Feeling the aggressive eyes turned to him, Fu Nian hastily lowered his head again, not daring to look at each other.

shackles……

For a moment, it seemed that he was back in his previous life in Chengyuan Hall. When he was under house arrest, he was tied up like this. He was really like a dog, and he couldn't go anywhere except lying next to his owner.

Hearing the sound of metal falling to the ground from the door, Fu Nian's kneeling legs rarely trembled.

This deep-seated fear made it difficult for him to remain calm.

Feeling that Chu Chaoyi's eyes moved away, he seemed to take a step to get the shackles at the door.Fu Nian subconsciously took two steps back into the bed, ignoring that the man in front of him didn't allow him to get up.

In a daze, Fu Nian seemed to see Chu Chaoyi's gloomy face, approaching him step by step with shackles in hand, couldn't help but took two steps back, pushed the screen directly, and retreated to the window.

After realizing that the window couldn't be opened at all, his breathing became a little heavier, and the sweat on his forehead soon completely wetted his temples, and he murmured subconsciously, "Please, don't tie down your subordinates..."

"What's the matter?" Chu Chaoyi stood on the spot without moving at all, looking at his strange reaction and the stupefied state of talking to himself, and asked a little puzzled after a long while.

Only then did Fu Nian come back to his senses.

It was found that Chu Chaoyi was still standing with his hands behind his back, without any strange shackles and iron chains, and was looking at him puzzled.

Already hallucinating from fright... Fu Nian held his breath, knelt down again, looked down at the mat, and remained silent.

For so many years, in Fu Yan's impression, he has never been afraid of anything. Even if he dies, at most he would be unwilling to regret it, but he is not afraid.

In addition to feeling ashamed, Fu Nian began to examine himself, what went wrong.

"Hold, I'm sorry, I lost my temper for a while," he quickly replied, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty did violate the palace rules this time, and I know that I should be punished. For theft, don’t go out late at the curfew time, and don’t… be obsessed with such low/.riddled books. But please, Your Majesty… Hand over your subordinates to the Department of Severe Penalties, don’t, don’t tie your subordinates here " At the end, Fu Tian's voice trembled a little, and he swallowed several times after speaking.

Chu Chaoyi frowned slightly when he heard this, and the puzzlement between his brows did not decrease but increased, "Is it tied? If you do something wrong, you will be punished according to the palace rules. You are not afraid of thousands of tortures, but are you afraid of being tied here?"

Fu Nian didn't answer.

Seeing the suspicious look on Chu Chaoyi's eyebrows, he hastily looked away.

Fu Eranyi wanted to give himself two basins of water to sober up for this kind of self-reporting behavior.

"It's in Prince Xi's residence. Does King Xi often use this kind of punishment?" Chu Chaoyi asked.

"Never. His Highness Prince Xi doesn't punish his servants very much." Fu Nian hurriedly continued.

After finishing speaking, Fu Nianjiu didn't hear the person on the other side answer.

After a long time, Fu Nian saw Chu Chaoyi walk towards the threshold, picked up the chains and shackles, silently tied a chain to the thin pillar in the room, and threw the other end on the couch.But he didn't start to tie him up, nor did he call anyone.

Fu Nian didn't understand why, so he raised his head slightly.

Chu Chaoyi still had a straight face: "I have always been sympathetic to all sentient beings." After speaking, he turned his eyes to the metal shackles, and then raised his head to signal the person in front of him, "This is not an example." After speaking, Chu Chaoyi picked up the unnamed book on the couch. Book, "As for this book—I will explain it in a few days after you recover from your injury, who gave it to you, where you got it from, and whoever has this dirty thing in your hand except you."

Fu Nian was silent for a moment, thinking that the other party was asking him to put the shackles on himself, so he tremblingly picked up the shackles.

Before he could take it with him, the man in front of him hurriedly left the room and walked out quickly.

Seeing that Chu Chaoyi had left, Fu Nian loosened the handcuffs with lingering fear.

"Lian guard, are you alright?"

After a while, the voice of the medicine boy was heard.

"Very good." Fu Tian returned to his senses and replied flatly.

Yaotong looked at the shackles beside him, "Your Majesty didn't punish me this time! Instead, he rewarded me with two taels of silver! He also said that you will not be punished when you are injured, but if there is another time, you have to be chained." you……"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Fu Nian replied.

After seeing him dodging back and forth just now, Chu Chaoyi seemed to be a different person, the violence in his eyes instantly dimmed, and the emotion that replaced it was something that Fu Nian couldn't understand.

"Don't run around anymore. Your Majesty came over suddenly tonight. When I woke up and found you missing, I was so scared to death. And what kind of book are you hiding? How did you make Your Majesty so angry?"

Fu Twenty: ...

