Chapter 240 [Fuyao 25]
Chang Yuan was offering sacrifices to heaven, but Qi Zhen was unable to come, claiming to have caught a cold.
So, Changsun Wuji led all the ministers to perform a grand ceremony of worshipping the heavens. After the ceremony, Changsun Wuji wanted to return to the palace.
The eunuchs and officials stopped Changsun Wuji and said, "According to the ancestral rules, Your Majesty needs to stay in Changyuan for another day to worship Buddha and recite scriptures."
Changsun Wuji complained deliberately, "There are too many tedious tasks. It's too tiring. I don't want to do it anymore. I want to go back to the palace."
The eunuch De Gonggong stepped forward and said, "I have arranged everything for your Majesty. Your Majesty just needs to enjoy it."
"Eunuch De, you are still sensible." Changsun Wuji said with a smile.
"It is my duty as a servant to share your majesty's worries," said Eunuch De.
On the other side, Fuyao was taken back to his mansion by Qi Zhen.
When Qi Zhen saw Fuyao, he deliberately said, "Yuwen Zi, look, I just invited you to my house as a guest, and then His Majesty came all the way from Changyuan. It shows how much His Majesty values you. His Majesty is here to take you back this time. Do you want to go back with His Majesty?"
Fuyao hurriedly expressed her loyalty to Qi Zhen and said, "I will listen to my foster father and do whatever he tells me to do."
Qi Zhen continued, "Your Majesty, you have other intentions. His target is me. I personally helped Your Majesty ascend the throne, but now he is unwilling to be a puppet emperor and has always disliked me. Your Majesty has hindered my progress, and I have to remove this thorn in my heart. Now that Your Majesty has come to the Duke's Mansion alone, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I hope A Zi can help me realize this dream."
"But godfather, His Majesty doesn't like me and I can't get close to him at all." Fu Yao said.
Qi Zhen said, "As long as you get rid of Xuanyuan Min, I can ensure that the Yuwen family will be prosperous and wealthy for life. Otherwise, I will kill all the Yuwen family members. Ah Zi, you can think it over carefully."
Fuyao pretended to be in great pain, and finally said, "Okay, I promise you, I hope my godfather will keep his word."
Fuyao came to the courtyard to see Changsun Wuji. When Changsun Wuji saw Fuyao, he hugged her tightly and said, "I want to take you back to the palace. Because of the Cold Clothes Festival, I found that A Zi is the best person."
Fuyao immediately realized that this person was not Changsun Wuji. Although they looked exactly the same, Changsun Wuji would never call her that.
So, Fuyao took advantage of the situation and pretended to be very touched. She hugged Changsun Wuji back, then took out a dagger and stabbed Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji, who fell to the ground, couldn't believe that Fuyao actually stabbed him.
Upon seeing this, Fuyao immediately dropped the dagger, pretended to be frightened, and squatted on the ground.
Qi Zhen, who was in the dark, saw this scene and dispelled his doubts.
Then Qi Zhen came out from the dark and said, "Azi, well done."
Then the true face of 'Changsun Wuji' was revealed. It turned out that all this was just a trick of Qi Zhen to test Fu Yao in order to test her loyalty.
Qi Zhen looked at Fu Yao's body that was shaking with fear and said, "Today's incident was a test for you. I'm very happy that you passed my test. I hope that you can work well for me after you return to the palace, A Zi. As long as you are loyal to me, I will protect you and your family and make them prosperous and wealthy in the future."
"Thank... so much...father." Fu Yao said tremblingly.
