"I know that. Before the time is ripe, I won't let anyone know that I'm Zhao Luyan. At most, I'll just do what Shen Xiyin did back then and say that I'm Lord Lu's niece and Lu Yueqin's sister.”As she said this, Zhao Luyan kept looking at Fu Ruihai. She wanted to see the change in his expression, but she did not notice anything. She couldn't help but find it strange." Why? Why were you so calm when I said 'Shen Xiyin'? Don't tell me you've lost your feelings for her so quickly?”
"I never had anything to do with Shen Xiyin. Everything is just your guess. If you insist on thinking that way, I can't do anything about it.”Fu Ruihai said helplessly," She's already Huangfu Ye's wife now. I can do whatever I want. Huangfu Lingtian died in my hands, so I'm their enemy for life. Perhaps they'll come looking for me for revenge soon. You'd better stay away from me, or I might accidentally hurt you.”After saying that, he took a few steps back and distanced himself from Zhao Luyan.
"Don't worry, I won't let them hurt you.”Zhao Luyan said proudly as she looked at Fu Ruihai. Then, she looked at Fu Ruihai meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Fu Ruihai naturally understood what Zhao Luyan meant. In her eyes, Shen Xiyin and Huangfu Ye were already dead, so how could she come to take revenge? He knew all this. However, Zhao Luyan did not know that Huangfu Ye and Shen Xiyin had already returned to the outside of the pass. Of course, he couldn't let her know. Otherwise, she wouldn't stop. Especially now, he couldn't let her find Huangfu Ye or Shen Xiyin, or tell Zhao Shengming about the matter. Therefore, Fu Ruihai deliberately asked.
After hearing his question, Zhao Luyan suddenly felt that she had said too much and seemed to have aroused Fu Ruihai's suspicion. She quickly said,"What I mean is that neither of them is your match. If they come, they will be courting death. If they were smart, they probably wouldn't have come.”
"That's true. I'm not afraid of them, so you don't have to worry. I won't die. At the very least, I won't die in their hands.”Fu Ruihai said with a smile. Looking at Zhao Luyan's expression, it seemed like she really cared about him. "But if they really come, I don't want to kill them. I want to let them live. I hope you can understand and not stop me.”
"You can do whatever you want. I won't care.”Since it was something that would never happen, Zhao Luyan would not take it to heart, so she said casually," But there's one thing I have to remind you. You might be kind to them, but they might not appreciate it. Especially Huangfu Ye. He doesn't have a good impression of you. Do you think he'll show mercy to you?”
"No matter what they do to me, I only hope that I have a clear conscience.”Fu Ruihai said loudly. He looked at Zhao Luyan and said," You said it yourself. They're not my match, so they definitely can't kill me. Therefore, if I show them mercy, they can't do anything. What I want to say is that I'm telling you this because I trust you, so I hope you can keep it a secret for me. Don't tell Zhao Shengming.”
"Don't worry, I won't tell Zhao Shengming.”Zhao Luyan promised," You've seen what it's like along the way. You've done so many things, and I've always covered for you. Otherwise, Father would have found out about you long ago. Just based on this point, you should understand my standpoint.”
Fu Ruihai knew what she wanted to do. He sighed, cupped his hands, and said unhappily,"Thank you, Miss Zhao, for protecting me."
She gently held his hand and said gently,"I don't need you to thank me. I just need you to understand my heart.”Seeing Fu Ruihai's cold expression, Zhao Luyan felt extremely depressed. She let go of his hand and said coldly," When I came back just now, I bumped into Father. He seemed to be looking for you. You should go and take a look."”
"Alright, I'll go then." Seeing that Zhao Luyan did not have any reaction, Fu Ruihai turned around and left. He stopped at the door and turned back to look at her." Aren't you going to take a look? You're so curious. This time won't be an exception, right?" Let's go together. I don't want to repeat myself.”
Zhao Luyan looked at him for a while, but didn't say anything. She stood up and left. Fu Ruihai looked at her and shook his head helplessly before following her.
Zhao Shengming wasn't too surprised or unhappy when he saw them coming together. He could tell Zhao Luyan about this. If she could enter the palace and know about this, it would be very beneficial to her. When he saw them enter, he was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he asked,"After Luyan left, how are Lu Wangyuan and Lu Yueqin? Did they prepare anything?”
"No, they seem very anxious. Consort Chen had gone to congratulate Lu Wangyuan on his birthday. After such a thing happened, they could not eat well and had not eaten until night.”Fu Ruihai said truthfully. Seeing Zhao Shengming's uneasy look, he hurriedly said," But don't worry, Lord Zhao. I don't think there's a problem. I went with Miss. I know what Miss said. I have seen Lord Lu and Consort Chen's reactions. I don't think they will object.”After saying that, he looked at Zhao Luyan. Zhao Luyan smiled and nodded. Fu Ruihai knew that she was very satisfied, but he was not comfortable in his heart. When could he end this two-faced life?
"You can't judge a book by its cover. It's better to be careful.”Zhao Shengming reminded him again," We only have one chance. If we want to enter the palace, it seems that we have no other way. This time, we have a favor to ask, so we must be careful." Although I'm not afraid of Lu Wangyuan, it won't be good for us if we fall out with him. If they really oppose and we are too unyielding, she will run to the emperor and bite us back. The consequences will be unimaginable.”
