Chapter 129 I'm scared of you! What did you do last night...?
Fu Jun naturally had no objection to this; Zhi Lan had been out of the palace for a whole day, and it was indeed time for her to return.
As Zhilan prepared to descend the city wall, she glanced at Fu Jun and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back first."
Fu Yun immediately waved her hand to decline: "No need, it's so late, you and Commander Ye don't need to think about taking me home, hurry up and go back to rest."
Seeing that Zhilan frowned slightly, she clearly wanted to say something more.
Fu Yun quickly said, "You two really don't need to see me off. Didn't you send Guard Fang to protect me secretly? With her there, that's enough."
As he spoke, he reached out and grasped Zhilan's hand. The soft, gentle touch of her skin against his palm made his breath catch in his throat slightly, and a pang of heartache swept through him.
However, he quickly suppressed the flutter in his heart and looked at Zhilan with focused eyes: "Besides, I feel sorry for you."
Zhilan paused slightly, a wave of tenderness washing over her, and her eyes filled with affection.
Seeing this, Ye Lan's expression became somewhat subtle. She touched her nose and turned her head to look elsewhere.
Fu Jun had already forgotten about Ye Lan's presence. His gaze was fixed on Zhi Lan's eyes, and he said sincerely, "You've been out all day, and you must have a lot of government affairs to deal with. I don't want to see you stay up all night dealing with memorials again, nor do I want you to spend your time on trivial things like sending me off. I hope you can take better care of yourself and not overwork your health."
Zhilan's heart melted completely. She opened her arms and hugged Fu Jun, comforting him, "Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I'll do as you say."
As the two embraced tightly, she patted Fu Jun's back, her tone both helpless and indulgent: "I'm really afraid of you. I don't know if Heaven sent you to my side to punish me or to show me mercy. Why are you even more talkative than my personal maid?"
Fu Yun: "..." Isn't this because you're a workaholic? Otherwise, why would I have to remind you again and again?
Only when you make a deep impression on it can you truly listen to it!
Zhilan cherished the intimacy of embracing Fu Jun, but she had to let go of the little guy in front of her. She sighed softly, her tone full of regret: "Although I am the ruler of a country, I cannot summon my noble lord at all times. I am afraid there has never been such a frustrated emperor in history."
Fu Yun felt very guilty after hearing Zhi Lan's words. He understood that Zhi Lan had sacrificed a lot in this relationship, not only silently protecting him but also respecting his wishes, never putting pressure on him or forcing him to do things he didn't like.
As the supreme ruler of the land, what kind of man couldn't she have?
It's simply because she is sincere in her feelings and devoted to her love.
This is an honor that no other man can enjoy. For Zhilan to have her gaze linger on him is truly the greatest luck of her life.
"I'm sorry, this is my problem. Please give me some more time. Once I've finished what I need to do, I'll be wholeheartedly with you, okay?"
Zhilan reached out and pinched Fu Jun's smooth cheek with her fingertips, saying in an annoyed tone, "Only you dare to let me see you but not touch you. You clearly have a noble consort, yet you can't help warm the bed. How pitiful!"
When Zhilan pinched him, Fu Yun felt inexplicably ashamed, and even had the feeling that he was the little darling husband.
Suddenly, a surge of heat rushed up without warning, causing Fu Junjun's face to turn bright red: "This..."
Seeing Fu Yun blush with delight, Zhi Lan was in a great mood and her desire to tease him intensified: "But I can't blame you. I'm so in love with you, there's nothing I can do about it. I really want to take you back to the palace and make sure you stay by my side and can't go anywhere else."
Fu Yun's body trembled, fearing that Zhi Lan would really pull such a move and tie him up and take him back to the palace.
He also discovered a little habit of Zhilan's: when she spoke her mind, she would usually refer to herself as "朕" (Zhen, the imperial "I"), as if it were a way for her to express herself when she was more relaxed.
