Just as Xue Danrong was staring at the water stains on the ground, Fang Chaozhou walked in from the door. He was still dressed the same as before, which made Xue Danrong frown at the first sight.
But Fang Chaozhou didn't seem to notice that he was in disarray. He ran to Xue Danrong and pulled him out. "Junior brother, can you help me check on Song Lianyi? I thought he had a fever, so I gave him a pill. Now he has a nosebleed. I checked his pulse and his breathing is very disordered."
When Xue Danrong heard his words, he not only did not quicken his pace, but pulled Fang Chaozhou back.
"Brother, weren't there two towels here before? Where is the other one?"
Fang Chaozhou met the boy's eyes and blinked twice quickly, "Lost."
"Lost?" Xue Danrong looked suspicious, "Brother, where did you lose it?"
Fang Chaozhou sighed, "Don't worry about the handkerchief now. Go check on Song Lianyi for me. If there's no hope, I'll ask his maid to come pick him up."
"Then you can go and call them now, senior brother." Xue Danrong replied calmly.
Fang Chaozhou: “…”
This brat.
"Come here!" Fang Chaozhou had no choice but to speak fiercely, "Go and take a look for me."
Finally, Xue Danrong helped him check on Song Lianyi's condition, and fortunately it was nothing serious. Song Lianyi's nosebleed stopped after a while, but after it stopped, she buried herself in the quilt, as if she didn't want to face Fang Chaozhou and Xue Danrong.
After Fang Chaozhou changed his clothes, he walked to the beauty bed and saw Song Lianyi still buried her face in the quilt, so he said, "If you don't get up, I will go to the palace and you will stay here alone."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Lianyi climbed up, sat up, and tore off the gauze on his head. The wound from yesterday has completely healed today, and there is not even a trace left.
Although his hands were short, they were very nimble. He quickly tied his hair into a bun and then dressed and put on his shoes by himself. He was so independent that even Fang Chaozhou, who was standing by, was a little surprised.
With the presence of Xue Danrong, everyone in the carriage was silent today. Hu Xiang was still wearing the thick fox fur which was inappropriate for the season, and she turned her head to look out the window. Song Lianyi huddled in the corner of the carriage, her eyes wandering, not knowing where to look, while Xue Danrong looked down at his hands.
Fang Chaozhou was the most comfortable person here. He looked left and right boredly, and noticed Xue Danrong looking at his hands, so he glanced at him too.
What's so good about this hand?
He turned his head away without interest and took out the medical book he had read halfway the day before. He should have continued reading it yesterday, but because Xue Danrong came, he didn't.
After turning about a dozen pages, the carriage stopped.
Afterwards, the four of them took a sedan chair into the emperor's bedroom.
This was Xue Danrong's first time here, but there was no fear or curiosity on his face, as if the palace was just an extremely ordinary place, and everyone who saw him was stunned.
Even the eunuchs guarding the emperor's bedroom forgot to call out when they saw Xue Danrong. It was not until Hu Xiang walked up to them and coughed heavily that the eunuchs quickly knelt on the ground.
"You should have been punished today, but now that the immortal is here, I won't bother with you. If you do this again next time, I won't let you off easily." Hu Xiang always spoke softly. After he reprimanded the eunuchs, he turned his head and looked at Fang Chaozhou, "Ninth Uncle, Master Xue, Sister Erya, let's go in."
When they entered, the old emperor had already sat up. He first saw Fang Chaozhou, and then his eyes fell on Xue Danrong next to him. He stared at him for a long while before beckoning Song Lianyi over.
As for Hu Xiang, who was kneeling on the ground and paying her respects, he completely ignored her.
"The Emperor has been waiting for you for a long time today. Why did you come just now?" The old emperor raised his hand and touched Song Lianyi's little head. His eyes turned to Xue Danrong again. "Er Ya, do you know him?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Chaozhou took the initiative to take over the topic, "Father, this is my junior brother." He paused, and when he was about to explain that Song Lianyi was not his daughter, he heard the old emperor speak.
"Oh, that's the junior brother, right? He looks pretty good." The old emperor squinted his eyes because he couldn't see clearly, so he needed to squint to look. "I think he's not bad. Chao Zhou, if you like him, just give him a title. There are many good things in the treasury. You can take some and give it to him."
"No, no, father, you misunderstood. Junior brother and I are not in that situation." Fang Chaozhou didn't expect that the old emperor still remembered the joke from yesterday.
When the old emperor heard this, his face darkened. "You are useless. Your wife is not here. What are you afraid of? Even if she were here, could she still control you?"
When Xue Danrong heard the word "daughter-in-law", his eyes instantly turned to Fang Chaozhou.
"Wife?" He whispered the word.
Fang Chaozhou looked at Xue Danrong and said immediately, "It's not what you think. I can explain." He looked at the old emperor again, "Father, I don't have any wife. Arya..."
Because the old emperor was very happy to see Song Lianyi yesterday, Fang Chaozhou couldn't help but pause. It was during this pause that someone came walking in the void.
The man, wearing white clothes and silk shoes and with his hair tied up with a jade crown, suddenly appeared in the emperor's bedroom, and none of the guards outside noticed him.
Fang Chaozhou turned around only after he sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy behind him. As soon as he turned around, he instantly became mute.
Zhongli Yueshui's eyes swept past Fang Chaozhou and fell on Song Lianyi who was standing beside the old emperor. When Song Lianyi met Zhongli Yueshui's eyes, she immediately wanted to escape, but she couldn't even take a step and turned back into a puppet.
