Chapter 153 Regret Marrying Liu Yueyao
After sitting in the lotus garden for a while, Liu Yuetang returned to the palace.
But who would have thought that he would meet Fu Zhixing.
Fu Zhixing's breathing stopped for a moment when he saw Liu Yuetang, and he stood there motionless.
I saw her walking towards me with a cold expression, as if I were a stranger.
Fu Zhixing suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and bowed: "Your Highness greets Her Majesty Xipin."
Liu Yuetang stopped and said calmly without looking at him, "Master Fu, there's no need to be so polite."
Seeing Liu Yuetang about to leave again, Fu Zhixing hurriedly asked, "Is the queen doing well in the palace?"
Liu Yuetang glanced at him coldly, raised her hand to lift the pearl hairpin on her bun, unconsciously revealing a hint of majesty.
"What does this have to do with Master Fu?"
After saying this, Liu Yuetang walked forward with great grace.
The shawl wrapped around her arms lifted up slightly and brushed past Fu Zhixing.
This scene was very similar to the scene before she entered the palace in the fifth year of Jingyuan.
Fu Zhixing stared at Liu Yuetang's back until the figure in his eyes gradually disappeared. Then he withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath with a gloomy expression.
This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Concubine Zhao in the distance.
"Does Xipin know this person?"
Xia Ying pondered for a moment and replied, "I also heard that Concubine Xi's sister married last year's top scholar. Recently, the editors of the Hanlin Academy have gone to the library to organize and annotate various classics. I think this person is Concubine Xi's brother-in-law."
"Oh, just my brother-in-law?" Concubine Zhao shook the translucent plum blossom fan in her hand.
"What the Queen means is..."
Concubine Zhao curled her lips and smiled: "The way I look at him is not just as simple as looking at my aunt's sister."
"Go and thoroughly investigate what happened to Concubine Xi outside the palace."
Xia Ying nodded: "Yes, I will go right away."
Fu Zhixing went straight to the study when he returned home.
He took out the glass cup that Liu Yuetang had given him when they got married, and rubbed it gently in his palm.
"Yuetang, if you had not entered the palace, it would have been great if you were the one to marry me."
He thought that if this were the case, Yuetang would not have to engage in intrigues with the concubines in the palace and would not have to live a precarious life.
He knew that she only looked good.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Who knows when the emperor will listen to the treacherous people again as he did before and put Liu Yuetang under house arrest or banish her to the cold palace.
If she married him, she could stay at home as his wife, take care of her husband and children, and live a peaceful life.
With Yuetang's good character, she would surely please her father and mother, and the family wouldn't be in such a state of unrest like it is now.
Just as I was thinking about it, the door creaked open and a blue figure flashed in briskly.
Fu Zhixing quickly hid the glass cup behind him.
He looked up at Liu Yueyao, who looked unpredictable, and said, "Yueyao, I've told you many times to knock on the door before coming in."
"You and I are husband and wife, do we need to be so unfamiliar with each other?"
"What? Do you have a mistress in your house, or are you hiding something that you won't let me see?"
Fu Zhixing was already accustomed to Liu Yueyao's aggressive demeanor. He patiently explained as usual, "I have official business to attend to right now. Your sudden entrance would only disrupt my flow."
Liu Yueyao noticed that as soon as she came in, Fu Zhixing put his hands behind his back.
She said coldly: "What's behind you?"
Fu Zhixing's face tightened, knowing that if Liu Yueyao saw this, she would go crazy and make a scene again.
He quickly shook his head: "Nothing."
"If you don't have anything, take it out and let me see it!"
Liu Yueyao's voice became sharper and she stared at Fu Zhixing.
But Fu Zhixing still stood with his hands behind his back and refused to take it out.
She rushed forward and was about to grab Fu Zhixing's hand.
Fu Zhixing dodged, causing Liu Yueyao to stagger and almost fall.
She was furious and said, "Fu Zhixing! You really have something shameful in your hands!"
After saying that, she suddenly pounced on Fu Zhixing and twisted his arm hard.
During the struggle, the glass cup slipped from his hand, fell to the ground with a "bang", and immediately broke into several pieces.
Looking at the debris on the ground, Liu Yueyao's pupils constricted and her face turned ashen in an instant.
"Isn't this the glass cup that Liu Yuetang sent?"
"So what! Do you know what crime it is to damage something given by the current queen herself?" Fu Zhixing suppressed his anger in his low voice, and quickly squatted down to pick up the glass fragments on the ground.
Seeing him carefully pick up the broken pieces of colored glass in his hands, taking good care of them, Liu Yueyao's anger surged, and she screamed, "Fu Zhixing! Are you still thinking about that bitch Liu Yuetang?"
Fu Zhixing frowned and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"
Liu Yueyao glared at her with red eyes. "Am I talking nonsense? Fu Zhixing, when Liu Yuetang was imprisoned in the palace, you looked like you were always worried about her. And today, out of the blue, you took out this glass cup again. What's going on? Did you see that bitch Liu Yuetang when you entered the palace?"
Her pretty face gradually turned sinister, and she breathed rapidly with anger: "Seeing her bright and beautiful face, does she regret not marrying her back then? Is that why you hold this glass cup and look at it, making you miss her?"
"Shut up! Liu Yueyao!" Fu Zhixing pursed his thin lips into a straight line, his face completely gloomy.
Seeing him getting angry out of shame, Liu Yueyao chuckled softly, her clear voice carrying a hint of morbid madness: "What? Haha."
"Have I hit a nerve?"
"Do you regret marrying me?"
"It's a pity, Fu Zhixing, it's no use regretting it!" She stretched out her thumb and pushed it hard on Fu Zhixing's chest.
"She is the current Concubine Xi, the Emperor's woman! You don't even have the right to take a second look at her!"
Every word Liu Yueyao said burned Fu Zhixing's heart.
The pent-up anger in his heart erupted completely, and he slapped Liu Yueyao hard on the cheek with a loud slap.
"That's enough, Liu Yueyao! If you want to go crazy, go back to your room and don't act like a tyrant in this study."
The unexpected slap made Liu Yueyao almost unable to stand. Fortunately, she held onto the table beside her and did not fall down.
She covered her painful and numb cheek and looked at Fu Zhixing in disbelief: "Fu Zhixing! How dare you hit me!"
"You actually hit me for that bitch Liu Yuetang!"
She picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Fu Zhixing like a madman.
While smashing the ball, he said, "My father can't bear to say a harsh word to me! How dare you hit me?"
"Fu Zhixing, before we got married, you said you wouldn't let me suffer any injustice and would treat me well! But in just two short years, you've changed!"
The teacup shattered on the ground, and the scalding tea splashed all over Fu Zhixing.
Perhaps the feelings between them are like this tea, passionate and deep when they come, but shattered and difficult to repair when they are gone.
