Chapter 357 He Wants to Protect Them
Xiao Lanyuan's voice came from outside.
"Training soldiers to protect your sister? That's a very ambitious idea."
Xiao Lanyuan, looking cold and wearing a white fox fur cloak, stood at the door.
He looked at the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren in the room but did not come in.
He had some complicated feelings in his mind.
It is obvious that he has been married to Fu Zhaoning and he is her husband. After all, he is also the prince of Zhao State and is in charge of the Dragon Shadow Guard. But the Fu family’s grandparents and grandchildren did not take him into account. Do they still think that Fu Zhaoning is a helpless orphan?
This feeling made him feel a little frustrated.
Can't Fu Zhaoning be protected by him?
When Old Master Fu heard his voice, he immediately wiped his tears with his sleeves, straightened his back, and his tone became noticeably calmer.
"This time, thanks to Prince Juan, the entire Fu family is grateful."
This old man, must he be so clear with him? He has already moved into Prince Jun's mansion, and he is still being so polite to him?
This personality is really unlovable.
Xiao Lanyuan's tone was also calm, "You are too polite, old master. Ningning is my wife, and you are her family, so these are things I should do."
"Prince Jun already knows that my son and daughter-in-law may still be alive, right?" Old Master Fu was observing his reaction when he asked this question.
"Know."
"Is Prince Jun thinking of sending troops to capture them now?"
"Grandfather..." Fu Zhaoning had already seen Xiao Lanyuan's lips tightened.
"I am thinking so, but we still don't know where they are." Xiao Lanyuan directly replied to Old Master Fu.
"What if you knew?"
"We have to get to the bottom of what happened back then, right? They should be back soon. Doesn't the old man still want the family to be reunited? It's no use for them to keep hiding like this."
"Brother-in-law," Fu Zhaofei looked at Xiao Lanyuan pleadingly, "I know you treat my sister very well. Can you give my parents a chance to explain when the time comes?"
"A chance to explain?" Xiao Lanyuan said, "That would require them to have a reason to explain."
Fu Zhaoning felt that when facing Old Master Fu, Xiao Lanyuan remained calm and composed, and he did not flatter or respect him just because the old man was her grandfather.
Perhaps, Xiao Lanyuan should still leave some room in his heart.
Otherwise, he would completely integrate into them and really treat them all as a family, and then find out that the poisoning incident was indeed related to Fu Lin.
"Today, I have already told the emperor that Fu Zhaofei is the blood of the Fu family, not the son of King Helian. The emperor promised not to pursue him for the time being, but Fu Zhaofei cannot leave the capital."
He looked at Fu Zhaoning and his tone softened a little.
"What King Helian did in Hucheng is true. I can't completely stand on his side. I can only strive for this result."
Fu Zhaoning could understand this.
"The emperor's intention is to detain Xiaofei. If Prince Helian makes any move, he will use Xiaofei as a bargaining chip."
"right."
Xiao Lanyuan nodded, "But I will ensure his safety in the capital before that. He can live in the Fu family, and Eleven Thirteen can continue to protect him."
"Then I want to go to Hucheng. Is that not possible?" Fu Zhaofei asked a little worriedly.
"Can't."
"I..." Fu Zhaofei looked at Fu Zhaoning in a dilemma, "Sister, I don't want to leave you and grandfather, but after all, they raised me up. Wouldn't it be too cruel for me not to go back and see them? I want to tell them that I have found my relatives. If possible, I also want to persuade them to admit their mistakes to the emperor and not make the same mistake again."
"You write a letter to them, and I will send someone to deliver it to Hucheng."
Xiao Lanyuan said to him, "But the letter you wrote must be sent to the palace for the emperor to review, so think carefully about how to write it."
It is hard to say whether King Helian will listen to him.
"good."
Fu Zhaofei became a little depressed again. Old Master Fu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come on, Grandfather will go write the letter with you."
"good."
When they passed by Xiao Lanyuan, Old Master Fu stopped and said to Xiao Lanyuan, "I'm so sorry, we may have to stay in Prince Jun's Mansion for two more days."
Things haven't been dealt with yet, and he doesn't want Fu Zhaoning to run back and forth between the two places, which would be distressing. So it would be best if they all lived in Prince Jun's Mansion, so that Zhaoning could rest and recover from his injuries.
"It's okay, just stay here." Xiao Lanyuan replied calmly.
"Well, thank you very much."
After Old Master Fu and Fu Zhaofei left, Xiao Lanyuan took off his mask and looked at Fu Zhaoning with an obviously aggrieved expression.
"I almost had a fight with the Emperor in the palace today. He wanted to put me in jail."
puff.
"What's going on?" Fu Zhaoning almost burst out laughing.
So he was gone for most of the day and didn't come back until now when it was dark?
Did he almost fight with the Emperor? And he managed to escape unscathed.
"It's because I want to protect Fu Zhaofei. The emperor and the queen want to arrest him and send him to Hucheng to force Prince Helian to surrender and bring them to the capital."
Xiao Lanyuan spoke very calmly now, but Fu Zhaoning knew that it must not be easy, otherwise he would not have said that the emperor was about to put him in jail.
He didn't even know what kind of hardships he had to endure in the palace.
"Have you completely fallen out with the emperor?" Fu Zhaoning asked him.
"We have already fallen out, but since I have the Dragon Shadow Guard and the Zhao Kingdom Seal in my hands, he doesn't dare to do anything to me." Xiao Lanyuan said.
In fact, the emperor also said that Fu Zhaoning had to stay in the capital with Fu Zhaofei and could not go anywhere.
Moreover, the emperor still planned to let them live in a villa and assign people to guard it. That would be equivalent to house arrest, and they might not be able to go out at will.
How could Fu Zhaoning bear to be under house arrest with Fu Zhaofei?
He would definitely not be willing to do that.
What's more, they were about to leave the capital and go to Yuheng Mountain.
So he had a conflict with the emperor. The emperor had already called the imperial guards and surrounded him. The situation was already very tense.
The emperor almost revealed his ill intentions, and the empress was so eager to accuse him of treason.
It was indeed not easy for him to escape unscathed.
"Will he use these to negotiate with you?"
Fu Zhaoning was a little worried.
If she were the emperor, she would take this opportunity to negotiate terms with him and at least ask him to give up one thing.
After all, he has to protect two people, her and Xiaofei. If he really doesn't let anything out, can the emperor let him go?
"Although I did say it, I didn't agree." Xiao Lanyuan didn't care.
Fu Zhaoning pulled him to sit in the pavilion outside, asked him to stretch out his hand, and took his pulse.
"Is it really up to you to agree or not? If you don't agree, how can he let you leave the palace and promise not to pursue Xiao Fei and me?"
