Fu Zhonghai forcibly stripped Zhan Yunfu naked. Just when Zhan Yunfu thought he was going to do something, Fu Zhonghai stopped.
He asked Zhan Yunfu to stand where she was and walked around her, making sure that she had no bruises or scars on her body. Only then did his expression relax a little.
"There's water next door, go change and wash yourself."
Zhan Yunfu glared at him, then ran to the bathroom next door with shame and anger...
When Zhan Yunfu came out of the bathroom wearing clean clothes and with wet hair, Fu Zhonghai had returned to normal.
He picked up the hair dryer cap next to him and waved at Zhan Yunfu.
Zhan Yunfu stared at the thing in his hand in amazement: She also has this thing, given to her by Xiao Yingchun, and it really absorbs water quickly after washing your hair.
But hers is pink and white, and this bluish-gray one is for his own use, right?
"I can do it myself..."
Fu Zhonghai glared at her.
Zhan Yunfu put her hands down and sat still.
Fu Zhonghai wrapped Zhan Yunfu's hair with a dry hair cap and began to pinch her bones.
"Does it hurt here?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"Here?"
"It doesn't hurt at all. He didn't torture me. The food and drink were all of the best quality..."
Zhan Yunfu couldn't help but explain, but Fu Zhonghai didn't listen at all. He just touched all the bones and joints, then pulled Zhan Yunfu to sit on his lap and hugged her tightly.
With her back pressed against the solid and warm chest and her whole body being held, Zhan Yunfu's body stiffened for a moment, but in the end she couldn't help but soften her heart.
He is worried about himself.
Zhan Yunfu explained weakly: "I'm fine."
Fu Zhonghai rested his big head on Zhan Yunfu's shoulder, neither moving nor speaking.
Zhan Yunfu raised her hand with difficulty to touch his face.
The heating in the room was too hot, and his face was slightly sweaty. He had some stubble, which felt rough and damp...
Fu Zhonghai's grip loosened slightly, and then he said in a muffled voice: "I heard that you didn't come back, and only Chun'er was rescued. I wanted to throw him back."
"You can call me cold-blooded or selfish, but in my heart, no one is more important than you..."
Zhan Yunfu opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Fu Zhonghai hugged her for a while, and both of them were sweating.
Sensing the changes in Fu Zhonghai's body, Zhan Yunfu was worried and took the initiative to change the subject: "Why did you let someone make me bloody?"
When it comes to this, Fu Zhonghai becomes excited: "Want to know?"
Zhan Yunfu nodded.
"Come with me..."
Fu Zhonghai and Zhan Yunfu disguised themselves and went out to the largest teahouse in Sanhe County.
The teahouse is crowded at this moment.
Fu Zhonghai led Zhan Yunfu to the private room upstairs that had been reserved earlier.
The tea and snacks were served. Zhan Yunfu took a sip and asked in surprise: "Huangshan Maofeng?"
"This tea has been sold to Sanhe County?"
Fu Zhonghai nodded proudly: "Nowadays, only the aristocratic families and the wealthy can afford such good tea. In this teahouse, a pot of Huangshan Maofeng costs ten taels of silver..."
Zhan Yunfu: ...
While drinking tea and eating snacks, Zhan Yunfu soon found out why Fu Zhonghai brought her here.
Because the storyteller started telling the "Legend of Cang Fu".
Today, we talked about Cang Yan raising troops to march into the capital. Most of the aristocratic families fled, but Han Fu insisted on staying in the capital, and took advantage of everyone's escape to buy up shops and real estate...
There were people in Sanhe County who had escaped from the capital. They were all eyewitnesses of what happened back then. They all had mixed feelings as they watched the storyteller shaking his head as he spoke.
At first, everyone was afraid that the tug-of-war would result in their losing their lives, so they all just wanted to escape.
Who could have imagined that the capital city would change completely in just a few days?
The situation changed so quickly that not many people were killed or injured.
Who could have imagined that housing and land prices in Beijing have more than doubled?
