Chapter 56: The Tyrant Falls to Earth
Cui had already taken the initiative to walk out: "I'll go ask Dan Jun."
Fu Danjun felt better after taking the medicine, and Lan Fang brought her some bird's nest porridge.
Cui came in hurriedly and asked directly: "Sister, are you in contact with the emperor?"
Fu Danjun was stunned, and Lan Fang was also dumbfounded.
Cui Shi hurriedly added: "Your brother went to the Marquis' Mansion this afternoon and heard some inside information."
Fu Danjun had calmed down and said with a smile, "How can the Marquis' Mansion say anything good about me? It's like they're throwing dirty water on my head. I used to live a well-behaved life. It was Lu Yu who had Lanxiang drug me and send me to the emperor's bed in order to get promoted and make money. Now he's denying it."
Cui was once again stunned: "Is this really the case? This Lu Yu is such a scoundrel."
Lan Fang sighed, "Young Madam, aren't you curious about where Lan Xiang went?"
Cui Wanjun quickly said, "Yes, she is your dowry maid."
Lan Fang smiled bitterly and said, "She drugged the young lady and made great contributions, becoming the Marquis's concubine."
Cui Wanjun angrily cursed Lan Fang, then came over and shook Fu Danjun's hand, saying tearfully, "Sister, you've suffered so much, and it's hateful that the Lu family slandered you."
Wanyan Qi hesitated for a long time, and finally wrote a letter to Fu Danjun instead of visiting him in person.
The letter mainly talked about two things. One was that the emperor agreed to grant the marriage, and the other was that she knew that Dieyue had assassinated her and wanted to execute Dieyue.
In addition, he asked about the relationship between her and the emperor, and said that no matter what, he didn't care at all, and people in the northern border have always been very open.
After receiving the letter, Fu Danjun knew that he could no longer hide the matter between him and the emperor.
Dieyue told everything, but she was forced by the emperor, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.
So, she wrote everything clearly in her reply.
She also pleaded for Dieyue, saying that as long as she admitted her mistakes and corrected them, she didn't have to lose her life.
After receiving the reply, Wanyan Qi not only believed it all to be true, but was also moved by Fu Danjun's forgiveness of Dieyue.
It was noon again, and Yuan went into the kitchen to cook.
Everyone was preparing to have a happy dinner together again. Jin Zhao liked Fu Xiao, who was three months old, very much, but he didn't dare to get close to her.
Cui Wanjun took the initiative to call him over and gave him the child.
Yuan was terrified, fearing that the baby would be dropped, but Jin Zhao was extremely careful.
Fu Danjun saw this and smiled, "Xiaoxiao is so lucky to have a little brother who loves her so much. You two will grow up together in the future."
Cui Wanjun had heard that Yuan's mother and son would follow her back to Jiangnan, and she was very willing to do so.
All the dishes were served, but Fu Xiaoshan was nowhere to be seen.
Yuan was the first to ask, "What is Master Fu busy with?"
Cui Wanjun smiled and sighed: "He is upset because he wronged Danjun."
Fu Danjun suddenly realized and immediately stood up and called him brother.
Fu Xiaoshan was sharpening a knife in the yard, his face full of hatred.
But when he saw Fu Danjun coming, he smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just ask Lan Fang to pass on the message. Why bother running errands yourself?"
Fu Danjun grabbed the knife and threw it to the ground, then pulled him away and said, "Everyone is waiting for you to eat."
Fu Xiaoshan, however, had no appetite: "Now I just want to sharpen my knife so I can fight Lu Yu."
Everyone was having a great time at the dining table in the pavilion.
Fu Xiaoshan praised Yuan's cooking, and Cui Wanjun quickly said that she wanted to learn the cooking skills from Sister Yuan.
Xu Yu’s favorite dish is Baiyun pork knuckle, and he ate almost half of the plate by himself.
Fu Xiaoshan had drunk too much and was talking about his life in the Marquis' Mansion.
A man covered with white gauze and wearing a moon-white gown flew down from the roof to the bottom of the pavilion.
Lan Fang saw it first, screamed and covered her mouth.
Fu Danjun was stunned as he looked at Xie Changsheng who appeared out of nowhere.
The other people also saw it, but pretended not to see it.
Because they were all smart, they knew that the emperor didn't want to be recognized at this time, and running up to him and making a fuss would only make him unhappy.
Fu Danjun saw that the problem could not be solved unless he stepped in.
"You guys eat slowly, I'll go take a look."
Lan Fang wanted to follow, but was rejected by Fu Danjun.
At first, Xie Changsheng didn't know what these people were doing in the pavilion. After standing there for a while, he realized that they were having a meal, and the aroma of food was wafting in the air, so he wanted to come over and join them.
Before he could even leave, Fu Danjun ran over and pulled him up: "You really know how to pick the right time. Let's go."
Xie Changsheng deliberately raised his eyebrows and joked: "Are you in such a hurry? Can't you wait until tonight?"
Fu Danjun's face flushed with anxiety: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out."
Xie Changsheng became increasingly uncooperative, crossing his arms and frowning: "What are you so anxious about? Am I incompetent, or am I too embarrassed to show it to others?"
Fu Danjun smiled helplessly: "You are not a human, you are the Son of Heaven."
Xie Changsheng's stubborn temper came up, and he hugged Fu Danjun and wanted to be intimate with him on the spot.
Fu Danjun pushed him away forcefully and ran quickly to his own yard.
Xie Changsheng followed and, seeing no one around, he forcibly pushed Fu Danjun onto the bed: "Hurry up, don't make me unhappy."
Fu Danjun pushed him away again: "I already have an engagement, has the emperor forgotten?"
Xie Changsheng paused and asked, "You sound resentful. Are you blaming me for granting you the marriage?"
Fu Danjun quickly laughed and said, "How could that be? I'm so happy. Wanyan Jun is a wonderful man. For a divorced woman like me, being able to live with him is the best fate for me."
Xie Changsheng nodded: "Excellent, I have decided to personally read out the Holy Decree of Marriage in front of your family."
Fu Danjun was suddenly stunned: "What? This..."
She had originally planned to escape with her life, so she didn't need to tell her family about the marriage. But when Xie Changsheng read the imperial edict, wouldn't that make the matter public? Wouldn't that cause chaos in the world?
Even if I try to escape, I won't get any support, after all, I am deceiving others with my own eyes.
So, she was anxious and angry, shaking all over: "You...you..."
Seeing that her sharp tongue was finally subdued, Xie Changsheng said: "I am so happy."
Xie Changsheng, like a child who had succeeded in a prank, his eyes sparkled: "I'll go and announce it right away!"
He couldn't wait any longer and turned around and walked out.
Fu Danjun quickly stopped him, smiling gently: "Your Majesty, please go later."
Xie Changsheng hooked his finger under her chin: "You want to use softness to overcome hardness, so you need to stabilize me first, right?"
How could Fu Danjun admit this? He quickly said with a smile, "I'm about to go to the northern border, and I want to spend some time with the emperor before I leave."
Xie Changsheng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "No need, I'm tired of it."
Everyone in the pavilion was on edge, living under the same roof with the emperor. Who knew what would happen next?
Fu Xiaoshan was in a complicated mood. He didn't want his sister to be entangled with the emperor, but he had no way to intervene.
I saw the two of them pulling each other away, and then they came out pulling each other again after a while.
Fu Danjun tried his best to stop Xie Changsheng, but the more he tried to stop him, the more excited Xie Changsheng became: "Fu Danjun, accept the order!"
Under the pavilion, he spoke in a neither loud nor low voice.
