Chapter 316 Faith
"You can't go back to your house." Fu Jinzhan said in a low voice, "There is a girl named Yuqing next to her. She grew up together since she was a child. She can tell at a glance. What's more, the second sister now thinks that I'm dealing with big things in the palace. When she goes back tomorrow, she will know that I'm going to your house... your guards outside?"
Guo Shao said: "My guards can't even see the second sister's people, so they have nowhere to say anything. Who will remember when the second sister went back in a while?"
Fu Jinzhan was still worried and murmured again: "Apart from Cao Tai and Mu Shang Palace, no one else knew that the person who came out was me; Cao Tai used the excuse that there was an urgent matter, but only the second sister knew..."
She thought about it over and over again, and was very confused.
"What did I do?" Fu Jinzan put his hand on his smooth forehead, pursed his red lips, shook his head and sighed gently.
At this moment, Guo Shao said calmly, "Don't panic. Instead of being entangled in the details, it's better to think like this: Even if everyone in the world knows about you and me, what can we do? Who can't turn back because of this little thing? Then Li Chongjin and Li Jixun's good example were just placed there... Everyone in the world knows that Yang Yuhuan is the daughter-in-law of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and no one has seen anyone rebelled because of this; Wu Zetian was also the empress dowager, so what can I do on my own? If you have power, you can do whatever you want, otherwise people will fight for the power to die!"
Fu Jinzhan felt a little relieved... She could understand these things at first, so she felt that the consequences were not too serious at first. After all, it is difficult to have real evidence for such things. People cannot do anything to her just because of rumors.
But what made her confused was Fu Ermei. She thought: The second sister regarded me as the closest and most despised her, and regarded Guo Shao as more important than anything else. The two closest people she betrayed her... If the second sister knew, she would not know how sad it would be.
Then she thought: The nobles of the Fu family care about face very much. If they were known by their fathers and brothers, as the empress dowager in the world, the most respected woman in the world actually had a bad morality, and I don’t know how I would dislike me.
Fu Jinzhan suddenly frowned and said, "Or, why don't you send me back now! I regret what I did today."
Guo Shao pondered for a moment and whispered: "Since the empress dowager has decided, I won't force me... I think of an excuse to ask the groom to turn around and return to the palace."
Under such circumstances, the Empress Dowager slightly stabbed Fu Jinzan. She couldn't help but say, "You went to Jinzhou for only one month before and after, I wrote three letters to my second sister; the letter was full of affection. But the only one who wrote to me was memorial, and there was nothing but military information."
"Second sister actually showed you my letter?" Guo Shao was a little surprised, "That's her privacy."
Fu Jinzhan said coldly: "She not only showed it to me, but also showed off her in front of me with a happy look."
Guo Shao said helplessly: "My second sister is indifferent. She may just be happy, not to show off."
"After all, he is a legitimate wife." Fu Jinzhan said quietly, "Do you slowly think that the second sister is the right person to accompany you? I am just your current ally?"
Guo Shao said: "If I thought so, why did you look at your body in the palace last time? Have you not known what kind of person I am yet to think that I will do something that will be a mess and ignore the end?"
Fu Jinzhan's face turned red, and she felt her cheeks getting hot.
At this time, Guo Shao slapped the wooden board in front of the carriage and shouted: "Go to the Fu family's house in the west of the city."
Fu Jinzhan did not object, and sat there without saying a word, still pondering himself. When the seal of military power was handed over a month ago, the waist ornament that Guo Shao wore appeared in front of her again, and her heart suddenly felt turbulent.
I was really too nervous just now, so I said nonsense. Guo Shao went out to write letters outside, so of course it was impossible to write private letters to her. Those memorials were most likely to be seen by the Privy Council first and then into his own hands... After all, officials would think that the letters sent back from the front line and submitted to the Queen Mother were military information.
After being silent for a long time, Fu Jinzhan finally gradually calmed down. She still felt guilty about Fu Ermei and felt ashamed of her self-contained identity. She neither objected nor took the initiative, and sat in the car and passed by.
The Fu family house in the west of the city now has no owner to live there, and King Wei is now in Hebei. However, there are more than a dozen servants left there to watch and clean it up. When they arrived in front of the mansion, Guo Shao got out of the carriage and asked someone to knock on the door. The servant who was guarding the door recognized Guo Shao and hurried out to pay a visit. Guo Shao said, "Madam, come and take a look, open the door and let us in."
"Yes! Welcome General Guo and the second wife." The slave said hurriedly.
Guo Shao ordered the groom to drive the car directly into the yard, and the crowd also led the horse in. The house occupied a large area and was originally the mansion of King Wei in Tokyo. Now the Fu family does not live here, and the gardener and slaves have left more than ten people to take care of.
