Chapter 87: Hijacked at the Tomb
The question is, who dares to speak up and persuade?
Later, the ministers worked together to come up with a plan and proposed a selection of candidates in the court.
Because this is an activity that has been held in every dynasty, the emperor cannot refuse.
Xie Changsheng said calmly, "Since all the ministers agree, then I will grant your request."
One of the veteran officials stepped forward and said, "There have been many disasters in the north this year. We should focus on selecting women from the south. Moreover, women from the south are gentle and sophisticated, making them the best candidates for the harem."
Xie Changsheng still said calmly: "Permission granted!"
He acted as if nothing had happened in front of the ministers, but became busy when he returned to his bedroom.
Because Xie Changsheng was good at painting, he painted a portrait of a woman himself, but strangely, he did not draw her face.
But Chang Le could tell at a glance that it was Fu Danjun from his clothes, hairstyle, height and clothing.
"Give this portrait to the Ministry of Rites and tell them to choose accordingly."
Eunuch Chang was very happy because the emperor was willing to seriously choose his concubines.
As a result, not long after the portrait was sent out, Xie Changsheng asked for it back and added a human face.
Rather than a human face, it is more like Fu Danjun's face.
Overnight, the streets and alleys of Jiangnan were filled with rumors of the emperor's selection of a concubine.
The Fu family was not surprised at all when they heard this, nor were they interested.
But Fu Xiaoshan came back from the street and said, "There are many portraits on the wall outside, and they are exactly like Danjun."
The whole family became nervous in an instant. Could it be that Fu Danjun’s fake death was discovered?
Fu Danjun immediately comforted him: "If the emperor was sure that I was not dead, he would not have chosen a concubine, but would have turned Da Gan upside down and searched for me."
Everyone thought it made sense, but they still advised Fu Danjun to be cautious.
In front of his family, Fu Danjun pretended not to care about the tyrant, but when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he felt uncomfortable.
She knew Xie Changsheng, and once he fell in love, it would last a lifetime.
It is really cruel to fake my own death and add to his lifelong pain.
Seeing Fu Danjun dazed while eating and not sleeping at night, Lan Fang couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Miss, are you looking for a concubine?"
Fu Danjun blinked and looked at her: "I was thinking of sending you to the palace. After all, you are my personal maid. The emperor can get comfort from looking at you."
Lan Fang burst out laughing: "Miss, I am reluctant to do so. Stop teasing this servant."
After saying that, she quickly walked away to prevent anyone from making fun of her any further.
Fu Danjun didn't want to be teased by Lan Fang anymore, so he tried hard to look happy.
The next day she went out for a stroll as usual, and when she saw the portrait on the wall she laughed, "What a sick man!"
Lan Fang guessed that the young lady was pretending, so she couldn't be so calm in her heart.
Fu Danjun was happy when he returned home in the evening, but he dreamed about Xie Changsheng again at night.
It wasn't the first time she had dreamed of him, but this time it was particularly strange.
The place where the two met each other was actually a cemetery.
Xie Changsheng burst into tears and pointed at the grave and said, "I went in and looked for you several times, but it wasn't you. After all this trouble, you're still alive."
Fu Danjun quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no, you got the wrong person."
After saying that, she turned and ran away.
Xie Changsheng suddenly appeared in front, ran back and appeared behind again.
"Dan Jun, why is it empty inside? Tell me."
Xie Changsheng was everywhere, and Fu Danjun found that he could not escape.
"I don't know. I don't know anything."
Xie Changsheng smiled again: "Without me, you will be cold at night."
Fu Danjun didn't know what to say and stepped back.
Xie Changsheng held out his hand to her: "Live in the tomb with me, then you won't be cold."
After saying that, he came up and grabbed her.
Fu Danjun screamed desperately and suddenly sat up from the bed.
She gasped for a long time before she was sure it was a dream, and she couldn't help feeling strange and scared.
Because this dream was so real, it seemed like it really happened.
The next day, Fu Danjun went out instead of sightseeing, and went to the cemetery.
She didn't want to be laughed at by Lan Fang so she didn't bring her and came out alone.
When they arrived at the cemetery, Fu Danjun took a look and felt it was unnecessary.
There's a scarecrow inside and nothing valuable buried. What's there to see?
So, she left quickly.
Who knew that there was a guard personally sent by Xie Changsheng hiding nearby, and he found Fu Danjun very suspicious.
She dressed as a man and wore a human skin mask.
The guards understood who she was, but they didn't want to let her go easily.
Then a sack was put on Fu Danjun and he was carried back to the inn.
Fu Danjun was imprisoned in a sack and no one could help him even if he cried out to heaven or earth.
She was worried about encountering tomb robbers or robbers.
These people kill without blinking an eye, and they might die soon after a sharp strike of the knife.
Oh, it would be great if I could bring Lan Fang with me.
Lan Fang could also go home to report the news.
The guards discussed privately that matters involving Fu Danjun could not be decided privately and should be sent to the emperor.
So the next day, the guards threw the sack behind their horses and rode to Shangjing.
Fu Danjun had never endured such torture before. He struggled hard and made a whimpering sound.
Later she found that the more she struggled, the less people paid attention to her, so she just lay still and pretended to be dead.
This trick really worked, and the guards were afraid that she would suffocate to death.
So he stopped, threw the sack on the ground, and let Fu Danjun out to get some fresh air.
“Water, water…”
Fu Danjun lay on the ground screaming in pain. The guard untied the rope on her hands and threw the kettle to her.
Fu Danjun drank heartily from the kettle, and then saw the guard peeing with his back to the tree.
She quickly untied the ropes on her feet and ran away.
However, she was a weak woman after all, and was caught after running a few steps.
The guard didn't hit her, but threatened her with a whip: "If you run again, I'll break your legs, believe it or not?"
Fu Danjun could only try to be soft-hearted: "Brother, can you tell me where this is going? I want to know why I die."
The guard snorted and laughed: "I'm not asking you to die, I'm asking the emperor to interrogate you. Why are you running to Miss Fu's grave? Don't you know that Miss Fu is the emperor's favorite person?"
Fu Danjun was surprised after hearing this: "Oh, so that's how it is, but my purpose is very simple."
The guard said impatiently: "Go and tell the emperor if you are not a good person."
Fu Danjun deliberately deceived her: "That's fine, anyway, Miss Fu and I are friends, it's good to meet the emperor."
The guard chuckled and said, "In that case, let's get going."
Fu Danjun begged again: "Can you get me a carriage and don't tie me up..."
Before she could finish her words, the guards had already tied her up.
"Shall I get you a carriage? I'll just find you a nanny."
Fu Danjun cried out in pain, "I really can't stand it, big brother. My back is going to break."
Fortunately, it rained heavily on the way, and the guards had to take shelter in an inn.
The rain continued and Fu Danjun was trapped in the room.
She thought of running away again, because she was sent to Xie Changsheng and would definitely be recognized.
So, she kept asking for water and then she asked to pee.
The guards were tortured so hard that they couldn't stop. At night, Fu Danjun grabbed the fruit knife on the table and cut the ropes on his hands and feet.
The guards live outside.
She could only open the window and try to jump out.
As a result, when the window was opened and the wind blew, the window fan made a loud noise.
The guard suddenly woke up.
