After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

After leaving Wuhuayuan, Lu Linchu went to Fangyi's Fucai Pavilion.

Fangyi's attitude towards him was cold and indifferent, completely lacking the enthusiasm she had when she was a maid. This made Lu Linchu lose all interest. He said a few casual words of concern and went back to Muxiangzhai.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw Chu Huaixi sitting alone on the bed crying. Hearing her mumbling "father", Lu Linchu knew that she must have known that her father had exiled Chu Qinghe.

He walked slowly to the bed and sat down. He stared at her quietly for a long time before he said, "I will send someone to take good care of your father and make sure he doesn't get into any trouble."

Chu Huaixi's eyes were filled with tears: "But the north is bitterly cold, how could my father endure such hardships."

"There is no other way now."

Lu Linchu advised: "We can only wait until father's anger subsides before we proceed slowly."

After what happened to Yunling, he really didn't have the courage to go against the entire family for a woman.

"Can......"

Chu Huaixi was a little unwilling, but just as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lu Linchu coldly: "I will do my best to protect your father, and I will also find a way to deal with your problem."

After he said this, Chu Huaixi finally couldn't ask for anything more.

After a moment's silence, he asked softly, "Does the prince have a daughter in his heart?"

"You've given so much for me, how can I not have you in my heart?"

Lu Linchu said solemnly: "If I didn't have you in my heart, how could I bring you back home?"

"I am satisfied with your words, my Lord."

Chu Huaixi snuggled into his arms. Thinking of the ruthlessness and cruelty of the prince and princess, she really couldn't swallow this.

She would never let her father suffer this humiliation in vain.

......

Cloud City

In the Fu family courtyard, Pu stood in her daughter's boudoir, looking at the clean and tidy room, feeling sad and lonely.

"Have the people sent by the master found out Shu'er's whereabouts?" she asked Nanny Tu with a dull look.

Nanny Tu shook her head blankly.

"This stinky girl."

Pu cried silently and wiped her tears with a handkerchief while complaining: "If she had listened to me and married into the Liyang Palace, she would be living a glorious life now."

"Unexpected events happen all the time. After all, this is the path that the second girl chose herself."

Madam Tu advised earnestly: "For now, we can only hope that the second young lady can find a husband."

"Why are you looking for him?"

Pu said angrily: "As a soldier, you are afraid of death and bring trouble to the whole family. Do you want to hurt my Fu family?"

After hearing this, Nanny Tu didn't dare to say anything more.

The master and servant walked around the room again, and then they saw the maid from the outer courtyard come to report: "Madam, His Majesty summoned the master and the lady to the palace. The master sent this servant to invite the lady."

"Your Majesty summoned me and the Master to the palace?"

Pu was surprised and asked, "Why did His Majesty summon my wife and me at this critical moment?"

Nanny Tu asked suspiciously, "Could it be that His Majesty feels guilty for wrongly killing the entire Song family and causing the second young lady to suffer such a disaster, and wants to compensate the Fu family?"

"It's possible that you said that."

The more Pu thought about it, the more certain she became: "The Song family is a family of meritorious service after all, and the son-in-law is a close friend of Your Majesty. Your Majesty really shouldn't be so cruel. Not to mention the civil and military officials in the court, even the Liyang Palace begged Your Majesty so hard that day. I'm afraid Your Majesty has repented now."

Thinking of this, she quickly ordered Nanny Tu: "Go and find my dress made of Yuhua soft brocade. I have to dress up formally before entering the palace to see the emperor."

Several people hurried back to the main courtyard and tidied themselves up. It was not until Fu Ping sent someone to urge them again and again that Pu was willing to go out.

Sitting in the carriage, Fu Ping was feeling uneasy. After listening to his step-wife's analysis, he did not agree at all and vaguely felt that something had happened to his second daughter.

Sure enough, when they entered the palace, Pu happily followed him into the Yangxin Palace, and Emperor Hui flew into a rage: "Minister Fu, Madam Pu, you really raised a good daughter."

The couple was so frightened that their faces turned pale and they immediately knelt on the ground. Pu asked in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? I really don't know."

"Are you still pretending to be confused?"

Emperor Hui threw the memorial in his hand fiercely in front of her: "I am magnanimous and righteous, and I have pardoned your daughter, but she has ignored my kindness and ran to Tongcheng to have an affair with a traitor."

After a pause, his face became even more furious: "And your cousin Pu Yanshu from the Pu family was so bold that he helped Song Weizhao escape from the country and brutally killed our generals. Can you and your Fu families bear this heinous crime?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted sternly: "Come here, arrest the entire family of Pu and Fu immediately and throw them into death row."

"Your Majesty, I really don't know."

Mrs. Pu was so frightened that her legs were shaking. "My wife and I have been sending people to inquire about my daughter's whereabouts these days. If I knew she was so bold, I would have captured her alive and beaten her to death in the ancestral temple."

No matter how earnestly she spoke, Emperor Hui remained unmoved.

The Royal Guards also approached in a solemn and dignified manner.

"Even if you don't consider my husband's loyalty to the country, please consider my daughter Yun'er, the Crown Prince's Consort of Liyang Palace, and beg Your Majesty to show mercy."

Pu cried heartbreakingly, "Ever since my eldest daughter married into the palace, the prince has favored his concubine over his wife, and has humiliated the prince's wife time and time again, but she has always tolerated it and never complained. What is her purpose? Isn't it to consider the overall situation, to protect the emperor's face, and to maintain the dignity of the royal family?"

"Fu Guiyun?" Emperor Hui was deeply impressed by this woman.

Her gentle and dignified personality makes her worthy of being the empress.

Seeing that Emperor Hui seemed to be moved, Pu continued with a stiff upper lip: "Yes, Your Majesty, although my Fu family is of low status, Yun'er is a famous lady in Yundu City. Who wouldn't like her? If Your Majesty hadn't arranged a marriage between the Liyang Palace and the eldest princess, she wouldn't have to marry to the Liyang Palace thousands of miles away to share Your Majesty's worries."

Although her words were full of resentment, Emperor Hui had to admit that what she said was true.

If I hadn't insisted on arranging a marriage between my imperial sister and Lu Linchu, the man from the Fu family would never have come to fill this hole.

The fact that Prince Liyang specifically requested the Fu family for this marriage arrangement had already given him enough leverage, so he had no choice but to accept the marriage on behalf of the Fu family.

Now thinking back to how he had instigated Yun Ling to wreak havoc in the palace, and how he had in fact also hurt Miss Fu, he couldn't bear it.

"Come to think of it, the eldest lady has indeed shared some of my worries." Emperor Hui let out a long sigh.

Now they have to rely on the Liyang Palace to guard the southern border. If the entire Fu family is wiped out, no matter how weak the woman is, she will find it difficult to swallow this evil.

Lu Linchu didn't like ladies from wealthy families, but the Prince of Liyang and his wife valued this daughter-in-law very much, and Emperor Hui was well aware of this.

"Minister Fu, how can I say this to you?"

Emperor Hui looked at Fu Ping, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and sighed helplessly: "You said that the two daughters you raised, one is a headache, and the other is a heartache. If I really kill your Fu family, it will really chill the heart of the Crown Prince's Consort."
