Chapter 1199: The man she cares about also happens to care about her
She was seventeen years old. Even if it was only once, she was very likely to be pregnant.
He can't do this. Her reputation has already become the talk of people because of her disappearance for three years. If there were any more bad rumors, she will be blocked by all the officials if she was to sit on the empress's throne. Her reputation will be greatly damaged.
Bai Zhi laughed, it turned out that he was thinking about this She thought he couldn't hold back. So why did he do that earlier?
Seeing her laugh, Chu Yan asked in a muffled voice, "What are you laughing at?"
She shook her head: "It's nothing." Her heart was warm. The man she cared about happened to care about her too.
This feeling was wonderful.
If this man was not the emperor of the country or the emperor with three palaces and six courtyards. How good would it be, right?
The three-day journey finally came to an end. The carriage finally entered the capital. Because Chu Yan didn't like publicity, the carriage he used was the most common. He was so low-key that he was stopped by the guards who guarded the city, saying that they wanted to check the people inside, and all luggage in the carriage.
Zhou Awu came from behind and looked at the two guards who stopped the carriage. They were unfamiliar faces. He knew all the city guards here, and he had never seen these two people before.
Moreover, the city guards were under Fu Zheng's management, and with Fu Zheng's temperament, it was impossible to easily replace the city guards.
"Are you new here?" Zhou Awu asked.
The two guards looked at Zhou Awu and saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes, but he spoke with great momentum. They were very unhappy: "What are you talking about? Are we new here? It's none of your business, right? Hurry up and let the people in the carriage get off, we need to check."
The voices of the two were quite loud, attracting the attention of the surrounding people, as well as the other two city guards.
The strange thing was that those two people were also strangers, they were not the people he was familiar with.
Zhou Awu was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and was about to reveal his identity, but he heard the sound of horseshoes in the city. When he looked up, he saw Fu Zheng.
Fu Zheng rushed over when he received the news. Fortunately, he caught up. Before Zhou Awu could speak, he took the lead first: "Aren't you the guard of Master Zheng's family?" Fu Zheng blinked at Zhou Awu.
Zhou Awu understood and cupped his hands towards Fu Zheng: "General Fu has a good memory. We only met once, but you can still recognize me."
Fu Zheng said: "I just met Master Zheng, and said that you would escort Madam Zheng back to the mansion today. I didn't expect to meet you here."
The guards of the city knew what General Fu and Master Zheng were talking about, so they backed away immediately, not daring to stop him.
Zhou Awu entered the city with two carriages and a dozen accompanying guards. Not long after entering the city, an unfamiliar young man chased after him on horseback. The young man followed Zhou Awu and whispered: "General Zhou, General Fu asked this subordinate to bring the message, and told you to take the emperor to Chengde Gate to enter the palace. Don't go through other palace gates."
Zhou Awu was puzzled: "Why do you want to go through Chengde Gate?" Chengde Gate was usually used by concubines in the harem. It was not open at ordinary times, so why let the emperor go through that gate?
The young man said: "General Zhou, this subordinate is just here to pass on a message. I don't know what the reason is."
Zhou Awu looked at the young man: "I've never met you, you said you were sent by General Fu, how can I believe it?"
The young man immediately took out a dagger and handed it in front of Zhou Awu: "General Fu asked me to show you this, he said that you can tell the truth by looking at it."
This dagger was given by the emperor. He also has one, but the handle was different. Fu Zheng cherished this dagger very much. He was reluctant to use it easily. It will be used as a token by others. It seems that something happened.
