Murong Fu praised, "As expected of the prime minister, he is overly worried and extremely resourceful. Do you think that with this matter, we, Yanbei, can really break away from the Song Dynasty, not be threatened by public opinion, and establish ourselves as king?"
Han Zhongyan said, "Just as the subordinates said to the officials, 'If you want to impose a crime, there is no need to excuse it.' The same applies to the head of the family."
"There is no need for the world to believe it. As long as the head of the family believes it himself, this matter is true. When the world has no choice but to believe it, it will be the best time for me, Dayan, to start an uprising."
Murong Fu nodded slightly and said, "It seems that you have made enough preparations for this day."
Han Zhongyan said, "I would also like to thank the master of the family for giving me the authority to control the Shadow Tower. Otherwise, I would not be able to do this alone." ?.?????.???
Murong Fu stood up and walked to him, patted his shoulder and said, "I, Murong Fu, rarely convince others in my life, but you, Qi Jin, are definitely one of you!"
Han Zhongyan was shocked. He didn't expect that he would be able to take on this honor in the heart of the family master. He couldn't help but feel flattered. He quickly knelt down and thanked, "My subordinate Qi Jin is willing to go through fire and water for the Murong family for generations to come, even if I die!"
Murong Fu looked up to the sky and smiled, then opened the door and left.
Han Zhongyan looked at the back of his family master as he left, with a burning light flashing in his eyes. This was the master he was willing to follow his whole life, and this was the King of Yan that his Murong family had been waiting for for hundreds of years.
…
At the dinner table, Xiao Qi showed off her knowledge and cooked several dishes that Murong Fu liked.
She learned these from Abi in the military camp. Later she settled in Yanbei Longcheng, and she did not forget to ask A'Zhu for a few tips, which is how she developed her cooking skills today.
Murong Fu was indeed a little hungry, so he started to feast on the delicious food on the table. Among them were some of Murong Chengze's favorite side dishes, so this meal was very delicious for him.
After tea and dinner, Murong Chengze left early and went to the Buddhist hall in the backyard to find the sweeping monk to recite sutras and cultivate himself.
Xiao Qi's pretty face was slightly red, and she shyly ordered her servants to prepare hot water and use a screen to separate the room.
When the two of them walked in, the steaming mist made them feel as if they were in a fairyland. The slightly moist hazy feeling made the two of them quickly enter the state.
Xiao Qi was pushed into the bath by Murong Fu half-heartedly. The separation between the two was better than the newlyweds. Now that their love is strong, they no longer care about being reserved. They just want to be in love with each other and relieve the pain of lovesickness.
I don’t know how long it had passed, but a seductive blush appeared on Xiao Qi’s jade-like skin. She leaned limply in her lover’s arms. Her face was as beautiful as fire. A few drops of sweat fell down her beautiful cheeks, and her temples were covered with blue hair. The water stains stick to the face, and the beautiful eyes have a bit of intoxicating spring after joy, which is charming and seductive.
Their skin was touching, and Murong Fu could feel the soft and delicate body of the person in his arms. He kissed her cheek with a hint of satisfaction in his eyes and asked, "I see that you look sick today, but do you still have lingering fears?"
Xiao Qi came back to reality from the aftertaste, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her tone was soft, with a hint of fear: "I never thought that the officials would be suspicious of you so quickly..."
Murong Fu said, "Emperors of all dynasties have always been like this, so you don't have to worry too much."
Xiao Qi shrank into his arms, as if seeking comfort.
"But I am a member of the royal family after all. I don't want you to be in trouble, nor do I want anyone to do anything bad to you."
Murong Fu didn't want to discuss this embarrassing matter with his beloved. When he was about to change the subject, Xiao Qi suddenly grabbed his arm, looking a little struggling and nervous.
After hesitating for a long time, he looked at him seriously and said, "If... I mean if, when the time comes when you and Da Song have to go to war with each other, please remember that Xiao Qi will always be your wife."
After saying that, he hugged Murong Fu tightly, lay on his chest and said, "When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. This suspicion originated from the official family, so the officials no longer need to take into account Xiao Qi's identity!"
Murong Fu thought she was asking him to be merciful, but when he heard the second sentence, he felt relieved instantly.
In this way, he will no longer have such a strong sense of guilt for what he will do in the future.
"You will always be my princess, Murong Fu, and my wife. No matter what, I will leave a room for you."
Murong Fu assured her.
After hearing this, Xiao Qi felt a little relieved from her nervousness.
…
Early the next morning, the morning light penetrated the window lattice and shone into the room.
Xiao Qi huddled lazily in Murong Fu's arms, unwilling to wake up.
After the two of them opened their hearts last night, they felt more in love with each other, so they lost control and kept tossing until very late before going to bed. Even Murong Fu wanted to have a good sleep.
But soon news came from the palace that the official family summoned him to the palace.
Hearing this, Xiao Qi got up and helped him get dressed. Murong Fu didn't bother her and asked her to sleep well. After washing himself, he went into the palace with the chamberlain.
Huizong did not go to court today and stayed with the queen in the Renming Palace until she came to her senses. According to the prescription left by Murong Fu, he began to prepare medicinal food for the queen to take.
Miraculously, the queen could already sit up at dawn. If Huizong hadn't refused, she would have wanted to get out of bed and walk around.
After all, she had been lying there for a full month. Although her body had been improved by the Marrow Cleansing Meridian, the queen still felt a little stiff all over her body and wanted to move around.
Huizong was amazed by Murong Fu's medical skills, but he was afraid that he would be in trouble again, so he immediately ordered someone to ask him to check.
Murong Fu, who came to the Renming Hall, checked the queen and said, "The officials can rest assured that the saint's body is fine. As long as he follows Wei Chen's medicinal diet, he will slowly recover."
After Murong Fu noticed Huizong's warning gaze, he knew that he did not want to tell the Queen that he could only live for two more years, so he followed his wishes.
Queen Wang had only met Murong Fu a few times, but her impression was extremely profound. After learning that he had saved her, she felt very grateful.
"I didn't expect that in addition to being versatile in civil and military affairs, King Yan was also so skilled in medicine. It's really admirable!"
Murong Fu was neither humble nor arrogant and said, "The saint is over praised!"
Huizong saw that the queen's complexion was not generally good. Although he was relieved, he was still a little worried and said, "King Yan, the queen has been telling me that she wants to get out of bed and move around. In your opinion, it will not affect her condition, right?"
Murong Fu said, "The officials can rest assured that the saint's body is basically in good health. Taking the medicinal diet also plays a role in conditioning. It can be said that the saint is now no different from ordinary people. He can move around more and activate his muscles and bones."
After hearing what he said, Huizong finally felt relieved and said very happily, "King Yan saved the queen's life. I must repay this favor. If King Yan has any wishes, you can tell me and I will grant them all."
Murong Fu cupped his hands and said, "As a minister, I serve the Song Dynasty and share the worries of the officials. It is my duty. I dare not try to repay it."
"It's just that the dog is still young and has a naughty nature. I have asked the officials to agree to let me take him home and train him for a few years. Then he will enter the Zishan Hall of the East Palace, where he will always be with the prince and listen to the sage's teachings!"
As soon as Murong Fu finished speaking, he thought Huizong would find excuses to evade the matter, but unexpectedly, he readily agreed to the matter in front of the queen.
