Chapter 233: Exhaling

    

be like Lei Feng in this society How could anyone sacrifice themselves for others But she just happened to meet someone like that. 。"Junior Sister, since Master has already made a decision, both...Fu Zi Mo turned his head and stared intently at Qin Luo Yan, as if he wanted to see something in her face. Qin Luo Yan was made uncomfortable by his gaze and gave a wry smile, then said, "What Did I say something wrong"

“No, I just feel that you are a bit different from what I imagined.” Fu Zimo smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes showed more appreciation for her. “Sometimes I think you’re very cunning, and sometimes I think you’re very smart. After all, not every woman can make weapons. Before, I even thought you were too kind. Now it seems that you are not as harmless as you appear on the surface.”

Qin Luoyan stuck out her tongue, "Knowing that I'm not kind, you seem quite pleased" Don't men all like those white lotus flowers The kind who are gentle as flowing water

"Do you think I need kind people around me" Fu Zimo let out a light snort. He was an extremely dark being himself, like a demon lord. He didn't need a pure fairy to save him; he needed someone who could stand by his side and understand him.

A lily That's what scholars would like, not him, Fu Zimo.

Qin Luoyan honestly shook her head. Indeed, Fu Zimo didn't need a kind woman by his side, "Then why did you laugh at me just now Where did I say something wrong"

“Yun Xiaoxue will die one day, but definitely not now.” Fu Zimo’s smile finally showed a hint of ferocity, but it seemed he was unwilling to show his most wicked side in front of Qin Luoyan. So he quickly put away the ferocity, “The last time Yun Xiaoxue tricked me into the valley, something major happened to the Yun family. On the surface, it seemed that Yun Xiaoxue’s aunt, who is also the lord of the valley, launched an attack to compete for power. Actually, it was all just a play put on for me.”

"You're saying that Yun Xiaoxing had a purpose from the moment she met you" Qin Luoyan was astonished, finding people even more unfathomable than she imagined. It seemed that from the very beginning, many things were different from what she had envisioned. At least, Fu Zimu's apparent indulgence towards Yun Xiaoxing wasn't because of Yun Xiaoxing or her sister, but because of the purpose Yun Xiaoxing possessed."

He kept his cards close to his chest, enduring for over a year.

“When I first entered the valley, something felt off. I just couldn't figure out what they were planning, so I kept quiet. But Yun Xiaoying was quite patient. She waited until now to make her move. Perhaps, though, this isn't the best time for her to act. I had guessed that she would wait until the poison in my body became uncontrollable, as that would greatly diminish my ability to resist and minimize the risk of accidents.”

Fu Zimuo smiled softly, reaching out to touch Qin Luoyan's face. "It should be your appearance that stimulated Yun Xiaoying, so she made her move ahead of schedule. Now I haven't weakened to the worst point, so I was given the opportunity to wake up."

"Well... in that case, would you say I'm your benefactor" Qin Luoyan playfully climbed up the metaphorical ladder, her eyes twinkling mischievously.

Fu Zi Mo was stunned, as if he rarely saw her so beautiful. He couldn't help but lean forward and bite onto her red lips. After a while, he opened his eyes and found Qin Luo Yan still staring blankly with wide eyes. He couldn't help but sigh, "Are you so happy that you're stunned"

"Uh…" A burning sensation came to her mouth, and Qin Luoyan's cheeks also flushed red. She blinked, then blinked again, before coming back to her senses. "You, you...how did you suddenly..."

Before she could finish her words, Fu Zimo kissed her again. But this time, he wasn't as domineering as before. Instead, he treated her with gentleness and tenderness, his touch loving and caring.

After a long while, he finally let go of her lips and smiled: “Why all of a sudden it’s you You are my woman, I want to kiss, then kiss. Are you satisfied with this answer”

Qin Luoyan rolled her eyes at him, secretly delighted. But then she thought of Yun Xiaorouer and couldn't help but frown, "Are you afraid of scaring the snake We can't kill Yun Xiaorouer, so what should we do"

"Why are you, a woman, worrying about these things I'll take care of them." Fu Zimo smiled, let go of her and stood up. Then he took her hand and walked outside. Qin Luoyan was about to ask where they were going when Fu Zimo said, "Since it's not dark yet, I'll take you to get some things."

At that time, Qin Luoyan had no idea what Fu Zimo meant by taking her to get something.

When she inexplicably followed him into the palace and then blindly followed him into the treasury, in the end, he pointed to the things in the treasury and said to her: "Pick some you like, and in a few days, take these things into the prince's mansion when you get married."

If it weren't for the fact that there were a dozen or so eunuchs and guards standing beside him, and Fu Zimo spoke without any regard for anyone, she would have thought he was joking with her.

