Chapter 126 The Prince is Under House Arrest
The emperor looked at Fu Qingyin and laughed angrily.
"Alright, you know I won't punish you, so forget it. If he knows, he will know. It's only a matter of time."
"As for favors," the emperor said coldly, "Over the years, I have given Nan Shun more than just favors. I have not seen them express gratitude, but instead have fed their ambitions."
"You did a good job in your trip to Nanshun this time, and the news you brought back is also very important," the emperor looked at Fu Qingyin gently, "After I have read your plan, you will implement it."
"I obey the decree."
The emperor motioned him to sit down and said, "Try this new tea. If you like it, take some back."
Fu Qingyin thanked him, sat down, and savoured the wine slowly. The emperor looked at him expectantly.
"how?"
"It's good, but it's not as good as the spring tea that the emperor gave me last time," Fu Qingyin put down the teacup, "I didn't finish it last time, so I kept saving it."
The emperor laughed: "You have such a tongue."
He waved his hand and looked at Eunuch Wei beside him: "I remember you still have some spring tea from last time, let him take it away."
"yes."
Fu Qingyin stood up to thank him and asked to leave. Eunuch Wei accompanied him out, took some tea and watched him leave.
Back in the study, the emperor was looking at the plan Fu Qingyin had written this time.
"Your Majesty, the commander has left."
The emperor said without even looking up: "This plan is well written, bold, and feasible."
Eunuch Wei smiled and said softly: "The commander has always been ruthless and daring."
After saying this, he took the bowl of golden pear and white fungus soup that the Queen had sent.
"Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"
The emperor didn't even look at it and said: "I'm not hungry, you can take it and use it."
Eunuch Wei did not dare to answer, and the emperor paused: "Has Yu Shengsheng ever met the prince before coming to the study?"
Eunuch Wei lowered his eyes and bent down: "Yes."
"Princess Ruiyang was brought into the palace by Second Master Su. She probably wanted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to lead the way to express her gratitude."
The bloodstains on Yu Shengsheng's face and the faces of the queen and her maids appeared in the emperor's eyes, and his eyes turned slightly cold.
"You go there and let the prince read the books of sages in the East Palace for a few days to cultivate his character."
"yes."
East Palace.
The prince had just returned from chatting with the queen and was about to go to the villa to make some arrangements regarding Kong Dezhao in the evening.
Just after changing clothes, the young eunuch came to report that Eunuch Wei had arrived.
He quickly invited someone in, smiling gently, "Eunuch Wei, what is it that bothers you to come here in person?"
Eunuch Wei bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am here to convey the Emperor's instructions. The weather has been hot and dry recently, and people are feeling agitated. Please, Your Highness, read the books of sages in the East Palace for a few days to cultivate your character."
The smile on the prince's face froze for a moment, he was in disbelief.
"Your Highness, the Emperor also loves his son very much. He will start preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in a few days. If you take good care of yourself, you will be the best helper to the Empress at that time."
The prince came back to his senses, clenched his hands silently, and forced a smile on his face: "Your Excellency is right, please report to the emperor, I will obey your order and study carefully, please rest assured."
"I'm leaving now." Eunuch Wei flicked his whisk and left.
The young eunuch escorted him all the way to the gate of the East Palace.
Eunuch Wei walked at a steady pace and said softly, "Do your job well."
The young eunuch nodded and said nothing.
After Eunuch Wei left, the young eunuch turned back and entered the palace: "Your Highness, Eunuch Wei has gone far away."
“Crash!”
The small table was overturned.
The prince was furious: "It's already this late, and the weather is so hot! Why should I be so quiet for no reason?"
“This is simply a disguised form of house arrest.”
He was stunned for a moment, his eyes burning with cruelty: "Fu Qingyin, my father gave this order after meeting him once. It must be what he said!"
"I am not done with you."
…
When Yu Shengsheng arrived outside the palace gate, Su Yanshu had already come out and was standing beside the carriage waiting for her.
Thinking about what the prince said, that the matter between Yu Shengsheng and Kong Dezhao had to be dropped, he felt angry.
After working so hard for so long, it was all in vain in the end. Not only did he get nothing, he also offended the evil spirit Kong Dezhao.
Now Yu Shengsheng has become a princess and Mrs. Wu is dead. What should we do in the future?
Thinking of this, Su Yanshu felt very upset. Fortunately, the prince said that he would find another place for Yu Shengsheng.
The prince did not say where to go, but it would be beneficial to the Su family and himself.
But this time it didn't work out, and his career path had to be put on hold temporarily.
Seeing Yu Shengsheng coming out, Su Yanshu suppressed his chaotic thoughts and went to greet her with a smile.
"Shengsheng, how is it...what happened to your face?"
Yu Shengsheng looked calm: "Nothing, just got rubbed by a branch."
Su Yanshu also wanted to ask how her audience with the emperor went, whether the emperor said anything about the Su family, and whether he mentioned him.
Before anything could be said, Yu Shengsheng had already passed by and was helped into the carriage by Jin Baobao.
Su Yanshu's face was gloomy. Yu Shengsheng's voice came from inside the car: "Second Young Master, the county lord wants to go for a walk on the street, so you don't need to bother following him."
After saying this, Jin Baobao drove the driver off, got on the carriage, and left.
Su Yanshu was almost furious, and ordered his men to follow her and see where she went. If there was any unusual movement, they were to report immediately.
Yu Shengsheng didn't care what he thought. Nanny Zhou looked at the wounds on her face and felt distressed.
"I will apply some medicine to you. You must not leave any scars on your face."
Now Nanny Zhou has developed the habit of carrying medicine with her, and she applies some on her quickly and gently.
"It's okay, it's very shallow," Yu Shengsheng whispered.
Thinking back to when Fu Qingyin hurt her and the palace maid she met when she went out, she now understood.
The medicine that Fu Qingyin gave her had the same effect as the yellow fruit. When she took it, she developed itchiness and rashes all over her body. It didn't have the smell of the yellow fruit, so people wouldn't think it was intentional.
Whether it was hurting her face or making her take medicine, it was all to save her.
Yu Shengsheng didn't feel relieved, nor did she feel secretly happy - she couldn't understand Fu Qingyin, let alone guess what he was thinking.
As for the Su family, even Kong Dezhao, she could at least see through him 60% to 70%.
But Fu Qingyin, not even a little bit.
This person is more dangerous than all the previous ones combined.
We must leave the capital as soon as possible and stay away from all these troubles.
While he was thinking, the carriage stopped.
"Miss, we're here."
Yu Shengsheng came back to her senses, asked Nanny Zhou to stay in the car, and took Jin Baobao into the store.
Shopkeeper Song looked up and saw her, and hurried over to greet her.
"Miss Yu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay? I heard about what happened last time. I wanted to visit you, but I was afraid it would be inconvenient. I hope you can forgive me."
Yu Shengsheng bowed and said, "What are you saying, boss? It's my fault for breaking the promise and not having the time to tell you. I'm really sorry."
"Shopkeeper, I would like to ask..."
Jin Baobao was so anxious that he was sweating, afraid that Yu Shengsheng would ask if he could still go to Jiangnan now.
Now that I have arrived in Jiangnan, what should I do with the task assigned by the commander?
Before Yu Shengsheng finished speaking, Shopkeeper Song seemed to remember something.
"There is work," Shopkeeper Song turned to the counter and motioned the waiter to go to the door.
Yu Shengsheng had a hunch that this job might be unusual.
