At this point, Wen Qingzhu asked again: "What did you want to ask just now?"
Fu Lie hesitated for a moment and seemed to be organizing his words: "Cancheng has been in some danger recently. Do you want to come live with me?"
"Over here..." Wen Qingzhu's breathing stopped slightly.
After being silent for a long time, she explained calmly: "It's not necessary for the time being. I'm still used to living at the Yamen, and everyone is there."
"Yeah." Although Fu Lie tried his best to hide it, he still showed a faint sense of disappointment.
Seeing him like this, Wen Qingzhu knew that he was trying hard to get along with him.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly thought of her previous life, where she had very little conversation with Fu Lie.
Maybe they should have a nice chat.
"But things in Kangcheng are slowly getting back on track. The document sent from Si Tiantai said that there may be a cold spring at the end of the month. When Yuanhan takes over, I will go to the medical center to help Miaomiao, come pick me up when the time comes."
Fu Lie was startled, but then he said excitedly: "Okay!"
Wen Qingzhu laughed, looking at his long-paralyzed face, he suddenly felt a little vivid.
She thought about her past life, when one year she wanted to hunt a deer in the royal enclosure and skin it to make boots.
At that time, something happened in the paddock, and no one dared to go there.
She thought of begging Fu Lie and bought him a pair of shoe soles for the first time.
When it was sent to him, Fu Lie's face was also so vivid.
"Fu Lie, do you want to know how Fu Lie and I got along in the previous life?" Wen Qingzhu asked out of nowhere.
Fu Lie was slightly startled, then nodded.
Wen Qingzhu reacted and felt bad again.
But having already opened her mouth, she still said: "The night I got married, I didn't have sex with him. He used the sunflower water as an excuse. He very thoughtfully prepared the soup for me and planned to stay by my side.
But I was afraid that he would find out that I was pretending, so I drove him to the study, but he didn't say anything. He only told me to ask the maid to come find him if I needed anything. "
Fu Lie looked into Wen Qingzhu's eyes. He had never seen her be so gentle.
Especially when Wen Qingzhu talked about him, she clearly separated herself from the Fu Lie in her memory.
Wen Qingzhu didn't notice the change in his expression. He held chopsticks in his hand and supported his chin as he continued to recall: "Later on, he believed whatever I said. The only time I was closest to him was that day when I wanted to He got him drunk, kept giving him alcohol, locked Eunuch Fang out of the house, and didn't care about the news in the palace. He didn't get drunk until midnight.
That night, I lay next to him, and for the first time I felt his arms were so warm. It was only later that I found out that he was not drunk that night, he just wanted to make me happy. He didn’t like drinking, but he drank several times for me, which delayed the emperor’s affairs twice... "
Unknowingly, Wen Qingzhu came to the end: "The first time I was locked up, he was still in the northwest, but he somehow ran back and rescued me. Later, I felt more and more concerned about him, In front of Jiang Yuancheng, he kept covering for him, but in the end, the fire could not be suppressed.
Jiang Yuancheng found out but said nothing. It wasn't until Jiang Yuancheng got rid of everyone and finally prepared to take action against him that I sent him a message. Over there at Wangyue Tower, he still came over! Then he died in front of me... It was only then that I discovered that the person I loved... "
Wen Qingzhu's voice was choked up and tears rolled down his face.
She couldn't tell what happened next.
Suddenly, a handkerchief was handed over to her, gently wiping away her tears.
Wen Qingzhu's vision slowly became clearer, and when he saw the person in front of him, his tears became more and more intense.
She grabbed his hand and shouted hoarsely: "Fu Lie! Fu Lie."
"I'm here." Fu Lie replied.
But the voice brought Wen Qingzhu back to reality. She helplessly let go of Fu Lie's hand, turned her eyes away, and wiped away her tears with her own hands.
After resting for a while, Wen Qingzhu turned his head again and said to Fu Lie seriously: "Do you understand what I mean? I'm afraid of being indebted. I've been trying to think of you as one person, but the later I go, the more I find that, You are different."
"Without him, I would still be by your side." Fu Lie looked into her eyes and said while holding back his heartache.
Seeing his expression, Wen Qingzhu felt in a daze that the Fu Lie in front of him was becoming more and more similar to the person in his previous life.
She quickly lowered her head, held her chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly, you are also very busy here. After you finish eating, go and get busy. I will come see you when you are free."
Fu Lie wanted to say that he was free anytime.
But when the words came to his lips, he simply responded.
When he came out, Wen Qingzhu found several people standing at the door.
In addition to Yang Liu and Yang Jiu, Lei Yan and Lu Lei were also there.
"What time is it now?" Wen Qingzhu subconsciously raised his head and glanced at the sky.
There is no sun today, so I can't tell the exact time.
Xi'er reminded in a low voice: "It's past noon."
Wen Qingzhu was slightly startled. She had been sitting there for more than two hours
"Sorry to bother you, I'm leaving first." Wen Qingzhu was a little dazed and turned to leave with Xi'er.
Lei Yan wanted to call her to stop and say something, but Lu Lei quickly stopped him and shook his head vigorously.
Fu Lie walked out and said, "Come in."
Back in the Yamen, Liang Zhao was sitting in the lobby, and Liang Pingshu was also there.
Wen Qingzhu walked in and greeted them.
Liang Zhao seemed to be seriously ill and looked very poor. He waved her to sit down and said, "I'm here this time. I have something to tell you."
He glanced at Liang Pingshu and motioned for her to go out and guard her.
As soon as Liang Pingshu left, Wen Qingzhu wanted Xi'er to go out too, but Liang Zhao stopped her: "No, this matter is not a secret. Everyone will know it in the future."
