Chapter 133 His New Wife
The road to Dazhou is rugged and mountainous.
The horse was riding too fast and Ning Fu felt a bit bumpy and unstable, so Zong Si put one hand on her waist.
"When the prince arrives in Dazhou, will there be someone to pick him up?" Ning Fu asked after hesitating for a moment.
Zong Si responded: "My people are in Dazhou now, but they have lost contact with me."
"What are your plans for the future, my lord?" Nymph asked.
Zong Si said nothing.
Ning Fu also realized that this question was too private. Since she was now working for Meng Yuan, it was impossible for him to be completely unaware of it. It was right for him to be vigilant.
"I crossed the line." Nymph said.
Zong Si said, "Now of course I have to take care of my health first. Your Majesty is keeping a close eye on me, so I shouldn't act rashly for the time being. Your Majesty is seriously ill now, and he may not be able to do anything to me in a while. As for the Northland, I'm not here, and my father is not here, the Hu people will not miss this opportunity, and Your Majesty will know if the Northland can be defended by someone else."
Nymph was horrified when she heard this.
It turns out that Zong Si is also aware of Emperor Jingwen's current condition. Once his illness is made public, it would be tantamount to telling everyone that he will soon lose power, and the ministers in the court will also have their own little thoughts.
A seriously ill king cannot match the power of the crown prince, so it is easy for him to rebel at this time.
By then, the court will be in chaos, and if there is war outside, it will be a big blow to Dayan.
If Meng Ze became the crown prince, he would certainly not want this situation of internal and external chaos to occur before he ascended the throne, otherwise he would have to bear the responsibility. Even if Emperor Jingwen did not let go of Prince Xuan's Palace, Meng Ze would compromise with Prince Xuan's Palace for the sake of peace before he ascended the throne.
"Your Highness told me all this. If one day I ruin your plans, you won't kill me, right?" Ning Fu said half-truthfully.
"You won't disregard my life." Zong Si said seriously, "As for the rest, they are just external matters. If things go wrong, I will think of a way to make up for it."
Now his life also belongs to her. If she ruined his plans just for the sake of her position, he would naturally not pursue the matter.
"I hope the prince can remember this life-saving grace." Ning Fu said.
Zong Si found it somewhat funny. Now when he looked at her, he just thought she was cute.
It takes about two hours from Huaishuo to Dazhou.
Halfway through the journey, the two found a stall and had a bowl of vegetarian noodles.
Both of them were dressed in black and looked like they were not someone to be trifled with, so no one dared to approach them.
"I heard that the court sent ministers to Dazhou. The prefect has been very busy these days."
"Which lord is it?"
"I only know that his surname is Lu. He came to supervise the construction of the road between Huaishuo and Dazhou. The people in the capital think the progress is too slow."
Ning Fu knew that they were discussing Lu Xingzhi, so she listened attentively for a while.
Zong Si put down his chopsticks, looked at her quietly, and asked in a deep voice: "Is it Lu Xingzhi?"
Nymph came back to her senses, looked at him, and did not deny it.
"You bought the clothes I'm wearing for Mr. Lu, right?" He quickly guessed the whole story, and his good mood disappeared a little. But when he remembered that he was here to protect her, he could accept it to some extent.
Ning Fu was struggling with how to start the conversation when she heard Zong Si say, "You don't have to be so careful in front of me."
What she was afraid of was that he would target Lu Xingzhi.
"As long as you are here, I won't make things difficult for him." Zong Si understood her thoughts and said lightly.
When the two arrived in Dazhou, it was already late.
As soon as she entered the city, Nymph saw people wearing all kinds of strange costumes. Just as the rumors said, the people here were a mixed bunch.
Ning Fu was brought into a house by Zong Si. The people inside seemed to be just ordinary merchants.
The environment was unfamiliar, so she was a little restrained. Especially since her appearance seemed very eye-catching, the maid looked at her curiously.
"Take the girl to take a bath." Zong Si gave the order while talking to someone.
Nymph was led to the soup room by her maid.
"Madam, do you need me to scrub your body?" the maid asked her respectfully.
The maid naturally did not know Zong Si’s true identity. She probably just thought he was a distinguished guest and regarded herself as his wife.
Nymph didn't deny it, she just nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
After half a month of tension, she was naturally exhausted, and she leaned against the bathtub, drowsy.
"Young lady and Mr. Fu, have you just gotten married?" the maid asked curiously.
Mr. Fu is probably Zong Si's pseudonym.
"How do you know?"
"Mr. Fu always came alone before. This is the first time I see him bringing a girl with him. Many maids in the mansion liked him before, but Mr. Fu was always cold to him." said the maid.
Nymph said: "He has such a cold personality."
The maid asked: "How did Madam know Master Fu?"
This matter cannot be disclosed.
Nymph then made up a lie: "My aunt wanted to sell me, but he saw that I was beautiful and kept me by his side. Later he married me, and I was grateful for his life-saving grace, so I agreed to his will."
"Madam, you are not at a disadvantage either. Master Fu is handsome and wealthy. I just don't know how he got hurt this time."
Nymph stopped talking and seemed to be asleep.
The maid didn't ask any more questions.
When Ning Fu saw Zong Si again, he had also changed his clothes. The two maids beside him were asking about his well-being, but he was too lazy to respond and exuded coldness.
"Do you want to go down and rest first?" When Zong Si saw her, the coldness disappeared and he asked her in a low voice.
Ningfu looked at the two girls and realized that it was not convenient to talk about private matters.
"We don't need you to serve us here." Zong Si said.
The maid helped Ning Fu and said, "Mrs. Fu is here, and you are still here. How can you be so rude?"
Zong Si looked at Ning Fu with soft eyes and a hint of smile on his lips.
"Mr. Fu, Madam Fu, I'll leave first." said the maid.
"Are you pretending to be surnamed Fu in order to borrow the name of the Fu family?" Ning Fu asked.
"My last name is Fu. People can tell at a glance that I'm a businessman and won't think too much about it." Zong Si said.
“When can I leave?”
Zong Si said: "I will arrange a carriage for you and take you back."
Ning Fu pondered for a moment and said, "I was thinking about meeting Lu Xingzhi."
Zong Si was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll have someone write a letter to him."
"Okay." Nymph said, "I'll go down and rest first."
Zong Si nodded, "Go ahead."
Ningfu walked out, but before she had taken a few steps, she heard him call out, "Afu."
She turned around, only to see the man pull her into his arms and kiss her deeply.
Zong Si's kiss was eager and passionate, as if he was no longer willing to endure it. He held her waist with one hand and hooked her chin with the other.
Ningfu didn't dare to push him casually, as he was covered in wounds.
Zong Si's emotions were out of control.
There was nothing he liked more than this.
He was unwilling to let go of such a good person like Afu.
Even if he has to pay a lot.
Now he is willing to give her whatever she wants.
