That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the snow was white.
A group of officers and soldiers came out of the palace and walked down the bridge under the cover of night. They passed Prince Chun's Mansion and headed straight for the house at the end of the road. That was where Fu Tong'er lived. The leading captain waved his hand, indicating that the house should be surrounded.
In the darkness, a figure saw everything, and then without wasting a moment, he entered Prince Chun's palace, walked quickly through several courtyards, and came to Lu Zhenzhi's door.
The lights in the room were still on.
The shadowy figure stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Master Jiu! Something happened to Miss Fu!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.
Lu Zhenzhi put on his clothes and said: "Talk!"
The black shadow told Lu Zhenzhi everything he had just seen.
After hearing this, Lu Zhenzhi clenched his fists and said angrily: "Little bastard!"
In the palace, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
The emperor held a list in his hand.
Fu Tong'er was brought here by officers and soldiers.
"Princess Hui!" the emperor shouted, "I never thought a crude country girl like you could be a member of the Bailian Sect! Your purpose for being a member of this evil cult is to marry into the royal family! Tell me now!"
Fu Tong'er was confused. What kind of people are from Bailian Sect?
At this time, Lu Zhenzhi and two attendants came quickly from the main hall...
"Your Majesty!" Before anyone entered, a voice came first, "What happened?"
When Fu Tong'er heard the voice, she felt relieved. Until she saw Jiu Ye stepping over the threshold, Fu Tong'er began to struggle, but failed to break free. She could only choke and say, "Jiu Ye, I'm really not from the Bailian Sect."
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Lu Zhenzhi's heart ached.
At this moment, Prince Hui Lu Qixuan also rushed over: "Fu Tong'er, what have you done? You actually let the emperor arrest you in the middle of the night...!"
"Back then, the Queen Mother was assassinated, and I obtained a list of names of members of the Bailian Cult! Fu Tong'er, as a member of this evil cult, what is your intention in getting close to the prince?"
A list? Lu Zhenzhi had been a bit anxious at first, but after hearing those two words, he regained his usual composure. He glanced at King Hui, who looked worried and worried. He thought, setting up such a big scheme just to frame a little girl, it showed how much he hated her...
Could it be the Emperor——?
Why did the emperor hate her so much? Even if he thought this girl was unworthy of King Hui, he shouldn't have killed her... who could it be?
Lu Zhenzhi said: "Your Majesty, the authenticity of that list still needs to be verified."
"I have ordered the execution of those on the list. Now only Princess Hui is left!"
Lu Zhenzhi suddenly recalled the tragedy of fifteen years ago, which was so similar to today's. He glanced anxiously at Fu Tong'er lying on the ground, and in a trance, he seemed to see an old friend, ferocious and in pain, trapped in the raging fire.
He couldn't help but hold his forehead, his mind full of the fire fifteen years ago... The heart-wrenching feeling instantly traveled through fifteen years of time and spread throughout his body!
Fu Tong'er shook her head at Jiu Ye and cried, "Jiu Ye, do you believe me? It's not me!"
Lu Zhenzhi took his hand away, opened his eyes, looked into Fu Tong'er's tearful and expectant eyes, and he actually saw "her" in his headache!
The man closed his eyes again—
The girl asked him if he believed her. Of course he did, but someone was trying to kill her, and it was very possible that this person was the same culprit in the case fifteen years ago! That person, that person!
When Lu Zhenzhi looked at the emperor again, he looked like he was going to kill Fu Tong'er, just like he did fifteen years ago! Is the historical tragedy about to repeat itself?
No! You can't!
The sound of "Master Jiu" repeated in his memory caused Lu Zhenzhi to feel a pang of pain in his heart.
Suddenly, he put down his hand and said calmly, "Since Your Majesty has evidence, then put him in jail."
?
Then put him in jail?
The emperor's anger, which had been surging to the point of demanding Fu Tong'er's life, instantly dissipated upon hearing this. He had assumed that his ninth brother had come to the palace so late at night just to discuss matters concerning his niece, Princess Hui, and was about to rebuke him for it. Unexpectedly, he didn't save her.
King Hui did not expect Jiu Ye to do this.
He turned around and looked at the Ninth Prince in surprise. He thought that the Ninth Prince would try his best to stop the man and take him away, but he didn't expect that he would actually "jail" him!
Fu Tong'er collapsed to the ground. Master Jiu, have you given up on her? At dinner that night, he still said those heart-warming words, he even held her on his lap, and he even gently called her "Tong'er"...
It turns out that they are all fake!
At this time, Lu Zhenzhi took off his fur coat and cloak, walked steadily to Fu Tong'er, and covered her with the cloak.
Fu Tong'er glanced at the man indifferently, reached out her hand, grabbed the edge of his fox fur cloak, and with a swish, pulled the cloak off her body and casually placed it between herself and Lu Zhenzhi.
"Uncle Nine, why bother with this?" Fu Tong'er's tone was as cold as a thousand years of ice.
