Ming Zhao
"I wonder if my brother still remembers my personal maid?"
Her personal maid? Fu Changan tried hard to search for this person in his mind, but unfortunately he had no impression of this person.
Xie Yunqing, who was standing by, seemed to have thought of something. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Is it... Cai Ling?"
Fu Mingyue nodded quickly and said, "Yes, it's the ringtone."
Xie Yunqing was puzzled: "But didn't she die of illness? What does this have to do with her?"
When the past was brought up again, Fu Mingyue felt as if she was in an ice cellar without sunlight. Humiliating memories came back to her one after another, as if they were pinching her neck, making her feel suffocated.
"She...did not die of illness."
Didn't she say the maid died of illness? Xie Yunqing was confused. Didn't she say it was her own fault?
Fu Changan continued to sit upright, but his mind was full of thoughts.
Although she grew up in the palace, she was simple and sincere in mind. She thought that the maid's death was probably caused by his noble aunt.
Xie Yunqing beside him continued to ask in confusion, "What about the illness you mentioned earlier?"
Fu Mingyue was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up her mind to reveal this dusty secret to the world:
"At that time, he was the most promising youngest son of the Lin family. He passed the imperial examination at a young age and joined the Hanlin Academy. Everyone said he was a disciple of the emperor and had a bright future."
"But..." Fu Mingyue's eyes slowly turned red again, and her lips trembled slightly. "But fate always seemed to like playing tricks on him. In order to seize the government land, his uncles were so audacious as to forge official seals and documents from the Ministry of Revenue. Once the crime was exposed, the main culprit was executed, and he was demoted to a commoner, and exiled to Hainan Island along with all the adult male members of his family."
"He was clearly in the Holy Lord's good graces at that time! My aunt said... that the Holy Lord praised him as a rare talent, but... but..." She stopped abruptly, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, a wry smile played on her lips.
“When the birds are gone, the good bows are put away; when the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked…”
"Mingyue, be careful with your words!" Xie Yunqing's heart trembled, and he hurriedly interrupted Fu Mingyue's words. He feared that there were ears on the other side of the wall. Even if she was a princess personally appointed by the Holy Lord, so what? The nature of power is cruel and ruthless. Even if the boy from the Lin family has amazing talent, once the fundamentals are touched, he will be ruthlessly kicked out.
Talent? Xie Yunqing shook his head secretly. The Zhaojing Dynasty could not miss such a talent.
Fu Changan sat quietly aside, looking at Fu Mingyue quietly, motioning her to continue.
Fu Mingyue: "I'm sure you all know what happened later! I secretly rescued him from exile and hid him in the palace under the name of my aunt."
"The most dangerous place is the safest place, right?" She looked at Fu Changan with a bitter look, as if seeking confirmation: "Are you right, brother?"
Fu Changan: "A dangerous place is still dangerous after all. There is no absolute safety. If you want to stay safe, you can't rely on luck. You must always be alert and on guard." The same principle applies to leading troops in battle. You must never rely on so-called common sense.
Is that true? Hearing this, Fu Mingyue's guilt seemed to deepen. She paused, took a long breath, and said, "Do you know the Fourth Prince?"
The Fourth Prince? The Fourth Prince who was into homosexuality? Xie Yunqing's heart tightened upon hearing this, as if he had guessed something. His expression was somewhat solemn, and he sat in his chair in silence.
Although Fu Changan was far away at the front line, he had heard about the developments in the capital, but...what did this have to do with that kid from the Lin family?
Fu Mingyue bit her lower lip until it turned pale, then released it in anger. Her stomach felt like it was filled with a heavy object, sinking down. Memories, long buried, flooded back, weighing down her mind, making her dizzy. Tears slowly welled up in her eyes. She spoke with difficulty, her sobs filling the momentarily silent room. "He... he bribed Cailing, drugged Mingzhao, and raped... raped Mingzhao..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Mingyue could no longer control herself and burst into tears. Seeing this, Kuang Ye immediately held Fu Mingyue tightly in his arms and comforted her in a low voice.
Oh my god! It turns out that Ming Zhao's life experience is so tragic. Su Yun lay on the bed with her back raised, sighing silently. She didn't sleep for long. When Fu Changan slammed the table for the first time, she woke up with a start.
If she didn't want to continue listening to this gossip, she would have gone out and scolded that noisy Fu Changan a long time ago.
After sighing, Fu Mingyue's intermittent crying could be heard from outside: "Ming Zhao... left me a letter, telling me not to look for him... I... I don't know where to look for him. I want that Fourth Prince to pay the price, but... but my aunt told me not to make it public, to... to pretend that nothing had happened!"
"But what happened has happened. How can I pretend nothing happened? What should Mingzhao do? How should he cope with it? I can't find Mingzhao anywhere. I can't find him anywhere!"
