Seven days later, the matter with the Royal Palace Guards finally came to an end.
Hei Jiren was demoted to guard the imperial mausoleum, and Fu Lie single-handedly stabilized the situation in the palace.
Lu Chengfei and Fu Lie jointly took charge of the Forbidden Army.
Wei Yu performed well in this incident and was promoted to deputy commander.
But this incident was not the focus of everyone's attention, but the sudden appearance of a prince in the palace.
The emperor not only entered him into the genealogy, but also made him the eighth prince, named Jiang Yuanhan.
In view of his young age, Jiang Yue temporarily gave him back to Concubine Wei to raise.
Concubine Li and Concubine Wan smiled and congratulated openly, but secretly began to investigate the matter.
Countless proofs show that there is no problem with Jiang Yuanhan's identity.
Wen Qingzhu was sitting under the corridor, wearing an early winter cotton coat, looking at the red maple leaf forest in the yard, but his thoughts were far away.
Not long after, Shaoyao came back from the palace.
She looked a little worried: "Miss, just as you guessed, the Emperor transferred Jasmine to serve the Eighth Prince."
"That's all he can do." Wen Qingzhu picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip.
The warm tea passed through his throat and fell into his stomach, making his whole body feel warm.
Shaoyao saw Wen Qingzhu and didn't ask any more questions, but there were many things she still couldn't figure out.
After much hesitation, she finally asked: "Miss, didn't the emperor start to be jealous of you before? Why did he keep Jasmine instead of sending her back early, but transferred Jasmine to the eighth prince?"
Wen Qingzhu held the tea cup, and the liquid crystal of the tea was not so hot anymore.
She turned around and ordered the little maid to boil another pot of hot water.
When there was no one else around, Wen Qingzhu withdrew his gaze and looked at her quietly: "This is why I sent a letter to Xin Zhong. The emperor may have guessed that Xin Zhong is in Youzhou. It is very possible that he knows more things than We have more imagination. But he probably only got the news recently when he made this move."
After a pause, Wen Qingzhu's lips curled up: "This person hiding behind is really quite capable."
In December, it snowed in the capital.
But compared to previous years, the snow this year was much lighter, and it wasn’t that cold either.
There was another emergency in Youzhou, and this time King Ning took the initiative to ask for help to quell the trouble in Youzhou.
Jiang Yue approved and even sent Fu Lie's troops to him.
The wind direction in the capital has changed again.
As the new year approached, Wen Shuquan finally found a position.
When Uncle Zhong sent this news, Wen Qingzhu was not surprised at all.
Wen Shuquan's ability is there. As long as he has fame and fame, he doesn't have to worry about being appreciated.
Lu Tao was warming the wine beside him. Wen Qingzhu looked at the small red clay stove and the sky, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Brother Fu's rest time is getting later and later lately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Lie faced Xiaoxue and appeared at the door of Luoying Pavilion.
The smile on Wen Qingzhu's face finally became more genuine, and he stepped forward to meet him.
Shaoyao quickly opened her umbrella and followed Wen Qingzhu's footsteps.
Wen Qingzhu rushed into Fu Lie's arms: "Brother Fu, you are late again."
"Sorry, there are too many things going on recently. I will try to come earlier in the future." Fu Lie lowered his eyes and looked at the top of Wen Qingzhu's head, and raised his hand to gently brush away the snowflakes on her head.
After sitting down in the corridor, Wen Qingzhu poured a glass of warm wine for Fu Lie and asked at the same time: "Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, you shouldn't be so busy. In addition to Wei Yu, hasn't the emperor promoted several deputy commanders?"
Fu Lie drank the wine handed over by Wen Qingzhu in one gulp.
After putting down the cup, he said in a deep voice: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with me in the palace. It's all about Youzhou. Your Majesty asked me to help Prince Ning and solve the troubles in Youzhou as soon as possible."
Wen Qingzhu, who was about to continue pouring wine, suddenly stopped listening.
She raised her eyes and looked at Fu Lie, frowning slightly: "Is he planning to evade you or take advantage of you?"
Fu Lie remained silent and didn't speak.
He has received many letters recently, all saying that King Ning acted recklessly in the army and placed his cronies everywhere.
Several battles were lost due to lack of tacit cooperation.
Fu Lie picked up the wine bottle and poured himself another full glass.
After drinking it again, he felt better.
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Wen Qingzhu: "If you want me to die, I have to die."
Wen Qingzhu laughed sarcastically: "Then if the emperor wants to kill me one day, what will Brother Fu do?"
"The king over there wants me dead, so I have no choice but to rebel." Fu Lie looked at Wen Qingzhu quietly, his voice extremely calm.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu felt sorry for him: "Did you find out the real reason for the accident in the Yang family?"
Fu Lie closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to think about it.
But he still forced himself to calm down: "Well, it's basically confirmed that my father took the blame for someone else."
"Then I guess Jiang Yue must know the real reason for this matter." The ridicule on Wen Qingzhu's face was clearly evident.
Before leaving, Fu Lie suddenly said: "Su Huo is back, and he brought someone back with him."
"Who?" Wen Qingzhu was slightly surprised. She found no information at all.
Could it be that Suho faked his disappearance before
Fu Lie seemed to see what she was thinking, and added: "He didn't pretend to disappear. The person he brought back is named Zhang Ke."
"What!" Wen Qingzhu stood up suddenly. The people she sent to Jiangnan found no news about Zhang Ke at all.
Why did he meet Suho when he proposed marriage
But Fu Lie's next words made her even more alarmed: "Didn't His Majesty send Prince Ning to investigate Su Huo's affairs before? In fact, he secretly sent Jiang Yuancheng there. Jiang Yuancheng successfully helped Su Huo and Zhang Ke get out of trouble, and Zhang Ke The relationship with Jiang Yuancheng seems to be pretty good, and Jiang Yuancheng is also trying his best to recruit Zhang Ke."
