Chu Dingkun was about to have a fit when he heard him say, "Your Majesty, King Yong'an, King Yong'an is now at the Prime Minister's Mansion, discussing matters with Prime Minister Qiao!"
"What!"
When Chu Dingkun heard this, he slammed the table and quickly stood up. His mind went blank again. He couldn't help but shook his body and fell down on the chair.
All that was left in my heart was panic.
"how so?"
Didn’t it mean that Fu Youan was still unconscious?
How could he appear in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
"It's true." The chamberlain knelt on the ground and said in a panic.
He has been following the emperor these days and has offended Fu Youan a lot. Now that Fu Youan is in good health, he, he...
The chamberlain swallowed his saliva and was afraid to think about his own fate.
Chu Dingkun covered his chest and felt a little difficult to breathe, "How can he be fine?"
Xia Xun, who was waiting nearby, also turned pale when he heard this.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to ask these questions. I am afraid that the courtiers should also know that Fu Youan is in good health. We must quickly clean up the palace now."
If otherwise the deserted Yong'an Palace was seen by the courtiers, both the people and the courtiers would probably complain against Chu Dingkun.
Fu Youan has guarded the border for more than ten years, and his reputation in Beirong is really great.
Chu Dingkun gritted his teeth when he heard this.
After a long while, he suppressed his emotions and said, "You go and deal with it."
"Yes." Xia Xun accepted the order and quickly went out.
At this time, Qiao Chen, who was recuperating in the mansion, saw the pale Fu Youan, and inevitably felt a heavy feeling of sadness in his heart.
He vaguely guessed that something happened to Fu Youan, but he never thought that Chu Dingkun could do it so well.
"What are you going to do?"
Qiao Chen asked with a frown.
He asked Fu Youan, but his eyes inevitably stayed on Shen Jiao for a moment.
Unexpectedly, the person Chu Dingkun gave to Fu Youan turned out to be Fu Youan's chance of survival.
Seriously, every drink and every peck is destiny!
Fu Youan looked indifferent, "The late emperor was kind to me. Before he died, I promised to protect Beirong, but I am not a foolish and loyal person, let alone..."
Before he finished speaking, Qiao Chen had already understood in his heart. However, he did not respond directly. He just held the tea cup and lowered his eyes slightly.
Both he and Fu You'an understood that there were only two roads before them now, either to be killed by Chu Dingkun, or to give it a try and find a good future.
Shen Jiao leaned lightly on Fu Youan's shoulder out of boredom.
Half of Fu Youan's body suddenly became numb.
He glanced at Qiao Chen who was deep in thought, nudged her, and whispered: "Don't touch her if you're not polite."
Shen Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly and did not shy away from the people around her, "The late emperor had a bad vision and left a loser to succeed him. This loser is not willing to be a loser, huh~"
Before she could finish her words, Fu Youan carefully covered her mouth.
After hearing her words, Qiao Chen also twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Shen Jiao for a while, "The princess's temperament is... pure."
Although he and Fu You'an did feel that Chu Dingkun was not worthy of publicity, it didn't mean that he was a waste for being able to scold someone so straightforwardly, right?
After all, he is still the current emperor.
Fu Youan curled his lips and said, "She has an upright temperament."
Qiao Chen didn't care and sighed softly, "How is your health now?"
"If you take care of it, it won't be a big deal."
Fu Youan responded.
Qiao Chen was silent again.
The idea of loyalty to the emperor had been rooted in his mind for many years, and he had taught Chu Dingkun, so he always felt that Chu Dingkun would not be so ruthless to his teacher.
In addition, the late emperor took great care of him, and his sincere words of care for his orphan before his death echoed in his ears.
It was really difficult for him to make a decision.
Shen Jiao narrowed her eyes when she saw this, and asked again, "I heard that the youngest daughter in Prime Minister Qiao's residence is only eight years old."
Qiao Chen nodded slightly.
Shen Jiao raised her hand and touched her temples lightly, "My cousin is only eight years old this year. I don't know which monastery she has entered and how much training she has received. If she meets those people who like to humiliate others, I'm afraid she will It won’t last a year.”
If something happens to Qiao Chen, according to Chu Dingkun's methods, Qiao Chen's young daughter will most likely end up in a religious school and be trampled on by others.
Qiao Chen naturally understood this, and his face became increasingly ugly.
Fu Youan didn't have to force Qiao Chen to make a decision. He just came to show the court and the people that he was still alive and well.
As long as everyone knows that he is good, Chu Dingkun will not dare to attack him blatantly again.
Fu Youan and Qiao Chen exchanged two or three off-topic remarks, then led Shen Jiao back.
Shen Jiao pinched the back of his hand and complained softly, "I think Qiao Chen can't carry it either."
"He just wanted the best of both worlds."
"There are so many good things in the world that have the best of both worlds."
Shen Jiao sneered disdainfully, "I read too many books, and I really made my brain stupid."
Fu Youan:......
He looked at Shen Jiao with a subtle expression, "What did Shen Fu teach you when you were at home?"
How come anyone dares to curse?
First she called Chu Dingkun a waste, and now she called Qiao Chen stupid. The emperor and the prime minister were nothing in her mouth. She was really bold.
Shen Jiao curled her lips slightly, "I just learned two books, it's nothing."
Fu Youan naturally didn't believe this.
But she didn't want to say it, so Fu Youan didn't ask any further questions. He just held the horse seriously and walked beside her.
The streets were very lively with people coming and going. From time to time, children would run away laughing and making noise, their hands turning red from the cold wind, and their faces turning red from the heat as they ran.
Fu Youan turned his head to look at Shen Jiao.
I saw that Shen Jiao was clean and tidy, with only a hairpin on her head. She looked very plain.
He suddenly felt a little weak in his heart, "I remember there are some hairpins in the house, which I collected during the war... Well, I collected them. You can pick them out later."
Shen Jiao gave him a cute look, "Why are you collecting those?"
"In the past, I only looked at value."
But now I feel like I did the right thing.
Fu Youan thought.
The two of them led the horses and walked slowly on the road, but the Yong'an Prince's Palace and the Prime Minister's Palace were really not far apart, and they arrived in a short time.
When the two of them arrived at the gate of the palace, the originally dilapidated and abandoned Yong'an Palace had changed drastically.
The flowers and plants were carefully pruned, and dead branches and leaves were swept away, making everything look full of vitality.
Shen Jiao pinched Fu Youan's fingers lightly and said with an extremely sarcastic smile: "Look at our emperor, he is really knowledgeable."
"He wants a name."
Chu Dingkun valued his reputation very much and did not want to leave a bad reputation for treating his heroes harshly.
Fu Youan went to Qiao Chen so openly because he knew that Chu Dingkun would not dare to touch him openly.
Now the servants and maids in the courtyard are all well-behaved and obedient. When people come, they all greet each other and say, "I have met the prince and the princess."
Shen Jiao couldn't help but sneer when she saw this.
This treatment is completely different from before.
Fu Youan's footsteps did not stop at all, and he led Shen Jiao into the house.
Zhao Xu was already waiting for him with a bunch of things.
"You go down and have a rest first." Fu Youan said softly.
Shen Jiao nodded and left without making any fuss about staying.
