After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 287

At such a critical moment, wouldn't it be too risky to arrange for the two to meet?

Without time to think, she hurriedly finished the work at hand, settled things, and left with her bag.

Before she could knock on the door, it opened from the inside and a figure rushed towards her.

She subconsciously raised her hand to push it away, just touching Fu Mingche's wound. The pain made him scream and jump several meters away.

Then he calmly closed the door and turned around to look him up and down.

What? It's so convenient now that you can't stay here?

When Ah Ren saw that it was the host, he hurried forward and started to complain.

Madam, you don’t know how noisy our master can be when you are not around.

Sometimes he said he wanted to drink some wine, sometimes he said he was holding it in, and he ran around the house all over.

I can't control it, whoever wants to control it can do so.

Ah Ren stood beside the woman, looking like he had abandoned his old master.

Fu Mingche didn't care about his own image and just grimaced at Ah Ren.

She knew that Fu Mingche was really feeling frustrated, so he wanted to make trouble.

But she still had no expression on her face. She turned around and opened the door again, glancing in his direction, with a clear expression on her face saying: Why aren't you leaving yet?

Fu Mingche smiled awkwardly. He was just joking. His body was not fully recovered yet. If he went out now, he would be seeking death.

Without opening the envelope, just by squeezing it with his hand, Fu Mingche understood his elder brother's intention.

He stuffed the envelope into her hand again, and the two of them went upstairs one after the other.

Do you know what my brother means?

She shook her head and rolled her eyes.

If I could guess it, why would I look for you?

Also.

Fu Mingche moved a stool to the side of the bed, asked her to sit down, and he half-lay on the bed.

My brother wants to cooperate with you.

Cooperation?

Since Jiang Mingcheng started working with Scarface, he has been acting more high-profile than before, but at the same time, his guards have also been strengthened.

I met him a few times by chance, and he was surrounded by a group of men in black who looked very proud.

It seems that someone recently proposed to protect both Yao Hua and Liu Zhiping. He is really afraid of death.

A tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves; no matter how brave Bu Shan is, he is still alone and weak.

After a little thought, she figured out the relationship.

I see.

Uncle Ren, I want to have dinner here today, thank you for your help.

She shouted to the outside of the door. Ah Ren was guarding outside the door. When he heard the words, he immediately responded.

Fu Mingche looked at the sky. It was almost evening. It might not be safe to go back after dinner, especially in this kind of world. It was even more dangerous.

As if she saw his dilemma, she leaned over to whisper in his ear, but her eyes were looking out the window.

There's someone following me, so I can't go back today.

Ever since she rescued Fu Mingche, for the sake of both their reputations and his safety, she had been using the excuse of doing office work to either rest in the office or return to the small house where she lived before she got married.

The small house was not far from the office, and for dozens of days, no one noticed anything wrong.

Now that someone has been sent here suddenly, I guess some people are becoming suspicious again.

Fu Mingche was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you know who they are? Are they targeting me?

Fu Mingche was anxious and asked several questions in succession.

She glanced at him amusedly, her eyes curved.

Are you lying there stupidly? If there was something wrong, would I still be able to sit here and talk to you so easily? Those people just wanted to find out what happened because my prince hadn't shown up for a long time.

Don't worry, Xiaoliu and I are here, nothing will happen. You can just stay here and recover peacefully. Even if something happens, you can just deal with it as it comes. Why worry so much?

She seemed not to care about those minions at all, so Fu Mingche lay back down.

Since she wasn't worried, he had nothing to say.

After dinner, she pushed Xiaoliu, who had changed his appearance and was sitting in a wheelchair, slowly around the yard.

She turned around and went home to get a thin quilt, and gently covered Xiaoliu with it. Xiaoliu reached out and held his wife's hand in his palm.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two are like a loving couple who care about each other, and their eyes are full of love.

Bullshit affectionate look. He is a gentleman but still so close to his wife. His hands hidden under the quilt are trembling. Xiaoliu wants to cry but has no tears.

When the prince comes back, can he ask his wife to ask the prince to save his life?

Noticing Xiaoliu's little movement, she quietly withdrew her hand, patted him twice comfortingly, and the smile on her face became more obvious.

I didn't expect the people under him to be so interesting.

Thinking of the man who had been away from home for several months, she couldn't help but feel dazed and her body swayed a few times.

Xiaoliu pushed the wheelchair towards her and looked at her worriedly.

Madam, what's wrong with you?

She rubbed her aching forehead and waved towards the distance.

It’s okay. I guess you’re just too tired from working so I just need to take a break.

The housekeeper came over and pushed Xiaoliu back. She gave a few brief instructions and went back to the room.

Xiaoliu had already gotten out of the wheelchair after going upstairs and followed her to the direction of King Yao's room.

After she fell asleep, Xiaoliu would wait outside the door and take a nap, just in case.

In the middle of the night, Xiaoliu, who was sleeping lightly, noticed some movement outside the house, and hurriedly turned around, grasped the door handle and walked in.

Ma'am, wake up, there's someone outside.

Because she was worried, she didn't sleep well.

Hearing something was happening, he quickly stood up and pulled out the dagger from under his pillow, and stood by the door frame with Xiaoliu, one on each side. The footsteps outside were light but chaotic, not like those from trained fighters, so it was basically certain that these were not sent by Scarface.

There was a sound of a door opening outside, and the butler walked out slowly with his eyes narrowed. The group of people hurriedly retreated, and their footsteps became slightly louder.

She and Xiaoliu pretended to have just been woken up. Holding daggers in their hands, they blocked one of the men who wanted to escape by jumping out of the window in the corner of the corridor.

You again?

She rolled her eyes. She had seen this guy countless times.

Liu Zhiping didn't know to change to someone more unfamiliar, so she couldn't take the opportunity to punch him.

When the team leader saw that he was discovered, he quickly put on a flattering smile and turned around.

Madam, what a coincidence.

Xiao Liu, tell me, what do your parents want to do by sending you here?

She played with the dagger in her hands, turning the tip of the blade back and forth between her hands, but always pointing it at him.

Captain Liu swallowed nervously, his eyes fixed on the dagger in her hand, fearing that she would accidentally drop it.

He might have been more confident before, but in recent years, this lady has become known for her kindness but cruelty. Anyone who has been targeted by her is either dead or on the way to death.

I wasn't assigned any tasks, it's just that my brothers and I are a little short of money recently and want to get some money to spend.
