This had never happened in his previous life. That was the first time Yuan Lu saw Yuan Mingdao practicing martial arts in the outer courtyard. He punched the ground with great vigor. He had short hair and wore a thin shirt. His figure was obvious and his body was agile. He would never mistake him for a girl.
In this life, Yuan Lu's young heart was deeply hurt by the "pretty sister". His pitiful first love ended in vain. He cried loudly in grievance, and turned his head to look at Yuan Mingdao from time to time. When he got permission, he reached out and touched the hard chest muscles that he had trained during this period, and then cried even harder.
At this time, the adults also came over from the pavilion. After everyone bowed to Fu Zhiyu according to the rules, they relaxed.
"There are no outsiders here, don't be afraid, Zhiyu is not someone who sticks to etiquette," Yuan Jiang walked forward. He was a military general who had been stationed at the border for a long time. He was tall and had dark skin. He patted his daughter's shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be nervous."
As the elder sister, Yuan Xi was not as young as Yuan Lu and could not remember the past events. She smiled at Fu Zhiyu in a friendly manner and said, "It's been a long time since we last met."
Fu Zhiyu also smiled at her, took out a cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Yuan Xi, and said: "I brought a gift for Sister Xi. It is a dagger from the palace, left over from the previous dynasty, and is a rare fine product. Although it is impolite to give such a sharp weapon to a girl, we don't care about this in our family. This dagger can cut iron like mud, it is nimble and light, and it suits you very well."
Yuan Xi took it and looked at it. He immediately unsheathed the blade and took a look at it. He liked it so much that he couldn't let it go. He thanked Fu Zhiyu and went aside to try out the dagger.
Fu Zhiyu also prepared gifts for others, and put them aside. But Yuan Jiangwen came up at this time and picked up his son who was crying like a dog. He was thin, had a small mustache, and a cheerful personality. He laughed without giving any face, and then called Fu Zhiyu, "Don't give Yuan Lu any gifts for the time being. Look at him, he won't listen to a word. Come in and sit for a while."
So, he led Yuan Mingdao, who didn't know what expression he should make, inside, greeted the two aunts one by one, and waited for a while before he saw Master Yuan and Madam Yuan coming over.
"I practiced outside with my wife for a while and worked up a sweat. It felt good! What a nice day today!"
As soon as Mr. Yuan came in, he burst into laughter. His face was ruddy and he looked very energetic. Fu Zhiyu looked at his complexion and found that it was indeed much better than the last time they saw each other. It seemed that the pine nut candy he sent did have some effect.
The eldest aunt covered her mouth and smiled, "After returning this time, my father and mother are in much better health. I am happy to see that."
"I think that as long as you are full, eat more meat, and your body will naturally be healthy." The elder lady stretched her shoulders, sat down, touched the fruit on the table and ate it, and then used her own logic to educate the children in the room, "I will cook a table of dishes myself later, you all eat more! Only by eating more can you be as healthy as me."
At this moment, everyone in the room burst into laughter. Everyone knew what Madam Yuan usually did, and they all started talking at once, recalling what had happened before. The atmosphere was very relaxed, and even Yuan Lu, who was crying, was diverted and started laughing along with them.
The two large boxes of pastries that Fu Zhiyu had taken a detour to buy came in handy at this time, and everyone shared them while chatting.
Yuan Jiangwen and Yuan Jiangxing were both talkative. One of them talked about his experience in the frontier. The small town he guarded was not very chaotic. It was on the west side of the border, bordering Jingguo.
To be fair, Fu Qingyan's ability in governing a country is indeed good. Jing State was originally a small country with weak military power. In recent years, it has shown signs of submission. No one dares to cause trouble at the border and the country is very peaceful. The two countries trade with each other in that place, and the people are simple and honest. The emperor is far away, so Yuan Jiangxing lives a life like a local emperor there, which is not bad, except that he is far away from home and cannot return to Beijing to see his parents without the emperor's summons.
As for Yuan Jiangwen, a businessman who travels everywhere, it is even more interesting. He is also eloquent, and he can make a story about how lychees from southern Xinjiang are worth thousands of gold each when compared to lychees from the capital, which makes people laugh. Yuan Mingdao also listened attentively and felt as if he were there himself.
Although Fu Zhiyu came here with serious business, he would rather spend time doing these seemingly meaningless things with his family. For him, these are the truly important things in life.
After lunch, he called his two uncles and said he had something to discuss.
However, when the two uncles met him alone, he was not as active as he was in the morning.
After Yuan Jiangwen sat down, he sighed and said, "When I was in Southern Xinjiang, I kept thinking of Wanyun. When she was young, she read a book and thought that Southern Xinjiang was full of flowers and warm all year round, not as cold as the capital, so she begged her family to go there. In fact, Southern Xinjiang is not as good as she imagined, but..."
He stopped talking and took out a hairpin from his bosom. It had tiny flowers made of rose quartz on it. It was very beautiful.
"I bought this in Southern Xinjiang. Although it's not as valuable as the things in the palace, it was custom-made for a mother-in-law in Southern Xinjiang. She saw the portrait I brought to Wanyun and said that such a beautiful woman should wear a beautiful hairpin," Yuan Jiangwen handed it to Fu Zhiyu and said, "Give this to her when you return to the palace. I have always thought that if Wanyun was not so beautiful, maybe her life would be smoother."
Yuan Jiangxing didn't say anything, just listened to all this, and his face didn't look very good.
Fu Zhiyu knew that his uncle had beaten the emperor, and was afraid that when he came back, he would be unhappy again and beat the emperor again. He took the hairpin and said, "I also want mother to come out and meet everyone."
"Is it okay?!" Yuan Jiangxing was excited when he heard this. He stood up and hesitated, "But she is a concubine..."
Fu Zhiyu knew that according to palace rules, a concubine of the Yun Imperial Noble Consort's rank was only allowed to leave the palace for one day when attending the funeral of her biological parents.
It was not difficult to get Yuan's parents to visit the palace occasionally, but it was almost impossible for this large family. However, Yuan Jiangxing would leave soon after reporting on his work, and Yuan Jiangwen could not stay for too long due to business. Although there was still a lot of time in the future, the next few years were still difficult. Fu Zhiyu really could not ignore her mother's wish.
"I want to take my mother out of the palace in these few days."
"The emperor won't agree..." Yuan Jiangxing just said a few words, then he reacted immediately and lowered his voice, "Are you planning to take your sister out of the palace secretly?"
Fu Zhiyu comforted him, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility."
"We're not worried about that," the two looked at each other and calmed down together, "Is there anything you need us to do?"
"Nothing is needed," Fu Zhiyu said, "but even if mother comes out, she can't stay for too long. I will send a letter to the family in advance, and make preparations. We can just close the door and refuse visitors at that time."
"Of course," Yuan Jiangxing responded, and then as if he had realized something, he looked at Fu Zhiyu in surprise, "Wait, Zhiyu, are you... okay with your brain?"
After they came back, they both quickly learned what happened in the Liuli Palace. They didn't dare to mention it in the morning, for fear of piercing his wounds. Fu Zhiyu also behaved very quietly, and he really looked different from before.
Fu Zhiyu smiled and said, "I have no problem at all, I was just pretending."
At this point, he also became serious and said, "I told this to my two uncles because I want to ask you for help. It's not just me, it's also my mother's wish."
It took him some time to explain to the two of them what had happened recently. He naturally did not mention his rebirth. He only said that the palace was a cannibalistic place. After walking through the gates of hell, he realized that this place was not suitable for him and his mother. He did not want to stand out, and he did not want to stay here for long.
"You are planning to leave," Yuan Jiangwen said with emotion, "Compared with this idea, what happened just now is nothing."
Yuan Jiangxing was very happy after hearing this. He reached out and patted Fu Zhiyu's shoulder vigorously, laughing and said, "It should have been done a long time ago! This is the best news I have heard since I came back."
It is really not easy to run away with my mother and Mingdao. Leaving the palace is not difficult, but the difficult part is how to deal with the aftermath perfectly after leaving the palace. Otherwise, Fu Zhiyu would not have waited until now, not to mention having to protect the entire Yuan family.
It is basically impossible to force it, and pretending to be kidnapped is also difficult. The emperor will definitely hunt you down to the end. What he wants is to escape, not flee.
It is even more impossible to ask Imperial Physician Chen to fake the death. The death of the Imperial Noble Consort is a big event, all the Imperial Hospital will be there, and death is not as easy to disguise as illness. Even if she managed to pass the inspection of the Imperial Hospital, the corpse of the imperial concubine would be strictly guarded, and after the coffin was sealed, it would be directly carried to the imperial mausoleum for burial, and there would be no chance for anyone to snatch it. Even if Fu Zhiyu is strong now, breaking into the imperial mausoleum would cause a lot of noise, so it is impossible.
He is currently alone and has no power, so it is an established fact that he cannot defeat the imperial power. His mother is not an unknown person in the palace and no one would care if she disappears, so it would be even more difficult for him to escape.
After thinking about it over and over again, I can only act according to circumstances.
According to Fu Zhiyu's idea, he wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the palace to escape. Anyway, no one would have time to pay attention to the Liuli Palace at that time, and it would be much easier to create an illusion.
According to the training method of Emperor Qing Yuan, his succession of imperial power was destined to be extremely turbulent. In his previous life, about seven or eight years later, the crown prince was desperate and forced to abdicate, and the whole palace was in chaos. However, he did not enjoy his glory at that time, and was deposed by Fu Zhiyu and his troops.
Fu Lingxiao was killed by Yuan Mingdao himself. The crescent-shaped scimitar pierced his chest, avenging the Yuan family's blood feud.
But this time, we shouldn't have to wait another seven or eight years. Fu Zhiyu couldn't wait that long. In his previous life, Fu Zhiyu was suppressed and beaten by the prince for a long time. The prince basically didn't feel threatened, so he was willing to wait. It was not until later that he felt a sense of crisis.
But this time, Fu Rongye came with more force and was much more mature than Fu Zhiyu who was still ignorant at that time. The confrontation between the two people was also taking shape. It was natural that all these things would explode in advance.
No matter how well Emperor Qingyuan took care of himself, he would be exhausted in the next few years if he was so busy every day. Besides, the crown prince couldn't help but use his penis on him. He had so many children and concubines, but few of them were sincere to him. It was as if they were all hoping that he would die soon.
Fu Zhiyu's decision not to attack the emperor was his last act of kindness. After all, she was now under his protection. But thinking of the sufferings his mother had endured before, it was impossible for him to help her. He could only wait and see what was happening in the next few years. He should be prepared now and then find the right opportunity to strike at once.
But before all this happened, Fu Zhiyu also wanted to find a chance to let her mother breathe. Although it was indeed risky, if she didn't take a risk for something she cared about, what was the point of her rebirth
