Chapter 72 The Little Companion Apologizes

Li Feng was led away, and His Majesty's gaze fell on him again. Bian Yushu nervously swallowed.

If Li Feng failed to keep an eye on him, then what about him, who was not kept in Li Feng's sight and set a fire and ran away?

But didn't His Majesty reward him with many things for saving the emperor?

The imperial tent was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Bian Yushu shrank her neck, feeling a chill run down her spine for no apparent reason.

Fortunately, His Majesty quickly looked away, said nothing more, and even invited him to have dinner together.

Bian Yushu thought to himself, "It seems he was overthinking things. His Majesty has always been fair in rewarding and punishing. Since he wasn't punished, it shouldn't be his fault."

After finishing their meal and returning to their tent, they found brand-new blankets on the bed, no signs of fire on the floor, and even the curtain that Li Feng had torn off to put out the fire was intact and looked exactly the same as before.

After His Majesty returned to camp, he was busy dealing with the assassination attempt and probably didn't have time to pay attention to this small matter. It was probably Fulu who restored this place.

Are you worried that you won't have anywhere to sleep when you get back at night?

Fu Lu is so good to me, sob sob sob.

Bian Yushu was so moved that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He couldn't sleep even more when he remembered that he had badmouthed Fu Lu to the Emperor. So he got up in the middle of the night and went to Fu Lu's tent.

Fu Lu was not on duty tonight. After serving Qin Ji until he was ready to rest, he returned to his own tent, turned off the light, and went to sleep.

He was half asleep when he dreamt that someone was whispering in his ear, "Grandpa Fu, Grandpa Fu~"

Feeling uneasy, I rolled over, and when I reached out and touched a human face, I was startled awake, my whole body jerking on the bed.

Bian Yushu was so startled by his flick that he sat down on the ground.

Fu Lu lit the oil lamp by the bedside, wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and seeing the person under the bed, quickly helped Bian Yushu onto his own bed. "Young Master Bian, what brings you to this servant's place? Is there something important?"

This is extremely important!

Bian Yushu did not hide anything and told the whole story, how she had misunderstood Fu Lu and how she had badmouthed him to His Majesty.

When Fu Lu helped him up, he felt that Bian Yushu's hand was a little cold. While listening, he wrapped him in a quilt.

In late autumn, the weather grew colder and colder, and the child had been squatting by his bed for who knows how long.

After babbling on and on, Bian Yushu hugged the quilt, looked into Fu Lu's eyes, and said softly but earnestly, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you and even went to His Majesty to complain."

Seeing Fulu sitting beside him in his undergarments, Bian Yushu quickly shared some of his blanket with him and said confidently, "I will never doubt you again. Don't worry, I will go to His Majesty tomorrow to explain and ask him to punish me."

Looking at the boy wrapped in a blanket like a little squirrel, Fu Lu felt a warm glow in his heart.

This child is so adorable, no wonder His Majesty likes him so much, who wouldn't like him?

He wanted to tell Bian Yushu that His Majesty understood perfectly well and didn't need him to explain, and to remind him that His Majesty was holding back his anger and should be careful of being punished. But he also felt that it would be good for Bian Yushu to explain. With such a pure and innocent child, His Majesty might be able to calm down even the angrier he was.

"This servant wondered what it was about. This servant has served His Majesty for many years. His Majesty is wise and mighty, and he certainly wouldn't suspect me. Young master, there's no need to worry."

Yes, His Majesty is wise and powerful, unlike him. He certainly wouldn't misunderstand Fu Lu.

Bian Yushu finally felt relieved after worrying all night. He was afraid that his words would cause His Majesty to harbor resentment towards Eunuch Fu. It was not easy for Eunuch Fu to reach the position of chief steward. If he were to be alienated by His Majesty because of his words, he would be guilty of a great sin!

Bian Yushu nodded, "That's good, but an explanation is still necessary. Better safe than sorry."

Fu Lu smiled and said, "Young master is cautious and thoughtful. This servant thanks you."

"What are you saying!" Bian Yushu hugged the quilt, looking at Fu Lu with a face full of gratitude. "I should be thanking you for not holding it against me."

Bian Yushu simply lay down on the bed, shifting over to make room for Fu Lu. "Thank you so much for helping me set up the tent. Otherwise, I wouldn't have anywhere to sleep tonight!"

Seeing that he was only thinking about where to sleep, Fu Lu couldn't help but laugh.

The sleeping place is secondary; the main problem is that the tent is on fire, and it's not far from the imperial tent. If word gets out, this child will be in deep trouble. Even if His Majesty wants to protect him, it will be difficult to show leniency openly.

After all, it concerns the safety of the emperor. If he is not severely punished to serve as a warning to others, the emperor's authority will be damaged.

Of course, Fu Lu wouldn't tell Bian Yushu these principles; he would have to let his "teacher" explain them to him.

"Young master is of noble birth, how could you sleep in a servant's place? This humble abode is beneath your dignity."

"Can't I?" Bian Yushu asked, her eyes brimming with tears, as if Fulu's disagreement meant he wouldn't forgive her.

Fu Lu: "………………"

Young Master Bian, next time you can try this trick on His Majesty; I think it should work!

Forget it, I can just wake him up early tomorrow and go to His Majesty's presence together. As long as we get up early enough, no one should notice.
