Outside the Showa Hall, Fu Ya fled in panic.
She originally wanted to come and see Concubine Yun, and thought she would just take a look from a distance, so that she could at least have some impression of the woman who had the final say in the palace, and the woman that Feng Yuheng called mother. When she came, she pretended to be generous, and when people couldn't tell whether she was Feng Yuheng or not, she generously admitted that she was Feng Yuheng, and walked into the Zhaohe Palace without any hindrance.
Of course, she didn't dare to go to see Concubine Yun with such a face. The servants were confused, but Concubine Yun was very clear. After hearing that the Imperial Observatory's supervisor was inside, Fu Ya chose to stay outside to listen, but she didn't expect to hear such a conversation.
She was so scared that she ran away in a hurry, and the servants she bumped into were all puzzled. What happened to Princess Ji'an today? But no one knew that the person who ran away was not Feng Yuheng at all, but just a fake with a face that looked like Feng Yuheng.
"Kill him, clean and tidy." Concubine Yun's words kept echoing in Fu Ya's ears. She ran all the way, out of breath, but she couldn't get rid of the fear in her heart. She had never been in contact with the center of power like this, and had never met so many big shots like today. And it was not until now that she understood that the people in this palace wanted to kill a person, and they were even more cruel than Duanmu Anguo in the Northern Territory.
Fu Ya's escape was not hindered much because of her face. Although many palace servants knew that Feng Yuheng had already left the palace, when they saw her again, they only thought that Princess Ji'an had gone somewhere else and did not leave the palace. In Zhaohe Palace, the female guards around Concubine Yun only chased to the entrance of the courtyard and did not chase further, because the palace servants in the courtyard told her: "It was Princess Ji'an. I don't know why she came but did not go in, and then ran away in a hurry."
Although the female guard couldn't figure out why Feng Yuheng came but didn't come in, and then ran away in a hurry, but since the servants said it was Feng Yuheng, there was no need to chase him. After all, he was not a stranger, nor a bad person. The princess might have something urgent to do, so she just went back to report to the queen.
So, the female guard returned to the Zhaohe Palace and told Concubine Yun what the palace maid had said. Concubine Yun frowned and said, "That's not right! Even if Ah Heng didn't come in, he shouldn't be eavesdropping outside. Didn't you say before that when you noticed something unusual, you were sure that someone was eavesdropping?"
The female guard nodded, but she was a little confused and even began to doubt her own eyes.
At this time, the director of the Imperial Observatory also spoke up and said to Concubine Yun, "When I arrived at the Zhaohe Palace, the palace banquet at the Qiankun Palace had already ended. Because the Yao and Lu families had both encountered problems, the princess must have been in a hurry to leave the palace to deal with them. I didn't see her staying in the palace."
This eunuch was called to Zhaohe Palace just after the palace banquet. He told Concubine Yun again about the incident of Lu Yao and Xu falling into the water, and Concubine Yun's brows furrowed even deeper.
"No, it's not Ah Heng." She was very sure of her suspicion, and then ordered the female guard: "You go out of the palace in person and ask Ah Heng if he has been to Zhaohe Hall today. If Ah Heng says no, then the princess that the palace people saw must be a fake."
The female guard nodded and left quickly. Concubine Yun finally relaxed and chatted with the eunuch, "My daughter-in-law is filial. It's a moonlit night today. It's impossible for her to not come to see me after entering the palace, and it's even more impossible for her not to come in after she got outside the palace. But if you say that something like this happened to the Yao family, then it makes sense for her to leave the palace in a hurry. Well, let's not talk about this. You continue to talk about the two stars accompanying the moon. I think the shadow behind this main star is probably clear..."
In the Zhaohe Palace, Concubine Yun continued to listen to her story, while the fleeing Fu Ya had already left the palace. She did not even bother to look for the carriage sent by the villa to wait for her. She just kept running, trying to identify the direction of the villa. Even though she was so tired that she was about to vomit blood, she still gritted her teeth and refused to stop.
She didn't know if there was anyone chasing her. She didn't dare to look back. The sense of crisis kept lingering around her. Concubine Yun's words kept circling in her mind. Fu Ya knew that if she didn't have such a face, she would never be able to escape from the palace today. Yao insisted that she was her daughter and let her enter the palace. So many people in the palace encouraged her, and she was tempted. But when she thought about it, she realized how difficult and dangerous it was. Fu Ya was thinking, is it worth it? Once she set foot on this road, can she go all the way? Can she get out of it safely?
With her mind full of random thoughts, Fu Ya no longer cared about the different looks on the street. She just ran as fast as she could, trying to figure out the direction back to the villa. Unfortunately, after trying hard to figure it out, she still couldn't find the way back.
Suddenly, she was stabbed in the chest. She screamed in fear and her body bounced back involuntarily. She was about to fly up and fall to the ground, but was pulled back by a strong arm.
Fu Ya looked up and was instantly shocked - "Yes, it's you?"
