Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 125: Exposing Concubine Chun

"Yingluo, why are you here?" Fu Heng smiled and let the soft little hands cover his eyes. He easily guessed the other person's identity and asked in a light tone, "Are you well now?"

"How do you know it was me?" Wei Yingluo chuckled, slowly put down her hand, and lightly walked around to his side.

The pain she suffered a few days ago had made her lose a lot of weight. The palace dress that originally fit her now seemed a little empty on her body, but it made her waist look even thinner, as if it could be held in one hand.

However, the smile on her face was more charming than ever.

Her smile to him was always completely different from her smile to others, with a different kind of intimacy.

"I'm fine now, thanks to the careful care of a certain snail gentleman." Wei Yingluo blinked, her eyes as cunning as a fox, "He changed the handkerchief on my forehead every night and wiped my hands and arms with cold water."

"Ahem." Hearing the name "Mr. Tianluo", Fu Heng covered his lips with his fist uncomfortably and coughed lightly, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes, "Who is this person?"

Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Wei Yingluo also pretended to be stupid and said in surprise, "Isn't it you?"

Fu Heng shook his head, looking innocent.

"...What should I do then?" Wei Yingluo bit her lips lightly, her lips looking like red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.

She lowered her head slightly and said softly: "I thought he was you, my future husband, so I allowed him to wipe my hands and arms..."

When Fu Heng heard this, he was shocked and stunned.

"Since it's not you, then I'll leave." Wei Yingluo sighed softly and turned around to leave.

Fu Heng looked at her leaving, his heart filled with regret and helplessness. "Wait!" Fu Heng could no longer sit still, and hurriedly stood up and grabbed her arm.

Wei Yingluo stopped but did not look back. She just stood there quietly.

Her body was trembling slightly, and she seemed to be trying hard to control her emotions (actually she was laughing).

"...Is there anything else you want to say to me?" Her voice was a little hoarse, as if it contained a little fatigue and disappointment.

Fu Heng sighed softly, trying to find the right words to comfort Wei Yingluo.

However, his throat seemed to be blocked and he could not make any sound. "I..." Fu Heng did not know how to explain.

Fu Heng was secretly annoyed and regretted not being honest with the other party just now. He didn't know how to end this situation now.

Just then, Hailancha's loud voice came from outside the door, breaking the silence between the two.

"Fu Heng! I've been enduring this for ten days straight, I'm almost exhausted--" Hailancha's voice was filled with fatigue and complaints.

Fu Heng came back to his senses, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

With a clang, the heavy vermilion lacquered door slowly opened. Hailancha kept pushing the door, standing there in a daze.

He looked around, an awkward but flattering smile appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself: "Oh, I think I came at the wrong time... I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now... You guys continue, you guys continue..."

After saying this, he quietly closed the door and left on tiptoe.

Wei Yingluo suddenly turned around and punched Fu Heng hard in the chest.

Her face was as red as her lips, but her expression did not look angry, but more like shyness.

She gritted her teeth and said coquettishly, "Humph, you still dare to say it's not you, and you haven't rested for ten days!"

"Yingluo, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me." Fu Heng's face turned red and he scratched his head embarrassedly.

Wei Yingluo was not willing to give in, and deliberately stretched out her voice to ask, "If you want me to forgive you, first tell me, what is your relationship with Concubine Chun?"

As she spoke, her eyes widened and her expression became serious as if she was catching someone cheating.

Fu Heng was startled by her gaze and quickly explained: "Empress Chun? What relationship can there be between her and me? She is my sister's best friend, but there is a difference between men and women, and there is no close relationship between her and me..."

Wei Yingluo was even more confused. Given Fu Heng's personality, he would definitely not lie.

But if Fu Heng really didn't promise anything to Concubine Chun, why was Concubine Chun so persistent?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but mutter: "Then why does she keep thinking about you?"

Hearing this, Fu Heng frowned and asked in confusion, "Yingluo, what do you mean? The more you talk, the less I understand."

Wei Yingluo looked at the silly man in front of her, feeling angry and annoyed. She couldn't help but punch him and angrily scolded him, "Idiot! Concubine Chun has always liked you secretly! That's why she has been avoiding her favor!"

This time it was Fu Heng's turn to be stunned. He really didn't understand why Concubine Chun suddenly had a good impression of him, so he tried hard to recall whether he and Concubine Chun had any intersection, but he still couldn't figure out the reason.

He anxiously grabbed Wei Yingluo's shoulders and said, "Yingluo, believe me, I really don't have any private dealings with her! You are the only one in my heart."

Wei Yingluo looked at Fu Heng's sincere eyes and her heart softened.

She sighed softly and said to him comfortingly, "Oh, okay, okay, I know, I believe you."

Even so, she still felt a little disappointed, because what she wanted to know was not Fu Heng's feelings, although she was very happy to hear his love words.

But she wanted to know more about why Concubine Chun fell in love with Fu Heng.

After all, only by having more information can she give Concubine Chun the heaviest blow when she attempts to harm the Empress.

Wei Yingluo decided to reveal some of her thoughts to Fu Heng, so she added seriously: "Fu Heng, if Concubine Chun finds you later and says something, you must tell me the first time! This is very important!"

After hearing this, Fu Heng thought that Wei Yingluo didn't believe him, so he hurriedly "expressed his loyalty". He answered without hesitation: "Okay, okay, I promise!"

Seeing Fu Heng's firm attitude, Wei Yingluo finally felt relieved.

She smiled slightly and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back to Changchun Palace first."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

She turned and left, leaving Fu Heng standing there alone, silently looking at her receding back.

Fu Heng subconsciously raised his hand and touched his chest. In his mind, he had both Yingluo's charming and lovely appearance just now and the disbelief of knowing Concubine Chun's thoughts. He fell into deep thought.

"I really didn't mean it." Hailancha opened the door and walked in again. He thought Wei Yingluo left in a hurry because he had just interrupted their conversation.

He rubbed his hands quickly and said carefully: "How about... I take your shift for another day?"

Fu Heng glared at him, then raised his fist as if to hit him.

Hailancha was so frightened that he closed his eyes and his body trembled.

However, he did not feel any pain. When he opened his eyes, he found that Fu Heng's fist was less than an inch away from his nose, looking at him with a half-smile.

Fu Heng retracted his fist and gently pushed Hailancha, causing him to stagger. Then, he gently patted the non-existent dust on his hands and said with a smile: "No need! You big mouth!"
