Chapter 79(1/3)
Baochai was stunned when she heard this, then ran to Guiren Li and cried, "Impossible, impossible! Wasn't you doing well just now, little master!"
Emperor Yong paused when he heard Fu Yan's words, looked at the Concubine Li over there, his eyes darkened, and he said, "Let's be buried with the rituals of noble people." After that, he turned around and walked out.
The meaning of this is that the punishment for Li Guiren was not counted yesterday, and it was better to be buried according to the etiquette of the nobleman, and to maintain her honor after death. This is probably not a compensation for finding out the truth for her.
Chu Yanzi followed Emperor Yong and walked outside, but when he passed by Fu Yan, he paused slightly, moved his fingers, and then moved his lotus steps lightly and walked out.
Fu Yan took his breath and looked at Chu Yanzi's gestures. There seemed to be a light in his eyes and darker again.
When he got outside, it was already light, Emperor Yong walked towards Bao Zhaoyi's tent, but Chu Yanzi paused outside the tent of Concubine Li, looked at Emperor Yong's back, turned around and walked towards his tent, running against Emperor Yong.
Back in the tent, Bai Hua gave her a loose dress. After Chu Yanzi went to bed, Bai Hua frowned and asked, "My master, is it...Du Man Du?"
Chu Yanzi was wearing naked clothes, with delicate collarbones falling out, Lingsan's hair hanging slightly on it, and a hint of seductive color appeared. She closed her eyes and opened her red lips lightly, "Since the emperor said that it was the two slaves who did it, it doesn't matter what the truth is."
Seeing that she looked tired, Bai Hua nodded, said nothing more, sat aside her, stretched out her hand to rub her temples, hoping to relieve her fatigue.
At this time, I heard a sound that Bai Lu could lower her from outside, "What are you doing?"
Chu Yanzi opened his eyes, a trace of strangeness appeared in his eyes, and he spoke softly, "Let him come in."
At this time, the sky was just slightly bright outside, and there was still some darkness in the night, which covered Fu Yan's tent entering Chu Yanzi, and no one could see it.
Bai Hua in the tent heard Chu Yanzi's words and his body stiffened. Then he saw Fu Yan walking in, and his face changed even more. He looked at the little master's clothes and could see some spring scenery vaguely, but he didn't talk much because he was put in by the little master.
Not only Bai Hua froze, but even Fu Yan didn't expect that after coming in, he would see such a scene. His expression darkened, he lowered his head, knelt down and greeted him, "I'm here to see the Empress."
Chu Yanzi raised his body slightly, looked at him with his eyes down, and said to Bai Hua, "Bai Hua, you go down first."
"Little Master!" Bai Hua couldn't believe it, and looked at Fu Yan who was kneeling below and couldn't help but scream.
Chu Yanzi looked at her sideways, revealing a hint of charm, "Be good."
Bai Hua paused, and finally listened to Chu Yanzi's words, "I obey the order." He glared at Fu Yan, tears in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and retreated.
Only Chu Yanzi and Fu Yan were left in the tent. Fu Yan lowered his head, his eyes flashed, and thin sweat was overflowing from his forehead.
Seeing him kneeling on the ground and not speaking, Chu Yanzi got off the bed barefoot, walked to Fu Yan in front of him, bent down, stretched out his slender hand, and hooked his chin to let him look at him.
Chu Yanzi's eyes were filled with a seductive charm and said in a low voice, "Do you like me?"
Fu Yan looked up slightly, looked at the beauty in front of him, swallowed his saliva nervously, his eyes darkened, "Wei, Weichen..."
"Um?"
Seeing him pause, Chu Yanzi asked again in confusion.
Looking at the seductive but ignorant beauty in front of her, Fu Yan closed her eyes and said, "Yes! I have an inappropriate thought about the Empress!"
"Is it a big idea?" Chu Yanzi let go of his chin, stood up straight, and read these four words word by word. His voice was lengthened, and his eyes seemed to be confused and a hint of cruelty. "I agree!"
After hearing Chu Yanzi's words, Fu Yan's heart tightened, and for a moment his heart seemed to stop beating. It took a long time to realize what she meant. His eyes suddenly became bright, he held his hands tightly, and said in a trembling voice, "What the Empress mean is, is it what Weichen thought?"
Chu Yanzi ignored his words, turned around and sat back on the bed, with black hair scattered, leaning lazily on the bed, keeping his mouth shut.
Fu Yan watched Chu Yanzi walk back, paused, slowly stood up, and walked towards Chu Yanzi tense. Looking at her for a long time, Fu Yan finally let out a breath, slowly bent down, and stared at the face in front of him. He clearly wanted to be close to him, but...
He slowly knelt down again, with a hint of seriousness and piety approaching Chu Yanzi, "As long as you can get close to you, it's enough."
,
Chu Yanzi opened his eyes and looked at Fu Yan. Seeing his serious expression, he paused in his heart. He stretched out his hand and slid down the corner of his eyes, and spoke lazily, "I heard that Doctor Fu is the descendant of a famous family?"
