Heartburn - Chapter 119

When I left three years ago, the road in Guanlan City was not so wide and the shops on the street were not so lively. One or two beggars could be seen in the shadows on the corners of the street.

Now it has a completely new look. It can be seen that the man in the throne is not incompetent.

She is also suitable for politics… When I see this scene that can be regarded as a politically connected person, I have both proud and proud in my heart, but also a kind of sadness that is destined to be abandoned for the sake of this world-no matter where I am. In the eyes of a person, I am not as important as this world.

The carriage arrived at the palace soon, and Yan Ke had already guarded the door excitedly with a group of people. She didn’t know who had leaked the wind. I wanted to surprise her. But that’s okay. If you say that the person who worried me the most in Dawu, it must be Yan Ke. Before, I didn’t appreciate it very much, but now that I think about it, I’m really too selfish.

It would be a good thing to let her know earlier and prepare happily.

“His Royal Highness has been struggling all the way. The hot water and meals are ready. Come with me soon.” She stepped forward and looked at me from head to toe with excitement. Waiting for a circle of servants, she couldn’t help but rushed forward and pulled my clothes to check and see if I was suffering and injured, right?

“Aunt Ke, don’t worry, I have been taken care of by Zen Master Kongxi. Everything is fine for this king.” My aunt who moved out of the monk specially, really taught her to relax and stop staring at me to check if I am dark, thin and haggard, but Speeding up my pace and leading me all the way to the backyard-because of the three years of life in Lingjue Zen Temple, although there is no hardship, I also pay attention to proper daily exercise, compared with three years ago. She didn’t know how much better her physique was, but she was able to keep up with Yan Ke’s footsteps effortlessly, which surprised her.

The backyard is the same as it was when I left, except that there are no more Yingying Yanyan’s servants and beauties. In the three years outside, I often told Yan Ke to reply to my letter, and I will keep these in the palace one after another. The poor people who had been lonely for half their lives were released from the house. Whether they were repatriated to their place of origin or being hugged by Pipa, each had a subsidy provided by the palace, which was enough for them to spend the rest of their lives without any worries.

I always remember that I promised to dismiss the people in the backyard and leave only one place for the person in my heart… Although this promise is no longer necessary to be fulfilled.

She wouldn’t know, and she wouldn’t care about it.

Although the backyard of the palace after a major clean-up is still not declining in popularity, after all, the fat and rice smell that floats in the air is no longer there, and even the sluggishness that I have always been suspicious and fantasizing has disappeared. It can be seen that it is truly clean.

Originally thought Yan Ke would take me to Wang Fu’s yard, because she always tried every means to match me and Wang Fu to give birth to a child, and I have always felt guilty for Wang Fu, and there are some things to do with him. Commanded, so I followed the trend-I just walked around and felt something was wrong.

Even if I haven’t been in the palace for three years, after all, I have been going back and forth many times, and I still remember the road to the courtyard where the husband lived… But this one is clearly not.

“Aunt Ke, where do you want to take this king?” After enduring for a long time, seeing that this is not the way to my sleeping quarters, Tianji Pavilion, he finally pulled Yan Ke’s sleeve and stopped and asked.

“The portrait that people sent to His Royal Highness a few days ago, His Royal Highness is satisfied? Then the little man of the Lu family was born beautiful and beautiful like a flower, and the little man of the Yun family was born as gentle as jade, handsome and graceful. Excellent aptitude and good temperament. If you can give birth to a daughter in the future, you will definitely be a dragon and a phoenix…” Yan Ke persuaded me bitterly, but his eyes dodge a little.

——I just sent away the servants in this yard, why would I bring in newcomers again?

It’s just that this strange thing is not the same: After I returned to the mansion, but I didn’t see the shadow of Wang Fu, where did he go?

I was puzzled and couldn’t help asking: “When the king returned to the mansion at the beginning, the reason should be to go to the king’s husband… Aunt Ke, but what happened?”

