Fu Nian didn't touch the dirty dishes, and carefully exited the oppressive utility room.

After stuffing back all those worn-out toy collections and closing the creaking wooden door, Fu Niancai patted the dust off his body.

After walking around the Hengchang Palace again, after confirming that there were no valuable clues, Fu Nian withdrew.

Chu Chaoyi was still young when she was a concubine, so there should only be traces of her childhood life here. In the next few years, Fu Mian knew that Chu Chaoyi would be adopted in turn like kicking a football. It would be difficult to live in the same place for a long time. place, not to mention leaving any traces of life.

When I closed the gate of Hengchang Palace and walked back, I couldn't help but think of the doll with the big word "death" just now in my mind.

And that small, dark confinement room.

Back at Chengyuan Hall, Fu Nian just found out the iron shovel, and was about to clean up the frozen snow on the road a little bit. He had just shoveled a few shovels, and Fu Nian felt that there seemed to be more traces of people on the roof beside him.

He looked up, just in time to see a figure hanging from the roof, wearing the uniform of a shadow guard, obviously he had missed his foot, and his hands were firmly grasping the beams of the roof, trying not to slip down.

Fu Nian stuck the shovel into the snow with one hand, and leaned against the wall to enjoy the performance quietly.

"Don't look...help me." Chu Yao was hanging on the roof, his feet wanted to step on the tiles, but they couldn't stop slipping.

As Fu Nian approached, he didn't intend to help this foolish man. He put his hands behind his back and continued to look up at Chu Yao's legs and feet slipping. His hands holding the roof were already red and trembling.

The roof tiles in the palace are different from the common ones in the market. For waterproofing and aesthetics, there is a thick layer of bright glaze on them, especially in snowy days, which is surprisingly slippery.

"Good brother! Please!" Seeing that Fu Nian who was standing below turned a deaf ear, Chu Yao shouted again, "Good big brother! Good big brother!"

Fu Nian frowned.

Such a high eave fell, and the ground was icy, and the fall would definitely break the bone.If Chu Yao couldn't afford to be ill, there would be no one around Chu Chaoyi.

In the end, he still stretched out his prosthetic limb, indicating that Chu Yao could let go, and he would carry on.

Seeing a familiar body falling from the eaves, Fu Nian blocked it with his prosthetic limb to prevent him from falling directly to the ground.

After helping Chu Yao stabilize for two seconds, Fu Nian withdrew his hand and watched Chu Yao fall to the ground helplessly.

Shoulder height, there is nothing good or bad in the fall, but it can make a memory for him to remember next time, don't go on the roof in snowy weather.

"I didn't realize it was you until I caught it. I knew it would have made you fall straight away." Fu Nian looked at Chu Yao on the ground, said with a deadpan expression on purpose, and dusted off the prosthetic limb.

Chu Yao got up, and leaned against the wall in disgust, "If I knew it was you, I would rather fall down."

"Okay, I'll put you back right now." Fu Nian said, and walked forward, "You just slipped on the sixth tile from the left, right?"

"Don't don't don't don't, good brother, big brother!" Seeing this, Chu Yao quickly withdrew the disgust on her face, resumed her usual sternness, stood up straight, took out a bronze talisman from her sleeve, and threw it to Fu Nian.

Fu Nian reached out to catch it, and glanced at the copper talisman, on which was engraved with the word "soldier".

"The waist amulet of the West Pavilion of Tongxing Junshusi. The West Pavilion is slightly warmer, and it is the meeting place where His Majesty usually goes in winter in recent years." Chu Yao threw the bronze amulet out, and retracted his hands into his clothes to keep warm.

Fu Nian looked at the pass again, "What do you want me to do?"

"Your Majesty will be there these few days to discuss how to deal with that old thing who has the same surname as you," Chu Yao said here, paused, and glanced at the cheat sheet written in the palm of his hand in advance, "Yes, It's your old master."

"Ah, so you already know?" He thought that Chu Yao didn't know that he was Fu Nian, so he asked this on purpose.

