Chapter 705 You are the evil dragon
Fu Zhaoning wanted to say something else, but his palms were clenched.
She was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Lanyuan.
Of course, she couldn't see Xiao Lanyuan's expression now, but she noticed the change in his mood.
Originally, he was planning to take off the mask so that Master Fu and the others could see his appearance clearly.
But before he could do anything, Old Master Fu had already brought up the matter.
Now that he has taken off the mask, the facts speak for themselves: his face has healed.
However, it was like a thorn in Xiao Lanyuan's heart.
What if his face hasn't healed yet?
Does that mean that he, his heart, and everything he does are meaningless? Should he leave Fu Zhaoning just because of his face?
He couldn't hold her.
In fact, just because of his face, he cannot be the prince and deserves to die.
Is the meaning of his existence just a face?
This feeling cannot be explained to others. But at this moment, Xiao Lanyuan's heart is indeed a little cold.
He suddenly didn't want to take off the mask.
Let others think that he still has a devilish face. What will people say? What will they make him do?
"What do people in the capital say about me?" Xiao Lanyuan asked slowly.
"Old Master, please be careful with your words." Butler Zhong couldn't help but speak out.
But Xiao Lanyuan's gaze swept over him, and immediately made him take a step back, not daring to speak again.
They were all tense.
Although they have almost never left their homes in the past six months, they still know what they need to know.
They had heard a lot of the rumors outside.
Old Master Fu sat up straight. He had to say these words. He really didn't want his granddaughter to feel wronged.
"When you showed your face, you scared a lot of people."
Old Master Fu sighed, "In the past six months, we have rarely gone out. Xiaofei is under surveillance. From time to time, people from the palace come to our house to talk about the situation in Hucheng, and some talk about the emperor's will, but they often talk about you."
"They told Xiao Fei not to think that you were really his brother-in-law. Even if you were, you couldn't protect him. Your appearance was ruined. The royal family couldn't tolerate such a prince. They had to send you somewhere."
"There are also some people who, for some unknown purpose, deliberately gathered outside our house and talked loudly, mocking our Zhaoning for marrying a man with a face like an evil ghost. They said nasty things, saying that she would be scared to death by you sooner or later, and even if she wasn't scared to death, she would never have the chance to live together in this life, and she wouldn't dare to go out together, because if she did, the women in the family would laugh at her."
Butler Zhong hissed quietly.
He looked at Old Master Fu, and became so anxious that his heart and hands were sweating.
What's wrong with this old man? Why did he say all these words?
But he didn't dare interrupt, because the prince didn't let them speak, it was obvious that he wanted Old Master Fu to speak enough.
Old Master Fu drank the glass of wine in one gulp, thought for a moment, poured himself another glass and drank it again.
Fu Zhaoning wanted to stop him, but his movements were too fast and she didn't have time.
She originally wanted to interrupt him and tell him that Xiao Lanyuan's face was healed, but Xiao Lanyuan held her hand tightly and prevented her from interrupting.
These words may have been hidden in Old Master Fu's heart for a long time.
He finally mustered up the courage to finish speaking.
"I don't know when, another rumor came out, saying that twenty years ago a Taoist said that the fate of Zhao State would be devoured by an evil dragon, and the country would be defeated and the people would be weak, and they would be completely defeated. Those people said, what is an evil dragon? The dragon is the son of heaven and the bloodline of the royal family, but the dragon has always been destined by heaven, how can there be an evil dragon?"
"They said it was you. Your face was damaged and you looked like a demon, so you were evil. They said the emperor favored you so much that he gave you the Dragon Shadow Guard and the Zhao Kingdom Seal, and left you some unknown treasure. He must have been bewitched by you."
"It was also said that you were poisoned when you were very young. It is possible that someone who knew the truth wanted to take the initiative for the sake of Zhao's national destiny. They wanted to suppress the evil dragon first, protect Zhao's true dragon energy, and protect the country's national destiny."
Fu Zhaoning widened his eyes.
Why is it getting more and more outrageous?
How could the poisoning incident back then be interpreted like this?
She suddenly felt something was wrong and felt that this matter was not that simple.
"grandfather--"
"Zhao Ning, let me finish."
"Well, finish your words. I want to understand, too." Xiao Lanyuan said calmly.
"Anyway, many people in the capital are saying that you are the evil dragon. You know, it's hard to explain this kind of thing, so it's better to believe it, right?"
Old Master Fu looked at Xiao Lanyuan.
He actually knew that these rumors were too ridiculous, and he didn't believe them anyway.
But this kind of thing doesn't require them to believe or not believe it.
If such words get out, the emperor will arrest you.
"That's right." Xiao Lanyuan also nodded.
"So this is very troublesome." Old Master Fu sighed, "I know, it must be that many people can't tolerate you and try every means to snatch the things in your hands. If you were an ordinary person, I would advise you to give them everything. Give them everything. You don't need it and just live a good life."
"But you are not an ordinary person. You are the most favored Prince Jun by the Emperor. I don't know if you can give those things away, and what will happen if you give them away. But I know that you have to face the Emperor and the Empress."
"Prince Jun, the emperor and queen cannot tolerate you."
Old Master Fu sighed heavily again, "It's very dangerous for Zhao Ning to follow you."
He finally said this.
These words had exhausted all his strength, and after he finished speaking, he felt a little dejected and couldn't even stand up straight.
When he saw them coming back in the afternoon, he couldn't help being excited and happy. He was really happy to bring Fu Zhaofei here.
But, but these things have been weighing on his mind for more than half a year.
When he saw Xiao Lanyuan coming over holding Fu Zhaoning's hand, he felt that he had to say something.
He was also afraid that Fu Zhaoning had been away for more than half a year and had no idea about Zhaoguo's current situation, so he plunged into it headfirst.
He had to make her understand.
I used to think Prince Jun was very powerful and could protect Zhaoning.
Moreover, after they got married, they really didn't even take the emperor and empress seriously and had conflicts with them several times.
But it’s different now. Prince Jun’s appearance is ruined, and rumors unfavorable to him have spread, so the emperor has a reason to deal with him.
As long as more people believe this "story", everyone will join forces to deal with King Jun. He is alone and weak and cannot resist at all.
When Fu Zhaoning was with him, he had to be afraid of his devilish appearance.
Old Master Fu felt sorry for her.
"So according to Grandfather, what should we do?"
Xiao Lanyuan asked after hearing this.
Fu Zhaofei became nervous.
He didn't expect that his grandfather would say all the things he was worried about at once.
Didn’t you say that you would talk to your sister in private first?
