Fu Yanqing looked at her with some confusion: "An...Zi Yan, I said last night that you don't need to do anything for me, and don't sacrifice anything for me. If you don't want to do that, I will do it again. I won't mention..."

"You called me An'er last night." Zhao Ziyan looked up at her as if he didn't hear what she said behind her, and said softly.

"You're too old now, so it's not suitable." A blush appeared on Fu Yanqing's calm face. Although it was very faint, it fell into Zhao Ziyan's eyes.

Fu Yanqing frowned after finishing speaking: "Did you listen to what I said?"

Zhao Ziyan stood up and looked at her seriously: "I want to do it for you. Do you know that the most painful thing for people is not doing what they don't want to do, but not knowing what to do. Since you appeared, I have felt It turns out that I am not the only one living alone, I also have friends, some people love me, some people pity me. From then on, I have something I want to do, and that is to make you happy, so I don’t have to fight with them all day long.”

After she finished speaking, she took a breath and laughed at herself: "Actually, I wanted to keep you at that time. If I could protect you, you would not leave. But I can't, I can't do anything, I can only watch It was a terrible feeling to see you go away. Now that you are back, there is no way for me to repeat the same mistakes."

Fu Yanqing's heart was full of emotions. The scene of leaving the palace was replayed in his mind again. At that time, those eyes were full of pain and helplessness just like now.

"Is it worth it?"

Zhao Ziyan pursed her lips and smiled: "Whether it's worth it, time will tell me."

Fu Yanqing lowered her eyes and remained silent. In fact, in her previous generation, she felt that the people of the Zhao family were very similar.No matter how different their personalities are, the same blood really flows in their bones.They are intelligent and strategic, but also fickle and suspicious.

In the past, Emperor Jing fought north and south with her father, and that friendship was envied by many people in the court.But once he ascended the throne, everything changed.

The friendship between her and Zhao Mojian for so many years, even if she took advantage of it, but she devoted herself wholeheartedly, is it really worthless?It's just that she misses the emperor's honor even more.

What about Zhao Ziyan?It's true that she really believed her, but she didn't believe her either.After experiencing so much, how can she be an innocent person.She is moved and distressed by everything she has done for her now, but she is always afraid in her heart.People are greedy, it's great, and they can't help but rely on it, but once they lose it, the pain they get will be repaid a hundred times.

The reason why she hesitated to support Zhao Ziyan was partly because of distress, but also because of fear. Zhao Ziyan has invested too much emotion now.If she really wanted the throne, according to her character, it would not be difficult for her to retire from the Southwest Palace and live in seclusion.She can also go all out, stick to her duty, and help her sincerely.

But from the night they met again, she knew that there was no way to have a pure transaction between her and Zhao Ziyan.She couldn't use the so-called helping her ascend the throne to respond to everything she gave.

Zhao Ziyan saw that she was silent all the time, with a haze between her brows, feeling a little helpless in her heart.Why didn't she understand that Fu Yanqing didn't want to owe her a debt. In this world, the easiest thing to settle is the conflict of interests, and the hardest thing to pay back is love.

She lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly. Originally, she knew Fu Yanqing too well, thinking that only by deepening these ties, could she occupy an irreplaceable position in her heart, but now it seemed that it made her difficult.

Taking a breath, Zhao Ziyan raised his eyebrows and smiled recklessly, and said casually: "Besides, how do you know that I don't like that position?"

Fu Yanqing was taken aback for a moment, looking at the sharp man in his eyes, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses, killing them. One sentence determines a person's life. My identity and status are not up to me. I am both of the royal blood, but because he favors the seventh emperor sister, I am So I can only linger under her hands. You should understand that if she is the last one to ascend the throne, I can only live like this forever. It is true to help you, but it is true to want it."

"But what about you that night?" Fu Yanqing asked her with a complicated expression.

"I didn't expect you to choose me. Besides, people change." It meant that it was just her testing.

Fu Yanqing stared at her suddenly, and frowned.

Zhao Ziyan didn't care, and continued: "However, even if you really chose Brother Elder Emperor, you would change your mind in the future."

