Your Majesty, don't spoil me too much, my daughter and I will discuss business with you

In the ancestral hall of her husband's family, Fu Qingyuan dragged his old body to preside over the Jiji ceremony for Fu Ruozhi, even Lixi watched the ceremony in person, Li Qing, Huairan, Liying, Lirong, and Liyue were all present.

"You will be an adult today." Fu Qingyuan tied Ruozhi's hair in person.

Fu Ruozhi looked at the old man with red eyes: "Grandpa, don't worry, your grandson is an adult, and he can take care of himself in the future."

"Okay, okay." Fu Qingyuan looked relieved.

Afterwards, everyone sent blessings and gifts, the most special of which was of course Lian Lixi's self-embroidered portrait given to Ruozhi. I heard that this is the embroiderer who was selected after screening the entire Dacang. The composition was also drawn by Lian Lixi It is really rare to select the most satisfactory works from hundreds of pieces, and get this fan after more than a dozen revisions.

When Zhuyue was arranging Ruozhi's clothes, she was really shocked by the workmanship: "Master, Your Majesty is very kind to you, and I also hope to meet someone who cares for me."

Ruozhi patted the other person on the head helplessly: "Why, you've only worked by my side for a few years, and you want to find a man to leave me?"

Zhuyue was embarrassed: "Master, don't make fun of me, you will always be the number one slave."

Ruozhi spoke earnestly: "I'm just joking with you, I know your loyalty, but to be honest, if you really meet a man who is attracted to you in the future, you must let me check it out. Huaxin Lang.

But I didn't expect you to stay by my side forever. When you are a few years older, I will also save some dowry for you. When the time comes, let His Majesty give you an official position or I will accept you as a righteous sister. In short, I With confidence, even if the man is not happy with you, the husband's family will look at me and His Majesty's face, and dare not neglect you. "

"Yes, master, you are the best to me." Zhuyue's eyes were reddened.

She looked at the haggard man, under the moonlight in front of the lamp, her stomach bulged slightly, unconsciously feeling uncomfortable.

"Master, this servant is not a talkative person, but you are sure that you want to give birth to a child, so you don't let His Majesty know at all?"

Ruozhi is holding her hair in a bun: "I just wanted to save him, but I never thought that a life would come suddenly. Since our mother and child are destined, let's keep it. If I can give birth alive, it means that I should not die. If I'm dead, it's good to stay in this world and leave some thoughts, but I don't want my child to be born in this royal family, it's too cruel to him, if possible, I want to keep this secret for the rest of my life."

Zhuyue is still young, she doesn't understand, since two people love each other, and the master's status is noble, why don't they deserve to give birth to royal heirs, even if the master doesn't like to enter the harem, the emperor's mansion can afford to raise them, so why make up a story to pray for the country The reason for going to that mountain temple to give birth?
"Master has his own considerations, Zhuyue has no other choice but to accompany you."

Ruozhi looked at the loyal Zhuyue, her eyes were full of admiration and envy, it was late at night, and it was time to rest earlier.

On that day, Lian Lixi still didn't hold back to see her off, but the man just stood on the tower and did not appear in front of the woman. The carriage drove away step by step, and the man's heart followed.

Memories
Lian Lixi: "How did I get rid of this poison, I want to hear the truth."

Mo Yu met those shrewd and sharp eyes, knowing that he couldn't hide it from the other party, so he blurted out the truth.

"Since she doesn't want me to know, then I don't know."

Upstairs

"Your Majesty, you have already come, why don't you greet and see you off in person, this trip will last two years?" Eunuch Xiao Jiezi is Ling Qiangqiang's apprentice, who grew up in the palace.

Lian Lixi was deeply missing and worried: "What is two years, I can wait for as many years as I want."

As soon as Ruozhi left, Gu Ranzhi sent a message to Lian Lixi: Although I don't have the heart of the king, I only wish to be with the king, keep my heart, and go smoothly for the rest of the year.

