He Congyu was still a little suspicious.
He glanced at Zi Su and Xiao Gui Zi, then took a deep breath and stepped forward: "Royal Concubine, the Emperor is sending people to investigate me."
Shen Fu's tightly knitted brows furrowed.
What He Congyu said was a bit confusing.
The hand on the teacup tightened, and Shen Fu said calmly: "Doctor He, if you have offended someone, is there no way to solve it?"
"Since you helped me before, I can help you."
He Congyu said that the Emperor wanted to investigate him.
Although Shen Fu didn't know how he had committed such a crime, considering that he had done so many good things in front of her, Shen Fu was willing to help him once.
"If you have any questions, just tell me directly. I will definitely help if I can."
Chen Fu raised her head and looked at He Congyu, but she didn't expect him to raise his eyes and look at her.
There was depth in his eyes, and there was an emotion in them that Shen Fu could not understand.
"Royal Concubine, His Majesty sent people to investigate me not because I did anything wrong." When He Congyu said this, his eyes were heavy and he looked directly at Fang Qi of Shen Fu.
No one knew what he was thinking in that pair of dark eyes. He looked towards Chen Fu with a gloomy gaze, and it was impossible to see the end of his gaze.
Shen Fu met those eyes and was also stunned.
Then He Congyu avoided his gaze.
He sighed, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
His deep eyes passed over Shen Fu's body and looked out the window: "Back then, when the imperial concubine was pregnant, your father-in-law arranged a marriage between you and me."
Shen Fu couldn't help but clench her hands on the armrest.
"What did you say?" Not only Shen Fu was stunned. Zi Su and Xiao Gui Zi standing by were also surprised.
Especially Zi Su, she never thought that Doctor He would say such nonsense.
She shook her head and stepped back step by step.
"How could that be?" She had liked Imperial Physician He, so how could Imperial Physician He have an engagement with the Empress?
What was her liking before then?
Zi Su thought about what she had done before, and her face gradually turned pale: "How is it possible?"
"How could that be?" How could Imperial Doctor He have been engaged to the Empress before?
She didn't believe a word of this nonsense!
Chen Fu ignored Zi Su, but her heart was beating just as loudly.
Since she was a child, no one has ever mentioned the matter of marriage to her.
Besides, how could this person be someone I know?
"Haven't we met before?" Chen Fu glanced at Xiao Guizi.
Xiao Guizi had sharp eyes. After seeing the unhappy expression on the imperial concubine's face, he immediately reached out his hand and pulled Zi Su, who was standing beside him with a surprised look on her face, towards the door.
"Sister Zisu, please stop making trouble now."
Xiao Guizi held Zi Su and stood guard at the door: "This matter can be big or small. If someone hears it, you and I will be finished."
Zi Su's heart was indeed in turmoil.
But the good thing is that she knew that this was not her fault.
He gritted his teeth and suppressed the gasping breath in his throat bit by bit.
Two people were guarding the door.
Chen Fu's heart gradually calmed down. She looked at He Congyu in front of her.
"Before the wedding, you said that you had an unmarried wife, but later she married someone else?" When she heard this, she only felt sympathy.
People like He Congyu have a good figure, appearance and talent.
Unexpectedly, someone actually abandoned him and remarried someone else.
After hearing these words, Shen Fu realized belatedly that the person He Congyu was talking about must be herself?
"I was just talking nonsense." He Congyi's face turned pale, and his red lips turned pale:
"Don't blame me, Madam."
Is this nonsense referring to then or now?
Shen Fu clenched her palms in her sleeves.
"You said you and I were engaged, why didn't I know anything about it?" Chen Fu leaned back in her chair.
She grew up in Suzhou and was loved and cared for by her grandparents. If she had been engaged since childhood, it would be impossible for them not to reveal a single word.
Shen Fu wouldn't be so confused.
He Congyu looked at Chen Fu in front of him.
After seeing the suspicion in her eyes, a trace of pain flashed in He Congyu's eyes.
This person's share should be his.
Ever since he was old enough to understand, he knew that he had a fiancée.
He has always been looking forward to growing up.
He had thought more than once about what his fiancée looked like.
But He Cong looked at Shen Fu in front of him, waiting to grow up and see his fiancée, only to find that she had become someone else's.
"I know but you still don't believe me." He Congyu swallowed the bitterness at the corner of his mouth.
"The marriage was arranged on that rainy night eighteen years ago. You were still in the womb at that time. It was arranged by Madam Gu."
Later, Mrs. Gu died of dystocia after giving birth to Shen Fu.
Naturally, no one knew about this marriage.
But it left a mark in the little He Congyi's heart.
He has always believed that there is a girl waiting for him all these years, and he regards marrying her when he grows up as his first ideal goal in life.
What he didn't expect was that after growing up, he found that all this was not what he imagined.
"My lord, this is a little confusing." Chen Fu sat on the chair with her eyes lowered: "You said that my mother arranged our marriage when she was still pregnant."
"Then how did you know that you were pregnant with a daughter?"
He Congyu could see that Chen Fu didn't believe him.
He raised his sleeves and coughed dryly, his voice becoming a little hoarse. "My father is a master of the Qianjin Science. He can tell whether it is a boy or a girl immediately by just taking the pulse."
His father said that when he first found out that Mrs. Gu was pregnant with a girl, Mrs. Gu's eyes and brows were filled with joy.
There is love in his eyes.
She thought that the child in her belly would live a very good life in the future and would die in the love of her father.
