Chapter 904: It's Not That She's Angry With You, B
ly lay on the edge of the bed, constantly peering outside. When she saw a post station, she pulled her head back in. Just then, Fang Jinshu also opened her sleepy eyes."Sister-in-law, tonight we final...Fang Jinshi, with King Jing's piercing gaze upon her, bravely gulped down two mouthfuls of wine. Fortunately, a savior arrived. Fu Ming, accompanied by Shen Li, appeared amidst the commotion of a maidservant's announcement.
"It's better to be clever than fast, I didn't expect to catch up with Uncle Wang's breakfast."
He bowed slightly to Fu Shangyuan before sitting down.
Turning his head to look at Fang Jinshu next to him, "Jinshu sister, are you thinking of me"
"It's rare that you would take the initiative to have someone pass me a message."
Fang Jinshi put down her bowl and told Dong'er to quickly serve a bowl of porridge to King Jing, who had been eating black vinegar for half the day. After a while, she finally shifted the gaze that had been fixed on him like he was being devoured.
"Seventh Highness is very busy now, a common woman like myself shouldn't disturb you, but as a physician, I still need to inquire about Your Majesty's condition."
When it came to mentioning his mother, Fu Ming's eyes held a touch of sincere gratitude.
"Mother's body has recovered well, and her wounds have been carefully tended to as you instructed. They are now completely scabbed over and healed."
"But her abdominal scar, I wonder if there's any way to remove it"
A scar on a woman's body is no different from disfigurement. Even if the imperial concubine would no longer be allowed to share the emperor's bed, any woman wouldn't want such an unsightly scar on her body.
Fang Jinshu didn't say a word, and took out a tube of ointment from her sleeve.
"This, applied to the wound morning and night, should make the scar fade after a while."
Fan Jinshi gave things away without a second thought, as if she were handing out some worthless trinket.
The two men at the table, however, knew exactly how valuable what she held was.
Thank you.
Fu Ming took the ointment, he wouldn't give Fang Jinshu any empty promises. Since she had given him such a good thing, he naturally wouldn't take her advantage for granted.
Recently, several mysterious individuals have been entering and leaving the Prime Minister's residence, dressed in very heavy coverings.
"Shen Li said, these people are all martial arts masters. I also heard about what happened at the Hundred Vegetable Banquet."
Fu Mingchao beckoned with his hand behind him.
Shen Li appeared with two guards behind him.
"I'm lending you Shen Li for a while."
Fāng Jǐnxiù was taken aback, her heart pounding.
"Shen Li is your most skilled and trusted subordinate. You lend him to me, what will you do"
Fu Ming smiled, "Now that I'm in the palace, do you know how many people are eagerly waiting to see me every day"
"If you really feel guilty, then give me some more pills to extend my life."
At present, he has gathered a considerable network of contacts through the pills given to him by Fang Jinshu. However, whether these people are truly loyal to him remains to be seen.
Compared to his other brothers, his network of contacts is still far behind. Therefore, he still needs more pills.
Fang Jinxiu, without a word, gave Fu Ming another bottle of pills. This stuff wasn't difficult for her at all; her family even got a bottle every month for the likes of Xiao Yue and the others. It wasn't worth much to her anyway.
Fu Ming gave her a grateful glance.
Thank you.
"Also," he paused, "there's another piece of news, regarding Zongyu. I don't know if you'd want to hear it."
Fang Jinshu was just about to open her mouth to say she didn't want to, when Dong'er stood up first.
"Go on, Qi Ge. Tell me, how's my godfather now"
Fu Ming chuckled eastward, sometimes had to sigh, really the heavens playing tricks on people.
He had met Dong'er several years ago, and he didn't expect that this little fellow was actually his own cousin.
"Your stepfather is fine, the army has already begun its march back home, and it should arrive at the capital in about half a month."
Is it still half a month In half a month, Zongyu will be back.
Fang Jinxiu pretended not to care, but when she heard the news, she stopped eating involuntarily.
"That's wonderful, Mother! Did you hear My stepfather will be back in half a month."
East turned and looked at Jingwang.
"Father, may I take half a day off today I want to tell Grandma and Yuanbao the good news in person."
"Your younger brother and sister-in-law must also be very happy."
When the family heard that their stepfather was fine, they were no longer so worried.
Fang Jinxiu suddenly stood up, her face expressionless as she bowed to Fu Ming and Fu Shangyuan.
"The civilian woman remembered she had some more things to take care of, so she left ahead."
"My Lord Wang, Seventh Prince, please enjoy your meal. Farewell."
Fang Jinshu walked quickly, Dong'er came to her senses and her little face immediately crumpled with grievance.
"Father, Father King, did Dong'er speak wrongly and upset Mother"
Looking at his son's trembling face, on the verge of tears, Fu Shangyuan couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy towards Fang Jinxiu.
She was just Dong'er's stepmother, but in Dong'er's heart, her position was irreplaceable, even surpassing that of his own biological father.
"Huai's anger, she isn't angry with you, she's angry with your stepfather."
Dong'er didn't understand the adults' emotions, so Fu Shangyuan kindly explained it to his son.
"Who says your godfather doesn't keep his word If you made an appointment with someone very important to meet, and you waited for a long time but he didn't show up, wouldn't you be angry"
Dong'er thought about it, that would indeed be a little angry.
But he should be more worried about whether the other party is having any difficulties, otherwise, why wouldn't they comen the messy court affairs, and she hadn't already stirred things up.And Zongyu was going to return to the capital soon, at that time she didn't want to get involved in this muddy water but she might h...
