They all say I'm a puppet

After all, Fu Yu grew up in the palace, and he has that kind of restless personality, running around all day long, and he is most familiar with those corners and alleys.He lifted the hem of his clothes that had been dragged to the ground, and led Xun Cheng around various inaccessible paths, and after a while, he saw the gate of Changle Palace.

After entering the door, Fuyu realized that he had only been away for half a day. There seemed to be something different about this Changle Palace. Several servants came out to greet him, bowing and saluting: "See Your Majesty."

Fu Yu slowly let go of the hand holding the hem of his clothes. He turned around in a daze and wanted to ask Xun Cheng what was going on here, but found that the man had disappeared when he reached the gate of the palace, so he had to bite the bullet and turn to those few. Waiter: "Who are you?"

The leader bowed his head and said respectfully: "The servants and servants are sent by the Empress Dowager to serve Your Majesty."

Fu Yu has never been served by anyone since he was so old. Even Cheng Zhong took care of him more. Facing these servants, he didn't know how to respond for a while, so he just nodded and walked slowly. Walk in, raising your hand to pull the crown on the top of your head as you walk.

The servant who spoke just now seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, let this servant change your clothes for you."

Fu Yu slowly lowered the hand raised above his head, he turned his head to look at the servant, and finally nodded: "Okay."

It can be seen that these servants have been specially trained, with careful movements and quick hands and feet, they quickly helped Fu Yu change into a red-yellow emperor's uniform, and brought a cup of tea that seemed to have been prepared in front of Fu Yu: " Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Fu Yu frowned and took the teacup. Before it could be delivered to his lips, the palace door suddenly opened from the outside, and Chen Yuan walked in. His eyes fell on Fu Yu first, and then glanced at the servants. : "It seems that the Empress Dowager's actions are very quick, and she sent people over so quickly. It's also good, this Changle Palace is the emperor's bedroom after all, and there must be a few caring people to wait on you when you leave."

Several servants lowered their heads and did not dare to respond, Chen Yuan was not annoyed, he raised his eyes and saw the teacup in Fuyu's hand, and took it over: "I just drank wine at the banquet, and I happened to be thirsty. , I will drink it first, Your Majesty doesn't mind?"

Fu Yu shook his head hastily: "Uncle, please have some tea."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a little smile. He held the teacup in front of him, first sniffed it lightly, and then took a shallow sip. His brows were slightly frowned, and he groaned with obvious dissatisfaction: "What kind of tea is this?"

The waiter who had been standing aside waiting to be served hastily replied: "My lord, yes, it is Yunwu tea."

"Cloud and mist tea?" Chen Yuan frowned, as if he was recalling something, and then said slowly, "I remembered, the late emperor seemed to like drinking cloud and mist tea the most when he was here, but you remember the late emperor's preferences very clear."

"My lord, it's just that there is only this Yunwu tea in the Changle Palace for a while, and the servants came here to serve for the first time, and they haven't had time to prepare." The servant tried to explain.

"That's it," Chen Yuan said gently, "This Changle Palace is the new emperor's bedroom, and you are so negligent? It seems that the people sent by the Queen Mother are not safe." The guard behind him looked, "Where did you come from, where do you send it back, I want to tell the Queen Mother."

The servant had no time to react and was roughly grabbed by the arm. Before he could cry out for mercy, his mouth and nose were completely covered, and he was dragged out without the slightest struggle.

The bowl of Yunwu tea in Chen Yuan's hand had already been taken away. He turned his head and saw Fu Yu with a frightened expression on his face, and slightly licked the corners of his lips: "Does Your Majesty want to know what the servant did wrong?"

Fu Yu subconsciously nodded, then shook his head again, his flustered appearance seemed to please Chen Yuan, he bent his eyes, and said calmly: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly don't like Yunwu tea." , he stood up and looked around the hall, "It's like I don't like this Changle Palace."

Chen Yuan got up and walked in front of Fuyu, stretched out his hand to push away the pearls that were still covering his eyes, met those eyes that were almost tearful because of fear, and gently pinched his face: "Your Majesty today You have performed very well, it is still early, and I am in a good mood, so I might as well take your majesty to meet someone."

He only looked back, and immediately a servant stepped forward and put a fur coat on Fu Yu.No one asked the newly enthroned emperor if the new owner of Changle Palace was willing to go out with this Lord Chen, including Fuyu herself.

Fu Yu has been to many places in this palace, but there are also many places that he has never been close to.For example, Concubine Xiao’s Zhaoyang Palace, Changle Palace, the emperor’s bedroom, and Changxin Palace where they are now.

The owner of Changxin Palace is Princess Yongning, the younger sister of the first emperor.I heard that Yuankang married Zhongshu Shilang in ten years, but after only one year of marriage, the son-in-law died early due to illness, and Princess Yongning moved back to Changxin Palace until today.

Fu Yu has never met this aunt, only heard that she has a surly and withdrawn personality, stays in this Changxin Palace all day and rarely goes out, and doesn't like to be disturbed by others.So Fu Yu never got close to this Changxin Palace, lest she accidentally offend this aunt and lose her life.

So when Chen Yuan brought him directly to Changle Palace, he immediately wondered if Chen Yuan was going to use the hand of his aunt whom he had never met to get rid of him?

Fu Yu cautiously looked at Chen Yuan from the corner of his eye, but found that his expression at the moment was also extraordinarily subtle, with a bit of worry in his eyes, and a hint of hesitation or even timidity, as if he was afraid of something.Fu Yu was a little surprised. Does a person like Chen Yuan have anything to be afraid of?Or, does his aunt have any means to restrain Chen Yuan, such as military power or something else?That's why Chen Yuan brought him here to greet the eldest princess on the day the new emperor ascended the throne?

Fu Yu secretly speculated in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He followed Chen Yuan and took a few steps forward. The man suddenly stopped, looked back at Fu Yu, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know this?" Who lives in Changxin Palace?"

Fu Yu shook his head: "Zhen, I grew up in the cold palace, so I don't know much about the situation in the palace."

Chen Yuan lowered his eyes and said slowly: "The owner of this Changxin Palace is His Majesty's aunt, Princess Yongning, and she can be regarded as His Majesty's only relative in this world."

Fu Yu bit her lip, and nodded with a vague understanding.He naturally knew the relationship between Princess Yongning and himself, but he didn't know what Chen Yuan meant by mentioning this at the moment. He would not naively believe that Chen Yuan suddenly lost his mind and felt sympathy for their weak-blooded Fu family. .

Chen Yuan raised his eyes and stared at the plaque of Changxin Palace for a while, then said softly: "Your Majesty, let's go in."

"it is good."

Someone should have reported the new emperor's arrival, but no one came out to pick him up after entering the palace gate. What was even more surprising was that Chen Yuan didn't have any dissatisfaction.

All the way into the inner hall, Fu Yu saw a young woman sitting on the main seat. This woman was dressed in plain clothes, holding a book in her hand, and she was looking down intently. The sudden appearance of several people in the hall did not disturb her. she.

Chen Yuan bowed slightly: "I see Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Only then did Princess Yongning slowly raise her head, her eyes fell on Chen Yuan's head, and she froze for a moment, then she licked the corner of her lips lightly: "Master Chen, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

There was a moment of surprise on Chen Yuan's face, and it disappeared in a flash: "I thought the eldest princess didn't want to see me."

"So what if I want to?" Princess Yongning slowly got up and walked in front of Chen Yuan, "This world is no longer our Fu family's. Master Chen has been killing people in the court, even including the royal blood. It's my turn."

"I'm terrified." Chen Yuan straightened his body and looked directly into her eyes, "The ministers who killed were all those who deceived the emperor and ignored his superiors. If they hadn't offered slander to the late emperor, why would the late emperor indulge in cultivating immortals and refining alchemy?" , and eventually died of serious illness?"

The eldest princess had an undisguised sarcasm on her face: "So, Mr. Chen has devoted himself to Nan Xia and is loyal."

"Princess praises you, I don't dare to do my best, I just do my duty." Chen Yuan grabbed Fu Yu's shoulders and pulled him in front of the eldest princess, "Your Majesty, this is your aunt, Your Highness the eldest princess. "

Fu Yu was forced to raise his head to meet the eyes of the eldest princess, only to realize that perhaps because of the blood connection, he and this aunt actually had some similarities in eyebrows and eyes. He was in a daze when Chen Yuan suddenly patted him. Arm: "Your Majesty, why don't you greet Your Highness?"

