Chapter 53 No clue
When Lin Fu returned to Yu's study, Emperor Yongping was already holding Chu Qinshu and reading a pile of memorials.
When he saw him come in, he asked, "Is the Queen awake?"
"He's awake. The imperial physician has asked the female doctor to feed him medicine."
After Lin Fu finished answering, he waited for Emperor Yongping to ask more questions.
There are some things that he doesn't know how to say no to unless his master asks.
Especially the two guards he was asked to interrogate.
"Is the Queen okay?"
Emperor Yongping really continued to ask, but it was not the question that Lin Fu wanted him to ask.
"In reply to the emperor, of course there is a commotion. The Empress wants to move to Fengyi Palace. I advised her to recuperate first, so she gave up for now. I'm afraid she will tell you about this again when she recovers."
Lin Fu knew that Emperor Yongping would not let the Empress live in Fengyi Palace, so it would be useless for her to make a fuss.
Ever since she had been tormented for two consecutive days on the first and second days of this month, Lin Fu knew that Emperor Yongping no longer liked her.
"Well, ask everyone to leave. I have something to ask you."
Emperor Yongping wanted to ask about the two imperial guards, but he didn't want anyone to hear him.
If this matter were to get out, he would lose all his reputation.
Lin Fu responded and drove out all the palace maids and eunuchs serving in Yu's study.
"emperor......"
Everyone had left and the main gate and side gates had been closed before Lin Fucai reminded Emperor Yongping.
"Have they recruited the two guards?"
Emperor Yongping asked.
"Your Majesty, you asked me to interrogate those two imperial guards, but was it about the fire in Fengming Palace?
The Imperial Guard patrols could not enter the inner palace, and the palace gate was also some distance away from Fengming Palace. When they arrived, they could not see why the Fengming Palace was flooded. "
Lin Fu carefully reported the results of his interrogation.
There was a fire in Fengming Palace. Doesn’t the emperor know the reason?
Why do we have to go through so much trouble to interrogate the Imperial Guards?
"Let Fengming Palace burn down. I am asking about the two of them and the Queen."
Emperor Yongping looked a little unnatural, but when Lin Fu looked up at him, he had already regained his original majesty.
"Ah? This..."
Lin Fu doesn’t know how to do this. He really doesn’t know how to do this.
He had just checked those two Imperial Guards and found that they were not yet twenty years old and had been in the Imperial Guard for less than three years.
How is this related to the Empress?
Don’t the families behind them want them anymore?
Besides, the Queen is already twenty-six years old this year, how could she be interested in both of them?
Oh, why does he think about this?
Love between men and women doesn't seem to have much to do with age, right?
Bah, I'm still thinking in the wrong direction.
"Why, they don't recognize it?"
Emperor Yongping was a little unhappy when he saw that Lin Fu had been silent for a long time.
"In reply to your Majesty, I didn't ask them this just now. Your Majesty, it's not easy to ask directly about this matter. It's better to let Long Wei investigate privately."
Lin Fu really wanted to ask Emperor Yongping how he knew there was something going on between these two and the Empress.
He followed him every day, but never noticed any clues.
"Well, lock him up first... maybe in a side hall of Yu's study."
Emperor Yongping actually had no idea, but he always felt that if the Empress made trouble, his cuckoldry would be exposed.
Lin Fu did not tie up the two guards. He simply sent them to a side hall, locked the door and left.
Those who could enter the palace to serve as the imperial guards either had aunts or sisters in the harem, or uncles or brothers in the previous dynasty, and their family backgrounds were all clean.
Unless they want to rebel, they will never dare to escape.
Besides, even he could see that they arrested these two people impulsively today, and they might want to let them go after a while.
......
Although the fire in Fengming Palace was put out quickly, only some valuable items and fire-resistant objects such as copper and jade were rescued.
The palace, whose main body was made of wood, was reduced to ashes by the raging fire in full view of the public.
The sky was dark and the fire was out.
The eunuchs, palace servants and guards who had put out the fire all left the former palace in disgrace and dust, with only the outer walls remaining.
Emperor Yongping confirmed that the matter of Fengming Palace was over, and then he asked Lin Fu to personally lead people to send Chu Qinshu and Yao Ma back to the East Palace.
Chu Chengyi and Chu Yanjing, father and son, had been waiting at the gate of Jinseyuan early to pick up Chu Qinshu because of the matter at Fengming Palace.
Seeing Lin Fu appear with the baby in his arms, they all pushed their wheelchairs forward to take him.
Yes, Chu Chengyi not only sat in a wheelchair, but also wore half a mask.
He was badly injured in the assassinations in Jingzhou and Heishankou, leaving scars on his face.
It took only ten days of treatment for the patient to be able to sit in a wheelchair, and it took Dr. Cheng a lot of effort to achieve this.
Doctor Cheng: I really put a lot of effort into making up fake medical records. I almost got my head bald from writing so many.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Jing."
Lin Fu looked at the wheelchairs of the father and son, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Is it really necessary to be so showy? Even the wheelchair is made into a parent-child style?
Why don’t you give Prince Jing a similar mask?
"Eunuch Lin, please let me hold the little princess."
Chu Chengyi interrupted Lin Fu's complaints in a gentle tone.
Seeing that he had stretched out his hand, Lin Fu hurriedly handed the swaddling clothes in his arms to him.
She waited until he felt comfortable before removing her hand.
"Now that the little princess has been safely sent back to the East Palace, I will go back to serve the emperor."
Lin Fu bowed and waited for Chu Chengyi to nod before he turned around and left with the eunuchs.
"Father, can you please let me hug my sister?"
As soon as he entered the warm room, Chu Yanjing's eyes were envied.
It's true that he comes to see his sister every day. In the first half of the month, he was able to see her five times out of ten times.
But in the second half of the month, he came here ten times and didn't see anyone.
“Aa ...
[Shu'er has returned to her mother's yard? Is it Daddy who is holding Shu'er? Yes, it smells like Daddy. This mask is so handsome. Huh? Why is Daddy also sitting in a wheelchair like big brother?
They must have not listened to Shu'er and refused to drink her bath water, so they have been sick all the time. Mother, the Emperor and the Third Uncle are the best people to take care of them.
They all listened to Shu'er's instructions and drank her bath water, so Mother was not sick, and the health of the Emperor and the Third Uncle was getting better and better. 】
“Ahhhh~ wow~ wow~ wow~”
[My disobedient father and brother, I don’t want them to hold me. Mother, mother, I want you.]
Chu Qinshu was not in a bad mood when she woke up, but she was unhappy when Chu Chengyi and Chu Yanjing didn't listen to her.
So, this was the first time she got angry when she woke up since she was born.
Chu Chengyi couldn't be comforted no matter how hard he tried.
Chu Yanjing was at a loss when he saw her crying.
"Don't cry, sister. Are you thirsty and want to drink some water?"
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and asked the eunuch to bring a glass of water, which he took and drank.
"Well, big brother tested the water temperature for me. It's not hot. I'll give it a try."
Chu Yanjing moved the cup closer to Chu Qinshu and deliberately exposed a part of his arm and waved it in front of her nose.
Then, he looked at her expectantly.
Sure enough, Chu Qinshu stopped crying.
“Ahh~”
[Big brother, hold me, big brother, hold me, Shu'er wants big brother to hold her. ]
Chu Qinshu didn't want to drink water, so she didn't move towards the cup.
But she became a little confused when she smelled the scent of her bath water on Chu Yanjing.
Did she misunderstand?
Is Chu Yanjing drinking her bath water?
