life in a hurry

Chen Feiqing hurried back to the capital, and when he rode his horse past An Guohou's mansion, he didn't even bother to stop, and drove straight towards the palace.

Many people gathered around the emperor's bedroom, and after seeing Chen Feiqing, they breathed a sigh of relief, and told him in a low voice: "Fortunately, the emperor is blessed, he has improved a lot, and he is gradually recognizing people, so you don't have to worry too much. "

Chen Feiqing nodded, but she was still uneasy. Just as she was about to go in, she saw a beautifully dressed woman coming out of the room surrounded by maids. She was the empress dowager, the emperor's biological mother.The queen mother is middle-aged, but her face is well maintained and her beauty is eye-catching.

Chen Feiqing and others hurriedly saluted her.

The queen mother had been with the emperor all day, and at this moment she was a little tired and said: "Get up. The emperor just drank the medicine and finally fell asleep. Don't wake him up."

Everyone said yes.

The queen mother said kindly to Chen Feiqing: "Feiqing rushed all the way back to the capital. He must be tired. He must take a bath and have a meal before accompanying the emperor. The emperor grew up with you since childhood. You are not a brother, but you are better than a brother. I've always missed you too."

However, Chen Feiqing replied: "The emperor's sudden illness is a bit strange."

The queen mother nodded: "The Ai family also thinks so, and it has already been investigated."

The two exchanged a few words, and the queen mother was helped back.

Chen Feiqing looked at her back, only feeling some strange feelings.

The Empress Dowager was a radiant and peerless beauty when she was young, she was not docile and timid like ordinary women, but quite capable, which was why the late Emperor favored her even more.Chen Feiqing went in and out of the palace with the emperor who was still the prince at that time, and often saw the queen mother.The Empress Dowager was only a noble concubine at that time, but because of the vacancy of the empress dowager, she ruled the harem logically, and she was very aggressive.

But now, she is gradually getting old, and her makeup can't hide her haggardness and fatigue, which is different from that year.Maybe it's because she has put too much effort into it, but she has worked hard for her only son, from being the crown prince to the crown prince later on, and then worrying about the emperor's health.

Chen Feiqing sighed sympathetically, followed the eunuch to bathe and change clothes in the warm pavilion, and used some cakes sent by the eunuch, and then accompanied the emperor to read a book quietly in front of the sick bed.

In the evening, the emperor finally woke up, turned his head to look at Chen Feiqing who was shrouded in the setting sun by the window, and called softly: "Your brother."

Chen Feiqing was startled, then got up and walked to the bed, squatted down and said softly: "I am Feiqing."

The emperor's expression gradually darkened, and he said after a while: "I dreamed about the emperor and the emperor again."

It is said that the first emperor's sons were weak, but in fact there were several princes, but some died unexpectedly, some died young, and the remaining prince was also left with a lifelong cold syndrome due to falling into the pond.

Chen Feiqing looked at him very gently, and persuaded: "The emperor should not think too much when he is recuperating."

The emperor asked: "How about your search for someone? Do you have a clue?"

Chen Feiqing supported him on the soft pillow, and said: "I followed the clues given by the emperor to look for it. There was indeed a woman named Bai Piaopiao in Suzhou, but she left Suzhou 17 years ago and went north. I want to find someone, but I didn’t leave any other words. Lu Ding also asked in the flower street in the capital, but he didn’t know about Bai Piaopiao.”

The emperor closed his eyes and said: "You must find her out. I know my body better than anyone else. I'm getting worse every day. I'm trying to hang on to my life. If I don't have time to have an heir, I won't do anything wrong to implicate others." A woman. Once I die and the throne hangs in the air, it will be an unwarranted disaster. The queen mother is already looking for the children of the clan family. She has been so strong all her life, and she will never let the power fall into the hands of others, but the dictatorship of foreign relatives has never had good results Eating will only arouse the disgust of the courtiers, and I actually don't want her to have a miserable evening.

At that time, the father stayed with Bai Piaopiao in Suzhou for several months, and indeed left behind a child, but at that time, due to some accidents, the father did not let someone take the child into the palace, and later the father asked someone to find it, I can't find it anymore.Before his death, my father kept telling me that he was my only real younger brother, and I must keep him.Feiqing, the queen mother may notice it sooner or later, maybe she has already noticed it, we must find her before she does.I was worried about telling you about this matter from the people around me, and I happened to feel unwell, so I had to make a bad move to call you back. "

The emperor finished speaking in one breath, and couldn't help coughing again, out of breath, his face was as white as a piece of paper.

Chen Feiqing knew the emperor's temperament. The emperor was gentle and kind since he was a child, and he was very emotional. Since he agreed to the late emperor, he really wanted to do it with all his might.

It's just that the sea of ​​people is vast, and so many years have passed, and the place of fireworks is even more chaotic. It's not easy to find someone.