This is the national treasury, not a small warehouse in his manor. As long as his lord agrees, he can just pick a few things to take away. This is the national treasury, everything here belongs to the entire country of Nan Yue, even though this country is under a monarchy, everything in the country belongs to the monarch. But, letting her come here to choose fake ones, isn't that a bit too exaggerated

"Fu, Fu Zimo, are you really letting me pick here" This is way too extravagant, she thought, remembering those domineering CEOs in idol dramas who would wave their hands and have the shop assistants wrap up everything except this one item for the female lead.

In her modern times, she had no chance to experience such moments of extravagance. Unexpectedly, after crossing into ancient times, heaven bestowed upon her this opportunity.

“This is still your first time stammering when you speak.” Fu Zi Mo found her even more amusing now, reaching out to tap her forehead, “Woman, how can you be so materialistic Wealth and possessions are external things, aren’t you placing too much importance on them”

Qin Luoyan slapped away his hand, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice as she rebuked, "If wealth is an external thing, then why did the King endure humiliation and become powerful Isn't wealth also a form of power"

Her words made Fu Zimo chuckle softly, “Yes, this is the kind of woman I like. If you really pretended to be someone who disdains wealth and status, I would actually find it disgusting.”

Seeing that she stood there motionless, Fu Zimu pulled her hand forward and led her to a jewelry box. He casually picked up a few strands of agate necklaces, "Take a look, do you like these"

The agate was of excellent quality, each piece crystal clear and translucent, as if one could clearly see their own reflection from within. This kind of agate was not the inferior kind found on the market. She had seen it in a jewelry shop before, where a thumb-sized piece cost dozens of taels of silver. With so many strands, it would surely cost tens of thousands of taels.

She hesitated a little, glancing at the stern-faced palace guards surrounding her. She was afraid that if she moved even one thing here, she wouldn't be able to walk out alive.

"I do like it, but I'm too afraid to take it." Qin Luoyan spoke frankly, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Fu Zi Mo was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "With just your courage, how dare you keep yelling at this King" He shook his head and pointed to several boxes, instructing the eunuch supervisor beside him, "Send these boxes to the Prince's Mansion."

The old eunuch still had a fawning smile on his face, but his eyes betrayed a hint of fear. The value of that chest was beyond anything he, a mere servant, could have ever dreamed of. Only Prince Wu Xuan would be so generous.

Qin Luoyan watched as the old eunuch directed the guards to start moving the boxes. Only then did she realize, this was really happening, she was truly a wealthy woman now, picking her dowry from the national treasury.

"Come with me, I know he's hidden something good." Fu Zi Mo said this, and pulled Qin Luo Yan forward, all the way to a sandalwood shelf. On the shelf were some ornaments, each one seemed to be shining with value.

"Are you giving me that Guanyin statue" Qin Luoyan raised her head and immediately saw a jade-carved Bodhisattva statue right in front of her.

Fu ZiMo shook his head and sighed, "Just these few things, could he even be considered hiding good stuff" As soon as Fu ZiMo finished speaking, he moved a few things on the shelves, then a stone gate beside him opened, revealing a room inside.

Qin Luoyan followed in clumsily, her eyes widening so much she couldn't bear to close them. The room wasn't big, but every item inside was something Qin Luoyan had never seen even in museums. A basketball-sized pearl that glowed in the dark was abandoned in the farthest corner of the room, and one could only imagine the value of the other items.

"The things here are much better than those outside, but judging by his stingy personality, he probably won't give you too many. Just take two at random." Fu Zimo stood beside her, giving a simple introduction.

Man is killed by wealth and bird by food. At this moment, Qin Luoyan deeply felt the impulse coming from greed. She hated that she couldn't care about anything and had to grab anything here and run, even a single thing could give her a few lifetimes.

Though the room was small, it was still divided into several sections. Each section had a simple sign above it. Qin Luoyan looked all the way through and finally stopped in front of the shelf with medicinal herbs.

Seeing her stare intently at the shelf of herbs, Fu Zimo frowned on Tuesday. "Although these medicinal herbs are very precious, they are not easy to preserve. Some herbs will become waste if they are not used after a period of time. Are you sure you want to see which ones are valuable and will never go bad"

Qin Luoyan turned her head and glanced at him, a gentle smile playing on her lips, but she still didn't move her feet. Instead, she picked up several medicinal herbs from the shelf. Among them was a palm-sized fruit, already shriveled and yellowed, looking unremarkable. However, the sign hanging on the fruit revealed its preciousness.

