Chapter 215 More Interesting Things
"Although Commander Jiang was away that day, his soldiers were brave and fearless, and the Deputy Commander set an example. They were all taught by him personally."
"I would like to commend Commander Jiang for his achievements."
“…”
“…………”
The hall was dead silent.
The emperor lowered his head, then raised it again: "Yes, I should reward them."
He paused, then changed the subject: "What about the soldiers of Prince Ding's Mansion? They are truly under your command."
Fu Yi did not shy away from answering, saying, "Your Majesty is very observant. Ever since the Crown Prince was deposed, undercurrents have been surging within the Imperial Capital. Many people are restless and have begun to win over court officials, resulting in the formation of numerous factions."
"I am fortunate to be valued by Your Majesty and have access to the Council of State. Therefore, I have become the target of these people's efforts."
"I've been the target of numerous assassination attempts lately, and just at this moment, Prince Ding has offered to lend me his troops to help me eliminate the assassination organization. I can't help but wonder if this is a plot set by Prince Ding against me."
"Guessing is useless. Only by putting myself in the game and testing it myself can I tell for Your Majesty whether he is loyal or treacherous."
After saying this, Cheng Nianying, who had her head down, couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.
Can you turn a bad thing into a good thing with just a few words?
The emperor suddenly sat up straight, gasped twice, and the soup bowl in his hand fell at Fu Yi's feet.
The soup splashed along with the fragments, wetting Fu Yi's clothes and shoes, and the broken porcelain pieces also fell sporadically on Cheng Nianying's feet.
The palace maids were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Fu Yi turned his head and glanced at Cheng Nianying's feet.
"Does the prince mean that the designated prince intends to seize the throne?" the emperor asked sternly.
Fu Yi grabbed Cheng Nianying's wrist with one hand and led her to kneel down together.
The wide sleeves secretly swept away the porcelain pieces in front of Cheng Nianying.
But he knelt down himself.
His eyebrows twitched at that moment, but he continued calmly, "I dare not speak rashly about things I haven't confirmed. When Eunuch Xu came, I was at Prince Ding's mansion, trying to find evidence."
His behavior and motives all made sense.
The emperor closed his eyes, and the palace fell silent again. No one knew what the emperor was thinking at this moment.
After a while, he closed his eyes and asked, "So what did you find?"
Compared to dealing with Fu Yi at this moment.
He was obviously more concerned about King Ding's movements.
Fu Yi is just a minister after all, but Prince Ding has the confidence to seize the throne.
"I haven't discovered anything yet."
"Is it my fault that I asked Eunuch Xu to summon you at this time?"
"I dare not. Your Majesty summoning me here at this time is actually a good thing."
"oh?"
"Prince Ding would not be alert and think that I am here to investigate him."
"Um……"
The hall became quiet again.
After a while, the emperor opened his eyes and touched the teacup beside him again.
A glimmer of light flashed across Cheng Nianying's eyes... She clenched Fu Yi's hand. Are you going to hit Fu Yi again?
The emperor is so hard to serve!
Fu Yi still had his head down, savoring the touch of Cheng Nianying's hand.
She seemed to be suppressing the urge to strike, unconsciously pinching him lightly with her nails, then pinching his fingertips...
Fu Yi's body trembled slightly under his robe.
The emperor stared at him and said, "Help the prince stand up."
All the palace maids who were kneeling on the ground in fear rushed forward at once. If Fu Yi had not grabbed Cheng Nianying, they would have seemed to push her away.
But no matter what, Fu Yi was helped up.
The chair that had been delayed for a long time finally arrived.
"This isn't the first time you haven't submitted a report beforehand. While it's true that we should act swiftly in times of emergency, if you do this over and over again, and it gets out, I'm afraid you'll be considered a traitor."
"I have to punish you and let others see."
The emperor also spoke nice words.
That's why she doesn't like noble people.
Cheng Nianying said in her heart.
"Your Majesty, please punish me." Fu Yi said.