"What does Mr. Liang want to say?" Wen Qingzhu felt that the situation seemed a bit serious.
He coughed twice and waited for a long time before saying slowly: "Mr. Cui has been buried. Ji Shang has come back to see him off in person. He will stay in the capital temporarily."
Wen Qingzhu stood up suddenly: "Teacher wants to stay in the capital! Then wouldn't the emperor—"
"Well, the emperor also knows, but Ji Shang doesn't want to see the emperor. In terms of his temper, this is nothing. The purpose of his stay is Yao Ban. Mr. Cui should not die. His departure is For the loss of Da Qi, the emperor’s selfishness is still greater than his publicity after all.”
When he said these words, Liang Zhao's words were full of disappointment.
"Mr. Cui and I didn't expect that the person who saved Yao Ban would be the emperor. That time in Qianyuan Palace, Mr. Cui and I had prepared to die, but we still didn't expect that the emperor would poison us. .”
Wen Qingzhu thought of the situation of the Cui family and asked again: "Who will take over the Cui family now? Cui Li?"
"No, it's Xiushan. He is a branch of the Lei family. His parents died early, and it was Lei Xiao who arranged his life. According to Mr. Cui's will, Xiushan has now entered the Cui family's genealogy. He is now called Cui Xiushan."
Wen Qingzhu was stunned for a long time, and finally came to his senses: "He actually entered the Cui family's genealogy. In this way, the Cui family can be considered safe."
Lei Xiushan has inherited Mr. Cui's career. According to normal circumstances, he may marry a girl from the Cui family in the future.
Now he has entered the Cui family's genealogy. It seems that he asked for it.
"Well, the Emperor didn't know about this until two days later. The Emperor intended to point out Yi Jia to him."
"But isn't Jiang Yijia and Fu Yu already—"
Wen Qingzhu found that the complexity here seemed to be beyond her imagination.
Liang Zhao sighed: "That's why I came to you. Both Prince Ning and Concubine Li hope that Princess Yijia will marry Xiushan, but the person Princess Yijia likes is Fu Yu. They probably feel that compared with Fu Yu, He has better control, and Xiushan and Cui Li asked me to come here this time."
"They asked you to come to me?" Wen Qingzhu pointed at himself.
Liang Zhao turned around and took out a letter. Xi'er went over and took it to Wen Qingzhu.
When I opened it, I found Lei Xiushan's handwriting inside.
It said that I hope I can pretend to get Xue Miaomiao and Lei Xiushan engaged.
"No!" Wen Qingzhu refused without even thinking about it. How could Miao Miao be involved!
Liang Zhao said helplessly: "The only person who can make King Ning fear now is the Marquis of Pingguo. If Miss Xue is engaged to Xiushan, then King Ning will never dare to say anything. After all, she is Madam's only cousin."
"Is there no other way? Jiang Yijia will not agree to this!" Wen Qingzhu felt that Jiang Yijia had worked hard for so long, why would she suddenly let them change her mind
"Madam, there may be something you don't know. If Princess Yijia marries Cui Xiushan, she will be the daughter-in-law of the Cui family. Concubine Wei said that if Yijia marries the Cui family, the emperor will consider retaining the title of the Li family."
"How is this possible! Can Li Wei's life be enough to withstand the lives of everyone in the Yang family?!" Wen Qingzhu was furious.
But after she calmed down a little, she felt that this was Jiang Yue's style.
He likes checks and balances, only in this way can he maximize his imperial power.
"This proposal was discussed by Concubine Wei and Mrs. Wei together. We really don't want to bring Miss Xue in. After all, she is just a child of the world and has a relatively simple temper. But there is nothing we can do now. Ji Shang also knows about this matter and he also agrees. Yes, we should be at Miss Xue’s side now.”
As soon as Liang Zhao finished speaking, Xue Miaomiao's voice came from outside.
"Uncle Ji, what's going on with you? Can't you tell me directly at the hospital?"
Then the door of the room was opened, and Ji Shang walked in with Xue Miaomiao.
"Old...Mr. Ji." Wen Qingzhu was a little afraid to look at Ji Shang. Since the teacher thought it was feasible, he must have taken into account everyone's thoughts.
As expected, Ji Shang pointed at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just want you to help me pretend to be married to someone. Maybe I need to pretend to get married. Your cousin is worried about you and may not agree."
Xue Miaomiao was startled, and then asked: "Why do you want to fake the marriage?"
"Because we want to avoid the emperor's engagement." Ji Shang's tone also became serious, "It's the Lei Xiushan you met before. You may not remember it."
"I remember, I remember!" Xue Miaomiao nodded immediately, "He is a very good person and can do all kinds of weird things."
She lived in the Hou Mansion for a while, and her cousin introduced her to many people.
Ji Shang went on to explain the stakes. Lei Xiushan changed his surname to Cui and became a member of the big family. Prince Ning and the emperor took notice, and wanted to force him to marry the princess.
Xue Miaomiao's heart of justice immediately surged: "How can this be! Of course I will! Lei Xiushan doesn't like that princess! Your emperor is still weird! He forced them like this!"
"Miaomiao, you really don't mind?" Wen Qingzhu was very worried about her. After all, in a place as complex as the capital, people's hearts are absolutely untrustworthy.
"I don't mind! I can do it! It's a lie anyway!" Xue Miaomiao has lived in Yaoshen Valley since she was a child. She has no worldly constraints and doesn't care about those false names at all.
So she turned around and advised Wen Qingzhu: "Don't worry, cousin! I'm very good at martial arts! You are all around me too, and I know many people in the capital! I won't put myself in danger!"