"Why is the relationship between Jiang Yuancheng and Zhang Ke suddenly so good? Could it be..."
Is Jiang Yuancheng still the final winner this time
Wen Qingzhu was about to ask questions, but when he saw Fu Lie's eyes, he suddenly understood: "You, you know that I am investigating Zhang Ke?"
Fu Lie nodded: "Nan Xiao told me. She is from Jiangnan. If you want to investigate Jiangnan's affairs, you can't get around Nan Xiao, and Nan Xiao will not hide it from me."
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu felt a little unhappy.
Although she knew that the relationship between Nan Xiao and Fu Lie was innocent, she was just unhappy.
Especially Lu Tao accidentally discovered something strange from Yang Dong.
Wen Qingzhu immediately sent someone to find Fan Yu quietly and inquired about what was going on in Youzhou.
After going around and around, Fan Yu naturally talked about the girl in plain clothes with great interest.
Fu Lie turned around and walked over. Seeing that her eyes seemed to have changed a bit, he quickly said, "Nan Xiao and I have nothing to do with each other."
"What about the plain girl over there in Youzhou?" Wen Qingzhu said almost subconsciously.
Fu Lie was suddenly stunned: "How do you know her?"
Seeing that Fu Lie didn't seem to be planning to tell him yet, Wenqing Group He became increasingly unhappy.
After staring at Fu Lie for a while, he simply turned around and went in, then closed the door.
Fu Lie felt something was wrong and hurriedly went up to explain: "Qingqing, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but it's the matter of Miss Sulu. She doesn't want more people to know. He and I are just friends. Don't think nonsense."
Of course Wen Qingzhu was not thinking blindly. He just thought of a woman who, in order to repay Fu Lie's kindness, was willing to go deep into the enemy camp and risk her own life to obtain information.
In the end, no credit is required.
She knew very well that Fu Lie was a person who valued love and justice.
The woman named Su Lu treated Fu Lie like this, and she gained a certain status in Fu Lie's heart.
Otherwise, Fu Lie would not have told him.
When he thought of this, Wen Qingzhu began to get scared.
Because she knew that Fu Lie would have a confidante, but she didn't hear that this confidante was in Youzhou.
In her memory, that confidante was really stable.
Wen Qingzhu slowly slid to the ground against the door panel and buried his face deeply in his knees.
She was really not sure whether Fu Lie would fall in love with someone else.
For the first time, Wen Qingzhu felt jealous.
Jealous that Fu Lie would take other women to heart.
There was a tacit understanding between them that she could never get in between.
Wen Qingzhu's shoulders suddenly trembled, and tears flowed out unsatisfactorily.
Many things have changed in this life.
Could it be that Fu Lie will like someone else in the end
When Wen Qingzhu thought of this, his heart suddenly felt a dull pain, and he instantly felt that he couldn't breathe.
She tilted her head and fell to the ground, covering her heart, as if she was immersed in the freezing cold mountains.
No! no!
Wen Qingzhu found that she seemed to have fallen in love with Fu Lie, and her reason was clearly telling her that Fu Lie still liked her.
But emotionally, Wen Qingzhu couldn't control himself.
Wen Qingzhu stood up suddenly, opened the door suddenly, and asked Fu Lie opposite him almost in unison.
"Brother Lie, can we get married?"
"Qingqing, how about I take you to meet her once?"
As soon as the words fell, both of them were stunned.
Wen Qingzhu didn't expect that Fu Lie would take him to see the girl wearing plain clothes.
Fu Lie looked at Wen Qingzhu's tear-stained face and was stunned.
His heart was beating so hard that he couldn't even hear clearly what Wen Qingzhu said.
Both parties opened their mouths and said at the same time: "You go ahead and speak."
Wen Qingzhu turned around, wiped his tears, and whispered: "Brother Fu, please speak first."
Only then did Fu Lie come to his senses and asked her hurriedly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? What happened? Miss Sulu is really nice. As long as you see her, you will also like her."
Listening to his panicked and unclear explanation, Wen Qingzhu finally couldn't help but turn around.
He looked at Fu Lie seriously and asked, "Did you not hear clearly what I said just now?"
Fu Lie hesitated for a moment and chose to admit: "Yeah."
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I'm just paranoid."
Seeing Wen Qingzhu suddenly regaining his composure, Fu Lie was stunned for a long time.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu go in, it seemed as if nothing had happened. Although he breathed a sigh of relief, he still felt that he had missed something.
After going back in the evening, Fu Lie just walked into the bathtub and soaked for less than a quarter of an hour.
When Yang Dong came in, he accidentally caught a string of bead curtains.
When the thread of the bead curtain was broken, Fu Lie's mind suddenly lit up and he remembered Wen Qingzhu's first words after opening the door.
What she said was—
Brother lie, can we get married
Fu Lie suddenly stood up from the tub, splashing water all over Yang Dong.
Dongzi was holding a bucket of hot water and was stunned.
Looking at his master's strong back, he couldn't help but touch the bath water on his face, and asked in surprise: "Master, did you and Miss Wen quarrel today? Why did I hear Lu Tao say that Miss Wen seemed to be crying? Already?"
Fu Lie's originally ecstatic heart calmed down again.
When Wen Qingzhu went inside the house, he seemed to squat down and cry!
Why is she crying
Fu Lie's heart became heavy again and he slowly sat back in the bathtub.
Seeing his master's mood swings, Dongzi thought something really happened between them and hurried over.
"Master, did you really quarrel with Miss Wen?"
Fu Lie frowned and shook his head.
"Did you make her angry?"
Fu Lie still shook his head.
Yang Dong:
