King of the World
Lin Yanan propped up his head and looked at her, his eyes full of smiles, "Is it delicious?"
Fu Huaiying raised her eyes, hummed, and lowered her head to finish the bowl of fish soup.
Lin Yan'an saw it and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. As expected, he was the most suitable person for Huaiying. He remembered clearly what she liked and disliked. No one could compare to him.
Fu Huaiying ate her meal slowly. Seeing that all the food in front of her was her favorite, she became more curious about Lin Yan'an.
Seeing that Lin Yan'an didn't move his chopsticks at all, she gently put down the spoon in her hand and asked casually, "Why were you making a fuss outside just now?"
"I didn't make a fuss. That bastard was just spewing shit. I couldn't stand it, so I took action to discipline him."
"Did he scold you?"
"No, it has nothing to do with me. I'm just speaking up for justice."
Speak up for justice? They beat people so hard that they can't even stand up.
Fu Huaiying glanced at him and didn't ask any more questions. Since he didn't want to say it, then forget it. It wasn't something nice to hear anyway, so why bother listening to it?
"Sister Huaiying..."
"Um?"
Lin Yan'an looked into her clear eyes and swallowed the words "Can you marry me?" He was silent for a moment, then lowered his eyes and chuckled at Fu Huaiying's curious gaze. He understood her and knew that as long as she had power, she would not be willing to hide in the backyard. He would never force her to do anything she didn't want to do. As long as she could spare a moment to look at him, that would be enough.
"What do you want to say?"
Lin Yan'an shook his head. "Nothing, I just wanted to ask you about Chu Sheng's entry into the palace today."
Fu Huaiying held up his face, touched Xiaobai who had run out, and said slowly: "His Majesty only summoned him. I didn't go in, so I don't know what happened. However, he didn't look very happy when he came out."
"Xu is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. It would be strange if he looked happy since his sister died."
Fu Huaiying sneered, "If he really loved his sister, why would he let her be a slave? Unless the master is lenient, otherwise, if she signs the indenture, she will be a slave for life. He is two years older than her, so why doesn't he sign the indenture himself?"
After hearing what she said, Lin Yanan felt that it was true. If he really loved her, he would never let her sell herself out.
Lin Yan'an took out some snacks from his sleeve and placed them next to him. Xiaobai seemed to understand human nature and rubbed them in Fu Huaiying's hand again and again before leaning over to eat.
Fu Huaiying couldn't help laughing at this scene. "What does this mean? Is it telling me to come back to me after I finish eating?"
"It's Sister Huaiying who really likes it. When I raised it before, it never received this kind of treatment."
Fu Huaiying waited until it finished eating before standing up and said, "It's getting late, we should go back."
Lin Yan'an nodded, "But I want to take you to a place first."
"Where?"
"You'll know when you get there."
Fu Huaiying originally planned to go back as soon as possible to give lectures to Chen Huanli, but when he looked up and saw Lin Yanan's beautiful face, he agreed to it for some unknown reason.
Fu Huaiying followed him into the carriage. Since there was no groom, Lin Yan'an had to act as the groom. She thought Lin Yan'an would take her to a beautiful place, or somewhere fun, at least not like this... temple...
"Why did you bring me here?"
Lin Yan'an smiled without saying anything, and just pulled her to the window. It was late at night and very dark. The lights were on inside, but no one outside could be seen. Fu Huaiying looked inside and saw Wen Shuangye lying on the bed and screaming in pain.
The emperor was quick and sent someone to whip her ten times. Fu Liusong felt it was too shameful, so he sent her to the temple to reflect on her actions.
Fu Huaiying narrowed her eyes. This was a good opportunity. Liushuang should have taken action earlier.
Lin Yanan was a head taller than her. He gently held her in his arms, lowered his head, and whispered in her ear, his voice as light as a feather, "Sister, can I help you kill her?"
Fu Huaiying raised her eyes and met his, catching a glimpse of madness that had not yet dissipated. She shook her head and pulled Lin Yan'an out.
She inexplicably felt that if she didn't pull Lin Yan'an away, he would really go crazy and kill Wen Shuangye.
"Sister doesn't want her to die?"
Fu Huaiying smiled, but her eyes were cold. "Killing her is easy, but what about the Wen family? How do I explain this to His Majesty?"
Lin Yan'an didn't care. "I killed her, imprisoned her, exiled her, it's all up to you. Your Majesty will never take my life."
Fu Huaiying was a little surprised. Did he have a grudge against Wen Shuangye? Could it be that it was just because of her?
"No, at least she can't die now."
She had to support Chen Huanli. Only with military power could she have the right to speak. She couldn't destroy the Marquis' Mansion for Wen Shuangye. For the sake of her future, she absolutely couldn't break off relations with the Wen family. Otherwise, as long as Wen Chuyan was alive, Chen Huanli would have no chance.
Lin Yan'an really wanted to kill her. If Fu Liusong and Wen Shuangye died earlier, would it eliminate the possibility of Huaiying committing suicide?
Fu Huaiying pulled him, made him lower his head, and put her face close to his. Her voice was bewitching, "Tell me, why do you want to kill her?"
"I just don't like her. I always do things according to my heart."
Fu Huaiying shook her head and pushed him away. "You lied again."
Lin Yan'an pinched his nose and said, "I'm not lying. If my sister doesn't like something, then naturally I don't like it either. When it comes to Madam Fu, I naturally feel a little disgusted on her behalf."
