After that day's confrontation, before we could figure out what Min Xilin meant, the situation in Shengjing changed again.
The prince's family and the forces of several princes began to fight against each other. The Lu family tried to suppress them, but to no avail.
The emperor did not step in to stop it, and seemed to let it go.
The emperor's mission is about to arrive in Jiangnan. Judging from the list, it includes people from several factions.
Min Xilin and Fu Siye received urgent calls from their respective families at almost the same time to leave Jiangnan.
Their identities are too sensitive, and staying here will ultimately be a disaster.
Who knows if someone from the mission will cause trouble when they come over.
Fu Jingchao is also leaving. He must appear in front of others as soon as possible and return to Beijing to take control of the situation.
The parting came unexpectedly.
The first person to leave was Fu Siye. He was used to farewells and refused to be sent far away.
Shen Xingwan and Fu Jingchao stood in front of the door and looked at him. For those who are used to marching, a horse and some dry food can be enough to hit the road. The group quickly packed up and got ready to set off.
Fu Siye came over and said goodbye to them.
He patted Fu Jingchao on the shoulder and said, "Don't get hurt. Don't make me worry. I'll go back to Beijing to see you when I'm free."
Fu Jingchao nodded, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, "You and dad take care of yourselves at the border."
Fu Siye looked at Shen Xingwan again. Although they had not been together for a long time, his image of Shen Xingwan was not bad.
In the end, Fu Siye said to her gently, "Grow up well."
Shen Xingwan smiled at him and handed him a beautiful small bottle, "This is my farewell gift to the general."
Fu Siye took it, thinking it was some kind of good medicine for healing injuries. They often received such gifts when they were on expeditions.
Shen Xingwan looked at him with bright eyes, "General, when you find it difficult and dangerous, you must carry this thing with you. It may have miraculous effects at critical moments."
Fu Siye paused, "Give me such a valuable thing?"
"General, it's worth it. General, please remember what I said today." Shen Xingwan's eyes flashed. She might never be able to mix the medicine inside. She relied on some luck and fate to get it together.
Enough medicinal materials.
Originally she wanted to keep it to herself.
She said that she is not a good person, but she admires heroes and people who care about the world. This medicine should have the best effect where it should be.
Fu Siye finally accepted some pills, and the group of people rode off in the early morning breeze.
Fu Jingchao stretched out his hand to her and said, "Gift!"
"No." Shen Xingwan said ruthlessly.
"Brothers have both, but I don't..." Fu Jingchao felt a little aggrieved, because they knew each other first.
Shen Xingwan gave the medicine to Fu Siye because if Fu Siye's death could be reversed, many things would be different.
Moreover, Fu Siye was far away at the border, so many things were uncontrollable and Shen Xingwan was powerless.
As for Fu Jingchao, Shen Xingwan thought they would meet again in the capital soon.
Fu Jingchao glanced at her and said with a cold face, "I have something for you."
Fu Jingchao spread his left hand, and there was a delicate dagger in his hand. It looked like a good knife at first glance.
"This gift of yours is quite interesting."
If possible, Fu Jingchao actually wanted to give him something else, such as a love token or something.
But he finally listened to what Du Qifeng said that day, and after meeting Mr. Xie, he learned more things that he didn't know before.
If you can't give a good promise and a stable future, it's better not to say anything.
Fu Jingchao put the dagger in Shen Xingwan's hand and closed her hand, "I give you the dagger in the hope that you can protect yourself."
See you next time, he will be stronger.
Shen Xingwan accepted the gift, raised his head and said to Fu Jingchao, "We will meet again soon."
"We will definitely meet again." Fu Jingchao held her hand.
In the end, Fu Jingchao just pinched her face and reluctantly got into the carriage.
Shen Xingwan stood under the tree in front of the door and waved to him, feeling that everything that had happened recently was like a dream.
Fu Jingchao didn't close the window until the carriage was far away and she could no longer be seen.
Hong Ling looked at her master in confusion, "Why didn't the prince say anything?"
Hong Ling's personality has always been lively and enthusiastic, and she feels that love should be expressed.
"Not yet." Fu Jingchao smiled bitterly, "I don't know if it will happen in the future."
If the Zhennan Palace cannot survive, then it is best not to implicate her.
Sometimes love means restraint.
She is still young and has unlimited possibilities to meet many people. He cannot be selfish and target her in the name of love now.
"Emotions are so complicated." Hongling blinked and said in confusion.
Qingsi reported calmly, "Your Highness, the news that you survived the fall in the fire that day and was rescued has been released."
Fu Jingchao nodded and cheered up. There was still a violent storm waiting for him in Shengjing.
He understood the emperor's temper. This time the Zhennan Palace deposed the prince and the emperor suffered such a big loss, the emperor would not just let it go.
After everyone left, Mo Beichen walked to Shen Xingwan and said, "Can't bear to part with you?"
"Not really, it's just that the separation came too soon." Shen Xingwan didn't have much expression on his face.
"Min Xilin has been investigating your affairs for the past two days. Some of the forces under your name have been exposed. Even the Shen family has been investigated," Mo Beichen said.
Shen Xingwan said helplessly, "He really thinks highly of me and actually doubts me..."
Min Xizhao has offended so many people, and on the surface, they are at least more powerful than her, with more motivation and strength than her.
Unexpectedly, Min Xilin suspected her immediately and was too keen.
Mo Beichen continued, "Fortunately, he led his people to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River and back to southern Fujian last night, otherwise things would have been troublesome."
Mo Beichen had heard a bit about Min Xilin's methods and conduct.
"Anyway, we got a chance to breathe." Shen Xingwan said with a sigh, "It can be considered as a taste of the intrigues of the imperial family. I'm still far behind!"
Mo Beichen looked at her with some distress, "Do we have to get involved? Why don't we go wander the world and enjoy the world?"
"It's too late..." Shen Xingwan smiled bitterly.
Maybe two months ago, if I asked her to quit, she would quit.
But now, there are too many people involved in this game. Xie Zhuohua is her friend, Du Qifeng has put everything on her, and people like Fu Siye cannot watch the tragedy happen indifferently...
And Fu Jingchao, the domineering prince...
He will face the darkest moment in his life, and there must always be someone by his side...
Although she is not a soft-hearted person, she is not heartless either.
After having real contact with some people and walking with them for a while, she couldn't stand by and pretended she didn't know anything.
They are no longer the missions Fat Meow talks about, nor are they the people in the book, but real, live and passionate lives!
