Chapter 195
Fu Jiuqu smiled softly, moved closer, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Why are you so sure?"

He suspected that this was not the first time for Xin Yi.

Xin Yi understood, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "I'm a doctor."

Fu Jiuqu lowered his head, stared at her plain smiling face, and it took a while for a smile to escape from his throat.

"That's why I'm worrying too much."

Xin Yi bowed slightly, "I didn't mean that. The king of the county passed by here at night and didn't forget to remind me of the danger. I am very grateful."

She looked at Fu Jiuqu at the same level, hesitated and said: "But I'm a little curious, if the imperial concubine really doesn't wake up, will the officials blame me for it? I don't think the officials are such indiscriminate people, Jun What is the king worried about?"

Fu Jiuqu stood quietly, as if he didn't want to say anything bad about his uncle, but there was an imperceptible glint in his eyes.

"Even if he has no intention of venting his anger, he is afraid of being provoked by someone with a heart."

Xin Yi looked into his deep eyes, and slightly curled his lips.

"Let me ask something that shouldn't be asked. Who is it that provoked pigs at the Silkworm Kissing Ceremony?"

"Haven't you heard?"

"It's been rumored in the palace that it's Miss Cao. Why do I think it's not credible?"

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows, "You think it's not her?"

Xin Yi shook her head, "She resents me, but she won't spoil her aunt's silkworm kissing ceremony regardless of the occasion. If she doesn't even have this kind of overall view, then the Cao family may not tolerate her."

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows slightly, "You are the first person to speak for her."

"..."

Xin Yi was just talking about the matter, and he didn't bother to make trouble at such a time, especially when the other party was Cao Yilan, the future princess of the county.She felt that it was very impolite to mention her in front of Fu Jiuqu, so she immediately took a step back.

"Thanks to the county king for taking care of San Nian today, I was so busy that I couldn't take care of her. I will thank the county king after this matter is over."

"How do you thank me?" Fu Jiuqu asked Xin Yi with deep eyes.

Her words were originally polite words, and most people would not take them seriously.

"The king of the county..." She wanted to say something, but before she could say it, she couldn't help laughing, "The only thing I can do to repay the king of the county is to study medicine well and treat the king of the county. Otherwise, if I want to repay, I have no power. "

She stood a few steps away from Fu Jiuqu, her eyes slightly lowered, as if she didn't want to meet his eyes.

Fu Jiuqu frowned, disliking such alienation very much.

"Are you afraid of me?"

"No."

"Then I'm a scourge? Come closer and talk!"

Xin Yi raised his eyes quickly, flustered like a thief.

"Jun Wang, in the middle of the night, lonely men and widows may cause gossip."

With serious eyes, Fu Jiuqu slowly walked in front of her and stopped.

"You really don't want to have anything to do with me? Having an affair with me makes you so afraid and disliked?"

"..."

It was the first time Fu Jiuqu uttered the word "privacy". Xin Yi felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, and his heart beat for a while, and he replied quickly and anxiously.

"Of course. The king of the county is a nobleman, so naturally he is not afraid of other people's gossip. But as a commoner, I am most afraid of this kind of soft knife... spit stars can kill people, although I am more skinny than Miss Cao. The rough meat is thicker, but if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't last a few times..."

Fu Jiuqu's eyebrows were slightly cold.

Stare at her, stare at her without blinking.

It's been so long that he seems to have forgotten to look away.

Xin Yi's heart beat fast, he smiled slightly, and saluted Fu Jiuqu again.

"I'm off to work. The deeper the dew is, the county king should go back to rest earlier."

Fu Jiuqu didn't speak, or hummed.

Xin Yi paused for a moment, then slowly passed him, walking towards the long corridor behind Fu Jiuqu.

Fu Jiuqu didn't turn around, didn't move, the surrounding was so quiet that there was no wind at all, Xin Yi felt that there was a momentary blank in her mind, as if there was a strange force controlling her steps, she walked very slowly...

After an unknown amount of time, she thought that Fu Jiuqu had gone far away, but when she came back to her senses, she realized that he was not far behind her.

Wind cloak and sleeves, footsteps slowly.

Keeping her proper distance, but not too far away from her.

What is Fu Jiuqu doing?
Afraid that she would be in danger, did you come here to protect her?
Xin Yi's heart beat faster inexplicably, her chest seemed to be filled with something, and the joy that suddenly surged in her heart hit her throat like a runaway wild horse, making her ears warm, her cheeks hot, and even her footsteps felt strange. Lighten up.

But there are so many people in the palace here, people will pay attention when they come and go, she doesn't want to cause trouble, and she dare not turn around to ask Fu Jiuqu, so she immediately quickened her pace and walked into the gate of the palace in a few steps, like a ghost chasing her.

After a while, a servant's voice came from behind.

"I have seen the King of Guangling County."

"Is the official house closed?"

"The official is waiting for you inside."

"Ah."

Xin Yi's tense nerves were suddenly released, and when he looked back, he saw only a corner of Fu Jiuqu's cloak, his face was so red that he was almost on fire.

Pooh!
Selfish.

People are really just passing by.

He didn't come here to protect her.

It's really just on the way.

