Getting closer.
Could someone have broken into the Regent's residence?
This palace is a large house with six courtyards. Even if someone really sneaks in, it shouldn't be difficult. Fu Tong'er was thinking in her heart when the quilt was suddenly lifted.
The crouching Fu Tong'er was startled. She looked up and saw Jiu Ye, wearing a robe. He stood with his back to the moonlight, his tall figure making it difficult to see his face.
"What are you afraid of?"
Lu Zhenzhi sat down, took off his shoes and clothes, sat on the bed, and held Fu Tong'er in his arms. He didn't say anything for a long time, just sat there, leaning against the head of the bed.
Fu Tong'er hugged him and said, "Where did Brother Lu Jin go? I was scared to death when I woke up and didn't see you."
Lu Zhenzhi did not answer. He lay down with a heavy heart, holding Fu Tong'er's smooth body with one hand and resting the other hand under his head. He stared at the carvings on the ceiling of the bed with his eyes open.
"Brother Lu Jin~"
Lu Zhenzhi lowered his eyes to look at Fu Tong'er who had climbed up and was lying on him. He raised his hand to touch her head, covered her smooth shoulders with the quilt, and said calmly: "It's okay." He paused for a second, "Tong'er,"
"Hmm?" Fu Tong'er's tone was full of dependence.
The man did not respond to her immediately, but gently stroked her back, shoulders, neck, hair and the back of her head.
"Do you know what kind of man you have chosen? Do you really intend to be with me for the rest of my life?"
Jiu Ye received a letter from the Marquis of Dingnan, Pingxi, of Shangyang Commandery, stating that Concubine Shu was there. Concubine Shu was Jiu Ye's mother, and the letter was a subtle threat to him. The Marquis of Dingnan had long dreamed of becoming emperor, and it was unclear if this was related to the official silver shipwreck case.
Fu Tong'er was stunned. She felt something was wrong. Her eyes widened, and she didn't know how to respond. Jiu Ye was her first man. Leaving him would be like asking for her life. She was only eighteen. How could she forget someone she had loved for three years?
She raised her body again, rubbed in front of the man, and said with a forced smile: "What does Jiu Ye want to say?"
In the darkness, looking at Fu Tong'er's smiling face that was uglier than crying, Lu Zhenzhi smiled slightly. He stroked Fu Tong'er's ears, hugged her and laid her on his body again, saying gently:
"Nothing. Since you have chosen to follow me, you must bear all the hardships together."
Fu Tong'er listened to this and reached out to hug the man's body: "So, just now, Master Jiu did think about pushing me away, right?"
Lu Zhenzhi hummed.
This sound made Fu Tong'er's nose feel sore all of a sudden.
"Then, then why..." Fu Tong'er took a deep breath, "Why did you change your mind again?"
Lu Zhenzhi heard Fu Tong'er's choked voice, grabbed his hand and said: "I remembered that I stamped your private seal. No one else can touch my woman." Lu Zhenzhi said it naturally.
Silence.
"Brother Lu Jin~" Fu Tong'er shouted, "You went out so late just now, you went, went..."
Hearing this stuttering, Lu Zhenzhi turned around, propped up his head, and looked straight at Fu Tong'er. Fu Tong'er immediately covered her chest, staring at Jiu Ye with her big eyes in the dark night.
He lowered his eyes to glance at the obstructed area and said seriously, "Why are you blocking it? It's not like I haven't seen it before."
"Brother Lu Jin is a hooligan!"
Lu Zhenzhi smiled faintly, took his arm back from the quilt, stroked Fu Tong'er's mouth and said, "Tong'er likes calling me 'Brother Lu Jin' more and more now."
"I... Master Jiu..."
"Call me 'Brother Lujin', Xiaotong'er."
Jiu Ye raised his hand, grabbed Fu Tong'er's hand that was blocking his chest, and slowly lowered it...
Fu Tong'er had no shelter in front of her, so she hid in Lu Zhenzhi's arms out of shame. She raised her head, then lowered it again: "Brother Lu Jin, what happened?"
"Yes." Lu Zhenzhi responded, "Marquis Pingxi Dingnan of Shangyang Commandery has detained my mother."
"So, just now, Brother Lu Jin went out for this matter..."
"What do you think, Tong'er?"
"I thought you drank too much wine this afternoon and you would have to pee urgently."
Lu Zhenzhi: “…”
"Brother Lu Jin, are you afraid of him? Um...Hou Wang, Brother Lu Jin is a god of war who has slain many cities. Why don't you just send troops?"
