Chapter 318: Extra 11: The Cheating Couple (Part 2)
Wu Xun laughed when he heard this: "You think too highly of yourself!"
"He is my husband." Cheng Nianying said without changing her expression.
The leader choked again, his face becoming even more dismal. "That's not worthy of Your Majesty coming in person, and bringing along the Prince of Danshuo..."
"It's just on the way." Cheng Nianying said.
The leader didn't want to talk anymore.
The Qingshui Sect was wiped out in one fell swoop.
Fu Yi still couldn't forget about this... He thought it would be great to have more business trips.
They quickly returned to the imperial capital, where the court remained peaceful.
All the officials in the court said a lot of words like "Your Majesty is wise". Cheng Nianying listened with a calm expression and went back to the palace to coax Yuanyuan.
Yuanyuan hadn't seen his parents for a long time, so he slept well next to them for a few days and finally stopped whining at night.
"When we left Zizhou, I seemed to see Qin Yurong." Cheng Nianying lay on the bed, closed her eyes and said softly.
Fu Yi had no interest in Qin Yurong's whereabouts, but since Cheng Nianying had spoken, he had to respond to his wife's words.
He squeaked, "Hmm?"
"She was carrying a basket filled with cloth."
Cheng Nianying didn't know whether she was going to sell cloth or deliver it to someone else. Qin Yurong had lost a lot of weight after leaving Prince Liang's mansion, but she was still in good spirits.
After the Qin family went to prison, all the remaining property was left to her. As long as she didn't get seduced by men's sweet words again, she would be able to live a stable life.
Cheng Nianying closed her eyes, turned over, and was grabbed by Fu Yi's hand.
"There are some things in the Qingshui Sect that haven't been used up yet."
"Ask the palace maid to carry Yuanyuan out?" Fu Yi suddenly asked in a hoarse voice.
Cheng Nianying opened her eyes again and met Fu Yi's burning gaze, and they stared at each other silently for a long while.
She quietly responded, "Yeah."
Year after year.
It was only when Yin Heng went to Beijing to report on his work that he was able to see the appearance of the young crown prince.
Yin Heng has become more stable now, but he is inevitably tired after being a high-ranking official for so long.
He squatted down in front of Yuanyuan and arranged the gifts he brought in a circle.
"To the Crown Prince."
He didn't expect that they would have a child so soon...
Yin Heng was good-looking, and Yuanyuan was willing to accept his gift. She took out a small wooden horse and went to play with it.
Yin Heng looked at Yuanyuan's leaving figure, and a hint of loneliness could not help but appear in his eyes.
It was winter, and the snow fell all over his body, making him look even more pitiful.
Yuanyuan, who had already walked out, came back to him with her short legs, staggering, and blew the snow off his head before leaving.
"This person is good." Yuanyuan whispered to him.
“But a little bit clumsy.”
"Why doesn't he have an umbrella?"
Yin Huiyi sighed not far away and walked over to hold an umbrella for his son.
Yin Heng whispered, "Your Majesty and Prince Danshuo haven't gotten married yet?"
Yin Huiyi shook his head.
But he had everything he needed. I heard that when he went to wipe out the Qingshui Sect, he even held a wedding banquet.
Yin Heng was silent for a long time, then asked, "No one in the court is offering advice. Your Majesty, would you please fill your harem?"
Yin Huiyi stared at him without saying anything.
Yin Heng whispered, "Back in Weiyang, my father said I was still too young, and even asked the then emperor to protect me... I must grow into a great tree that can protect others."
"Father, I have grown into a big tree now."
Yin Huiyi only said one sentence: "Even if the court really makes a suggestion in the future and asks Your Majesty to take in an imperial husband, the one recommended to Your Majesty must be a handsome young man of sixteen or eighteen."
"You're not young anymore."
"..." Yin Heng's heart was full of holes because of the pain he felt from his own father.
After a while, he smiled helplessly: "I even suspected that you were deliberately using those words to fool me when you were in Weiyang."
Yin Huiyi: "Ah, your years have not been in vain. No one can fool you from now on. You have indeed grown up."
Yin Heng: “…”
Yin Huiyi patted his shoulder and said, "I told you back then that you might not listen, but now you're old enough, can't you see through people's hearts? His Majesty's heart is with Fu Yi, not you."
"Besides, even if you go forward to fight for his favor, can you defeat Fu Yi?"
“…”
Yin Huiyi hugged his son and said, "Even though you've lost your wife, you're now a good official loved by the people. Isn't this what you wanted?"
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Yin Hengcai smiled: "...Yes."
Yin Heng met Cheng Nianying the next day. After completing his work report, he was transferred to another location. Yin Heng didn't stay long, hurriedly said goodbye to his father, and rushed to his next training location.
As soon as Yin Heng left, Fu Yi also came to the palace.
He also brought a handful of mugwort leaves.