Chu Yao twitched the corners of her mouth, "That's right, you caused me to elope with Princess Zhaxi and that surnamed Lian. After so long, the reward is not much. If I don't know who you are, I should be ashamed to kill myself." .”

Fu Nian put away the waist amulet, and before leaving, he added, ". I have been wondering for a few days. With His Majesty's keen insight, it shouldn't take so long to expose me. So this matter is left to you investigating."

After finishing speaking, Fu Er ran out of Chengyuan Hall without looking back.He only heard a very "polite" greeting from behind, generally asking about the physical conditions of his many non-existent relatives.

When he arrived at the West Pavilion of Junshu, Fu Nian consciously hid his tracks, preventing the ministers discussing matters, including Chu Chaoyi, from discovering his existence.

Outside, Chu Chaoyi and two courtiers were studying the sand table carefully.

The voice of the discussion was not loud, although he could hear it clearly even if he listened carefully, but wearing this clothes and wearing this waist card, Fu Tian still habitually blocked the content related to political affairs.

They only knew that they were discussing how to arrest Fu Zhen, but they didn't mention what to do after the arrest, so Fu Tian didn't care about it.

During the discussion, Fu Nian could hear Chu Chaoyi coughing from time to time, and he could tell that his physical condition was still not good.

If he had known earlier, he would not have talked poorly with Chu Yao, so he softly asked Chu Yao to ask about Chu Chaoyi's old illness.

But after thinking about it, Fu Nian felt that if he asked Chu Yao, there was a high probability that he would not tell him, and it would be better to say something.

It wasn't until it was dark and the lamps were lit in the pavilion that Fu Nian saw the two ministers leaving slowly, and Chu Chaoyi also had a break to rest.

"Eunuch Li, what kind of tea is this?" Chu Chaoyi asked in a hoarse voice after taking a sip of the unknown liquid in the teacup.

"The imperial doctor told you to pay attention to your daily diet. This is a specially formulated herbal tea. The taste may be slightly worse, but it is good for your health."

Hearing this, Chu Chaoyi's expression softened a little, "The imperial doctor said...it's all right, I thought Ah Nian was the one who picked me up."

Fu Twenty:?

He heard this sentence clearly, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

Eunuch Li: "If Master Fu brewed it, the servant will definitely inform you in advance, so that you can prepare yourself mentally."

Fu Twenty: ...

No wonder that day, King Ze persuaded him to "stay away from kitchen fume and pay attention to his health", so that's what he meant.

Chu Chaoyi drank the tea in the teacup in one gulp, put down the teacup, and looked at the documents that had just been delivered on the table.

When I turned to the first page, my hand stopped for a moment, "Is Chu Yao out of the palace?"

"Yes, Mr. Chu went to Prince Xi's Mansion to continue dealing with the affairs of the Lian family and the Qiao family. He is not in the palace. But before leaving, he arranged for other people to be on duty by your side. If you are worried, you can call him out—"

"It's fine if someone is on duty," Chu Chaoyi interrupted in time, "I just said that there was no movement today, so it was not Chu Yao who was on duty. Let him learn after he comes back. The younger generation walks much more quietly than him."

Hearing this disguised compliment, Fu Nian nodded in agreement.

Looking down from the top, one could just see Chu Chaoyi's straight nose and well-proportioned facial features, sitting upright, meticulously flipping through the documents in front of him.

…It was not easy to grow up to be at least a wise king in that environment when I was young.

"After dinner, King Ze will come to continue the discussion with you. For dinner, you are..."

Chu Chaoyi: "It's in the West Pavilion. I also sleep here at night, and it's closer to the court hall in the morning. It's too cold to walk around, cough cough cough—"

After coughing, Chu Chaoyi added, "By the way, these days, who came in to feed the medicine at night?"

Fu Erian on the roof beam paused for a moment, subconsciously holding his breath.

Eunuch Li quickly replied, "Your Majesty, it's Hong E, the maid on duty at night. She has just entered the palace and is still learning etiquette from her aunt in the Internal Service Bureau. I was lucky enough to get an errand in Chengyuan Palace. If you don't do things carefully, I will change someone tonight." .”

