Chapter 47 When did Fu Yi become so confused?

"I also feel that I didn't do well." Cheng Nianying sighed softly, "I'll go call the others in."

She said this and ran away.

Fu Yi: “…”

The goal has indeed been achieved, and there is no regret at all.

When Cheng Nianying walked out, she found that everyone outside had left, leaving the empty room with only fluttering prayer flags.

She hurried out and opened the door.

Wu Xun, who was waiting outside the door, turned his head first and looked: "Princess of the County?" She came out so quickly, which means nothing else happened?

Cheng Nianying's hands were still wet. She took the handkerchief from the palace maid and wiped them, her eyes full of innocence: "You guys should go in."

Wu Xun was always on edge, as he was most worried about his master's safety. When he heard this, he went in first.

When he came behind the screen and saw that his master was still sitting there safely, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you keep the Princess, I will..." Wu Xun laughed awkwardly.

Fu Yi: "It's just that doing good deeds requires leaving a name behind."

After these two brief conversations, the palace maids hurried in. Without time to greet, they were worried that the prince had caught a cold, so they hurriedly helped him bathe and change clothes.

Outside, Mother Zou was holding the kitten, still terrified. Seeing Cheng Nianying come out, her clothes still in good condition, she couldn't help but ask, "What should we do with this kitten?"

"What do you mean by that? I'll take it back."

"Prince..."

"How could he be angry?"

"That's good... Then you were in there just now..."

"Just a few words."

Mother Zou knew what to do and stopped talking, thinking that it might be some private conversation.

Cheng Nianying took the kitten back into her arms and said, "I asked about the recent situation in the mansion. The murderer can't be caught, and he won't be caught again."

Mother Zou breathed a sigh of relief, but said worriedly, "Ouch!"

Cheng Nianying ran towards the stairs.

Mother Zou quickly followed: "Leaving now?"

Cheng Nianying thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. One should act completely, otherwise it would give others a handle.

So Sheng waited until Fu Yi came out.

Seeing that she was still there, Fu Yi thought to himself that it was not easy.

"Your clothes are wet too, go change them." Fu Yi gave her an excuse to leave.

Cheng Nianying looked around and asked, "Does the prince want to stay here?"

"Well, some time ago, His Majesty took great pains to order a high monk to set up a temple here, precisely to relieve the calamity that has befallen me. I will stay here for a couple of days, and I believe my health will improve."

Fu Yi thought of her reaction when he saw the emperor in monk's robes that day, and asked again, "Madam, do you want to stay here with me?"

That's not what I want.

There are too many Buddha statues.

Cheng Nianying looked embarrassed: "I'm afraid it might be blasphemous..."

She knew that it was forbidden for men and women to lie together in front of the Buddha.

Fu Yi readily replied, "Well, that's why I didn't ask you to come along, considering this point. Then you can go back and rest."

Cheng Nianying: "Yeah."

"Wait." Fu Yi raised his arm and spread his five fingers, "Come here, let me touch it again."

The others who were around caught their breath when they heard the sound and turned away in unison. Mother Zou's heart skipped a beat.

Cheng Nianying walked closer in a daze.

But all he saw was Fu Yi's big hand falling on the kitten's head and rubbing it twice with a little force.

"Okay, go ahead." This time he smiled more happily.

Cheng Nianying climbed down the stairs and looked back at him halfway. Speaking of which, bathing in front of the Buddha statue was also quite blasphemous.

On the way back, Cheng Nianying saw that the people from the Imperial Capital Government and the Divine Police Department had begun to withdraw.

"We are going to the Wei family tomorrow. Do we need to bring any gifts?" Cheng Nianying asked Mother Zou.

"Oh my master, the imperial wine you took last time was enough for the Wei family to boast for three months. Why spend more?"

Although ordinary people need to pass on a visiting card beforehand, why would this person need to pass on a visiting card?

The other party opened the door a little slowly, that was their fault.

