Chapter 180
"Thank you for telling me." Xiao Yue paused for a long time and forced a smile on his face.
…
"Thank you for telling me." Xiao Yue paused for a long time and forced a smile on his face.
She didn't know whether Fu Xunzhou would tell her about these past events. Probably, but he wouldn't go into such detail.
It’s not that I don’t want her to know, but I no longer care about it and I’m too lazy to tell her.
Fu Guihuang coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. The royal family has a weak bond. Fortunately, Xiaozhou has you now. I don't have to worry about you anymore. I can do what I want."
The topic suddenly changed, but Xiao Yue was still in his emotions.
Fu Guihuang sneered, "The second brother, that pig-head, really gave me a good opportunity. I heard that he cooperated with the person who harmed you? In the end, you two are not smart. Do you still want to be the crown prince and regent?"
Xiao Yue shed his previous emotions and thought to himself that this sentence seemed to contain too much information.
And calling the Second Prince a pig head is so vivid!
Fu Guihuang's beautiful face was full of disdain. Just as she was about to continue the conversation, her eyelids suddenly lifted.
"The boat is coming."
Xiao Yue looked back and saw Fu Xunzhou's figure. He was walking with big strides, even faster than when he left.
Her mood immediately dropped again, and she couldn't help but think of what she had just said.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Fu Guihuang said, "Let's talk next time. I'm leaving first. I'll leave this place to you."
Before Xiao Yue could react, she took the barbecue from the guard and strode away.
Fu Xunzhou frowned, but did not stop him. Instead, he turned his eyes to Xiao Yue with trepidation.
"Xiao Yue."
Xiao Yue didn't say anything.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you." Fu Xunzhou looked flustered and stepped forward and said, "I just..."
The next second, he was hugged by Xiao Yue.
"I know everything." Xiao Yue said in a muffled voice: "I don't blame you."
Fu Xunzhou paused, raised his hands and hugged her tightly in his arms. It was rare to see her like this, and his heart melted.
"I'm sorry, we shouldn't keep things secret from each other. I'll tell you everything you want to know about me now. Don't be angry, okay?"
Xiao Yue nodded, then shook her head, as if rubbing against his chest, and said, "No, my sister has told me everything. It would be difficult for me to tell the person I love about these things."
The one I love...
Fu Xunzhou's heart was pounding at first, and he could hardly hold back his joy, but he soon realized something was wrong and asked carefully, "What did she tell you?"
Xiao Yue calmed down, looked up into his eyes, and briefly summarized what he had heard.
But the more she spoke, the weirder Fu Xunzhou's expression became, to the point where he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"Xiao Yue..."
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Yue also reacted and realized that his expression was not right.
Sure enough, Fu Xunzhou hugged her tightly while organizing his words: "Just ask me what you want to know. I will not hide anything and will tell you everything, but it may be different from what she said..."
Any discrepancies?
What's the difference?
Looking at Xiao Yue's confused expression, Fu Xunzhou was silent for a moment before speaking.
"My mother and I are not close, and I will not leave the capital just because of her words. I want one thing, the tiger talisman that controls the military power. The price is that the tiger talisman cannot be returned to the capital, and I will never be able to return to the capital."
But Fu Xunzhou didn't take it seriously at all. He had no idea of seizing power before, but he became angry after this incident.
After killing the northern barbarians, he vigorously trained his own forces and led his troops back to prepare for the emperor to abdicate.
The emperor was shocked and frightened, so he asked several military generals to negotiate with him.
Fu Xunzhou remembered why his mother came to the mansion at that time, but he did not pay much attention to it.
It was not until the Second Prince's people poisoned the food and killed Fu Xunzhou's confidants that he fell into the trap. Only then did he become enraged and work tirelessly to destroy his family's power, and he suffered from anorexia as a result.
Because of this disease, Fu Xunzhou's personality did change drastically. Coupled with the inferior methods used by those people in the court, he was rumored to be a murderer in the capital.
Later, his mother died of illness, and the emperor knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that for her sake, he should not be killed and the throne could be handed over to him.
Fu Xunzhou suddenly felt bored, so he left the capital and came to a small city in the south to recuperate.
After all, his illness had tortured him so much that he couldn't even eat or drink, so how could he have the mood to sit in that seat?
Fu Xunzhou thought that he would probably become a tyrant, and Dachen, which was once a rich and powerful country, would never have peace again.
"…So I am not a pitiful person as Fu Guihuang said. If I didn't have the tiger talisman, why would the emperor be so afraid of me? The person my mother was thinking about before she died was not me, but the person she had fought for in the harem all her life. They all wished I was dead."
Fu Xunzhou said it so frankly, which was much better than the previous version told by Fu Guihuang with exaggerations.
People don't feel that he has suffered, but instead applaud his behavior of "if you are ruthless, I will not be merciful either."
Xiao Yue was speechless for a moment. Looking at Fu Xunzhou's uneasy eyes, she didn't know how to express her feelings.
Can……
Xiao Yue lowered her head, her ears turned red, and her voice was depressed: "It doesn't matter, it's all over, you have me from now on."
She knew that Fu Xunzhou had not been wronged, that Fu Xunzhou did not care about the family affection which was dispensable in the first place, that he was merciless to his enemies and would not let himself get stuck in the mud.
