Chapter 86 Chu Zhen's Visit
Wu Xun brought the box that the Prince of Liang's attendant had brought to Fu Yi: "They said it was a gift of apology to the Princess of the County."
"When has the word 'apology' ever appeared in the King of Liang's vocabulary?" Wu Xun immediately spoke up, "I wonder if there's some conspiracy behind this."
Fu Yi cast his gaze upwards: "If the word 'apology' has nothing to do with him, then 'scheming' has even less to do with him."
When Wu Xun heard this, he agreed and couldn't help but chuckled twice.
"Then this thing..." Wu Xun bent down to open the lid.
"What for?" Fu Yi raised his eyelids, "Give it to the Princess of the County, and let her open it herself."
"yes."
"Wait, I'll go over too."
King Liang was not a strategist, but his move was indeed strange.
…
When Fu Yi arrived, Cheng Nianying was just huddling at the foot of the bed.
"What's wrong?" Fu Yi asked.
Cheng Nianying pointed innocently and said, "It collapsed on its own."
A strange look flashed across Fu Yi's eyes. To make the bed curtains and the bed frame collapse...it would take quite a bit of strength.
How can I collapse?
Fu Yi walked over and said, "It collapsed, so long as no one was hurt."
While holding Cheng Nianying's wrist, he looked at it with great interest.
Such a thin wrist, yet such strength is hidden in it.
How incredible.
Cheng Nianying suddenly pulled her hand back.
Fu Yi was stunned.
What? You still can't stand it?
Cheng Nianying really didn't want to show it to him.
She had been observing Prince Danshuo for a long time and realized that when he looked at people, no matter how gentle his gaze was, it was actually no different from the way he looked at objects.
"What is that?" Cheng Nianying looked at the box being carried into the door, breaking the awkward atmosphere at the moment.
Fu Yi withdrew his hand, still unhappy in his heart, and said, "This is a gift of apology from King Liang."
Only then did Cheng Nianying get off the bed with the help of the maid, walk to the box, bend down and open it.
The inside is divided into three layers, with a set of golden headgear on the top, and a cloak underneath. If you lift the cloak up, you can see a complete dress underneath.
Fu Yi's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Outdated things."
Cheng Nianying squatted down and reached out to touch it: "Isn't this made of gold?"
"yes."
So what does it matter whether it’s outdated or not?
Cheng Nianying asked again: "Is this an apology to me?"
"Um."
It wasn't a wedding gift, nor was it a gift from the Emperor on behalf of Prince Danshuo. It was simply an apology for her sins, and it was hers alone.
Cheng Nianying quietly put this thing on the list of things to bring with her when leaving the house.
She whispered, "I like it very much. I will put it away myself later."
Fu Yi felt a little uncomfortable with this and said indifferently, "Does this mean you forgive me?"
Cheng Nianying blinked: "He is a prince, the emperor's son. It doesn't matter if I don't forgive him in the first place."
He even sent me gifts. He is a nice person.
Fu Yi laughed angrily: "Don't you share the same hatred with me? He even scolded me before."
Cheng Nianying raised her eyes and looked at him: "When the prince scolded him, I scolded him too."
How can we not be considered common enemies?
Fu Yi: “…”
Cheng Nianying could see that he was unhappy.
After thinking about it, she tried to save the situation and said, "I stopped him in front of the prince even when he drew his sword."
Fu Yi: "...Don't stop me next time."
Cheng Nianying pouted secretly. Why was she still unhappy? And she had stopped the wrong person?
Fu Yi left after delivering the things.
Cheng Nianying sat there and couldn't help but lower her head and sniff herself. She must think I stink. Right?
Cheng Nianying's hands were itching, and she unconsciously used a little more force to grab the table leg. However, this time she stopped in time and did not overturn the table as well.

The second day.
"Princess." Mother Zou's slightly anxious voice sounded.
Cheng Nianying had woken up. She slowly sat up with the newly hung bed curtain at her side.
She asked, "What?"
"Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion has returned to the capital."
"Then clean up immediately, we..."
"No need to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis's wife has brought the young master to ask for an audience, and the Duke has already nodded and allowed them to enter the mansion."
"So early?" Cheng Nianying was surprised.
Perhaps because the Wuning Marquisate had been away from the capital for so long, she hadn't been able to speak to the Marquis's wife again. When she heard this today, she didn't have much hope.
"Then call someone in to wash up."
"Why!"
The other side.
Chu Zhen and the other two were meeting Fu Yi.
Chu Zhen was flattered to be able to meet Fu Yi.
The other person was not sitting on a sedan chair, and his gaze did not look condescending.
The man was wearing a snow-blue casual suit and a jade-decorated fu hat, and his posture was relaxed.
When Chu Zhen was in front of him, she couldn't help but stroke the hair on her temples. If she looked even a little embarrassed, she would inevitably feel ashamed in front of a figure like Prince Danshuo.
Fu Yi was playing with a jade toad in one hand at this time, and said slowly: "Yurong has been ill recently."
"Are you sick?" Chu Zhen pinched her palm.
Did he reveal something wrong? Was he put under surveillance?
"Then I wonder if I can still see her today?" Chu Zhen's heart was tense, but she tried her best to look relaxed.
She thought she had concealed it very well, but it all fell into Fu Yi's sight.
Fu Yi smiled faintly and said, "How can a mother not see her daughter? Besides, she has been thinking about the Marquis' wife these days. It would be best if the Marquis' wife could comfort her now and prevent her from feeling sick."
Chu Zhen's mood went through a huge ups and downs. She laughed easily: "I miss her too."
"Well, you two can chat." Fu Yi looked at Qin Yuling, "Brother, why don't you come with me for tea?"
Qin Yuling blushed: "Yes, yes."
He hurried to catch up with Fu Yi.
As Fu Yi walked forward, people around him naturally bowed to see him off.
But after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the maid beside Chu Zhen and said, "This maid is a bit clumsy."
Chu Zhen hurriedly pulled the maid aside and then bowed and said, "I think you are so worried about Yurong's illness that you seem slow to react."
"Yeah." Fu Yiyun responded calmly, without asking any more questions or looking any more, and just strode out.
As soon as he left, the people behind him breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Zhen couldn't help but say, "He obviously has a very good temper... Maybe this is the power that comes with holding power."
She said, glancing at the people around her.
"lady!"
Chu Zhen heard Mother Zou's voice.
She looked up.
Then Cheng Nianying was seen being helped into the door.
I haven't seen you for a long time... Chu Zhen's eyes were dazed for a moment.
What a big gap!
The girl in front of him looked more and more like a noble lady who had been pampered since childhood. Her hair was full of pearls and jade, which was very dazzling.
Chu Zhen paused for a moment, composed herself, and went over to hug Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying raised her hand to hold her back.
Chu Zhen's expression froze.
Cheng Nianying walked in, sat down in the main seat very naturally, and said, "I'm a little dirty."
Chu Zhen didn't quite believe her words. She composed herself again and turned to sit down below Cheng Nianying: "Mom has a lot to say to you..."
Cheng Nianying was very knowledgeable and tactful. She immediately nodded and dismissed the people around her, leaving only Mother Zou behind.
Chu Zhen took in all her actions and felt even more solemn.
She has become accustomed to being the princess of a county.
Chu Zhen exhaled, and when she looked up again, her eyes were red. "Why are you sick? Have you been too hard these days? Can you sleep well at night? Can you swallow your food?"
"Mother really... really can't bear to see you like this."
Chu Zhen took a deep breath, as if she had made a very difficult decision: "Change it back!"