"Later... later I learned that Ming Zhao, in order to punish himself, willingly entered the Zuichun Pavilion, changed his name to Wu Gou, and willingly degraded himself to accepting customers..."
"When I found him, he told me that he had lost the meaning of living and was filled with endless pain and self-loathing. That's why I gave him a new name, Ming Zhao."
The long summer is coming, but the future is bright. The coming months will surely be full of good luck and hope, and all the years to come will be full of good luck.
Su Yunwei silently recalled the frail man lying on the bed. His eyes clearly showed a strong will to survive. Perhaps... he still wanted to live. After all, only by living could he have a chance to turn things around.
No matter how big the difficulties, how big the problems, or how sad and tragic the things are, as long as you are alive, as long as you live well, as long as you have this life, there will be a way out for everything.
Su Yunwei couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply lifted the quilt and got up quickly. As soon as she stuck her head out, she saw Fu Changan's eyes on her.
Does he have eyes at the back of his head? Su Yunwei silently complained to herself. Otherwise, he was clearly facing away from her, so how could he immediately notice that she had turned around when she appeared?
Su Yunwei had not woken up yet and had not slept well, and was woken up by him. She glanced at him angrily and said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beautiful woman get up?" Then she walked straight towards Fu Mingyue.
Fu Changan slowly turned his head along with her movements, but he only felt that he enjoyed her scolding.
After Su Yunwei appeared, Xie Yunqing kept paying attention to Fu Changan's little movements. It was over. This iron tree had already blossomed and borne fruit. If he didn't pick the fruit, he was afraid it would wither.
Su Yunwei didn't care about the looks from the other two men. She approached Fu Mingyue, who was being hugged tightly by Kuang Ye, hesitated for a moment, and said seriously, "Mingyue, let me first apologize for my improper behavior."
Fu Mingyue, who was sobbing and hugging Kuang Ye tightly, slowly pulled away from his chest. Su Yunwei's figure was a little blurry in her tearful eyes. She was stunned for a moment. Apologize? What did she have to apologize for? She was the only one who was wrong.
"I used to think you were a client of prostitutes, but now it seems you are a good person who truly treats his friends well."
Good guy? Fu Mingyue looked at Su Yunwei with a sad look in her eyes. She wiped away her tears and said in a hoarse voice: "I should be the one to say sorry. If it weren't for me..."
"Alright. Let the past be the past!" Su Yunwei knew what she was going to say, but the events of her time travel had already happened. If she couldn't change it, then she had to accept it! Solve it! Tame it! Self-pity was useless! It would only make people trapped in the predicament.
"The same goes for Ming Zhao's case. You were trying to save him in the beginning. No one wanted what happened later to happen. It's not your fault. The one who started it all should pay the price."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman in front of him suddenly broke free from her embrace and rushed towards him, hugging him tightly. Her waist was clamped tightly, and Su Yunwei was a little breathless.
"Thank you, Weiwei, thank you so much."
Then another whimpering sound was heard.
Is she really that tearful? Or does she just lose control easily when it comes to Ming Zhao?
Su Yunwei didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only look at Kuang Ye behind Fu Mingyue. Seeing that he was just staring at Fu Mingyue nervously, she had to turn her head and cast a look at Fu Changan for help. The man immediately understood and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Fu Mingyue, throwing her to Kuang Ye, saying in a deep voice: "Comfort her."
A soft body was suddenly stuffed into his arms, and Kuang Ye was stunned for a moment. Did his brother-in-law...recognize him? ... It was not until Fu Mingyue's hoarse voice came from under his eyes that he came back to his senses.
"Brother, can you promise to take Weiwei with me to treat Mingzhao?"
"Just agree to it! I'm the one who's treating your good friend, not your brother!" Su Yunwei responded immediately, muttering a few words in dissatisfaction: What does your brother have to do with it?
Every word of the murmur reached Fu Changan's ears, but strangely, he only thought the woman in front of him was extremely cute, and had no other thoughts. He stared at the woman's gentle face in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Yunwei raised her gaze upwards and met a pair of deep, dark eyes. She couldn't help but wonder, "Does this handsome guy have a serious illness? Is he nearsighted? Otherwise, why does he always look at me like that?"
In broad daylight, Fu Changan dared to look at the girl he loved so blatantly. Xie Yunqing's mouth twitched slightly. It turned out that being alone was the best way to describe himself at the moment. He smiled bitterly to himself and shook his head, then coughed a few times to cover up his unnaturalness at being alone.
Xie Yunqing's dry cough was heard, and Fu Chang'an's scattered thoughts gradually returned to normal. He glanced at Su Yunwei, then set his gaze on Fu Mingyue and said, "You can go see the doctor, but... you have to take me with you."
Su Yunwei: “???”
This guy? What's wrong with him?
