It seemed like he still couldn't hide from Zhao Luyan. Fu Ruihai sighed in his heart. He looked at Zhao Luyan and nodded slightly."We'll follow Lord Zhao's arrangements."
Zhao Shengming thought for a while. The most important thing now was Lu Yueqin. He had to find a way to get Zhao Luyan to enter the palace. Since Zhao Luyan had suggested it, he couldn't object. Fu Ruihai's matter was already set in stone and could not be changed. It did not matter if he went a day earlier or later. He nodded and said,"Then you can go together. I hope there will be good news tomorrow."”
"Yes, Father."
Walking in the garden, Zhao Luyan looked at Fu Ruihai beside her. He looked like he had a lot on his mind. He lowered his head and frowned. He did not look at her and only cared about walking forward. In a short while, he left Zhao Luyan behind. Zhao Luyan ran a few steps and caught up with him. She stood in front of him and asked,"What are you thinking about? You walked so fast that I almost couldn't catch up with you.”
"I'm going back to my room. I need a good rest. Do I have to tell you that?”Fu Ruihai retorted unhappily," Why are you chasing me? Is there something wrong?”
"Of course, I just wanted to ask about what happened just now.”Zhao Luyan walked in front of Fu Ruihai. As she walked, she asked," Entering the Imperial Palace and becoming an Imperial Guard is something that many people dream of. However, from your expression just now, you don't seem willing. Can you tell me why?"”
"There's no reason. I just don't like it.”Fu Ruihai answered very directly," You know that I am indifferent to fame and fortune. I especially hate the flattery of officialdom, so I am very unwilling to enter officialdom. Moreover, if I go there, I won't have any freedom. I have to deal with your father and the emperor. It's too tiring. I'm afraid I can't take it. It's so good now. I can do whatever I want. No one can control me.”
"Do you think you're very free now? If it weren't for me, you might have died a long time ago. What freedom is there to talk about?”
"Why are you saying this again? Didn't I already thank you just now? What else do you want?”Fu Ruihai said impatiently," At the end of the day, I'm just a chess piece of your father. He only asked me to enter the palace because he wanted me to help him gather information. On the surface, I'm an imperial guard, but in reality, I'm not his man. I will do whatever he wants me to do.”
"You have your own legs. How can he control you?”Zhao Luyan said unwillingly," Actually, it's a good thing that you've entered the palace. The two of us have completely gotten rid of Zhao Shengming. Why are we afraid that we can't achieve great things?”
"Getting rid of Zhao Shengming is easier said than done. Besides, that's the Imperial Palace. The two of us, one is a palace maid, the other is an imperial guard. How can we meet often?”Seeing that Zhao Luyan was about to retort, Fu Ruihai did not let her speak. He continued," If you really succeed one day and get the Empress, it will be even more impossible for us to be together. Even if I am beside the emperor, can you casually talk to me?”
"I don't think there's no way. It's just that you don't want to continue working with me at all.”Zhao Luyan was very angry and interrupted him angrily.
"Don't be angry. I'm just stating the facts.”Fu Ruihai smiled and comforted her." But what I said is not without reason. Think about it carefully. Isn't that right?”
Zhao Luyan snorted and said," I admit that what you said makes sense. However, I am Zhao Luyan. No one can stop me from doing what I want to do." Even if I enter the deep palace and become the Empress, as long as I want to see you, no one can stop me unless you don't want to see me.”
"I wouldn't dare. As long as you have a way to meet me, as long as it's not dangerous, I'll go.”Fu Ruihai hurriedly replied. Zhao Luyan's extreme attitude made him helpless. In order not to quarrel with her, he could only agree to her words. Fu Ruihai was once again at a loss. Facing Zhao Luyan like this, what was the point of staying and giving up? However, she was his after all…How could he abandon her at all costs? Although he was unwilling, he couldn't leave Zhao Luyan. Without him, what would Zhao Luyan do? She tried her best to convince herself to stay, but she didn't want to face Zhao Luyan. She could only say," Are you done? If you are, I'll go back. Tomorrow's matter…can't be delayed."”
"Of course I know. This is my business. I won't forget.”Zhao Luyan nodded. After thinking about it, she seemed to have nothing else to say, so she said," You should go back and have a good rest. I'll wait for you at the door tomorrow morning."”
Fu Ruihai went back just like that. Zhao Luyan still stood at the same spot, looking at him, waiting for him to turn around and say a few words to her. After waiting for a long time, she saw Fu Ruihai enter the room. She then looked away in disappointment, turned around, and walked back to her room. Did Fu Ruihai really not know what he was thinking? No, Fu Ruihai knew about it. Zhao Luyan was almost certain of it. Then why was he unwilling to accept it? Was it really because of Shen Xiyin? Or did Fu Ruihai not love her at all? If he really did not love her, why did he do so much? Why did he not leave? Why did he mercilessly shatter her hope every time he gave her hope?
Thinking of this, Zhao Luyan suddenly felt a lump in her throat. Finally, he decided not to think about it anymore. Anyway, he was about to enter the palace soon. He was not fated to be with Fu Ruihai. Even if he thought about it, it would be in vain. It would only add to his troubles. He thought about what would happen tomorrow. Although Lu Yueqin was timid, she was still Consort Chen. He could not go too far with her. He had to think carefully and make tomorrow's matter more perfect. Zhao Luyan thought as she slowly walked back.
