Chapter 236 [Fuyao 21]
"You like me, right?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"I...I..." Fu Yao didn't know where to start.
Changsun Wuji walked towards Fuyao step by step. Fuyao was forced to retreat and soon retreated to a corner.
Changsun Wuji blocked Fuyao's way with his hands. Without waiting for Fuyao to speak, he lifted Fuyao's chin with one hand, then held Fuyao in his arms with the other hand and kissed her hard. The kiss was so urgent that Fuyao could hardly bear it.
When Fuyao was about to become deprived of oxygen for so long, Changsun Wuji finally let go of Fuyao.
Fuyao fell into Changsun Wuji's arms, and was almost exhausted from the kiss.
"Fuyao, please leave the palace. I will help you remove the seal." Changsun Wuji said.
"Why?" Fu Yao was a little confused. Changsun Wuji was kissing her right before her. Fu Yao could feel that Changsun Wuji liked her, but why did he want to chase her away now?
"Your existence hinders my work, so you'd better go as far away as possible." Changsun Wuji said calmly.
"But don't you like me? Just now..."
"Shut up. I like the type that is cuddly and petite. I don't like strong women like you at all." Changsun Wuji interrupted what Fu Yao was about to say.
Fuyao felt a little uncomfortable and painful after hearing this. "Okay, since this is your wish, I will stay away from you in the future and won't bother you anymore."
Fu Yao looked at Changsun Wuji one last time, as if she wanted to remember him, and then left.
Changsun Wuji looked at Fu Yao's departing back and felt very sad. He wanted to call out to her, but he couldn't open his mouth. He could only watch Fu Yao walk out of his sight step by step.
During the Cold Clothes Festival, the palace was extremely lively, with lights and decorations everywhere.
Fu Yao looked at the palace, knowing that she might never stay here again, and felt a little sad.
Jian Xue handed Fuyao a piece of clothing and a token, and said, "The guards in the palace are all our own people. You can leave the palace smoothly after you change your clothes. As for Yu Wenzi's identity, His Majesty will take care of it. You can leave without worry."
"Thank you, Sister Jian Xue." Fu Yao said.
On the other hand, Changsun Wuji was in a depressed mood during the ancestor worship ceremony. All that came to his mind was his past with Fuyao. Now Fuyao should be on her way out of the palace, and he would never see her again.
Fuyao changed her clothes and left the palace step by step. Looking at the familiar palace walls, Fuyao didn't want to leave. Although it had always been her wish to leave the palace, when she really went out, she couldn't bear to leave.
Just as Fuyao stepped out of Xuanwu Gate, Jiang Feng, who came after her, called her back, "Girl, wait, please don't leave."
Fuyao turned around and saw that it was Jiang Feng who called her, so she walked over and said, "Guard Jiang, is there anything you want?"
Jiang Feng hesitated for a moment, but decided to let Fuyao know the truth. He said, "His Majesty suffered three palm strikes from Xuanyuan Xiao for you, and now his vitality is seriously damaged. His Majesty does not want you to be in danger, so he forced you to leave."
"So you came here just to tell me this?" Fu Yao said calmly.
"Yes, so please think it over carefully, it's not too late to leave. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it later. I know his majesty. He is just playing around with other people, but he really likes you, girl. I don't want his majesty to regret it, nor do I want you to feel sorry, so I am taking the risk of being beaten by his majesty to tell you. I hope you can think about it more and don't miss the opportunity." Jiang Feng said.
"I really owe you." Fuyao said angrily.
"Is that girl still going to leave?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Okay, let's not leave. Let's go. It should still be urgent now. I'll go change my clothes." Fu Yao said.
"Thank you, Miss Xie." Jiang Feng said.
At the banquet, all officials attended in formal attire. Pei Yuan and Yan Jingchen also came, and Zong Yue came with Qi Youyou.
Zhangsun Wuji and the three concubines in the harem came out on time. Tang Zhirong found that Fuyao was not there, so she asked, "Why didn't Madam Shu come today?"
Fuyao's maid Shi Lan said, "Your Majesty, Madam Shu is ill and cannot attend."
"What a pity! After the banquet is over, I have some medicinal herbs here. Please take them back to your master." Tang Zhirong said.
"Yes, I will obey your order. Thank you, Madam De." Shi Lan said.
The banquet began with the palace maids performing beautiful dances.
When Qi Zhen saw that his adopted daughter was not present, he thought that it was because of Tang Zhirong's suppression that prevented his adopted daughter from attending the banquet.
Qi Zhen asked directly, "I don't know, Your Majesty, why is my adopted daughter not present?"
"Duke Qi, Madam Shu was not feeling well today, so she did not come to the banquet." Changsun Wuji explained.
"I see. But I remember that my adopted daughter has been in good health since she was young. Why does she feel uncomfortable when she comes to the palace? Is it that some people don't want my adopted daughter to come?" Qi Zhen looked at Tang Zhirong vaguely and said.
Tang Zhirong said angrily, "Duke Qi, are you blaming me? Do you think I did it?"
"No, I dare not, I just have some doubts." Qi Zhen said.
At this time, Fuyao came in wearing formal clothes and immediately bowed, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health. I am late. I was feeling a little unwell today, but now I am well again. I am here to attend the banquet. I wonder if I have disturbed you all."
"It's okay, please take a seat." Changsun Wuji said.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Fuyao replied.
Then he walked to Qi Zhen and whispered, "Godfather." Then he went to his seat.
Qi Zhen saw his niece Youyou on the other side again and felt helpless. His niece has been following Zong Yue ever since she got engaged, but the two of them have not yet married, so it would be a bit inappropriate for them to sit together so openly.
"Your Majesty, I don't know when the Medical Saint and my Youyou will get married. The imperial edict only says to choose a date for the wedding. Why don't you set a date for the two of them today? This way, my Youyou can join the Medical Saint's mansion as soon as possible." Qi Zhen said. On the surface, as an uncle, he was doing this for the good of his niece, but in reality, only he knew why.
"It seems so. I wonder if Miss Qi and Doctor Zong, you two are willing?" Changsun Wuji said.
"Your Majesty, I naturally want to marry Miss Qi and bring her home as soon as possible." Zong Yue said.
"In that case, I will set a wedding date for you two. It will be three months later," said Changsun Wuji.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zong Yue said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Youyou said.
"Then I, an old minister, have to go back and prepare a dowry for this girl Youyou." Qi Zhen said, stroking his beard.
"Congratulations to Lord Qi for having a good son-in-law, congratulations to the Medical Saint, and congratulations to Miss Qi." said the ministers.
"Thank you. Everyone must come to Yuyu's wedding." Qi Zhen said.
"Yes," said the ministers.
