"What is this place?" I asked him.

Minamoto Raimitsu: "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a small yard before, but you never came back, so I asked Afu to help you choose. This place belongs to you now."

"But, I wanted to buy it myself before." I didn't want him to give it to me.

"Then you can give me the money now. 80 taels." He said, reaching out his hand to me.

I pursed my lips and looked at him, feeling a little speechless.This is not at all what I imagined.I always feel that even if I move to this small courtyard, I still cannot escape his control.

It feels like he is completely condescending, playing a house-playing game with me.

Forget it, if I really care about him, I will lose.

I took out the silver and gave it to him, and he happily received it in his storage meson.

After breakfast, I asked him, "Is this yard far from your mansion? I want to see Ah Fu and ask her if she wants to move here now."

After all, I promised Ah Fu before that no matter where I go, I will take her with me.

But Minamoto Raimitsu said to me regretfully, "It's not far from my residence, just across the street. But I'm afraid Fuku can't move here to live with you."

"Why? Has something happened to her?"

Under Minamoto's explanation, I found out that Ah Fu had already lived in the palace.

Last month, the queen in the palace had dystocia and gave birth to a young son after narrowly escaped death. However, due to postpartum weakness, she has been lingering in the sick bed. Even the young prince was crying day and night, fearing that he might die young.

So the emperor ordered to search for famous doctors and capable people in various places, hoping that someone could cure the queen and the little prince.

At that time, Yuan Laiguang had just returned to Ping'an capital, and Ah Fu told him that she wanted to go to the palace to see the queen and the young prince, and maybe she had a way to help them.

Minamoto Larimitsu didn't think much, and arranged for the butler to send Ah Fu into the palace.

But what was unexpected was that Ah Fu actually 'cured' the queen and the young prince. Under Ah Fu's care, the queen had recovered and the young prince stopped crying. The emperor rewarded Ah Fu wantonly. She was left to live in the palace.

Minamoto Raimiko said: "You must have never imagined that Ah Fu has now replaced the original maid in charge of the queen. She is now the queen's most trusted person. All the big and small things in the queen's palace are decided by Ah Fu."

It's only been one month!

Me: "... I admire you very much."

Ah Fu really deserves to be a female hero who can pull up a team in the underworld. I suddenly felt that she shouldn't live with me in this small courtyard. She should rush into the center of wealth and power. No matter how difficult it is, she can always open up the situation in the shortest time, step by step, and then get nourished in the power like a duck to water. If it weren't for the low starting point of her birth, she would have been a member of the pinnacle of power by now.

Even Minamoto Raimitsu couldn't help but say, "She is born strong, it's good to go to the palace, there is what she really wants, maybe in the future, when she stands taller, she can also let Ali One more layer of protection."

"Yeah. The palace is more suitable for her." I said with emotion. On the one hand, I am happy for Ah Fu, she has a good future. Does it matter?Everyone has something they want more, and one day, they will go their separate ways due to various reasons.As a friend, even if you are reluctant, you can only send blessings.

So this kind of relationship is really not reliable. The only thing that can be together forever, and the only thing that can bind two people firmly for a lifetime is marriage.

I looked at Minamoto Raimitsu and couldn't help but think, that's why he wanted to marry me, right?

Adults are also very lonely and insecure.

Probably the way I looked at him touched him a little. He picked me up and sat me on his lap. I struggled a bit, but he held my waist domineeringly. I couldn't struggle anymore.

"Hey, don't move around."

I sighed helplessly, "Master, this is not good."

"We are husband and wife, there is no need to keep a distance." He said with confidence.

"Not yet married."

"A Li, do you want to get married right away?" He looked at me provocatively and smiled, like a hunter who had set a trap and was waiting for his prey to jump in.

I snorted and turned my head to ignore him.This person is really too bad, thanks to my pity for him just now!

His deep and gentle voice sounded above my head, "Does Ah Li feel lonely?"

I lowered my head, obeyed his wishes, and leaned against his chest, listening to his solid and powerful heartbeat, feeling unprecedented peace of mind.

"Not alone, I have you as an adult. You will always be with me, right?"

"Well, I will always be with Ah Li, forever and ever..."

I curled the corners of my lips, suddenly wishing that time could stop at this moment, it felt so good.

......

On the second day after I returned to Heianjing, Ah Fu decided to leave the palace and came to see me in the small courtyard.

This meeting, Ah Fu surprised me very much.

Different from the simple and unpretentious dress in the past, this time Ah Fu has exquisite makeup and black temples like clouds. She is wearing a gorgeous kimono and an exquisite and complicated belt around her waist. Her every move is a bit like a lady in Heianjing style.