Fu Huaiying glanced at him and said, "Don't act on your own. I have my own arrangements."
She didn't need Lin Yan'an to risk his future to help her get rid of Wen Shuangye. She wanted her to die, but she didn't want to dirty her hands.
"Where's Hefeng?"
"I didn't let him come. Does my sister have something to do with him?"
Fu Huaiying turned around and looked at the lighted Zen room. "I wanted to ask him to run an errand for me, but forget it, I'll go by myself."
"Where are you going? I'll take you there."
"Liyuan."
Lin Yan'an was puzzled. What was he doing at the opera house so late at night? He pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly changed. What else could he do at the opera house besides watching those opera singers? Could it be that Huaiying had been seduced by those opera singers? That didn't make sense. With him so beautiful before her, how could Huaiying be attracted to those opera singers?
Fu Huaiying looked at his expression and guessed what he was thinking. She raised her hand and patted his head, "Stop thinking about nonsense. I have something important to do."
The door of the opera house was tightly shut. Fu Huaiying knocked for a long time before someone poked his head out from inside. "You are..."
"I'm here to look for Liu Shuang." Fu Huaiying looked at his slightly wary expression and didn't plan to go in. Instead, she asked him to pass on the message, "Just give him a message for me."
"……good."
"What did she say?" Liushuang was covered with a cloak, lying in the rocking chair with her eyes closed.
"The girl just said Thousand Buddha Temple and left."
Liu Shuang opened his eyes and realized that it was Fu Huaiying who was urging him. He chuckled: "She is so cautious that she doesn't even dare to say a complete sentence. Forget it, I will help her with this."
Lin Yan'an was even more confused. He didn't know why Fu Huaiying told Liu Shuang inside the Thousand Buddha Temple that Wen Shuangye was living there.
"Huaiying..."
Seeing what he was thinking, Fu Huaiying took a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth. "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. You will know when the time comes."
Lin Yan'an wanted to say more, but his mouth was filled with malt candy and he couldn't speak. He turned around to ask her for another piece, but saw a familiar figure wearing a veiled hat entering from the backyard of Wanhua Tower.
Fu Huaiying followed his gaze, but saw nothing. Feeling puzzled, she tugged at the corner of his clothes, "What's wrong? What did you see?"
Lin Yan'an narrowed his eyes. He was not mistaken. It was Prince Huan. How could he appear in Wanhua Tower? In the previous life, Prince Huan was the prince most valued by His Majesty. But in the previous life, it was not him who ascended the throne, but the inconspicuous Third Prince. Prince Huan was one step behind. He was too anxious. If he had waited patiently for His Majesty's death, he might have been able to sit on that position safely.
Previous life
Huaiying always goes back to her parents' home on Liumei's memorial day.
One year, it rained heavily and Lin Yan'an was worried that she would catch a cold, so he asked her not to go that year.
Fu Huaiying just patted his hand gently, "Husband, you don't understand. I don't have to go to worship my mother. I just want to tell myself to never forget how she died."
"Forget it, I'll go with you."
Fu Huaiying relented and agreed to take him with her, but they ran into King Huan halfway. When the two carriages met, it was natural for them to give way.
Lin Yan'an ordered the coachman to step aside, but when he looked up, he saw King Huan coming down and walking towards them with an umbrella. He was slightly stunned and immediately went down to greet him.
But Huaiying sat motionless in the carriage and had no intention of getting off. Although this was disrespectful, Lin Yan'an did not want to wrong her, so he just used the excuse that his wife was weak and could not stand the cold.
But Prince Huan still refused to give in. He stood beside the carriage in the rain. Even with half of his robe wet, he refused to leave and just waited for her to lift the curtain. Lin Yan'an felt uncomfortable for a moment because he would never make Huaiying unhappy.
"Your Highness, it's raining so hard, it's better to go back quickly."
"This king wants to see her today."
Lin Yan'an didn't argue with him anymore, but just stood beside the carriage and didn't let him get close.
As the two of them were in a stalemate, Fu Huaiying lifted the curtain and glanced at them quietly with her slightly cold eyes before speaking coldly, "Your Highness, are you determined to make things difficult for me today?"
"I just want to see you, is it so difficult?"
Lin Yan'an looked at his affectionate eyes and Meng Lang's words, and was furious. Why did they want to steal his girl?
"Your Majesty, be careful with your words. Huaiying is my wife. Where does your words today put her? Where does that put me?"
Prince Huan looked at him with eyes full of jealousy, "If you hadn't interfered, she would be my princess today!"
Fu Huaiying reached out and pulled the angry Lin Yan'an, then touched his head to calm him down, then raised her eyes and looked directly into King Huan's eyes.
"Your Highness is wrong. If Yan An wasn't there, there would be someone else, and it definitely wouldn't be you."
"...Why...how can he compare to me..."
Fu Huaiying's voice was cold and emotionless. "I told the prince a long time ago that my father was an imperial censor, and I still have a bit of character. I will never be a concubine. Your Highness, when you promised me the position of concubine, it was already an offense. Stopping the carriage today is even more reckless. If you don't want to be impeached, please go back."
Fu Huaiying gently pulled Lin Yan'an out of his memories, "It's King Huan."
Fu Huaiying looked over again. She was not a fool, so she would not think that King Huan went to Wanhua Tower just to seek pleasure, unless he was the actual controller behind Wanhua Tower.
"let's go."
Lin Yan'an was still looking in that direction. "Sister, don't you want to know what King Huan is going to do? Why don't we wait here and see?"
