No one can tell at what moment his heart started shouting out to Gong Yueyue. Maybe it was when she told him personally that she wanted to be with Zhao Changyuan life and death; maybe it was the day she gave birth; maybe it was when he was weak. , she passed by him as cold as ice...
The reason doesn't matter, because this result is really only beneficial to him. After all, when trapped in a love triangle, the most painful person is always the one who is excluded.
As soon as Fu Yun saw Pan Zhuqing walking into the room, his heart beat like thunder. He bit his lips and lowered his head. The courage he had shown when he confessed to him in his room last time had disappeared.
Pan Zhuqing walked to the bedside, keeping a distance of four or five steps from her, and then there was silence for a moment.
"I didn't expect that Brother Pan would come to see Yun'er in person..." It was Fu Yun who spoke first to break the seemingly awkward situation.
"I came here because I actually have something I want to tell you personally."
Only then did Fu Yun raise his head, occasionally making eye contact with him: "What does Brother Pan want to say?"
"I have carefully considered what you said these past two days. You should know what I am talking about."
"Yun'er... know..." She could faintly feel his alienation and coldness today, and a chill came over her heart.
There was another uncomfortable silence. He suddenly took a deep breath and said as if he had made up his mind: "I don't think we... are..."
"Brother Pan!" Fu Yun suddenly interrupted him loudly, almost startling Pan Zhuqing.
Immediately, what she said sounded out of place, but Pan Zhuqing was completely silenced...
"Nothing happened to Yun'er this time. People say that Yun'er is destined to be lucky. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be lucky in the future."
"Do you still remember, I fell off a horse when I was a child, and once I fell into a river and almost drowned..."
"It's all Yun'er's own misfortune, it has nothing to do with anyone..."
At this point, two lines of hot tears rolled down her eyes: "Brother Pan... please... don't reject me in a hurry. At least... not now... I haven't been so happy in a long time... give me more Would you like a little time?"
He stared blankly at her who was crying silently. The inexplicable soreness spread from his throat to his heart, and from his heart to his stomach. After an unknown amount of time, he took a few steps closer to her and said in a low voice: " You should have a good rest and protect yourself. If it is not necessary, please do not go out recently."
"Yes! I will take care of myself!" She nodded, then remembered that he was also a patient. "Brother Pan, what about you? Are you okay?"
He lowered his head and chuckled, stretched out his right hand and touched her face: "I'm much better."
The cool and dry touch was as fleeting as a drop of water, but it made her feel like she was electrocuted, and all the blood in her body rushed to her cheeks.
"It seems that it is still a problem with Yun'er's medical skills..." She lowered her head, her smile was like a flower, and her voice was like a mosquito.
"Don't worry, even if you lose your job, you can still become an old book boy and you won't starve to death."
"Does Madam like playing riddles so much? It's a pity that I'm really not good at it."
"Wind and cold can be cured, but heart disease is difficult to cure. I just seemed to hear someone's heart crying out for pain! Who was it?" She spoke rudely while looking him up and down with a malicious smile. He deliberately delayed the illness. His little tricks could be hidden from Fu Yun, but they couldn't escape Gong Yueyue's eyes.
She also listened to the conversation just now in Fu Yun's house. It wasn't that she was gossiping, but she always felt that Fu Yun's car accident was not an accident. After listening to the conversation between the two, she was basically sure that she This was just one aspect. On the other hand, Pan Zhuqing's expression and behavior when facing Fu Yun were also seen by her and remembered in her heart. She clearly heard Pan Zhuqing's tone when he was about to say his rejection. I can't bear the helplessness and uncontrollable trembling.
It has long been known to everyone that Zhao Changyuan has a serious tendency to self-abuse. But now in Gong Yueyue's view, the seemingly indestructible Pan Zhuqing is actually even worse than Zhao Changyuan in this regard. The little general abuses himself but not himself Heart, but Pan Zhuqing tortured others, himself and his heart.
Seeing his back turning away without comment, Gong Yueyue felt sad in her heart. Fortunately, when she saw him for the first time on the street, she was forcibly dragged away by Zhao Changyuan. Otherwise, with her kind of character, even if she really fell in love with him, Most of them will end in tragedy.
As soon as he returned home, Pan Zhuqing met Xue Jiu head-on in the foyer.
"Young Master, you are back. How is Miss Fu's injury?"
Pan Zhuqing didn't stop, and sighed absently: "My body is fine, I'm just very sad. There's nothing I can do, and I'll get better slowly."
Xue Jiu followed him and laughed dryly: "That's right. This is not the first time that the young master has rejected her."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xue Jiu was immediately shocked at his own stupidity. How did he, Xue Jiu, know that Pan Zhuqing came here to reject Fu Yun? He shouldn't know so much about their relationship, because Pan Zhuqing didn't say a word to him Said.
He swallowed nervously and looked at Pan Zhuqing's back in fear. But the other party still hurried towards the study, asking him about trivial matters in the censor's desk along the way.