Zhao Ziyan looked at her with scorching eyes, his firm tone and flamboyant expression made Fu Yanqing feel so truly that it was not Zhao Qi'an in front of her, but the Ninth Highness Zhao Ziyan.

Fu Yanqing straightened his expression, and after a long time said softly: "Okay."

Seeing her like this, Zhao Ziyan hooked his lips and smiled: "Then, now, would you like to have dinner with me?"

Fu Yanqing's eyes fell on the table, and she smiled faintly: "It seems that you have been listening here for a long time before."

Zhao Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he just raised his voice: "Go and prepare a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and make another mandarin duck cake."

Fu Yanqing turned her head to look at her, and also said to the other side of the courtyard wall: "Luoyin, lunch is not necessary."

Luoyin and the others were waiting there nervously, when they heard Fu Yanqing's words, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Just now when Fu Yanqing fell down, he made a gesture to let them push away the servants around him, and what the next two people said on the opposite side surprised several people.It turned out that the master took a fancy to the Ninth Prince who had such a weak sense of existence.

Fu Yang couldn't help but think of Fu Yanqing's expression when he asked her to inquire about His Highness the Ninth Prince, and he immediately understood.I heard that when the master has been paying attention to the movements of the capital these years, he has always specially asked to pay more attention to two people, one is His Highness the Seventh Highness, and the other, I am afraid it is this person.It's just that the relationship between these two people is so good, and she knows the biggest secret of the master?

Wu Yan squinted his eyes, His Highness the Ninth Prince?Thinking of the appearance of that Highness when the two parted that day, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, so it went much smoother, that Highness was by no means an ordinary person.

Zhao Ziyan ate very politely, seemingly in a slow manner, but the speed was not slow, and he didn't pick the food on the table, except for serving Fu Yanqing, he was basically eating.

By the time Fu Yanqing ate half of it, Zhao Ziyan had already finished a bowl.She didn't talk too much while eating, but at the end, Fu Yanqing roughly counted, Zhao Ziyan probably ate four bowls?

Zhao Ziyan watched Fu Yanqing hold up the chopsticks, and looked at himself with his mouth slightly open, then stopped the chopsticks.Wei Wei pursed her lips shyly: "I haven't eaten much in the past few days. Seeing you makes me happy, so I ate more."

Fu Yanqing lowered her head and pretended to be eating, but Zhao Ziyan saw her slightly trembling shoulders, and the smile in her eyes grew stronger.Although she was a little embarrassed, it was good for her to be happy.

"I'm telling the truth, you are more delicious than the food in my house."

"Spoof, do you still want to eat?" Fu Yanqing took her bowl, looked at it, and then said, "No, you just had a bad cough, so don't eat too much, drink some soup will be better."

Zhao Ziyan looked at her with a dazed expression. This kind of Fu Yanqing seemed to be the same as when he was in the palace, always showing her thoughtfulness unintentionally.

"What are your current plans? Is it still the treasure of Emperor Yong?"

Fu Yanqing nodded: "It's just one of what I got that day, but it's not the real thing."

Zhao Ziyan frowned, the parchment in Zhao Mojian's hand, she only found out recently that Fu Yanqing was far away in Dali, and how did she know about the parchment in Zhao Mojian's mansion, and Zhao Mojian's mansion is so complicated, How can she get through without any mistakes?

Sighing in her heart, she said softly, "Jin'er, how much do you know about Yongdi's treasure?"

Fu Yanqing's eyes slanted: "What did you call me?"

But Zhao Ziyan asked knowingly: "Is this not good? Now that you have changed your identity, you will naturally not be able to call Qing'er, and sister, although you are older than me, you must be suspicious of calling your sister. Miss Su, you just got angry , it’s definitely not good, I don’t like the others, but Jin’er is the best, what do you think?”

Fu Yanqing said a little sullenly: "You've finished talking, what else can I say."

Zhao Ziyan lowered her head and smiled lightly, most of the sickness in her eyes was dispelled, if it wasn't for her pale face, she wouldn't have been able to see that she just vomited blood just now.

