Chapter 214 How to Escape

Seeing the eunuch's rare cold attitude, Prince Ding felt a tightness in his throat and couldn't help but turn his eyes to look at Fu Yi.

But Fu Yi acted as if nothing had happened.

Those who have saved the emperor are different, they are tough! Prince Ding thought to himself.

Fu Yi nodded and said, "Thank you for taking this trip, eunuch. I'll tidy up my clothes. I came to Prince Ding's mansion in such a hurry today that I look really embarrassed. It's not good to see the emperor like this and offend His Majesty."

The eunuch was silent for a moment, thinking about the emperor's instructions.

"Don't let him take Wu Xun with him."

But I didn't see Guard Wu.

The chief eunuch relaxed and said, "Please do as you please, Prince. However, the matter of seeing the emperor cannot be delayed."

"Of course. Please, Prince Ding, bring me a change of clothes, and burn them with incense."

Prince Ding nodded.

But I don't understand why Fu Yi changed into clothes at this time.

Fu Yi turned around and went back to the previous room, with Cheng Nianying following closely behind him.

"You want me to delay, huh? How long?" Fu Yi asked Cheng Nianying curiously.

He didn't care about anything else.

He only cared about what Cheng Nianying was thinking at that moment.

"Such a short time isn't enough. I can only do a rough painting with some rouge and powder..."

Fu Yi understood: "You want to... follow me into the palace?"

"Um."

"...save you..." The two words Cheng Nianying just said were still echoing in her ears.

She was still thinking about saving him.

Fu Yi swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and called a servant from the palace over.

"Ask him to prepare whatever you want."

Reject Cheng Nianying?

No.

He wouldn't refuse.

Only when one has made sacrifices can one feel reluctant to let go.

He liked Cheng Nianying's constant mention of "saving him".

The eunuch waited outside for a while, but he couldn't wait any longer.

Is this Prince Danshuo going to run away?

No, no, no matter how smart he is, he can't guess why Your Majesty summoned him today.

He shouldn't have been so cold just now. If he really scared the person away and he couldn't bring the person back, it would be very bad.

The eunuch unconsciously raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off his face.

This scene even surprised the eldest son of Prince Ding.

Fu Yi was summoned, and the eunuch spoke in a cold and hard tone, even in a sarcastic tone. Anyone would guess that Fu Yi might be in trouble.

Why doesn't Fu Yi seem afraid, but instead the eunuch is wiping his sweat?

Is this Fu Yi's ability?

It has come to the point where no matter what the situation is or who is in front of him, in the end the other party will be the only one who will be panicked and nervous?

Prince Ding's eldest son clenched his fists.

This was exactly what his heart desired... This time, everything was tied to that woman. Oh, by the way, what's her name?

The chief eunuch suddenly stamped his foot. "You, go knock on the door and hurry him up. We agreed that the meeting with the emperor must not be delayed. Why is the prince dawdling?"

The young eunuch who was pointed at felt extremely miserable, but he didn't even dare to show a bitter look, and went up tremblingly.

He raised his hand to knock.

The eunuch made up his mind, walked forward and kicked the door open.

Fu Yi slowly turned his head from inside the door: "Eunuch, have you been irritable lately? Why are you so rude?"

The eunuch took a closer look.

A maid stood opposite him, raising her hand to straighten Fu Yi's collar.

What took you so long?

The eunuch choked on his breath.

"The prince has forgotten the time, so I have to forgive you for having to come and remind him." The eunuch smiled wryly.

Fu Yi turned around and raised his foot: "Let's go."

"I will be honored to see Your Majesty and apologize to you."

A pure white mask with only two eye holes was floating in front of his eyes.

...Fu Yi!!!

Jiang Shenyuan took a deep breath and woke up from the nightmare.

He instinctively tried to sit up when he felt a sharp pain in his palm. He retracted his arm, remembering that his palm had been cut in half.

He moved his body with difficulty, but felt the same sharp pain in his waist.

That was left by Cheng Nianying.

"My lord...? My lord, are you awake?" The palace maid next to him poked her head out tremblingly.

Jiang Shenyuan didn't look at her, but brought his palm closer and smelled a little bit of the remaining smell of burning flesh.

He permed it himself.

If not, how could he stop the bleeding and survive?

"My lord, you haven't eaten anything yet. Do you need some food?"