"Father, why are you so scared?”Zhao Luyan said unhappily," Lu Yueqin is so timid. Why would she do such a thing? Besides, we still have evidence against her. Why doesn't she think about it properly?”
"But she is Consort Chen now, after all. Her status is noble, so it's best if we don't offend her. You should know that my current status is not the same as before. If we really fight, the emperor may not stand on our side.”Zhao Shengming sighed.
Zhao Luyan didn't care about her father's worries. On the contrary, she hoped that it would be like this. However, in front of her father, she couldn't say such thoughts. After thinking for a while, she said,"Father, don't worry. As long as I, Zhao Luyan, enter the palace, your status will definitely rise step by step. " As for Lu Yueqin, you don't have to worry about her. I have my own way. I'll go find her tomorrow and make sure she agrees. Just wait for my good news."”Just like before, Zhao Luyan was full of confidence." Oh right, Father, why are you looking for Senior Brother? It probably has nothing to do with what happened today, right?”
"How is it okay? I just want to ask how Lu Wangyuan and Lu Yueqin are doing and if they agree. Of course, there was another matter related to Fu Ruihai himself.”As Zhao Shengming spoke, he walked over and patted Fu Ruihai's shoulder." Do you still remember? Before we went to Jiangluo City, I promised you that if you could help me get the Night Pearl, I would have a way to help you rise up. I've been busy these few days and didn't take care of you. Don't blame me.”
"This subordinate is Lord Zhao's subordinate. I will do whatever Lord Zhao asks me to do. I don't want to think about anything else. To be able to stay by Lord Zhao's side and follow his lead is this subordinate's blessing.”Fu Ruihai said righteously.
Zhao Shengming was very happy when Fu Ruihai said that. He patted Fu Ruihai's shoulder and said excitedly,"I am very happy that you have such a heart. As expected, I did not misjudge you. You are indeed loyal to me. However, you are a talent, and a talent cannot be buried. I recommended you to the emperor, but I thought he wouldn't agree. I didn't expect him to agree. I didn't let you down. How is it? Are you satisfied with this result?”
Fu Ruihai was not too happy. He cupped his fists and said seriously,"Thank you for your guidance, Lord Zhao. I will do my best to serve you. In fact, this subordinate would still stay by Lord Zhao's side and do his best to make Lord Zhao work.”Fu Ruihai had his own plans. If he stayed by Zhao Shengming's side and knew his plans, he could inform Priest Regret and Shen Xiyin in time and remind them what to do. Once he entered the palace, Zhao Shengming's situation would be unknown, which would be very disadvantageous to him.
"You think you can't work for me after entering the palace?" Zhao Shengming laughed. If you think that way, you're wrong. For you to enter the palace, I have put in a lot of effort, even more than Lu Yan. Although I have people in the palace, they are all related by money and are not reliable. The only one I trust is you. You are loyal to me, you will not betray me, and you will not lie to me. You have to do your best to gain the emperor's trust and then tell me his every move. Only then will I know what to do next. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I will not disappoint you.”Fu Ruihai promised. Since Zhao Shengming said so, he had no choice but to agree. He turned around and looked at Zhao Luyan. Seeing her smug face, he realized that she wanted to use him. Fu Ruihai felt very sad and did not know what to do. He only hoped that Daoist Priest Regret would come back soon so that he could discuss with him and solve his problems.
"Father, if Shixiong also enters the palace, we will be much safer together and can do things better.”Zhao Luyan said excitedly. She thought that she would not be able to control Fu Ruihai after entering the palace. Zhao Luyan did not know what to do when Zhao Shengming gave her this news. Zhao Luyan was very excited. No matter what, Fu Ruihai was still in her hands. She looked at Fu Ruihai excitedly, only to find that Fu Ruihai was very calm. She could not tell that he was happy or dissatisfied. She did not know what he was thinking. Zhao Luyan decided to ask him later.
Zhao Shengming didn't know what his daughter was thinking. He just nodded and said,""Letting Fu Ruihai go in is not only to let him help me look after the emperor, but also to protect you. Although you are very capable, that is the Imperial Palace after all. I really don't feel at ease with you there alone. With your senior brother accompanying you, I don't have to worry.”She turned to look at Fu Ruihai and said," Ruihai, I'll leave Luyan to you. You have to take good care of her. Don't let her be bullied. Do you understand?"”
"This subordinate understands. Don't worry, Lord Zhao.”Although Fu Ruihai responded in this manner, he felt disdain in his heart. Did Zhao Luyan still need anyone to protect her? It seemed that she was the only one who could use others. It was impossible for others to use her, let alone bully her.
"Father, when do you want me to go?”Although she was very happy, before she entered the palace, Zhao Luyan still wanted Fu Ruihai to stay by her side. She would only feel at ease when she saw him.
Zhao Shengming thought for a while and said,"It said within three days, but I think the sooner the better." How about this, Fu Ruihai, you go tomorrow.”
"Not tomorrow." Zhao Luyan suddenly objected, not giving Fu Ruihai a chance to speak at all. She raised her head and realized that Fu Ruihai and Zhao Shengming were looking at her strangely. She realized that she had lost her composure and quickly said," I'm going to see Lu Yueqin tomorrow. It's not good to go alone. I want Senior Brother to accompany me. That way, they won't dare to touch me and I can talk to them." Isn't that right, Senior Brother?" As she spoke, she walked in front of Fu Ruihai and looked at him meaningfully.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:052520186:08PM