But no one expected...
He Congyu didn't want to mention these things anymore. He was afraid that if he said it too clearly, Chen Fu would feel uncomfortable.
After taking a few deep breaths, he said calmly: "If Imperial Concubine doesn't believe me, you can continue to ask."
In fact, Chen Fu already believed it a little bit in her heart.
It was not because of He Congyu, but because of the child marriage he mentioned.
Last time, His Majesty asked me about this.
At that time, His Majesty's eyes were wandering back and forth in Shen Fu's mind.
Now it seems that His Majesty was just testing us at that time.
"What else is there that your Majesty doesn't believe?" He Congyu looked at Chen Fu's face and asked.
"If it were you, I would really be engaged." Shen Fu thought of the rumors she had heard before.
The palms in his sleeves tightened involuntarily: "Then come to the palace."
"I came here just to find the queen."
Hearing this, the palm of Shen Fu's sleeve tightened a little bit involuntarily.
"How do you..."
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask me how I know where your Majesty is?" He Cong glanced at Chen Fu, then lowered his eyes.
"I have been to Gu's house in Suzhou."
He Congyi turned his head and looked out the window. The wind and snow had blown open the window, leaving a gap.
The accumulated snow pressed down on the white plum trees, making it so white that it was impossible to tell where the snowy branches were and where the plum trees were.
He also couldn't recognize the scene when he first went to Gu Mansion.
I went there with great anticipation, thinking that I would finally be able to meet my fiancée whom I had always dreamed of.
But I didn't expect that after going there, it was all empty-handed.
"This is what Mr. Gu gave to me." Perhaps because he was afraid that Chen Fu would not believe him, He Congyu took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Chen Fu with both hands.
"He said that after you went to Kyoto for the talent show, you never wrote back again." Suzhou is far from Kyoto, and the Gu family does not have any connections in Kyoto.
I couldn't get any information.
When he left, Mrs. Gu kept wiping away tears when she talked about this incident.
Of course, this seems to be inappropriate.
He Cong knew that after saying this, Shen Fu would definitely feel uncomfortable.
He definitely didn't want to see Shen Fu feel uncomfortable.
"Look, this thing belonged to your grandfather."
The first time Chen Fu saw the jade pendant, she recognized it. It was the one her grandfather had always worn.
She took the Qilin jade pendant from He Congyu's hand and gently stroked the jade beads hanging from the pendant with her fingertips.
After stroking the crack on the jade bead, Shen Fu's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The cracks on it were caused by Chen Fu being naughty and almost falling off the rockery. At that time, my grandfather used himself as a cushion in order to catch her and was injured.
At that time, the jade pendant was intact, except for the jade bead underneath which was broken and cracked.
At that time, my grandfather said that this jade pendant warded off disaster for both of them.
Since then, my grandfather has been wearing this jade pendant and never takes it off.
After seeing the object in her hand clearly and stroking the marks on the jade pendant, Chen Fu's eyes were blurred with tears.
"Grandfather." Shen Fu's voice was inexplicably choked.
"Is Grandfather okay?"
"Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are all well." Except I miss you, Your Majesty.
He Congyu couldn't bear to see Chen Fu cry.
Silently swallowing the words in his throat, he said, "Your Majesty, they are just sad. Your Majesty has been in Kyoto for a long time, but she has never written a reply letter."
"How is that possible?" Shen Fu took a deep breath and forced back the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I wrote the letter separately at that time."
Not long after she arrived in Kyoto, she wrote a letter and sent someone to send it back to Suzhou.
But I never received a reply.
No reply.
Chen Fu had just finished saying this word before she gradually swallowed it back.
Why didn't she receive a reply?
Is it true that her letter has never been sent?
Upon realizing this, Shen Fu's face was filled with panic.
Why hasn't she had any contact with the Gu family since she came to Kyoto?
Does that mean that someone had been intercepting their connection at that time?
Who could that be?
Shen Fu's thought just flashed through her mind, and the first thing that came to mind was the Shen family.
At that time, the Shen family intended to make her a substitute for Shen Qingru and let her be favored instead of Shen Qingru.
Apart from Shen Jiayu, Shen Fugenyu couldn't think of anyone else.
"After I got the jade pendant, I heard that you were in Kyoto, so I followed you all the way from Suzhou to Kyoto."
He Congyi lowered his eyes, memories swirling in his mind: "I heard that you entered the palace."
The Shen family only gave him this little information at the time.
But after arriving in Kyoto, He Cong went forward to inquire.
It is known that there are probably only two paths for women who enter the palace.
One way is to enter the palace as a concubine, and the other is to become a palace maid.
He had no idea what to do at the time.
I had been silently fantasizing in my heart that Chen Fu entered the palace and became a maid.
With this idea in mind, he was admitted to the Imperial Medical Bureau and started as an eighth-rank medical officer. While working his way up, he was looking for people in the harem.
Until one day, he met Chen Fu who was admiring the garden in Yuyi Garden.
She stood in the crowd like the moon in everyone's heart, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, just like a fairy from heaven descending to the mortal world.
He Congyu still doesn't know how to describe how he felt at that time.
The person he had been waiting for for so long was now right in front of him.
He was even afraid that all this was just a dream.
Until she woke up from her beautiful dream, she heard a scream from the side, and someone knelt on the ground and leaned over to shout at her: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Only then did he wake up from his dream.
It turned out that the person he had been waiting for since childhood had already become someone else's wife.
