Fu Tong'er said this and turned to step out of the door. As soon as she raised her foot, she felt unsatisfied and turned around and walked quickly towards Lan'er who was kneeling on the ground.
"What are you doing!" Lan Er sat on the ground and backed away. "Don't come over here!" She said, grabbing Lu Zhenzhi's foot. Lu Zhenzhi pulled it out and moved aside.
Fu Tong'er stretched out her hand and let Lu Zhenzhi hold it naturally, then raised her foot and kicked Lan'er in the lower abdomen!
"Ah!" Lan'er screamed.
"Since you are the Regent Prince's mistress, it is only natural that you should take this kick for him!"
Lu Zhenzhi: "..." He waited until Fu Tong'er stood firmly before letting her go.
Fu Tong'er then lectured Lu Zhenzhi, "Remember to turn off the lights when you exercise tonight, Prince Regent! She's in such a state, no man would even look at her in a brothel." With that, she turned and left. She couldn't bear to hit Jiu Ye, but she could still hit Lan'er. With her black hair flowing, she looked like a woman as graceful as the wind in Lu Zhenzhi's eyes.
After Fu Tong'er left, facing Lan'er, who was crying non-stop and covered in whip marks, Lu Zhenzhi said coldly: "From today on, you will receive your wages and leave."
"Nineth Master! Master! Master!"
Lu Zhenzhi left Lan'er, walked out of the hall and went to the east wing.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Fu Tong'er packing her things.
Lu Zhenzhi stood at the door, looking at the busy Fu Tong'er and Qiao'er who was standing aside silently with an embarrassed look on her face.
"What is she doing!" Lu Zhenzhi asked Qiao'er.
"Master Jiu, the young lady said she wants to move out," Qiao'er stammered, "and she wants to part ways with Master Jiu."
After hearing this, Lu Zhenzhi stood at the door, silent for a moment, and said calmly: "It's dark now, where are we moving to?"
Fu Tong'er stopped what she was doing, put the things back where they belonged, and called out, "Qiao'er, serve the food. I'm hungry. Have someone bring the medicine as well." She then ordered Jiu Ye to leave, "Prince Regent, please go back."
"Yes, miss." Qiao'er went out and closed the door.
"Hmph, Your Majesty the Regent, please go back..." Lu Zhenzhi pondered these words, walked behind Fu Tong'er, and hugged her from behind: "I shouldn't have kept it from you, and I shouldn't have taken advantage of your feelings. Don't be angry, girl."
Fu Tong'er remained silent, neither responding nor expressing her opinion.
If a woman spoke, there would still be a way to solve the problem, but if she didn't speak, it would be really frustrating. Lu Zhenzhi didn't get any response from Fu Tong'er. Although he hugged her, he felt like there was a mountain between them.
Fu Tong'er broke free from Lu Zhenzhi's hand, walked to open the door, and shouted: "Someone come!"
A maid came over: "Miss Fu."
"Take your Regent Prince's things away from me!"
Lu Zhenzhi listened to the regent prince on the left and the regent prince on the right... This girl was going to draw a clear line with him completely!
The maid looked embarrassed and glanced at Lu Zhenzhi. Seeing him nod slightly, she walked in and brought out a stack of memorials, books, and imperial petitions.
"Calm down for one night." Lu Zhenzhi said as he walked past Fu Tong'er, stepped over the threshold and left.
Qiao'er brought dinner and some medicine. Fu Tong'er struggled to eat, tears streaming down her face, but she forced herself to finish. That night, she went to bed early.
The next day, when she opened her eyes, the quilt was still cold and the sky was still dim. She got up, put on her clothes, and called Qiao'er in to help her pack her things.
Qiao'er sent someone to the palace in advance to inform the Ninth Master and ask him to return home as soon as possible after the court session.
Lu Zhenzhi sat in the imperial court, one step below Emperor Jing of Yan, listening attentively to the officials' reports on local affairs. Emperor Jing, having taken the newly arrived elixir from the East Factory yesterday, seemed drowsy.
"Ninth brother," Emperor Jing of Yan called out.
Lu Zhenzhi stood up and clasped his fists: "Royal brother."
"You are the regent. You make the decisions on court affairs. I will go back first. If you have any important matters, please come to my bedroom to find me."
Emperor Jing got a new elixir and was eager to try it out. He wanted to become an immortal more than the court.
"Yes, I respectfully send you off, my brother." Lu Zhenzhi said respectfully, and all the officials also respectfully sent Emperor Jing off.
After Emperor Jing left, the court officially fell into a suffocating silence. The real ruler, the Prince Regent, officially attended the court!
Every one of the officials held their heads and hearts in their hands, cautious and not daring to say a single word. More than the incompetent Emperor Jing, what they truly feared was the Regent, who sat in the imperial court, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of Great Yan!
At this moment, a man came to the Palace of Supreme Harmony at full speed and asked to see the Regent.
A eunuch quickly came up, climbed the steps into the hall, and reported to Lu Zhenzhi: "Prince Regent, someone from your residence said there is something important."
"Announcement." Lu Zhenzhi's first thought was that Fu Tong'er was still angry about the ring. He could be so majestic in the court, as if he was the ruler of the Jing Emperor, but when he heard the news about the girl in the mansion, his head began to buzz.
The eunuch uttered a cry and quickly brought the person up. The person whispered in Lu Zhenzhi's ear: "Master, Miss Fu has packed her things and is preparing to leave the house. Qiao'er asked you to return quickly."
It’s that girl!
Lu Zhenzhi asked the man to stand aside, and then said to all the officials: "Officials above the third rank, come to my palace to discuss matters. Everyone else, if you have matters to report, please submit your memorials to my palace. Court is dismissed!"
Everyone knelt and bowed, sighing without saying a word. Their bodies and minds were instantly freed from their shackles. With the Regent Prince gone, who would bother to get close to him?
…
Prince Chun's Mansion
General Yi came to look for Master Jiu, but he was not there. He then saw Fu Tong'er moving luggage in the east wing of the compound, and her maid Qiao'er was looking anxiously towards the corridor, apparently waiting for someone.
"Did Miss Fu and Master Jiu have a fight?" General You Yi asked.
Fu Tong'er sat on the box, panting: "He, he might be, relying on being more than ten years older than me, he plays me like a chess piece. I want to break up with him!"
You Yi said, "Nineth Master is already over thirty, so it's true that he has some tricks up his sleeve. If Miss Fu is feeling down, I have a good place to go. I wonder if she enjoys listening to opera. I have a friend who owns a theater, and Wu Moxiang, the city's top vocalist, often performs there."
At this time, Lu Zhenzhi came over from the corridor, took a look at the boxes that Fu Tong'er had packed, and saw that his vanguard general You Yi was also there, so he asked: "You Yi, what brings you to this palace?"
You Yi said, "Greetings, Master Jiu! I was passing by Master Jiu's residence and came to visit specially."
Lu Zhenzhi looked him up and down, then nodded slightly. He turned to look at Fu Tong'er and said, "Why? Waiting for me to come back and see you move?"