Only then did Fu Yu remember and said, "Nephew, send my aunt's greetings."

Only then did the eldest princess turn her attention to him, and raised her eyelids slightly: "Are you the son born to that palace maid of my imperial brother?"

Fu Yu lowered his head: "Yes."

The eldest princess glanced at him, then shook her head slightly: "So many people stared at that position, but unexpectedly it ended up on your head. I don't know if it's your fate or your fate." When she said this, Turning her back, "It is said that there are only two of you and me left in the royal family. As an aunt, I should be close to you. But I have already married, and I am also living here in Changxin Palace, and I am no longer the Fu family. So from now on, Your Majesty only needs to live his life well, and don't disturb my purity."

Fu Yu clenched her lower lip. He had no relatives since he was a child, so naturally he didn't expect any blood, but at this moment, he still felt a little disappointed when he heard the eldest princess's words: "Yes, aunt."

The eldest princess glanced at him for the last time, and lowered her eyes: "Forget it, I'm tired today, Mr. Chen, please go back."

Chen Yuan hooked the corner of his lips slightly, and lowered his head slightly towards the eldest princess: "Then, I will take my leave."

All the way out of Changxin Palace, Chen Yuan seemed to have returned to his original appearance, and told Fu Yu: "I have been tired for a long time today, Your Majesty should go back to rest earlier."

"Yes." Fu Yu replied softly, he hesitated for a moment, and almost summoned up all his courage before asking, "Then can I see Uncle Zhong?"

"You mean the old eunuch in the cold palace?" Chen Yuan replied, "I don't think he's too young, and I'm afraid he has more than enough energy to take care of His Majesty. The Empress Dowager has sent people to Changle Palace again. You don’t have to worry about your Majesty’s daily life.”

"But," Fu Yu swallowed, "Uncle Zhong took care of me since I was a child... I grew up, and I just got used to him."

"That's it," Chen Yuan smiled, "I see, Your Majesty should go back first."

There was a smile on Chen Yuan's face, but people couldn't help being afraid. Fu Yu bit his lip, and finally nodded: "Yes."

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with his obedience. He reached out and patted Fu Yu's head, and then glanced back at the guards: "These people are responsible for protecting His Majesty's safety. If His Majesty has something to do, just tell them. Yes." Right, Xun Cheng?"

Xun Cheng lowered his head and looked at the uppers of his shoes with a submissive look. He looked completely different from the previous few days: "Yes, my lord."

Chen Yuan looked at him intently, and waved his hands: "Then I'll be leaving. Your Majesty, see you tomorrow morning."

Subconsciously, Fu Yu stood up straight and watched Chen Yuan walk away before he let out a sigh of relief.

After being woken up early in the morning, Fu Yu was already extremely sleepy, but when he was lying on the bed, he didn't feel sleepy at all.Chen Yuan's expression was all in his mind just now, that man was too moody, which made Fuyu feel scared, he didn't know if some sentence just now had annoyed him, not only he couldn't see Uncle Zhong, he even hurt him. his life.

This kind of thought rose from his mind, and then continued to magnify. The more Fu Yu thought about it, the more afraid he got up from the bed, wishing he could run to find Chen Yuan immediately, even if he knelt on the ground and begged him, he still wanted to save Uncle Zhong. life.

Stepping on the cold bricks with his bare toes made Fuyu wake up suddenly. He stood in the middle of the ground, his eyes were full of bewilderment, let alone he didn't know where Chen Yuan was, and he couldn't even get out of the palace gate. , even if he was allowed to meet Chen Yuan, why should he persuade him?

He can't do anything, let alone save Cheng Zhong's life, he can't even decide how long he can live.

Scenes of childhood flashed before his eyes. He remembered that he went to the imperial dining room to steal food and was chased and beaten by the servants. After returning, Cheng Zhong wiped his tears quietly while wiping the medicine for him; remembering that he was sick and unconscious, Cheng Zhong knelt down Outside the gate of the Imperial Medical Office, he only hoped that a medical officer could come to save his life.

At that time, he thought, he has to grow up quickly, he has to take Zhongshu out of this indifferent imperial city before Zhongshu grows old, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and serve Zhongshu as his biological parents , let him no longer have to be bullied by others, no longer have to experience those sufferings, and let him live his life.

