Chapter 231 [Fuyao 16]
Fuyao returned to her residence and told Uncle Zhou about the seal.
Uncle Zhou asked, "Fuyao, what do you think? If you want to lift the seal, you must enter the palace. If not, Uncle Zhou will take you away."
Fuyao thought about it and realized that only after the seal was lifted could her martial arts skills be greatly improved, and maybe she could even find out her own life experience.
Fuyao said, "Uncle Zhou, I want to lift the seal."
"Okay, good boy, Uncle Zhou supports you. It is best to be careful on this trip." Uncle Zhou said.
"Then Uncle Zhou, how do I enter the palace?" Fu Yao asked.
"Only by passing the selection to enter the palace can you be legitimate. Didn't you pretend to be Yuwen Zi before? You can use this identity to let Qi Zhen send you into the palace." Uncle Zhou said.
"But will Qi Zhen agree?" Fu Yao asked doubtfully.
"Of course he will. He needs someone by his side who can listen to his orders, so you are the most suitable one at the moment." Uncle Zhou said.
"But how can I hide this from Qi Zhen?" Fu Yao asked.
"Let me introduce someone to you. Come out." Uncle Zhou said.
Then, a girl from another race came out.
"Uncle Zhou, who is she?" Fu Yao asked.
"Hello, my name is Ya Lanzhu." Ya Lanzhu greeted Fuyao with a smile.
"Hello... hello, my name is Fuyao, nice to meet you, you are so beautiful." Fuyao felt a little shy when being greeted by such a beautiful lady.
"You are very beautiful too." Ya Lanzhu said.
"Fuyao, Yalanzhu is the princess of Qiongye. The sacred pearl of the Qiongye tribe can help you change your face, so that people will not find out that you are not Yuwen Zi." Uncle Zhou said.
"Thank you Ya Lanzhu for your help. Fuyao is very grateful." Fuyao said.
"You're welcome, Fuyao. I have to remind you of one thing. Although the power of the holy pearl can keep your appearance after the face-changing forever, you must remember to avoid the mirror, otherwise the face-changing will fail." Ya Lanzhu said.
"Okay, I understand, Yalanzhu." Fuyao said.
"Let's start." After saying this, Ya Lanzhu used the power of the holy pearl.
In an instant, Fuyao's face changed and became like Yuwen Zi.
Before leaving, Uncle Zhou repeatedly reminded Fuyao to be careful.
Fuyao said that she would.
Then, Fu Yao covered herself with wounds and appeared in the ruins after the fire in a miserable state.
Qi Zhen was full of doubts about Fu Yao's sudden appearance, because he led people to search the scene after the fire but did not find Fu Yao, so Fu Yao's appearance was very strange.
Qi Zhen asked, "Where are you from? I sent people to look for you all night yesterday, but I couldn't find you. Where did you hide?"
Fuyao quickly explained, "To answer your question, sir, I was sleeping soundly in the yard yesterday, and suddenly there was a fire. Then I tried my best to escape, and finally fainted outside the fire scene. I just woke up now."
Qi Zhen looked at Fuyao, a weak woman, and felt that she could not lie, so he chose to believe her and said, "In that case, Yunhen, why don't you take Miss Yuwen downstairs to rest."
"Yes, master, Miss Yuwen, please come this way." Yun Hen said.
"Sir, I will take my leave now." Fu Yao said.
"Yeah." Qi Zhen said.
……
In the Golden Palace, Changsun Wuji sat on the throne, listening to the ministers discussing the affairs of the court.
He deliberately pretended to be a mediocre king and left everything to Qi Zhen to decide. Qi Zhen was very satisfied with it all, but he looked disappointed on the surface.
After the court session, Cao, the chief steward, came to Qi Zhen's house and said to him, "Sir, the flood in your house caused any casualties?"
"No, everything is fine." Qi Zhen said.
"By the way, sir, I have one more thing to report to you." said Butler Cao.
"What's the matter?" Qi Zhen asked.
"That's right. Lord Zhang Henian submitted a memorial to His Majesty today, asking the court to adjust the military expenses of the garrison troops." said Chief Steward Cao.
"When did this happen? How come I don't know about it? Why didn't anyone inform me? And I haven't seen the memorial either." Qi Zhen said.
Chief Steward Cao said, "Sir, His Majesty had already agreed directly in front of Master Zhang, so you didn't see the memorial."
After hearing this, Qi Zhen became more and more puzzled about Changsun Wuji. If you say he is a mediocre monarch, he handles some things very well. If you say he is a wise monarch, he always throws the mess to himself. He clearly leaves everything in the court to himself, yet he does things without telling him.
Qi Zhen decided to adopt Fu Yao as his adopted daughter and send her to the palace for selection, so that he could make further progress with the help of this spy.
Fuyao entered the palace as Yuwen Zi to participate in the selection. Shi Lan reminded Fuyao beside her carriage, "Fuyao, you must remember the precautions of the selection. Don't act rashly to avoid exposing your identity. Don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't look at what you shouldn't look at."
Fuyao said that she knew what was going on.
