Chapter 235 [Fuyao 20]
The next day, Zhangsun Wuji asked his confidant to announce in the court, "Your Majesty was assassinated in the palace yesterday and was injured, so he will not attend the court today."
The ministers had no choice but to leave the court one by one and go back, and then they discussed who had assassinated His Majesty yesterday.
Qi Zhen learned from his informant that Changsun Wuji was only slightly injured, and then replaced all the guards in the palace.
After returning home, Qi Zhen discussed this matter with Yun Hen and said, "The assassin who could sneak into the palace must be very skilled, but Your Majesty only suffered a minor injury. I think it must be a drama directed and acted by Your Majesty himself, just to replace my spy."
Yun Hen said, "Then what should we do?"
Qi Zhen said, "Our most urgent task right now is to plant a real spy around His Majesty, otherwise there will be endless troubles. I'll leave this to you."
Yun Hen said, "Yes, foster father."
On the other side, in the harem, Fuyao learned from the servants that Gao Puruo wanted to set up a water mirror that could reflect people's graceful figures at the palace's grand ceremony - the Cold Clothes Festival.
Fuyao remembered Yalanzhu's instructions and knew that she couldn't look at reflective things like mirrors.
Since Gao Puruo wanted to move out the Water Spirit Mirror, she could only secretly go to the haunted Cuiliang Palace and smash the Water Spirit Mirror to make Gao Puruo's plan fail.
In the Duke's Mansion, Qi Yun has reached the marriageable age, and many rich young men come to marry her, but Qi Zhen is dismissive and does not want to marry his own daughter to these playboys.
The housekeeper said, "Sir, Young Master Yun and the eldest lady have been childhood sweethearts since they were young. The relationship between the two of them is incomparable. Why don't you consider the marriage of Young Master Yun and the eldest lady? I think they are a good match."
But Qi Zhen said, "When Yun Hen first came, he was just a servant. A servant will always be a servant. He is not worthy of my daughter. Even if he is my adopted son now, he is not worthy of my daughter."
At the same time, Zong Yue and Changsun Wuji talked about the dragon scale armor. Zong Yue said, "I think the dragon scale armor is on Qi Yun. Back then, Qi Yun's mother gave birth to her after seven months of pregnancy, but Qi Yun was born with a blood reversal disease. The doctor determined that she would not live past the age of six, but now she is alive and well, and her body is normal."
Zhang Sun Wuji said, "What you said makes sense. Qi Yun has too much coldness in his body, and the dragon scale armor has the power of Yang Sheng. The two can suppress and offset each other."
……
In Cuiliang Palace, Fuyao sneaked in disguised as a eunuch.
I saw that the dead grass in Cuiliang Palace was growing very tall, and there were patches of dead branches and leaves on the ground. There was a gloomy feeling among the dilapidated walls.
Suddenly, a little white fox rushed out, bit Fuyao, and then fled into the desolate palace. Fuyao hurriedly followed the little white fox in.
The hall was full of cobwebs, obviously it had not been cleaned for a long time. Fuyao walked in and found the Shui Ling Mirror.
At this moment, a woman in white who looked like a female ghost suddenly attacked Fuyao from behind and knocked her unconscious.
After Fuyao woke up, she found herself imprisoned in an iron cage. Fuyao tried desperately to get out.
At this time, the woman in white slowly came over and warned, "Don't waste your energy, you can't get out."
The woman was none other than Xuanyuan Xiao, the former eldest princess of Taiyuan Kingdom and the Princess De of Tianquan Kingdom. She was a little mentally abnormal, and the little fox was Xuanming, one of the best white foxes in the world.
Cuiliang Palace is the cold palace of the royal palace. Over the years, anyone who has entered there will not be able to survive.
Xuanyuan Xiao tried her best to make everyone in the palace think that Cuiliang Palace was haunted and dared not come in, but Fuyao's appearance ruined her plan.
Xuanyuan Xiao said, "You shouldn't have come. You ruined my plan."
Fuyao didn't understand and said, "Who are you? Why are you doing this?"
Xuanyuan Xiao said madly, "I will imprison you here forever."
On the other side, Tang Zhirong waited for Qi Zhen at the palace gate and said, "I would like to ask Master Qi to help me become the master of the six palaces. I will be at your service then."
Qi Zhen didn't believe Tang Zhirong's words and said a few perfunctorily, "You just need to make good plans for the upcoming Cold Clothes Festival. The Cold Clothes Festival is not only a grand ceremony in the palace, but also the day of establishing the queen. The final decision depends on you."
Tang Zhirong said, "Thank you for your advice, sir."
……
In the bedroom, Jiang Feng came to tell Changsun Wuji the news that Fuyao had been missing for two days.
Changsun Wuji was shocked after hearing this, and quickly analyzed the reason for Fuyao's disappearance, saying, "Fuyao is quite skilled, but she has been missing for two days in a row. This can only mean that she is in danger."
So, Changsun Wuji summoned his pet mouse Yuanbao and ordered, "Yuanbao, go find the news about Fuyao for me."
Yuanbao obeyed the order and went there immediately.
Afterwards, Yuanbao successfully found Fuyao, but attracted the attention of the white fox.
The white fox was chasing Yuanbao, but Yuanbao jumped around and accidentally caused the white fox to split the iron cage.
Fuyao stood guard in front of Yuanbao and said, "Yuanbao, go back and find your master to save me."
After hearing this, Yuanbao knew that he could not defeat the opponent, so he immediately left through the secret passage.
Fuyao can only resist the white fox's attack alone.
