Fu Ruihai fell silent. How should he answer this question? He looked at his foster father and then at Shen Xiyin. Shen Xiyin's frown made his heart ache for no reason. He thought about it and said,"If Huangfu Ye really comes and makes a move, I will do the same for self-defense. However, I won't kill him. I've said this before. Don't worry.”After saying that, he looked at Shen Xiyin seriously.
Shen Xiyin met his gaze and couldn't help but nod. Some people were like this. They didn't need to swear or curse. Just a look was enough to make people believe them completely, such as Fu Ruihai and Shen Xiyin.
"Of course I believe that you will show mercy, but Huangfu Ye won't. He will go all out. What will you do then? Swords have no eyes.”Regret was worried as he asked again," Actually, none of this is important. What's important is what if Yi Yun discovers it?”
Fu Ruihai could only give up after hearing what Regretful Daoist said. He said,""Alright, I'll listen to you. If I see Huangfu Ye's whereabouts, I'll come and tell you immediately. I won't act on my own. By the way, foster father, did you find anything on your trip to Linzhou? Did you find out who that person is?”
Regret shook his head in disappointment." No, their family has been investigated by the government. When I went there, there was nothing. I asked a few people, but they didn't know who that person was. This person was usually quiet and did not interact much with others, so the people around him did not know him very well. I investigated for a long time, but I couldn't find any results. In addition, the matter between Huangfu Ye and Yi Yunfei made me feel particularly strange, so I came back early.”He suddenly thought of something and said," Since you plan to follow Yi Yunfei the next time we meet, why don't you listen carefully to what he and Zhao Luyan have to say? If he really was the one who killed the Sixth Prince, he might know the identity of that person.”
Fu Ruihai carefully thought about it. What Daoist Priest Regret said made sense. If Yi Yun was not an ordinary person, he might really know something. He nodded and said,"Godfather, I know what to do. Wait here for my news."”He looked out of the window and saw that it was already slightly bright. Usually, Zhao Shengming and Zhao Luyan would be up by now. Although Fu Ruihai didn't want to go back, he knew that he still had many things to do and couldn't be delayed, so he said," I've already been out for a night. If I don't go back now, I'm afraid they'll find out." If Godfather has nothing else to say, I'll be leaving.”
"That's true. You should go. I've said everything I need to say. You should go back quickly. Don't let them find out.”" After you enter the palace, you still have to listen to Zhao Shengming. Don't let him find out anything."”Although he was unwilling to let him enter the palace, there was nothing he could do. Fu Ruihai had a stubborn personality and was unwilling to leave Zhao Luyan. He could only stand by the side and watch silently, unable to say anything.
Fu Ruihai nodded and turned around. He opened the door and left without stopping.
Shen Xiyin raised her head when she heard the door close. She felt a little disappointed when she saw that Fu Ruihai had already left. It was as if there was still something she had not told him. There were still some things she had not said to him. She had barely spoken just now. It was not that she had no chance, but she did not know where to start. If he wanted to know, he could only say one thing…Huangfu Ye. He didn't dare to say anything else. However, there was no need to talk about Huangfu Ye's matter. Fu Ruihai already knew about it and had agreed to it. There was no point in saying it again, so Shen Xiyin felt that she had nothing to say and kept silent. If Fu Ruihai really found Huangfu Ye and fought him, Huangfu Ye would definitely be at a disadvantage. However, she was not worried at all because she knew that Fu Ruihai would not attack Huangfu Ye. However, what about Huangfu Ye? He knew that he was no match for Fu Ruihai. Would he use other despicable means to hurt Fu Ruihai? This was what she was worried about, but she didn't say it out loud just now. She felt that it was necessary to remind Fu Ruihai, but she also felt that it was inappropriate. Huangfu Ye was her husband. Why was she always thinking of others? Shen Xiyin felt that she was very muddle-headed. She swore that she would never let her imagination run wild again. She would wait wholeheartedly for Huangfu Ye to return, for the husband and wife to reunite, and for their happiness to be harmonious. However, she could not help but worry for Fu Ruihai. For a moment, she was conflicted and at a loss.
Fu Ruihai walked very slowly. From time to time, he would look back as if he was waiting for something. Finally, he realized that he was waiting for Shen Xiyin to come over and say something to him. She had only said one sentence just now, but Fu Ruihai felt that she still had a lot to say. It was probably because Daoist Priest Regret was beside her, so she was too embarrassed to say it. Then, could she come out and see him now and say a few words? Fu Ruihai was a little disappointed when he turned around and did not see any familiar figures. She had almost forgotten that Shen Xiyin was already Huangfu Ye's wife. They had lost their chance a long time ago, and she could not let her imagination run wild. Although they were close by, there were thousands of mountains and rivers in their hearts. Some words could not be said. He shook his head helplessly and looked at the sky. He had to go back. If Zhao Luyan found out, it would be difficult to deal with. Thinking of Zhao Luyan gave him another headache. He quickened his pace and walked back.
When Fu Ruihai returned, the guard told him that Zhao Shengming had been waiting for him. Fu Ruihai was shocked. He had indeed been discovered. If he had known earlier, he would have come back earlier. What was the use of regretting? It would not solve any problem. He shook his head helplessly and went to Zhao Shengming's room. Zhao Shengming was changing his clothes. He didn't dare to disturb him, so he stood aside and waited. After Zhao Shengming changed his clothes, he heard the voice behind him and knew that Fu Ruihai had arrived. He turned around and asked in a bad mood,"Where did you go last night? Do you know that I've been waiting for you all night?”Although Zhao Luyan had explained it to him, Zhao Shengming still didn't believe her. He wanted to ask her personally to see if their answers were the same.
