Yun Qinghe's face was pale, and he was looking at him steadily, his eyes full of fear.

After a long moment of silence, I heard her slight voice, "I understand, I understand."

Seeing that she agreed, Yuan Chen felt relieved. Just as he was about to speak, he couldn't stop coughing.

"Your Majesty..." Yun Qinghe shed tears again and patted his back gently to comfort him.

"...It doesn't matter." Yuan Chen waved his hand, holding back the itchiness in his throat, holding her hand firmly, looking at her quietly, as if he wanted to carve her appearance into his heart.

"Qinghe..."

Yun Qinghe wiped away his tears and responded quickly, "I am here."

There was a hint of smile in Yuan Chen's eyes, and he whispered, "If there is an afterlife, I want to be with you forever and never be separated again."

Yun Qinghe bit his lower lip, tears falling, "Your Majesty..."

The two cuddled together and couldn't express their love for each other.

At 4 o'clock the next day, a carriage quietly stopped in front of the Marquis' mansion.

"Madam." Ye Ming trotted into the hall and said respectfully, "Mr. Zhu Ge is here."

Fang Xu was surprised when he heard who the person was. He sat up straight and asked softly, "Mr. Zhu Ge?"

Ye Ming nodded and whispered, "Yun Heng came with a letter. I immediately went out to have a look. It is indeed Mr. Zhu Ge."

Fang Xu frowned slightly and said in a lower voice, "Please come quickly."

"Yes."

Ye Ming turned around and ran out, leaving Fang Xu and Su Zi staring at each other in the room.

Not long after, a dark shadow flashed outside the door, and Fang Xu slowly stood up and headed outside.

Mr. Zhu was dressed in regular robes, holding a dragon-headed crutch in his hand, walking slowly, and staring at Fang Xu with his turbid eyes, showing no emotion.

Fang Xu walked up to him, knelt down and saluted, and said softly, "I wish you the best to come in person. I am unable to welcome you from afar, so please don't blame me."

"It doesn't matter." Mr. Zhu cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Yong'an County, can you go to a secluded place to talk?"

Fang Xu raised his eyes and couldn't guess what Mr. Zhu's plan was, so he had to turn sideways and make way, "Please, Mr. Ge, move to the lobby."

Mr. Zhu nodded and walked forward with his cane.

Fang Xu followed him, thinking about something in his mind.

Entering the hall, Fang Xu reached out his hand and said softly, "Mr. Ge, please take a seat."

I wish the old man to be polite and take the main seat.

Fang Xu sat next to him, with a sandalwood table between them.

Su Zi was holding a tray with two cups of tea on it, and carefully placed them next to their hands.

Mr. Zhu has been staring at the ground and keeping silent since he sat down.

The atmosphere was tense, Fang Xu raised his smile and started talking, "It's unlucky for Mr. Ge to come here today. My son is still in the palace and hasn't returned home yet. Mr. Ge is afraid..."

"I'm not looking for Xie Li, only you."

Mr. Zhu interrupted her, his tone showed no emotion or anger, and there was no unnecessary expression on his face. The smile on Fang Xu's lips froze, he hesitated again and again, and finally asked, "I wonder why Mr. Ge is looking for my concubine?"

"Mrs. Yongan County, this is not the first time I have met you. I have often heard about your deeds from the Queen Mother." Mr. Zhu paused, with a smile on his face, "I heard that Mrs. Yongan County is smart, capable and courageous. I also want to get acquainted with such a legendary woman."

The expression on Fang Xu's face became a little subtle, but he smiled without saying a word.

They were both foxes for thousands of years, how could Fang Xu not tell that the old man was deliberately supporting her?
Fang Xu lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, and said softly, "Lao Ge, I am very frightened. I am only a little clever, but I can't say that I am a capable person."

After being beaten back after being sent out, Mr. Zhu was not annoyed. He stroked his gray beard and said in a low voice, "On the day of the mutiny in the palace, your palace worked hard to save the queen mother and the emperor. I am not ungrateful." I wish the Zhu family will always owe you a great favor."

Fang Xu pursed his lips, smiling and doing Tai Chi with him, "Mr. Ge was joking. It is the duty of a minister to serve the country. How can we talk about human relations?"

Seeing that Fang Xu was also a fox, Mr. Zhu's face changed slightly and he stopped beating around the bush, "I'm here today, and I do have an unkind invitation."

The smile on Fang Xu's lips deepened, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

This arrogant old man is finally willing to speak frankly.

Fang Xu looked at him and didn't say too much, "Elder Ge, just tell me what you have to say. If I can help, I will do my best."

"As Mr. Ge said, the Queen Mother and I are good friends. For the sake of the Queen Mother, I can't refute Mr. Ge's face."

Mr. Zhu paused, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and said in a deep voice, "I wonder if Xie Li has ever mentioned it to his family..."

When the words came up, Fang Xu raised his eyebrows, his tone full of temptation, "You always want to say... that the capital has lost two noble people?"

Seeing her speak, Mr. Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slowly, "It seems that Xie Li and you have gotten along."

Fang Xu kept an eye on it and took Xie Li out, "I only heard a few things about it. My son only told me not to go out on the street. I didn't say much about the details."

Mr. Zhu was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I came here today to ask you something. Whether this matter is big or small, it's up to you to judge for yourself."

Fang Xu became interested, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does the elder want?"

Zhuge Lao stared at her and said word by word, "I hope you can take the Queen Mother and the Queen out of the palace safely, settle down for some time, and avoid the limelight."

Fang Xu's breath froze, and he couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

God... actually let me go to the palace to steal the master!

"Take them out of the palace?" Fang Xu took a long time to find his voice and murmured, "How can I take the two masters out of the palace without anyone noticing?"

Mr. Zhu lowered his head and sighed, "Now the capital is in chaos and the palace is in trouble. There might be rebels planted somewhere, so we don't dare to act rashly, so we have to ask for your help."

After finishing his words, Mr. Zhu stood up slowly and bowed towards Fang Xu.

The old man who was over seventy years old bowed to him. He dared to do this salute, so he dared not accept it.

"Mr. Ge..." Fang Xu quickly stood up and held his arm, with a look of fear on his face, "You are hurting me by turning yourself into a concubine at your age."

Mr. Zhu lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I am incompetent and cannot protect my daughter, so I have no choice but to beg you shamelessly. Please accept me for the sake of your friendship with the Queen Mother."

Fang Xu hesitated for a moment when he stretched out his hand, with some hesitation on his face.

Mr. Zhu thought that she was unwilling to help, so he swayed, and his tone was almost pleading, "Mrs. Yong'an County, I have no son, and I only have such a daughter on my knees. I can't just watch something happen to her."

"What I did today is indeed my presumption, but...I really have no choice..." (End of Chapter)
