Chapter 83 Fu Yi is unhappy
At that time, the main city of Kuizhou had just resumed normal entry and exit.
Zizhu, who had stayed in the city for many days, changed out of her usual purple clothes and put on men's clothes. She also used special techniques to draw eyebrows and paint eyes, making her bones look much stronger.
As she passed by the former private residence of Li Jinjiang, she could catch a glimpse of the incense, candles, paper money, gold and silver ingots placed outside the residence by the people.
Zizhu lowered her gaze and walked sideways into the alley not far away.
The man was waiting there. When he saw her coming, he immediately turned around and said, "The master has ordered you to return to the imperial capital with him."
Zizhu's face lit up with joy. This time, the matter was handled beautifully, and in the end, she had escaped perfectly.
These words were a reward and affirmation to her.
There are so many people who can't even return to Kyoto.
"What about Mrs. Huo...didn't you take her down?" Zizhu asked.
"I've checked, and the person who took your medicine wasn't her."
Zizhu was no fool, and figured it out immediately: "Did she steal someone else's clothes?"
"Yes. The building wants to catch her, but now we lack clues. The master has something to ask you."
Zizhu suddenly had an epiphany.
It turned out that this was the reason why she was asked to enter the imperial capital.
Zizhu couldn't say she was disappointed. After all, she went to Yujing, and maybe she would have a better future.
"If my master has something to ask, I will answer it even if it means death. I'm just afraid... I saw her so quickly that day, and I only remember that she was wearing Huo Niang's clothes, and nothing else..." Zizhu was embarrassed.
She was also afraid that when she went to Yujing, she would say something wrong and be blamed.
"What about the smell? Did she have any special smell on her body at that time? Or, when you watched her walk, was there anything strange? When she was fighting with you, were there any characteristics on her hands?" the man asked.
Zizhu racked her brains and began to recall.
The man attacked ruthlessly and decisively, strangling her half to death. She had no time to pay attention to the man's characteristics.
"No rush, you can think slowly along the way. The master will probably ask you these questions when the time comes." The man turned and walked ahead.
Zizhu hurriedly followed.
The two of them took a carriage and drove out of the city.
The wind blew up the car curtains.
Zizhu suddenly said, "It tastes a bit like this!"
"Um?"
Zizhu leaned over to look, staring at the sign passing by outside - Renjitang.
"It smells like medicine. A very faint, very faint smell of medicine. It's not the kind of medicine we usually take."

Cheng Nianying went three days without taking a bath.
The imperial physician came to see her injury, his brow furrowed, "It's healing a little slowly."
Cheng Nianying looked at him silently without saying a word.
The imperial physician immediately emphasized, "The medicines I used are excellent! And treating burns like these isn't complicated at all."
Nanny Shi became worried when she heard this, and her brows furrowed, but she heard footsteps approaching.
She turned around hurriedly and saw Fu Yi coming in. She hurriedly called out, "Master." She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
The princess's illness actually helped her master get much better.
"The wound on your hand hasn't healed yet?" Fu Yi asked.
"yes."
"I'll send someone to the palace to get some more rare medicinal herbs." Fu Yi said as he walked closer.
At this time, Cheng Nianying was quick to pull down the bed curtain and pressed her fingertips firmly on the edge of the bed, thus isolating Fu Yi from outside.
Seeing this, Fu Yi pursed his lips and smiled: "Why? Are you afraid that you will pass your illness on to me?"
"I said that day that I can't take a shower. I'm all sweaty."
"Yes, I said it that day too. If I had known this would happen, why would I have rushed to the fire so hastily?"
When Madam Shi heard this conversation, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
How come the master, such a smart person, can't understand the meaning of the words at this time?
She said hurriedly: "The princess knows that you like cleanliness, so she is ashamed to see you."
Fu Yi was slightly stunned: "Oh, so that's why."
He lowered his eyes to look at Cheng Nianying, and gradually an inexplicable force began to push up in his heart.
He likes cleanliness.
But now he wanted to see whether the girl lying on the bed was really ashamed to see him as Nanny Shi said.
How embarrassing?
Fu Yi reached out to lift the bed curtains.
"Master." The guard at the door came in.
Fu Yi paused: "What's the matter?"
"Prince Liang and Prince Rui are here."
Fu Yi lowered his head and chuckled: "Oh, you are here to cause trouble."
This time, the bed curtain that Fu Yi couldn't open was pulled open by Cheng Nianying from the inside.
Cheng Nianying sat up and asked, "What trouble are they looking for?" As soon as she finished asking, she had the answer herself: "Do they think the prince was murdered by the prince?"
Fu Yi smiled bitterly, "Yes, that's how I am in their eyes. Whenever something bad happens, I'm the first person they think of. I wonder if my wife reported their sins to the Buddha on my behalf when we were in the temple last time?"
Cheng Nianying was silent for a moment.
Of course not.
And... now she also feels... that maybe he was the one who did it.
Without getting a response from Cheng Nianying, the smile on Fu Yi's face faded a little.
This is not a good way to pretend.
How come you can’t even say a word to comfort people?
Fu Yi stood up: "I'll come see you later."
"The prince is going to meet them?"
"Um."
"I will go with the prince."
Fu Yi lowered his head again and met Cheng Nianying's shining eyes.
"You are ill."
"Isn't the prince ill?" Cheng Nianying thought quickly and added, "How can I let the prince go alone?"
Fu Yi didn't correct her. She was accompanied by guards and attendants, and there were also maids serving her. How could she be considered "one person"?
After all, at least he said something pleasant.
He said, "Okay."
Fu Yi made the decision, and no one else had the power to stop him. Nanny Shi hurriedly changed Cheng Nianying's clothes, and didn't even have time to comb her hair carefully, so she just tied it up loosely.
In the hall, Prince Liang looked around and sneered: "The regulations of Fu Yi's mansion are not inferior to those of a prince."
"Your Majesty has granted me permission," Prince Rui said, meaning that my elder brother should not criticize me.
"Your Highness, please take a seat first." The maidservant beside him brought tea and snacks.
However, King Liang refused to sit down. Instead, he put one hand on his waist and started walking around.
Soon, a voice was heard outside shouting, "Prince Danshuo is here."
King Liang suddenly stopped, turned around, drew his sword, and pointed it at the person who came. He did it almost in one go, and no one could react.
At that moment, Fu Yi felt a tightness in his sleeve.
Cheng Nianying pulled him away and went forward herself, while her other hand curled into a claw... She was unable to make a move.
Because the sharp blade suddenly stopped in front of her.
"Shuashuashua——"
The guards inside and outside the hall drew their swords almost at the same time.
Even King Rui, who was already seated, stood up in shock and ran towards them: "Brother! What are you doing!"
Prince Liang's facial muscles tightened, and he smiled: "How dare I kill Prince Danshuo? I just wanted to test the prince's courage."
Fu Yi's expression didn't change at all. He raised his eyelids and reached out to grab the knife in Prince Liang's hand: "Really? I'll try it too, Your Highness Prince Liang."
King Liang suddenly withdrew his hand, but used the tip of the knife to lift up the hood on Cheng Nianying's head.
The hood dropped.
The girl's overly beautiful face suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
Prince Liang was stunned for a moment and sarcastically said, "Why is the prince hiding behind a woman?"
Fu Yi stared at the tip of his knife.
Very unhappy.
