Fu Hanlai was waiting outside. Just as Jiang Xuelin had said, she would bring him along next time. Although this time was different from that night, Fu Hanlai obviously didn't mind. With him, the heir of the Prince of Ping, there was even less chance that the guards around would stop them.
When Jiang Xue came out, he was kicking the flower bed out of boredom.
"it's over?"
"Okay, let's go back."
"good."
After walking out of the former Prince Cheng's mansion, Jiang Xuelin finally shared her thoughts. However, she did not mention the reason why Fei Qing did this, as it was Fei Qing's private matter. She would not tell anyone without Fei Qing's consent, not even Fu Ashou.
Fu Hanlai boarded the carriage, stroking his chin. "This matter is not difficult. My royal uncle has no intention of making things difficult for an innocent woman."
When he mentioned the words "innocent woman," Fu Hanlai clearly felt a bit of a pain in his teeth. Others might not know what Fei Qing had done, but he, who had followed Jiang Xuelin and witnessed everything, knew perfectly well.
"...In short, the Emperor has no intention of making things difficult for her, and she has even saved the lives of the Emperor and his cousin. So, even if she doesn't want to stay in the royal temple and wants to go somewhere else incognito, or even if she has other requests, such as saving the women of the Yongchang Marquis's family, the Emperor would probably not refuse."
Therefore, if Fei Qing wanted to leave, he didn't even need Fu Han to beg him. He only needed to convey Fei Qing's wishes to Emperor Xuande and the Crown Prince, and Fei Qing would get his way.
"Don't go back to the Prince's Mansion. Let's go straight to the palace and get things done as soon as possible so you won't have to worry about it."
These past few days, Jiang Xuelin has been worried about that Fei Qing. Tch!
When Emperor Xuande saw Fu Han approaching, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
He already doted on his nephew Fu Hanlai, and now that Fu Hanlai had made a great contribution, he asked, "Why did Ah Shou come over?"
"Do you miss your uncle? Doesn't your uncle miss me?"
The Crown Prince, who was reviewing memorials nearby, shook his head upon hearing this. He thought that perhaps only Ah Shou in the entire world would speak to his father like that.
He has not fully recovered yet, but there are many things to do in the court, so Emperor Xuande asked him to handle some simple matters without too much trouble.
He was never envious. After all, the two of them had different personalities and different plans for the future. He had his own responsibilities, unlike Ah Shou who had a very easy life every day.
After Fu Hanlai conveyed Fei Qing's intentions, Emperor Xuande pondered for a moment and then agreed, "However, this matter is not suitable to be brought up in the open. Let her go to Jiangnan under a different identity."
Otherwise, those censors would definitely criticize him, and Emperor Xuande didn't want to face them.
"Your Highness, I've heard that your uncle has always wanted a daughter. How about we adopt a goddaughter?"
Fei Qing saved him, saved the Crown Prince, and indirectly saved the Cheng'en Duke's Mansion. By making Fei Qing their daughter, she wouldn't be bullied even if she went to Jiangnan. With the name of the Cheng'en Duke's Mansion, she could live a good life.
"And as the daughter of the Duke of Chengen's family, it won't delay her remarriage in the future."
If she were still the former Princess Consort of Cheng, it would be very difficult for her to remarry.
Now, not only was Fu Han surprised to arrive, but even the Crown Prince was somewhat taken aback.
Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, Emperor Xuande stroked his beard with a smile. "What? Didn't expect me to agree to Fei's remarriage? She deserves this for saving my life. Besides, she's not even twenty yet. Do you expect her to suffer for that rebellious son for decades?"
The words "Is he worthy?" that were gleaming brightly in Emperor Xuande's eyes almost blinded Fu Hanlai.
Knowing that Jiang Xuelin was waiting for him at the palace gate, Fu Hanlai didn't stay long. He got the result he wanted and quickly left the palace, telling Jiang Xuelin about Emperor Xuande's arrangements.
—It's much better than they initially thought.
"Our Emperor is truly a rare person of great magnanimity."
Fu Hanlai: "..."
What about me?
What about my contribution? Was it only my uncle who made the contribution?
"There are many literati and poets in Jiangnan. Qing'er herself loves poetry and books. She might actually find a compatible partner in Jiangnan. That would be great! We can introduce her to a few handsome men then!"
Fu Hanlai remained silent.
Fu Hanlai got angry.
Fu Hanlai is going to cause trouble.
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Xuelin couldn't help but narrow her eyes dangerously when she saw Fu Hanlai's dark face. "You don't actually think that Qing'er should remain a widow for that idiot Fu Yunhui, do you?"
With a fist about to land on his face, Fu Hanlai could no longer remain silent.
If you stay silent any longer, you'll get beaten up.
"Of course not, Fu Yunhui is not worthy!"
Having received a satisfactory answer, Jiang Xuelin continued to fantasize, "I wonder if Qing'er prefers that kind of compatibility. If not, there are other types in Jiangnan. Anyway, it's a good place, and she should be happy there."
Fu Hanlai fell silent again.
Then Jiang Xuelin fell silent. Fu Hanlai looked up and found that the other person was staring at him, her beautiful eyes bright and clear, as if they held the entire sky within them. "...What?"
"I've noticed you've been acting a bit strange since we left the palace."
Fu Hanlai pursed his lips, turned his head to the other side, and turned his back to Jiang Xuelin. "I went through all the trouble of going to the palace and even managed to get such a good result for your dear sister. Don't you have anything to say?"
Jiang Xuelin blinked, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Fu Hanlai's shoulder, trying to turn him around. Fu Hanlai angrily shook off her hand and gave her two cold snorts.
"Fu Ashou, don't push your luck."
Reach out again.
This time, Fu Hanlai was quite accommodating and obediently turned around.
Jiang Xuelin leaned in and kissed his tense face. "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Ashou."
"……snort!"
The carriage slowly drove away.