The old emperor was so frightened when he saw that the little girl who had just sat next to him had disappeared and was replaced by a puppet, he could hardly speak.
And the next moment, the puppet was in Zhongli Yueshui's hands.
"Magic puppet?" Zhongli Yueshui whispered the two words. He frowned slightly, then raised his eyes to look at Fang Chaozhou. Fang Chaozhou forced a smile and hid behind Xue Danrong without showing any emotion.
Xue Danrong took a step forward to block Fang Chaozhou more tightly, and asked softly, "Why is the Grandmaster here?"
"If I don't come, I don't know what trouble you guys are going to cause." Zhongli Yueshui said in a cold voice, "Fang Chaozhou, stand up."
When Fang Chaozhou heard the tone, he felt something was wrong. He didn't want to go out, as he felt he would be beaten if he did.
At this moment, the old emperor's voice suddenly sounded, "Who are you? Why is my son so afraid of you? Are you my son's daughter-in-law? Also, why did you turn my granddaughter into a puppet?"
Fang Chaozhou immediately turned his head to look at the old emperor, his face full of fear, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing Fang Chaozhou's cowardly look, the old emperor became more and more certain that he had guessed correctly. As for Xue Danrong's words "Master", he could not hear it clearly because his voice was too soft. Of course, he did not hear Zhongli Yueshui's voice clearly either. He only saw that Fang Chaozhou hid behind Xue Danrong like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw someone.
As for Song Lianyi being turned into a puppet, he thought that since his son was a cultivator, the wife he would marry would naturally be a magician. It was not surprising to use magic to turn people into puppets.
In addition, the old emperor was old and his eyesight and hearing were not very good. Zhongli Yueshui was far away from him, so he mistook him for a woman.
The old emperor shook his head, with some disdain in his tone, "You are useless. You can't even tame a wife."
It's not a big deal for a man to be unable to control his wife and see her hiding behind a concubine. It's really a disgrace to the Fang royal family.
Fang Chaozhou opened his mouth to explain, but found that he was under a silencing and immobilizing spell, so the old emperor had no one to stop him and said everything. He asked Fang Chaozhou to act as a husband and said that he thought his junior brother was better and more well-behaved, and asked Fang Chaozhou to give his junior brother a status.
After the old emperor finished speaking, Fang Chaozhou felt that he was not far from death. Although the spell on him had now been lifted, he had nothing to say.
Xue Danrong on the side explained, "Grandmaster, Senior Brother's father is old, and it is normal for him to have misunderstandings."
"Why are you explaining for Fang Chaozhou? Xue Danrong, I'll settle your matter with you when I get back." Zhongli Yueshui's tone suddenly became much colder, "Fang Chaozhou, come out."
At this point, Fang Chaozhou has no way to hide and can only stand up. Zhongli Yueshui seemed to have intentionally restrained his pressure because he was in a place where mortals gathered, which resulted in Fang Chaozhou being able to clearly see the anger in Zhongli Yueshui's eyes.
He actually didn't do anything wrong. He left Huali Mountain with his master's consent and had legitimate reasons. Zhongli Yueshui shouldn't have taught him a lesson.
Thinking of this, Fang Chaozhou mustered up his courage and spoke again, "Master..."
He had only said one word when Zhongli Yueshui interrupted him, "Fang Chaozhou, why did you sign a contract with the puppet? How do you have such a thing?"
"I...I..." Fang Chaozhou stuttered for a moment. Why did he get scared when he saw Zhongli Yueshui? "This...was just an accident."
Zhongli Yueshui frowned, "I don't care if this is an accident or not. Tell me, where did this thing come from?"
"It belongs to Song Lianyi from Fengyue Temple." Fang Chaozhou had no choice but to sell Song Lianyi.
But Zhongli Yueshui did not let him go. Instead, his expression became uglier. "Fengyue Temple? Are you still involved with Fengyue Temple? Who was that puppet just now?"
Fang Chaozhou felt that the answer he gave was probably what Zhongli Yueshui didn't want to hear, but he couldn't lie now, "Song Lianyi." After thinking for a while, he added, "I really just sealed him in accidentally. It was completely an accident."
Zhongli Yueshui glanced at Fang Chaozhou and said nothing. Instead, he stared at the puppet in his hand for a while. After a while, he raised his hand and cast a spell on the puppet. There was a flash of white light, and a person fell to the ground.
It’s Song Lianyi.
He actually returned to his original appearance.
Song Lianyi supported herself on the ground with her hands and tried to get up, but Zhongli Yueshui took action. He cast a spell on Song Lianyi, and no one knew what the spell was. Anyway, Fang Chaozhou saw a translucent image appear in the air.
That picture is...
It was what happened between him and Song Lianyi in the rouge shop.
In the picture, he was stuffing the puppet into the hands of the bound Song Lianyi.
When Zhongli Yueshui saw this scene, he flicked the screen twice with his fingers. The screen blurred and when it reappeared, Fang Chaozhou had just tied up the man and put him on the chair. He pulled off his belt and pinched Song Lianyi's chin like a gangster.
Fang Chaozhou even heard a voice coming from the screen -
"Miss Song, since we last parted, I have been thinking about you day and night, and today I finally got what I wanted."
Not only that, the later part also restored in detail how he bullied Song Lianyi. The Fang Chaozhou in the picture was really too much. He flirted with Song Lianyi with words and played with the beautiful woman's feet.
He looks like a typical dissolute young dandy.
Fang Chaozhou: “…”
He carefully looked at the faces of the people around him.
Well, very good, everyone’s expressions are very interesting. It seems that he learned to be a pervert very well.
