There is only a wall between the Fu family and the family of General Lu Dingyue of the auxiliary state. Fu Qingchu and Lu Yunzhou can be considered as children. There was a rebellion in Yunzhong, and Emperor Yuanhe sent Lu Dingyue to put down the rebellion. Lu Yunzhou, who had wanted to make contributions since he was a child, went on an expedition with his father and stayed there for three years.
Fu Qingchu was also very happy to see Lu Yunzhou and couldn't help but punch him, "He still looks like this."
Lu Yunzhou smiled and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's change places."
Fu Qingchu glanced at Situ Ce and saw that he was lowering his head to listen to Cui Yunxi's words. He probably wouldn't need her service for a while, so he turned to Lu Yunzhou and said, "Okay."
The two of them found a place to hide, and then they looked at me and I looked at you. They didn't know what to say for a while, but in the end they couldn't help but laugh.
"When did you come back?" Fu Qingchu asked knowingly, breaking the awkward silence.
"Three days ago." Lu Yunzhou smiled, "I never had a chance to see you."
As soon as these words came out, Fu Qingchu didn't know what to say. He thought for a while and said, "I'm pretty good."
Lu Yunzhou looked at her, his eyes dimmed a little, "Your Majesty has ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world. Your family's affairs have also been deceived and deceived. I will ask my father to write a letter to plead for your family..."
"Yunzhou..." Fu Qingchu hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty knows all about my family's affairs, so rashly submitting a letter would not be good for General Lu."
Lu Yunzhou hesitated to speak, then thought for a moment and said, "Then I will plead with Your Majesty to let you out of the palace."
Hearing this, Fu Qingchu was a little surprised and helpless. Yunzhong's three years of bitter cold have not softened his temperament. He only speaks and does things according to his own liking.
"For me, it's better to be outside the palace than inside the palace." Fu Qingchu said with a helpless smile.
Seeing the bitterness on her face, Lu Yunzhou finally understood that her family was ruined, and where could she go after leaving the palace?
"Where's Shen Zhuo?"
Hearing this name suddenly, Fu Qingchu couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, feeling as if he was in another world. Situ Ce told her that he resigned and returned to his hometown. Before leaving, he asked Situ Ce to give her a message for her to cherish in the future.
Fu Qingchu felt his heart tighten, and grievances and sourness surged over him.
Seeing that Fu Qingchu didn't say anything, Lu Yunzhou couldn't help but said angrily: "It's true that every time a dog is slaughtered in a righteous way, it will be a scholar who betrays his heart!"
"He's not." Fu Qingchu hurriedly explained, "He has done what he can. He even gave up his future for me. You can't blame him. Everything is fate and you can't control it at all."
Shen Zhuo didn't feel sorry for her, but she couldn't repay his affection.
"In the early Qing Dynasty..." Lu Yunzhou looked at her with a distressed face, "Besides Shen Zhuo, can you also look at others?"
Seeing him looking at him affectionately, Fu Qingchu felt a pain in his heart, and tears fell unexpectedly. I felt extremely wronged and finally broke down in tears.
She and Lu Yunzhou were childhood sweethearts, but the heads of the two families, one was the eldest prince's grandfather and the other was the prince's uncle, although they seemed to be doing well, they couldn't walk the same path after all.
Therefore, even if there is any friendship between children, it will be cut off with a swing of a knife. When he heard that Fu Qingchu and Shen Zhuo were engaged, Lu Yunzhou's love affair was cut off and he made a vow that "Loulan will never be returned until he breaks her".
Now that Loulan is broken, Fu Qingchu is also forced to be free.
He has always disliked the intrigues in the court. The new emperor ascended the throne, and everything seemed peaceful, but in fact things were treacherous, and the real struggle had just begun.
He wanted to take Fu Qingchu away, take her away from the land of right and wrong, whether it was to Yunzhong or to Liangzhou to be with her family. This was also the reason why he returned to Beijing this time.