But he had no choice but to comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Now that I have reached an agreement with the little prince, and there is King Ning sitting in the frontier fortress, I think nothing will happen for the time being. I will stay in the capital to find someone for now. That Bai Piao Piao If you came to the capital with your child, maybe you changed your name and surname. Although it is difficult to find, it is not a clueless thing. The big deal is to ask them one by one, and ask those old bustards who are about the same age. A child is not common in pornography. But I think, maybe she may also be good, which is more troublesome."

The emperor nodded, thought for a while, and then said: "Tell me, what will my younger brother look like. If he has been growing up in such a place..."

Chen Feiqing suddenly thought of Fu Nansheng, shook his head, and said, "We don't have to think about the worst. That Bai Piao Piao was an innocent girl who sold herself to the emperor when she met the emperor. After all, she was a rich girl who was trafficked by the government. I think After that, I'm afraid she won't be willing to degenerate for the sake of her children."

Chen Feiqing thought that Chairman Fu Nansheng was crooked like before, all of them were raised by his mother.It's hard to find another mother like Fu Nansheng's mother in this world.This can also be encountered by Fu Nansheng, which is really embarrassing.But Fu Nansheng is really rebellious, and any bad things can happen, so he really should go to the temple to worship.

The emperor asked worriedly: "How can she survive as a woman with a child alone?"

Chen Feiqing reassured him: "There is always another way. As long as a person lives, he will not be poor to death no matter what."

The emperor said again: "I don't know what his temperament is, but it would be best if he can be like you."

Chen Feiqing couldn't help laughing: "What's so good about being like me?"

The emperor said: "There is nothing wrong with being like you."

Chen Feiqing said: "Yes, there is nothing wrong with me, but when I think about it, there is nothing very good."

The emperor smiled and said: "This is the best way, to be open and happy, the father must also hope that the emperor will live such a life, if it is not that I am not up to date, I would like to let the emperor be a rich and idle person, it would be the best. Unfortunately, I am a useless brother."

Fu Nansheng waited in the frontier for a month, and Chen Feiqing only sent a message back once, saying that he was staying in the capital for urgent matters and asked Lu Ding to take responsibility for him so don't take the opportunity to be lazy.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

After reading it, Lu Ding crumpled up the note and threw it in the tent, then turned around and went out to eat.

Unexpectedly, Fu Nansheng came in quietly, picked up the ball of paper from the ground, unfolded it carefully, and rubbed it with his fingers.

"what are you doing?"

Fu Nansheng's back stiffened, he quickly crumpled the note back into a ball, held it in his palm, got up and turned around, and smiled at Lu Ding who had gone and returned: "I was recuperating here with you earlier, and I caused you a lot of trouble, so I will give you a lot of trouble." I want to help tidy up, disperse the medicine, and change the bedding."

Lu Ding looked at him, and also smiled: "I'm not as expensive as elder brother, so don't worry about throwing it away, let's have dinner together."

Fu Nansheng nodded and walked past Lu Ding, but Lu Ding suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

Lu Ding narrowed his eyes and smiled: "What are you holding in your hand?"

Fu Nansheng remained silent.

Lu Ding opened his hand, took out the ball of paper, unfolded it, and looked at it. He couldn't help being startled. After a while, he looked at Fu Nansheng in surprise, and asked, "What are you doing with this?"

Fu Nansheng said: "I was just about to clean it up for you. When I saw you throw it on the ground, I thought I didn't want it, so I planned to take it out and throw it away. You always like to throw things around in a mess."

Lu Ding did have this problem, he was not very clean, but he would never believe Fu Nansheng's words at this moment.

He looked at Fu Nansheng for a while, and Fu Nansheng let him look at him calmly, as if he was telling the truth.

After a while, Lu Ding hooked Fu Nansheng's shoulders with a smile, and said, "Go eat first, and then help me wash the pile of clothes after eating."

In the middle of the night, Lu Ding was lying on the bed but couldn't fall asleep. He held the ball of paper in his hand and unfolded it repeatedly. From the side with words to the side without words, he couldn't see the mystery.

He naturally didn't believe that Fu Nansheng really wanted to help him clean the house, so Fu Nansheng must have other purposes for stealing this note. What is the purpose?

If Chen Feiqing and Lu Ding want to pass on secret information, it is impossible for Lu Ding to not know it, so it is very unlikely that Fu Nansheng is trying to steal the secret.

But it's not necessarily true. It may be that Fu Nansheng thought there were secrets in it.

Not right either.

Lu Ding thought to himself, no matter what Fu Nansheng wanted, if there were secrets in it, the ghost would just throw it on the ground.

He thought over and over for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why, so he had to burn the note, and it was over.

However, even though the matter was over, he still couldn't sleep, he seemed to be holding his breath in his heart, he couldn't get along, and he couldn't get up.

Lu Ding really couldn't fall asleep, so he just got up and went to see what the hell Fu Nansheng was up to.

