and she didn't want to go to bed so early.
After watching for a while, Huan Ci began to feel sleepy and dozed off with his arms propped up.
"Aren't you sick? Why are you still wearing such thin clothes?"
The sudden sound made her shiver, and she opened her eyes blankly to look at the person.
"Why is it you?" she exclaimed.
Fu Shen's face suddenly darkened a bit. She clearly sent someone to invite him, so why did he become an uninvited guest?
"I heard that you are sick." He came to Huan Ci and touched her forehead with his hand.
He looks lively and energetic, and doesn't look like he's sick.
Huan Ci was about to refute when he suddenly remembered what he had said to Lianru that afternoon. It seemed that it was her who was causing the trouble.
This Lianru is really impatient.
It's not like Huan Ci couldn't guess what she was thinking. As people go to higher places, it's not surprising that she wants to climb up with someone useful. But now it seems that she is completely taking advantage of Huan Ci as a fool.
"I'm not sick. You can go to whoever said it." She tilted her head to avoid the man's hand covering her forehead.
Fu Shen's face turned completely dark and he looked at her expressionlessly.
In order to save her, he went through a lot of trouble, but this woman didn't care if she wasn't grateful. Instead, she shamed him again and again.
He has been so busy these days that he came over as soon as he heard the news today. Unexpectedly, he actually had a warm face but a cold butt.
"You feel at ease. Do you know that your good husband is controlling the government in the palace and discussing with the ministers what to do with your father's body?" he mocked.
Huan Ci cast a sharp look at him: "Where is Zong Zhengyuan? Is he dead?"
"Your Majesty is ill." Fu Shen said in a deep voice.
Huan Ci sneered: "You should be the one who should be anxious. Without this backer, do you think Zong Zhengche will let you go?"
"He can try." Fu Shen lowered his voice.
Huan Ci opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything to refute him.
At this time, someone knocked on the door lightly, and the sound of sweeping leaves came from outside: "Third Master, everything is packed and we will set off in a moment."
"Where are you going?" Huan Ci asked hurriedly.
Fu Shen glanced at her, turned around and left.
Seeing the situation, Huan Ci rushed forward and grabbed his belt from behind: "Where are you going?"
"Bingzhou." The man said concisely and concisely.
These words immediately made Huan Ci overjoyed. She held the man's arm tightly and begged: "Take me with you."
"No." Fu Shen pulled out his sleeve with a cold face.
Huan Ci suddenly felt angry. Just when she was about to have an attack, she suddenly remembered Lian Ru's words.
Seeing that the man was about to leave the bedroom, she jumped to the ground very quickly and hugged him from behind.
"I want to go with you."
The sudden change caused Fu Shen to freeze on the spot, and his ears quickly turned red.
"No." He quickly came to his senses and stretched out his hand to open Huan Ci's hand.
Huan Ci gritted his teeth and looked at him for a moment. She was actually inspired by him to fight, and she still had to capture him today.
The tricks her old grandma taught her flashed through her mind very quickly. That method worked four years ago, and she didn't believe it wouldn't work today.
"Please." She looked like she was about to cry, and slowly raised her hands and put them on the man's shoulders.
The distance between the two was too close. Fu Shen hurriedly took a step back and stared at her with a slight frown.
"Don't make trouble." He said softly.
This voice was too low and hoarse, very different from the way he usually spoke.
Huan Ci was happy, it seemed that her method worked.
"Please." She said again.
Only this time, she deliberately changed her voice, which sounded too soft and waxy.
Seeing that it was effective, she raised her wrist softly and messed around according to the hairstyle she remembered.
Fu Shen was forced back by her and sat on the bed with a look of helplessness.
"What do you want to do again?" He reached out and patted away the woman's unruly hands.
Huan Ci, who suddenly had no support, screamed in surprise and quickly wrapped his arms around his neck.
"I want you to take me with you."
"Step aside."
"I beg you."
"Get out of the way." There was obvious anger on Fu Shen's face.
Huan Ci looked at his opening and closing lips aggrievedly, and the scene one night suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She swallowed nervously and slowly moved closer.
The swaying candle seemed to have realized something, and danced more cheerfully than before.
Under its reflection, the eyes of everyone in the room were as black as lacquer.
After groping for a long time, Huan Ci was already a little tired and sat up panting.
Fu Shen's legs were still suppressed by her, and he lay on his back on the bed. The man's eyes were like a torch, and he carefully looked at the charming woman in front of him by the candlelight.
The blatant change in the person in front of her suddenly made Huan Ci retreat. Although she had been lucky enough to see him four years ago, Fu Shen covered her eyes later, and all she remembered was his heavy breathing.
Her face had already turned red, and now that the man was looking at her thoughtfully, her blood rushed straight to her head.
"You go."
She lowered her eyes and was about to leave, but the man suddenly sat up.
Huan Ci was held up by him from behind, and he struggled several times but was unable to push him away.
"It's too late." The man whispered in her ear.
Huan Ci exclaimed, looking down at the man's head, which was close at hand, and tightly grasped his hair.
Fu Shen was pulled so hard that he exerted more force on the woman's thin waist, pinching Huan Ci until he screamed repeatedly.
After the people outside reported back, Suye stayed at the door waiting for Fu Shen. But the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong with the noise in the room. At first, it seemed like the two of them were having a fight, but gradually there was no movement again.
Curiously, Sao Ye leaned towards the door, raised his ears and listened carefully, trying to find the right time to knock on the door. However, there was another sound in the room soon, and it became more and more obvious, making his old face turn red.
The woman's coquettish cry suddenly made him tremble. He hunched his neck and ran along the steps in a panic, dragging away Lan Fu who wanted to deliver the candle.
