"What did you just say?"
"I said I was going out, didn't you say you would follow me?"
"Are you... so easy to talk to?" An Tingyu raised her willow-shaped eyebrows slightly, wanting to say if he was crazy, but she changed her mind when the words came to her lips.
After breakfast, she returned to her room, but as soon as she entered the room, Fu Mo came and told her where he was going and asked her to get ready.
However, she was a little uncomfortable with Fu Mo's sudden ease of talking.
"If you want to say that I'm crazy, just say it. You're not the first one to say that anyway." Fu Mo said lightly.
"Haha!" An Tingyu laughed dryly, then changed the subject: "Where do you want to go?"
"Just follow me!" Fu Mo didn't answer, turned around and walked out.
Seeing this, An Tingyu had no choice but to follow.
They got on the carriage and traveled for about half an hour before it stopped.
"Queen Mother Temple? Why are you here?" An Tingyu asked doubtfully. Fu Mo is a grown man, could it be that he also believes in God?
"Someone asked me to meet here." Fu Mo didn't explain much. He just said it lightly and didn't say anything else.
Following Fu Mo's footsteps, they came to a Zen room, where sat a person whom An Tingyu was very familiar with.
"Feng Beijian? You guys..."
An Tingyu wanted to say something, but just as she opened her mouth, Fu Mo behind her suddenly reached out and tapped her sleep button. An Tingyu was startled, and before she could react, sleepiness had already taken over her heart...
An Tingyu didn't know how long she had slept. She only knew that when she woke up, Fu Mo was gone. Only Feng Beijian was sitting beside her, staring at her in a trance.
"Awake?" Feng Beijian said gently when he saw her wake up.
"Where is this? Where is Fu Mo?" An Tingyu looked around warily, but this was no longer the Zen room she had been to before, but a very elegant room.
Feng Beijian glanced at her and spoke calmly, "This is a branch of the Feng Mansion. As for Fu Mo, I don't know where he went! I just received a letter from him asking me to go to the Queen Mother Temple. After you were acupunctured, he handed you over to me and left."
Hearing this, An Tingyu frowned and quickly got up from the bed, but...
"I advise you not to waste your energy. Fu Mo used a muscle softening powder on you. He said that you must not leave my sight today. Although I don't know what he wants to do, it won't do any harm to me because I have an extra day to spend with you."
An Tingyu weakly crawled to the edge of the bed and secretly bit her lip, "Feng Beijian, give me the antidote quickly, otherwise something terrible will happen."
An Tingyu had roughly guessed Fu Mo's plan, so she asked why Fu Mo was so obedient today and didn't even sneak away. It turned out that he had long planned to let Feng Beijian come to watch her, and he was probably going to carry out his revenge plan.
"Don't try to fool me. If I give you the antidote, you will definitely turn around and run away. I don't believe it!" Feng Beijian thought she was just making an excuse, so he didn't move.
"What I said is true. If I'm not mistaken, Fu Mo is now preparing to assassinate Long Xunyi."
Feng Beijian chuckled and said, "Keep making it up. The Emperor is the ruler of a country. How can he be assassinated at will? The Imperial Palace is not a place where anyone can come and go as they please."
An Tingyu was speechless for a moment, but soon she said, "Whether you believe it or not, take me to the palace immediately."
"No!" Feng Beijian refused without thinking.
It was a rare opportunity like this, so he didn't want to send her back like this! If he sent her back, he didn't know when they would meet again.
"You..." An Tingyu glared at him fiercely. If possible, she really wanted to kill the man in front of her with a palm. Are her words so hard to believe?
After a while, An Tingyu put away her fierce gaze and said through gritted teeth, "Okay, I beg you. If you're afraid that I'll leave, you don't have to give me the antidote, but I'm telling you, I'm not kidding. Someone could die. My uncle wants to avenge my mother, so if you don't want to be a concubine and remain a widow at such a young age, bring me into the palace right away."
An Tingyu spoke in a serious tone, and she swore that everything she said was true. For this reason, Feng Beijian frowned and said, "You really didn't lie to me?"
"If I lie to you, I will be struck by lightning and I will not..."
"Alright, alright, stop saying such unlucky things. I believe you." Feng Beijian hurriedly stopped her from making the vow, but fearing she was lying, he added, "You can take me to the palace, but I won't give you the antidote."
"Whatever you want to do!" An Tingyu replied without thinking, but in her heart, she kept cursing, Fu Mo, that damn bastard, she would be dead if she caught him, he actually gave her muscle softening powder, it was too immoral, if he had to use it, he should have poisoned her!
She is not afraid of poison, but now she is afraid of these things that make people weak or unconscious. They are so hateful!
…
In the majestic palace, Long Xunyi looked down at the man of his highness with a polite smile on his face.
"Fu Mo, Yun Mo, how should I address you?"
"I am the State Master of Zhen Kingdom. It doesn't matter if I'm called Fu Mo Yunmo or Fu State Master Yun State Master. The Southern Emperor can call me whatever he wants."
Long Xunyi chuckled and said calmly, "So what's the matter with Master Fu's sudden visit?"
Fu Mo and Fu Zhonghan had moved back to Tianmen for quite some time, but this was Fu Mo's first visit, so Long Xunyi couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Speaking of visiting, I really should apologize. After all, it's been quite a while since I returned to Tianmen, but my father hasn't been in good health and has been busy, so I haven't been able to find time. And now, the Western Emperor sent someone to deliver a strange flower, saying it's for the Southern Emperor, so I came."
After saying that, Fu Mo turned around, and the maid beside him immediately put the thing in his hand.
It was a very small potted plant, about the size of a cactus, but it emitted a very clear and light fragrance. The smell was pleasant but not overpowering.
Seeing Fu Mo's action, the eunuch beside Long Xunyi also walked down smartly, took the small scenery basin from Fu Mo's hand, and then handed it to Long Xunyi.
Long Xunyi took a look and said with a smile: "What's the name of this potted plant? It smells a bit like the Phalaenopsis orchid from the Western Regions, but it doesn't seem to be it."
"Nan Di, this potted plant is indeed from the Western Regions, but this flower is not called Phalaenopsis. It is also a kind of orchid, called Swallow Orchid." Fu Mo answered lightly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Although they are all orchid species, the swallow orchid is different from other orchids because it not only has a pleasant fragrance, it is also a poisonous orchid.