Ban Zou stared at the woman in front of him. She looked like his master, but he would never make a mistake. After all, the real master was the one he protected day and night. He had seen this Fu Ya in the Northern Realm before, and he could tell the real from the fake at a glance. He just didn't understand why Fu Ya was running on the street in the evening with a frightened look on her face. Ban Zou asked her, "What's wrong with you?"
Fu Ya was startled, and many thoughts flashed through her mind instantly. However, she immediately realized that no one could know what she had done and thought today. Ban Zou probably had not entered the palace today, so he would not know that she had gone to Zhaohe Palace to eavesdrop on Concubine Yun and the others. So she felt relieved, reached out to pull Ban Zou's sleeve, and begged, "Madam Yao asked me to attend the palace banquet, but I couldn't find the way after I came back. Ban Zou, can you take me back to the villa? Or... give me directions would also be good."
She didn't dare to ask for too much. Fu Ya always had an unspeakable emotion in her heart about Ban Zou. She once asked Feng Yuheng for this person to protect herself and the Yao family, but it was said that Ban Zou himself refused. What else could she say? Today, being able to meet him by chance on the street is already a luxury for her.
Although Ban Zou was puzzled, he did not want to ask Fu Ya any more questions, so he nodded and decisively pulled his sleeve back from Fu Ya's hand. Then he turned around and said without any emotion: "Let's go. I'll take you back."
Fu Ya followed Ban Zou in a hurry, looking at the back of the person walking fast in front of her. It seemed like she was back in the North Realm when she was pushed down from the city wall and Ban Zou caught her steadily like a knight descending from the sky. From that moment on, this person was in her heart and never left.
If I were Feng Yuheng, would you also protect me day and night? Suddenly, such a sentence rose from Fu Ya's mind, and it was unstoppable. She wanted to ask this question, but it was stuck in her throat, and she didn't dare to ask it anyway. Wait a little longer, Fu Ya persuaded herself, wait a little longer, wait until she walks out of the light on this road, there will always be a day when Ban Zou will stand by her side. The original uncertain thought became firm in her heart again. Fu Ya had never hoped that she was Feng Yuheng as much as she did now. Until Ban Zou brought her to the gate of the other courtyard, her heart was extremely excited.
But when she looked up again, Ban Zou had disappeared, without a sound or a trace. Fu Ya stood outside the door for a long while until the doorman called her, "Miss Fu Ya?"
She came back to her senses, but then she changed her expression and asked the doorman, "What did you call me?"
The concierge was puzzled. "Of course she should be called Miss Fu Ya."
"Fu Ya..." She repeated the name, and for the first time she felt strange and even disgusted. "Madam calls me daughter, but you call me Miss Fu Ya. Is this appropriate?" She stared at the two servants at the gate and said coldly, "From now on, call me Miss. Remember?"
The concierge was puzzled and was about to ask a few more questions when he heard Yao's voice suddenly ring out in the courtyard: "Just listen to what the young lady says. As a servant, you should obey the orders of your master. She is my daughter, so she is naturally the young lady of this courtyard. Do you remember?"
The two doormen were startled. Although they were unwilling, they did not dare to refute Yao's words. They just nodded and called Fu Ya "Miss" against their will. Then they thought to themselves that they would have to talk about this matter with Feng Yuheng or Yao Xian next time they saw them.
Fu Ya saw that Yao was indeed on her side, and a smile appeared on her lips. But as soon as the smile appeared, a chill came over her. The words she heard outside the Zhaohe Palace still frightened her, so she quickly took Yao and hurried to the backyard room.
The two entered the house, and Fu Ya spoke first. The first thing she asked was Yao: "Madam, have you made up your mind that you want me to be your daughter?"
Yao nodded, "I'm not asking you to do it, you are my daughter!"
"But you know I'm not Feng Yuheng, don't you?"
Yao smiled and said, "What does it matter? Feng Yuheng is not Feng Yuheng!"
This was not the first time Fu Ya had heard such words. Although she still did not understand what was going on, she just thought that Yao had mental problems and was disappointed with her daughter. So she reminded Yao, "Asking me to be Feng Yuheng is risky. If I fail, the consequences will be terrible."
But Yao told her firmly: "You won't fail. Only a mother knows who her daughter is. If I say you are, then you are. You have to do it whether you can do it or not."
“Are you not afraid of failure?”
“Will not fail!”
Yao's determination gave Fu Ya more confidence. With Lu Yan's instigation and what Concubine Yuan Shu said to her, Fu Ya thought that at this point, she might not be able to avoid this path if she wanted to. She had been drawn into this vortex since she entered the capital, or in other words, from the moment she used her identity to exchange Feng Yuheng for entering the Illusion Hall, she could no longer escape from it.
Replace Feng Yuheng? Fine, let her use this face, this identity, and future glory to avenge her parents' blood feud!
She pulled Yao, her eyes full of exploitation for the first time - "Mother, don't worry, I am your daughter, and I will always be!"
