Chapter 88: Assassin's Identity

The imperial doctor hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't dare! The root causes of my wife's illnesses were all caused when she was pregnant for the first time. Now that she has been recuperating for the past few days, her body has recovered, so there is no need to worry too much."

"Thank you, sir." Huan Ci finally felt relieved.

Since there was nothing wrong, she just wanted to lie down and rest. Fu Shen personally sent the imperial doctor to the door, and he didn't know what he asked secretly. He came back after a while.

"I'll go take a look in the garden first, and send the guests away first." He leaned on the edge of the bed with his hands and whispered.

Huan Ci chuckled at him: "Go quickly, we didn't entertain you well today."

In fact, she was still a little worried and didn't know how the assassin got in. Now that she thought about it, it was lucky that she pushed the woman away, otherwise she and Fu Shen would most likely be implicated.

Fu Shen looked at the woman in front of him with a serious look, and suddenly lowered his head and kissed her gently on the lips.

Huan Ci instantly blushed with embarrassment, glanced at the two maids next to him, and said softly: "I hate it, why don't you go quickly."

"I'll be back soon." The man stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for her.

Huan Ci looked at his figure, and the appearance of the female assassin just now flashed in his mind. Although she was wearing heavy makeup, she always felt familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere.

About an hour later, it was getting late, lights were lit everywhere in the house, and after the kitchen asked twice if they wanted to prepare food, Fu Shen appeared outside the door.

But he didn't look very well, so Huan Ci walked over worriedly and held his hand.

"Why did you get off the ground?" The man pulled her into the house.

"It's not that serious." Huan Ci shook his head, "You look very bad. What's wrong?"

Fu Shen walked to the table and sat down. He ordered his servants to serve the food, and then whispered to her: "The female assassin is Su Wanling."

Huan Ci frowned slightly, and it took him a while to remember who this person was.

"Wasn't she exiled to the south? Why is she here?"

"This is exactly what we are worried about. Maybe there are forces planted by Zong Zhengche in the south. He had such a deep foundation in the court before and defeated him so easily before. We all felt uneasy. His Majesty personally sent Su Wanling to the south.

Yes, if she can come back so quickly, there must be someone helping her behind the scenes, and I'm afraid some of these people are dormant in the capital." Fu Shen's voice was full of worry.

Seeing that he was so worried, Huan Ci also became depressed. Fu Shen had ambitions, which she had known for a long time. He was very busy these days, but she still doubted him like that. She really shouldn't.

She suddenly remembered what happened last night, so she moved closer to the man: "Then why did you go out yesterday? I saw them all, you and Sao Ye, and you lied to me that you were in the study."

Thinking of this, she felt a little depressed again and pouted involuntarily.

Fu Shen glanced at everyone in the room and said in a very low voice in her ear: "I'll tell you at night."

Huan Ci snorted lightly and turned his head away from him.

But for some unknown reason, Fu Shen looked even happier. Not long after finishing the meal, he sent someone to fetch water.

Huan Ci sat under the lamp, holding a book and reading. When he saw this, he glanced at him faintly: "What time is this?"

"Go to rest early today." Fu Shen took off his shirt and threw it aside.

"You want to sleep here?"

"Naturally." Fu Shen smiled.

Huan Ci frowned and looked at him, vaguely having a bad premonition: "I have to get up three or four times a night, so don't bother you anymore."

Fu Shen smiled and said nothing, turned around and went outside.

In this case, Huan Ci could not help but brush his teeth and wash his face under Zhao Jin's service.

Fu Shen came back after a while, bringing with him a scent. Huan Ci wrinkled his nose and sniffed: "Did you put on the ointment?"

The man walked slowly with a smile in his eyes and waved his hand to let the others out.

Huan Ci's bad premonition worsened, and he watched helplessly as the man walked to the bed and blew out the lamp.

After all, it was the festival, and lights were lit everywhere. Even if the lights in the house were turned off, they were not completely invisible.

The man's dark eyes were particularly clear in the dim light. Huan Ci swallowed, his breathing became faster, and he stepped in, whispering: "Come up and have a rest."

Fu Shen slowly sat on the edge of the bed, put an arm around her waist, and his deep eyes were getting closer and closer to Huan Ci.

Huan Ci was stunned for a moment, then hugged his neck and let him plunder his lips.

Suddenly, she noticed something strange, her face felt hot, and she pinched the man's waist hard: "No, not now."

"I asked the doctor today, and he said it's okay." Fu Shen whispered softly in her ear, sounding as if he had been greatly wronged, "Aci, I will be very careful."

Huan Ci didn't expect that he would be so good at acting coquettishly, so he whispered, "You're so shameless."

The man stopped talking and gently hugged her from behind, his hands extremely irregular.

Huan Ci couldn't help but let out a cry and gradually surrendered under his attack.

After a long time, the two finally calmed down and hugged each other sweatingly.

He felt much more relaxed, but sleepiness also set in. Huan Ci leaned on Fu Shen's shoulder and breathed out slowly, a pair of beautiful eyes lingering on his face.

