Chapter 62: Imprisonment for Half a Month
Lu Yu had never suffered such hardship before, but fortunately, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple sent someone to greet Sun Qingli for the sake of his daughter Yuan.
Sun Qingli was very angry, but he couldn't get Lu Yu to confess because he couldn't get the evidence.
Finally, he made up his mind and decided to detain him for half a month.
In the morning court, Xie Changsheng found that Lu Yu was not there: "Why is Marquis Guanyang not here?
Sun Qingli came forward and reported: "Your Majesty, Guanyang Marquis Lu Yu has been detained on suspicion of theft."
For a moment, all the ministers were surprised. Xie Changsheng frowned and said: "Theft"
Sun Qingli continued, "Marquis of Guanyang, Lu Yu, broke into his ex-wife, Fu's, boudoir at night, attempting to steal, but was apprehended by the servants."
Xie Changsheng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and took the opportunity to criticize his ministers.
"My officials are great! They are all honest. Some are so poor that they resort to stealing."
The ministers held their breath and dared not move.
Although Emperor Xie Changsheng was criticized for his various quirks and faults, he never let corrupt officials off the hook and would kill them one by one.
Sun Qingli added: "Since we don't have any evidence of the stolen goods, we can only detain him temporarily."
Xie Changsheng responded: "Well, continue to hold it."
At night, Lu Yu woke up hungry on his broken straw bed.
Then he noticed a man wearing black clothes and a black hat sitting next to him, staring at him intently.
Lu Yu calmed down and recognized that it was Xie Changsheng.
Before he could speak, Xie Changsheng warned him: "Stop getting so excited and annoying."
After saying that, he took out a bag of broad beans from somewhere and started eating them with relish.
Seeing him eating so happily, Lu Yu couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "Can you give me two?"
Xie Changsheng ignored him and continued eating. He asked, "What kind of person is she? Tell me what you think."
Lu Yu was surprised and guessed that he was asking Fu Danjun.
But how should I respond? Should I say something good or something bad?
Then an idea struck him: "Of course she is a good person, otherwise I would not have presented her to the emperor."
Xie Changsheng remained calm for a moment, then asked, "Tell me about the interesting things that happened between you. You must have had some happy memories. Tell me about them."
Lu Yu suddenly realized that Xie Changsheng was missing Fu Danjun.
He hoped that by mentioning her, he could feel a little bit of Fu Danjun's presence.
The problem is, Lu Yu really can't think of any happy memories with Fu Danjun.
After they got married, they were separated and there was no love between them.
Seeing him hesitant and hesitant, Xie Changsheng became angry and said, "If you don't explain, I'll sentence you to death tomorrow!"
Lu Yu was so anxious that he kowtowed and argued: "I am not a thief, I didn't steal. Okay, I'll tell you!"
Next, he started making up a story.
On the other side, Fu Danjun was on his way to northern Xinjiang.
Wanyan Qi treated her very well, and even when she didn't want to ride in a sedan chair and insisted on riding a horse, he agreed to her request.
She no longer wore the bright red wedding gown or the red veil.
Along the way, she didn’t look like a newlywed, but more like a tourist enjoying the scenery.
Wanyan Qiquan had no objection, and even agreed if Fu Danjun wanted to delay time and walk for one day and stop for two days.
Dieyue noticed that something was wrong with Fu Danjun and secretly reminded Wanyan Qi.
As a result, Wanyan Qi slapped her and drove her away, saying that he never wanted to see her again.
Dieyue left crying, and no one knew where she went.
One day they arrived at a town and found it prosperous and bustling.
The food stalls on the street made Fu Danjun unable to walk and he insisted on staying.
Wanyan Qi asked everyone to stop and rest, and he accompanied Fu Danjun to go shopping and eat.
Since Fu Danjun is from the south of the Yangtze River, he has little experience with northern delicacies and fruits, so he wants to try everything he sees that he has never eaten before.
Wanyan Qi also ate with them, and the two of them got along very happily.
"If you like sweet and sour fruits, then you must like our northern Xinjiang black water pears. Eat as much as you want when the time comes."
Fu Danjun had never heard of this fruit, but he felt it must be delicious.
Wanyan Qi liked her even more when he saw her bright eyes, like a little girl who had not yet grown out of her childishness.
Fu Danjun was tired of walking around, but he was still trying to delay time: "I heard the scenery around here is nice, can we go for a walk?"
The next day, Fu Danjun came up with this idea, and Wanyan Qi agreed without thinking.
"I told you, you can do whatever you want, even if you have to stay here for half a year, I agree."
Fu Danjun looked at him in surprise and thought that this man was really nice!
Wouldn’t it be great if I could marry him?
So she hesitated, still undecided whether to escape or not.
The scenery in the wild is indeed beautiful, with green mountains and rivers that are so clear that you can drink them directly.
Wanyan Qi hunted pheasants and rabbits, caught fish from the river, and roasted them over a fire.
Fu Danjun thought catching fish was fun, so he ran to the river, rolled up his pants and went into the river.
As a result, he didn't catch any fish, but his feet stepped into the swamp and he sank down.
"Help! Wanyan Jun, save me! My husband, save me!"
She was afraid that the other party would not save her, so she said whatever nice things she wanted. Wanyan Qi heard the cry for help and ran over, and without saying a word, he went into the river to save Fu Danjun.
Relying on his strong body, he pulled Fu Danjun out of the swamp mud and carried him to the shore.
Fu Danjun was terrified, and looking at Wanyan Qi, who was covered in mud, he felt guilty: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so arrogant."
Wanyan Qi smiled nonchalantly: "It's no big deal. It's my fault for not finding you in time."
After hearing this, Fu Danjun couldn't help but compare him with Xie Changsheng.
If it were Xie Changsheng, he would definitely scold himself, or watch himself struggling in the river and enjoy his miserable state.
So, she wavered again.
I might as well marry Wanyan Qi and live the rest of my life happily together.
But this thought disappeared in an instant, and I didn't know what I was still worried about.
Wanyan Qi washed his feet in the river, then brought Fu Danjun over to wash his feet, and then took him to the campfire to warm himself.
"Go back and take a nice hot bath, or you'll get sick."
After the pheasant and hare meat was roasted, Wanyan Qixian gave it to Fu Danjun and said, "We people in northern Xinjiang are the best hunters. I'll take you to hunt roe deer in the future. The roasted meat is so delicious."
Fu Danjun smiled and nodded, but his heart suddenly became clear.
I don't want to marry him because our lifestyles and interests are different.
Although Wanyan Qi is a good man, he is very old-fashioned.
He seems to have no other hobbies except horse riding and hunting, while Fu Danjun is very fond of playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, shopping, watching plays and doing business.
When they returned to the inn at night, Wanyan Qi personally prepared a hot bath for her.
Then he carried her to bed and lay down beside her.
Fu Danjun saw that he wanted to get close to her, so she immediately resisted and made an excuse: "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today."
Wanyan Qi was stunned for a moment. Although he was a little disappointed, he also understood: "Okay, another time."
Afterwards, Wanyan Qi closed his eyes and fell asleep, but Fu Danjun couldn't sleep, his mind full of ways to escape.
She suddenly regretted not bringing Lan Fang with her, because after taking the fake death drug, someone had to deal with her body!
Now that I'm alone, I really can't do anything.
If the fake death drug doesn't work, you have to think of other ways.
Later, when she was shopping, her purse was stolen by a thief.
