"I don't want to conclude whether I did anything wrong back then. Frankly speaking, as long as they don't appear here, as long as they don't make things difficult for He Zhong and He Yunxiu, I don't want to make things difficult for them. However, as you can see, I can't let them off.”
"Do you think that without Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye, He Zhong would not care about this matter?”Fu Ruihai asked," Ouyang Yuan, you were also involved in the Luminous Pearl incident. I believe you should know a thing or two about the secrets inside. Otherwise, you wouldn't have killed anyone."”Fu Ruihai suddenly pointed this out. In fact, he was not sure if that person was Ouyang Yuan, but he said these words and looked at Ouyang Yuan seriously. From Ouyang Yuan's eyes, Fu Ruihai confirmed his answer.
"How did you know?" Ouyang Yuan was not surprised. The two of them had fought before. With Fu Ruihai's eyesight and martial arts, he should be able to tell his identity. Therefore, without waiting for Fu Ruihai to speak, he continued," I was the one who killed that person. This matter is indeed related to the Night-Luminescent Pearl. I was also sent by the Emperor. I saw you too. Zhao Shengming sent you, right? But you didn't kill them. Instead, you wanted them to escape. Fortunately, I arrived in time. Otherwise, there would be no way to save them.”
"Zhao Shengming guessed right, but unfortunately, he didn't guess your identity. Actually, if you think about it carefully, there's no one else but you.”Fu Ruihai said disdainfully and asked again," Can you tell me the identity of this person and what is his relationship with the Sixth Prince?”
"You also know about the Sixth Prince?" Ouyang Yuan was a little surprised." Who told you? Zhao Shengming, or that Taoist priest?"
"This has nothing to do with you. I won't tell you. What I want to tell you is that He Zhong and He Yunxiu didn't help Shen Xiyin out of loyalty or friendship. He Zhong had always known about the Sixth Prince. As far as I know, it was the late Emperor's instructions. So, finding the Sixth Prince wasn't just Shen Muwen's goal, it was also He Zhong's goal. Otherwise, you should know why He Yunxiu went to Jiangluo City, why she left, and why she disappeared for a few days.”
"I don't care what the reason is. I won't allow anyone to hurt He Yunxiu.”Ouyang Yuan drew his sword and aimed it at Fu Ruihai.
Fu Ruihai didn't draw his sword. Instead, he took a few steps back to increase the distance between them. He looked behind him to make sure that he could leave at any time. Then, he looked at Ouyang Yuan and frowned."I've said so much, but why don't you understand? You can kill Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye, but if you kill them, will He Zhong give up on finding the Sixth Prince? Even if you don't do anything about this, Shen Xiyin and He Yunxiu are together. Can you kill her? Will He Yunxiu let you do it? If you really wanted to make a move, why didn't you do it just now?”
Ouyang Yuan was a little helpless when Fu Ruihai raised the question."Yes, because of He Yunxiu, I didn't do anything. I didn't want to hurt Shen Xiyin in front of her. But this doesn't mean that I want to let Shen Xiyin go. If I have the chance, I will still kill her. This is my mission. I didn't succeed in Jiangluo City. Since she has come to the capital, I will definitely find an opportunity. Shen Xiyin's martial arts are inferior to mine, so I will definitely be able to kill her.”
"If you want to kill Shen Xiyin, you'll have to go through me first.”Fu Ruihai pulled out his sword and pointed it at Ouyang Yuan.
Ouyang Yuan laughed coldly,"Fu Ruihai, you're still doing it for that Shen Xiyin. You're really devoted." But if Zhao Luyan saw you like this, what do you think she would think?”
"Why? You want to tell Zhao Luyan about this?”Fu Ruihai was not surprised by his words because he knew that he would not dare to." Zhao Luyan still doesn't know about this. She doesn't know that Shen Xiyin is still alive, and she doesn't know what He Zhong is doing now. If she found out, Shen Xiyin would not be the only one who would be in trouble. He Zhong and He Yunxiu would also be in trouble. Also, you went back on your word and didn't help her kill anyone. How do you think she will treat you?”
"That's none of your business. I have my ways.”With that, he leaped up and disappeared in an instant.
Fu Ruihai instinctively chased after her, but he still stopped. Was Ouyang Yuan telling the truth? Would he really look for Zhao Luyan? Although he felt that it was impossible, he could not be careless. Perhaps it was impossible at first, but now…it seemed that he would not stop until he killed Shen Xiyin. What should he do then? Where did Shen Xiyin and He Yunxiu go? What were they doing? Should he chase after them? Fu Ruihai could not make up his mind. He suddenly thought of Daoist Priest Regret. He had to find him. Where was he? He looked around and thought for a moment before turning back.
Fu Ruihai met Priest Regret on the way. At that time, Priest Regret was also looking for him. Because he was about to leave, he had some things to tell him."I need to go out for a few days. I'm worried about the person that Zhao Shengming asked you to kill.”
"You want to investigate too?" Fu Ruihai blurted out.
His words shocked Daoist Priest Regret."Is there someone else going? Who is it? Someone sent by Zhao Shengming?”That's not right. Zhao Shengming should know. Why would he send someone to investigate?
