Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Once interrupted, Shen Huaixu's previous thoughts disappeared without a trace. She had no intention of hiding what happened outside from Fu Yin, so she expressed her thoughts very fluently.

"I was thinking that the young emperor's greatest supporter is the He family. If the He family also turns against us, I don't know what will happen when we are isolated and helpless."

Shen Huaixu handed a bowl of milk tea to Fu Yin. She took a sip and found the aroma of milk and tea blended well. The sweet caramel aroma made her squint comfortably.

"It's not my business to worry about the affairs of Nanxia. I'm worried that you might be implicated. The transformation of faith into a real person has a huge impact on believers. It's not impossible that they might get carried away and support you to take the throne."

She now needs to confirm Fu Yin's thoughts. If he wants to leave, they can leave immediately and split into two groups with Xiaoman and Shuangjiang.

Shen Huaixu was still waiting for Fu Yin's answer, but Fu Yin said calmly, "If I want to take you away, they can't stop me."

Shen Huaixu: “······” Her focus was whether he wanted to leave or not, and whether he wanted to take her with him.

Forget it.

"So you want to leave?"

Fu Yin drank a sip of milk tea silently, lowered his eyes and remained silent, "Actually, Wei Yunjue is a pretty good person."

Wei Yunjue is the name of the young emperor of Southern Xia.

Shen Huaixu didn't care that Fuyin called the emperor by his name directly. What he cared about was Fuyin's attitude towards the little emperor. The relationship between them didn't seem to be as distant as he thought.

"It's really not easy to hear such words from your mouth. Does it feel good to be 'Mr. He'?" Shen Huaixu teased.

"It's just so-so. I didn't teach him anything. He is indeed smart and won't just sit there and do nothing. There are only two days left. Let's wait and see what happens."

The result of waiting and watching was that Wei Yunjue summoned Fu Yin to the imperial study the next day, and Shen Huaixu was also to go with him.

Shen Huaixu had no choice but to play the role of a book boy.

On the way to the Imperial Study, Fu Yin was called away by a young eunuch halfway. When Shen Huaixu was about to follow him, the eunuch who was taking them to the Imperial Study stopped her. She suddenly had an idea and realized that this was the little emperor's idea, so she followed him to the Imperial Study.

She was not familiar with the palace of Nanxia, ​​but she was familiar with the way to the imperial study. The familiar scenery along the way made Shen Huaixu breathe a sigh of relief.

They were able to live in the palace for such a long time thanks to the fact that the little emperor had no one in his harem. If the little emperor could sit firmly on the throne, it should be soon.

"Heqing, come here and help me grind some ink."

Shen Huaixu's face under the mask was angry but he dared not speak. He moved to Wei Yunjue's desk with heavy steps. After grinding the ink, Wei Yunjue did not do anything serious. He painted the facial features of the little wooden figure, and let Shen Huaixu appreciate it after the painting was finished.

Glancing at the ugly wooden figurine, Shen Huaixu felt that placing this thing at the bedside would attract unclean things.

Resisting the urge to complain, Shen Huaixu said against his will: "Your Majesty's writing is brilliant and the finishing touch is unparalleled."

Wei Yunjue: “…” Although it was clearly a respectful tone, he heard sarcasm.

As expected of Mr. He's servant boy, he is so brave.

Wei Yunjue felt that as an emperor, he shouldn't bother too much with such a little servant boy. He glanced at the little servant boy and asked, "Aren't you hot wearing such warm clothes all day long?"

It’s hot, Shen Huaixu thought expressionlessly. She was sweating all over on the way to the imperial study.

She curled her lips and said, "My master is a low-key person. As his servant, I should obey him."

"If you and your servant had stayed in Nanxia, ​​you wouldn't have to be so low-key." Apart from the fact that no one could recognize his face, he would attract a lot of attention whenever he wore this outfit.

"It is an honor for my master that His Majesty gets along well with him, but he loves freedom by nature and might get bored if he stays here all the time."

Wei Yunjue couldn't help being absent-minded when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "Have you been to many places with Mr. He?"

Shen Huaixu glanced at him and said, "Yes."

This time, Wei Yunjue was silent for a long time before he said, "You are more comfortable than me."

After saying this, he recalled the conversation just now and found that the little servant was quite tight-lipped, so he asked directly: "He Qing, I heard that you and the teacher will leave Nanxia the day after tomorrow? Where are you planning to go?"

Shen Huaixu raised his eyebrows slightly and gave a standard answer: "I will obey the master's decision."

"Mr. He hasn't told you yet?" Wei Yunjue felt that the little servant was hiding something from him.

The first time he met He Qing, he found that Mr. He talked a lot more, and most of the time he was talking to He Qing to shield him from his questions. Although he didn't know how the master and servant got along in private, it was clear that the little servant was not simple.

"Your Majesty, my master always does things as he pleases."

Wei Yunjue glanced at the little servant meaningfully, "You are an obedient little servant."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary."

When enemies come, we will fight them; when water comes, we will block it with earth. The little book boy's meticulous style gave Wei Yunjue a headache, and finally he gave up asking tricks.

When Mr. He returned to the imperial study, Wei Yunjue complained to him angrily, "The bookboys around you are not very interesting. Why don't I give you a few to serve you? You will have a long way to go in the future, and you can't live without people around you."

Shen Huaixu rolled his eyes, feeling deeply that Fu Yin had made a mistake in his first choice of person.

Fu Yin was a little worried about letting Shen Huaixu stay with the little emperor for so long, but he felt relieved after hearing this. "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm afraid I can't take away too many people."

Wei Yunjue choked, thought about it and realized it was true, so he waved his hand in frustration and asked everyone to leave.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Shen Huaixu couldn't help but say, "I think you don't have a good eye for people."

Fu Yin was stunned, "What's wrong with that? Aren't you fine?"

Shen Huaixu: “…That’s true.”

She suppressed the corners of her mouth that were about to curl up and coughed, "I went to the street yesterday and bought a lot of edible insects. Do you want to try some?"

Fu Yin's expression twisted for a moment, "I'll ask someone to bring some food."

On the last day before leaving Nanxia, ​​Fu Yin was called by the little emperor alone. When he came back, he brought a letter and asked him to read it on the day he left Nanxia.

That night, the bedroom where Wei Yunjue lived caught fire. The fire was so huge that thick smoke billowed and burned half the sky red.
