Chapter 188 Dangerous move
Concern leads to chaos.

This time, Fu Rudi finally understood the meaning of these four words.

Before Fu Jiao disappeared, he had always thought that he was calm and self-possessed, and could remain calm in any situation.

However, Fu Jiao has been missing for half a month.

His heart seemed to have been hollowed out, and the howling cold wind was pouring in. The pain in his heart became more severe every time, and the cold reached his bones.

Fu Rudi immediately went to see King Guangping.

These days, he was looking for Fu Jiao everywhere, and King Guangping was taking care of all the affairs in the government office. King Guangping was usually such a laid-back person, but this time he was very energetic and concentrated on official duties.

Seeing Fu Rudi coming, he thought he had found Fu Jiao.

"Did you find your sister?"

"Not yet."

Fu Rudi shook his head bitterly.

"Hey."

King Guangping had no choice but to comfort him, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Fu Jiao is an expert, and an expert is a lucky person. She must be safe and sound." After saying that, seeing that Fu Rudi's face did not improve, Guang Prince Ping clasped his hands helplessly, rubbed his chubby fingers and asked, "Then you go ahead and look for me. I am in the capital and I can handle it."

It stands to reason that Fu Rudi, who left Beijing without permission and did not ask about government affairs, can really be included in a play.

If Emperor Jianming really blamed him, Fu Rudi might be dismissed.

But King Guangping took care of everything for him, allowing him to go to Fu Jiao with confidence and boldness. He would be responsible for everything in the government office.

He patted his round belly and said, "The Emperor is ill and has not had time to take care of you recently. You can just go look for Fu Jiao again."

Fu Rudi was naturally very grateful.

He struggled for a moment and said what he was thinking: "My lord, you know Fu Jiao's ability. It is precisely because of her special ability that she was targeted by Concubine Jing. I am looking for him aimlessly like this." , I may not be able to find her whereabouts even if I look for a month or two, so I boldly want to enter the palace and ask Concubine Jing directly. "

King Guangping was stunned.

"I'm afraid Concubine Jing won't tell you."

"As long as I can see Concubine Jing, I will have my own way to let her know."

King Guangping stared at him slightly suspiciously, "Are you so sure?"

"Ah."

Fu Rudi was afraid that King Guangping would see through his true thoughts, so he made up random things: "I had a fight with the Five Ghosts of Yan Sheng before, and had a brief contact with Concubine Jing. She is a reasonable person, and with Princess Zhaofu as a lobbyist, she moved With love and reason, Concubine Jing will definitely understand how I miss and worry about my sister."

King Guangping thought the same thing.

His chubby brain seemed to be unable to turn around. He would believe whatever Fu Rudi said.

"Fu Jiao is kind to me. If she hadn't uncovered the prince's secrets, he would have become a water ghost in Cuiwei Lake. I will do my best to help you, both emotionally and rationally."

King Guangping knew clearly Fu Rudi's intention in coming to ask him.

Fu Rudi is a foreign minister. How can a foreign minister see the concubine privately in the palace?
Therefore, King Guangping took off the identity token from his waist, waved his hand and said: "Take it, just say that I have found a beauty powder for the emperor's sister-in-law, and those palace officials will not stop it."

Fu Rudi was surprised and happy.

He looked at King Guangping in disbelief, not daring to think that King Guangping would be willing to help him to this extent.

If the emperor pursues the case, King Guangping will be blamed!

"My lord, your great kindness will be unforgettable to me."

"Don't say that."

King Guangping sighed, "You and I have been working together for so many years. Don't I still understand your character? You don't have to worry about implicating me. I will naturally find a way to clean myself up."

"My lord, I will never harm you."

Fu Rudi didn't want to implicate anyone.

He has already made plans. If things come true, everything will go smoothly; otherwise, he will fight everything alone. Even the identity token lent to him by King Guangping can be said to have been stolen by himself and has nothing to do with King Guangping or anyone else.

With King Guangping's token, it would be much easier for Fu Rudi to enter the palace.

He lied that King Guangping had ordered him to pay tribute to Concubine Jing, a rare and precious thing in the world, "Beauty Girl Powder". Because this item is too valuable, it must be delivered in person.

The guards outside the palace gate had seen King Guangping's identity token, and Fu Rudi was the emperor's favorite, so they had no doubt that he was there, so they quickly sent someone to spread the word.

at this time.

Concubine Jing was very worried about Princess Zhaofu.

The maids beside her felt sorry for her that she had become haggard recently, and they all hoped that she could eat more food.

A palace maid who was dressing up even pulled out a white hair from Concubine Jing's head and said with a tearful voice: "My Lady, you should take good care of your body during these times. Even if it is not for yourself, you must do it for the princess." . As time goes by, she will definitely understand your good intentions."

It’s better not to say this.