"Blood-Covered Fruit." Qin Luoyan remembered Mr. Zhou saying before that the Blood-Covered Fruit came from the Western Regions and seemed to have a certain effect on poisons. It was one of the best holy medicines for treating poisons.

Fu Zi Mo came over and took a glance, his eyes becoming even more gentle, "Do you think this thing is helpful to this King"

"I heard it can cure poisons. Have you tried it" Qin Luoyan held the Mengxue fruit tightly, her hand feeling a warm sensation from it, as if her blood was boiling.

Fu Zi Mo smiled faintly and nodded, "I've tried it, but only ate a sliver the size of my fingernail. It doubled the frequency of my poison attacks."

Qin Luoyan thought about it, and felt that it made sense. With Fu Zimu's leisurely stroll even when entering and leaving the treasury, he must have a good understanding of everything here. How could he not know which herbs would be useful to him

But she still didn't want to let it go. What precious thing could compare to good health

She thought for a moment, then still took the blood-soaked fruit from the shelf and also grabbed a few herbs that could cure any poison. After getting everything, she waved the spoils in her hand and said, "Alright."

Fu Zi Mo's brows were tightly knit, "Have I ever told you, this king doesn't need a soft-hearted and kind woman. You don't have to hold back or feel embarrassed for the sake of face and not take what you truly like."

"How did you know I wasn't being sincere" Qin Luoyan rolled her eyes at him, then grabbed something and walked out of the small room. However, deep down, she admired Fu Zimo once again with a sense of awe.

Indeed, Fu Zimu had already moved several large boxes beforehand, the contents were already sufficient for her. She didn't need to take anything else from this small room. After all, no one would be completely indifferent. Even though the emperor favored Fu Zimu, even a favored person should know their limits. Otherwise, once they lost the emperor's favor, these riches wouldn't be enough to buy it back.

But, she needn't say these words. Fu Zimo already understood.

Looking at her back, Fu Zimo's eyes became profound. His fists clenched unconsciously, and a bloody smell rose in his heart. Her face turned pale, she gritted her teeth and quickly circulated her internal energy to suppress the bloody taste.

Two days before the wedding, Qin Tiancheng arrived at Wuxuan Royal Manor with Chen Shi and his other sons. Their purpose was simple: to claim Qin Luo'yan as a member of the Qin family, since she was marrying out of the family, she naturally had to leave from the Qin residence. Therefore, they came to take Qin Luo'yan home.

Fu Zimo received this group of people who claimed to be Qin Luoyan's family in the hall. He sat in the main seat, his eyes were a little dark, staring straight at Qin Tiancheng. "General Qin said that Luoyan is your daughter, do you have evidence To be honest, since Qin Luoyan was married by the Emperor, there are always a few people who come to visit, saying they are Qin Luoyan's uncle or aunt. After my people investigated, they were all scammers. General Qin, don't mind, I deal with things and not people."

“Where, where, this official understands, understands.” Qin Tiancheng raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He felt like he was on pins and needles, wishing he could find a hole to crawl into. He had been in office for many years, so how could he not understand Fu Zimu's subtext It's just that this matter was too important to Qin Tiancheng, so even if Fu Zimu didn't give him any face, he had to endure it.

Since Qin Luoyan's identity was exposed, he has been under pressure from many factions in court these days. The reason for this is needless to say, it must be related to Fu Zimo. It's all that useless Qin Xiner's fault, she actually made such a scene in the palace.

He's a man, and he doesn't think Fu Zimu really fell hard for Qin Luoyan. After all, women are just playthings, especially someone like Luoyan who has been alluring to men since childhood. However, in the palace, in front of so many people, what Qin Xiner did humiliated Fu Zimu. Fu Zimu's retaliation and suppression is also justified.

In Qin Tiancheng's view, Fu Zimo's insistence on defending Qin Luoyan was merely to preserve the face of the King Wu Xuan.

As Qin Tiancheng was at a loss, Fu Zimo, who sat in the main seat, was getting impatient. He lightly tapped his chair back with his fingers and lazily said, "If General Qin can't produce any evidence, please leave. This lord is a bit tired as we need to prepare for the wedding these two days."

For matters concerning the wedding, there's no need for him to get his hands dirty. It's just an excuse he's making up. Qin Tiancheng immediately became anxious upon hearing this and quickly patted his hand, saying, "Your Highness, every member of the Qin family has a record in the government office. As long as we retrieve their household registration documents, we can prove that my fourth daughter is indeed named Qin Luo Yan."

“But a name, there are so many people with the same name and surname in the world, how can you prove she is your daughter Besides, when she met this King, she had nothing to do with your Qin residence. After so long, now you remember this daughter, how can you make this King happy” Fu Zimo snorted coldly, his face darkened, he stood up by patting the back of the chair, “Jin Mu! Send her off, don't let people like her into the palace in the future!”

