Chapter 92 Is His Majesty Afraid?
Fu Mingyi was drinking alone under the moon when he welcomed his first guest of the night.
Li Qinghe easily scaled the wall and entered, then couldn't help but laugh. "The guards at the Grand Tutor's residence are far too lax."
Fu Mingyi put down his teacup and smiled. "If not, how could you have climbed over the wall to get in?"
Li Qinghe burst into laughter again, "That's right, we should at least take care of this lame person like me."
Fu Mingyi smiled but remained silent.
"To make a long story short, Qinghe has already done what you entrusted to him. But when do you plan to do what you promised?"
Fu Mingyi didn't hide anything, "Once I've determined one thing, it can be done."
Li Qinghe leaned forward curiously, "What is it?"
He squinted. "Need any help?"
Fu Mingyi glanced calmly into the distance. "No need."
As the moon rose high in the sky, Fu Mingyi welcomed his second guest.
The person arrived silently, dressed in black and hidden in the heavy twilight; even the moonlight could not detect his presence.
Fu Mingyi put down the cup and tapped it lightly.
The visitor whispered, "Muldan is not in Ping'an City. Consort Ming is temporarily staying in Yongxiao Palace."
"My sister will definitely blame us."
The man crossed his arms and lowered his head, and after a long while he finally said, "Saving one person is easy, but saving all the people in the world is difficult."
Did they agree to what I wanted?
"There are conditions."
Fu Mingyi sneered, "That's more like their style."
He stood up. "I agree to their conditions, and I must see what I want before the Mid-Autumn Festival."
The man nodded and his figure gradually disappeared.
"Come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival; you should go see him too."
The shadows of the trees swayed gently, and the only sound in the world was his own breathing.
Tomorrow will probably be another unpleasant day.
Xiao Qing woke up early in the morning to find out that the Grand Tutor had arrived.
Ma Hong and Liu Yi stayed outside. Ming Xiu came in first to help her tidy up, and then Dan Ying brought in a basin.
Just as Mingxiu was about to take it, Danying said, "Let me do it." She walked past her and headed towards Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing had already put on her coat and was sitting on the edge of the bed. Since she had heard that Fu Mingyi had arrived early in the morning, her mind had been wandering and thinking about a lot of things.
Dan Ying carefully wiped Xiao Qing's face and washed his hands, and Xiao Qing came back to his senses.
"I'll do it myself." She had been doing these things herself and didn't want to delegate them to others.
Dan Ying smiled and said, "Let me do it." She lowered her head and continued with what she was doing.
Xiao Qing sensed something was wrong.
She turned her gaze to Mingxiu, but Mingxiu seemed a little confused as well.
She then asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Dan Ying silently helped Xiao Qing straighten her clothes with Ming Xiu, who had come over, before looking at her with tender eyes.
"I'm fine. I just envy Sister Mingxiu for being able to stay by His Majesty's side all the time."
Xiao Qing then smiled.
"What's there to envy? Dan Ying is by my side too."
As she walked out, she asked Mingxiu, "Has the Grand Tutor had breakfast yet? If not, let's have breakfast together."
Mingxiu said, "This servant has not asked, but I will go and ask now."
Dan Ying followed Xiao Qing outside.
Xiao Qing was still thinking about the Taiwan server before going to bed last night.
The fear in her heart had gradually faded with the passage of time, and she began to wonder if Fu Mingyi might not have meant it that way.
She was actually conflicted.
On one hand, she wanted to escape the palace and pursue truth and freedom.
On the other hand, she felt she couldn't bear being driven away by Fu Mingyi without any explanation.
Perhaps she herself doesn't understand her own feelings.
However, she figured out one thing.
It's very difficult to get the Grand Tutor to confess. Fortunately, people can speak their minds; if the Grand Tutor doesn't take the initiative, she can.
Even if she spoke first, what does it matter? The most important thing is to find out what the Grand Tutor thinks. Why be so serious and make things difficult for both the Grand Tutor and yourself?
She'd heard that friendships are often forged over meals, so she decided to put it into practice.
But when Mingxiu returned, she said that the Grand Tutor had already had breakfast and told her not to rush, that he could wait.
this……
Xiao Qing was certain that this wasn't being too impolite; he genuinely had no intention of having breakfast with her.
Then let's not force people to do things they don't want to do.
But after she had breakfast and met Fu Mingyi, she realized that she had been too naive.
The news he brought wasn't good.
The first thing to do is to hold a ceremony to enshrine the Martial Soul during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The ceremony will be held facing north to worship the heavens, followed by burial and funeral. The location will be the Martial Soul Tomb outside Nanhua City, and it should be completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The second thing, after the ceremony, is that Yu Zaiting will send the memorial tablets of the soldiers to Jiangzhou, where he will oversee the construction of a north-facing slope in a mountain to place the tablets, gazing towards the north. He will then have a new identity—the military governor of Jiangzhou.
It was also a second-rank position, but it was just a sinecure.
Xiao Qing stood up in surprise, "Is this the Prime Minister's idea or the Grand Tutor's idea?"
Fu Mingyi looked at her without saying a word.
Xiao Qing understood instantly.
Fu Mingyi then began to talk about the third thing.
"His Majesty once said that he would not object to anything I do."
He used a declarative tone.
Xiao Qing hadn't recovered from what happened with Yu Zaiting, and her heart skipped a beat when she heard him say that.
She unconsciously shifted her body, looking at him warily, and deeply regretted speaking so boldly too soon.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will not put you in a difficult position."
Xiao Qing cleared his throat to cover up his misunderstanding, "The Grand Tutor always has his reasons for doing things."
Fu Mingyi smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. As a member of the royal family and His Majesty's younger brother, His Majesty should show more favor to him, which would be a magnanimous gesture."
Xiao Qing nodded, indicating that she had learned something.
"Your Highness Yan has come from afar and is in great pain. He lacks a few close and understanding servants by his side. Your Majesty might as well ask those around you if there are any willing to go and serve him."
Xiao Qing was stunned for a long time.
"The Grand Tutor has no choice but to come to me to find someone he can't find. This..." Xiao Qing racked his brains trying to figure out how to refuse.
But Fu Mingyi smiled and said, "As I have said, I will not put Your Majesty in a difficult position. It was just a question; surely Your Majesty is not afraid?"
That's a very presumptuous question.
Xiao Qing's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
She now only has five people by her side: Mingxiu, Ma Hong, Liu Yi, Danying, and Yingying.
What does he mean by this? Who has he set his sights on and is determined to give it to that child?
A quick thought suddenly flashed through her mind, and when she turned back to grab it, she couldn't catch it anymore.
"I am different..."
"Is Your Majesty afraid that you will lose face if they choose Prince Yan?"
Xiao Qing couldn't stand Fu Mingyi's provocation.
Seeing Fu Mingyi say those words with a half-smile, a smile playing on his lips, she felt a fire ignite within her.
"Who said I'm scared?"
After bowing, Fu Mingyi opened the door and went inside.
Ma Hong bent over even lower.
