Chapter 405: Forced Separation
Chapter 405: Forced Separation
"Am I dreaming? Yinyin, you're finally back! It's all mother's fault. I shouldn't have tested the prince, and that's why you got lost. Wuwuwu..."
She said too much at once, almost everything she needed to say.
"Oh, mother, why are you crying? I'm back safe and sound, hahahaha..."
Su Lanyin suddenly panicked, and hurriedly pushed her away and spoke loudly, trying to brush it off.
Fu Wuyang, who was following behind with his hands covering his chest, was stunned for a moment, with doubt flashing in his eyes.
He thought carefully about what happened that day and understood it instantly.
No wonder Lu Wanjun suddenly said those inexplicable words. It turned out that she was trying to test whether he had any feelings for Su Lanyin.
When he thought of this, he did not feel angry, but instead felt a little happy.
Su Lanyin did not object at that time. Does this mean that she was also curious about his inner thoughts?
The two people's thoughts are actually very obvious, but no one is willing to break the window paper.
One is Su Lanyin, who is thin-skinned and somewhat sensitive to emotions, and the other is an old iron tree that never blooms all year round and is the type who cares too much about face.
It is naturally difficult for two people like this to take the first step together.
"No matter what, it's good to come back alive." Su Shengyan asked with concern, "Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"
Su Lanyin explained: "I was chased by a pack of wolves, but luckily Fu Wuyang came to save me, and then he hugged me and jumped off the cliff into the river."
"Oh my God! Are you injured?" Lu Wanjun felt distressed and immediately checked her up and down.
"Mother, I'm fine. Thanks to the prince for taking the blame for me, he was injured."
Everyone then noticed that Fu Wuyang was sitting there with a pale face, one hand covering his chest, and he looked very weak.
Although Su Shengyan's legs had just recovered, he was able to move freely. He immediately stood up and walked out: "I will go find the host master to take a look at the prince."
The abbot of Anguo Temple is a hermit who is not only proficient in martial arts and medicine, but also in Qimen Dunjia, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements.
Lu Wanjun also thanked him profusely, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my Yinyin. I really don't know how to thank you. How about this, Your Highness? I agree to this marriage!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them blushed!
Su Lanyin was so ashamed and angry that she immediately covered her mouth with a shout: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? What marriage?"
The corners of Fu Wuyang's mouth, which were originally raised, fell down. Looking at her attitude, he felt a little disappointed.
Is she unwilling?
Could it be that you really dislike his age?
But he is still in his prime, how can he be old?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Fu Wuyang stood up with a cold face and said, "Manager Lu, you don't have to be polite. I am too seriously injured, so I will go back to the next yard to rest."
He kept talking, and glared at Su Lanyin when he mentioned that his injuries were serious.
Lu Wanjun quickly got up and helped him walk out.
"I'll take the prince away!"
"No, no need..."
"Oh, you're welcome. You're our family's savior. I'll personally take you to rest!"
Fu Wuyang was so embarrassed that he wanted to refuse, but Lu Wanjun was so enthusiastic that it was terrifying.
It was said to be support, but in fact he was being dragged out by force, with no room for refusal.
After the two left, Su Lanyin was finally left alone.
She sat down on the chair with a sigh of relief, feeling confused for a moment.
It seems that what Lu Wanjun said just now made Fu Wuyang unhappy, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly changed his face, right?
That's true. After all, how could a woman like her, who came from a humble family, be worthy of King Xiaoyao?
It is said that the empress dowager often introduced him to noble ladies from famous families in Shengjing, but he was rejected without exception.
Previously, because of this incident, King Xiaoyao was accused of having a homosexual tendency.
Later I found out that he couldn't forget his childhood sweetheart Murong Zhu.
She had heard this name accidentally when she attended the prince's birthday banquet in the palace last time.
At that time, those noble ladies were discussing rumors about the young masters of the major families in Shengjing, including some royal relatives.
When they were talking about King Xiaoyao, she happened to pass by and stopped to listen.
Back then, the most powerful of the four major families in Shengjing was the Murong family.
Murong Zhu is the eldest daughter of the Murong family. Her father is the imperial tutor of the current dynasty, and her mother is Princess Zhaohe. She was brought into the palace to be the third princess's tutor since she was a child, and was deeply loved by the empress dowager.
Therefore, Murong Zhu grew up with the princes and princesses, especially she was closest to Fu Wuyang.
There are also rumors that the Queen Mother had intended to arrange a marriage for the two of them, but the Emperor did not allow it.
You know, the former King Xiaoyao was also one of the heirs favored by the late emperor. If he had not been born to the empress dowager's sister and was not from the same maternal family as the emperor, he would probably not have lived to this day.
The Murong family is powerful, and if they really support Fu Wuyang, the consequences will be disastrous.
The emperor issued an order to forcibly separate the two.
Murong Zhu was appointed to marry a newly crowned number one scholar, and the emperor even specially arranged for this number one scholar to take office in the most remote place.
As his wife, Murong Zhu naturally had to go with him.
At this point, Fu Wuyang and she were really separated completely and would never see each other again.
In the end, someone in the Murong family probably committed the crime of confiscating the family property, and even implicated Murong Zhu who was far away.
Before the couple died, they entrusted their only daughter to Fu Wuyang's care.
As for whether Murong Zhu and the top scholar were dead or not, there are actually many versions.
Some people said that the emperor felt guilty and did not send anyone to kill Murong Zhu, but simply exiled the couple further away.
Some people also say that they died a long time ago!
There are indeed people who say that they went to other countries to avoid being hunted down.
In short, no matter what, Fu Wuyang gave up the imperial court, went out into the world, wandered around the world, gradually formed a force in the world, and became the current King Xiaoyao.
Come to think of it, Fu Wuyang left the capital probably to find Murong Zhu's whereabouts, but it's a pity that there has been no news for so many years.
Thinking of this, Su Lanyin looked solemn and felt helpless.
How much one must love someone to go to the ends of the earth for her?
In his heart, I am afraid that I am not even as important as one finger of Murong Zhu.
So, he was angry because he heard what Lu Wanjun said just now?
Well, it’s useless to force feelings that don’t belong to her, not to mention that King Xiaoyao is not someone she can force.
Thinking of this, Su Lanyin felt a little relieved. It was good to end this relationship before it even began.
She breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and prepared to rest for a while, but she heard footsteps.
She stood up and walked out, and it turned out that it was Fu Mingchuan who walked in.
"Lan Yin."
Seeing her standing there unharmed, Fu Mingchuan smiled and trotted over to her in two steps.
"Great, you're finally back."