"Call her here. She is very meticulous in her work. If she hadn't seen the medicine bowl in the morning, she would hardly have noticed that someone had given me the medicine." After finishing speaking, Chu Chaoyi put down the paperwork in his hand, "Red calyx... a new tribute Choose a brightly colored silk and satin for her, and wear brighter ones for business in front of the imperial court to look energetic."

Fu Nian listened on the roof beam and tapped his legs.

It seems that his medicine feeding technique is really good, and he never woke up the light sleeper.It's just a mouth-to-mouth drug, the taste is really torture.

At night, King Ze came to discuss with Chu Chaoyi about Fu Zhen.

This time, the voices of the two were open, and it was difficult for Fu Er to avoid it.

It can only be heard that the bad old man's identity as Fu Shijiu not only deceived him, but also deceived Chu Chaoyi and King Ze around.

Chu Chaoyi and King Ze also thought that old man was dead long ago.

Fu Nian, who later revealed his identity, didn't quite understand. He only understood that Chu Chaoyi and King Ze had discovered that something was wrong with this "new sect master" long before him.

He was the only one who foolishly returned to Yaoyuemen, only to realize that he had been tricked for so long.

Hearing that he was not the only one being cheated, Fu Nian was suddenly relieved, feeling that he was not so stupid as to be unreasonable.

After two o'clock in the night, it was almost time to feed the medicine, so Fu Nian came down from the roof beam and sneaked out of the pavilion, pretending that he had just arrived here, and he was a little confused about the way.

The professional court ladies and father-in-law were still those familiar faces, filling medicine into the pot in the small tea room in the corner of the West Pavilion.

"Sister Hong'e, why are you unhappy that His Majesty suddenly promoted you..."

"Of course I'm not happy. I didn't do these things. I didn't want to..."

As he approached, Fu Nian heard the maid's whispering.

He walked quietly to the door.

After listening openly for a long time, only the maid looked back and saw him.

"Lian, even the guards!"

"Yeah. Let me do it." Fu Nian didn't say much, and took the tray of soup and medicine consciously.

"Lian, Lian guards, His Majesty asked today..." Seeing that it was the owner of the meritorious service, Hong E hurriedly tried to explain, "I didn't ask for credit, but, but..."

"I know. Your Majesty rewards you and you accept it. As I said before, I will ask the crime, and you will ask the merits. Don't worry." After Fu Nian finished speaking, he walked away quickly with the wooden plate.

"Sister Hong'e, he treats you so well..."

"What do you say?"

"Actually, the prosthetic limb is quite handsome, plus he looks good..."

"But I think he really wants to go in and feed the medicine..."

The west pavilion is much smaller than the sleeping palace, so Fu Yan squeezed in carefully and knelt by the couch.

Holding the medicine pot in one hand, and the antiemetic medicine prepared in advance in the other.

Fu Nian couldn't help frowning as the bitter soup entered his mouth.

He cautiously brought it to Chu Chaoyi's lips.

This time, it hasn't been posted yet.

Suddenly, he only felt a big hand firmly grasping his neck, and he pressed his backhand to the ground.

"——!" Fu Nian didn't resist, he choked out the soup in his mouth, and he hurriedly resisted the urge to cough.

"The past few days, I feel that something is wrong. There is no way I can't detect it completely with the medicine pot... Sure enough, what kind of obscenity/.Book Monster Zhi taught you to feed medicine like this? The etiquette taught by your aunt is not—"

"Cough, cough, cough——" Fu Nian was strangled by the neck, and was already uncomfortable from being choked by the medicine, so he couldn't help it, and coughed out.

The soup flowed down his lips, onto the big hand pinching his neck, and the temple hair on both sides.

Hearing the sound of a male cough, Chu Chaoyi was taken aback.

He quickly withdrew his hand like an electric shock.

"Woo—" Fu Nian felt the restraint on his neck loosen, and quickly turned his head outwards to relieve the urge to retch.