Fu Yan let her move until she stopped, and then took her hand down, put it in her hand, looked up at her, "My father is the Marquis of Qi Jing. If this is a famous family, the empress would be right."
"Qi Jinghou?" Chu Yanzi sat upright. The fief of Qi Jinghou was far away in Shuzhou. He was the only king who held military power. If Fu Yan was his son, how could he be a small imperial physician in the palace?
Confused in his heart, Chu Yanzi naturally asked, "Since your father is the Marquis of Qi Jing, why did you become an imperial physician in the palace?"
Fu Yan's expression did not change, and even a smile appeared on the corner of his eyes, "I am a concubine's son. My father has a very good relationship with his stepmother. He gave birth to three children for his father. Naturally, he did not value me. The old emperor was afraid of the military power in my father's hands, so his father sent me to the capital to act as a proton."
Chu Yanzi frowned and said nothing, and listened to him continue.
"After I arrived in the capital, I have been living in my grandfather's house. My grandfather is also an imperial physician. I learned medicine with my grandfather, but I got some of his skills. Later, when the emperor passed away, I entered the palace and became an imperial physician." Fu Yanfeng told his life experience lightly.
Chu Yanzi pulled out his hand and held his chin, "What about your mother?"
Fu Yan was only feeling a little chill at this time, "My mother is still in the Qi Jinghou Mansion in Shuzhou."
"You haven't gone back to see her?"
After hearing Chu Yanzi's words, Fu Yan chuckled, "Although I didn't say I was a proton, I couldn't go back to Shuzhou at will."
Chu Yanzi knew it and leaned back, but still couldn't understand the chill, "Do you know your mother's current situation?"
Fu Yan's eyes softened. He had heard that Zhen Xiuyi liked to watch the fun before. Seeing her like this, he felt a little cute. He didn't think this was **, so he was naturally willing to tell her the story.
"Since I was sent to the capital, my mother seemed to have awakened and stopped accepting it. Instead, she fought for her father's favor. My mother was also a well-known beauty back then. In addition, she knew some medical skills and didn't know what method she used. Since I entered the capital, I have never heard of my father having children. Moreover, my two brothers seemed to have made a little ugly because of the Marquis' inheritance. My father was not happy, so he had fewer rooms at his mother's house. Instead, it was my mother who had received some favor in recent years."
After hearing Fu Yan's words, Chu Yanzi's eyes lit up. Fu Yan's mother was very good at making him unable to leave any descendants after the King of Jinghou of Qi and was favored step by step. Chu Yanzi thought of something and turned to Fu Yan, "Since that's the case, you shouldn't have been in the capital for a long time."
Fu Yan was next to Chu Yanzi and shook his head slowly, "It's not that easy. The fewer the father's children, the less hope I can return to Shuzhou. Unless my father handed over the military power, it's impossible. What's more,"
Fu Yan looked up at Chu Yanzi, paused with both hands, and held Chu Yanzi's jade hand, "I don't want to go back."
Chu Yanzi paused, looked at Fu Yan's serious expression, then chuckled, and did not continue the topic. He frowned and said inexplicably, "Did you get Bao Zhaoyi's injury?"
Fu Yan's hand froze, and then he said, "Yes."
"Are you crazy?" Although there were speculations, when he admitted it, Chu Yanzi's heart still had ripples, shook his hand away, and scolded him angrily.
Seeing this, Fu Yan put down his hand, a trace of depression flashed across his face, and then said, "The Empress must have seen the favor of the Emperor to Bao Zhaoyi. If Bao Zhaoyi is not eliminated, what will you do?"
Chu Yanzi naturally knew that he was all for himself, but, "I have my own way, but you, an imperial physician, are involved in the harem. Have you ever thought about what you should do when Bao Zhaoyi wakes up?"
After hearing her words, she knew she was worried about herself. Fu Yan's eyes lit up, a hint of warmth rose in his heart, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that he was still intent on laughing, Chu Yanzi turned his head angrily. If it weren't for him, he would really want to let go of it like this.
"The Empress does not have to worry about Weichen. Weichen was just walking around the forest casually, but she didn't expect that Li Guiren was so bold and committed a rash murder, and then left in a hurry. After Bao Zhaoyi fainted, Weichen showed up. He thought that Bao Zhaoyi must have been in danger because of that arrow. He wiped her breath for vigilance, but he didn't expect that she was so lucky that Weichen would take action on his own just in case."
After hearing his words, Chu Yanzi couldn't help but mock him, "Can you be bolder than you?" After saying this, he relaxed his eyebrows a little, but he didn't dare to take it by the time he went out, "Are you sure that Bao Zhaoyi had fainted when you went out and didn't see you?"
Fu Yan nodded affirmatively, "Weichen affirmed."
Chu Yanzi looked at him for a while, but finally believed him and nodded gently, "I just hope no one else saw it at that time."
