In the elegant room on the third floor of Pinxiang Pavilion, Ji Zizhen, Fu Qimo and Tong Ze were sitting around the table.
"Come, let's have a drink to celebrate Qi Mo's escape from the sea of suffering!" Tong Ze proposed with a toast.
"This is a very good suggestion! From today on, Qi Mo is free." Ji Zizhen agreed with a smile.
"What's wrong with Qi Mo? I'm just waiting for you." Seeing Fu Qi Moqian sitting there neither talking to him nor raising his glass, Tong Ze urged him without hesitation.
Picking up the wine glass at hand, Fu Qimo clinked it with the two of them silently, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that Fu Qimo was in a bad state, Ji Zi really turned around and looked at Tong Ze, then he laughed twice and said: "Since Qi Mo has already drank, we can't let it go. Come on, A Ze, I respect you." "
"Together!" The two clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking a glass of wine, there was a slight burning sensation in his throat. Tong Ze picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food and said, "Speaking of which, who wants to assassinate you and the eldest princess? When I heard the news of your assassination, I almost scared to death. .”
Speaking of the assassination, Fu Qimo couldn't help but think of the scene when Ye Yun jumped off the cliff for him. A coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said solemnly: "I don't know."
"Hey, anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that the killer is after the eldest princess. You are also wronged. You have suffered this disaster for nothing." Tong Ze shook his head and looked at Fu Qimo with an expression of "I'm really sorry for you."
Fu Qimo didn't say anything about this.
Looking at Fu Qimo who had no reaction, Tong Ze was a little dumbfounded. Something was wrong, something was very wrong! Normally, whenever the eldest princess was mentioned, he would always look like he wanted to tear her into pieces, but today, he mentioned it so many times and he had no reaction at all. How is this possible!
"Qi Mo, something's wrong with you!" Tong Ze deliberately lengthened his voice and looked at Fu Qimo with a joking expression.
"What's wrong?" Fu Qimo said calmly.
"You didn't react at all when I mentioned the eldest princess today. Doesn't this explain the situation?"
"How do you want me to react?" The long and narrow eyelashes were slightly lowered, but what came to mind was Ye Yun's calm and indifferent face under the cliff that day. She said, 'I owe you what I owe you.', yes Yeah, it’s all paid off, it’s all paid off!
Fu Qimo clenched his fists unconsciously. It was strange. This was obviously the result he had dreamed of, but... why was his chest tight and he seemed to be out of breath.
Taking a deep breath, Fu Qimo raised his head again and said, "She and I will never have anything to do with each other from now on."
"That's good!" Tong Ze nodded reassuringly and said, "I thought you were interested in the eldest princess...forget it, I was overthinking it. By the way, if you have time, go see my little sister. I don’t know what’s going on, but since she was sent back by the fourth prince a few days ago, her mental state has been very bad.
Before going out today, I met her walking in the garden with the maid. Originally, I wanted to tell her about your return to make her happy, but as soon as she heard your name, she turned around and ran away with the maid.
Is there any conflict between you? Otherwise, my little sister wouldn’t have such a big reaction. "
Hearing Tong Ze talk about Tong Ying, Fu Qimo felt a sense of guilt in his heart: "Did anything... happen to her?"
"What happened?" Tong Ze looked at Fu Qimo confused: "What do you mean?"
"Did you just say that the fourth prince sent her back to the mansion?"
"Yes, I heard that the younger sister met the fourth prince on the way to Hanshan Temple. The fourth prince saw that it was not safe for the younger sister to go up the mountain alone as a girl, so he sent the younger sister back halfway." Tong Ze explained.
Fu Qimo, who knew the whole story, immediately understood that this was just Tong Ying's external rhetoric. It seemed that the fourth prince had saved Tong Ying that night.
Thinking of this, Fu Qimo finally felt relieved after blaming himself and feeling guilty for many days. However, when he thought about the timing of Yu Wenyi's appearance, Fu Qimo was filled with doubts. What was the fourth prince doing in the back of Hanshan Temple in the middle of the night? ...Those two flying dragon arrows...the more I think about them, the weirder they feel!
"Qi Mo? Qi Mo?" Ji Zizhen called Fu Qimo twice but there was no response, so Ji Zizhen simply refused to do anything and slapped Fu Qimo on the back, waking him up.
"What's wrong?" Fu Qimo looked at Ji Zizhen puzzled.
"I also want to ask you what's wrong. You haven't spoken even after being called several times. What are you thinking about!"
"Oh, it's nothing." Fu Qimo said absently.
"Forget it, Aze just asked you if you want to go horse riding at the racecourse tomorrow. I just have a rest tomorrow, so let's go together."
"My younger sister and younger sister Qi Lan haven't seen each other for a long time. When we all get together, you can have a good talk with my younger sister. I had no choice but to terminate the engagement before. Now the problem is solved. As long as the General's Mansion comes to propose marriage again, I don't think my father will Will refuse.”
"...I won't go tomorrow, you guys have fun.
Also, Tong Ying and I are not worthy of her because I have paid so much to Mo. From now on, this matter is over and there is no need to mention it again. I still have something to do, so I will take the first step and you can use it as you please. "After saying that, Fu Qimo stood up and left without looking back.
"Hey, what does he mean? My little sister has been waiting for him for so long, and he just sent us Qingguo Duke's office away with just a single blessing!" Tong Ze angrily stared in the direction where Fu Qimo left and said angrily.
"Aze, calm down, calm down. The three of us have grown up together. Don't you still know what his temper is? Even nine cows can't pull him back if he's sure. Emotional matters are not something you or I can control. , let them solve it themselves." Ji Zizhen persuaded.
"I just feel sorry for my little sister. I managed to keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight, but then the divorce happened again!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Come on, I will stay with you until you get drunk today!"
"Good brother, do it!"
In the private room, the two of them drank one cup at a time and the other drank until they were all happy.
In Fengyang Pavilion, Bai Zhi didn't come back from the house until Ye Yun was ready to go to bed. Looking at Bai Zhi, who looked tired, had wrinkled clothes, and messy bun, Ye Yun showed a hint of surprise.
"Are you... being robbed?" That shouldn't be the case. With Bai Zhi's skills, even though they were not as good as Chu Ci and Heng Wu, they wouldn't be in such an embarrassing situation.
It's okay if Ye Yun didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "Master, please don't let Bai Zhi accompany Miss Yan out in the future."
Ye Yun was slightly startled: "Why is this?"
"Miss Yan... is too scary," Bai Zhi complained: "Today Bai Zhi accompanied Miss Yan and almost visited most of the imperial capital. Whenever she saw something delicious and fun, Miss Yan would go up and touch it and play with it. It's okay, just touch it and it won't affect people's sales.
But when she encountered something to eat, she would touch it. The vendor was unwilling to let her pay, so she called the vendor a shady shopkeeper and a stingy person. She also instigated the people around her to yell and curse with her. The vendor was so angry that he almost fainted. What happened next The commotion was so big that it alerted the troops of the five cities. When Miss Yan saw the officers and soldiers coming, she ran away, leaving Bai Zhi alone. After all, she paid a lot of money and finally settled the matter! "
