Chapter 124: It was you who saved me?
In Fu Qingyin's memory, the person who saved him was thin and skinny, a little country girl. She had her hair tied up like a boy, and her face was so thin that only her big eyes with distinct black and white were visible.
Looking at Yu Shengsheng in front of him, she is indeed very thin, but a little taller, and no longer a country girl. However, her clothes are simple and her hairstyle is simple, which is very different from other young ladies from official families.
She lowered her head, so her face and eyes could not be seen.
He glanced at it casually and then took it back indifferently.
"Your leg looks fine now," he said, changing the subject. "You have to be more careful next time. The bones are hard and you can't just touch them carelessly. After all, they're not the hardest."
Kong Dezhao snorted and laughed: "The commander just returned to the capital. He knows everything about my son. It's just a broken bone, a small matter. You don't need to worry about it."
"Nan Shun is the most important person in the eyes of the emperor, so I naturally have to know more about him. Not to mention that the prince's leg is injured, I even know which concubine's room the prince is staying in tonight."
Kong Dezhao's face changed slightly and he glared at him.
This was the first time he had suffered a setback since coming to Beijing.
If it was someone else, even if it was the prince, he would have responded long ago, but it was Fu Qingyin.
He can't.
Before going to Beijing, his father had warned him that he could offend anyone, even the crown prince and the prime minister. He should be reckless as this would make the emperor think he was rude and disrespectful and would not blame him.
But only Fu Qingyin endured it if he could.
Fu Jingyin himself is a blood-soaked knife, fearless. Only when he is rude to others, others cannot do anything to him.
Otherwise, the attack will result in death or injury.
Kong Dezhao felt that it was most likely Fu Qingyin who had injured his leg.
Seeing Kong Dezhao being humiliated, the prince felt secretly happy, thinking that finally someone could deal with this guy.
The next moment, Fu Qingyin said, "I heard that the Crown Prince and Madam Kong had a deep relationship. When she passed away, the Crown Prince could not attend the funeral, but he still wanted to go out for fun. His broad mind really impressed me."
The prince's face changed slightly, it was bad.
Kong Dezhao's face instantly turned angry, like an angry beast: "What did you say? Who died?"
"Madam Kong, your grandmother, what? You don't know?" Fu Qingyin showed just the right amount of surprise.
Without saying a word, Kong Dezhao turned around, mounted his horse, and galloped away.
He really didn't know and hadn't received any news at all.
How could my grandmother die? She was fine when she came, and he even said he would bring his granddaughter-in-law back to see her.
Fu Qingyin nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness, I will take my leave first."
"Commander, please go slowly."
Fu Qingyin turned and left without even looking at Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng kept her head down, feeling the prince approaching, and clenched her hands silently.
"Shengsheng, you've really made it," the prince pinched her chin and forced her to look up, "How did you get the title of princess?"
"Have a good talk with me."
Yu Shengsheng's dark eyes reflected the prince's slightly crazy eyes: "Your Highness, I don't know either. According to the imperial edict, it was General Su who exchanged it for his military merits."
"Su Huaiyuan has made a contribution, but how can it be that great? Besides, he can change it just by saying so?" The prince did not believe it and put force on his fingers, "You really don't know?"
Yu Shengsheng said with pain: "I don't know."
"Oh, Shengsheng, you don't think that you can escape from my clutches just because you become a princess, do you? Remember, no matter who you are, I will be the ruler of a country in the future, and you will always be..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a cold voice: "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
The prince immediately let go and took a step back.
"Commander? How come you…"
Damn, why is Fu Qingyin back again?
The prince put the hand that was pinching Yu Shengsheng behind his back and clenched it tightly, with a smile on his face.
"Commander, is there anything else?"
Fu Qingyin remained silent, his eyes slightly gloomy, moving back and forth between him and Yu Shengsheng.
There was a dark light in those narrow eyes, as if they could see through all hidden hearts, and the prince's heart was tightening again and again.
The prince pursed his slightly dry lips and said, "I am teaching Miss Yu the rules. She must thank the emperor for his kindness and must not lose her manners. She has learned etiquette from her mother before. If she loses her manners, her mother will also be implicated."
Fu Qingyin didn't believe a word of his words.
"I see," Fu Qingyin narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yu Shengsheng, "Princess Ruiyang is really lucky to have the queen teach her etiquette and the prince lead the way."
Yu Shengsheng bowed and said, "It is my good fortune, the Queen's kindness, and the Crown Prince's virtue."
A hint of smile flashed across Fu Qingyin's eyes: "Princess Ruiyang, please follow me. I am going to see the emperor."
Yu Shengsheng felt relieved: "Thank you, Commander."
Fu Qingyin turned and left, and Yu Shengsheng followed with his head lowered.
The two men left, and the prince stood there, his face shrouded in gloom.
This matter is too strange, he has to discuss it with the queen.
Fu Qingyin took Yu Shengsheng for a walk and when there was no one around, he stopped.
Yu Shengsheng also stopped and bowed, "What do you want, Commander?"
Fu Qingyin chuckled: "You are quite smart."
He casually picked a leaf from the side, flicked his finger, and the leaf suddenly became sharp, like a flying thin blade that scratched Yu Shengsheng's cheek.
The distance was close and the speed was fast, so Yu Shengsheng couldn't dodge at all. She felt a slight pain on her face and knew she was injured.
Her face turned pale instantly, and she looked up at Fu Qingyin, fear rising in her heart.
Compared with Kong Dezhao, even the crown prince, Fu Qingyin is more like a superior who has the power of life and death. A leaf can take her life without making a sound.
"You are just a bit courageous," Fu Qingyin said leisurely, "You were the one who saved me back then?"
Yu Shengsheng lowered his eyes and did not touch the wound on his face: "Replying to the commander, if you mean the hunting in the mountains more than three years ago, it was me."
There is both time and place.
Hao Mengye had also investigated and was not wrong. Fu Qingyin had never doubted it, but seeing her like this, he couldn't help but want to ask.
"You look quite different now than you did before," Fu Qingyin's tone was difficult to tell, "Has Hao Mengye ever told you that if I help you three times, I'll repay you."
"I have said so," Yu Shengsheng said without hesitation, "Commander Hao has told me clearly. I am very grateful, but I dare not take credit for it. I will remember every time the Red Dragon Guards have helped me, and I will never forget it."
Fu Qingyin raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Are your injuries related to the prince?"
He suddenly changed the subject, like a single knife, straight to Yu Shengsheng's sore spot.
Yu Shengsheng bit her lip and remained silent for a moment.
Fu Qingyin asked again: "Is it related to the Queen? Or, both?"
Yu Shengsheng raised her eyes to look at him. His eyes were calm and cold, without any teasing or mockery.
No emotion can be seen.
Yu Shengsheng took a deep breath: "All of them."
Fu Qingyin turned around and said, "Let's go."
Yu Shengsheng's heart was beating like a drum, but she didn't dare to ask.
Where to go?