Seeing that Fu Yun's body stiffened, as if he had taken it seriously, Zhi Lan immediately felt a little sorry for him: "Alright, alright, I'll let you go. Hurry up and go down, Guard Fang is waiting for you down the city wall."
Fu Yun breathed a sigh of relief and was about to wave goodbye when Zhi Lan reached out and hugged him again, pressing her arm firmly against his lower back before reluctantly withdrawing her arm and instructing him, "Go on, be careful on the road."
Fu Yun took two steps back, widening the distance between them: "Then I'm leaving. Be careful when you return to the palace."
After saying that, he turned and walked down the stone steps.
Upon seeing Fu Yun, Guard Fang quickly approached: "Back to the Su residence?"
Fu Jun nodded: "Okay, we can go back now."
Led by Guard Fang, he arrived at the carriage that had taken him back.
There was no coachman on the carriage, meaning that the temporary substitute coachman left and never returned.
The guard lifted the curtain, and after Fu Yun got into the carriage, she sat in the coachman's seat.
Fu Yun didn't ask any further questions and followed the instructions of the guards.
It was an hour later when Fu Yun returned to the Su residence that she belatedly realized that Ye Lan had only mentioned the news about the Wang family head and Su Tan, and had not yet mentioned the latest news about Mu Xin.
I wonder what big move Mu Xin is planning. I hope she won't threaten Zhilan's safety.
He still remembered Mu Xin's sinister eyes, filled with hostility, clearly showing his deep hatred for Zhilan.
The more Fu Jun thought about it, the more worried he became, which prevented him from falling asleep peacefully. He managed to doze off for a while in the middle of the night.
It felt like only a short while before dawn broke.
Cheng Jincheng came over early in the morning and banged on the door loudly: "Boss, it's time to get up. You promised to practice every day, so don't be lazy."
Because of lack of sleep, Fu Yun woke up feeling dizzy and disoriented, and was momentarily unable to fully wake up.
He patted his cheeks, finally managing to wake up from his daze.
"They're here."
When Fu Yun opened the door with dark circles under his eyes, Cheng Jincheng outside was startled by his half-dead appearance: "Boss, what did you do last night? How did you end up like this?"
Fu Yun replied casually, "I got back late and had a bit of insomnia."
Cheng Jincheng stared at Fu Yun for a long time before concluding, "You didn't encounter a female ghost that drained your life force on your way back, did you?"
Fu Yun rolled her eyes at Cheng Jincheng, annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about? You actually believe in this stuff?"
Cheng Jincheng said dismissively, "This thing is a matter of belief; if you believe it, it exists, if you don't, it doesn't. I'm not exaggerating, but you really look like someone who has had their life force drained by a female ghost and become listless."
Fu Yun ignored Cheng Jincheng and went to wash up.
Cheng Jincheng followed closely behind him, continuing to express his own opinions.
"If it's not one of these strange events, then are you in a relationship?"
Fu Yun: "..."
Cheng Jincheng said in a serious tone, "As far as I know, after falling in love, both men and women will experience symptoms such as anxiety, restlessness, and insomnia."
"Hey boss, who's got your eye on? Tell me about it!"
Fu Yun's head was throbbing from his noise: "Have you washed up yet?"
Cheng Jincheng casually replied, "No."
Fu Yun: "Then hurry up and go. The first thing you do after getting up isn't to wash up, but to come knocking on my door. What are you thinking?"
Cheng Jincheng said nonchalantly, "What does it matter? Just wash it before breakfast, right?"
He followed closely behind Fu Yun, and soon returned to the main topic, persistently asking, "Hey, just tell me, did you talk to her or not?"
Fu Yun said with a headache, "Don't ask anymore. Whether it's true or not, it's too early to talk about these things now."
His tone revealed a hint of stubbornness: "Our most important task right now is to get the training camp on the right track."
Cheng Jincheng's eyes lit up with gossip: "So, that means you're pregnant?"
"Young Master Su, you're up?"