“His Royal Highness, don’t think about the unconventional bastard!” Yan Ke flicked his sleeves and said with an ugly expression under my repeated questioning. “His Royal Highness is absent these days, he is actually with people. With the head and tail, it is really unworthy to sit as the backyard master! If it weren’t for his reputation as the emperor master, he would have been beaten out of the palace long ago.”

“What?” I looked at Yan Ke incredulously, unable to digest the information received-according to her, Fu Ruozhen had an affair with me behind his back?

……This, no way.

“Aunt Ke said so, but there is evidence?” Although I don’t want to believe that the quiet and sensible man would do such a thing, but I also know that Yan Ke is not the kind of suspicious person who throws dirty water, she is so indignant, then This “derailment” must have another mystery.

“Although he didn’t catch it on the spot, the guards did find an outsider invaded in the royal husband’s room. The culprit also had some skills, and actually taught him to escape. But the husband’s messy temples described him as embarrassed, but he refused to reveal the identity of the other party. And the traces-the guards see this in their eyes and can’t do anything about it.” She frowned and said displeasedly.

“This can’t prove that he just… didn’t keep his husband?” At most, it was an attempted derailment… After all, there is no evidence, right?

Although I still wanted to shirk a few words for him, when Yan Ke looked bad, I stopped saying anything, but declined the two servants she wanted to force me, and went back to Tianji Pavilion to freshen up.

I took a hot bath and used food again. The whole person was refreshed. I realized the seriousness of the matter. No matter how indifferent I was to the husband before, he did his duty to be himself. Duty, you can’t come here without my summons, but you will definitely send a waiter to greet you, but when I use it to prepare to go to bed at night, there is still no movement from him. It can be seen that Yan Ke did not exaggerate: Wang Fu’s heart , Is no longer with me.

Although I already have the person I like, I don’t have such a strong anger of being betrayed by him, but I still care a little bit, and I feel relieved that I don’t need to bear his infatuation, and I am ashamed of myself for being so selfish. It all turned into worries-he has his own heart, and I will not force him.

Even if I have the intention to fulfill him, he is after all my Zhenghu who got on the jade card. Whether it is abandoning or reconciling, it is not an easy task, but also considering his reputation and where he will go in the future.

As for my own reputation, I don’t have to care about it—Kuang Xihan’s reputation is so bad, and I don’t care about such a big deal.

For today’s plan, I still discuss with him so that I can know his true thoughts before we can continue to plan the next step.

After all, I let him down, and it’s always good to be able to do something for him.

Thinking of this, I ordered the guards not to follow. I only took a small servant who led the way and went to the Wangfu’s yard in the dark. Even the little spoon who had been serving me for three years was ordered to stay in Tianji Pavilion and not be able to follow. ——This kid’s voice is too loud, if it alarms others, it will be in trouble.

“His Royal Highness? You, why are you here…” He hesitated when he saw me, which confirmed my suspicion even more.

I sighed in my heart and smiled at him: “Why, don’t you invite this king in?”

“His Royal Highness, please.” He hesitated for a moment, then stepped back and gave way.

I sent the servant to guard at the door, walked in with his hands, and swept away at random, only to see that there were more toiletry utensils in the corner, and the incense in the room was also sweet and soft, not the elegant and elegant that the king’s husband used to be. It made me a little more sure, just silently drinking the tea cup he handed over, thinking about how to speak.

Unexpectedly, I was thinking about it, but he took the initiative to kneel on the ground and bowed to me with a big gift, his forehead slammed on the floor with a dull sound, and my heart jumped with it.

“What are you doing? Get up and talk, this king… is not an unreasonable person.” I wanted to forgive him without guilt, but after thinking about it, I might as well listen to what he said first, so as not to overspeak. Also left a bit of leeway.

“The slave knows that he has lost his Highness, and he must not apologize for death. He only asks that His Highness look at the slave’s previous duty and give the slave a decent way to die. Don’t let the slave defeat the reputation of the Fu family and the Ling Wangfu.” He Gong He knocked three heads respectfully and said unhurriedly.

The eyes are calm, but there is a will to die.

