Chapter 56 No Concubines
On the way, Fu Yi asked, "Why did you think of coming to check on Zimao's wound?"
Mother Zou was worried when she heard this question, fearing that the prince would blame the princess for being too close.
Cheng Nianying was not afraid, and spoke in her usual frank tone: "He always sent his men to guard me, so I should be concerned about him. When I asked, his men said that his injury was not healed yet. So I came to check on him."
Fu Yi praised: "Well seen."
This whole thing was a complete accident, no one could find fault with it, Wu Xun thought from behind.
To be honest, Mu He was devoted to his master, so he had no objection. But the other palace servants... after all, they were the eyes of the palace, and it would be uncomfortable to keep them around.
Cheng Nianying immediately said, "Then I'll help the prince take a look too."
Fu Yi raised his eyes: "Where do you want to look?"
Mother Zou cried out in her heart, "Ouch!" and quickly took two steps back. How could she dare to listen any further?
Cheng Nianying thought for a moment and said, "First, take a look at the place where you were injured by the assassin."
Fu Yi said softly, "Not good."
"Why not?" Cheng Nianying kept asking.
"I can't stand it."
What can't be tolerated? Cheng Nianying was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that last morning, he didn't allow her to touch him in the quilt. She asked him if he couldn't bear it, and he said no.
Cheng Nianying could only respond dryly: "Oh."
How can you not bear this?
Then...how about feeling the pulse?
Cheng Nianying's fingers crawled towards his wrist.
I haven't found the pulse yet.
Fu Yi raised his hand and hugged her around the waist, then held her in his arms, making her unable to move.
It's not that I can't move at all.
If you want to move, you have to use force. Once you use force, you will be easily exposed.
Cheng Nianying had no choice but to hold it in.
But then he remembered, "I came back from outside today and haven't showered or changed my clothes yet."
Fu Yi froze.
My mysophobia came back a little late.
But soon he said calmly: "My lady, have you ever tried a couple's bath? Why don't we take a bath together for a while? If you want to see the wound, take your time..."
Cheng Nianying stuttered for once: "No."
She added, "For the sake of the prince's health, I still can't do it."
Fu Yi: “…”
If something really happens, it will definitely scare you.
After returning to the inner courtyard, Fu Yi let go of Cheng Nianying: "Go, I'll go sleep upstairs."
Cheng Nianying: "Where else are we going to sleep?"
"Your Majesty may come tomorrow. He often wears monk's robes outside the palace. You don't like it, do you? So you should stay here."
Cheng Nianying's eyelids twitched imperceptibly.
He is so sharp!
Even this was noticed!
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips secretly, thinking that she should be more vigilant in the future, so she nodded and said, "Okay." She said, "I am a little afraid of the emperor."
Fu Yi smiled secretly.
lie.
You are not afraid of the emperor at all.
Fu Yi did not expose it. He waved his hand to signal Wu Xun to push him away.
Mother Zou finally let out a long sigh: "Everyone says that Prince Danshuo is a humble gentleman, but I always feel a little scared in his presence."
Yes, he was obviously very gentle. Cheng Nianying pondered for a moment and thought, perhaps it was because he was too sensitive. Sensitivity makes people afraid.
Mother Zou continued walking inside with Cheng Nianying. As they walked, she whispered excitedly, "I was worried that Miss Muhe would cause you a lot of trouble... but I didn't expect that we would solve it by accident today. In the eyes of the prince, brothers are definitely more important than women."
Cheng Nianying was surprised: "Will she cause me big trouble?"
Mother Zou looked at her expression and confirmed that she hadn't had that string at all. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "You didn't notice at all? That Mu He girl is obviously in love with the prince."
……I see.
She also thought that the girl Muhe had some unknown strengths, such as being good at judging people.
But...what she doesn't care about may not be something that others don't care about.
Cheng Nianying still asked humbly: "What's wrong with her being in love with the prince? The prince doesn't like her."
"This man... how could I refuse him when he came to me? Of course, the prince is different from those people. He is a modest gentleman. Even gentlemen have their faults."
"Um?"
"A man like this will especially value affection... This woman has been serving him for so long, and has made such sacrifices for so long, that even a heart as hard as stone will warm up, and he will think of giving her a name."
"oh."
As they were talking, Nanny Shi came out with her people, and the conversation ended there.
*
When Fu Yi got up in the morning, he heard the emperor's voice.
"I took a sip of this medicine and it was really bitter." The emperor put the medicine bowl on the table and sighed softly.
Fu Yi sat up and said calmly, "So the sufferings of the world are borne by the ministers."
The emperor smiled helplessly and said, "All the ministers say so, but you are the only one who puts it into practice."
"Your Majesty's favor is not because my loyalty cannot stand the test, but because I have never had the opportunity. It is by chance that I have the honor to save you."
"I heard about what happened yesterday. These people who came out of the palace dared to rely on their background and take on the temper of their master. They deserve to be killed." The emperor frowned.
Fu Yi finally smiled: "Your Majesty, I have just saved the soul of one servant. I am afraid I cannot save so many souls right now."
The emperor changed his tone and said, "Then punish him with a cane."
He looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "You go and carry out the execution."
The eunuch bowed and, when he straightened up, he hesitated and said, "I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not..."
Emperor: "Tell me about it."
"Why have so many things happened in the Prince's Mansion recently?" The eunuch looked puzzled.
The emperor scowled. "Are you saying the prince did it on purpose? How audacious!"
The eunuch immediately knelt on the ground.
This play failed to change Fu Yi's expression. He asked the eunuch calmly, "Yes, why do so many things always happen in my house?"
"Is it because the outside world resents me for holding such an important position with His Majesty?"
The chief eunuch slapped himself twice and said, "I was just guessing that the prince might have run into some bad luck."
"I don't think so. Your Majesty arranged a marriage for me to bring good luck, so how can there be such a thing as bad luck?"
The emperor glanced at the eunuch and said, "Get out."
The eunuch quickly crawled away.
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "These palace servants are of no use. After being caned, they should all be removed from your residence. However, I am worried that you don't have anyone to comfort you."
"Mu He is quite devoted, so why not keep her and take her as a concubine?"
“…”
The emperor received no response, so he could not help but call out softly, "Huai Yan, how is it?"
Fu Yi's gaze fell on the window. He pointed and said, "I am looking at someone."
As the emperor approached, he saw Cheng Nianying standing outside the building.
The emperor smiled: "The princess is gentle and decent, she will understand that you have married Mu He. With Mu He by your side and caring for you, she will feel more relaxed."
As he spoke, he turned around and ordered, "Go and invite the princess up here."
Cheng Nianying was invited up like this.
The emperor walked behind the screen and gave Fu Yi some time to just mention it to the Princess.
Cheng Nianying walked through the prayer flags and came to the front as if she was familiar with the place.
Fu Yi asked her, "Why are you here so early?"
Cheng Nianying said, "I remembered that I have something to ask the prince."
Fu Yi's lips curled up.
Chatting with this little girl of unknown origin is more interesting than talking to the emperor.
He asked patiently, "What's the matter?"
"Do you like Schima superba?" Cheng Nianying asked directly.
Fu Yi: “…”
Without waiting for Fu Yi to speak.
Cheng Nianying continued, "You don't like her, right?"
In order to further confirm that the position of "County Prince's Consort" was unshakable, Cheng Nianying continued to ask: "Will the County Prince not take concubines in the future?"
