Chapter 1332 The Concubine Should Not Be a Big Enemy (7)
Wen Congyun was copying scriptures in her own bedroom. After she fell hard, she finally realized that she was too hasty. Her impatience backfired on her, so after being confined to her room, she began to copy scriptures that could help her calm down.
After all, the third prince is only three years old, and the emperor is really young and strong, so there is no need to plan for that position so anxiously.
Wen Congyun tried her best to convince herself to calm down and lie low. The lesson of losing so many confidants this time was enough to make her sad.
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the maidservant standing by had begun to doze off, but Wen Congyun still sat up straight and copied the scriptures meticulously.
Suddenly a light breeze blew, and it seemed that something fell outside the window. Wen Congyun glanced outside and thought it was just fallen leaves or a wild cat.
However, with a bang, the maid beside her fell heavily to the ground and lost consciousness. Wen Congyun was startled and quickly put down his pen to check.
She had just squatted down when she suddenly realized something. She turned her head sharply and saw that a tall man in black was standing behind her.
"Fang Zheng!" Wen Congyun's eyes lit up when she saw him, and she shouted in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand to her and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you."
Wen Congyun took his hand, stood up, and asked with some concern: "What did you do to my maid?"
"Don't worry, I'll just let her sleep for a few hours. It won't have any effect on her body." Fang Zheng replied.
"That's good. Please help me get her to the couch. She is my maid after all." Wen Congyun thought of something that made her unhappy and said with a gloomy face, "My confidants were killed or driven away by the emperor. There are not many left."
Fang Zheng grabbed the unconscious maid's collar as if he was holding something, and threw her roughly onto the couch. After hearing Wen Congyun's words, he frowned and asked, "The dog emperor is treating you harshly again? Congyun, do you really not want me to kill him? If we kill him, we can send the third prince to the throne, and then you will be the queen dowager who rules the country from behind the curtain. Let's see who can hinder us..."
Wen Congyun was shocked when she heard what he said. She quickly covered his mouth and said anxiously, "A Zheng, don't talk nonsense! The emperor is not that easy to kill. There are many secret guards with strong martial arts around him. You are alone and can't kill him. Besides, I am afraid that something will happen to you... Now the emperor doesn't like to come to me anymore, and it won't hinder us. We just need to wait patiently. There will always be a day when we get what we want. Don't worry..."
It took Wen Congyun a long time to persuade Fang Zheng to give up the impulse to assassinate the emperor.
If Lu Shichu was here and saw Fang Zheng, he would be very shocked, because Fang Zheng was the commander of the Imperial Guards in the original world. He was a top military scholar, had superb martial arts skills, and had a smooth official career. It took him less than ten years to become the emperor's confidant, and the emperor entrusted his own safety to him.
However, Fang Zheng, who should have been loyal to the current emperor, made great efforts when the third prince seized the throne. If he had not defected, it would not have been so easy for the third prince to seize the throne.
The original owner in the original world did not understand why this commander would help the third prince, and guessed that he was lured over by the third prince. But now, the reason is clear, because he and Wen Congyun are old acquaintances, and it seems that they have a close relationship. After all, isn't the relationship close enough to be able to enter a woman's bedroom in the middle of the night?
In fact, Fang Zheng and Wen Congyun were childhood sweethearts and neighbors. If nothing unexpected had happened, they would have naturally become a loving couple. However, when Wen Congyun was thirteen years old, Fang Zheng suddenly went out to travel, and some accidents happened in Wen Congyun's family, so she had to enter the palace, and so the two lovers parted ways.
Later, when Fang Zheng returned home from his travels, he found that Xiao Qingmei had already entered the palace. He was shocked, angry, regretful, and in pain, but it was all to no avail. He was unwilling to let Xiao Qingmei give up on him and marry someone else, so he relied on his superb martial arts to sneak into the deep palace, just to ask Wen Congyun why she left him behind and entered the palace.
Wen Congyun cried and explained to him that she had no choice but to enter the palace. If possible, she only wanted to live with him, but the situation was urgent and Fang Zheng was not at home. She had no one to turn to for help, so she had to enter the palace. Now that the matter is done and she has become the emperor's concubine, everything is impossible. She only hopes that Fang Zheng will forget her and find a gentle and considerate woman to marry in the future...
She spoke so pitifully that she successfully gained Fang Zheng's trust and made him feel guilty about her. He thought that it was because he was not at home that she had to enter the palace. So he obeyed her every word: take the martial arts exam, gain the emperor's trust, and step into the official career step by step to protect them and their son...
But that was all in the future. Fang Zheng had never passed the martial arts exam in his life. At this moment, Fang Zheng finally listened to Wen Congyun's advice and decided not to assassinate the emperor.
When he realized that there were not even a few servants in Wen Congyun's palace, which seemed very desolate and lonely, his face turned cold again and he asked Wen Congyun: "Congyun, why is your palace so deserted? Did the emperor banish you to the cold palace?"
"No, you misunderstood." Wen Congyun hurriedly shook his head and explained to Fang Zheng how he wanted to seek refuge with Concubine Lu but failed, and instead implicated a group of his close confidants, angering the emperor.
After Fang Zheng heard her story, he stroked her hair lovingly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. To survive in this deep palace, you must be careful and attentive. It was because of that Concubine Lu who didn't know what was good for you and had no mercy at all that you were punished by the dog emperor."
"I'm fine, I'm just under house arrest. I wish I didn't have to go out." Wen Congyun smiled at him gently, "I've long been tired of those women's hypocrisy. Now that I'm under house arrest, I don't have to worry about being schemed against by them."
Fang Zheng felt even more distressed for Wen Congyun after hearing this, and couldn't help but hold her in his arms lovingly: "Congyun..."
Wen Congyun also hugged him back tightly.
After an unknown amount of time, Fang Zheng finally came out of Wen Congyun's palace. Just as he was about to leave the palace, he suddenly remembered that Wen Congyun had said she wanted to seek refuge with Concubine Lu, so he followed the route she had mentioned and went to Concubine Lu's palace.
Lu Shichu never expected that even though he was living in the deep palace, someone would dare to sneak into his bedroom.
Although the man's martial arts was very strong and his breath was almost subtle, Lu Shichu's martial arts was even better than his, so she still noticed even such a slight sound.
But she didn't open her eyes to see what the person was going to do.
