Chapter 73 Fishing
After Wei Xing said this, he lowered his head in fear and could not get up.
There was silence in the carriage. Fu Ruiming had a stiff face, and the people from the Palace Front Department wanted to stick themselves to the wall of the carriage and turn themselves into a wall!
Fu Yi raised his eyelids and looked at Cheng Nianying.
Not mad at all.
It's a pity.
"The Deputy Commander of the Militia is only an eighth-rank official," the emperor said. "Your daughter is having an affair with the Crown Prince. Are you kidding me?"
Wei Xing trembled and dared not speak.
The carriage remained silent for a long time before the emperor spoke again: "Do you know what the consequences of deceiving the emperor are?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty knows."
"If you are honest, I will reward you. If you are being instigated by others and are deliberately biting me..."
"I dare not!"
The emperor waved his hand, and Fu Ruiming immediately stood up and invited Wei Xing to leave.
After nightfall, they rested temporarily in a nearby city.
Fu Yi specially asked for an extra room for Cheng Nianying.
Wu Xun was puzzled.
Who knew that just after helping Fu Yi finish washing up, there was a knock on the door.
"It's me." Cheng Nianying's voice rang out.
Wu Xun:.
Is this fishing? Right? What kind of evil hobby does the master have?
Fu Yi walked over and opened the door: "Why are you here? Don't be so particular on the way back. If you are worried about my appearance, then just sleep separately."
Cheng Nianying squeezed in and said, "I told you that day, I'm used to it."
"I forgot. It's my fault."
Cheng Nianying responded with a "hmm" and turned to look at Wu Xun.
Wu Xun: "...Then I will withdraw now?"
Fu Yi: "Go ahead."
Wu Xun quickly retreated and considerately closed the door for them.
Inside the door, before Cheng Nianying could speak, Fu Yi asked very politely, "Did you recognize that was Wei Yanhua's father?"
"yes."
"Worried about Wei Yanhua?"
Cheng Nianying nodded. "How dare he harm his own daughter like this?" Wei Yanhua might be implicated in a whole chain of events. She wanted to leave the Prince's Mansion peacefully, not be forced to leave at this moment.
Fu Yi frowned slightly and cursed, "This man is a bastard and unfit to be a father."
He changed the subject: "But you can rest assured that he will die soon."
"It's no use dying. He's already spoken."
"But at least Miss Wei will be happy, as her father was buried with her."
"Wei Yanhua will die too?"
"Of course. How could the emperor allow such a scandal to be exposed to the public?"
Cheng Nianying looked at him silently without saying a word.
"My lady, are you asking me for help?"
"Um."
"But this matter involves quite a lot. If I get involved, I'm afraid I'll get into trouble." Fu Yi asked her deliberately, "I wonder who is more important to you, me or that girl from the Wei family?"
Cheng Nianying stopped talking again.
Fu Yi saw that she had her eyes lowered and looked thoughtful... Could it be that she wanted to kill the emperor directly?
Fu Yi pursed his lips, afraid of teasing too much, and said quickly: "I already know that I am more important to you. Let me think of a way to deal with this matter."
Cheng Nianying pulled his sleeve: "Forget it."
"What's the matter?"
"What if the prince is killed?"
"There are countless people out there who wish me dead. Fortunately, my wife wishes me a long life."
Cheng Nianying didn't know how to comfort him.
Then he heard Fu Yi say again: "Shouldn't you come up and hug me now?"
Cheng Nianying understood and quickly opened her arms to hug him.
Fu Yi lowered his head and couldn't help but chuckle. He was in a good mood and said, "Take a rest."
*
The emperor never questioned Wei Xing about the details, nor did he see the crown prince again. The atmosphere was tense as they hurried back to the imperial capital.
Fu Yi collapsed from exhaustion again that day, and the emperor immediately ordered him to return home to rest. "You have worked really hard this time. Please take care of yourself. The reward will arrive at your house soon."
Fu Yi, however, held onto the emperor's sleeve and refused to let go: "I still have something that worries me."
"What is it? Just tell me."
"The daughter of the Wei family must be questioned carefully, there may be something unusual."
"Are you still worried that someone is framing the prince?"
"yes."
"The prince hates you, but you care about him." The emperor stared at Fu Yi.
"I am just afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"The Crown Prince has been appointed as the heir apparent since childhood. If he is stripped of his position now, it will likely lead to unrest in the court."
The emperor sneered after hearing this: "If I were to depose him, it would cause unrest in the court..."
The emperor didn't say the rest of the words, but his murderous intent towards Wei Yanhua did fade a little.
Only then was Fu Yi helped back into the carriage.
He said to Cheng Nianying, "Wei Yanhua won't die for the time being."
Cheng Nianying had just heard the conversation between the two clearly. She was amazed that only a few words were needed to change the emperor's mind.
"Why are you looking at me?" Fu Yi asked her.
Cheng Nianying said frankly: "You are very good."
Wu Xun couldn't help but interject, "Of course. Your Majesty's plan to appease the people of Kuizhou was all the work of the master."
Even Wei Xing.
He was also specially chosen by the master to lure the city gate open.
"My master has put in a lot of effort to suppress the rebellion in Kuizhou without leaving any future troubles." Wu Xun was proud of it.
Fu Yi said, "This is the joint credit of my wife and I."
He has so many nice things to say.
Cheng Nianying's eyelashes trembled slightly.
But...was it he who proposed the plan for An Kuizhou?
An idea suddenly occurred to Cheng Nianying - Prince Danshuo seemed to understand human nature very well.
Or rather, he can manipulate human nature.
Fu Yi's words of praise just now flashed through her mind again. She clenched her fingertips and slowly calmed down. She no longer felt the same breath lighten for a moment.
I shouldn't think of him like that.
I actually suspected that he was manipulating me as well.