"How did you discover the matter of Concubine Li?" Chu Yanzi was a little puzzled by this matter. If she remembered correctly, Fu Yan was already there when she arrived at Bao Zhaoyi's tent. How could she see the scene of Concubine Li being killed?
Fu Yan understood Chu Yanzi's meaning, shook his head, and explained to her, "I was already in Bao Zhaoyi's tent at that time, so I naturally couldn't see the murder of Guiren Li."
Chu Yanzi frowned, stroked the quilt beside him, and looked at him sideways, "How did you know?"
"Empress, look—" Fu Yan raised his hand and took out a spike from his body and handed it to Chu Yanzi to see.
"What is this?" Chu Yanzi took the Suizi and looked at it carefully. It was obviously a woman's object.
"If the Empress observes carefully, she will find that the ears on the hem of Du Guiren's clothes are the same as this one. Weichen guessed that it was dropped by Du Guiren when he was in a hurry."
"Where did you get this?" After hearing Fu Yan's explanation, Chu Yanzi was still puzzled. Where did he get this time?
Fu Yan calmed his expression, "This was picked up by the lake. When the palace people rescued Guiren Li, it was in chaos and no one noticed the surrounding environment."
Chu Yanzi knew it, nodded, and looked at Fu Yan, "Based on this, can you be sure that it was done by Concubine Du?"
Fu Yan shook his head and looked at Chu Yanzi softly, "Of course not. As a doctor, he usually observes very carefully. I wonder if the Empress has seen that there is a trace of dark red blood on the tassels on the waist of Concubine Du?"
"What?" Chu Yanzi sat upright. She really didn't notice this. She was sure that it was Du Guiren's move, mainly because of the hint that Fu Yan gave her at that time. She believed that Fu Yan would not remind her in uncertain circumstances, let alone... Chu Yanzi looked dark.
"Bao Zhaoyi has a noble character and always has some arrogance. I haven't seen her methods yet. The only thing that needs to be afraid of is the emperor's favor for her." Chu Yanzi corrected her expression and said to Fu Yan, "But Du Guiren is careful, not only has methods, but is also bold and meticulous. Most importantly, she is the biological mother of the eldest prince. Compared to Bao Zhaoyi's pretending to be noble, this Du Guiren is even more difficult."
Fu Yan nodded, obviously knowing that what Chu Yanzi said was right.
Concubine Li was indeed pushed down the river by Concubine Du, but... Fu Yan's expression became dark. Thinking that before he went to Baozhaoyi's tent tonight, he found that Concubine Li was also looking for something in the forest. No matter whether she suspected anything or not, he would not let her continue to investigate and leave a root of disaster for himself, so...
"It's getting late, you can go back first."
Chu Yanzi came back to his senses, put the affairs of Bao Zhaoyi and Concubine Du aside, calmed his expression and said to Fu Yan beside him.
After hearing her words, Fu Yan saw that she was not very good, and knew that she was a little tired, so he couldn't bear to disturb her anymore. He nodded and said softly, "Okay, then Empress, you have a good rest, and I will retreat first."
Chu Yanzi closed his eyes, said nothing, but lay down and turned sideways.
Fu Yan stopped talking and whispered out. When he went outside the tent, it was still dawn. Bai Hua, who was beside him, looked at him coldly and said coldly, "Doctor Fu, don't cause trouble for my concubine."
Fu Yan just glanced at her and knew that she was eager to protect her master, and did not care about her. He also said coldly, "I won't let her have something to do." Even if her hands are stained with blood, I will protect her.
Thinking of the scene where Chu Yanzi cried desperately on the day the eldest prince was in the third place, Fu Yan felt a pungent pain in his heart. He would never want to see the scene of that day again.
After being blocked by Fu Yan, Bai Hua did not continue to speak. He lowered his head to cover his expression in his eyes. As long as the Empress is happy, anything can be done.
After Fu Yan left, Bai Hua lifted the curtain, walked into the tent, and approached Chu Yanzi, and saw that she was already asleep, with gentle eyebrows and eyes closed, and her eyes looked like she was safe and sound. It made people see her, and her heart felt soft.
Bai Hua stretched out his hand and stroked Chu Yanzi's face with a faint expression in his eyes. My empress...
In Bao Zhaoyi's tent, Emperor Yong sat on the side of Bao Zhaoyi, holding a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on her face. Bao Zhaoyi's wound had been bandaged. At this time, his clothes were covered, and the hideous wound could not be seen.
Emperor Yong thought of Bao Zhaoyi's injury, and his tense face, which had been caused by Li Guiren's death, finally calmed down.
Seeing Emperor Yong's expression tired, Zhang Jin thought that the emperor had not had a good rest in the past two days, so he couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty, do you want to rest for a while? Otherwise, Bao Zhaoyi would have to worry when he wakes up."
Emperor Yong paused, and indeed felt a little tired. He spoke to Liuzhu next to him, "Take good care of your empress, come to me if you have anything to do."
Liuzhu knew that Emperor Yong was going back to rest, but she did not dare to disturb him. She lowered her head and replied, "Yes, I respectfully send you to the emperor."