Cheng Nianying nodded. It just so happened that she was poor, and it was inconvenient for her to always take things from the "Princess of the County" treasury at will.

After a long time, I couldn't bear to let go.

Cheng Nianying's plan was very good, but it couldn't keep up with the rapid changes.

On the second day after the Prince's Mansion returned to peace, the Crown Princess of Prince Kang's Mansion sent an invitation, asking her to come to the house, saying that she wanted to calm her down.

Having a face-to-face chat with the Crown Princess is one thing, but rejecting the invitation is another.

That's too cruel.

Cheng Nianying was feeling embarrassed.

"Go." Fu Yi's voice sounded outside the door.

Since Fu Yi fell ill, most of the doors and stairs in the mansion have been renovated, and now Wu Xun pushed him in like this.

"I'll go with you." Fu Yi continued, "It's not good for recuperation to stay in the mansion all the time."

"Wei Yanhua's place..."

“She’ll get the post too.”

"How did the prince know?"

"Judging from my brother and sister-in-law's usual temperament, this should be the case."

Cheng Nianying had to go and see if what he said was true, and immediately agreed: "Okay!"

*

For the Wei family, this was the eighth day that the Princess had not visited them.

Uncle Wei is here again, but today there is someone else accompanying him.

Old Master Wei looked around and said, "It's been a while since we moved out, and no one has taken care of it. This courtyard has become so deserted."

Uncle Wei held his father tightly, acting like a filial son: "You and Mother shouldn't have moved away then."

"The noble has spoken. Your brother's future depends entirely on him. Your mother and I are not people who cannot endure hardship. What if we take a step back? This is all for the sake of the entire family."

Old Master Wei said, then changed the subject: "Yanhua was born a fool, and now she has offended the noble. Your brother has suffered a great setback in Kuizhou. Yanhua has hurt her father badly!"

Madam Wei twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand and chanted hurriedly, "Amitabha. This little girl will go to the eighteen levels of hell sooner or later."

Old Master Wei didn't respond to this question, but instead asked, "What about the Princess of the County?"

Uncle Wei thought for a moment and said, "It was just a moment of great excitement on the part of the noble. When he saw me trying to take Jiang away that day, he didn't show any indignation. I think he just thought it was a novelty."

Given the Wei family's status in the Imperial Capital, there was really no way for them to know what was happening in the Prince's Mansion.

Old Master Wei said nothing more. Supported by his son, he walked into the house and arrived outside Jiang's courtyard.

The gate was locked from the inside.

Uncle Wei found it funny: "This is to protect me."

"I can't let myself starve to death in there." Old Master Wei shook his head, "Then let's just leave it alone for now."

Uncle Wei was unhappy: "A few servants are still helping me..."

Old Master Wei spoke with the tone of a veteran: "Don't be impatient, divide and conquer..."

I haven’t said how to do it yet.

The servant came running over: "Invitation, invitation... Prince Kang's palace sent an invitation! They want to invite the young lady to be their guest."

Old Master Wei paused and looked at his son.

Madam Wei also looked at her son.

Uncle Wei's face suddenly turned pale. He took a few deep breaths, strode to the gate, and knocked heavily on the door: "Wei Yanhua! Come out! ... Prince Kang's Mansion wants to invite you."

At that time, at the Kangwang Mansion, Prince Fu Cheng glanced at the list his wife had drawn up, nodded in approval, and said, "You have put a lot of thought into it. The people you invited are very particular."

"It's not easy to get my sister-in-law and I to get close to Prince Kang's Mansion."

"We're actually blood relatives, yet you're wasting your time and energy on us." Fu Cheng shook his head. "He's really clueless. ... He's nowhere near as good as you."

The Crown Prince's Consort sat down with him and whispered, "I see the Prince really does favor her... maybe it's because she has a good complexion."

Fu Cheng was dissatisfied: "When did Fu Yi become so confused? After all, appearance is just external. What's the point of being stupid?"