Yuanbao returned to Changsun Wuji through the secret passage, but scared Tang Zhirong who came to serve Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji had no choice but to comfort Tang Zhirong with gentle words, knocked her unconscious when she was not prepared, and then hurried to rescue Fuyao with Yuanbao.
In Cuishu Palace, Fuyao fought with the white fox. Although the white fox was smart, Fuyao's skills were still pretty good.
Fu Yao was seen holding two sticks, striking forward and throwing the white fox away, and the white fox hit the wooden board heavily.
Xuanyuan Xiao, who was practicing martial arts, was suddenly seriously injured and flew out, fainting in front of Fuyao.
Fu Yao was very surprised why the white fox was knocked away by her and Xuanyuan Xiao just fainted in front of her.
At this time, Changsun Wuji arrived with Yuanbao. He stepped forward, recognized Xuanyuan Xiao, and told Fuyao her identity.
Changsun Wuji said, "If I'm not mistaken, Xuanyuan Xiao stayed here because of the confinement technique, so she can't leave Cuishu Palace."
Fuyao sighed, "I see, she is so pitiful."
Just as Changsun Wuji was about to say something, a noise was heard outside the palace.
Fuyao and Changsun Wuji hurriedly found a place to hide, because there was no way to leave now.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Puruo was seen coming with a group of palace maids. She successfully found the Shui Ling Mirror and ordered the palace maids to move the Shui Ling Mirrors away one by one.
After Gao Puruo left, Changsun Wuji brought Fuyao out. Fuyao fainted due to her serious injuries.
Changsun Wuji had no choice but to pick up Fuyao in his arms like a princess and take her back to Zuiyanju.
Changsun Wuji invited the imperial physician to give Fuyao a simple treatment, and then sat beside Fuyao's bed waiting for her to wake up.
After a long time, Fuyao finally woke up, and Changsun Wuji said, "I'm sorry, it was all because of my negligence that you got hurt."
Fuyao said, "It doesn't matter. Besides, this palace is very big and there are places beyond your jurisdiction. And it's not your fault."
Changsun Wuji continued, "Fuyao, I hope you will stay and be my princess."
Fuyao disagreed and said, "I don't want to lose my freedom. I hope you can remove the seal for me as soon as possible."
Changsun Wuji didn't want to lift the seal for Fuyao so early. Once the seal was lifted, the two of them would have no contact anymore, and he might never see Fuyao again. The two of them would probably become strangers from then on. Deep down, Changsun Wuji didn't want this to happen.
Changsun Wuji said, "The time has not come yet. If it does, I will naturally remove the seal for you. You just need to wait patiently."
……
The next day, Changsun Wuji was called up to handle official business, and Tang Zhirong also woke up in the bedroom. Changsun Wuji thanked Tang Zhirong for her hard work in serving him in bed, and gave her a lot of treasures.
In the imperial garden, Fuyao was absentmindedly feeding the fish by the pond. Jian Xue came to find Fuyao and said, "Madam Shu, please come back to the palace with me. I just happen to have something to ask you."
Fu Yao was just about to agree when she saw Changsun Wuji and Tang Zhirong slowly walking towards her. The two of them were behaving very intimately and looked like a loving couple.
Fuyao immediately felt bad, and her tone was mixed with bitterness as she said, "How come Your Majesty has time to visit the Imperial Garden with Madam De?"
Changsun Wuji stepped forward and rebuked Fuyao, saying, "I remember that I gave Zuiyanju to you, Madam Shu, and Madam Gui to live together. Now I think it is not necessary. Let Madam De move in, and you two can choose another place to live."
Fu Yao and Jian Xue had no choice but to obey the order and go back to pack up and prepare to move out of Zui Yan Ju.
This news reached Qi Zhen's ears. Qi Zhen was furious and said, "Everyone in Kunjing City knows that Yuwen Zi is his and my adopted daughter. Now that His Majesty is doing this, he is just trying to slap me in the face."
Tang Zhirong, the favorite of Changsun Wuji, is the daughter of Tang Boyan. Although Tang Boyan is loyal to Qi Zhen, he has no feelings for Qi Zhen when it comes to interests.
Qi Zhen realized that Tang Zhirong was an opponent that could not be underestimated. He had to get rid of her and not let her become the queen, otherwise all his plans over the years would be in vain.
On the other hand, Fuyao returned to Zuiyanju with a lot on her mind.
Seeing this, Jian Xue pretended to mention it casually, "I see that His Majesty likes Madam De very much. I guess Madam De will be crowned queen soon."
Fuyao's expression was a little stagnant, but she still said calmly, "So what? I don't like your majesty, so I don't care who becomes the queen."
Fuyao felt that Changsun Wuji had many secrets, which were hidden very deeply, so she didn't want to have anything to do with Changsun Wuji.
But as Changsun Wuji appeared in her life again and again, she gradually got used to his existence and would think of him involuntarily.
Jian Xue looked as if she had seen through him a long time ago, "I see that you don't dislike His Majesty, but you have fallen deeply in love with him."
"This is impossible." Fu Yao was a little shocked.
"If you don't believe me, think about it carefully. Just now, when you saw His Majesty and Tang Zhirong being so affectionate, did you feel a little uncomfortable and awkward in your heart?" Jian Xue said.
Fuyao then realized that she seemed to have really fallen in love with Zhangsun Wuji, and said shyly, "Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true." Jian Xue said.
At this time, Changsun Wuji was behind the two people and heard their conversation.
He walked out and motioned Jian Xue to leave first. Then only Changsun Wuji and Fuyao were left in the hall.
