Chapter 28 The Lantern
Lin Ruhui stared at Fuwan closely, as if trying to find out the subtle emotional changes on her face.
After a long while, she opened her mouth to talk about the events of that year in detail: "The middle palace lost its virtue, the empress was so rebellious that she eloped out of the palace with the female official, and the one who was ordered to lead the army to hunt it down was Marquis Dingyuan."
elopement?Fu Wan didn't react for a while, and even thought it was a little funny, who would leave the palace without being a good queen?
That's exactly what Mrs. Chen did.Lin Ruhui said: "In the past few days, I looked through the top-secret files sealed in Dali Temple, and finally found this old case. Empress Chen fled the palace privately with the female officials, and was intercepted by the Yulin Army at the Min River Ferry."
"She...why?" As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Fu Wan knew that she had asked something stupid.
——Chen Shiben is such a bold and reckless person. In the final analysis, she is very similar to herself, as long as she wants it, she must get it.
She said softly, "What happened next?"
Lin Ruhui: "The Marquis of Dingyuan escorted the two of them back to the capital. According to the palace rules, the female official should have been executed secretly, but the emperor did the opposite. He was fortunate enough to be a spring girl, and he made her a soft concubine, trapping people. Facing the empress day and night in the palace, reminding her of the mistakes she made every day."
Fu Wan clenched his fists.
Lin Ruhui looked at her: "Do you still think that the queen has no motive?"
Tu Jin Ding Yuanhou's entire clan, leaving only an orphan girl behind, and then pushed her into the abyss again in the name of a lifesaver.It would make sense to say that all this was done for revenge.
Fu Wan closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "You said just now, what would happen if Bai Chan fell in love?"
Lin Ruhui said calmly: "If it is light, it will lose all internal strength, and if it is serious, it will go crazy."
***
Tianjie is bustling with lights, and when the Lantern Festival celebration is in full swing, there are craftsmen setting up stalls on the side of the road, hanging Lantern Lanterns to compete for splendor.
Rabbits, lotus flowers, and small fishes were pierced out of the wax paper, which was extremely novel, but Fu Wan ignored it and just followed the crowds.
A few civilian children ran past her laughingly, wearing wooden masks at the side, holding candied haws and snacks in their hands.Fu Wan glanced at the bright red hawthorn fruit, and was dazed for a moment, until he bumped into it before realizing it.
She looks up.The visitor was dressed in white, with a simple bun like Yun Qingsi, with a ferocious Shura mask covering his face, and two strands of hair leaking from his temples swayed gently in the night wind.
Even though he covered his face, Fu Wan recognized her at a glance.
white cicada.These two words rolled around her mouth a few times, and then swallowed them back.
Fu Wan mumbled "Sorry" and wanted to sneak over, but was stopped.
Bai Chan spread her five fingers to cover the mask.Her hands are beautiful, the backs of her hands are jade white, the clear bone lines are undulating, and the light blue meridians are slightly raised, giving a sense of strength.
She took off her mask and said, "Your Highness, it's me."
Fu Wan thought that of course I knew it was you, and it was because of you that I wanted to avoid it.
Countless paper lanterns were spun by the wind, and the shadows of the lights staggered, as if a layer of arc light had been cast on Bai Chan's body.
Fu Wan subconsciously took a step towards her, came back to his senses, calmed down and said: "I... I'm going back to the palace."
Bai Chan said: "Today she called me into the palace, the incident happened suddenly, I couldn't tell you in advance, I'm sorry."
"...I don't care about that."
Bai Chan tilted her head: "But you are angry."
Fu Wan turned her face away, and said without confidence, "No, no." Suddenly, she felt a chill in her brow, but it was Bai Chan who poked it lightly.
"I frowned tightly, and said I wasn't angry." She said calmly, "Just now you left the banquet, I wanted to come to you, I was not familiar with the road in the palace, so I lost it."
Fu Wan peeked at her, a little unsure of what she was thinking.