Qin Tianjian picked an auspicious day, the emperor was about to get married, the whole country applauded, and the whole Changping was even more lively.

In the Drunken Immortal Building, Li Qing was drunk again: "Why, where does Rong Hua settle down?"

Huai Ran asked him to speak softly, Li Qing waved his hands away: "Master, I am not afraid of him, if Ronghua hadn't told me not to make trouble, during the wedding, I would not open the entire Zuixianlou property! "

Huai Ran shook his head, since the last time he moved his mother clan to Changping, Ruozhi grabbed her pigtails and warned him, he dared not look down on that woman again, on the surface it seemed that Ruozhi stepped aside generously, In fact, she and His Majesty reaped all the benefits. Marrying Gu Ranzhi, on the one hand, stabilized the power of most officials in the imperial court, and on the other hand, preserved the independence of the Imperial Master's Mansion. The model can support the position of the mother of the country.

As for this Li Qing, he has been following him for so long, but he is just an idiot who can only squander the family's money. The only thing Ruozhi can use is his status as the son of the prime minister. Could Ruozhi and His Majesty want to train him as the next prime minister?It is simply a fantasy.

On the way to Jing'an Temple in a sedan chair, Ruozhi only heard a woman crying outside.

It was Zhuyue who asked again: "Auntie, what happened to you to cry so hard?"

This person is none other than Erniang. Erniang's youngest son has reached the age of schooling. Because of the gift Lian Lixi gave Ruozhi, Erniang earned a lot of money by virtue of her superb craftsmanship.

Erniang came to Dacheng for the sake of her child, and sent her to the best academy here. Unexpectedly, the day before yesterday when she picked up the child from school, there was no sign of the child. The school shirked responsibility, and the woman's ability was limited. .

"My child disappeared three days ago. The child is so young, I don't know if he was framed by gangsters!" After speaking, Erniang wept sobbingly, heart-piercing.

Ruozhi also heard the whole story in the sedan chair, she touched the place in her stomach, and heard the beating of a heart that did not belong to her stomach, she couldn't express the feeling.

"Poor parents all over the world. Auntie, don't worry. I'll ask someone to look for it. I'll let you know if I have any news."

Erniang heard the voice inside the sedan chair, looked at the decorative patterns on the sedan chair, and knew that she met a nobleman today, so she quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Thank you, thank you nobleman, as long as you can find a child for me, the bitch is willing to be an ox and a horse, wash your hands and serve as your servant."

Seeing that the woman's head was bleeding, Zhuyue quickly stopped her: "Auntie, what are you doing? My master is a kind-hearted person, and she will try her best to help if she can."

Ruozhi always felt that there was something strange at this time, so she temporarily stayed at the inn in the city and asked Miao Qing to investigate.

It’s okay if you don’t come here. It’s only when I came here that I realized that this Lucheng is very weird. The disappearance of children from Erniang’s family is not an exception. At this time of year, many children under the age of [-] disappear inexplicably. There are rumors in the city that there is such a cannibal Monsters run rampant and eat children's hearts for cultivation. The people of Lucheng believe that monsters can protect the people's lives in peace and good weather. Over the years, they have tacitly tolerated strange appearances. Everyone just dare not speak out. If their children die, they can only admit that they are unlucky .

Ruozhi listened to Miao Qing's report, and looked at the account book of the number of missing people every year.

"Heh, although I have heard that this Lucheng is very violent and evil, I didn't know that there are so many people who go missing every year."

Miao Qing said: "Master, do you believe in ghosts and gods?"

Ruo Zhiyan: "I believe that there are ghosts and gods in the world, but I believe that some people's hearts are more cruel than ghosts and gods."

Zhuyue couldn't help but said: "Master, do you suspect that there is some shady activity here?"

Ruozhi thought of something, I hope all of this is her guess, otherwise the truth of this fact may not be something she can contend with now.

"If you don't suspect it, you have to prove it. Check it out for me!"

"Yes!"