He looked at Yaotong's age, the roundness on his face hadn't faded, it was only natural that he didn't know.

"Let me know what you want to see next time, and I'll find it for you—"

"No need." Seeing Yaotong's sincere eyes, Fu Yan hurriedly interrupted, "It's not something you should know at your age. This time it's indeed my fault, and it's your fault."

After walking out of the Imperial Hospital, Chu Chaoyi handed over the volume of "Forbidden Book" that he had received to Eunuch Li, "Put it away first, and settle the score after the autumn when he recovers. Where's Little Huangshu?"

"His Majesty Ze heard that you did not allow anyone to enter, and thought you would stay for a long time, so he left first and asked the servant to tell you." After finishing speaking, Eunuch Li bravely took the hot book, and the corners of his mouth twitched. She smoked, but still put it in her arms.

Chu Chaoyi didn't respond, his narrow eyes were still downcast, his face was expressionless, and he nodded thoughtfully.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "By the way, tell Chu Yao not to kneel, and give rewards according to first-class merit."

Eunuch Li didn’t realize it, just now he said that he would punish Chu Yao, so why would he say that he would reward him now?He didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he could only say yes, "This servant will inform Lord Chu right now."

"Also, those sorcerers, alchemists, and Taoists left behind by the late emperor, that group of people who pretended to be mysteries, all recalled them back to the palace, and let them all come to see me this afternoon." Chu Chaoyi still spoke very lightly, unable to hear Without any emotion, "Eunuch Li, do you think there will be reincarnation after death?"

"Well, you have always disbelieved in gods and ghosts..." Eunuch Li remembered that Chu Chaoyi was most annoyed by these gods and gods. The first thing he did after he became the throne was to send those superstitious people out of the palace, so he couldn't help blurting out .After finishing speaking, he realized that he was talking too much, and quickly apologized, "It's a slave who talks too much..."

Chu Chaoyi was not angry about this, but his thoughts seemed to drift far away, as if he was recalling something.The loss of consciousness was fleeting, and soon his sharp eyes focused on the road in front of him, and he said softly, "It's okay, I didn't believe it at first. But now... I seem to believe it a little bit."

Fu Nian lay back on the bed, only to hear the footsteps of the crowd outside gradually receding, and he was relieved.

Watching the drug boy tidy up the screen he knocked over, close the broken window and the messed up bedding, he sighed.

Today was really unlucky. First, he was tricked by Fu Zhen, and then he met Chu Chaoyi with a forbidden book in his arms. He was almost chained to the couch like in the last life... and finally got the drug boy seriously involved.

After he recovered from his injury, he had to go to Chengyuan Palace to receive the crime of this "forbidden book" in person.

Fu Nian closed his eyes and sighed, today is simply a benchmark of shame in his career.

In the following period of time, because Fu Zhen said that he was absent due to something, and because of his deep-seated fear of shackles, it was rare for Fu Bian to lie on the couch honestly and spend day after day.

It wasn't until the bones healed and he was allowed to leave the Taiyuan Hospital that Fu Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

The right arm healed fairly well, and the nerves were not damaged. Before the Tai Hospital, Fu Yan thanked him again and again, and gave Yaotong a purse, saying that he was grateful for the care these days, and then ran out of the Tai Hospital without looking back. .

He returned to the familiar living yard, and started to pack his ashes while everyone was out on errands in the morning.

Apart from money, the most valuable thing is the materials, hidden weapons and disguise items that he found hidden in the palace in the previous life.In the end, the box was packed to the brim, and after double-checking that nothing was missing, Fu Nian put on his badge and prepared to report to Chengyuan Hall.

Just as he locked the box, Fu Yan heard a knock on the door.

"Unlocked, come in."

The door opened a crack, and seeing that it was Liandong, Fu Nian took the initiative to say, "No errands this morning?"

"Rest today. I heard that you were finally released from the Imperial Hospital, so I came to take a look. After I went to see you once, I was banned from entering the Imperial Hospital, and I went to the Criminal Division, but it's okay, check After tomorrow, His Majesty personally ordered me to be released and gave me a reward... By the way, what kind of badge did that person give you that day, and the people from the Department of Severe Penalties have been interrogating about that badge." Liandong saw him , It seems that the chatterbox can't be stopped.

interrogation?

Fu Nian was not in a hurry to answer.

On that waist card is the senior brother's handwriting, as long as you see the senior brother's handwriting, you will never forget it, and you will definitely know who the waist card is from.

Fu Nian could only tell that the relationship between senior brother and Gong Nai was subtle, but he couldn't figure out what kind of interdependent relationship it was.

There is one more thing that needs to be investigated, Fu Yan thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Fu Yan hurriedly asked pretending to be concerned, "The people from the Department of Severe Penalties didn't make things difficult for you, did they? I don't know what it is. After I received it, I was suddenly called up for questioning at night. It was also from the Department of Severe Penalties. They're all here...Anyway, in the future, if someone asks you to hand over something, don't take it, even if it's a colleague, why don't you just come to me if you want to give me something, don't you think?"

