They all say I'm a puppet

The dark night always makes people feel lonely, but Cang Lin doesn't take it seriously, for him the night is the best cover.During this period of time, it seems that Xun Cheng intentionally or unintentionally used the pretext of practicing martial arts to let Cang Lin touch every corner of the imperial city.Cang Lin is even more familiar with the imperial city at night than it is during the day.However, it was the first time that he had to go through most of the imperial city by himself, just to find something.

Cang Lin is no stranger to the northwest corner of the imperial city. The cold palace where Fu Yu grew up is now there. He and Fu Yu have been there once, and under the arrangement of Xun Cheng, he has visited several times in the past few days. Thinking that Xun Cheng would hide things over there.

At first, when he knew it was in the northwest corner, Cang Lin felt a faint feeling of happiness in his heart.Because most of the palaces in the northwest of the imperial city are cold palaces, no one has lived in them for many years, and even the night guards rarely approach them, but when he walked along the corners, he found that everything seemed different tonight.

Probably Xun Cheng deliberately made it difficult for Cang Lin. I don’t know what excuse he used to mobilize almost half of the guards in the imperial city. There were more people watching the night in the originally cold northwest corner. , almost exposing his figure.Only then did he become a little more cautious, and climbed directly onto the roof, touching the cold palace all the way.

It is actually not easy to find a box in this cold palace in the northwest. It requires a special understanding of Xun Cheng, meticulous thinking, and extreme patience.For the current Cang Lin, this is actually not a difficult task.

Cang Lin didn't realize it before, but it wasn't until this night that he suddenly realized that what Xun Cheng taught him far exceeded his expectations. To face the immediate problems, learn to think, and learn to wait.

The sky in the east gradually brightened, Cang Lin let out a long sigh of relief, and took the inconspicuous box on the eaves into his hand, and was about to lift the lid when he suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind behind him , took a sudden step to the left, twisted his body, raised his left arm to block the punch that went straight to his left face, and turned his right hand into a palm knife, and slashed out.

In the dim morning light, Canglin matched the man's five or six moves one after another before he could see the other's face clearly, took a step back, and handed the wooden box over: "Hey, I found it."

Xun Cheng stopped his offensive, raised the corners of his lips, and looked at the wooden box in his hand: "Aren't you going to open it to see what's inside? Maybe it's a reward I specially prepared for you?"

The corner of Cang Lin's lips twitched, and he stuffed the wooden box directly into Xun Cheng's hand: "It's just an empty box, keep it for yourself. It's almost dawn, I'm going back."

Xun Cheng raised his hand to toss the box up, then caught it again, raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to hear the evaluation?"

Cang Lin paused slightly, turned his head to look at Xun Cheng, saw the smile on the other party's face receding slightly, and said in a rare serious way: "The skills are still good, I have specially sent several teams to patrol around here uninterruptedly, You have not been discovered, which is worthy of praise. As for the others," Xun Cheng raised his finger and pointed to the brightening sky in the northeast, "but the speed is still a bit slower, if you delay for a while, the sky will be fully lit."

Cang Lin slightly lowered his eyes and nodded: "I see."

Xun Cheng scanned his expression, and curled his lips. He knew how much this young man was thinking, and it was enough to say so far. If he tries again next time, he should not let himself down. This will inevitably make Xun Cheng Actually raised a little expectation.

Cang Lin raised his eyes and saw the expression on Xun Cheng's face. He suddenly reached out and took the wooden box from his hand to his own. In a flash, he fell directly from the roof and gradually disappeared from Xun Cheng's field of vision. middle.Standing on the roof, Xun Cheng looked at the direction of the sunrise from a distance, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Cang Lin did delay some time today. By the time he entered the Changle Palace, the sky was already getting brighter, and the morning light shone through the window into the palace. Just as Cang Lin entered the inner palace, he heard the sound of Fuyu turning over on the bed. , is already a sign of waking up.Cang Lin hesitated for a while, then walked directly to the side of the bed, reached out and patted Fu Yu's arm: "It's time to get up, today is the morning court."

Fu Yu opened his eyes in a daze, looked at Cang Lin in a half-dream, nodded indiscriminately, rubbed his face on the bed again, then slowly sat up straight, and whispered: "I have I can't even figure out why a king of a country can't even sleep late, and why so many people covet this position?"

Cang Lin didn't expect him to say such words, he was stunned but still couldn't hold back, a little smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Be careful if Mr. Su hears such words, he will teach you again."

When Fu Yu heard Su He's name, she couldn't help but lose face.During this period of time, under Su He's extremely strict teaching, Fu Yu's awe of Su He has been inferior to that of Chen Yuan.Cang Lin caught a glimpse of his face, and the smile on his face became stronger. It was rare for him to show such a smile. Alright, I'm going to wash my face."