Fortunately, others can't see the thoughts in his heart, otherwise, Xin Yi would feel ashamed to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

For some reason these days, she may have had too much contact with Fu Jiuqu, and because of those ambiguous rumors, she sometimes had the illusion that Fu Jiuqu treated her differently from others, could it be like her……

Looking back now, she really wanted to slap herself twice.

How can you make such a low-level mistake?
Fu Jiuqu's character was designed as a ruthless, cold-blooded animal. She actually thought he would take care of him and stay with him late at night?

Speaking out, I'm afraid I'm going to laugh people's big teeth off.

~

Fu Jiuqu watched the slender figure disappear from his eyes, his face darkened quickly, he shook his sleeves slightly, and went to the side hall under the guidance of the servant.

The incense was wafting, and Zhao Guanjia was sitting there drinking tea with displeased faces. When he saw Fu Jiuqu coming in slowly, he frowned slightly and put down the teacup.

"If you don't go back to sleep in the middle of the night, why go to the palace to find me?"

Fu Jiuqu bowed his hands in salute, and smiled lightly.

"The imperial concubine has not recovered from her injury, and I guess that the official must be restless tonight, unable to sleep, so I specially asked my mother to come to have a hand-to-hand chat with the official, gossip about family matters..."

"Accompany me?" Zhao Zhen glanced at him and snorted, "You can coax your mother with your words."

Fu Jiuqu smiled but did not answer.

Zhao Zhen motioned to the servant, "Give me a seat."

Fu Jiuqu: "Isn't uncle willing to have a conversation with nephew?"

Zhao Zhen frowned and looked at him for a moment, pursed his lips slightly, and waved his hands. The servant quickly set up the chessboard, and then retreated silently.

There was no one else in the room, and the nephew and uncle sat facing each other.

The situation on the chessboard changed, and neither of them spoke.

After a while, Zhao Zhen raised his eyes to look at Fu Jiuqu, who had a gloomy face.

"Although you are not a son of the Heavenly family, you are also a member of the royal family, my only nephew, and countless people stare at your words and deeds. Your face is my face..."

Fu Jiuqu lifted his eyelids, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

"Where did the nephew make the uncle lose face?"

Zhao Zhen looked at him with his lips pursed, there was no smile on his face, and his voice was a little low, with a vague sense of reproach.

"Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts. Are you afraid that I will blame your little lady Zhang? What did you say that you are afraid that I will be disturbed and come to accompany me? Humph! You, you have read so many sage books in vain , Now there is no sense of propriety. The dignified county king allows the gossip to spread all over the capital, but does nothing. What do you think you are at ease?"

A white chess piece was tossed between Fu Jiuqu's fingers.

"Uncle has been worrying too much. Since he passed away, my sister-in-law is alone with three children. She is in a difficult situation. My nephew is just helping out and helping if he can. I dare not have extra thoughts. Rumors are limited to wise men, but nephew is not. No action, just don't want to paint more and more black..."

"Snapped!"

A sunspot fell heavily on the chessboard, and Zhao Zhen looked up at him.

"Ask yourself, do these words come from your heart? Tonight it's just you and me. Uncle will give you a chance to show your heart..."

Fu Jiuqu was silent.

There was silence all around.

After a while, Fu Jiuqu got up slowly, opened the chair and bowed to Zhao Zhen.

"A man promises a thousand gold. I swore in front of Xingyuan that I would take good care of his wife and children. How could I do such a thing that is inferior to pigs and dogs? I called her sister-in-law, so she was my own sister-in-law."

Zhao Zhen stared at him.

For a moment, he sighed faintly.

"Fool, what are you hiding?"

Fu Jiuqu's eyes drooped slightly, "Not at all."

Zhao Zhen stared at him: "Then I will ask you again, but are you willing to marry the eldest daughter of the Cao family?"

Fu Jiuqu didn't raise his head, he paused for a moment, and then answered him with a low voice.

"Will be willing."

Before the voice fell, the servant's low voice came from outside.

"Officials—"

Zhao Zhen glanced at him, "What's the matter?"

The servant glanced at Fu Jiuqu, and seemed to hesitate to speak.

"Madam Cao's Mansion entered the palace late at night, asking to see the saint."

Zhao Zhen frowned, and his tone was slightly dissatisfied, "Are you here to visit a doctor? Huh, it's all over, can you really think that my inner palace is his back garden?"

"No, it's not." The servant's gaze was always on Fu Jiuqu's body, and then he walked to Zhao Zhen's side and said in a low voice as if biting his ear: "My little one heard that it's Miss Cao... who wants to retire. Ma'am For some reason, he actually agreed, and rushed into the palace to discuss with the saint."

Fu Jiuqu's eyes darkened slightly.

The relationship between the emperor and empress has always been delicate. It is not surprising that the official family has spies by the side of Empress Cao, just as it is not surprising that Empress Cao has spies by the side of the official family.

But why did the Cao family enter the palace at night to discuss the marriage contract?
What's going on here?
 Today, in order to watch the top-class plane in the universe, I wrote very slowly, and I was still restless...

  Chapter 2 has been written, but I think the status is a bit wrong, and I plan to change it again.

  Tomorrow at least [-] updates~~ make up for it!