Liandong nodded, "I didn't make things difficult for me. I will know next time."

Hearing this, Fu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, gave some comforting instructions, left some money for Liandong, and told Liandong that he could go to him if there was anything to do, and then he got up and went to Chengyuan Hall.

At this hour, the atmosphere in the Chengyuan Hall was quite relaxed. It should be that Chu Chaoyi was still meeting with the ministers to discuss matters and hadn't returned to the study.

Fu Nian found the father-in-law in charge, moved all the belongings to the designated room, returned to the room where the maids usually listened to the teachings, sat at the table, and waited for the aunt to come and explain to him the palace rules and etiquette of the Chengyuan Palace.

When my aunt came, Fu Nian was really bored. He flipped through the books on the table and found that they were full of densely packed words.

After reading it for a while, Fu Nian realized that he really couldn't read it. He thought it should be a serious book, so he put it back lightly.

The place where the servants live is said to be in the Chengyuan Hall, but in fact there is still a long distance and several walls away from the main hall of the Chengyuan Hall. There is a problem with his courtiers looking up and bowing their heads.

While thinking about something, Fu Nian suddenly heard movement outside.

The window was right next to it, he carefully opened a gap and looked out.

"Hurry up, move all these waste manuscripts to burn. The incinerator is on the east side, can you do things more quickly!"

Fu Nian saw a familiar face, it seemed to be the big maid next to King Ze, her name was Lu Yi or something, anyway, Fu Nian only remembered that she was hugged and held high by Chu Chaoyi when she was a child.

"East! You said east! Your Majesty and King Ze will be back soon." After giving the order impatiently, Lu Yi glanced at the direction of the sun, and hurried out impatiently.

Waste manuscripts, incinerators...

Is there a chance to investigate, will there be an imperial decree written by Chu Chaoyi?

Thinking of this, Fu Nian didn't care that he came to listen to the palace training today, so he hurriedly got up and walked outside.

The two maids carrying the waste manuscripts were muttering in low voices.

"My aunt hasn't ordered us yet, why does she have so many things to do every day..."

"You didn't know when you first came here. Although Lu Yi is a maid next to King Ze, she is actually the half-lady of Prince Ze's mansion. She thinks it's dirty to burn waste manuscripts, so she just picks up illiterate people like us... ..."

Fu Nian followed behind them, cleared his throat, and asked as slowly as possible, "Do you need help?"

After finishing speaking, Fu Nian saw them turning their heads at the same time, and tried very hard to force out a smile.

His physical appearance was good before, and the scars from previous flesh injuries were mostly good. Although his appearance was a bit fierce, it didn't affect his good looks.

"This... is this the company guard who won the previous Zhongyuan Festival martial arts competition?" One of the maids saw his prosthetic limb and asked suspiciously.

"It's right here." Fu Nian clasped his fists and bowed his head, trying to put his tone as obedient and innocent as possible, "A few days ago, I was in the Tai Hospital because of an injury. I just came here today and I haven't started working yet, so I don't know what to do, so I Thinking about...asking my sisters for advice." After speaking, Fu Nian tried very hard to show a blush, but he tried many times, but ultimately failed.

Such a thing as betraying the appearance... It was the first time Fu Er tried it, and I don't know if it will be successful.

"It's really a guard!"

Fu Nian caught a glimpse of their blushing, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Then please, the incinerator is on the east side."

"Thank you." Fu Tian tried his best to make his voice sound softer.

After finishing speaking, Fu Yan listened to the two maids say a few words to him that were slightly out of line, and smiled pretending not to understand.Seeing them leave, Fu Nian raised his head, rubbed his face, restored his usual expressionless face, and dusted off the clothes that had just been touched by the handkerchief with the powder.

After moving the paper basket to the corner, Fu Nian stopped, ready to rummage inside to see if there was anything he needed.

While searching, Fu Nian was a little absent-minded.

Even if it is a waste manuscript, it should not be allowed to spread.Especially when the emperor was Chu Chaoyi, the friendship between master and servant did not treat his former master badly.Judging from various incidents, it can be seen that the relationship between Chu Chaoyi and Fu Zhen is not good.

After searching for a long time, as expected, Fu Nian found half a roll of torn bright yellow silk, but it was impossible to see what was written on it.

Looking at the silk in front of him, which was still incinerated, Fu Nian was a little shaken.

When he betrayed his master back then, he also had the original conflicting factors with his master as a foreshadowing.

But now, in order to get unrealized benefits from Fu Zhen, it is really worthwhile to hurt the former master who owed nothing to the friendship between master and servant...