As soon as she mentioned this, Concubine Jing sighed, looking at the white hair in great pain.

"If she really understood my intentions, she wouldn't be like this." Concubine Jing stared at her white hair, and then took a look at her appearance in the mirror. It was true that she had aged a lot in just a few days.

How could such an appearance not make her anxious?

At the right time, the palace attendant outside the door came to report that King Guangping had obtained a box of extremely precious beauty powder, and he came here to present it to Concubine Jing.

King Guangping is a cheerful person, and he usually has a good relationship with Concubine Jing. Looking at the Sixth Palace, there is no queen. Emperor Jianming only dotes on Concubine Jing, and the other concubines cannot be regarded as the royal wives of King Guangping.

Therefore, Concubine Jing was not suspicious.

She was worried about the vicissitudes of her appearance, and couldn't help but smile: "King Guangping is here by chance. Please invite him over quickly."

Concubine Jing mistakenly thought that the person coming was King Guangping.

The palace servant was only focused on passing on the news, and forgot to tell Concubine Jing that the person who came to deliver the beauty powder was not King Guangping himself, but one of his subordinates.

By coincidence, Fu Rudi entered the harem smoothly.

Because of Zhao Yuyi, Concubine Jing sent all the capable palace eunuchs around her to the side hall to guard Zhao Yuyi. Zhao Yuyi has a spontaneous nature and will slip away if she is not careful. Concubine Jing must guard her closely.

As a result, the guards in her main hall were relaxed.

Fu Rudi lowered his head and followed the palace maid to the main hall. Finally he saw Concubine Jing. He saluted immediately and said: "Wei Chen, please see Concubine Jing. This is the beauty powder that King Guangping ordered Wei Chen to send to Concubine Jing."

When Concubine Jing heard Fu Rudi's voice, she immediately sat up straight like a cat with fried hair.

She frowned and asked unhappily: "How could it be you?"

"I dare to ask my queen, why can't I be a minor minister?"

As Fu Rudi spoke, he raised his head in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, with a solemn expression between his brows.

Concubine Jing lost her younger sister, experienced Zhao Yuyi's accusation, and then looked at Fu Rudi, feeling inexplicably guilty.

Now that the five ghosts of Weisheng are away, Concubine Jing braces herself up and says indifferently: "Put down the jade girl fans. Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the harem. Master Fu, please come back."

"Yes."

Fu Rudi bowed and replied.

Seeing that he was very obedient, Concubine Jing breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she could finish her breath, what Fu Rudi took out from his sleeve was not a jade girl powder, but a soft sword!
The cold light is as sharp as iron.

In the blink of an eye, he pressed against Concubine Jing's neck.

At this point, Fu Rudi stopped pretending. The emotion in his eyes was colder than ice, and he said coldly: "Concubine Jing, I'm offended. May I ask where Fu Jiao... was taken?" The palace people saw. He looked shocked.

Just as he was about to rush out and call the guards to escort him, Concubine Jing scolded him: "Come back, everyone! Don't make any noise!"

The palace people were shocked.

"Mother, Fu Rudi has committed the serious crime of beheading..."

"Shut up! No one can spread what happened today!" Concubine Jing forced herself to calm down. Even though sweat was dripping from the tip of her nose, she didn't dare to move. "Master Fu, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully. Don't use knives or guns."

Fu Rudi said coldly: "If the empress hadn't forced me into a desperate situation, how could I have reached this point of death?"

There was nothing he could do.

The Fu family has been overturned, dead and crazy.

Looking back, Fu Rudi realized that he was alone. Apart from Fu Jiao's existence, which was still a thought, he had nothing left.

Concubine Jing is also in trouble.

She gritted her teeth and said, "It will benefit neither you nor me to make things worse."

"I don't care about anything."

Fu Rudi's tone was cold. He lightly glanced at Concubine Jing's face and threatened: "But your Majesty is different from me. Your Majesty has worked so hard to create so many troubles, all for the sake of the princess. Even if the princess doesn't appreciate it, your Majesty will go all the way to the end. Things are going to be dark. The news reached the ears of the emperor that I just gave up a humble life, but what about the empress? Not only did she give up her respected concubine, she also gave up all the honors and favors of Princess Zhaofu. "

Concubine Jing was unable to refute this.

They kept everything secret from Emperor Jianming.

Fortunately, Emperor Jianming claimed to be ill and had no time to care about it these days. Otherwise, she would be the first to suffer if the news spread.

Seeing this, Fu Rudi continued to press: "Tell me, Madam, where is my sister?"

"...I don't know."

"Is it?"

"I really don't know!"

Concubine Jing didn't lie.

The Five Ghosts of Weisheng were contacted through Princess Jianing, and the other party also had closer contacts with Princess Jianing. But in this situation, the eldest princess must not be dragged into the water again.

