Chapter 2053 [Shangxie]
When Xia Fuyi stopped practicing sword, she was already sweating profusely and her legs were so weak that she could hardly stand.
She took the hot tea handed to her by the palace maid while panting, but when she tilted her head back to drink it, she felt that the taste was not very good. When she thought of this, she was slightly stunned and seemed a little confused.
Xia Fuyi is not a picky person. Besides, she rarely drank tea before entering the palace. Most of the time, she drank wine or plain water to quench her thirst. But since entering the palace, she rarely drank plain water. The tea she drank these days was almost always brewed by the same person.
She probably... is used to drinking it, so she thinks other people's tea doesn't taste good.
Xia Fuyi put down the teacup, turned around and walked towards the main hall holding the sword. However, after a few steps, she couldn't help but turn around and ask the palace maid behind her,
"Where did Fuyan go?"
The palace maid was stunned for a moment before answering,
"I heard that the Emperor ordered her to be transferred back to her original position."
Xia Fuyi nodded, turned around and continued walking.
She quickly put this matter behind her. She was not a saint and never forgave those who hurt her. Her inquiry was just based on the fate of the name "Fuyan".
She thought the matter concerning "Fu Yan" would end here, but she did not expect to see this person again that night - following a person with suspicious movements and a familiar back.
Xia Fuyi had originally been out for a walk, when she saw a man who was obviously skilled in martial arts hurrying past on the path. She wanted to ignore him, but suddenly she remembered that Changsun Chi was also in the palace, so she followed him all the way, and finally ended up in a completely unexpected place - the Palace Maids' Hall.
Xia Fuyi hid behind the bushes and watched quietly as the man dressed as a eunuch quietly entered the room and came out carrying someone a moment later.
Xia Fuyi, who was originally wondering where she had seen this person before, suddenly narrowed her pupils - that was "Fuyan".
She licked her lips and suddenly felt a little hesitant.
But the man moved very quickly, and when he was about to disappear from sight, Xia Fuyi got up and followed him.
He stopped in the courtyard of a remote palace. The person on his shoulder was thrown to the ground without mercy, and Fu Yan woke up from her coma.
She looked up and saw only the vague and cold outline of the man in front of her in the darkness. She screamed in fear but only a weak whimper came out. She didn't know what medicine she had been fed, but it became difficult for her to even open her mouth.
The man dressed as a father-in-law curled his lips indifferently in the dark, raised his hand and pinched her neck, completing the task nonchalantly without saying a word, as if he was just pinching a blade of grass, and his posture seemed a bit lazy.
Just as Fu Yan closed her eyes in despair and pain, and the man was about to exert force, a stone shot down from above and hit his wrist. The huge burst of force made him let go of his hand, and Fu Yan fell to the ground with a thud, coughing hoarsely.
The wound caused by the stone began to bleed, and the wrist began to swell in a very short time.
The man slowly turned around and saw a girl in white standing under the wall with a sword in her hand. Her messy skirt showed that she had just climbed in from outside.
The man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said after a moment,
"What are you doing? The Sect Master wants me to kill her because he feels sorry for you."
Xia Fuyi had no expression on her face, and her words were concise but extremely firm.
"no."
Seeing the man's face at this moment, although blurry, made her sure where the previous sense of familiarity came from.
This is Changsun Qingzhao’s personal bodyguard in Tianji Gate, named Xiangyang.