“Don’t worry, this king won’t take your life, and don’t want to ruin your Fu family’s reputation.” I laughed at how he thought about it, but vaguely felt the heaviness of that plea–is this right? It shows that the identity of the person he likes is very sensitive. If it is exposed, it will surely set off a huge wave, so he has already prepared for the worst?

He is so helpless and desperate, so much like…the self back then.

“Can you tell this king who is that person?” I asked with the idea of ​​trying, but he refused silently.

“This king doesn’t force you, as long as you don’t regret it.” My relationship with him can be counted as a friend. From the standpoint of a friend, I don’t want to watch him obsessed and die, “You What are your plans in the future? If it can help, this king will never refuse.”

He was silent for a moment, then respectfully knocked his head at me, and after lying on the ground for a while, he raised his head and said with a dumb voice: “The slave will ask himself to go to the nunnery to practice and pray for your highness and the clan… I haven’t asked anyone in this life, but this time I asked your Highness to take the slaves to the palace for a dinner tomorrow, but there is something on my mind after teaching the slaves.”

——According to Dawu’s laws, men are born inferior and are not allowed to sit with women. Normally, men will not be brought to banquets on formal occasions. Even if they are honorable as a royal husband, they are not eligible to attend if they have not received special posts.

Tomorrow is the wedding banquet for Kwong Xidong to marry the three princes as the noble emperor. It is also a state banquet between Dawu and Linzhi Kingdom. Originally, the prince and husband were not among the banquets, but even though I returned to Guanlan for thousands of miles, I still hesitated whether to attend ——What can I do if I go? Now that this is the case, are you still trying to change anything?

But if you just give up like this, there is another unwillingness to entangle in my heart, and it will be difficult to heal for a long time.

Fu Ruozhen’s request was like a knock on the door, but it taught me to make up my mind: “…this king promises you.”

“His Majesty, the slave does not want to repay him, he only hopes that the next life will form a grass title ring, serve by the side, and wait for His Highness to send him.” He said joyfully.

In the face of his joy, I can only smile bitterly: “Where does this king want to reward you? Helping you is also helping myself.”

Fu Ruozhen refused to say, and I can’t speculate on my own, but he begged me so earnestly to take him to the banquet, then his sweetheart should also appear at the banquet, right?

He can be so desperate to see each other for the last time. It is also clear that this situation is not acceptable and fruitless… And what is the difference between me and him?

Probably just because: it is the pressure from the outside world that imprisons him, and what I can’t get through is the hurdle in my heart.

The ostentation for the emperor to marry a noble monarch is of course not small, and the object of marriage is the representative of the Linzhi Kingdom. It is of extraordinary significance. Looking at the bright and colorful scenery in this palace, I am afraid it is no less than the original My wedding gift.

Wearing a prince-grade auspicious costume, he walked towards the hall where the palace banquet was held with a blank expression on his face. The king’s husband followed me step by step. Because of me, no one stopped him.

I deliberately chose to enter the palace halfway through the beginning. At this time, apart from the guards guarding the door, no one else would be in the table, and there was no need to worry about teaching people to recognize it. We both entered the inner hall swaggeringly.

He bowed to me and left. I didn’t know who he was going to find and didn’t care. I just promised to pick him up after the banquet. Do your own business.

After he left, I stayed on the spot and hesitated. It happened that a young waiter passed by not far. I hurriedly stopped him and asked in a deep voice, “How is the palace banquet going?”

“The slave only knows that your majesty is incapable of alcohol, and he has already returned to the Hall of Dew to rest.” He probably didn’t know me, but he was shocked when he saw my clothing grade, so he replied respectfully.

“Your Majesty… is in the Chaolu Hall?” I licked my lips, with a slight movement-do you want to find her?

“Yes, only your Majesty is here. The noble monarch is arranged to wait for driving in Xifeng Palace.” In other words, if you want to go later, will you not see her?

——Let’s take a look. Just a glance.

Knowing that she is doing well, I can really let go and be truly relieved.

Don’t waver, don’t be soft-hearted, just look at it from a distance.

I warned myself secretly, but even I couldn’t convince…How could the imprints engraved in my heart be erased at a glance?