After hearing Lin Ruhui's words, she understood why Bai Chan always avoided her.After finally figuring this out, she had a new trouble - she didn't understand why this person suddenly changed his sex and came to tease her again?Aren't you afraid that a person who goes too far will lose all his internal strength?
Fu Wan couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply asked.
Bai Chan seemed a little surprised: "How did you know this?"
Fu Wan thought that you still have time to pay attention to these things, and asked again: "So is it true?"
Bai Chan didn't answer, she held down the saber at her waist with one hand.Fu Wan's heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of her chest. After waiting for a long time, she suddenly felt that her eyes went dark, but it was Bai Chan who covered her eyes with the mask.
Through the mask, Bai Chan kissed her forehead.This kiss was very light, falling between the eyebrows, like a butterfly stopping for a short time.
The two of them were half a head apart, and other people thought it was the intimacy between sisters, so they didn't find it strange, at most, it was because of Bai Chan's overly beautiful face that she gave them two extra glances.
Bai Chan straightened up, put on the front mask for her, and said calmly: "No matter what, this is my decision, Your Highness, don't worry about it."
Fuwan's heart beat like thunder.
--what is this?Did she... respond?
Bai Chan did not explain further.She took her and walked to the busiest part of Tianjie.
The tall and beautiful woman in white clothes dragged a thin girl and walked back and forth. Passers-by turned their heads to look at her. When they met Bai Chan, their eyes froze for a while, and then they glanced at the person behind her—— The woman in white was born so beautiful, her "sister" must be no worse, but it's a pity that she wears a fierce mask, so she can't see the beauty of the beauty.
Fu Wan didn't know that there were so many people peeking at her. She was dizzy all night, as if she was walking on clouds, and her attention was all focused on the hands they held.
Slightly cool, a little cocooned, very steady and very strong, Bai Chan tightened his strength from time to time, as if he was worried about losing her.
They walked a long way and stopped to buy a lamp.
The peddler who set up the stall was used to doing business, and greeted him with a smile: "This girl, seeing how well-behaved your little sister is, why don't you choose a lantern for her?"
Bai Chan raised her eyelids to look at him: "Little sister?"
Her eyebrows and eyes were extremely beautiful, but she couldn't hold back her cold and sharp aura. The peddler froze when he saw it, and then hurriedly apologized: "Girl, miss, but the little one made a mistake?"
Bai Chan glanced back at Fu Wan, who was bowing her head, hummed lightly, then turned to look at the lamps: "How do you sell these lamps?"
The hawker was overjoyed, and immediately took bamboo poles and picked out a few best-selling models and lined them up.
Bai Chan looked at it carefully for a while, then turned around and said, "Which one do you like?"
Lanterns for the Lantern Festival have always been bought by young people for the girls they like to please. Thinking of this, Fu Wan's face under the mask became a little hot, so he didn't care about any fancy styles.She randomly ordered a rabbit: "This, this."
Bai Chan nodded at the peddler, took out her purse to pay.
The peddler strung up the green bamboo poles of the lanterns, approached the lanterns and lit the candles, and helped them fix them before handing them over to Bai Chan.
Bai Chan said lightly, "Thank you." After speaking, he handed the lantern to Fu Wan.
Fuwan was holding the rabbit lantern blankly.The rabbit is made of paper, the paper is dyed a light pink with the juice of impatiens, and the rabbit's eyes are adorned with two red beads. It looks very cute.
She is thin and small, with a chubby rabbit, she is quite childish.
Bai Chan seemed very satisfied, and smiled almost invisibly.
With a light smile, when Fu Wan looked up at her, it disappeared like the night wind.
That night, they walked the entire Paradise Street from beginning to end. Fu Wan didn't recover for several days. When she closed her eyes, there were always lights all over the street and the hand holding her.
By the time she finally kicked the charming out of her head, it was already the end of the first lunar month.