But you can't just look at one side of the matter. You should still feel sad.
Just like Fu Guihuang, although she concealed and distorted some facts, she also saw the other side. How could she not feel sorry for Fu Xunzhou?
Xiao Yue didn't want to hide it and wanted to express her heartache clearly.
This reaction was beyond Fu Xunzhou's expectations, but when he thought about who he knew her, he found it very reasonable.
He hugged Xiao Yue even more tenderly, as if he was afraid that the winter wind, bringing with it the fine snow, would cover and sweep her away.
But no, Xiao Yue is fire, she will melt the cold and move towards the spring flowers after winter.
Fu Xunzhou will follow closely.
——
4:04 PM.
Yueting’s New Year barbecue buffet ended early because there was a grand fireworks show on Linxiping tonight.
Xiao Yue and her sisters cleaned up the vacant space, from the outer circle to the inner circle, cleaning up one area at a time without leaving any oil stains on the ground.
By the time the last few tables were cleaned up, most of the customers in Linxiping had left.
Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard.
Xiao Yue looked back and saw a pretty girl in a white dress. She let out a "whoa" from a distance, dismounted from her horse and walked towards him with big strides.
The closer I got, the more obvious the emotion on her face became.
If Xiao Yue were to describe it, it would probably be the same as Duan Lin's despair when he found out he could no longer eat snail noodles a long time ago. In short - the sky is falling.
Could it be that we were too late for the New Year barbecue? But isn’t this too late?
Xiao Yue was thinking about it when he suddenly felt that the horse looked familiar. As he looked at it, he also felt that the girl looked familiar.
She was incredulous and asked tentatively: "...Xu Yin?"
The girl's eyes returned to her and she curled her lips and said, "I'm late. I can't have the barbecue buffet!"
No denying, it’s really Xu Yin!
Xiao Yue slapped his forehead. Although he had some guesses about the behavior of "a young man pretending to be an old man" at that time, he just thought that he was afraid of being robbed.
But the fact came true. The young man who helped her enter the city really grew up to be a beautiful girl!
Xiao Yue tried hard to match the image in his memory, and the more he thought about it, the more he laughed and cried.
"Forget it if you can't eat it." Xu Yin didn't care what she thought of him and handed her the horse rope: "Here, I brought your horse to you. As for the food you left at the post station... well, I ate it all while I was on the road. Don't mind it."
Xiao Yue quickly answered her: "Why would I mind? I've always wanted to thank you for helping me get into the city last time. After I came back, I asked people about your whereabouts but there was no news..."
Well, I guess they asked about that "young man", but what can they find out?
Xiao Yue and Xu Yin looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The laughter attracted the sisters around. When they heard that Xu Yin was the one who helped Xiao Yue before, they immediately gathered around.
When they learned that she had come to eat barbecue but now the stall was closed and she couldn't eat, everyone became anxious.
How can this be possible?
Not to mention that there are still a few tables that have not been cleared, even if they are cleaned up, they have to be set out for Xu Yin to have a good meal!
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Xiao Yue smiled and said, "There will be a fireworks party in the evening, and we will have another meal here. You can eat whatever you want, you are welcome!"
Xu Yin's eyes lit up, and she was taken to a barbecue by Su Xiaoxiao and others.
Xiao Yue ordered the puppet to take away the extra tables, chairs and benches, and then went to take care of Xu Yin.
As it gradually got dark, Linxiping became lively again, with more stalls selling festive trinkets.
Soon, Xiao Yue saw that people from the City Lord's Mansion had also arrived and began to set up fireworks in a relatively safe location.
She looked around, looking for the man who had returned home in the afternoon to take care of some business.
Soon Xiao Yue saw Fu Xunzhou, and with him were Fu Guihuang, Chi Yi, and Duan Lin.
When Xiao Yue saw Fu Guihuang, his previous memories came back.
Those words were definitely meant to make her feel distressed, so that she wouldn't be angry with Fu Xunzhou, have a conflict with him, or leave him.
Xiao Yue didn't have much thought about this. He could only say that everyone had a different perspective. And later, when he heard Fu Xunzhou talk about Fu Guihuang, he was shocked.
because--
"I gave her the tiger talisman before I left. The emperor's declining health was caused by her. She can torture people much more than I can."
Xiao Yue's jaw almost dropped at that time.
This means that Fu Guihuang wants to seize the throne himself!
The tiger talisman was in her hand, which meant that the pig-headed Second Prince had been doing useless work and had no idea that Fu Guihuang was playing him around.
This, this, this is so cool!
Not only did Xiao Yue not feel any emotion about what she said before, he even admired someone so easily.
What's wrong with a woman taking the throne?
We are born from the same parents, so why can't it work?
When that day really comes, Xiao Yue will be even more impressed!
But speaking of it...the day before she learned about these things, she still didn't want to be involved with the Dachen royal family.
As a result, now, the prince is Xiao Yue's favorite person, and the princess is also someone she deeply admires.
Especially at this moment, Fu Guihuang walked towards Xiao Yue.
Xiao Yue came back to her senses, with a genuine smile on her face: "Sister, you're here!"
Fu Guihuang blinked and took her hand: "It's been a long time since I last watched fireworks. Would you like to accompany me tonight?"
"OK!"
The two men left.
Fu Xunzhou on the side: "......?"
What about me?
