Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 254 Decided to Return Home
Xiao Yuan has been standing next to Jing Ning, and was originally focused on observing Jing Ning apply ice cubes to Yaoyao, but she inadvertently raised her eyes to find that Lan Yao was crying, silently.

She froze for a moment, then quickly turned her head, thought for a while, and passed the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.

Lan Yao took it over, wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks, and whispered, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

Jing Ning shook his head lightly, without stopping the movement of his hands.

Lan Yao gently brushed Jing Ning's hand away, "I'll do it." Her voice was hoarse, which made people feel distressed.

Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan looked at each other, their eyes were full of worry about Lan Yao.

"By the way, A Yuan, has your brother checked who is behind the scenes?" Lan Yao removed the ice, and the burnt part no longer hurts, but it is still very red, and it seems that it will not fade away in a while .

"Not yet. My brother didn't find out either." Xiao Yuan replied hesitantly. "My brother said that the person behind it is a big shot. This Qianqian has also analyzed it for us before."

"Except for this? Have you found nothing?" Lan Yao asked unwillingly.

"It's gone. The people behind the scenes seem to be very careful in doing things, and the intelligence camp can't find out." Xiao Yuan shook her head.

Lan Yao bowed her head in disappointment.

"Did Fu Guogong find out anything?" Jing Ning had been listening in silence, and suddenly asked.People like Fu Guogong must find out something, even if they can't find out, they will guess something.

"I don't know, grandpa doesn't tell me that."

The three of them were silent for a long time, "Jingning, A Yuan, you go back first." Lan Yao's face was completely gone from Jing Ning's smile when they first arrived, Jing Ning guessed that the rumor was still in Yaoyao's heart, There are knots and knots that cannot be untied.

Jing Ning got up, knowing that Yaoyao should be left alone for a while, and let her think about what to do in the future.

After Jing Ning and Xiao Yuan left, Lan Yao stayed in the room alone and asked all the maids around her to go out, and she walked to the bed.The sachet was still kept under the pillow.

She took out the sachet, and unconsciously rubbed the delicate plum blossoms on it with her fingers. The sachet had been embroidered for a long time, but she never had the chance to deliver it to that person.I don't know if there are any more.Lan Yao knew that even though Chen Zhi was under house arrest, she could still give the sachet to Xiao Yuan, and asked A Yuan to hand it over to her brother Xiao Lin, who would then enter the palace and bring it to Chen Zhi.But Lan Yao didn't want to do this, she still wanted to hand it over to him herself, this was a kind of stubbornness, her stubbornness.When she handed the sachet to Chen Zhi, she wanted to tell him that she liked him.

Lan Yao stared blankly, Chen Zhi's monstrous face appeared in his mind, his peach blossom eyes were slightly raised, and he smiled evilly.

I don't know if it is still possible for me to hand over this sachet to him.Lan Yao thought silently.

Fu Guogong is in the study discussing with Lan Yao's brothers what to do to dispel the emperor's suspicion.

That day the emperor asked him to stay, asked him a few business matters, and asked him tactfully what he thought about the rumors about Chen Zhi and Lan Yao.

"Lan Aiqing, do you know the rumors among ministers these days?" The emperor asked with a smile after taking a sip of tea.

Upon hearing the words, Duke Fu immediately stood up, went to the middle and knelt down, "Return to the emperor, these rumors are all rumors, Lan Yao and Chen Zhizi are innocent." Duke Fu said firmly and unquestionably.

The emperor looked at it quietly for a while, then slowly put the teacup on the table, "Really?" He didn't say whether he believed it or not, and stared at Fu Guogong thoughtfully.

Fu Guogong's complexion did not change, and his voice was sonorous and forceful, "Return to the emperor, this child Lan Yao was raised by this minister personally, and this minister knows her temperament, and this kind of thing will never happen."

The emperor suddenly smiled, "Lan Aiqing, I'm just asking casually, why are you so nervous, get up and talk."

Fu Guogong breathed a sigh of relief, but it didn't show on his face, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

He got up and sat on the chair beside him.

The emperor talked with Fu Guogong about some other matters, and then let Fu Guogong leave.

Although the emperor said that he believed that this matter was just a rumor spread by someone with a heart, Duke Fu himself did not dare to think so.The emperor stayed here to ask himself this time, just to test his attitude, which shows that the emperor has doubts.After all, I am a veteran minister, and there are some forces in the court. It is reasonable for the emperor to worry that he will have contacts with other countries.

So Duke Fu didn't hold any resentment in his heart, but was only thinking about how to dispel the emperor's suspicion.The Fuguo government has been loyal ministers for generations, and it is absolutely impossible for him to betray his own country.

"Why don't you let my cousin go back to her hometown to stay for a while to avoid the limelight?" one of Lan Yao's cousins ​​asked.

"Will this make others think that there is no silver 300 taels here?" Another brother hesitated.

The brothers talked about several methods intermittently, but they each held different opinions.

Duke Fu suddenly said in a deep voice, "Xu'er, Zheng'er, Rong'er, which of you three would like to marry Yaoyao?"

Lan Zixu and the others looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at him, but no one answered Fu Guogong's words.

Fu Guogong's face darkened, "Why, do you still dislike my precious granddaughter?"

Lan Zixu bowed to Fu Guogong, "Grandpa, we should see what Yaoyao thinks." Lan Zixu was the cousin who saw Lan Yao's embroidered sachet that day.He knew in his heart that Lan Yao already had someone else in mind, so Duke Fu's suggestion could not be adopted.Yaoyao has a hot temper, so she is unwilling to force her to be engaged and married like this.

Fu Guogong watched Lan Yao grow up, and he also knew Lan Yao's temperament. He could think of anything Lan Zixu could think of.Fu Guogong sighed, "Then let Lan Yao go to his hometown to stay for a while." Qianqian just came back, and Lan Yao is leaving again, alas.Duke Fu shook his head.

"Then I'll tell my cousin. Let her get ready." Lan Zixu didn't really want Lan Yao to go back to her hometown, but judging by the current situation, she absolutely couldn't stay in the capital anymore. If there are any rumors spread by the country's proton, that would be bad.

"Okay, go talk to her." Fu Guogong stopped looking at them and turned his back on them.

The brothers looked at each other and left.

Lan Yao managed to hide her sadness, and was about to go to Qianqian's place to accompany her, when she saw her cousin coming out of the house.Puzzled and asked: "Cousin? What are you doing here?"

Lan Zixu looked at Lan Yao with a smile on his face, and found that her eyes were reddish, and her heart sank. Did she cry?Is it for the proton of Qi State?
"What's wrong with you?" Lan Zixu asked in a deep voice.

Lan Yao touched her eyes, is it so obvious?She shook her head and smiled, "It's nothing, maybe the wind just came out and the sand got in."