Jin Muyi listened, immediately agreeing and signaling to the two guards with his eyes. He was about to drive Qin Tiancheng away, but Qin Tiancheng was anxious. Chen Shi, however, was even more anxious than him, and she immediately pulled his arm back, shouting, "Your Highness, we have evidence! We have evidence!"

Qin Tiancheng was furious upon hearing this, wishing he could immediately cover her mouth. He growled, "You woman, what are you talking about!"

At his roar, Mrs. Chen immediately burst into tears and said pitifully, "Master, Xin'er is still imprisoned in the Heavenly Jail. How dare I speak nonsense But she is your daughter, how can we have no evidence There is a wound the size of a thumb on her chest, which was personally inflicted by you with your sword!"

“Shut up!” Qin Tiancheng was furious, his face flushed red. This King Wu Xuan was just making things difficult for them to vent his anger. After this humiliation, once his anger subsided, the matter would be over. Where did he really want them to find evidence The fact that Qin Luoyan was the fourth young lady of the Qin family had spread throughout Fengqicheng, from the main streets to the back alleys. It was an undeniable truth.

This kind of news, without General Wu Xuan's permission, who would dare to spread it around How could it possibly get out Since General Wu Xuan has approved it, that means Qin Luo'yan will definitely leave the General's Mansion as a bride. It's just that this process of getting angry is indispensable.

But Chen's vision was short-sighted. To say that Qin Luoyan had been wounded by him, wasn't this adding fuel to the fire and presenting the mistake to King Wu Xuan

As expected, Fu Zi Mo's pupils immediately contracted upon hearing this. He had indeed seen the thumb-sized wound on Qin Luo Yan's chest, but back then when she had asked about it, she had just brushed it off casually.

I never expected that the wound was inflicted by Qin Tiancheng himself. What a wonderful father he is!

"Jin Mu, what are you still doing" Fu Zi Mo snorted coldly and turned to leave.

When Jinmu saw him leave, he immediately ordered the guards to drive Qin Tiancheng and his group out.

Outside the main gate of the Wangfu, Qin Tiancheng slapped Chen Shi's face. "You messed things up! Chen Shi, I used to think you were quite sensible, how come you've become so reckless now"

After Qin Tiancheng finished speaking, he got into the carriage and left on his own, leaving Chen Shi standing dumbfounded at the gate of Wuxuan王府. Seeing Qin Tiancheng leave, the others hesitated for a moment before following him. Between Chen Shi and Qin Tiancheng, the people from Qin Mansion would always choose Qin Tiancheng.

Inside the grand palace gate, a slender figure was walking towards the entrance.

"Madam, His Royal Highness has truly done you a favor today." Qingzhu stood beside Qin Luoyan, her face filled with envy. "In all these years, Qingzhu has never seen His Royal Highness so attentive to anyone else."

Qin Luo'yan didn't come back to her senses, she just walked step by step towards the door. When she came to Chen shi's side, she couldn't help but smile, her laughter was crisp and pleasant, causing Chen shi beside her to turn her head.

"How does it feel, being scorned by the man you once thought was heaven-sent Helplessness, resentment, despair" Qin Luoyan stood beside her, following her gaze to see the carriages that had already disappeared into the distance.

Chen turned her head and glared at her fiercely, "You, you are really a…"

“Poisonous woman” Qin Luoyan laughed, looking up. “Didn't you teach me all these things Now that I have no one to rely on, the only support I have is King Wu Xuan. Just as you relied on Qin Tiancheng to suppress us other illegitimate children back then, what I'm doing is just returning the favor. And I am kinder than you, at least I haven't hired someone to kill you and take your life!”

“Dare you” Chen gritted her teeth.

Qin LuoYan shrugged, "What's there to be afraid of I already have the reputation of being a poisonous woman. Isn't it normal to do something that lives up to my name Besides, you don't need to waste your effort. Qin Xiner won't be released so easily. After all, she really wanted to kill me back then. To just let her go, I wouldn't feel satisfied."

As soon as she mentioned Qin Xiner, Chen shi immediately panicked. The arrogance and domineering attitude she had just displayed vanished, replaced by a pleading tone as she tugged at Qin Luoyan's sleeve. "What do you want What will it take for you to let my daughter go Just tell me!"

“Forgiveness You three have tried to kill me four times! Now you want me to forgive you like a Buddha” Qin Luoyan sneered, “Sorry, I can’t do that. However… If you really want to save Qin Xin’er, I could point you in the right direction. One person, as long as they go mad, what they do can be forgiven. But I don't like pretending to be insane.”