"If you are willing, I will go to Your Majesty tomorrow to ask for grace. If I cannot ask for grace, I will ask the Queen Mother to ask..."
"Yunzhou..." Fu Qingchu hurriedly called him, "Today is different from the past."
"What about now? What about the past? This world is all holy, why would he be stingy with you?" Lu Yunzhou was very puzzled.
Hearing this, Fu Qingchu felt even more bitter in his heart.
When she rejected Shen Zhuo that day, she was still able to stop Shen Zhuo on the grounds that the prince could pardon her whole family. But now that Situ Jian is dead and her family's sins cannot be forgiven, how should she answer Lu Yunzhou?
Said she wanted to create a prosperous age with Situ Ce?
This sounds ridiculous to her now.
How can she save the world when she can't even save her own family?
Fu Qingchu looked at him with tears in his eyes, "I gave you my pearls and we shed tears. I wish I could meet you before we were married."
Hearing this, Lu Yunzhou felt a trace of disbelief, and turned to look in the direction of Situ Ce. Seeing that he was still talking and laughing with Cui Yunxi, he became even more angry.
"Him?" he said angrily, "I don't care! I just want you to be free! I want you to be happy!"
Hearing this, Fu Qingchu felt even more bitter in his heart, his tears were like broken beads, and he choked with sobs: "Your Majesty treats me very well, and my life is not as miserable as you imagined..."
"Why are you crying if it's not bitter?" Lu Yunzhou asked with a frown, "He was watching the fireworks with his queen and his cousin, and you were hiding behind others and crying alone. You told me that he treated you well?"
Lu Yunzhou didn't say it was okay, but he pointed it out. Fu Qingchu felt bitter and embarrassed in her heart. She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, and after a while she said: "I love him, and I am willing to do so."
"You..." Lu Yunzhou was a little in disbelief, "You love him, he has three wives and four concubines, does he love you?"
"That's enough for me to love him." Fu Qingchu raised his eyes and looked at him firmly.
Lu Yunzhou looked at her and felt ridiculous. He didn't understand how such stupid words came out of her mouth.
He wanted to be angry, but looking at her stubborn face, he only felt distressed. He nodded with a wry smile and remained silent for a long time before saying: "There are too many white-headed ladies in the palace, and you are not missing."
Hearing this, Fu Qingchu felt greatly sad.
She spoke so decisively just to make him give up and not offend Situ Ce, but this silly boy still wanted to persuade her.
"Yunzhou, there are many good girls in this world..."
"But I only want you!"
As the last firework bloomed, the night returned to tranquility, making Lu Yunzhou's stubborn and affectionate words sound extremely loud.
Someone heard the news and came over, and saw Fu Qingchu and Lu Yunzhou standing opposite each other, not knowing what they were talking about.
Fu Qingchu was also frightened by the sudden silence. He turned to look at the crowd and saw that Situ Ce was also looking this way.
Her heart tightened, and she turned to look at Lu Yunzhou and said solemnly: "Yunzhou, there is no grass anywhere in the world. I have already been sorry to Shen Zhuo, and I don't want to be sorry to you again. Don't say such things in the future. It doesn't matter to you or to me." good."
She said, enduring the sourness in her heart, turned around and left.
Lu Yunzhou didn't dare to pull her away, so he could only watch her leave. He turned to look at Situ Ce who was talking to Cui Yunxi. He gritted his teeth with hatred and turned around to hide in the darkness.
"Then we agreed that my cousin will set off such beautiful fireworks for me on my birthday." Cui Yunxi looked at Situ Ce and said with an innocent smile.
Situ Ce looked at the direction Fu Qingchu was leaving. He didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and he replied absently: "Yeah, okay."
Cheng Hehe couldn't help but snorted coldly, his eyes almost rolled to the sky.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to rest." Cheng Shehe said coldly, threw up his sleeves and walked away.
Situ Ce turned to look at her and suddenly responded: "Okay, let's go back now." After saying that, he turned to Cui Yunxi and said, "You should go back and rest early."