Once he thought he could do it, but now everything is over.

The palace door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, Fu Yu subconsciously turned her head and saw Cheng Zhong poking in cautiously, and when she saw Fu Yu, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, Your Highness, it's very frosty today, why are you barefooted?" standing on the ground?"

Fu Yu stared blankly at Cheng Zhong, tears rolled out of his eyes the next moment, he rushed over regardless, and hugged Cheng Zhong, all the panic, helplessness, and even despair in the past few days came to his heart at this moment , He buried his face on Cheng Zhong's shoulder, and released all his weakness.

Cheng Zhong hasn't seen Fuyu like this for many years. This child is precocious and restrained, never showing his weak and helpless side.But after all, he is only a 14-year-old boy. Even if he is not around, Cheng Zhong can still know how many things he has experienced these days.

But he was just an old eunuch after all.

Cheng Zhong sighed silently, patted Fu Yu's back lightly to comfort him, and at the same time comforted him in a soft voice: "Your Highness, it's cold on the ground, can this old slave help you back to the bed?"

Seeing that Cheng Zhong was fine, Fu Yu let go of almost all the worries in his heart. After he released these undisguisedly, he felt that the big rock that had been accumulated in his heart had also been removed, and his mood improved a lot. .He raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, let his breathing calm down, pulled Cheng Zhong to sit down on the bed, showed a rare expression of embarrassment, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Zhong, why are you here?" ?”

Cheng Zhong stuffed Fu Yu into the quilt, found a sleeve stove and stuffed it together to warm Fu Yu's feet.Although Chen Yuan was cruel and moody, he would not treat Fu Yu, the king of a country, harshly in daily life. In all fairness, their current environment is many times better than it was back then.

If not life is in the hands of others.

Warmth rose from the soles of his feet, and a smile finally appeared on Fuyu's face, which had collapsed for a few days. Cheng Zhong took his arm and looked up and down to make sure that he was fine before he felt relieved: "It's the old slave who has no ability. Let Your Highness suffer for the past few days."

Fu Yu took Cheng Zhong's rough hand: "Uncle Zhong, how are you these days? Have they treated you harshly?"

Cheng Zhong smiled and shook his head: "Everyone in the palace is very busy, how can I have time to take care of me? It's just that they are not allowed to go out, and someone will deliver three meals a day. Apart from worrying about His Highness, the old servant is doing well. .”

Fu Yu carefully looked at Cheng Zhong, and after confirming that he was fine, he was relieved, slowly lay down, curled himself up under the quilt, only showing half of his face, and whispered: "Uncle Zhong, that Chen Yuan..." Fu Yu paused slightly when he mentioned his name, "Is it true that no one cares about him?"

"Master Chen, he..." Cheng Zhong looked around and lowered his voice, "He was originally a minister, but the late emperor ignored the government affairs, and most of the government affairs were on his head, so he formed his own power. But he still lacks a little prestige in the army. After all, most of Nanxia's military power is in the hands of General He Hongyi of Shangzhu Kingdom, and General He has been stationed in the northwest all year round. Having no time to take care of the capital, Mr. Chen seized this opportunity and seized power in one fell swoop, taking advantage of Empress Dowager Xiao's mother and son not being relied upon."

"He Hongyi?" Fu Yu repeated, "Uncle Zhong, what do you mean, after this General He has finished taking care of the war in the Northwest, Chen Yuan will definitely not be able to make it easier in the future, right?"

Cheng Zhong hesitated for a while, and finally just sighed: "Who can tell clearly the thoughts of these powerful officials and generals?"

Fu Yu's eyes flickered, and suddenly he sat up on the bed: "Anyway, as long as they can fight, it's fine. As long as they fight, the capital will definitely be in chaos, and then we can take the opportunity to escape."

Cheng Zhong showed undisguised surprise on his face: "Your Highness, do you still want to escape?"

Fu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't you run away? Anyway, now that you are by my side, I don't have any weaknesses in the hands of that surnamed Chen, so I just listen to the words and fool him for a while, regardless of whether General He will fight or not. Come back, as long as I find a chance, I will definitely take you out of the imperial city."