Besides, compared to the noble ladies who have always been pampered and pampered, Ah Fu has an innate "wildness", which is a kind of vitality that is unique in a million, no matter how elegant her manners are, no matter how well-dressed she is, The wildness full of tension will not be concealed.

This kind of Ah Fu is powerful and luxurious, even though he knows that she comes from a humble background, no one dares to underestimate her.

Sure enough, she is a natural born strong.

"A Li, you are finally back. I miss you so much." A Fu waved away the maid who was following her, and walked over enthusiastically to hold my hand.

I looked at the slight smile lines in the corners of Ah Fu's eyes, felt her warm and strong palms, and felt that Ah Fu was still the old Ah Fu, she hadn't changed.

"I miss you too. How are you doing in the Palace?"

"Very good. The queen is a very gentle person and easy to get along with. The young master is also very good."

After a few simple greetings, I asked her about her plans for the future.

Ah Fu said: "I want to stay in the palace. I want power. The queen has hired a teacher for me to teach me etiquette and knowledge. I want to be a great person, a high-ranking person, so that I Only then can I control my own destiny. I don’t want to drag Ah Li back, we are friends, and we can’t always ask you to help me. I also hope that one day, when I have my own strength, I can help Ah Li. "

"That's fine. No matter where you are or what you do, as long as you are happy."

After that, Ah Fu and I chatted about the current situation in Heian-kyo.

"Master Qingming has been in trouble recently." Ah Fu said, showing a cool smile, "Those things that Hei Qingming did before have been found out, and they are all blamed on Master Qingming. The innocent people who were captured in the underworld, the death of the former emperor, including the turmoil in Xingyuan, Lord Seimei’s crimes are too numerous to record, and there are many people who have fallen into trouble now.”

Me: "Has Qingming come out of the underworld? Hei Qingming does those things very secretly. He rarely shows up in person. Except for a few people who know, how can others know?"

"He has been back in Heian-kyo for a while. Now the nobles in Heian-kyo have three attitudes towards him. One thinks that he has committed too many crimes, that he has already betrayed the emperor and mankind, and should be executed immediately. The other One kind thinks that the glamorous Master Qingming would not do those things at all, and that someone deliberately framed him, and he should catch the real culprit behind it, and give Master Qingming justice. The other kind is to keep silent and do nothing. Don’t say anything, just wait for the follow-up development of the situation.”

Pretty much what I guessed.These nobles, they don't care about the truth of the matter, and they don't care whether Master Seimei is black or white, they only care about their own interests.

They have always been like this, and these three positions are almost the most basic three positions when encountering major conflicts.

I asked Ah Fu, "What about now? Where is Master Qingming? Did he do anything?"

"Master Qingming is in the sky prison. It is said that ten highly respected onmyojis are personally guarding him, and no one else will see him, let alone escape from prison."

I was a little surprised, "Heavenly Prison? Was it ordered by the Emperor himself?"

"Yes." Ah Fu nodded with a smile. I could feel that she had a very bad impression of Qingming. Because of what Hei Qingming did in the underworld, Ah Fu almost died, and even Ah Fu's second daughter died. In the underworld, this is also directly caused by Hei Qingming, even though black and white are now one, but in Ah Fu's heart, Hei Qingming is Qingming, the murderer who killed her daughter, and the heinous sinner.

I shook her hand and comforted her silently, "Do you want revenge?"

Ah Fu's expression became gloomy, and then she comforted me and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything unnecessary. After all, that's Master Qingming, and I'm nothing now. I'll take revenge on him, then Isn't it hitting a rock with an egg?"

This means that she does not have the ability to take revenge directly, but she will work hard to make herself stronger, and one day in the future, she will take revenge on Qingming.

Everyone has their own position and last resort, as a friend, I don't know how to persuade her.

Fortunately, Ah Fu has never been a person who wants to be persuaded.

She continued, "I heard that Seimei-sama had a very good relationship with the emperor before, but this time, I can feel that the emperor wants to put him to death. So far, he has not resisted or justified. move."

"It won't be that easy. Whether it's Seimei now, or Kuro Seimei in the past, they won't be overthrown so easily. He has his own reasons for not doing anything now. But why would the emperor want to put him on the ground?" Death, this is a bit intriguing. After all, Qingming has been trying to protect him before, and it stands to reason that he should want to save Qingming."

Ah Fu shook his head, indicating that she was not very clear about the inside story, "By the way, does Ah Li know what Minamoto-sama's attitude is towards this matter?"
