Chapter 35 My cousin is very good
Fu Ruiming moved his lips: "It's me..."
No matter what, it was his negligence in not bringing his men with him that led to this result today, and even forced his cousin's wife to take off her cloak to help him.
Before Fu Ruiming finished speaking, Cheng Nianying spoke first: "Give him a bag to hold his arrows."
Wu Xun clapped his hands and suddenly realized: "That's a good idea!"
After hearing these words, Zou's mother collapsed.
She said, "The Princess of the County is capable, she is capable!" Not a single word she said was nonsense!
"The thief is so bold that he chose to commit the crime here. It is understandable that you are so anxious and have no time to choose." Fu Yi spoke slowly.
Fu Ruiming felt relieved. His brother hadn't been blaming him just now. With so many eyes watching, it was better to openly point out their rationale rather than let others secretly suspect him.
"Give it to me." Fu Yi stretched out his hand.
Fu Ruiming immediately handed him the cloak.
"What are you still standing there for? Support Lord Fu and go back to the mansion first. There are imperial physicians in the mansion." Fu Yi glanced at the people around him.
Immediately, two servants ran forward and held Fu Ruiming on both sides.
He gasped, "Master Fu's arrow wound is not light..."
Fortunately, Prince Danshuo was blessed by the emperor and had an imperial physician stationed in his mansion.
"We came in a hurry..." Fu Yi said, signaling the guards to put down the sedan chair.
Then, supported by Wu Xun, he slowly came to Cheng Nianying.
He stretched out his hand towards Cheng Nianying: "Can you still walk?"
She came in a hurry, so she didn't bring any other maids with her.
But Cheng Nianying didn't dare ask him to help her.
Cheng Nianying hesitated and put her hand on it, without exerting any force, just shaking hands loosely, and then jumped down from the already tilted carriage.
Fu Yi took Cheng Nianying's hand and slowly walked back to the sedan chair.
"sit."
He took Cheng Nianying with him on the sedan chair.
The cloak was casually draped over the armrest.
"Let's go." Fu Yi nodded.
The guards lifted the sedan chair again.
The commander of the Divine Guards rode up to them and said politely, "Once we capture him, we'll immediately send him to the Prince's Mansion."
"Thank you for your hard work, Commander Jiang." Fu Yi gave a very standard smile.
"It's my job, why would I say it's hard?" Commander Jiang turned his head and said, "Go, escort the prince back to his mansion."
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately sent out a small group of imperial guards to guard both sides.
As for Mother Zou and others at the back, there were other people to guide and comfort them.
Cheng Nianying sat on the sedan chair, her eyes moving silently.
So high.
When she took a look, she had the illusion that everyone in the world was bowing their heads.
The space on the sedan chair is not wide.
With the addition of her, she was almost pressed against Prince Danshuo.
As a result, whenever the prince spoke to others, she could faintly feel the vibration coming from his chest.
At the same time, I listened to the Divine Guards climbing up the roof to hunt down the Dong brothers, making the tiles clatter under their feet. The sound of horses' hooves and human voices mixed with the tense atmosphere.
They were like two worlds separated from each other.
Cheng Nianying looked up.
She was once the one on the run from the pursuers.
"Is the palace banquet interesting?" Fu Yi asked suddenly.
Cheng Nianying came back to her senses: "Interesting."
"Happy? You've been drinking."
The second half of the sentence is not a question, but an affirmative sentence.
Cheng Nianying couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her lips. She asked, "Does it smell like alcohol?"
"have."
Cheng Nianying was stunned. Why did it smell like alcohol? She had originally suspected something was wrong with the water, so she made herself look like she had been drinking.
Her nose twitched and she sniffed it herself.
Still smelled nothing.
Fu Yi saw her actions and found it funny: "Are you drunk?"
Cheng Nianying shook her head.
Fu Yi suppressed his smile and said, "Luckily, I arrived in time. Otherwise, given your current state, something bad would have happened."
But her mind is still so clear.
Fu Yi: "Close your eyes."
So Cheng Nianying closed her eyes.
After a while, she opened her eyes again and couldn't help asking, "Why are you closing your eyes?"
Fu Yi's smile grew wider: "Of course I'm resting with my eyes closed."