Just like Zhao Luyan, Fu Ruihai was also uneasy when he returned to his room. However, he was not thinking about what would happen tomorrow. Instead, he was thinking about entering the palace. Other than liking freedom and wanting to see Priest Regret often, he was also thinking about the luminous pearl. Although he was unwilling to interfere in this matter, the death of his parents and the safety of Shen Xiyin and his foster father forced him to participate. Once he entered the palace, it would be inconvenient for him to come out. Although he knew that Regret Daoist did not want him to participate in this matter for his own good, he could not stop now. Fu Ruihai only hoped that Priest Regret would return soon and ask him what he should do. Fu Ruihai could tell that Zhao Luyan wanted him to enter the palace. Not only did she want him to help her, but she also wanted to monitor him. What kind of person did Zhao Luyan think she was? Was she too selfish? Fu Ruihai also felt helpless, but what could he do? He had already quarreled with Zhao Luyan many times, so what was the use? Not only did it not change Zhao Luyan's attitude, but it also made her even more difficult to accept. Was he wrong? If he had taken her away earlier, would this not have happened? What was the use of thinking about this now? It was already like this. Zhao Luyan had already made up her mind and could not change it. The only thing he could do was to watch her walk step by step until she failed. Zhao Luyan would definitely fail. Fu Ruihai had a feeling that perhaps not now, but that day would come. Fu Ruihai only hoped that when that day came, he could take Zhao Luyan away and ensure her safety.
As she was thinking about the next day, Zhao Luyan did not sleep for the entire night. She woke up at dawn and washed up. She did not have time to eat and hurried to Fu Ruihai's room. Fu Ruihai knew that Zhao Luyan would arrive early this morning, but he did not expect her to be a little late. When she was putting on her clothes, she heard a knock on the door. Without guessing, she knew that it was Zhao Luyan. Fu Ruihai was not in a hurry. He slowly put on his clothes, washed his face, and went to open the door. "Why are you so early? It's just dawn. Even if you go now, they won't be ready.”Fu Ruihai complained. Suddenly, he noticed that Zhao Luyan's eyes were red and swollen. He couldn't help but ask with concern," What's wrong with you? Did you not sleep the whole night or did you cry the whole night?" You look so pale."
"I didn't sleep all night." Zhao Luyan rubbed her eyes and replied. She walked in, sat on a chair, looked at him, and said," I've been thinking about what happened yesterday. Do you think Lu Yueqin really agreed to our request, or is she playing tricks on us?”
"Lu Yueqin isn't like you. She doesn't have such evil thoughts.”Fu Ruihai said casually. It was both comforting and sarcastic. He looked at Zhao Luyan, and her expression changed as expected. He smiled and said," Don't be so angry. I was just joking with you. I didn't mean anything else." But think about it carefully, am I not telling the truth? When she was in Jiangluo City, as long as she was a little more stubborn, she would not have been toyed with by you.”
"When she was in Jiangluo City, she was just Concubine Lu and didn't have much power. However, she was Consort Chen now, so her status was different. Look at her attitude when she speaks. She's so arrogant. Just looking at her makes you angry.”Zhao Luyan said angrily.
"With a different identity, your attitude will naturally be different. This is human nature. If Zhao Luyan was also the daughter of an ordinary family, or a girl like Ximei, would you still dare to speak like this?”Fu Ruihai smiled and asked," But a leopard can't change its spots. No matter how powerful Lu Yueqin is, she still lowered her head after you said those words. She's actually still a coward. Why are you afraid? Besides, I went there yesterday and told her about it as per your instructions. Why? You don't trust her, but you don't trust me?”
"To be honest, I don't really trust you right now." Zhao Luyan sneered.”
When Fu Ruihai heard this, he was also very angry. He turned his head to the side and said coldly,"In that case, you can go by yourself. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you.”With that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Zhao Luyan saw that he seemed to be really angry, so she stood up and pulled him."Don't, don't, don't. I was joking just now. Don't take it seriously. If you don't go, I'm really a little scared. What if I quarrel with them?”Seeing that Fu Ruihai's face was still dark, she hurriedly said," Alright, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said those words. You're an adult who doesn't hold grudges against me. Don't hold it against me." Hurry up and get ready. We'll leave early and return early.”
"What are you panicking for? They haven't woken up yet.”Fu Ruihai sat down again and said slowly," I haven't eaten yet. I'll go after dinner."”
"I haven't eaten yet either. I'll eat with you.”Although Zhao Luyan was anxious, she did not want to anger Fu Ruihai, so she could only smile apologetically. Thinking about it, it made sense. Lu Yueqin and Lu Wangyuan might not have woken up yet. If they went, they would be waiting. It was better to stay at home and wait for a while before leaving.
An hour later, the two of them finished eating. Zhao Luyan stood up and said,"We can go now, right? I've already gotten someone to prepare the carriage. We can leave at any time. At this time, they should have eaten breakfast like us.”Seeing that Fu Ruihai was still sitting there without moving, Zhao Luyan added," Such a big incident happened yesterday. I don't believe that they can sleep peacefully before it's resolved.”
Fu Ruihai looked at her angrily and said," Remember what you promised me yesterday." Then he stood up and left. Zhao Luyan looked at his back and couldn't remember what she had promised him yesterday. She probably didn't want to make things difficult for Lu Yueqin and Lu Wangyuan. She didn't want to make things difficult for them either, but this wasn't something she could decide. The key was to see Lu Yueqin and Lu Wangyuan's performance. If they didn't cooperate, there was nothing he could do. Zhao Luyan thought so and walked out as well.