Xue Jiu gradually felt relieved. Fortunately, Pan Zhuqing was not interested in Fu Yun, otherwise he would have been in disaster.
Walking into the study, the master and the servant discussed business again in front of the desk. Xue Jiu kept observing the other person's expression until he found that his expression was indeed as bright as Zhao's, and then he left with confidence.
It was a pity that when he closed the door and turned to leave, he missed the suddenly frozen look in Pan Zhuqing's eyes who was sitting at the desk.
Fu Yun was originally a girl who didn't like to go out, but now after listening to Pan Zhuqing's instructions, it was as if she had received an imperial edict and she had not even stepped out of Zhao Mansion.
Fortunately, most of the people in Zhao's residence were easy to get along with, and the young people were all lively and interesting, so she never felt depressed.
Gong Yueyue simplified and adjusted the card game that was popular in the first century and promoted it in Zhao's mansion. In his spare time, it was a good pastime to kill boring time.
But as the days get cooler day by day, Gong Yueyue becomes more and more worried. Of course, there is only one reason: her lover still has no return date.
Fortunately, Fang Zhiwen, the extra, is becoming more and more professional. Fortunately, Master Pan has never given up on tracing Zhao Changyuan's whereabouts. Fortunately, soldiers such as He Yong and Yang Jinyi, even though they knew Zhao Changyuan was not here, they still fulfilled their duties to protect this land.
But the calm over the turbulent undercurrent could not last long. Half a month after Fu Yun's car accident, an imperial edict came all the way from Kaifeng to the Zhao Mansion. When the father-in-law who announced the edict finished reading the content, everyone was shocked Accident.
This is an ordinary summons, but this time, the person who was summoned to the palace to see the emperor was not Zhao Xiong, not Zhao Changyuan, nor Liu or Gong Yueyue. It was Fu Yun, who was a commoner and had always been unknown. .
The imperial edict did not indicate the reason why the emperor summoned her to the palace. But in any case, this would not be an easy and happy thing for Fu Yun.
"I won't go." Her attitude was very clear and decisive from the beginning.
Mrs. Liu quickly closed the study door to avoid being spread out and causing trouble to Fu Yun. Then she turned back to advise her: "Silly girl, this is the Holy Father's will. Do you still want to resist it?" "
"When he insulted my father so much, I didn't want to see him." As the saying goes, Fu Yun's feelings for the emperor were not formed in a short time. Just like her cheerful temperament, It will never become as sentimental as it is now in a day or two. But once the change is formed, it will be difficult to unravel. "Yueyue, what should I do? I don't want to go to the palace to meet the saint."
Gong Yueyue, who had been thinking for a long time, comforted her and said, "Don't resist so much. For now, we'd better find out why the emperor summoned you."
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Xiong and asked: "Dad, is there any way to get some inside information?"
Zhao Xiong stood up from the table and walked back and forth in the room: "I can write to your father and ask, but it will take a long time to come and go. But the day when Miss Fu enters the palace is imminent."
Everyone fell into deep thought for a moment.
Gong Yueyue suddenly had an idea and said: "Otherwise, we can discuss it with Pan Zhuqing."
"He is so troubled, how can I disturb him..." In these more than ten days, Pan Zhuqing has not even shown his face. Fu Yun has no confidence at all.
"You're still so reserved at this time? He has many methods and is well-informed. He may be able to help you." Gong Yueyue couldn't help but pull Fu Yun up from the chair and push him to the door of the room: "I'll take you there."
When Gong Yueyue and Fu Yun arrived at the gate of Pan's Mansion in a carriage under the strict escort of four heavily armed men, the guards immediately greeted Gong Yueyue respectfully and started beating Gong Yueyue who stepped out of the carriage alone. Greeting: "Mrs. Zhao, come to see our second young mistress?"
Gong Yueyue said with a friendly smile: "No, come to see your eldest young master."
"The eldest young master is not in the house at the moment. Madam, do you want to go into the house and wait for him to come back? Or do you want me to convey something to you?"
"It's so late, where are you?" She couldn't help but mutter, and then asked: "When will he be back?"
"I don't know. Otherwise, I will take you to see the Second Young Mistress?"
"Oh no, she is pregnant and needs to rest. It is not convenient for me to disturb her at this hour. How about this, I will wait for him in the carriage for a while while you are busy with your business and don't worry about me."
At this time, Pan Zhuqing was entertaining an old friend from afar at Cangyue Tower, that is, Eunuch Zhong who had visited Zhao Mansion with the imperial edict.
"Master Pan is so interesting that he took time out of his busy schedule to get together with Zhong." No one dares to look down on Pan Zhuqing today. Even though Eunuch Zhong had just replaced Tong Xian and became the head of the palace's internal affairs, in front of him When dealing with Pan Zhuqing, I had to put down all my airs and deal with it carefully.
What he didn't expect was that although Pan Zhuqing was not enthusiastic in private, he was also gentle and polite: "Master Zhong has come a long way, and it is rare for younger generations to meet old friends in this foreign land. No matter what, I have to reminisce with you." (To be completed.) Continued)