Guo Shao settled outside, then went to the back of the carriage to hold Fu Jinzhan. Fu Jinzhan put on a hat and walked out of the car slowly. The two of them walked along the corridor for a long time before entering a gatehouse and reaching the inner house.
At this time, night had already fallen, and there was a lantern under the eaves and on the roadside from time to time; but because no one lived there, there were few lights, and the inner house was quiet and dim. Fu Jinzhan was used to the brightly lit palace next to him, and felt a little scared for a moment.
Guo Shao held the lantern and turned around and closed the door of the gatehouse and said, "In such a huge place, there are only two of us now, and no one knows what we do."
Fu Jinzhan looked at him with a smile and said slowly: "What do you want to do?"
Guo Shao was speechless.
After the two walked for a while, Fu Jinzhan stopped, pointed to a place and said, "I have lived in that wing room before." Guo Shao said, "Then let's go over and take a look."
The door was not locked and opened with a slight push. There was a large hall inside. The bedroom was behind a screen. Maybe there was a curtain behind the screen, but now it has been taken. The hall has been cleaned, and although it is not spotless, it looks clean.
Fu Jinzhan walked to a few tables, touched them with his fingers, and gently sat down. There was only one lantern brought in by Guo Shao in the room. The light was very dim and it was dark a little farther away. Guo Shao held the lantern and looked around before walking back.
He put down the lantern, sat down next to Fu Jinzhan, and said, "Sometimes I can't help but wonder, what would happen to the Empress Dowager if she hadn't recovered from her serious illness in Huainan? What would happen to the second sister?"
After hearing this, Fu Jinzhan easily followed his statement and thought about it. Guo Shao was already a general in charge of the Imperial Guards at that time, and he might still be promoted in Huainan in the future... but he definitely couldn't marry Fu Ermei; because no one was in charge of this matter, and the late emperor had already planned to replace the queen with the second wife of the Fu family and continue to maintain a reliable relationship with the Fu family.
Guo Shao has no one in the center and most of them cannot participate in decision-making. Zhao Kuangyin or Zhang Yongde was seriously ill in the late emperor and would become older after his death, which would fare away from Guo Shao's status. Not Zhao and Zhang, there must be others; but Zhao Kuangyin has a greater chance because he is the most trusted by the late emperor among capable generals. Guo Shao may be eliminated by them as a threat, or surrender early, and continue to get a job under Zhao Kuangyin.
But the second sister was miserable. She had no experience and talent in power and scheming as the empress dowager, and could not make the strong people respectful and effective. She would definitely be teased by others as a monkey and finally throwing away the country.
"The Empress Dowager created me now and changed the fate of her second sister." Guo Shao said in a daze.
Fu Jinzan pursed her red lips and whispered: "But you saved my life... I saved me more than once." Her voice was gentle and gentle, with a slight tremor. She was usually calm and majestic, and it was difficult to speak in this tone.
Guo Shao turned his head to look at her face and said in a depressing voice: "I live in this world, which is actually the process of slowly approaching Jinzhan. When I get to you, I have the whole world. You have a mysterious power for me. I have always believed so firmly. If you suddenly have no you, then I will be empty and feel that the whole world has no meaning and no belief. So I will not change anything because of marrying a wife I like, and will not be shaken by anything... My love for my second sister is another kind. Sometimes she is like a sister, sometimes like a real wife; I have never been confused with Jinzhan."
Fu Jinzhan felt warm when she heard this, although the unoccupied room was really cold. She just wanted to hear Guo Shao's words to make her feel at ease and make her feel that everything she did was valuable.
But Fu Jinzhan felt that he was too greedy when he plundered his heart like this unscrupulously; he relied on his defense and protection for a long time, but the reward was too little... He paid all his life and did not seem to be like this...
She was a little confused now: What else can I give to him now to show my sincerity?
Fu Jinzhan felt a little guilty for a moment. The glory, wealth and power that Guo Shao received cannot be regarded as the reward she gave... because on the one hand he fought for himself, and on the other hand, Fu Jinzhan had no choice but to give it. If he didn't give him power, where would he get the strength to defend himself? This kind of thing can only be regarded as a need for mutual compromise and no concern.
But she couldn't figure it out, and she said to her mouth: "You said it nicely. I have heard so much. Do you really want to do that?"
Fu Jinzhan looked at his face carefully. She knew that her eyes were very bright. Guo Shao would definitely put pressure on him when he looked at him like this. Ordinary people would definitely be honest immediately when they heard the tone of doubt... Anyway, most of the experience is like that, and people cannot withstand the pressure of insight from the superiors.
Guo Shao looked at each other boldly and said seriously: "If there were any lies just now, God..."
Fu Jinzhan hurriedly reached out and pressed his lips, and his face turned slightly red: "Don't always curse and swear. I believe it."