Cheng Nianying leaned over the table and peeked out curiously: "It's not Qingming Festival, what's going on?"
"Get rid of bad luck."
“…”
It will soon be New Year again, and the palace will hold another banquet.
Fu Yi accompanied Cheng Nianying to review the memorials for a while when someone came to report: "Zhong Dingyuan is ill."
When Cheng Nianying heard the name suddenly, she was dazed for a moment.
Then she remembered that the deposed prince was still imprisoned in Fu Yi's dungeon.
"Is she seriously ill?" Fu Yi put a coat on Cheng Nianying from behind and asked in a deep voice.
"It's a bit heavy."
"Ask the doctor to take a look. If he can survive, he will live. If not, bury him." Fu Yi said coldly.
Zhong Dingyuan was lucky enough to survive the New Year.
By the end of the first month of the lunar year, Zhong Dingyuan was finally able to go out of bed.
He was moved out of the dungeon because of his illness, and now he is very obedient.
Forget about hoping his father would reinstate him, all he wanted was to leave Imperial Capital.
He thought he had to discuss it with Fu Yi, or even beg him for help! But the prerequisite for begging him was that he could see Fu Yi.
So Zhong Dingyuan stuck his head out and asked, "Is your master... still alive?"
Because of this sentence, he was almost beaten to death by the guards of the Prince's Mansion.
"Okay, okay, I thought about it. He's alive, he's alive. Otherwise, I wouldn't still be locked up here..." Zhong Dingyuan protected his head. "I just want to see him! I have something to tell him!"
The guards looked at each other coldly.
There was a silent look in his eyes: Do you think I care about you?
Zhong Dingyuan thought quickly: "Talking about Xiao He, Xiao He! Doesn't he want to listen?"
"Xiao He?"
"It's Jiang He, the one next to your master. He likes her and she used to pretend to be your princess..."
Zhong Dingyuan was beaten again.
The guard corrected him: "You must call me Your Majesty!"
Zhong Dingyuan was as if struck by lightning. "What did you say? Your Majesty? Who is Your Majesty?"
Zhong Dingyuan, who had just escaped death and recovered, learned that his father had already passed away during his imprisonment.
"Jiang He", whom Jiang Shenyuan could control at will before, has now become the daughter of his eldest brother, and with the support of the treacherous minister Fu Yi, she has ascended to the throne!
Oh my God! A woman is the emperor!
Zhong Dingyuan felt as if he was struck by lightning over and over again.
"He's crazy..." Zhong Dingyuan had just uttered two words when he remembered the beating just now, so he swallowed it back tactfully.
But thanks to what he just said, he wanted to tell Fu Yi about Xiao He.
So not long after, Fu Yi came to see him.
"What's the matter?" Fu Yi was direct and cold.
Zhong Dingyuan was so angry that he cursed in his heart.
Good, good, Fu Yi’s wife has become the emperor, she is different now, now she doesn’t even fake a smile! What a cold face!
Fu Yi stopped smiling, and Zhong Dingyuan forced a smile at this moment: "I just realized that Xiao He is actually my niece."
"Yes, you actually wanted to drown him before. If King Liang knew about this..."
Zhong Dingyuan didn't bother trying to claim any kinship, and quickly said, "I just wanted to praise her! She's truly amazing! The last time I saw her, she asked me if I knew my father's weaknesses and how to kill him."
Fu Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at him.
"At that time, she knew that my father had murderous intentions towards you, and she wanted to assassinate my father for you..."
"Did she take action later?" Zhong Dingyuan asked in a low voice.
At the same time, he discovered that Fu Yi's expression did change subtly after hearing these words.
Zhong Dingyuan continued, "She asked me that question, but I couldn't explain it clearly. You know, my father and I aren't that close... In fact, Prince Liang is closer."
"I racked my brains, and finally told her the one thing I knew. When I was young, I was playful and was trapped in my father's bedroom. I was later rescued. I still remember the look in my father's eyes when he looked at me..."
"Trapped?" Fu Yi interrupted.
"Well, later, when I grew up, I realized that what trapped me was the secret room in my father's bedroom."
It turned out that it was because of this that Cheng Nianying was able to trap the emperor in the secret room and finally escape with him.
Because she wanted to save his life from the emperor, she came to ask Zhong Dingyuan, and finally, she really saved him in the moment of danger.
It turned out that Aying had already expressed her love at that time.
"I will order someone to escort you out of Imperial Capital."
Fu Yi finally said the words that Zhong Dingyuan wanted to hear most.
Fu Yi left after he finished speaking.
He entered the palace bathed in the glow of the sunset.
"Why are you here at this time?" Cheng Nianying put down her pen and looked up at Fu Yi.
Fu Yi quickly ran towards her and said with a smile, "Forgive me for any offense."
He picked up Cheng Nianying.
It's like holding everything.