Many evidences that Lin Ruhui listed back then all pointed to the Empress.But Fu Wan always held a trace of suspicion. She had an intuition that things were not that simple, and there might be someone else behind the scenes.
Even so, it is still very dangerous to let Bai Chan stay with the Empress.From years ago to the present, the atmosphere in Beijing and China has become more tense, and Bai Chan's special status can easily become a weakness for others to slander.
——She has high martial arts skills, but I'm afraid it's easy to hide a hidden arrow and hard to guard against it.
After thinking for a long time, Fu Wan finally came up with a safe idea.With this idea, the jaws of all the ministers were almost shocked.
This matter has to start with the severe drought in southern Xinjiang. In the past month, the DPRK and China have been arguing endlessly over this matter.All forces want to get a piece of the pie, but when it's their turn to do practical things, no one is willing to rush to take responsibility.
The food money that has been delayed until the central government has been prepared is ready, but a decent imperial envoy still cannot be selected.
Everyone knows that this is a thankless job. If you do a good job, you won't get any rewards. If you fail, it is a trivial matter to be demoted.
Besides, the money and food for disaster relief, the ones distributed by the imperial court are not enough. When they arrive in the local area, they will ask the wealthy businessmen and gentry to collect donations.Every job is hard work that offends others. They have the title of "imperial envoy" for nothing, but they do hard work.
The courtiers are all old foxes, flattering each other, wearing tall hats, and kicking the ball back and forth, no one wants to take this job.
The empress endured them for a few days, and she was on the verge of breaking out. The courtiers were also anxious, thinking that they would find a hapless ghost quickly so that everyone could rest assured. At this stall, the emperor suddenly stood up and invited her to go to the southern border for disaster relief.
Everyone was taken aback, thinking they had heard wrong.
Listen again, that's right, that crooked Highness Di Ji told everyone clearly that she was going.
As for the reason, she talked nonsense about how she couldn't bear to see the people suffer, but all the officials didn't listen.They were overjoyed, wishing they could pat their thighs and praise her.
Wonderful!Wonderful!Simply wonderful!
Only the Empress looked worried.
But what kind of people are the courtiers below, how can she let her take advantage of the door?Immediately stacked high hats on top of each other, to the effect that Kwatiji people are kind-hearted and caring about the world and understand the righteousness. They just wish they can't be promoted to the sky, and they don't leave any chance for her to repent.
Fu Wan ignored them and only looked up at the person sitting above him.
"Your Majesty, I have only one request."
The empress raised her finger calmly, motioning for her to say.
Fu Wan said: "It is very difficult to go to the southern border. My son has the courage to ask you for a capable guard."
She didn't specify, but there was no need to say - with the ability of the empress, how could she not know who she wanted.
The empress didn't show any expression, she just asked her: "Have you thought about it?"
Fu Wan responded, kowtowed for a long time, followed behind her, the ministers hula la knelt together, and all praised the virtues of Emperor Ji.
The hall was so quiet that one could hear the soft sound of birds flapping their wings under the eaves. After a long time, Fu Wan thought that the other party had left.
The empress's cold voice sounded: "Go if you want."
Fu Wan suddenly raised his face, unable to believe that the other party agreed to his request so easily.But the empress didn't look at her, she stood up and was led by the female officer to change clothes in the apse.
All the courtiers gathered around one after another, Fu Wan didn't listen to their hypocritical praise at all.She was still a little dazed when she got up, it stands to reason that she was pregnant with the "Emperor's Heir", so no matter what, she should not go out of the palace to suffer from the exhaustion of driving and horses.
But judging by the empress's attitude, she doesn't seem to care about this matter.
Fu Wan frowned slightly.Could she... already know something?
After a long while, she opened her mouth to talk about the events of that year in detail: "The middle palace lost its virtue, the empress was so rebellious that she eloped out of the palace with the female official, and the one who was ordered to lead the army to hunt it down was Marquis Dingyuan."

Fu Wan clenched his fists.