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty has summoned Prince Danshuo."

"Oh, that's great." Jiang Shenyuan stretched out his hand, "Help me up."

Just this action made him feel tired and painful.

"Father, you chose for me a dog that bites."

"What is the master talking about?" The palace maid was stunned.

Another maid scolded with a cold face: "Don't worry about it, just do your job."

Jiang Shenyuan looked up when he heard the voice and said, "I've seen you before. You used to be with Fu Yi, and you were called... called..."

"I can't remember." Jiang Shenyuan didn't have any regrets on his face.

He told Fu Yi that people like Prince Danshuo probably wouldn't remember the little people at all.

So does he.

When Fu Yi arrived before the emperor, he was reviewing the memorials at hand.

Yin Huiyi came out from the inner room and passed by him. Seeing that he was accompanied by a maid, he looked at her twice in surprise.

Fu Yi's gaze also lingered on Yin Huiyi for a moment.

After the Weiyang incident, the emperor showed closeness to the Yin family again, and Yin Huiyi naturally often appeared in front of the emperor.

"The prince is here." The eunuch's voice was heard in the hall.

The emperor did not put down his pen. He bowed his head, coughed twice, and said, "Come in."

Compared to the voice Cheng Nianying heard before leaving Beijing, it sounded much older.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects..."

"How many times has this happened?" the emperor interrupted him. "You've abused your power without reporting to the emperor!"

"I am deeply troubled and have never dared to act on my own."

The emperor picked up the soup bowl that had just been brought to him and was about to throw it at Fu Yi's feet.

Only then did I see that there was someone following Fu Yi.

"You are meeting the emperor today, and you brought someone else with you? Didn't the eunuch who delivered the message explain it to you clearly?" The emperor put down the soup bowl, and the light fell on his face, illuminating the uneven wrinkles on his face more clearly.

He is really too old.

After saying this, he was so angry that he coughed twice.

"It's not that Eunuch Xu misrepresented the message, but it's simply that without someone to support me, it would be difficult for me to reach Your Majesty."

The emperor lowered his gaze and saw the two men's arms intertwined, supporting each other very tightly.

"Oh, my dear, you are sick again."

The emperor paused lightly on the word "again" today.

The one who supported Fu Yi was naturally Cheng Nianying. However, there were not enough things in Prince Ding's mansion, and the disguise was also simple.

Fortunately, she was not afraid, but she was a little nervous at this moment.

Is it really as Fu Yi said, that they are about to fall out?

How can Fu Yi escape this disaster?

She couldn't imagine it.

"Why don't you bring a chair for the prince?" the emperor continued.

"I dare not. Please punish me by standing and answering first."

"Why don't you dare? Do you know you've made a mistake? You can even mobilize the Imperial Guards to kill people, Prince Danshuo, you're so powerful!"

When people are nervous, their bodies become hot and they sweat.

But Cheng Nianying felt that Fu Yi's skin, which was pressed against her, was slightly cool, dry and not sticky at all.

Not only was he not afraid, he was also extremely calm.

He met the emperor's gaze and said, "I have been assassinated many times, even my wife did not escape..."

The emperor said nothing, rubbing the red pen in his palm and listening to his excuses.

"Fortunately, we are always rescued by the imperial guards patrolling the capital."

"This time, it was simply that the Imperial Guards happened to discover that I was in danger. At my suggestion, they simply led their men to track down the assassin and eliminate his lair in one fell swoop!"

"The Imperial Guards are responsible for guarding the Imperial City. How could I mobilize them? They simply shouldered their responsibilities, bravely apprehended the criminal, and incidentally, resolved my worries."

"I was just about to write a memorial to Your Majesty to commend them for their achievements."

"Oh right, they are from the Imperial Guard Infantry Division, and their commander is Jiang Shenyuan, Commander Jiang."

The fact that Jiang Shenyuan is the owner of Shaoqu Tower is a secret.

His subordinates also don't know.

Fu Yi used the imperial guards to capture the Renzi Pavilion in Shaoqu Tower. However, for the more important Tianzi Pavilion, he used the palace soldiers of Prince Ding.

There is a reason for all these steps.

He has never been an impulsive person who acts for the sake of a beautiful woman.

He has it all planned out.

Just to make Cheng Nianying worry.