Only then did Cheng Nianying realize that she had said something stupid.
She closed her eyes again and said nothing more.
She waited until she felt the guards clearly carrying the sedan chair up the stairs, and she knew she had returned to the Prince's Mansion. She opened her eyes again and couldn't help asking, "Do I stink?"
She still remembered the first time they met on their wedding day. Prince Danshuo always wiped his hands clean. Later, when he wiped her hands, he was also very careful. It was obvious that this man had a strong intolerance for dirt.
Drinking alcohol will make you smell bad.
"The palace loves to drink 'September Return', which is made by adding osmanthus flowers to the wine. Now you smell like osmanthus flowers." Fu Yi said.
Only then did Cheng Nianying feel relieved. She supported her head with one hand and stopped talking completely.
At this time, the lights in Prince Danshuo's mansion were bright, and countless servants came out to greet them.
Cheng Nianying was handed over to Nanny Shi.
The maid held a new cloak in her hand and hurriedly put it on her, and everyone pushed her inside.
Cheng Nianying couldn't help but turn her head to look at Fu Yi's departing figure.
Nanny Shi hurriedly said, "They must have gone to visit Master Fu. Master Fu was sent here first. Did he have an arrow wound? It looks serious."
Cheng Nianying said: "He was injured because he stood in front of me."
This was the first person to take the blame for her.
Although she didn't need it.
"Princess, there's no need to be sad. It wasn't you who caused Lord Fu's injury. It's all that villain's fault!"
Nanny Shi paused, then asked, "Today in the palace..." She lowered her voice, "Did Princess Kang give you any trouble?"
"I didn't even have time to say a word."
"That's good," Madam Shi suggested. "Take a hot bath and use some grapefruit leaves to get rid of the bad luck."
Before Cheng Nianying nodded, she heard cheers coming from far away: "We caught him! We caught the thief!"
"Go and report to the Prince!"
Cheng Nianying's heart skipped a beat.
So fast?

When Fu Yi went to Fu Ruiming, the imperial physician was bleeding Fu Ruiming.
Seeing Fu Yi coming in, the imperial physician took a moment to raise his head and said, "Master, the arrow is poisonous."
Fu Yi had no expression under the candlelight: "I shouldn't have sent you."
Fu Ruiming's lips were completely white, but he was still able to support his upper body and talk to Fu Yi: "Brother, if I didn't go, my cousin's wife would have died there today."
Wu Xun said anxiously, "How can you be more important than Master Fu? You are the master's brother."
Fu Ruiming was stunned for a moment, and squeezed out a voice from his throat: "I'm afraid my cousin's wife will be sad when she hears this."
Wu Xun thought to himself, "Well, you don't know where she comes from."
Fu Ruiming whispered, "I used to think that the daughter of the Wuning Marquisate was not worthy of you, but now I think she is quite good and a good match for you."
These words shocked Wu Xun.
Fu Ruiming is a man of few words and usually as cold as an iceberg. Coming from his mouth, these words can be regarded as the highest praise!
Where is it good?
All right.
It's kind of cute.
But maybe that was all an act?
Fu Yi ignored their argument and asked the imperial physician, "Is the heart meridian injured?"
"It's all right, all right. Master Fu used the belt just in time. But it was a little too tight. My leg will be lame for a few days."
Fu Ruiming suddenly said, "My cousin's wife bandaged my wound."
Wu Xun looked surprised and was about to say something.
Fu Yi spoke up: "Then you should thank her."
Fu Ruiming nodded: "I will go and thank my cousin's wife after my injury is healed."
Fu Yi asked someone to put down the herbs: "You should rest well. You don't need to move for the time being. Just recuperate in the Prince's Mansion for the time being."
After giving these instructions, Fu Yi took Wu Xun away.
After walking out, Wu Xun's face was filled with confusion. "I've already used that Zhou family's third wife to verify it. The Princess of the County spoke to her naturally, which means that the daughter of the Wuning Marquisate has remained unchanged from beginning to end, and it's not someone else who has replaced her... Otherwise, as the Princess of the County's close friend, the Zhou family's third wife would have exposed her at first sight!"
"But it doesn't make sense. How could a daughter of a former marquis know all this? And how could she remain calm and bandage Master Fu at a moment like this?"
