Chapter 323 I Don't Want to Take the Blame for This
Yu Shengsheng took a deep breath and tried her best to calm her face and voice.
Just pretend that you don't know and don't remember. I guess... no one can do anything to her.
"Come in."
Jin Baobao poked his head in: "Miss, are you awake?"
Yu Shengsheng: “…”
"Breakfast is ready. Do you want to eat here or..."
"Go back and eat."
Yu Shengsheng did not hesitate.
"Oh, I'll wait for you outside then."
Yu Shengsheng quickly tidied her hair and straightened her wrinkled clothes, ready to pack carefully when she returned to the house.
As soon as he left the house, he quickly looked around like a thief.
Fortunately, I didn’t see Fu Qingyin, Wuchang, or Hao Mengye.
Then he thought that at this time, he should have gone to court and had not returned yet. Although Hao Mengye did not stand in the court like other officials, he was still responsible for guarding safety.
Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I saw Hao Mengye coming towards me.
"Princess."
Yu Shengsheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Commander-in-chief."
Hao Mengye walked up to her, his face expressionless and his tone calm, but one could faintly hear his dissatisfaction.
"My Lady, the Commander cannot drink alcohol, not just because he can't drink much, but also because... he has an old illness. If he drinks too much, he will get a rash."
"Thank you, Princess, for your kindness in inviting the commander to dinner, but please do not let your kindness become a weapon to hurt the commander."
Yu Shengsheng felt guilty, especially when she heard about Fu Qingyin's old illness, but she felt a little unhappy when she heard the end.
She bowed and looked up at Hao Mengye: "I have remembered what the commander-in-chief said. I will pay special attention when I invite the commander to eat next time. If I can do something for the commander's old illness, I will also do my best to help."
"However, the commander-in-chief has a disagreement. Since I found out that he has a low alcohol tolerance, I have never cooked any dishes related to alcohol. Last night was no exception."
Hao Mengye was stunned: Not her?
Just as he was about to ask for clarification, a Red Dragon Guard came quickly.
"The princess hasn't left yet, that's great. Su Dingqin wants to see the princess, do you want to see her?"
Yu Shengsheng was in no mood at the moment. She just wanted to leave quickly and avoid embarrassment as much as possible.
"not see."
After that, she left in a hurry.
Hao Mengye looked at her back and raised his eyebrows slightly.
It is indeed different from before. Before, I felt that she had claws but no light.
Now, it's time to show your claws.
Where does the confidence come from?
Hao Mengye withdrew his gaze, turned around and saw Fu Qingyin. His heart trembled, and he quickly walked towards him.
"Commander, you are awake, how do you feel?"
Fu Qingyin's expression did not change, and he snorted.
"It doesn't matter." He thought for a moment, "You...went into the palace last night?"
Hao Mengye did not dare to hide it: "Yes, your situation is really urgent, and I have to go to the palace to ask for medicine."
"What did you say?"
Hao Mengye recounted what happened and Fu Qingyin frowned slightly.
"That wine has nothing to do with her. Ben took it himself. In the past, whatever fruit wine Hei Bai made, the bottles all looked similar."
Hei Bai loved wine since he was a child, and he was a genius in winemaking. Once the wine passed through his hands, it would have different aromas and flavors.
It is easy to make wine from any kind of fruit or flower, and many of them do not taste like alcohol. Instead, they are sweet and mellow, and you might think they are fruit juice or something. Only after drinking them do you realize they are wine.
Last time it was Hei Bai who did it on purpose, this time it was simply because Fu Qingyin didn't recognize it and took the wrong thing.
Hao Mengye bowed his head: "I misunderstood the princess, I will apologize to her later."
Fu Qingyin said calmly: "Hei Bai likes to tinker with those things when he has nothing to do. He really deserves to be punished."
Hao Mengye: “…” Actually, black and white are quite wronged, at least this time.
Hei Bai, who was near Hongyuan Temple, sneezed violently several times.
Fu Qingyin straightened his sleeves and said, "You said that the emperor stayed at Concubine Shu's place last night?"
"That's right," Hao Mengye nodded, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "Will the emperor allow the third prince to go to worship? After all, he has some reputation among the civil servants."
"The students in the academy have a good relationship with him. They are all children of officials."
Fu Qingyin raised his hand: "No, the one who will pay homage this time can only be the prince."
The time is almost up. If the Third Prince was allowed to go, he should have been called back long ago.
The Third Prince was absorbed in his work outside the palace, while Concubine Shu lived a peaceful life in the palace. The mother and son were like free and easy cranes in the wild. The Emperor admired them, but when it came to grand celebrations and facing the people of the world, a crane's neck and head could not bear the heavy crown.
Although the prince was under house arrest this time, the root cause of the problem was not with him. He had been under house arrest for many days. If he continued to be under house arrest, I am afraid that the officials would not agree.
Furthermore, the auspicious sign had already occurred and the emperor would not ignore it.
The emperor understands the women around him and his son, so how could his women and son not understand him?
The Queen and the Crown Prince have been scheming for more than a decade and have always succeeded in finding the right remedy for the problem.
"Prepare the car and enter the palace."
What's more, Fu Qingyin still has to go there personally to stabilize the situation.
The emperor was reading a memorial when Eunuch Wei came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the commander wants to see you."
The emperor raised his lips and said, "Let him in. Tell them to prepare snacks and hangover soup."
"yes."
Fu Qingyin entered the study and stepped forward to greet him: "Your Majesty, I thank you for the medicine."
The emperor smiled and said, "Get up quickly. What's wrong? Are you feeling better? You too, don't have to go to the palace to thank me. Rest well. Taking good care of your health is the most important thing."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am now fine."
"You came just in time. I was just about to discuss with you that I will not go on September 9th. I want to copy some scriptures and pray for the Emperor Retired, and stay here in the Emperor Retired's palace alone for a day."
Fu Qingyin's eyes flickered: "Your Majesty, please take care of your health and don't worry too much."
The emperor sighed and said, "You are the only one who understands my thoughts best. Who do you think is the best candidate for the pilgrimage?"
Fu Qingyin showed just the right amount of surprise on his face: "Who? This matter is about going on behalf of the Emperor, shouldn't it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? I don't think there are other candidates."
A smile flashed in the emperor's eyes: "The September 9th incense offering is not for offering sacrifices to heaven or spring ploughing. Even other princes can do it."
Fu Qingyin frowned and thought: "The other princes are either not in the capital or too young. I don't know who else there is."
The emperor smiled even more: "However, the prince is under house arrest now..."
Fu Qingyin was slightly surprised: "Your Majesty, the prince has been shutting himself in his mansion and refusing visitors, copying scriptures day and night. Isn't it for the September 9th incense burning and praying for blessings?"
The emperor was startled, then smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, that's absolutely right."
"Qing Yin, my mood has improved since you came."
As he was speaking, Eunuch Wei came in with some sobering soup.
"Drink it quickly, it's specially prepared for you."
Fu Qingyin glanced at the soup and said helplessly, "Yes."
Seeing him drink it, the emperor became even happier and laughed out loud.
"A small pot of vegetables can make you drunk like this, you really are..."
Fu Qingyin sighed but said nothing.
The emperor laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Come, pass on the order."