In the past few days, Fu Nansheng's health has almost recovered, so he moved back to Chen Feiqing's big tent in a hurry.A few guards were withdrawn outside, and only one night watchman was left, who also dozed off and was not very serious. After all, they were guarding the tent for Chen Feiqing, not for Fu Nansheng.

Lu Ding didn't wake up the dozing soldier, he jumped up and climbed up the tree without a sound, lowered his head and looked into the big tent from the rolled up curtain on the top.

There was a curtain on the top of the big tent, which was specially opened by the previous owner who liked to watch the stars at night. Later, Chen Feiqing didn't bother to mend it, saying that it was good, and he could watch the stars at night and enjoy the wind, so he didn't feel so bored.

Now, it is convenient for Lu Ding to take a peek.

Fu Nansheng was really restless, he was looking through things in Chen Feiqing's cabinet.

Lu Ding squinted his eyes to see that Fu Nansheng took Chen Feiqing's things out of the cabinet and put them on the table, touched them one by one, and put them back again.

Afterwards, Fu Nansheng opened the suitcase, took out Chen Feiqing's clothes one by one, unfolded them, refolded them one by one, and put them back one by one.

Finally, Fu Nansheng plunged into the clothes and took a long time to get up.

After Fu Nansheng got up, he picked up two more clothes and put them in his arms. He suddenly laughed, very shyly, and bowed his head to kiss.

After a while, Fu Nansheng's smile gradually disappeared, and he sat on the edge of the bed with his clothes in his arms, muttering to himself.

Lu Ding only felt a gust of night wind blowing across his back, making his hair stand on end.

He thought of Wang Shi whose whole family was killed, and also his father.

Fu Nansheng had a good night's sleep. He dreamed that Chen Feiqing was back.

Although he found that Chen Feiqing hadn't come back when he woke up, he was still very happy. He went to the warehouse to help for a while, and picked up a kitten before leaving.

I don't know how this kitten got here, it's dirty, a small ball, and it's hiding in the corner of the food and grass, humming.

In fact, Fu Nansheng didn't like kittens and puppies very much, but when he saw them today, he wanted to hug them and pet them.

He held the kitten in his arms and asked, "Where's your mother?"

The kitten snorted twice.

Fu Nansheng asked himself and answered: "It doesn't want you anymore, I want you."

The kitten snorted twice, and Fu Nansheng took it as a promise, and took it back to the big tent. He planned to take the kitten to the river to wash it up after lunch. After raising it, he would soon gain weight and gain weight. It will be fun, Chen Feiqing will definitely like it when he comes back.

Fu Nan likes to read books on weekdays, especially after Chen Feiqing left and no one cares about him, he is even more unscrupulous. He often asks someone to bring the food back, and then sits in the big tent to eat alone and read books alone. Fortunately, everyone let him go.

So when he came back with the cat in his arms, he saw that the food had been prepared and placed on the table, and he turned the plate upside down to prevent it from getting cold.

Fu Nansheng smiled, put the kitten on the ground, uncovered the plate and put it in front of the cat, put some vegetables and rice inside, and said in a low voice, "Eat."

The kitten smelled it and was hungry, so it licked it in small mouthfuls.

Fu Nansheng watched the kitten eat with great interest. After watching it for a while, he realized that his stomach had started to growl, so he picked up his chopsticks and prepared to eat too.

At this time, the kitten suddenly fell into the saucer, struggled a few times, and never moved again.

Fu Nansheng was taken aback, and hurriedly put down his chopsticks to touch the cat: "What's wrong?"

He touched blood on his hands.

Fu Nansheng looked at the dead cat in ecstasy, and felt his hands and feet were cold for a moment.

After a while, he finally came back to his senses, and looked at the bowl of food with cold eyes and fear.

Someone poisoned it.

Someone is going to kill him.

Fu Nansheng stood up suddenly, picked up the bowl of food and was about to go out, but stopped after taking two steps.

You can't just go out and tell others about it, or even throw away the food as if nothing happened.

He didn't know who the poisoner was, maybe it was someone from King Ning, or someone else, but no matter what, the enemy was in the dark and he was in the light. Maybe there was a pair of eyes watching outside the big tent at this moment. Observe his every move.

The opponent's use of poisoning instead of direct assassination proved that he was afraid and didn't dare to make a big splash, so he couldn't startle the snake.

Fu Nansheng put the food back on the table, and looked at the kitten's body again.

After thinking about it, he picked up the kitten's body and wrapped it tightly with old clothes.Then he struggled to drag Chen Feiqing's suitcase away, found tools to dig a hole on the ground, dug a deep hole, put the cat in it, filled it with soil, made old soil marks, and restored the suitcase to its original state.

After all this was done, he pulled out the dagger that Chen Feiqing had left him, and slashed fiercely on his arm. After the cut was not enough, he wanted to cut his own face again, but he hesitated for a while and couldn't do it. Finally, A cut was made in the thigh.

He wiped the blood off the dagger and hid it, opened the curtain on the big tent, pushed the food to the ground, and yelled.
