They all say I'm a puppet

Fu Yu always felt that there was something wrong with Cang Lin recently, but after careful calculation, he couldn't tell what was wrong. At least on the surface, everything was not much different from before. He was still the same every day. Follow Su He to read and practice calligraphy, hang out in the imperial garden, and occasionally show his face in the morning.

Even Chen Yuan was almost the same as before. After learning that Princess Yongning was pregnant, he was as excited as all the men in the world who were about to become fathers. He spent more time in the mansion with his wife and her The child in her stomach didn't even seem to care much about court affairs, so she became extremely low-key.

As for whether Chen Yuan had any other thoughts or plans, Fu Yu would naturally not know, of course even if he knew, even if Chen Yuan stood in front of him and told him clearly, I want This throne, even if I want your life, there is nothing he can do.It's better than Fu Yusu's thinking, since he has no way to speculate on Chen Yuan's thoughts, he simply doesn't think about it anymore, why bother to worry himself for nothing.

But he can ignore Chen Yuan's thoughts, but he has no way to ignore Cang Lin who gets along with him day and night.In fact, if you want Fu Yu to really tell about the changes in Cang Lin, Fu Yu won't be able to tell.In fact, Cang Lin is still as taciturn as ever, the way the two get along has always been him talking, Cang Lin listens, and occasionally responds, so there is actually no big difference now.

But when he turned his head occasionally, he could always find Cang Lin looking at him with a look he couldn't understand, and when Fu Yu met his gaze, he looked away as if nothing had happened.In addition, Cang Lin seems to be closer to him, the two of them used to get along day and night, but now they are almost inseparable.In the early dynasties, Cang Lin always waited outside the hall. Recently, Cang Lin followed Fu Yu directly into the hall without making a sound. Fortunately, Chen Yuan didn't seem to be in the mood to care about these trivial matters, and he didn't take advantage of it. Fu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Yu once tried to chat with Cang Lin, but Cang Lin always acted like he didn't know what he was talking about, which made Fu Yu wonder if he really thought too much, so he had to put all doubts away. Pressed in the bottom of my heart, I was quickly distracted by other things.

The weather is still hot. Since the beginning of summer, there has not been a drop of rain in the capital. Fuyu may not feel much in the imperial city, but it is miserable for the people in the capital, especially those in the fields. The crops have gradually dried up due to lack of water. If things go on like this, it will inevitably affect this year's autumn harvest. At that time, there will be no grain harvest, and the people will have no food to eat. The consequences will be disastrous.

Drought has always been a major event that cannot be ignored in the past dynasties, especially this time it happened in the capital city. There have been rumors among the people that it has not rained for a long time, and then spread to the imperial city. Finally, one day in the early morning, someone wrote a letter, Because there has been no rain in the capital for a long time, people complained everywhere. I hope that Fuyu can go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain and benefit the people in the capital.

This remonstrance was echoed by the courtiers, and finally even Chen Yuan said lightly: "The minister seconded the proposal." Fu Yu never had the right to refuse, so he could only order the chief of ceremonies to start preparing for the sacrifice to heaven, and then looked at the following with different expressions The official yawned, but when he turned his face to the side, he found that Cang Lin, who had been quietly standing behind him, had a particularly dignified expression.

The entire morning court finally only decided on one matter of offering sacrifices to heaven, which is actually very rare. After all, the previous morning courts were basically just routines, and the government affairs were all in the hands of Chen Yuan, and there was nothing to discuss.

After the court was over, Fu Yu led Cang Lin and the two out of the Hall of Martial Arts and headed towards Changle Palace. Cang Lin walked in front. Fu Yu stared at his back for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with you?" ?”

Cang Lin paused, turned around to look at him, there was actually a little smile on his lips: "What's wrong?"

Fu Yu's gaze fell on his seemingly calm eyes, and she raised her hand to pinch his face: "From the very beginning, I've always been preoccupied."

Cang Lin let Fu Yu pinch his face with a good temper, without dodging.He wanted to tell Fu Yu that he suspected that the sacrifice to heaven was actually a conspiracy, just to lure Fu Yu out of the heavily guarded imperial city and get rid of him.However, facing Shang Fuyu's eyes full of doubts, he couldn't say anything.

Fu Yu is far smarter and more sensitive than he imagined. Although he has tried his best to keep his face during this period, it still arouses Fu Yu's doubts to some extent.If he speaks out his conjecture, Fu Yu will definitely doubt him.More importantly, even if Fu Yu believed his words, it was of no use, because whether to go to sacrifice to heaven was never something that Fu Yu could decide.

Cang Lin was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly: "I didn't sleep well this morning, I just can't cheer up."

Fu Yu looked at him suspiciously for a while, but couldn't see any clues anymore, so she could only put her arms around his shoulders: "Then go back to the palace and have a good rest."

Cang Lin slightly lowered his eyes, nodded and said: "Okay."

Since there was an early court today, Su He did not enter the palace, so it was rare for him to be free for most of the day.As soon as Cang Lin entered the door, Fu Yu rushed him back to take a rest on the couch. Fu Yu sat down next to him with a book in his hand, while reading the book, while listening to the shallow breathing of the person next to his pillow, he felt extra at ease.Unknowingly, sleepiness hit, Fu Yu yawned, lay down next to Cang Lin, and fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Cang Lin, who was supposed to be sound asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. He turned his head to look at Fu Yu, got out of bed lightly, and slipped out of the hall.

Sure enough, as he expected, Xun Cheng was waiting for him outside the hall.

Since that day, Xun Cheng seemed to have become extraordinarily busy, not to mention that he seldom appeared in Changle Palace during the day, even the meeting with Cang Lin at night was canceled for a long time.Cang Lin vaguely knew what this person was busy with in his heart, but he couldn't stop him.Unexpectedly, just after returning to Changle Palace, I was surprised to find that this person was standing at the gate of the palace looking at me with a half-smile, and I knew that this person had something to say to me, so I patiently waited until Fuyu fell asleep, and finally I touched it out.

The guards outside the gate of Changle Palace have long been missing, and Xun Cheng will always arrange everything as it should. Cang Lin suppressed the smile on his face, walked in front of him, and Xun Cheng slightly curled his lips: "Long time no see." Ah, I heard you've been very busy these days?"

Cang Lin raised his eyes slowly, looked at Xun Cheng, and forced the corners of his mouth to twitch: "Aren't you busy too?"

The corners of Xun Cheng's mouth curled up: "I've always been busy, haven't I?" Speaking of this, his eyes froze on Cang Lin's face, and after a long while, he said slowly, "Are you planning to stay with the little emperor? Do you think that if you are present, I or He Hongyi can show mercy to the little emperor?"

Cang Lin smiled and shook his head: "I said that day that I would not interfere with your plan or make things difficult for you, but I will always have my own way to protect him."

Xun Cheng tilted his head, as if he thought it was a little funny, but he still nodded: "That's good." After finishing speaking, he shrugged his shoulders, "You also know that I have been very busy these days, and now I am finally free. After a while, I plan to go back and take a nap, just like the little emperor who slept soundly inside."

Cang Lin frowned, looked back subconsciously, and said suddenly: "You made the decision at court today?"

Xun Cheng blinked: "You think so highly of me?"

Cang Lin lowered his eyes: "You have been by Chen Yuan's side for many years, and you must have someone you know well in the court. Even if it wasn't you, He Hongyi has been in the court for many years, and you will always have your own connections."

Xun Cheng smiled: "Even if I have the ability to make people encourage the little emperor to leave the imperial city to worship the heavens outside the city, after all, I have no ability to make the capital dry for so many days, can I?"

Cang Lin clenched his lower lip slightly, and said firmly, "So, it's this time, isn't it?"

The smile on Xun Cheng's face faded a little, and he made a silent gesture towards him: "I won't interfere with you, and you won't interfere with me either." Speaking of this, he seemed to think about it, "Why don't you let this matter go away?" How about treating it as another test for you? It just looks like you can't afford to lose this time."

Cang Lin felt his throat choked slightly, he and Xun Cheng looked at each other for a while, and then slowly said: "I know you want to get rid of Chen Yuan, and you can pay any price for it, but since that day I have been I want to ask you, don't you think Fu Yu is innocent?"

The smile on Xun Cheng's face disappeared without a trace, and there was even a trace of chill in his eyes. He stared at Cang Lin for a long time, and finally said: "This has nothing to do with you. You should think about how to keep the little emperor's ears. die."

After speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

Cang Lin stood on the spot, staring at his retreating back, frowning tightly, and after a long while, he turned his head and returned to the hall.

The hall was still very quiet, Cang Lin had a vague feeling that something seemed wrong, and when he entered inside, he found that there was no one on the couch, Cang Lin was stunned, and turned his head only to find that Fu Yu had woken up at some point, and at this moment Standing by the open window in a daze.

Cang Lin frowned slightly, and asked softly, "Woke up so soon?"

Fu Yu seemed to be taken aback by his voice, turned around and yawned, with sleepiness remaining in her eyes, and complained: "Why did you get up? I just turned over and fell directly under the bed, and I didn't see you when I woke up." , and let the wind blow by the window."

Cang Lin looked at him for a while, then smiled: "I just went to take a pee, and you can actually fall out of bed?"

Fu Yu rubbed her eyes and muttered, "It's not my fault."