"Lu Yan was very anxious about Lu Yueqin's matter, so she asked me to go to the Lu Residence to take a look.”Fu Ruihai said this on purpose, pushing the blame onto Zhao Luyan. He knew that Zhao Luyan needed his help, so she would definitely admit it. But now that Zhao Luyan was not here, could Zhao Shengming believe it? Fu Ruihai was a little suspicious. He didn't know how Zhao Luyan had explained herself last night. He carefully observed Zhao Shengming's facial expression to see if there was anything unusual about him.
Zhao Luyan had said the same thing last night. It seemed that it was true. Zhao Shengming was relieved, but he couldn't help but scold her,"We are going to enter the palace to meet the emperor today. Why do we still have to do such a thing? What if we delay the time?”He sighed and asked," Why did it take so long? Did they change their mind and disagree?”
"That's not it. Consort Chen is not at home. Lord Lu is alone, so I didn't disturb him. Because he was worried, he stayed there. He didn't expect to find nothing for the whole night, so he had to come back. I'm incompetent. I hope Lord Zhao will punish me.”As Fu Ruihai spoke, he respectfully knelt down.
"Forget it. It's actually nothing. I knew that there would be no results, but Luyan didn't believe me.”Zhao Shengming said reproachfully. He walked to Fu Ruihai's side, patted his shoulder, and comforted him," You've been busy all night. I should have let you rest well, but the matter of entering the palace cannot be delayed. Go and prepare quickly. Later, you will enter the palace with me."”
"Yes." Fu Ruihai was about to leave when he saw the door open and Zhao Luyan walk in. He did not dare to leave immediately and could only stay there.
Seeing Fu Ruihai, Zhao Luyan's heart, which had been hanging in the air for the entire night, finally relaxed. Late last night, Zhao Luyan heard someone knocking on Fu Ruihai's door. She got up and saw that it was her father. Fu Ruihai did not open the door for a long time. She knew that Fu Ruihai might have gone out. In order not to make her father suspicious, she could only tell him that she had asked Fu Ruihai to go out and check on Lu Wangyuan. Zhao Luyan could only accept the inevitable scolding and hope that Fu Ruihai would come back soon. Not knowing where Fu Ruihai had gone, Zhao Luyan felt uneasy and did not sleep for the entire night. When he saw Fu Ruihai return, he wanted to ask him what was going on, but he saw Fu Ruihai go to his father's room. He was afraid that Zhao Shengming would make things difficult for him, so he hurried over. When she saw Fu Ruihai, she remembered the explanation she had given to her father last night. She pretended not to care about her father and ran to Fu Ruihai. She said anxiously,"What's wrong with you? I've been waiting for you all night. Why are you only back now? How was Lu Wangyuan's condition? Was there any unusual movement?”Before Fu Ruihai could say anything, Zhao Shengming spoke…
"What can Lu Wangyuan do? He's been in the capital for so many days, but he hasn't gone to court. I think he's afraid of us and doesn't dare to act rashly. You wasted an entire night.”Zhao Shengming scolded.
"Your daughter is also anxious. She wants to enter the palace as soon as possible and work for father.”Zhao Luyan hurriedly explained," Don't you want me to enter the palace earlier?”
"Of course I want to, but this matter can't be rushed. Didn't Lu Yueqin say seven days? We'll give her seven days, and we'll have a result in seven days. We can't be too hasty. If we push them too hard, it'll be disadvantageous to us. Alright, this matter ends here. I told you that your senior brother will enter the palace with me today, but you still asked him to do things. How tired is he?”
"Sir, I'm fine. I'm willing to serve you and Miss Zhao.”Fu Ruihai looked at the father and daughter and said seriously," If there's nothing else, I'll go out and prepare.”Seeing Zhao Shengming nod, Fu Ruihai left.
Seeing Fu Ruihai leave, Zhao Luyan was very anxious. If Fu Ruihai entered the palace today, there would be no chance to meet him. She had to ask him about the matter before he left, so she said,"Father hasn't eaten yet, right? I'll get the kitchen to prepare it immediately.”
"Alright, just let them make some simple preparations. Don't go through too much trouble, or it'll be too late.”Zhao Shengming warned.
After leaving the study, Zhao Luyan gave her personal maid Xi Mei some instructions before heading straight to Fu Ruihai's room. Fu Ruihai had already finished dressing up and was about to go out when he saw Zhao Luyan enter. He was shocked. Before he could speak, he heard Zhao Luyan ask directly,"Where did you go last night?”
"Didn't I say it just now? I was sent to the Lu Mansion by you to monitor Lu Wangyuan's actions. Why? Did you forget so quickly?”Fu Ruihai said with a smile on purpose. He could not admit it. If he told Zhao Luyan about Shen Xiyin and his foster father now, it would be equivalent to harming them. Fu Ruihai would not do that. He could only pester Zhao Luyan like this. In order for Zhao Luyan to leave as soon as possible, he deliberately added," I'll be entering the palace with your father later. I estimate that I'll only be back once in half a month. If there's anything, you'd better say it quickly. I don't have much time."”
"Are you asking me to leave?" Zhao Luyan sneered and asked," I'm not my father. I know you very well. No matter what you do, you can't hide it from me. I advise you to tell me the truth quickly. Tell me what you've been doing these past few days. Otherwise, it's not my responsibility to delay the time.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:052520186:07PM