Her eyes rolled around, obviously making Fu Rudi even more angry.

Fu Rudi was extremely angry.

He raised the soft sword and said sternly: "Ms. Jing Fei, Wei Chen asks you again, where was my sister taken by the uncle who hates the five ghosts?!"

"I don't know!"

Concubine Jing's voice was louder than his.

She said: "Even if you ask me a thousand or ten thousand times, my answer will only be this: I don't know! I don't know!"

Fu Rudi was forced to panic.

He raised the soft sword in his hand, his eyes filled with scarlet red: "Jing Fei, if you don't want to say it, don't blame me for being disrespectful!"

"You are already disrespectful, what else can I do?"

Fu Rudi cared too much about Fu Jiao.

Thinking that it was all because of Concubine Jing's protection of the Five Ghosts, he stabbed forward with the soft sword in his hand. Just as he was about to pierce Concubine Jing's neck, a sharp shout suddenly came from outside, "Master Fu! Show mercy!"

Fu Rudi and Concubine Jing looked towards the palace gate at the same time, and saw Princess Jianing rushing over, reaching out to stop her.

After all, some brave palace servant went out to report it.

It happened that Princess Jianing came to Concubine Jing's palace and learned about this from her mouth, and her face turned pale.

"I'm not late, am I?"

Princess Jianing has an extraordinary bearing. Even though he saw such a ridiculous scene of a courtier assassinating a concubine in front of him, he still maintained a reluctant composure.

She said to Fu Rudi: "Master Fu, there is still a misunderstanding about this matter. Please let Concubine Jing go."

"Why is there such a misunderstanding?"

Fu Rudi frowned coldly.

Since he dared to sneak into the palace with King Guangping's token, he made all plans. He had seen every detail of the fight between the Five Ghosts of Yan Sheng and Fu Jiao. It was a definite fact that Concubine Jing and the Five Ghosts of Yan Sheng colluded, and there was absolutely no misunderstanding.

"Wei Chen just wants to know the whereabouts of my sister. Apart from Concubine Jing, there is really nothing I can do."

Princess Jianing nodded: "I understand your difficulty. However, Concubine Jing really doesn't know where your sister is. Even if you hold her hostage and stab her with a thousand or ten thousand knives, there will be no results. ”

Fu Rudi didn't believe it and was eager to try the soft sword in his hand, "Really?"

Concubine Jing's liver and gallbladder were split.

She looked to Princess Jianing for help, "Princess, save me!"

"...That's all."

Princess Jianing sighed, knowing that things could not be improved at this point, so she reluctantly told the truth: "The five ghosts of Yan Sheng are people found by this palace and have nothing to do with Concubine Jing. Concubine Jing does not understand this, you ask She is of no use."

Even so, Fu Rudi still refused to let Concubine Jing go.

He said calmly: "I would like to hear the details."

Princess Jianing said: "At the beginning, Concubine Jing came to me and told me that Princess Zhaofu had nightmares day and night. In her dreams, there was always an obscure woman competing with her for the emperor's favor. Because this matter was too strange, I Gong then smoothed the relationship in the temple where he practiced, and found the five ghosts of Yansheng, and asked them to help him do a calculation for Zhaofu... This calculation revealed that Fu Jiao and Zhaofu are incompatible with each other, and one person will die only if one person lives. One life..."

Fu Rudi knows all this.

Wasn't it because of this illusory fortune telling that Zhao Yuyi killed Fu Jiaotong in the first place?

After such a long time, the two of them were at peace with each other. I guess I was just talking nonsense.

Fu Rudi frowned and said, "It seems that the eldest princess and Concubine Jing still believe in the words of the Five Ghosts, so they join forces with their uncle to harm Fu Jiao?"

Concubine Jing thought so.

Nothing in the world is as important as his daughter Zhaofu.

She pursed her lips and was about to say "I would rather kill by mistake than let go" when she heard Princess Jianing shake her head, "No. Mr. Fu, you are wrong. I am not harming Fu Jiao by doing this. Saving her."

Concubine Jing and Fu Rudi looked at her in surprise at the same time.

Concubine Jing rolled her eyes, suspecting that this was Princess Jianing's excuse.

It was obvious that the two of them had agreed to kidnap Fu Jiao and keep her away from the capital, so that Zhao Fu could no longer be threatened.

Obviously, Fu Rudi also felt that Princess Jianing's words were nonsense.

He said nothing.

Princess Jianing took a few steps forward, looked at Fu Rudi sadly, and asked: "Master Fu, you don't need to think that I'm lying to you. Just one thing, the emperor asked you to secretly search for the princess who lives among the people. I guess you already have a clue. Already?"

As soon as she mentioned this, Fu Rudi's expression suddenly changed.

"That half piece of coral jade..."

"Not bad." Princess Jianing nodded, "Just as you thought."
