Chapter 158 What don’t you like? Me?
Even if the guard was not smart enough, he could now understand the hidden meaning.
Suddenly I didn't even dare to breathe.
There was silence for a moment.
"Do you know that sometimes you don't need any evidence to convict someone?" Fu Yi asked softly.
"I know. The prince taught me before." Cheng Nianying whispered softly, "But the Cen family is different. They can't be easily dealt with by such means, right?"
"Yes." Fu Yi responded.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Just when Cheng Nianying was wondering if he was mad at her, Fu Yi stood up and approached: "...So we need to plan early."
Cheng Nianying frowned slightly.
"It was long before the Queen tried to match me with the Cen family's daughter."
"Long before you entered the Prince's Mansion."
Fu Yi said in her ear.
"You are so smart, you should have figured out that I am not lying to you now." Fu Yi's tone was not sarcastic or contemptuous, but rather had a strange tenderness.
He went on:
"The fact that Weiyang had frequent dealings with the powerful and influential in the Imperial Capital was reported to the Emperor long ago by a certain Magistrate Li. Not long afterward, Magistrate Li went insane. It was said that he was old and frail, and one day, he was frightened by the shadows of trees under the moonlight, and lost his mind. Such an absurd result naturally displeased the Emperor."
He didn't mind telling this to Cheng Nianying at all.
"The Empress is the Emperor's first wife, bearing two sons and two daughters. Her virtue, appearance, speech, and achievements are impeccable. The Cen family has also served as his successor, a fact known to the entire world. To set an example of external relatives not interfering in government affairs, they are willing to remain in the Weiyang area. It will be a difficult matter for the Emperor to deal with them."
Then what?
It was tricky, so what did he do?
Cheng Nianying's brows furrowed even more, and she felt that Fu Yi really didn't care that much about those letters...
"I come from a good family. And precisely because of that, even though I hold an official title, most of my subordinates flatter me, but no one wants me to do anything practical..."
"I was feeling depressed at the time, and I mentioned it to a friend at a banquet, but unfortunately, Prince Danshuo heard it..."
"He told me that it would be better if no one knew who I was."
"So after that, I discussed it with my family and temporarily changed my surname to my mother's. This way, the local officials wouldn't be able to tell where I came from."
Cheng Nianying's mind quickly flashed back to the words Yin Heng had said to her on the road.
He mentioned Fu Yi more than once.
At that time, she wondered why Fu Yi was everywhere.
Cheng Nianying licked her lips unconsciously, her heart beating faster: "...Yin Heng."
"You took advantage of Yin Heng."
Fu Yi did not deny it. He asked seriously, "What do you want to exchange the contents of those letters for? Freedom? Didn't I give it to you?"
Cheng Nianying lowered her head and hid her hands in her sleeves.
She said, "I don't like it."
The room suddenly became quiet again.
After a while.
"What don't you like? Me?" Fu Yi's voice changed slightly.
Cheng Nianying didn't notice that his finger bones were already clenched.
She actually nodded and added: "Everything I get from the prince is conditional, and I don't like it. It's like..." She was still constrained in every way before leaving the building.
She didn't finish her words.
“What in the world is unconditional?”
Fu Yi continued, "Even parental love has conditions."
"You have also met Princess Kang. If I want her to show me any genuine concern, I have to kneel down at her door to beg for it."
"Prince Kang was kind and gentle to me because I was highly valued by the Emperor that year."
"The emperor's appreciation of me was conditional. I became a monk at the age of ten and debated with the emperor for three years before he appointed me."
He said, “What in the world is unconditional?”
Cheng Nianying was slightly absent-minded, and was really stumped by the question.
"I just thought what you said today was a joke. Don't mention it again." Fu Yi smiled, but it disappeared in an instant. Then he stood up, not wanting to talk to Cheng Nianying anymore.
The guards lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads, and hurriedly escorted Fu Yi out.
When they reached the door, Fu Yi suddenly turned around and emphasized, "Yin Heng chose the Weiyang Road himself. I didn't force him to do that."
Cheng Nianying slowly put the hairpin hidden in her sleeve back into her purse.
She lay there with her chin in her hands, not touching the rest of the meal.
Only after Fu Yi left the room did his expression completely turn cold.
"Prince, Miss Cen is here to visit."
"Let her in."
When Cen Yaoxin entered the room, she saw that Fu Yi's face was still cold and pale, with veins on his neck slightly bulging, as if he was enduring some kind of pain.
"Why isn't the prince getting better yet?"
Fu Yi fixed his gaze on her, rarely staying longer than usual.
Seeing this, Cen Yao couldn't help but clench her palms, her back felt slightly hot, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Why is the prince looking at me like this?"
Fu Yi raised his hand and pressed his forehead: "My mind is still confused and I am unconsciously in a trance."
