Hearing the maid's words, Huan Ci narrowed his eyes.
Such a thing could happen.
"Take me to see it." She said calmly.
The fat maid was at a loss and looked at Zhao Yan as if asking for help.
Zhao Jin gave her a self-seeking look, stepped forward to hold Huan Ci firmly, and whispered softly: "Why go there in person? Just ask them to deliver the paper, and you won't be afraid of danger."
What she said made sense. Huan Ci nodded: "Then send someone to deliver the paper to my room."
"Let's go back first and wait for them to deliver it." Zhao Jin smiled at her, and then looked at the two maids and made a three-hand gesture when Huan Ci wasn't paying attention.
The two of them immediately understood what she meant, and Zhao Jin asked them to go find the third master first.
Huan Ci didn't know anything about their little moves and returned to the main courtyard worriedly.
Although she hadn't seen the piece of paper yet, she had an intuition that those people must be coming for Fu Shen. But she didn't know who was so despicable as to do such a thing behind her back.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the tea pot was empty, but still no one came.
Huan Ci stood up awkwardly, her body swaying uncontrollably. Lan Fu hurriedly came over to help her: "Be careful."
Zhao Jin also looked at her with a worried look on his face. He opened his mouth but didn't say a word. She didn't know if the two maids went ahead to look for the third master, which made her feel very uneasy.
"Why are you all standing?"
Fu Shen suddenly opened the door and came in. Zhao Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and silently picked up the teapot to add tea.
"When did you come back?" Huan Ci walked up to him.
Fu Shen waved to Lan Fu and motioned for her to go down. He held Huan Ci's belt and led her towards Dongci Room: "I just came back. Have you had your meal?"
"Not yet, I'm waiting for you." Huan Ci hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Did you hear anything after you entered the house?"
"What?" Fu Shen asked, raising his eyebrows.
Huan Ci held his cold hand: "I heard people said that someone shot an arrow at the back door, do you know?"
"So that's what happened." The man took off his outer robe and leaned on the couch very comfortably. "It was just a joke from a naughty boy. I don't know where he heard it. I have already sent someone to send the things back to him."
"Really?" Huan Ci glanced at him suspiciously, "What is written on the paper?"
"He said he wanted to marry a very beautiful wife like me, and he also wanted to be successful and become a high official in the future." Fu Shen sneered.
Huan Ci blushed, glanced at him and said, "Just coax me, you always hide everything from me."
"How can I hide it from you?" Fu Shen gently scratched her palm, "I have something to tell you. Your Majesty wants me to go south to personally supervise the implementation of the new law. I will probably set off after a while, maybe
I'm going to live there for a while. I think it's inconvenient for you to travel around, so why not stay in the capital first?"
"Are you leaving again?" Tears suddenly appeared in Huan Ci's eyes. She remembered what happened during her last pregnancy again, and now she felt scared when she thought about it.
The man looked at her steadily, and after being silent for a long time, he whispered: "It's my fault."
"I want to go with you." Huan Ci said firmly after staring at his face for a long time.
"How is this possible?"
"Why can't you do it? You will definitely not be able to come back for two months. I must follow you."
Fu Shen looked at her quietly without speaking, as if he was thinking. After a long time, he came to Huan Ci and hugged her, gently stroked her black hair, and murmured: "Okay, I'll take you with me."
Two days later——
The warm morning sun shone slantingly on the window screen. Huan Ci woke up for the first time and stretched out on the bed. However, she suddenly froze for a moment after she stretched her hand to her side.
The man who was still lying here last night has disappeared again. She has long been used to this and can do nothing about it.
Zhao Jin, who was outside the bed tent, had already heard the sound of her waking up and quickly opened the curtain.
"Where did Fu Shen go?" Huan Ci asked casually.
"She must have entered the palace."
Huan Ci curled his lips and got out of bed under Zhao Jin's service: "Where is my new azure coat? I want to wear that dress today."
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment. Normally Huan Ci was very casual about dressing up. Why did he suddenly become interested today? She helped Huan Ci walk to the dressing table and said with a smile: "I'll go find it right now."
"No need, let's go together." Huan Ci started to leave.
Zhao Yan's heart shrank, and he quickly took two steps forward to stop her: "You have to do it yourself for such a trivial matter, which makes me look useless."
Huan Ci looked at her in surprise: "I'm just looking for some clothes. I'll look through them to see if I can find some clothes I wore before."
Seeing that she insisted on doing this, Zhao Jin could no longer persuade her. Although Fu Shen took the clothes from the cabinet, he only brought a few pieces with him, so Huan Ci could not find them so easily.
She slowly opened the cabinet, making only a small space for Huan Ci.
Huan Ci did not doubt that he was there, and rummaged through the cabinet. However, before rummaging twice, she suddenly frowned: "Where's the nightgown I made for Fu Shen?"
"I asked my servant to wash it." Zhao Jin said hurriedly.
Huan Ci looked at her and said, "He hasn't worn that piece of clothing these past few days, so why did he ask someone to wash it?"
"It's getting damp in the cupboard. Let me clean it." Zhao Jian blurted out. But she soon realized that the reason she was looking for was too bad.