The house that was sold for 1,000 taels of silver can’t be bought back even with 3,000 taels of silver…
I feel heartbroken with regret, but what can I do?
Thinking of the past, everyone began to admire (envy and envy) Old Madam Zhan of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
She is already old, how did she capture the emperor's heart?
The people in the private room next door began to chirp quietly.
However, the sound insulation was too poor, and Zhan Yunfu could hear it clearly.
"She was not afraid of the approaching troops and even dared to buy up shops and properties..."
"If it were me, I wouldn't be afraid either! That guy has always cared about her, and now... the backyard is empty..."
The sound of doors opening and closing was heard next door, and someone came in from outside, immediately bringing the latest big news.
"Everyone, you don't know what happened today? Madam Zhan was seriously injured and captured a few days ago in order to save His Majesty. Today, His Majesty sent someone to rescue her. She was... in."
Everyone was shocked!
"Is this true?"
"How could I lie about something like this? So many people saw it with their own eyes..."
Zhan Yunfu and Fu Zhonghai looked at each other in bewilderment as they listened to what was happening next door.
Facing Fu Zhonghai's slightly smug expression, Zhan Yunfu frowned and criticized him in a low voice.
"If you let people spread this, how can I face people after I return to Beijing?"
Fu Zhonghai pulled her hand and said, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything..."
Zhan Yunfu was confused for a moment: How is it arranged?
Fu Zhonghai didn't say anything else.
Soon, Fu Zhonghai brought Zhan Yunfu back to Beijing.
Zhan Yunfu was still seriously injured and was supported by Mrs. Wu into the mansion with a pale face.
The mansion immediately closed its doors and declined all visits.
Emperor Tianwu gave him a steady supply of good medicine. Doctors Meng and Niu, who were the most trusted by His Majesty, stayed at Ningyuan Marquis's mansion day and night just to take care of Zhan Yunfu's injuries...
In the yard next to Zhan Yunfu, two doctors who worked "day and night" were drinking tea and eating snacks, feeling worried.
Doctor Niu: "Old Meng, when can we go out and walk freely?"
It is very hard to keep watch over the “patients” like this every day and not let them go out for a walk.
Doctor Meng: "Wait a little longer, until His Majesty makes Madam Zhan better..."
Civil and military officials secretly made various appointments for dinner, drinking and tea.
"Your Majesty is determined to fight the old lady, what should we do?"
Is it advice?
Or acquiescence?
Or actively encourage and support?
As an emperor, he doesn't like so many beautiful daughters of noble families, but he can't let go of an old lady who is a few years older than him?
Many people don’t understand: No matter how good the white moonlight was in the past, hasn’t it gotten old?
The one who advised the emperor bowed his head first and said, "My dear colleagues, I have something else to do at home. When you have a result, please inform me. I will take my leave."
Lessons from the past: those who advised against it before were exiled to farm, and those who didn’t want to farm have learned to shut up.
Still advising?
Do you think your family has been rich for too long? Do you want to farm?
After one left, the rest looked at each other and then dispersed.
The persuasion and admonition came to nothing, and the rest were wavering between "playing blind" and "flattering".
Before all civil and military officials could reach a consensus, some took the initiative to submit memorials in response to the situation.
In the Jinluan Palace, the head of the Ministry of Personnel reported: "Madam Zhan served the country and the people with unparalleled bravery. She saved His Majesty and the Marquis of Ningyuan, and was seriously injured as a result..."
"Madam Zhan is loyal to the emperor and loves the country. Your Majesty should appoint her as a female official and put her in charge of the emperor's personal guards..."
Let her live in the palace. Although she is not the queen, she is the only female official who can walk around in the palace. No one can stop her from doing anything she wants... Isn't this the greatest loyalty to His Majesty?
Everyone looked up at Emperor Tianwu.
Emperor Tianwu said calmly: "Madam Zhan is still seriously injured, it's too early to say these things..."
Everyone: ...
Your Majesty doesn't like this arrangement?
So what kind of proposal does Your Majesty like? (End of this chapter)