"What's wrong?" Fu Shen asked doubtfully.

Huan Ci said slowly: "I'm just asking Zong Zhengtang."

Fu Shen frowned, his expression hard to explain: "What do you want her to do at this time?"

"She told me today that you want to open a new-style school, right?"

"How could she know?" Fu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You ask me how I know." Huan Ci was a little depressed because his answer was not what he asked. "Isn't it you who said it?"

"Perhaps the late prince overheard me when I was talking to her." Fu Shen said quickly, "I am already planning this matter, but I still need the support of the court."

"I can also support you." Huan Ci held his hand, "Do you want to set up a government school?"

Fu Shen took a deep breath and said, "Official studies are naturally better, but private studies are not impossible."

"Then you say, how about we open a school in Bingzhou? The school you went to before has not been running for the past two years and is now abandoned. My uncle was originally in charge of that school, and now the whole family has gone there

To the south, wouldn’t it be a waste to put it there?”

Fu Shen reached out and pinched her face: "Okay! But now is not the time. After the child is born, how about we go to Bingzhou to handle this matter together?"

"Yeah." Huan Ci nodded and put his hands on his lower abdomen, "I hope he comes out soon, a mother like me is going to be exhausted."

"Are you tired?" Fu Shen's hand came up again, and his voice was particularly evil.

Huan Ci shouted in a low voice: "Fu Xuanmo, you are a scumbag."

Unfortunately, these words are of no use to men.

After half a day of ups and downs, Huan Ci couldn't stop fighting, and fell asleep soon after. In the darkness, Fu Shen's breathing was still heavy. The man stared at the woman beside him silently, his eyes could not be erased.

Sorrow and boredom.

On the Lantern Festival, the imperial court was on vacation, and it was rare that Fu Shen was not called to the palace by Zong Zhenglu, so Huan Ci planned to go out for a walk with him tonight.

It was clearly the end of the year these days, but he was busy because of Zong Zhenglu's assassination, and there was always a touch of melancholy on his eyebrows. Huan Ci knew that he was unwilling to express his feelings easily, so he had to think of a way to let him

happy.

As for Yu Wenjie's marriage, I haven't heard anything about it recently. Maybe Zong Zhenglu has no time to take care of it now. According to Sao Ye, Su Wanling kept silent about the assassination of the emperor, and even torture could not make her speak. Now

She was also put on death row.

These words made Huan Ci worry about Zong Zhengtang again. After all, she was Zong Zhengche's biological aunt. If Zong Zhengche had not died, Zong Zhenglu's throne might never be secure. She was afraid that Tang'er would be implicated in this.

"What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought." Fu Shen suddenly appeared from behind.

Huan Ci shook his head: "Nothing, let's go."

Fu Shen smiled and intertwined his fingers with hers: "Follow me, don't let me go."

"Can I still throw it away?" Huan Ci curled his lips, but still hugged his arm tightly.

Sao Ye and Zhao Jin followed them step by step, and Huan Ci couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why don't you see Lan Fu?" She looked around. It seemed like she hadn't seen her since she got up this morning.

Sao Ye and Zhao Jian looked at each other and shook their heads.

Huan Ci looked at Sao Ye up and down, and suddenly felt very puzzled: "Sao Ye, how old are you now?"

"Twenty-four." Saoye said softly with his eyes flashing.

Huan Ci nodded, as if he suddenly understood.

Fu Shen turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay," Huan Ci shook his head and said, "I'm just wondering why he hasn't married yet, but considering that I got married much later than ordinary women, it's not surprising."

Sao Ye's expression froze and he glanced at Fu Shen with a resentful look. There was a reason why he hadn't been able to get married until now.

Fu Shen happened to look back at him, and Sao Ye looked away quickly, pretending that nothing happened.

Huan Ci knew nothing about this and got into the carriage with Fu Shen's help.

The Lantern Festival is a time when there are many people. Now that she is pregnant, she does not dare to go to too busy places. She only plans to go to the observation deck with Fu Shen to enjoy the distance.

Huan Ci had not been out for a long time, and it was the first time for Zhao Jin to celebrate the New Year in the capital. The two of them raised the curtain to look outside.

Suddenly, Zhao Jin pointed to a stall selling lanterns: "Isn't that Lan Fu?"

Huan Ci looked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough he found a woman in red among the crowd, it was Lan Fu who had disappeared for the whole day.

The woman is very different from usual today. She is dressed very seriously, which is refreshing.

"Why does the man next to her look so familiar?" Huan Ci stared at the man's back and exclaimed after seeing his profile clearly.

It turned out to be Ah Lian. Ah Lian actually came to the capital without telling her.

"There are two of them, Ah Lianta and Lan Fu." Huan Ci said incoherently.

Fu Shen chuckled and asked, "Don't you know about this?"

Huan Ci shook his head and nodded: "I seem to know a little bit, but I don't know completely."

She suddenly remembered something and slapped Fu Shen hard on the leg: "Is this why you reprimanded Lan Fu that night when we were in Jinyun City?"
