Chapter 135 Fu Chenchu and Wu Xuan'er
Recently, Ye Zhuxi noticed that Fu Jingyuan was getting busier and busier. At night, she would open her eyes in a daze and reach out to touch the side of the bed, but he was still not there. However, he would come back to have dinner with her the next day.
Looking at the frost on his shoulders, he looked travel-worn and tired, clearly indicating that he hadn't had a good rest.
She had a premonition that many things were going to happen, and she knew it was inevitable, but she was still very scared.
Ye Zhuxi didn't ask any more questions. Instead, that night, she embroidered a rose on the clothes he had changed out of, hoping to keep him safe and sound.
In the palace.
"It's terrible, Your Majesty! Prince Qi has already captured three cities in Ji Province, and our troops can't hold him off!"
Fu Jingyuan: "Impossible! We still have 200,000 troops, how could we possibly be no match for a mere Prince Qi!"
Eunuch Liu: "Your Majesty... those troops no longer listen to you... they are now only loyal to the Crown Prince..."
Fu Chenchu stood up and walked down, taking out the token from his waist: "I have the Tiger Tally. I refuse to believe that they will disobey me once they see the Tiger Tally!"
"Your Majesty, it's no use. The entire palace is now under the control of His Highness the Crown Prince. No one will listen to you!"
"..."
Hearing the screams outside, he knew there was chaos in the palace. He staggered a few steps in disbelief, his eyes bloodshot.
Fu Chenchu couldn't understand why God was treating him this way. He had already been trying his best to make amends and atone for his sins, so why was he still being abandoned by everyone?
Thinking of being "betrayed by everyone," he suddenly remembered there was one more person. Without thinking, he hurriedly walked out.
"Your Majesty, where are you going? Wait for this old servant!"
Eunuch Liu quickly got up and followed.
Inside the Phoenix Palace.
When Fu Chenchu entered, he saw Wu Xuan'er sitting in front of the dressing table, holding the jade hairpin that he had given her a few years ago when he was bored.
The hairpin had been smashed and broken into two pieces. It was later repaired, and there was still a mark on it.
Wu Xuan'er saw him walk in through the mirror. His face was expressionless, and his beautiful peach blossom eyes remained unchanged.
The two were old, but time had been kind to her. She was still beautiful, just as she had been when they first met, so beautiful that it made his heart flutter!
"Xuan'er, Fu Chenmu is calling. I'll take you away from here first, and I'll bring you back once everything is over and all is well!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward to take her hand, but she gently dodged it.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that my son has returned? I want to be with him. Wherever he goes, I will be there!"
Speaking of Fu Jingyuan, Fu Chenchu felt a lump in his throat. Everything that was happening now was his revenge against him, but after all, it was the child he had with the woman he loved most, and he couldn't bear to be at odds with him!
“I know you can’t let go of your son, but do you know that half of the credit for Fu Chenmu being able to fight back is thanks to him!”
Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan'er raised her eyes and met his gaze coldly.
"Your Majesty, don't you think that everything that's happening now is something you deserve to suffer? Back then, weren't you also killing people every day for the same reasons?"
Fu Chenchu's eyes were bloodshot as he watched her gaze at him with disgust. He felt suffocated, as if a pair of hands were tightly gripping his neck, making it impossible for him to breathe.
After a long pause, he slowly asked her, "Do you hate me that much? Do you wish I could die right now?"
When Wu Xuan'er looked up at him, her eyes were icy cold, and she no longer held back.
"Yes, I hate you. You killed my father and my people. I've wanted to kill you for a long time and tear you to pieces!"
Some things, once done, cannot be undone; some people, if met at the wrong time, can never be together in this lifetime.
Memories, from the Showa era.
"My dear lady, please slow down, I can't keep up with you!"
On the streets of the capital, passersby turned to look at the girl in strange clothes walking towards them.
In recent years, Li Dazhao had maintained friendly relations with various ethnic groups. He had also met the Wuling people who came to Beijing to do business. However, this was the first time he had seen a woman of such stunning beauty that he couldn't help but stare at her.
The girl's beautiful face was absolutely stunning, especially her striking, deep-set eyes and brows, which were breathtakingly beautiful. Her eyes were expressive and slightly upturned, exuding a myriad of charms. Even someone who had seen countless beauties couldn't help but be captivated by that one glance.
With her hands, softer and more delicate than white porcelain, she held up the monster mask and asked her friend beside her with a smile.
"Does it look good?"
Qingqian smiled helplessly yet indulgently: "Beautiful, beautiful, you're the most beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan'er raised the corners of her lips triumphantly. Her peach blossom eyes were made up with eye makeup, her eyelids had a layer of bright luster, her red lips were alluring, and when she smiled, the beauty mark at the corner of her eye was made even more lifelike.
As more and more people looked at them, Qingqian pulled Wu Xuan'er back, who wanted to walk forward.
"We came to the Central Plains secretly, so don't let your father's men find out, or we'll be done for!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan'er immediately stopped what she was doing.
But Qingqian's words only made things worse. As soon as she finished speaking, several Wuling clansmen walked towards them.
"The young lady is there!"
Wu Xuan'er immediately recognized them as people sent by her father. The two were startled and turned to run away.
It was the annual Qixi Festival, a time when Li Dazhao was always busy with people.
Knowing they would be punished if they were caught, the two ran forward as fast as they could!
Unlike Wu Xuan'er, Qing Qian had practiced martial arts, and she stopped running after a while, panting heavily.
Her legs went weak, and she was panting heavily: "I... I can't run anymore, let... me rest for a while!"
As Wu Xuan'er was thinking this, they hid in the crowd, thinking that those people wouldn't be able to see them for a while. Unexpectedly, Amon, who was in charge, saw her from afar and led his men toward her.
Upon seeing this, Wu Xuan'er grabbed Qing Qian without thinking and ran away, completely unaware that she had grabbed the wrong person.
"..."
The man only felt a sudden tightening in his hand, and before he could even see who it was, he was dragged away.
When Qingqian got up after resting, there was no sign of Wu Xuan'er. She looked up and saw that Wu Xuan'er had already run far away.
"..."
The two ran for a long time until they shook off their pursuers, at which point Wu Xuan'er's legs gave way and she leaned against the bridge.
"Finally got rid of them!"
"..."
Seeing that the person next to her hadn't spoken for a while, she looked up in confusion, but instead of her friend Qingqian, she saw a man in dark blue clothes. He was looking down, his deep eyes scrutinizing her closely!
"..."
When Wu Xuan'er saw the man's face, her pupils contracted and she was stunned for a moment, because the man in front of her was really handsome, more handsome than any man she had ever seen, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a moment.
When the man saw the woman's face, a fleeting look of amazement crossed his dark, menacing eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Miss, can you let go now?"
