Chapter 247 So Far Away, I'm Afraid I'll Eat You

"I'll ask Steward Si to take you for a walk." Fu Zhenzhen took a few steps back and stood at a safe distance, always remembering Su Wan's words that getting close to him would lead to pregnancy.

Zhao Tuo noticed her small movements, and said very amusedly: "Why does Miss Zhenzhen avoid me like a snake and a scorpion?"

"No, I didn't avoid you." Fu Zhenzhen denied.

When Zhao Tuo heard this, he smiled, "No? Then why are you so far away from me?"

Fu Zhenzhen looked at the distance between the two, and it was indeed a bit far away, but it seemed that she was very deliberate.

Thinking about it, she had no choice but to take a small step forward.

Seeing this, Zhao Tuo smiled, "Miss Zhenzhen can come closer."

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhenzhen immediately shook her head, "No way."

Zhao Tuo frowned, "Why not, I won't eat you again."

"There is a difference between men and women, and people will gossip." Fu Zhenzhen shook her head and said.

Zhao Tuo was amused by her serious appearance, "We didn't do anything, how could people gossip?"

"How do I know this? Mouths are on other people's faces, and they can say whatever they want," Fu Zhenzhen said.

"Why do you care about reputation?" Zhao Tuo asked.

"Your Highness doesn't care?" Fu Zhenzhen asked strangely.

Zhao Tuo hesitated for a while, and said indifferently, "I don't care."

"Oh." Fu Zhenzhen nodded.She knew that the prince's reputation was not very good, so he naturally didn't care.

Zhao Tuo paused and asked, "How is Xiang Fu's injury?"

"Didn't you go to see my brother, don't you know?" Fu Zhenzhen asked, and when she mentioned this, she suddenly became worried, "My brother came back last night covered in blood, and the butler Si gave him a diagnosis and treatment, but today he still hasn't improved , I don’t know what to do.”

Seeing that she didn't look like a fake, Zhao Tuo couldn't help feeling a little hesitant.

Could it be that he had misunderstood, that Fu Xiang's injury was really serious?
Thinking about it, he said with relief: "It will be fine, don't worry too much, the imperial doctor said, as long as Fu Xiang rests for a while, he will improve."

Fu Zhenzhen nodded in disbelief, "I hope so."

Seeing her like this, Zhao Tuo couldn't help taking two steps closer, reaching out to touch her head.

Unexpectedly, this girl, who seemed to have eyes on the top of her head, immediately noticed it, and took two steps to the side.

Zhao Tuo: "..."

"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, I will excuse you. I have to go and see my brother." Fu Zhenzhen said.

Zhao Tuo said helplessly, "Okay, you can go."

Fu Zhenzhen glanced at him and left directly.

Zhao Tuo paused, did not stop any longer, and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Fu Zhenzhen hid behind the tree. Seeing him go, she was relieved and hurried to Lan Yuan.

Besides, after King Yin left Xiangfu, he separated from King Duan.

Walking to a secluded place, he turned his head and asked the Imperial Physician Chen behind him, "Did you get a clear diagnosis just now?"

Chen imperial physician nodded, "The old minister's diagnosis is very clear. Fu Xiang's pulse condition is disordered, which is a sign of serious injury. I'm afraid he won't recover."

Regarding his medical skills, King Yin could still trust him. Hearing this, he felt relieved, "That's good."

It was worthwhile to lose Eunuch Zheng this time.

Without Fu Jingchen getting in the way, the Emperor of Dayan must belong to him.

He suddenly felt happy.

I really want to tell my second brother the good news immediately.

And he no longer has to worry about whether to kill Su Shi.

King Yin walked briskly back to Prince Yin's mansion.

At this time, Fu Zhenzhen met Zhao Tuo in the garden, asked about Fu Jingchen's injury, and told Fu Jingchen and Su Wan.

"...Did King Rui suspect something?"

Su Wan asked: "Then what did you tell King Rui?"

Fu Zhenzhen said: "The steward Si told me and my mother that we should not leave the house for a few days. When people asked about my brother's injury, they said it was serious. I just told King Rui that my brother's injury is very serious."

"You did a good job." Fu Jingchen praised.

Having received her brother's praise, Fu Zhenzhen felt a little sweet in her heart.

But thinking of one thing, she said with some confusion: "Then Chinese New Year, can't we go out?"

"It's okay, you can go out if you want, you already know what I want to know." Fu Jingchen said softly.

Fu Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and said excitedly: "Xueqin invited me to go to Yuelao Temple on the first day of the new year yesterday. I thought I was going to miss the appointment. Now it's all right, I can go."

"Yue Lao Temple?" Fu Jingchen looked at her in surprise.

Seeing this, Fu Zhenzhen blushed and got up hastily, "We just went for a walk, not seeking marriage..."

After finishing speaking, she ran away annoyed.

Su Wan shook her head amusedly.

Fu Jingchen suddenly sighed, "Unknowingly, Zhenzhen has reached the age to get married. There are too many things these days, I forgot to ask Gu Xiao to help find out about the prince."

"The Chinese New Year is already around the corner, and it's not too late to talk about it after the New Year. You have been tossing around for so long, you should lie down and sleep." Su Wan said softly.

"Okay." Fu Jingchen lay down as promised.

In the afternoon, Gu Guogong heard the news and rushed to the prime minister's mansion to visit Fu Jingchen.

Mrs. Wang was in Su Wan's room, talking to Fu Jingchen and Su Wan. After hearing Si Xian's report, she subconsciously hid behind the screen.

After Gu Guogong came in, he saw a faint figure behind the screen.

He paused, his eyes a little sad.

Is that why Wang doesn't want to see him so much?

He sighed secretly, walked to the bed, looked at Fu Jingchen, frowned and asked, "How is your injury?"

Fu Jingchen said lightly: "Thank you, Duke, for your concern. My injury is no longer serious."

"Really?" Gu Guogong asked worriedly. Before he came, he heard that he was seriously injured and feared that he might not recover, which shocked him.

"En." Fu Jingchen nodded.

Seeing his appearance, Gu Guogong didn't seem to be lying, so he felt relieved, "That's good. Do you know who assassinated you?"

Fu Jingchen shook his head, "I don't know."

Gu Guogong was very worried when he heard the words, "Be more careful next time."

"I know." Fu Jingchen nodded, his attitude still distant.

Seeing this, Gu Guogong felt a little frustrated, "Then you... rest well, I'll go first."

"Okay." Fu Jingchen replied.

When Gu Guogong was leaving, he glanced at the direction of the screen, his gaze dimmed, and he finally turned and left.

Su Wan looked at the back of him leaving lonely, and sometimes sympathized with him.

But compared to the hardships of the Wang family, I don't think there is anything pitiful about Gu Guogong.

He just couldn't be accepted by Fu Jingchen and Wang's. He was still surrounded by wives and concubines and children.

At this time, Wang came out from behind the screen, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "I won't disturb Ah Chen to rest, I'll go back first."

"I'll see you off." Su Wan said.

"No, you take care of Ah Chen, I'll just go back by myself," Wang said.

"Alright then." Su Wan didn't force it, knowing that she probably wanted to be quiet at the moment.