Having said this, Cui Yunxi couldn't say anything more, so she could only say: "Congratulations to Your Majesty."
Situ Ce responded and followed Cheng Shehe.
Cui Yunxi looked at Cheng Hehe with disgust in her eyes, snorted coldly, and went back with her father.
…
"That girl Cui today is so charming." Lu Man said while making the bed.
"Dancing, why don't you have both spirit and form?" Fu Qingchu took off his hairpin in front of the mirror and said indifferently.
"Sister, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?" Lu Man was so angry that he even unmade the bed and looked at Fu Qingchu, "Even the empress is so straightforward and has no scheming, I can see that she has a plan, what kind of magic is there? Both?”
Fu Qingchu put down his comb, sighed and said: "Miss Cui and His Majesty's childhood sweethearts, it is normal even if there is anything. What's more, men can have three wives and four concubines, and our Majesty only has one queen."
Speaking of this, Lu Man became even more angry, "Your Majesty is well versed in books and etiquette, why haven't you given me a title now?"
"Isn't it already there, Neisheren?" Fu Qingchu said with a smile.
"That's an official position."
"That's also a status..."
"But for a girl..."
"What were you two arguing about? I heard Lu Man getting very angry outside."
When the two heard the sound and saw Situ Ce lifting the curtain and coming in, they were both startled and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Situ Ce helped Fu Qingchu stand up and glanced at Lu Man, who withdrew knowingly.
"What are you arguing about?" Situ Ce looked at her and asked with a smile.
Fu Qingchu undressed her and said with a smile: "Lv Man said that being a member of the inner house is an official position, and I hope your majesty will give me a title."
"In the early Qing Dynasty..." Situ Ce hugged her from behind, "It's not that I didn't give you a status, but I gave you a status. Then they should say that the harem is involved in politics."
Fu Qingchu held his hand and smiled nonchalantly: "I know, I was just about to explain to Lu Man, and you came in."
He kissed her earlobe and said softly: "The one who knows me is from the early Qing Dynasty."
Fu Qingchu smiled, did not answer, and asked the palace servants to come in and wash themselves.
"Is it Lu Yunzhou who is talking to you today?" Situ Ce soaked his feet and asked casually.
Fu Qingchu was arranging his clothes. His hands froze when he heard this, and he responded indistinctly.
"What did you say? I saw that he was a little excited." Situ Ce continued to test.
"I didn't say anything." Fu Qingchu said with a faint smile.
"Didn't you say anything?" Situ Ce looked up at her. Although there was a smile in his eyes, Fu Qingchu felt a slight chill.
Fu Qingchu looked at him and felt his heart tighten, and his entire chest suddenly hurt. The bitterness spread from the tip of his heart to his limbs.
She wanted to smile bitterly, but she didn't dare to face him who was so cold.
I never thought that such hypocritical temptations would be used between them.
She felt so tired for a moment. She was not so tired when she was competing with Situ Jian in a battle of wits and courage. For a time, I also felt a lot of boredom.
She put down the clothes in her hands, walked over and knelt in front of Situ Ce, "Your Majesty."
Situ Ce was so shocked that he quickly stepped out of the footbath to help her, "What are you doing?"
Fu Qingchu took two steps back and knelt on the ground again, "Your Majesty, please grant me a request."
Situ Ce frowned and looked at her, "What request?"
"Now that Your Majesty has ascended to a great position, he is assisted by virtuous ministers such as Shangshu Ling, Zhongshu Ling, etc. I am the daughter of a guilty minister, and now I am listed among the civil servants, which is detrimental to Your Majesty's wisdom. I have asked Your Majesty to banish me to show His Majesty's wisdom. " Fu Qingchu said, bowing his head.
Situ Ce felt a stinging pain in his heart. He looked at Fu Qingchu on the ground with some disbelief and said in a trembling tone: "Lu Yunzhou is back, and you want to leave me?"
