Chapter 217 Leaving a Way
Cheng Nianying slept soundly, but still woke up earlier than Fu Yi.
There was only a low couch in the Qingchuan Pavilion. After breaking free from her entangled arms and legs, Cheng Nianying rolled down.
She walked around on the ground and finally picked up the outer robe that belonged to Fu Yi.
There was no one around, so she put on her cloak and walked around. She passed by the large pond where she had been before, and beside it stood a bronze mirror as tall as a person.
The mirror reflected the image, and Cheng Nianying took two steps back uncomfortably...
But then she stared blankly at the mirror and touched her eyebrows.
It is relaxing and pleasant.
Cheng Nianying lowered his head and thought for a moment.
Oh...it must be because I and Fu Yi are so compatible in bed.
If it were someone else...it seems like there would be no chance to know what they are like.
Cheng Nianying blinked and crawled back onto the couch.
A hint of fatigue appeared between Fu Yi's calm brows.
Of course, he is not a statue and he will get tired too.
Cheng Nianying couldn't help but press his eyebrows and touch the wound on his shoulder that had finally formed a complete scab.
There is just one old and long one, and one new and short one.
How did he get injured again after returning to Imperial Capital? Oh... she knew. It must have been at Shaoqu Tower.
Cheng Nianying sighed quietly without realizing it.
Fu Yi's eyebrows twitched at this moment, and he was about to tell her to stop touching and pressing on him...
Cheng Nianying ran away again.
Fu Yi supported himself on the edge of the couch and slowly sat up. He picked up a shirt and put it on, then walked closer.
"do what?"
Cheng Nianying was touching the long scar on the side of her neck in the mirror. She hadn't noticed it before.
She touched it and thought, "It's a bit ugly."
Fu Yi bent down and stood in front of the mirror with her, but didn't say "it's not ugly".
He said, "Who is better than who?"
The scars of both of them were reflected together.
But it seemed like some kind of secret oath.
Cheng Nianying slowly pursed her lips and smiled, then turned her head and asked, "Where's Fu Ruiming?"
"..." Fu Yi sighed softly, "Who is the first man to ask after getting out of bed?"
"We left Tianzi Pavilion, but isn't he still there?"
Fu Yi hummed, and when he talked about business, even the fatigue between his brows faded away.
"He will be responsible for taking Zhong Dingyuan and Ya Jiu away."
"That day we let Jiang Shenyuan go..."
"I had no choice but to let him go. He's always been a formidable figure among the Imperial Guards. I knew he was powerful, but I didn't expect him to be this powerful... It was my miscalculation that led to you encountering him at the Hanging Temple and suffering the consequences."
Cheng Nianying moved her lips. If it weren't for Fu Yi, she would have suffered a greater loss.
She still has this point clearly.
Fu Yi had already continued, "The Tianzi Pavilion lives up to its name and is indeed difficult to deal with. Fortunately, they have a small number of skilled soldiers. On the day of our surprise attack, we borrowed weapons and gained the upper hand.
“Later, when I discovered I hadn’t run into that strange-looking Master Ruan, I knew the Shaoqu Tower Master had probably brought his two most powerful men with him.
“It’s just right, when he comes, we’ll defeat them one by one.
"I brought the soldiers from Prince Ding's palace to Tianzi Pavilion to kill someone with a borrowed knife, so I can't show off too much of my manpower. Since we don't have enough manpower, I have to prioritize this matter and kill his left and right arms first.
"Jiang Shenyuan lost because he was clearly in a disadvantageous position, yet he still wanted to be the winner."
Cheng Nianying listened attentively.
Fu Yi is indeed a man of great talent.
He didn't feel sorry for Jiang Shenyuan's escape at all... He had his own plan step by step.
"If he had been cruel enough to put the knife to your neck..."
Fu Yi paused, "I really don't have any way to deal with him. Not only does he not have to get hurt, but he can also save Master Ruan, Yajiu, Zhong Dingyuan, and Cen Yaoxin."
Cheng Nianying's first reaction: "Am I worth this much?"
How many are equivalent to one?
"What do you think?" Fu Yi just finished speaking, then felt that the tone was inappropriate, and changed his words: "You are of course very valuable now."
"He doesn't kill me, he wants to use me." Cheng Nianying also knew it very well.
"Maybe he's using me to kill you? Or something else?"
Fu Yi responded, "Well, that's because he can't distinguish between the important and the unimportant, and he thinks too highly of himself."
He didn't bother to figure out what Jiang Shenyuan was doing, as if he already knew what was going on.
"He was injured that day, and the injury was serious. But the medicine god in your building is very good, and maybe he can be saved... The emperor summoned me to the palace so quickly, maybe he has already met the emperor." Fu Yi speculated calmly.
"Then I..."
"He will tell the emperor everything about you."
Cheng Nianying suddenly felt that there was still a big mountain ahead waiting to be climbed.
But will it be harder than the training when you were young?
Cheng Nianying turned to look at Fu Yi, and suddenly remembered: "I heard in the palace that the Renzi Pavilion was handled by the Imperial Guards."
"Yes, Jiang Shenyuan's men had no idea about Shao Qu Tower. They just treated them as thieves and dealt with them all. I didn't take them to Tianzi Pavilion because the people there knew more. If I had shouted out that Shao Qu Tower belonged to a noble in the Imperial Capital, they would definitely not have taken action."
"Did you guess what kind of person the owner of Shaoqu Tower was then?"
"There are vague suspicions, but nothing has been confirmed. How could such a large organization, lurking in the Imperial Capital, survive until now without the guidance of a distinguished figure?"
Fu Yi smiled and said, "You don't know how strong the old emperor's desire for control is. He built many Buddhist temples, firstly to better rule the world, and secondly because the monks are his eyes and ears. The monks walk the streets, giving alms and preaching. How can ordinary movements escape his eyes?"
Fu Yi said this, and lifted Cheng Nianying's chin with great interest: "Perhaps, one day, you were going to assassinate me as Shaoqu Tower's secret weapon."
Cheng Nianying stared at him silently for a moment, then grasped his finger. "The Tianzi Pavilion and Renzi Pavilion have both been wiped out. What about the Dizi Pavilion?"
"This is another shortcoming. We have found ways to enter the Tianzi Pavilion and Renzi Pavilion, but we cannot enter the Dizi Pavilion."
"The people from the Dizi Pavilion can't kill me now. They don't have enough power, but will they threaten the Prince's Mansion?"
Fu Yi laughed again: "But we should also leave a way out for Jiang Shenyuan."
Cheng Nianying was surprised.
Fu Yi whispered softly in her ear, "Think about it." He called her name again, "Nian Ying, you're so smart, you can learn anything."
