Chapter 227 I'm Just Worried About You
After a whole day of hard work, they arrived at Prince Jun's Mansion. Hong Zhuo and Fen Xing were very happy to get busy. They prepared water for her to bathe, wiped her hair, and then prepared dinner for them.
After Fu Zhaoning wore a new set of clothes and had a delicious dinner, Hong Zhuo put a cloak on him.
"Princess, the prince is waiting for you in the yard."
"What are you waiting for me for?"
"Walking helps digestion." Hong Zhuo smiled, "The prince used to walk alone, but now the princess can accompany him."
No, what does this girl’s relieved look mean?
Although she knew that it was nice to take a walk after dinner, she was tired today, and she was also thinking about whether she could quickly run back to the Fu family to ask Xiaotao how Lin Anhao was doing after she returned home today.
Why would Xie let An Hao go out alone?
I guess Xie was also scared today.
But before she could say anything, Hong Zhuo pushed her out of the yard.
After going out, she saw Xiao Lanyuan also wearing a cloak and standing outside, as if he was waiting for her.
She looked back at Hong Zhuo, who waved excitedly to signal her to hurry over.
Fu Zhaoning sighed and walked towards Xiao Lanyuan helplessly.
The two of them were walking slowly along the path in the garden. Fu Zhaoning originally wanted to wait for Xiao Lanyuan to speak, but after they had walked almost half a circle, Xiao Lanyuan didn't utter a word.
"Hey, Xiao Lanyuan, aren't you going to tell me what's going on with Madam Rongyue's backstage?" She had no choice but to speak first.
"You know that Madam Rongyue used to like your father, right?"
Many people in the capital knew about what happened back then.
It's just that a long time has passed, and Fu Jinchen has been missing for more than ten years, so gradually no one mentions what happened back then anymore.
"I know. Someone told me." Fu Zhaoning did know.
Someone told Miss Fu this when she always went to Yuerong Tower to look for Xiao Yanjing.
But she had never seen Madam Rongyue before.
"Back then, Fu Lin might not have run away, which means she might not have disappeared. Or even if she ran away, your father might not have run away, after all, his father and his daughter are still here. But Madam Rongyue produced evidence that was unfavorable to your mother."
"ah?"
"She took out a hollow hairpin, which belonged to Fu Lin. The hairpin was very delicately made, and something could be hidden inside when it was opened. She said she found it next to the pavilion where Fu Lin rested, and it must have been dropped by Fu Lin, and there was still some poison left inside."
Xiao Lanyuan said this and glanced at Fu Zhaoning.
Fu Zhaoning really didn't know that such a thing happened back then.
"Your mother couldn't explain what happened to the hairpin at the time, but she admitted that it was indeed hers, but she didn't know it contained poison. Because of this incident, the emperor wanted to imprison her first. The prince and princess at that time, who are now the emperor and empress, felt that Madam Rongyue had done a great job."
"Just because of this, he was awarded a meritorious service? The matter hasn't even been investigated clearly yet." Fu Zhaoning was a little confused.
"Of course, it's not just that. At that time, the Crown Princess also asked your father if he was willing to divorce Fu Lin and marry Madam Rong Yue instead. Before asking your father, she had already told Madam Rong Yue in front of many people that she could facilitate this marriage."
"After all, the only suspect at that time was Fu Lin. If she really committed such a capital crime, Fu Jinchen would have divorced her and completely cut off ties with her. With the evidence provided by Madam Rongyue who liked him, he and the Fu family could have completely cleared themselves from this matter."
Fu Zhaoning frowned.
"But he refused?"
Xiao Lanyuan nodded, "Yes, he refused."
"The queen lost all her face in front of Madam Rongyue because she thought she had a sure win just by asking for it. But Madam Rongyue was rejected by Fu Jinchen again in public. She was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to bang her head against the pillar."
“This is so fragile.”
Just because the man she wants to marry is unwilling to marry her, she wants to die?
Madam Rongyue doesn't look like the type who would easily risk her life.
"In order to prevent things from getting out of hand, the Crown Princess must have promised Madam Rongyue some benefits in private. So after the Crown Prince took the throne and she took the empress position, she gave Madam Rongyue a series of benefits and became her backer."
So that's how it is.
"But I don't think it's that simple, right? Just because of face?"
"They must have had some dealings later on. For example, Madam Rongyue's Yuerong Tower was built by the Queen. This is a way for the Queen to make money. And if the Queen has anything that is inconvenient to do in the palace, she can go to Yuerong Tower to do it."
Xiao Lanyuan chuckled, "There are some secret affairs of the harem that can be found out in Yuerong Tower. These are what the Queen wants to know. So Yuerong Tower was actually planned a long time ago."
“That’s the real reason.”
Fu Zhaoning felt that this was right. There must be something beneficial to the Queen and the Emperor, so they, as the Emperor and the Empress, became Madam Rongyue's backers.
"However, Yuerong Tower has a bad reputation. I didn't expect the Queen doesn't mind at all."
"Speaking of which."
Xiao Lanyuan stopped, turned to her, and took off his mask.
Fu Zhaoning felt a bit of a visual shock when he suddenly saw his poisonous scar under such a faint moonlight.
It's just a bit of a sigh. If it weren't for this poisonous scar, Xiao Lanyuan's face would really be hateful to both humans and gods. He is really too handsome.
Now with this poisonous scar, it is simply a visual conflict between a fairy and a ghost.
"how?"
"I'm telling you, you knew that Yuerong Tower has a bad reputation? Then why did you go there?"
"Someone asked me to go."
"If someone invites you, you will go? Even if you want to go, you can bring a few more people with you. I asked Zhong Jian to protect you. Do you want to go to the Fu family just to eat for free?" Xiao Lanyuan suppressed his anger.
Fu Zhaoning frowned, "What do you mean you asked Zhong Jian to protect me? That's not something you owe me. I asked Zhong Jian and the others to protect my family."
"Your family."
Xiao Lanyuan almost wanted to say, isn't Old Master Fu the only one left in your family?
It would be enough to leave one person there to protect her. The most important thing is herself. It is right to keep Zhong Jian with her. Now she always leaves Zhong Jian at the Fu family. Isn't that -
Before he finished speaking, Fu Zhaoning had already understood what he meant and immediately asked, "Are you trying to say that it's a waste of talent for Zhong Jian to stay at home?"
"That's not what I meant."
"You just don't think my family is important."
Xiao Lanyuan took a deep breath and said, "I'm worried that something might happen to you!"
