"Yuzhu, how do you know?"
Zhao Fendie was shocked. She had never mentioned this idea to anyone before, but she did have this plan.
"I didn't know before, but now I know. Your expression tells me that this is the affirmative answer."
Jiang Yuzhu urged Zhao Fendie to drink tea and eat snacks, staring at her slightly empty dress and said, "You'll be staying at the manor for a while. Aunt Lanhua is best at making medicinal food to nourish you."
Zhao Fendie took a moment to react, then said helplessly, "Yuzhu, are you deceiving me again?"
“It works every time.”
Jiang Yuzhu pulled a chair closer to Zhao Fendie, and the two sisters sat side by side.
Being so close, Jiang Yuzhu could clearly see the bulging veins on the back of Zhao Fendie's hand and the direction of the blood vessels. She said distressedly, "Fendie, tell me, who bullied you?"
She was so thin that the maidservants around her didn't follow her to Su City. I'm afraid they couldn't serve her well.
After finishing a piece of dessert without any taste, Zhao Fendie smiled bitterly and said, "It has nothing to do with the maid. It's me..."
It's hard to say.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhao Fendie still couldn't say it.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't push her, and asked slowly, "Is it related to a man?"
Zhao Fendie has severed ties with the Zhao family and has little contact with them. Apart from Qiao Ying and Yu Jiaojiao, she has no other contacts.
I have no worries about food and clothing, and apart from being trapped in love, it seems that there is nothing particularly worrying.
"yes."
Zhao Fendie curled up the corners of her mouth, with a hint of bitterness remaining on her lips.
Jiang Yuzhu immediately understood and said firmly: "It must have nothing to do with Ji Chengyun. He is not worthy."
When it comes to Ji Chengyun, Zhao Fendie no longer has any resentment. It's like she's listening to someone unimportant, with no emotion in her eyes.
She was distracted for a long moment, then asked, "Yuzhu, do you remember the little black-faced guy we met when we went to the first floor to watch the opera? He also came to the hair growth shop."
When Jiang Yuzhu heard Xiao Hei Lian's words, she looked at Zhao Fendie with a tense expression: "You and he..."
Zhao Fendie bent her knuckles slightly, lowered her hands awkwardly, and said with difficulty, "Do you know his identity?"
"Yes, but not for long."
It’s someone’s fault, but it has to be the emperor. Zhao Fendie is so confused!
Jiang Yuzhu rubbed her brows and said, "Tell me, how far have you and the emperor progressed?"
"Skin-to-skin contact."
Zhao Fendie lowered her head as if she had made a mistake, revealing her delicate earrings with a melancholy look on her face.
Since the divorce, she no longer has the idea of marrying up, nor does she have the intention of getting married again.
"A few months ago, the capital was in chaos, and the Xuan family's minions took the opportunity to massacre the people. I was almost affected."
At that time, Zhao Fendie was separated from her two maids, so she had to run in one direction and happened to meet Xiao Heimian.
"He and I are old acquaintances. He asked if I would like to go with him. I figured he must have connections as a coal miner, so I agreed."
The situation is not good, leaving the city is a good option.
"The road was not peaceful, so he took me to the village and took good care of me."
At the beginning, the two of them strictly observed the etiquette, but as time went on, the little black-faced boy began to have evil thoughts.
"He said he had no wife, but he had several concubines, and he would send them away to marry someone else in the future."
The little black-faced boy was honest enough, and Zhao Fendie unconsciously compared him with Ji Chengyun, thinking that even if the two of them didn't get married, it would be nice to live like this.
Speaking of this, Zhao Fendie said angrily: "I was really deceived by this black-hearted guy!"
The emperor has no queen, and his harem is full of beauties.
There's nothing wrong with calling her a concubine.
"If he quells the rebellion and returns to the capital, he will continue to be the supreme ruler, above all others. What will become of me?"
