Chapter 575: Making Fuxing Strange and Feeling a Little Confused
The next day, when Li Suining and others went to see Zi Yunlai again, they saw Cao Huaping was there too.
When Bai Yu'an saw Cao Huaping, his heart suddenly rose to his throat. He immediately thought of the poisoning and even forgot to pay his respects to Cao Huaping.
Cao Huaping didn't look like she was taking care of a patient. She was lying on the soft couch beside her, with her body tilted. On the small table in front of her were various fruits and snacks.
She glanced lazily at Bai Yu'an and Fuxing, "Why? Did you see me mute?"
"Greetings, Her Majesty!" Bai Yu'an and Fuxing immediately bowed their heads and greeted her.
"Okay, Ping'er, stop scaring them." Zi Yunlai said with a smile, looking in a good mood.
His condition was obviously getting worse day by day. He waved at Bai Yu'an and said, "Master, I'm sorry to bother you. You have to keep me in mind every day."
"Your Majesty the Emperor Chu is too polite." Bai Yu'an was a little confused about the situation. He subconsciously glanced at Fuxing, and then went over to take Ziyun's pulse.
Cao Huaping didn't look like an empress at all. While eating her fruit, she said sarcastically, "Aren't you tired of wearing that tattered hat all day long?"
Upon hearing this, Zi Yunlai immediately spoke up, "Yes, Imperial Master, High Priest, you don't have to wear all black when you come to my place, or even to Dongchu. Or, you can take off your hoods. It's so hot in Dongchu, and you must be very uncomfortable wearing hoods."
Bai Yu'an glanced at Fuxing again, and seeing that Fuxing had no intention of taking off his hood, he smiled and rejected the two's kindness, "Lord Chu, Her Majesty the Queen, we are already used to it. Now we are not used to it if you ask us to take off our hoods."
Cao Huaping glanced at Bai Yu'an, then looked at Fuxing, chuckled a few times, and said inexplicably, "The little girl does have some tricks."
Then, she asked Fuxing to sit down and said, "Why are you standing? You are the heroes of Dongchu."
"Yes, High Priest, please sit for a while." Zi Yunlai said again immediately. It was obvious that as long as Cao Huaping spoke, he would definitely agree with her.
Obviously, everyone realized the problem and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Soon, Cao Huaping snorted and said in a soft voice, "He can become the King of Chu just by imitating others. I think I can do the same."
"Yes, if my Ping'er really sits in this position, she will definitely do better than me." Zi Yunlai always had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Cao Huaping blushed a little, a rare occurrence. She stopped eating the fruit, got up from the couch, and walked to the bedside, saying in a coquettish tone, "You all saw it. The emperor also talks nonsense."
Her eyes were very beautiful, and when she looked closer, they looked even more like Fuxing. She stared at Bai Yu'an with sparkling eyes, "How is it? Are you dying?"
"Huh?" Bai Yu'an was distracted for a moment, and when he came to his senses and heard these words, he was even more dumbfounded.
"When will the Emperor of Chu die?" Cao Huaping repeated indifferently.
Bai Yu'an slowly turned his head and looked at Zi Yunlai beside him. He didn't know how to answer this question. He was even a little surprised by Cao Huaping's frankness.
"Okay, Ping'er, go out and see Tong'er and Princess Suining. It's good that the Imperial Master and the High Priest are here, so don't scare them." Zi Yunlai said with a doting look on his face.
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving." Cao Huaping stood up and walked out, muttering to herself as she walked, "Who asked me to come? Now you're kicking me out? Besides, I'm just curious when you're going to die, right?"
Bai Yu'an frowned, and suddenly he felt that his judgment might be wrong. Cao Huaping really didn't look like someone who would poison Zi Yunlai.
"My body..." As soon as Cao Huaping left, Zi Yunlai's whole condition suddenly collapsed.
Bai Yu'an said truthfully, "The longest is three to five months, the shortest is... one month."
Zi Yunlai was obviously stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Okay, very good, one month, a lot can be done in one month."
He looked towards the window and said, "One month is enough."
"But..." Bai Yu'an still remembered the poisoning incident. If Zi Yunlai hadn't solved this hidden danger, he might have died today. "What I said yesterday..."
"Don't worry." A smile appeared on Zi Yunlai's pale face. "The person who wants to poison me... is Ping'er, but..."
His smile widened, "She must have changed her mind."
"Is it really the Queen?" Bai Yu'an was a little surprised. Thinking back to what Cao Huaping had just said and done, he even admired this woman a little.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Fuxing behind him taking off her hood, revealing her beautiful face that was somewhat similar to Cao Huaping.
Zi Yunlai was obviously startled. He struggled to sit up and looked at Fuxing hard.
Fuxing twitched the corner of his mouth, "Lord Emperor Chu..."
Zi Yunlai was startled again, and stuttered as he spoke. He anxiously asked Bai Yu'an, "This...this high priest...can't speak?"
"Well..." Bai Yu'an didn't expect Fuxing to suddenly take off his hood and even speak. He explained awkwardly, "The high priest just doesn't want to talk, not that he can't."
Ziyun looked at Bai Yu'an, then at Fuxing, and felt an indescribable magic.
Finally, his gaze fell on Fuxing, "You... look so much like my Ping'er."
"To reply to Lord Emperor Chu, actually...Cao Huaping, also known as the Empress, she...should be my mother's twin sister." Fuxing said calmly.
"You...are Ping'er's niece?" Zi Yunlai's eyes lit up instantly, as if anything related to Cao Huaping could make her energetic. He immediately waved to Fuxing, "Come here, child, let me take a good look at you."
Fuxing was dumbfounded for a moment. She had no relatives since she was a child, and had never received love from her elders. Even her recognition with Cao Huaping last night was just a tit-for-tat between the two of them, but now... Ziyunlai's kind face made Fuxing feel a little unfamiliar and at a loss.
"Come on!" Zi Yunlai saw her standing still and waved again, "Come here, don't be afraid!"
Bai Yu'an hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and gently took Fuxing's hand, saying softly, "It's okay, he treats you as the Queen's relative, he has no other intentions."
Seeing that Fuxing did not resist, he gently pulled her to Ziyunlai.
Zi Yunlai took Fuxing's hand affectionately, and looked at Fuxing's eyebrows and eyes again and again, and couldn't help nodding repeatedly, "Are they alike? Really alike? They look even more alike from this close."
He asked Fuxing many questions like an ordinary elder, and Fuxing answered him woodenly, as if he was in a dream.
