Cheng Ning looked sideways, a little surprised.
She thought Wei Yanzhou was looking for an excuse to reject her, but unexpectedly there was actually someone inside, and it was Fu Youting.
However, as Fu Youting reports on his work at the end of the year, he thinks there are many strategies to discuss for the coming year.
He still had a few bruises on his face from the fight that night.
He also looked depressed, looking like a street swinger.
He really doesn't look like a majestic general.
Cheng Ning wanted to say hello to him, but now she couldn't speak, and Fu Youting seemed to be ignoring her.
He must have been very angry that night, and now he wishes he had no contact with Cheng Ning forever.
Wang Xi sighed on the side.
How could he not be clear about Cheng Ning and Fu Youting? He was afraid that this unconventional General Fu would say something outrageous.
Fortunately, he didn't. He walked around Cheng Ning and quickly went down the steps.
Cheng Ning looked away, thinking this was best.
She doesn't deserve any friends now, let alone Fu Youting offending Wei Yanzhou for her.
They are all people with ideals and ambitions, and it would be too childish to be trapped in personal grudges.
But before Cheng Ning could finish thinking about it, Fu Youting left and returned.
He stood in front of Cheng Ning and said with a fierce expression: "Since I don't see you, what are you doing here? Can your body withstand such a breeze?"
Why did you come back suddenly...
Before Cheng Ning had time to react, Fu Youting grabbed his wrist and pulled him out: "Go back to your palace!"
"General Fu!" Wang Xi's face changed drastically: "You can't do it!"
Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, someone moved faster than him.
Grabbing Cheng Ning's wrist, Wei Yanzhou, still wearing his dragon robe, smiled sinisterly: "Why, is there anything else, General Fu?"
"You don't know what her body shape is? Let her stand here for an hour?!"
Fu Youting grabbed Cheng Ning's other wrist and held on.
Cheng Ning sighed lightly, wondering why Wei Yanzhou showed up again at this time.
She freed her hands and refused to touch any of them.
Wei Yanzhou's eyes were dangerous, completely different from when he was discussing matters in the main hall just now, and he pressed Cheng Ning behind him without any refusal.
"It seems that Fu Aiqing wasn't beaten enough that night?"
Fu Youting gasped and his eyes were red with anger.
Cheng Ning shook her head at him slightly and motioned for him to leave.
There is no benefit in irritating Wei Yanzhou, and it is easy to attract attention at the gate of Qinghe Hall.
"Your Majesty, let me remind you that Cheng Ning is the one you want to provoke. She is not a concubine who lives in the harem. She is different from your concubines. She has a stubborn temper but also has reasons for doing things. You can't abuse her like this."
When the late emperor was in power, Cheng Ning didn't have to be so aggrieved when she wanted to see the emperor.
Now that she is a concubine, Wei Yanzhou will treat her like one of those women vying for favor.
Fu Youting couldn't accept it.
"And you," Fu Youting scolded Cheng Ning: "I don't know why you made yourself so wronged and still made soup. Are your hands used to make soup?!"
Cheng Ning opened his mouth, full of bitterness.
But I have to say that Fu Youting was right.
Sometimes she looks down on herself, let alone Fu Youting.
Fu Youting cursed and got angry.
Wang Xi originally thought that after being bumped into like this, His Majesty would get angry.
But who knew that besides his gloomy face, he said nothing.
Let Fu Youting leave.
Then Cheng Ning was pulled into the palace.
Qinghe Hall is a place where official matters are discussed. A table was set up, and Wang Xi asked someone to bring lunch.
Cheng Ning's soup was taken down and heated.
"Are you touched?" Wei Yanzhou looked at her jokingly: "Fu Youting dared to offend me because of you."
Cheng Ning silently served him dishes, obviously not wanting to answer.
One advantage of being mute is that you don't open your mouth when you don't want to talk, and no one else can make a quarrel.
"Don't make it seem like you're here to eat sincerely," Wei Yanzhou pushed the dish away: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Cheng Ning thought for a while and wrote on the table with water: How are you going to deal with the smuggling of fireworks?
They all knew the reason why Cheng Ning came here.
But one of them had to ask again, and no one minded answering.
"You didn't let me hear any noise. It was found that there is indeed something wrong with this batch of fireworks, right?"
The tableware on the table was pushed aside, and was covered with words written by Cheng Ning.
She is still smart and can draw inferences from one example.
Even if Wei Yanzhou didn't reveal anything in front of her, she could still guess it accurately.
There is indeed something wrong with that batch of smuggled fireworks, both in terms of materials and quantity.
The inferior gunpowder used contained excessive sulfur and excessive metal powder.
Once ignited on a large scale, it is difficult to contain the fire.
Wei Yanzhou opened his eyes and looked at her: "What do you want?"
"If something happens, it will affect the people." Cheng Ning frowned, looking a little excited: You knew that something would happen, but you just stood by and watched?
Why is it that every time, she can't understand Wei Yanzhou more and more.
The crime of smuggling was clearly enough to punish Li, but he had to let things develop to the point of no return!
Wei Yanzhou looked at her, leaned back in his chair, and said calmly and viciously: "If nothing happens, how can we punish serious crimes? Smuggling? Who can be brought down by smuggling?"
Although Cheng Ning had already guessed what he was thinking, she still couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart when she heard him say it in person.
"You know my plan in your heart. How does it feel to tell you now in person?"
Wei Yanzhou's words were without any warmth.
While Cheng Ning was unable to write, he continued: "Sometimes I wish you weren't so sharp, because you don't have the power in your hands now. Even if you know my plan, you can't change anything."
He didn't want to see Cheng Ning because he had already guessed that if Cheng Ning could speak, he would say what he once said: "You are not suitable to be an emperor."
I think he is cruel.
It was obvious that he had a complete grasp of the fireworks smuggling movement and could arrest people with just one order.
Why do we have to wait?
Is it worth bringing down a family at the expense of putting people at risk?
Cheng Ning's face turned pale, and both of them also lost their appetite.
For a long time, she wrote on the table: So we are different.
She has been among the common people since she was a child, and she deeply understands that the people are the foundation of the country, and politics is always about sacrifice for the people.
But Wei Yanzhou is not. In his case, people sacrificed for politics.
If he wants to achieve a balance between officials in the DPRK and China and punish Li, he can sacrifice the people.
"Yes," Wei Yanzhou took a deep breath, feeling his liver hurt from Cheng Ning's anger: "Maybe Fu Youting will think the same as you, so why didn't you ask him just now?"
Cheng Ning knew that this was a serious matter and she was not allowed to reveal even a single detail about it.
Why not tell Fu Youting?
Because Fu Youting cannot compete with Wei Yanzhou with his own strength.
Cheng Ning wrote again: What does human life mean to you? You should know how many people will gather at the place where firecrackers and fireworks are set off in Yanjing on New Year's Eve!
Once the firecrackers get out of control and people are crowded, they will either be burned to death or trampled to death!
How could he still say these words so calmly?
"Cheng Ning," Wei Yanzhou leaned over and grabbed Cheng Ning's chin: "You have to understand that if I hadn't worked hard on the transportation of fireworks and found out the quality problems first, they still wouldn't have escaped death."