Fu Ruihai shook his head." No, it was Zhao Luyan. The person sent was Yi Yunfei."”
"Zhao Luyan sent someone to investigate?" Regret found it strange." Does Zhao Shengming know about this? He should have told her. Why didn't he? Could it be that Zhao Shengming asked her to do this?”
"No, this matter seems very important. Zhao Shengming didn't tell me or her. At first, Zhao Luyan asked me, but I didn't give her an answer, so I went to look for Yi Yunfei. Yi Yunfei seemed to have already agreed to it.”Fu Ruihai briefly told Daoist Regret about what had happened a few days ago." I don't know if Yi Yunfei will go. If he does, you might see him, so you have to be careful.”Fu Ruihai reminded.
"Although I've never met Yi Yunfei, from what you said, his martial arts are inferior to yours. I don't think there's anything to be afraid of.”" But I'll be careful. I'll try my best not to have a direct confrontation with him." Oh right, didn't I hear you say that Yi Yun had left the capital a long time ago? Why is he in contact with Zhao Luyan?”
"He seems to have just returned. Previously, Zhao Luyan had always wanted to see him, so he met her the moment he returned. As for where he went and what he did, he refused to say. But I always felt that this person was very shrewd, as if he was plotting something. I advised Zhao Luyan not to associate with this person, but Zhao Luyan refused to listen. I had no choice.”Fu Ruihai explained his guess. Suddenly, he thought of something and said," He even made Zhao Luyan agree to help him arrange for someone to enter the palace. I don't know what his motive is.”
"Zhao Luyan agreed to him? Who was he? Was he himself?”
" It doesn't seem like him. It's said that this person has a grudge against Zhao Shengming. Zhao Luyan initially did not agree, but Yi Yun insisted on telling her a way to enter the palace. In order to enter the palace, Zhao Luyan had no choice but to agree.”
"It seems that Zhao Luyan really doesn't want to give up.”Daoist Regret sighed." Yi Yun has no way to get her into the palace?”
"Lu Yueqin." Fu Ruihai said this name," Zhao Luyan wants Lu Yueqin to bring her into the harem and make her a maid. Then, she will slowly climb to the peak of power. Yi Yun had initially asked her to choose He Yunxiu, but Zhao Luyan knew that He Zhong and Zhao Shengming did not get along, so she chose Lu Yueqin. Lu Yueqin is now Consort Chen, so she must have been close to the Emperor more often. I think Zhao Luyan is planning this.”
"Zhao Luyan's plan is indeed perfect. But didn't she know that Lu Wangyuan and Zhao Shengming weren't particularly close? I don't think Lu Yueqin will agree to this.”Daoist Priest Regret smiled and shook his head.
"Lu Wangyuan and Zhao Shengming are not on good terms, but he is controlled by Zhao Shengming. Although Lu Yueqin was Consort Chen, she was timid. If Zhao Luyan threatened her with He Huafeng, Lu Yueqin might agree.”Fu Ruihai analyzed," Godfather, do you want me to think of a way to remind Lord Lu not to agree?”
"You mustn't." Regret Daoist shook his head and said," Lord Lu is under Zhao Shengming's control, and it's not easy to begin with. If you openly go against Zhao Shengming, I'm afraid it'll be even more dangerous. If you really want to remind him, tell him that he must agree to this matter and never go against Zhao Shengming.”
"Promise Zhao Luyan? "Isn't this…" Fu Ruihai was shocked. He didn't expect his godfather to make such a decision. He thought that his godfather had the same thoughts as him.
Daoist Priest Regret nodded and sighed, saying,""Do you still remember what Zhao Luyan said to you? She is such a person. It's not like you didn't see her in Jiangluo City. Now that she wanted to enter the palace, she had to enter. No one could stop her. If she couldn't get through Lu Yueqin, she would think of other ways. Zhao Luyan was a person who would take revenge. If she entered the palace through other methods, she would definitely find trouble with Lu Yueqin. Rejecting them now might harm them.”
"But Zhao Luyan will never be grateful just because Lu Yueqin helped her now. When her wings were fully grown, she would still not let them go.”
"That's for the future. At least for now, we can let them seek peace for a while.”After Daoist Priest Regret finished speaking, he looked at Fu Ruihai and smiled meaningfully." I don't think you want to protect Lu Yueqin. You want to protect Zhao Luyan. You know that Zhao Shengming's days are numbered. If he falls, Zhao Luyan will be finished. It was still fine outside, but after entering the palace, their lives were even more miserable. You don't want Zhao Luyan to enter the palace at all. You want to protect her, am I right?”
" Godfather, I…" Fu Ruihai did not know how to explain himself.
"You don't have to explain. I understand." Daoist Priest Regret waved his hand. But do you think you can save Zhao Luyan with her current state? At the last moment, will she leave with you? I advise you not to have too much hope. However, I know that you've already made up your mind. I can't persuade you, so I can only advise you to take care of yourself. Alright, I've said what I need to say. I should go too. If I'm fast, I might be back in two or three days. I've left Shen Xiyin at Grand Preceptor He's house. When you have time, go and see her. It's best if you don't have any contact with her.”