"First, tell me what you are planning. How are you going to investigate Prince Ding?" The emperor paused and then instructed the palace servants, "The prince doesn't like dirt. Go wipe the soup off his body."
"Yes." The palace servants responded, one brought a basin of water and the other held a silk towel.
Cheng Nianying thought carefully for a moment. Should she take it? Or not?
Forget it. Better not let the old emperor notice this.
As long as they don't attack Fu Yi, she will endure it.
The palace maid wet the towel and her soft hands were about to reach Fu Yi's lower body.
Fu Yi pushed her away.
"It has to be changed." Fu Yi gave a bitter smile and then said to the emperor, "I need to spend more time with Prince Ding. Please allow me, Your Majesty."
“…”
Fu Yi continued, "It just occurred to me... Although I haven't had much contact with Prince Ding these past few days, I've discovered that the guards of Prince Ding's mansion are just as brave as the Imperial Guards. And when I visited him today, I discovered that Prince Ding's eldest son is quite intelligent."
The emperor's interest was piqued again.
In other words, he had to be piqued.
Sitting on the throne was both comfortable and uncomfortable. He ruled the world, yet he was wary of his brothers and their sons...
He had many brothers, but he didn't care much for them. Because those brothers who were destined to die had mostly died. The ones who were still alive were mostly spoiled, and their descendants were nothing more than a pile of fine clothes and debauchery.
But if the descendants are powerful and capable, it will be different.
If you can’t take it away in one life, there is always another.
This is something the emperor cannot tolerate.
He smiled and said, "To be praised for my intelligence by your Fu Yi... I must have underestimated this nephew before."
"Alright, since you can't even stand, go back and rest. I'll have someone take over the interrogation of the assassin organization."
The emperor waved his hand.
"I'll take my leave."
Cheng Nianying immediately supported Fu Yi and turned around and walked out of the palace gate.
After everyone had left, the emperor's expression darkened. He asked, "Is he awake?"
"Just woke up." Someone at hand replied.
"What a coincidence." The emperor stood up suddenly, staggered, and his vision went dark.
The people next to him quickly reached out and supported him.
The emperor looked down at his hands, and there were brown spots hidden in the wrinkles on the back of his hands.
He is old.
He is old!
"Bring the person here." The emperor sat back down.
When Jiang Shenyuan was carried over, the emperor was ordering people to draft an edict.
He fined Fu Yi's salary.
It doesn't sound painful or itchy.
"Since I am reluctant to punish Fu Yi severely, I will punish Prince Kang's Mansion as well," said the emperor.
"Also...deliver my secret letter and ask Prince Liang to return to the capital."

On this side, Cheng Nianying helped Fu Yi get into the carriage.
She was still thinking about the conversation between the emperor and Fu Yi. Fu Yi mentioned more than once that Prince Ding had offered to lend him his guards...
But that should also be set up by Fu Yi, right?
Just like Yin Heng "willingly" stepped into Wei Yang at the beginning.
Fu Yi only needs to say a few words lightly on the right occasion... and others will fall into his trap.
Fu Yi seemed to know what she was thinking and lowered his voice and said, "I've been thinking this morning, if Prince Ding is your biological father, why would you dirty your hands if you wanted to kill him?"
"People often say that a son who kills his father will be punished by heaven. It is better to use the emperor's hand."
"If he's not your biological father, and he insists on claiming to be your father, with evil intentions, he deserves to die just as well, doesn't he?"
Fu Yi smiled and opened his arms, the veins in his neck throbbing, and he said in a hoarse voice, "So dirty."
Without thinking, Cheng Nianying raised her hand to untie his belt and take off his outer robe.
Now he said, "Not enough."
Cheng Nianying then took off his underwear and blouse. Before she could take a closer look, she felt a flash before her eyes. Fu Yi hugged her and pressed her against the wall of the car, then lowered his head and kissed her hard.
She didn't even know what moved him.
His heat and hardness had already burned her so much that she trembled slightly unconsciously.