It was unprecedented for her to be the emperor's concubine. She was once the wife of a minister and had an unclean identity, so she didn't even have the chance to enter the palace.
After Zhao Fendie learned of Xiao She's identity, she was angry at herself for being stupid and deceived, and she couldn't get over it.
"If I really have an heir, wouldn't I become a thorn in the eyes of the women in the harem?"
There was a thorny road ahead, and Zhao Fendie backed down. She was thinking long-term. Even if Xiao She was willing to take her into the palace, she had to refuse.
When she was in love, she would just listen to what the man said. When they were newly married, Ji Chengyun also listened to her every word.
"Besides, those tigers and wolves of the Zhao family might still be thinking of stealing the throne."
Zhao Fendie didn't leave on impulse, but after careful consideration. She covered her heart and said softly, "I'm still a little sad."
During this period of time, I only have Xiao Heimian around me, but my life is very peaceful.
If he were not the emperor, Zhao Fendie would even be willing to live a poor life with simple meals.
No matter how reluctant she was, Zhao Fendie always kept a clear head.
"Yuzhu, I can't afford to pay so much. It's fine if I don't have a name or status, but I have to compete with the women in the harem for you. Why bother?"
Xiao She begged Zhao Fendie to wait and let him handle everything.
Zhao Fendie agreed verbally and ran away decisively.
"Just treat it as a fleeting romance, but why does he have to be in such a position?"
Zhao Fendie chose to conceal it because of Xiao She's identity.
Now that she saw that Jiang Yuzhu didn't look shocked, nor did she accuse her of being unfaithful, Zhao Fendie felt much more relaxed.
Men change their minds at any time, and sisters are still the most reliable.
"I'm a daughter of the Zhao family. I've seen too much filth in the Zhao family. They'll do anything to cling to power and wealth, and fight for fame and fortune. I've finally managed to escape the quagmire, so how could I be willing to go back into it?"
The only thing Zhao Fendie was thankful for was that she had not spent much time with Xiao She and their feelings were not deep.
If it takes another year or two, I'm afraid I'll be seriously injured.
All the way to Sucheng, Zhao Fendie thought of him every day.
Jiang Yuzhu opened the curtain and went out, telling Hongli to go to the kitchen to bring soup, and then comforted her: "Fendie, no matter what decision you make, your sisters will support you."
Even if she sits on the throne of queen, she is trapped in the harem all day long and has no freedom.
The distance between Xiao She and Zhao Fendie is not just a difference in status and worldly perceptions, but also a chasm.
Xiao She is too tolerant and always puts the overall situation first. He only has the country of Da Qi in his eyes and is destined to let her down.
"Even though the emperor has concealed something, you haven't lost anything."
Jiang Yuzhu racked her brains for words and tried to comfort him, "You've already slept with the emperor. Does that make you feel better?"
Zhao Fendie confided her secrets to her best friend, tears welling up in her eyes. She was enduring the hardship when she was suddenly amused and said, "Yuzhu, I really feel much better after hearing what you said!"
Whether it was the little black-faced man or the emperor, they all tried to please her during sex.
Zhao Fendie took a sip of tea and suddenly felt less uncomfortable. She smiled and said, "Yuzhu, you are indeed the best at comforting people."
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
She doesn't want to either!
Between the emperor and her sisters, Jiang Yuzhu decisively chose to stand on the side of her sisters.
Zhao Fendie felt much more relaxed after blurting out her sad words and having an outlet to vent.
"If the emperor cares about me, he won't have an easy time either."
As a woman who makes the emperor embarrassed, Zhao Fendie feels that she has done nothing wrong.
Without any worries, Zhao Fendie's stomach rumbled. She drank two bowls of chicken soup brought from the kitchen, but still not satisfied, so she ate a few more buns.
Recalling what she heard Chen mutter on the road, Zhao Fendie mentioned, "Yuzhu, Master Xie is truly capable. Auntie is very pleased with him and praised him many times along the way."