Cen Yaoxin waved and had the food box placed next to Fu Yi: "I asked the doctor, the prince can use some Chuanxiong Baizhi fish soup."
She felt that Cheng Nianying had been eliminated, and now that Fu Yi was ill, it was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation. If she didn't ask about his well-being now, when would she wait?
Fu Yi said calmly, "Thank you."
Cen Yaoxin is also a beauty.
But Fu Yi's heart was like a dark, stagnant pool, without even a ripple.
However, the look on "Xiao He"'s face when he saw that the exchange was fruitless, but he was not afraid, but instead thought seriously about it, was still firmly imprinted in his mind.
Just thinking about it makes me feel itchy.
She won't give up...
She didn't like the way he looked...
I should have asked her just now who had told Fu Ruiming that he was a good man and that she thought he was a great person...
"Prince."
"Prince?"
Cen Yaoxin spoke with doubt.
Fu Yi found himself distracted again, a rare occurrence.
Seeing that his face was indeed not very good, Cen Yao felt helpless and said, "I will not disturb the prince to rest."
Acting knowledgeable and interesting in just the right way.
But the prince just doesn’t like it. The guard thought to himself as he watched her leaving.
The little girl Xiaohe made the prince so angry that his face turned blue, but he was unwilling to blame him.
It can be seen that there is no reason to truly love someone.
Thinking of this, the guards were shocked by their own thoughts. The word "true love" seemed a bit strange when put together with the word "Prince".
evening.
Yin Huiyi was invited to the Cen family.
The Cen family wanted to invite Fu Yi to attend, but Cen Yaoxin shook her head: "The prince is afraid of the wind."
Yin Huiyi looked up when he heard the voice: "Prince? Prince Danshuo?"
"That's right." Mr. Cen paused and mentioned it deliberately, "He happened to have some free time and sent our Miss Yao back to Weiyang from Yujing."
This reveals that the two have a close relationship.
Yin Huiyi looked strange for a moment, then replied politely, "So that's how it is."
At this time, Cen Da took the initiative to ask, "I heard that Master Yin came to Weiyang to look for someone. I wonder if there is anything the Cen family can help with?"
"I'm looking for a girl named Jiang He. She came to Weiyang about a month ago and lived in Ping'an Lane. Later, due to a misunderstanding, she was arrested by the police and imprisoned... I don't know where she is now."
The more Mr. Cen listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
Isn't that... Xiaohe?
Cen Yaoxin's expression also changed slightly.
Why is this person also here to see her?
Just how much debt did Xiao He incur in Imperial Capital? Wasn't it enough to offend the Prince of Danshuo?
Yin Huiyi was so perceptive that he almost immediately noticed the difference in their expressions and pointed it out directly, "It seems that the Third Master has seen her before?"
"I've seen her." Third Master Cen readily admitted it, but he couldn't figure out, "Why did Master Yin look for her?"
"I have something very important to ask her."
Mr. Cen Sanye and Cen Yaoxin exchanged a quick and obscure look, which meant they had to find this person?
Master Cen Sanye said, "What a pity!" "This man was previously wanted by Prince Danshuo, and he disappeared the day before yesterday after going down the mountain for some unknown reason."
After saying this, Cen San himself felt that something was wrong.
It sounds as if the Cen family is deliberately making things difficult and covering it up.
So Mr. Cen Sanye immediately added, "If Scholar Yin doesn't believe it, you can go ask the prince."
Yin Huiyi almost turned his face away on the spot.
He said, "Okay, I'll go visit the prince later."
Fu Yi drank the medicine without changing his expression, and then lay down to rest for less than an hour.
"Miss Xiaohe?" The guard looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
Cheng Nianying walked around them and went in, and the guards did not dare to stop her.
When Fu Yi opened his eyes, he saw Cheng Nianying lying on the edge of his bed.
His heart skipped a beat.
Cheng Nianying asked him seriously, "Has it been like this since ancient times?"
Fu Yi knew what she meant.
It is simply a response to his statement "Nothing is unconditional in the world".
His forehead began to throb again, the tip of his tongue smelled of blood, and he could hardly suppress his murderous intent.
But she continued, "Prince Kang and Princess Kang were wrong to treat you like that."
The resentment in Fu Yi's heart suddenly dissipated.
"...If it's not good, it shouldn't continue..."
Fu Yi could no longer hear the second half of Cheng Nianying's sentence. His head was buzzing. He stared at her opening and closing lips, his mouth dry and a hint of pleasure passing through his internal organs.
He turned sideways, holding her shoulders tightly, and leaned against her neck, breathing heavily. He was so sick that he was a little unconscious, and only then did he take off the coat that showed his deep scheming and cunningness.
He asked her, "Then tell me, if I don't do this, how can I get what I want?"
"Are you really going to be tied up?" He bit her earlobe.
At that time, Yin Huiyi came to the outside of Tingxue Pavilion and said, "I'm here to see Prince Danshuo."
