I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Fu Jichang slowly raised his head and said in a hoarse voice: "You came to my yard, why didn't you say anything!"

Ji Xiaobei: That’s right, I’ll leave quickly…

"Hey, Xiaobei, I have something to talk to you about!" Fu Jichang said as he got up.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Ji Xiaobei turned around and said while leaning against the door.

"Can you give me some medicine that will make me sick?" said Fu Jichang.

Ji Xiaobei: Ah...other people take medicine and get better, but you take medicine that makes you sick!

You are simply sick!

Fu Jichang pointed to the sky.

Ji Xiaobei looked up at the sky curiously; it was a little cloudy.

"Something happened to God? Will the medicine work for you?" Ji Xiaobei was puzzled.

Seeing that she was still stubborn, Fu Jichang lowered his voice and said, "Close the door and I will tell you."

Ji Xiaobei glanced at the door worriedly.

close the door!

A single man and a single woman!

She closed the door gently and leaned against it so that if anything happened, she could run away.

Fu Jichang saw her alert face and touched his nose awkwardly.

Am I so unbearable in her heart?

Ji Xiaobei: Humph! You better be more careful!

Fu Jichang sat up straight, coughed lightly and asked, "Do you know where I went yesterday?"

Ji Xiaobei rolled his eyes. Isn’t it just the capital?

We've already met each other, why keep it a secret?

If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now!

"Do you know who I'm going to see?"

Ji Xiaobei: Will you tell me or not?

Fu Jichang pointed toward the roof.

Ji Xiaobei looked up at the roof and saw a beam.

"You take a rest, I'm leaving first..."

Ji Xiaobei opened the door and was about to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey, I said, I'm going to see the emperor..." Fu Jichang finally said.

Alas, this woman is very straightforward and doesn't mean any tricks.

Ji Xiaobei slammed the door shut.

He wants to tell a secret?

"The government is unstable now, the dispute over the crown prince is becoming more and more public, the war in the northern border is getting intense, the emperor is old, and it is impossible for him to go to the battle personally. He asked the four princes to come up with a battle plan for the northern border...

Not long after I left the palace, Prince Qing found me and asked me to help him with his plans. Later, Prince An also found me, and Prince Wei also sent someone to ask me..."

"Ah, you are so popular. No, there is also a king? Aren't there four princes?"

Ji Xiaobei asked with eyes wide open.

Fu Jichang: Now is not the time to discuss the prince's affairs. I just want to find a reason to reject them.

Fu Jichang had fought in the northern border and was familiar with the terrain and the enemy's combat tactics, so they all came to him.

The emperor discussed this matter with Fu Jichang in secret.

Fu Jichang could not help any of the princes.

But, he is a subject, and he cannot refuse to go if the prince invites him.

So, he was worried to death.

In order to satisfy Ji Xiaobei's curiosity, Fu Jichang said:

"The fourth prince is the Prince of Yongding. He is only 17 years old and young. The other three princes do not take him seriously, thinking that he is just a child and poses no threat to them."

Ji Xiaobei asked again: "So you want to pretend to be sick at home and wait until the four princes hand in their battle plans before you go out?"

Fu Jichang nodded and thought, this woman is really stupid!

Ji Xiaobei said worriedly: "If your head is fine, even if your arms and legs are broken, you can still come up with ideas, and they can carry you over..."

"Then what should we do?" Fu Jichang felt that what Ji Xiaobei said made sense.

"Pretending to be crazy!" Ji Xiaobei said seriously.

"Ah! I..." Fu Jichang couldn't imagine what he would look like if he, who was usually self-disciplined and prudent, went crazy.

"No, no, this won't work. I'd better think of another way!" Fu Jichang said, shaking his head.

"Play disappearance, I'll hide in the mountains for a few days!"

"Do you think you can get out? The three princes' men may be eagerly waiting for you to get out!" Ji Xiaobei said gloatingly, "There is another way, let a higher power restrain the prince!"

"How to restrict it?"

"Go and ask the emperor to summon you into the palace. Even if the prince is looking for you, he won't be able to find you!" Ji Xiaobei said with a smile.

Fu Jichang thought deeply: This is a good idea, but how can I tell the emperor about this?

"By the way, I went to Prince Qing's mansion yesterday. It's really big. Princess Qing is very noble, but she's not unreasonable. However, her sister Zhao Mu is a little unreasonable."

"What? Did Zhao Mu cause you trouble?"

Fu Jichang asked nervously.

"A while ago, the incident at the textile workshop was caused by Zhao Mu, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as Princess Qing recommended the textile shop to Jinlufang.

After Jinlufang placed the order, other merchants came to place orders, and the stock in the warehouse was cleared out. Now the orders are coming in like snowflakes!"

Ji Xiaobei said with some pride.

Fu Jichang's thoughts were all on Zhao Mu, and she had indeed caused trouble for Ji Xiaobei.

Fu Jichang asked guiltily, "Why did Zhao Mu bother you?"

Ji Xiaobei said nonchalantly: "How should I know? A big tree attracts the wind, it's inevitable."

Fu Jichang didn't know how to explain to Ji Xiaobei.

Zhao Mu is not a person who will give up easily, and he might cause trouble for her.

"Zhao Mu is the younger sister of Princess Qing. She has been spoiled by Princess Qing since she was young. She is backed by her aunt, the Queen. She is very arrogant and domineering. The noble ladies in the capital dare to provoke her."

"So what you mean is that I should stay away from her in the future?" Ji Xiaobei looked at Fu Jichang with sharp eyes.

Fu Jichang's heart skipped a beat.

There's no need to hide!

"I'll go talk to Zhao Mu when I have a chance!" Fu Jichang suddenly said.

After saying this, he regretted it and looked at Ji Xiaobei uneasily.

Ji Xiaobei didn't seem to care at all. He tilted his head and smiled, not knowing what he was thinking!

Ji Xiaobei came closer with a silly grin on his face, and Fu Jichang couldn't help but lean back. Normally, Ji Xiaobei wouldn't be able to do anything serious under such circumstances.

"Hey, my dear, the idea I gave you is really feasible!"

Fu Jichang cupped his hands and said humbly, "I'd like to hear more about it!"

"You asked me to dress up as your servant and go with you to the government office. Aren't the people sent by the prince waiting for you at the gate of the government office?" Ji Xiaobei said mysteriously.

"This is a sensitive area in the government office, we can't mess around!" Fu Jichang said seriously.

"Don't be silly. Just pretend to be crazy for a quarter of an hour and you will be happy for the rest of your life!" Ji Xiaobei said more seriously than him.
