The weather was fine in March, and Fu Qingzhu, wearing a blue dress, took a small sedan back to the Huaiyang Palace.
As soon as I entered the second door, I met Yao Ruowei who was about to go out.
Fu Qingzhu bowed and saluted. Yao Ruowei looked at her carefully and said with a smile: "Who helped you choose this outfit?"
"If I go back to the county master, it was given by Mrs. Zhizhou." Fu Qingzhu said.
"It looks better than your usual dress." Yao Ruowei has naturally known Fu Qingzhu for a long time, but doesn't like her very much.
In her impression, Fu Qingzhu always wore dark clothes, had a dull face, and showed no enthusiasm.
She doesn't like such people, she prefers Xu Chunjun.
She is always so gentle and attentive, and is extremely considerate and considerate no matter what she says or does.
"Thank you for the compliment, County Lord." Fu Qingzhu was blessed again.
"You go in, I'm going out." Yao Ruowei said, "Bring some snacks for Chunjun when you go back, don't forget."
Fu Qingzhu agreed, and Yao Ruowei had already walked out.
Then the housekeeper came over and took Fu Qingzhu to see the King of Huaiyang.
"I heard that you were sick a few days ago." King Huaiyang was drinking tea. Although the weather was very warm now, he was still wearing the same pair of winter sleeping shoes.
Fu Qingzhu was trained to be extremely attentive, and she noticed that King Huaiyang usually wore these shoes when he was at home.
It can be seen that I like it very much.
"It's ready." Fu Qingzhu replied.
When she was ill, the housekeeper of the Huaiyang Prince's Palace once visited her.
"What's going on over there lately? Is Zheng Wuji still unwilling to touch you?" King Huaiyang asked after taking a sip of tea.
"They are still checking the accounts," Fu Qingzhu said, "but there seems to be no progress."
"Ha! I'm afraid it won't be easy to get hold of me from the books." King Huaiyang sneered and said, "Even if I ask him to investigate for another three years, it will still be in vain."
"Zheng Wuji still ignores me, do I need to do anything?" Fu Qingzhu asked.
"Let nature take its course!" King Huaiyang said, "Originally, when I sent you there, I didn't really ask you to use sex with others."
"Then I'd better listen and watch more, and I'll tell you no matter what happens." Fu Qingzhu said.
"That's natural," King Huaiyang sighed, "You should know from being around me for so many years that I am the person who least likes to start disputes.
It’s just that too many times the tree wants to be still and the wind doesn’t stop, so we have to do it as a last resort!”
The King of Huaiyang is like this. For so many years, he has always had a tolerant attitude toward the outside world.
Only those who truly know him know what a vicious person he is.
"Your Majesty, my mother's memorial day will be in a few days. I want to pay homage to her, but it's not convenient at the Zheng family." Fu Qingzhu said.
"This is easy to handle. You can go to the temple when the time comes." Before King Huaiyang could say anything, Yao Yi told her, "Isn't there a memorial tablet for your parents?"
Fu Qingzhu stopped talking.
"Is Xu Chunjun about to give birth?" King Huaiyang asked.
"There is still nearly a month." Fu Qingzhu said.
"Zheng Wuji regards Xu Chunjun as his life. If something happens to her, Zheng Wuji will be like having her heart ripped out." King Huaiyang said, "A woman has a narrow escape from death when she gives birth. Do you know what to do?"
"I tried my best, but the people over there are also very careful," Fu Qingzhu said.
Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun are not stupid, so there is no way they would not be on guard against her.
"You know I have always thought highly of you. The prince will be crowned in July this year. I have to get rid of some people who are in the way for him."
After saying these words, he looked at Fu Qingzhu again and said with concern: "Don't worry, when this matter is settled, I will fulfill my promise back then and tell you the murderer of your mother.
And we will also arrange a good home for you so that you can live the rest of your life without any worries."
"Why don't you thank the prince?" Yao Yi, the butler on the side, reminded Fu Qingzhu, "Isn't this what you have always wanted?"
】
Fu Qingzhu thanked King Huaiyang obediently as before.
Yao Yi took her out again and walked out of King Huaiyang's courtyard. Fu Qingzhu said: "Steward, when I came here just now, the county master asked me to bring some snacks back to Xu Chunjun."
"Go ahead!" Yao Yi said and touched her hand affectionately.
Fu Qingzhu felt disgust in her heart. She had been locked up with hundreds of snakes.
When the housekeeper touched her, it was like a snake crawling across her skin.
Fu Qingzhu took the snacks and went back. Xu Chunjun was sitting under the tree, sewing clothes for the child who was about to be born.
Seeing Fu Qingzhu, he smiled and said, "You came back just in time. I said that day that I would teach you how to sew."
Fu Qingzhu stepped forward and handed the work in her hands: "You are smart and can learn everything quickly. Besides, needlework is not difficult. Just pay attention to the size of the stitches and just go slower."
"I'd better practice on something else!" Fu Qingzhu declined, "These are the clothes you made for your child. Don't let me ruin them."
"It's okay, I will call you aunt when the child is born." Xu Chunjun told Fu Qingzhu that even if Fu Qingzhu becomes free in the future, they will still treat each other as sisters.
"I...I have killed people before, and my hands are not clean." Fu Qingzhu said, "It's better to say goodbye."
"Everyone has a past," Xu Chunjun said. "For example, my dear, he has been really ridiculous. But as long as you sincerely correct yourself, the past will be just the past."
Xu Chunjun was honest with her and told her that as long as she no longer worked for the King of Huaiyang, she would be free without any conditions.
Fu Qingzhu didn't have to believe her, but he had to first think about whether King Huaiyang was really trustworthy.
Fu Qingzhu knew the truth about her mother's murder, and she also knew that Xu Chunjun couldn't lie about it.
The King of Huaiyang used himself to eradicate dissidents, while Xu Chunjun only wanted to act in accordance with the law.
Moreover, Fu Qingzhu knew quite a bit about what King Huaiyang did on a daily basis.
She also knew what Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun did after arriving in Chenzhou.
In comparison, it is clear at a glance which of the two sides is righteous and which is evil.
Fu Qingzhu didn't want to be a killer all the time, otherwise the King of Huaiyang wouldn't give her freedom as a condition.
However, after so many years, he has never fulfilled it.
"You can remain anonymous and live a normal life." Xu Chunjun's voice was gentle and soft, like an elder sister comforting her younger sister, "You will also have your own children and your own home."
She put away the sword, picked up needle and thread, looked after her husband and raised her children, and lived an ordinary life.
The most ordinary days in the eyes of the world were the extravagant wishes she had been dreaming of for so many years.
"I'm afraid I can't." Fu Qingzhu still wasn't sure.
"You can." Xu Chunjun said, "I can help you escape."
Spring has arrived, and everything in the world is full of life.
It seems that everything can be reborn and everything can get better.
Fu Qingzhu picked up the needle and thread and started sewing carefully.