Cang Lin stared at him for a while with a rare soft expression, bent the corners of his lips, and nodded to him.

Another day begins.

~~~

On March 28, the first year of Chunxi in Nanxia, ​​when the national mourning period expired in March, Taiwei Chen Yuan married Fu Zhi, the eldest princess of Yongning who had been widowed in the palace for many years.The marriage of the two shocked the government and the public from the day it was set, until the day of the wedding, many people still couldn't believe it, but no one dared to speak out against it.

These people naturally included Fu Yu, even though Fu Zhi personally expressed to him that he was willing to marry Chen Yuan, his heart was still very complicated.Chen Yuan is a person whose mood is difficult to distinguish between cloudy and sunny, and he will repay every penny, which can even be regarded as vicious and vicious.Even though the two were once in love with each other, after so many accidents, those feelings have probably disappeared long ago. According to Fu Yu's perspective, he felt that Chen Yuan had been alone for many years and refused to marry a wife because he could not get a wife. Just paranoid.No matter how weak the aunt-nephew relationship between him and Fu Zhi is, he still doesn't want Fu Zhi to marry someone like Chen Yuan.

But he was helpless.

Fu Yu sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the two people in the center of the hall. Chen Yuan was dressed in a red wedding dress and stood tall. He still had a smile on his face, but he was not as intimidating as before.Beside him is Fu Zhi, the eldest princess of Yongning, who is wearing a phoenix crown and xiapei, covering her face with her hijab. Fu Yu doesn't know if she is also smiling like Chen Yuan beside her.

According to the etiquette, Chen Yuan and Fu Zhi should kowtow to Fu Yu to thank the emperor, but Fu Yu dared not accept the gift from these two anyway, and said before the ceremony official said: "The emperor's aunt and... my uncle belong to me. Elder, I am still young, and today I am just a witness for the elder's marriage, no matter what I dare not accept this gift, the two of you can only thank the heavens and the earth, and the ancestors."

Ever since Fuyu succeeded to the throne, Chen Yuan has not seen the ceremony with Fuyu. The official of the ceremony was also worried that if he followed the ceremony, he would annoy this important minister with power. Lead the two to worship the heaven and the earth first, then the ancestors, and finally, the husband and wife worship each other.

The two knelt down on the ground, Princess Yongning was already lying on her body, but Chen Yuan stared at Fu Zhi for a while as if in a daze, until the ceremony officer couldn't help reminding him in a low voice, he raised the corner of his lips and slowly kowtow.

Fu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his complexion was actually not very good-looking.Chen Yuan's hesitation at that moment just now made him unable to help thinking about it. He didn't know what Chen Yuan was thinking at that moment just now. Was it joy, regret, or the loss after finally getting it?

He has no way of knowing these things, and even if he knows, there is nothing he can do about it. He slightly shifted his gaze and looked around at the silent officials in the hall. Chen Yuan's cronies were naturally full of joy, and some of them still had a little bit of affection for the Nanxia royal family. Hope's old ministers couldn't hide their worries, and most of them were expressionless. They didn't care at all why Chen Yuan married Princess Yongning, and they didn't want to know whether the two were really married. The only thing they cared about was the marriage. Will it have any impact on the court, and will this impact affect himself.

Fu Yu turned his eyes back to the two people in the middle of the hall. In fact, according to his conscience, although Chen Yuan was nearly [-] years old, he was thin and tender, standing next to Princess Yongning, The two of them can be regarded as talented and beautiful, and they are a peerless couple.No matter what the two got married for, in their hearts, they probably couldn't help but imagine that if nothing happened, if the late emperor hadn't been bewitched by Xing Gang that day, but let the twenty-eight-year-old Fu Zhi marry For Chen Yuan, whom he likes, will all the things between the two of them not become what they are today?

But everything is just imagination.

"Li Cheng." The voice of the ceremony officer revived Fu Yu's spirits. After the ceremony, there will be a wedding banquet, probably to show that he attaches great importance to this marriage. Chen Yuan set the wedding banquet directly on the Martial Heroes Hall, although It has exceeded the etiquette system, but no one dares to object.

The maid helped the eldest princess Yongning to the side hall to rest. Chen Yuan watched her figure walk away slowly, then turned around and nodded to the ceremony officer, indicating that everyone should take their seats and the banquet can begin.

Fu Yu lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the wine cup in front of him, and looked down at Chen Yuan: "I have little talent and learning, so I can't say anything, I just use this wine to congratulate Uncle for fulfilling his long-cherished wish."

Chen Yuan picked up the wine cup in front of him, and smiled at Fu Yu: "That minister, thank you, Your Majesty."