Sure enough, Huan Ci frowned and looked at her: "It's only been a few days since it became damp. You guys are too diligent."
After hearing this, Zhao Jian silently breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment her heart was in her throat again, because Huan Ci reached out and rummaged through Fu Shen's clothes for a long time, and the more he rummaged, the worse his face became: "Why does it feel like there is so much less?
"
"I've taken them all to be washed. It's time to wear them. It's been washed for a few days before they can be worn." Zhao Jin hurriedly stepped forward to block the way, "Would you like to wash your clothes too? It's just that you wear a lot of them now.
No, I’m afraid I’ll have to wait for more than a month to wear it.”
"No need." Huan Ci looked at her calmly, but he had some premonitions in his heart.
As usual, she washed up first, had breakfast, and then asked to go out for a walk.
These days, she goes out for a walk every morning. Zhao Jin and Lan Fu have long been used to it, so they don't doubt his presence. However, Huan Ci did not go to the garden today, but walked towards the second gate.
Lan Fu and Zhao Yan exchanged glances, feeling a little uneasy.
When they walked with her to the entrance of Chuihua, they both stopped and advised: "We have gone far enough, let's go back."
"I'm going to the study to find a book. Which of you will go with me?"
"Just tell me what book you are looking for and I will find it for you." Lan Fu said slowly.
Huan Ci's face darkened.
I almost thought Lan Fu was literate.
She chuckled lightly and said, "It's something left by my father. It didn't have a name on it. You can't find it if you go there."
"What's the problem? Just tell me where you put it and I'll help you find it."
Zhao Jin echoed from the side and nodded heavily.
Really not wanting to delay any more time, Huan Ci stared at the two of them with a straight face, his eyes a little sharper: "Are you hiding something from me?"
The two looked at each other and then both lowered their heads.
Huan Ci raised her feet and walked out. The two people hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
"Don't hide it from me. Has Fu Shen left?" she asked coldly.
The two women in front of him didn't speak. Huan Ci's breathing became heavier, his chest heaved violently, and he said coldly: "If you don't tell the truth today, you won't have to stay here from now on."
After saying that, she glanced at Lan Fu: "I know you are Fu Shen's, so naturally I can't control you. If that's the case, you can just go to the outer courtyard to serve me. And Ah Jin, who originally had nowhere to go, was why he stayed here.
Yes, since you are tired of it, why not leave here so that we can get together and relax."
Zhao Jin originally had some feelings for her, but after hearing these words, he burst into tears.
Seeing this, Huan Ci inevitably started to feel soft again. He stepped forward and held their hands and said, "I didn't mean to embarrass you, but Fu Shen himself promised to take me there. Please tell me, otherwise how can I feel at ease."
Zhao Jin wiped away his tears and nodded: "Madam, you guessed it right. Your Excellency left early today, before dawn. He only said that we should hide it today. I can chase him now before it's too late."
Huan Ci bit his lip dissatisfied. She knew that Fu Shen was trying to coax her. He also said that he wanted to take her with him, but it was just a temporary measure to appease her.
After scolding him secretly, she turned around and walked back, saying: "Quickly find someone to pack things, then call Zhao Yang and ask him to pack things and follow him. Bring a few more people, we
Catch them before tonight."
"Okay!" Zhao Jin nodded vigorously, glanced at Lan Fu who hesitated, picked up his skirt and ran back.
Lan Fu looked at her deeply, then sighed after a long time and said, "I won't stop you, but I must stay here."
"I understand." Huan Ci stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently.
Fu Shen must have told her to do something. She has always been the man's confidant and a sharp knife that he cultivated. But for the past six months, the woman has been staying by her side, which is overkill.
Within half an hour, Zhao Jin had already sent people to prepare carriages and horses. Huan Ci took about twenty people with him. The group of people either drove carriages or rode horses and soon left the capital.
It turned out that Zhao Yang knew exactly where Fu Shen was going. He was the person serving Fu Shen, except for Sao Ye's surprise.
It was Fu Shen's intention to keep him in the capital. Fu Shen asked her to take good care of the Prime Minister's Mansion and to take good care of Huan Ci. But when he thought that Fu Shen's trip must be difficult, he couldn't wait to follow him immediately. It happened that Huan Ci
Ci sent someone to ask him to pack up and leave immediately, but he did not hesitate.
It's just that Huan Ci is pregnant after all, so they don't dare to go too fast. However, Fu Shen leads more people. Zhao Yang has calculated their footsteps. If they keep on traveling tonight, they will definitely catch up before noon tomorrow.
In addition, he ordered people to go to each inn to inquire about the news, in case he missed Fu Shen and the others.
It was night in a blink of an eye, and everyone was debating whether to continue their journey or go to a nearby small village to rest for the night. Suddenly, several people in the distance slowly approached holding torches.
"Madam, someone is coming." Zhao Yang clenched the knife in his hand and looked at the dazzling fire not far away.
Huan Ci raised the car curtain and looked out, but the light was too dazzling for her to see the person coming.
She held her belly up and helped Zhao Jin carefully get out of the carriage.