"You vomited blood just now." It was not a question, but a certainty.Fu Yanqing didn't intend to let her go. This little guy didn't cherish herself since she was a child. She couldn't help herself before, but now that she's here, she can't be allowed to be like this.

When she saw Zhao Ziyan's expression was slightly stiff, she frowned and said, "If you don't tell me, I won't force you, but I will call for a doctor right away. If I see that your complexion is still this bad, I'll call for you, understand?"

Zhao Ziyan, who froze for a moment, burst out laughing: "Okay, don't be so serious, I've grown up, and you're still bluffing me like you were when you were a child."

Fu Yanqing turned his eyes away and snorted softly: "Let's talk about the business first. The Yongdi treasure has been passed down for nearly a hundred years. The founding empress tried to send people to find it. It's just that the current situation was turbulent at that time, and the surrounding countries were covetous. It was put on hold. Since then, all the kings of Daxia have searched more or less, but they have all returned without success. Until the time when His Majesty ascended the throne, several parties intended to rebel, and inadvertently set off the secret of Yongdi's treasure again. His Majesty put down the rebellion, I accidentally found the treasure scroll drawn by Emperor Yong when he buried the treasure, but this part is too small to be of much value, and I don’t know how many parts there should be, so in the end it was only kept in His Majesty’s private treasury.”

Zhao Ziyan nodded: "That's right, there are a lot of folk rumors about Yongdi's treasure. Although there is no place to verify it, from the royal family's attention to Yongdi's treasure, the so-called gold that suppresses the dragon veins, and the weapons of the Xuanjia army at that time And the formation diagram, it should be true."

Fu Yanqing lowered her eyelids slightly, it was indeed true, otherwise she would not have thought of finding it.In the last life, Zhao Mojian almost succeeded more than half of it. As for what happened later... She looked up at Zhao Ziyan, probably she was the one who got it.

"As for how many treasure scrolls there are, I once saw a Yongdi Benji in Zangshuge, which recorded a piece of unofficial history, 'Emperor Mengchen ran around, with five fierce generals under his command, protecting the emperor to Shu, stationing troops and making weapons. Shi Xuanjia Wei, the world calls him brave. In five years, the rebels surrounded and wiped out the country, the emperor collapsed, five generals died, and the rest fled westward with Prince Shang. , and then the lords separatist regimes, once someone used the banner of the prince merchant to occupy the land of Shu, and excavated it wantonly, but returned in vain."

Fu Yanqing's eyes flickered slightly: "That is to say, Emperor Yong knew that Li Yuanchang could not be stopped at the beginning, but he was not reconciled to this defeat. The accumulation of Shu in the past five years cannot be underestimated. At that time, he could not take it away, so he could only hide it. But at that time the prince Shang is young, and he may not be able to escape successfully, and if someone rebels, he can only take advantage of Li Yuanchang, so it is the safest way to draw the treasures on the map and disperse them, although it is difficult for oneself."

Zhao Ziyan smiled slightly: "This is in line with Emperor Yong's temperament. If it is correct, the people that Emperor Yong can trust are most likely the three surviving generals, so it is estimated that there are at least three."

"Zhao Mojian must have a copy. As for Your Majesty's share, it must be in her pocket." Fu Yanqing looked calm and raised his brows slightly.

Zhao Ziyan looked at her softly: "Nothing can be hidden from you, as you said, she has already got the copy."

Fu Yanqing raised her eyes to look at her, there seemed to be a hint of pampering in the softness, so she didn't know where to look, so she could only lower her head and eat the almost empty mandarin duck cake.

Seeing how much she ate, Zhao Ziyan asked in a low voice: "How does it taste? I went to the imperial kitchen to ask the imperial chef to learn how to cook it. Although it wasn't made by the imperial chef in the imperial kitchen, I have practiced for a long time. The taste is very close, I don’t know if it suits you.”

Fu Yanqing felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Although Zhao Ziyan loved to eat mandarin duck cakes when he was young, he would never ask these questions out of greed.As for the plate of snacks just now, she only moved a piece.So, why bother so much?
