One Hundred Ways to Whitewash Villains [Quick Wear] ━ Vol.1

2.7

　　The sky is high and the air is crisp, and the azure sky is as transparent and clear as the clearest sapphire in the world. The chilling cicadas in autumn scream without stopping, as if they are having the last carnival in their lives.

　　A man in a green shirt was sitting in the courtyard, with a cup of tea and two plates of cakes on the table, looking extremely comfortable.

　　"Sir," the boy serving tea glanced at the man and asked cautiously, "doesn't it really matter if you don't enter the palace to meet the saint?"

　　The man paused when he heard this and raised his head. He was always serious about words. His face was as if covered with a layer of frost at this moment, which made people tremble with fear: "If he is really dissatisfied, just give me a glass of poisonous wine."

　　After saying that, he glanced at the young man's silent expression and said coldly. He hummed and stopped talking, but after all, he no longer had the heart to drink tea. After sitting in the yard for a while, he finally couldn't help but snorted loudly and entered the house with a puff of sleeves.

　　It had been five days since Wei Chengze had urgently summoned him to the palace at night. If Lou Fufang was moved and grateful that night, now he was depressed and angry. If it weren't for his status as a monarch, Lou Fufang would have even wanted to grab Wei Chengze's collar and punch him hard.

　　How could Wei Chengze - play with him like this? !

　　He had clearly promised not to attack the two people in prison, but what he got the next day was the news of their deaths. When Lou Fufang rushed to the prison, all she saw were two cold corpses.

　　Looking at the face that was twisted into a terrifying look due to pain and fear, Lou Fufang even stood a little unsteadily.

　　Kill with poison.

　　——You don't even want to be questioned and beheaded in public, but you choose such a cruel and despicable method?

　　Countless emotions were surging up and down in his chest, including pain, anger, sadness, disappointment, and resentment. Even Lou Fufang himself couldn't tell whether he was sad because of his parents' death or because Wei Chengze had broken his promise. And angry.

　　Without any hesitation, Lou Fufang handed over the brochure and wanted to enter the palace to find Wei Chengze to ask for details. However, the eunuch guarding outside did not even let him enter the palace gate.

　　"Your Majesty is in ill health and it is inconvenient to meet you, sir. Please come back." The eunuch said respectfully. There was nothing wrong with his words and deeds, but when it fell into Lou Fufang's eyes, it was that Such irony.

　　Feeling sick? It was clear that he was so lively last night, but when he wanted to come to hold him accountable, he suddenly felt unwell? Even a three-year-old child would probably not believe this insincere statement.

　　Lou Fufang was so angry that he was shaking a little. However, his years of cultivation could not allow him to vent his anger on the person in front of him who had nothing to do with this matter. He could only coldly throw away his sleeves.

　　It would be fine if the matter ended here. It was just that Wei Chengze suddenly got interested and wanted to play tricks on him. However, on the afternoon when he was stopped outside the palace gate, Wei Chengze suddenly sent Someone came to announce his entry into the palace - the person who came was the housekeeper of the harem, which really gave him enough face.

　　Seeing the old eunuch's scrutinizing and sizing eyes, Lou Fufang couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

　　"I am ill and cannot enter the palace to meet the saint, in order to prevent the disease from contaminating the dragon's body." After bowing respectfully to the old eunuch, Lou Fufang said with a serious face, as if he was just stating a fact. , but the unabashed sarcasm in his eyes was enough for people to see his intentions.

　　If it were an ordinary person, such excessive behavior would probably have resulted in beheading. However, after Lou Fufang watched Liu Jinzhong leave with a sneer, he did not wait for the order of questioning. Instead, he waited for the old manager to come. A reward delivered with a cold face.

　　Lou Fufang was not sure of Wei Chengze's intentions, but she did not think that she had really been favored by the Holy One. Naturally, the pent-up anger in her chest would not dissipate because of this. Rather, the more Wei Chengze behaves like this, the more angry Lou Fufang becomes.

　　It was as if he was just a monkey in Wei Chengze's hands. Under the other party's teasing, he made the posture he wanted, showing his ugliness, but the other party laughed because of it. When the monkey was irritated, he threw some fruit to appease him. Soon after, it was the toy in the other person's hand that made him laugh.

　　Disgusting.

　　After that, Liu Jinzhong came twice more, both to announce Lou Fufang's entry into the palace. However, each time, Lou Fufang refused with the same reason. He didn't even act like he was bedridden in order to match his words.

　　Liu Jinzhong looked at him with more and more displeasure, but in the end he didn't say anything. I don't know if it was because of Lou Fufang's identity or Wei Chengze's attitude.

　　The bodies of the Lou family and his wife have been buried. Because they were burdened with the crime of "collaboration with the enemy and treason," Lou Fufang could not organize their funerals. She could not even bury them in the Lou family's ancestral graves. She could only find another clean place. , buried in a hurry. And on Lou's family tree, there will also be a stroke written behind the two names that will never be crossed out.

　　Even though neither Lou Fufang nor anyone else in the court knew the truth of this incident, this unfounded accusation would continue to be passed down along with their reputations.

　　Stinking for eternity.

　　The fingers on his knees couldn't help but curl up a little. Lou Fufang couldn't help but hit the table hard. The pain in his hands made him sober up, but the resentment in his heart still lingered. Not scattered.

　　Lou Fufang knew very well that at this time, he should give in to Wei Chengze and save himself first, and then look for opportunities to reverse the case for his parents in the future. However, as long as he thought of Wei Chengze's smile that night and said yes Such a scene, but he couldn't lower his head no matter what. The idea of ​​assisting Wei Xiurong to usurp the throne, which had been shelved before, resurfaced again.

　　——How can a person like Wei Chengze, who is so dishonest and evil-minded, be worthy of his loyalty? How can we manage this country well?

　　However, for some reason, Wei Xiurong, who was clearly very enthusiastic about his proposal before, became ambiguous at this moment. He even saw a hint of murderous intent that could not be concealed in Wei Xiurong's eyes.

　　Wei Xiurong...want to get rid of him?

　　The other party's sudden change of attitude made Lou Fufang wonder whether Wei Chengze had already learned about her previous conspiracy with him, so Wei Xiurong behaved like this in order to put aside the relationship, or - - Wei Chengze did something secretly without him knowing.

　　Thinking of what she heard from others a few days ago, that the relationship between the Holy Emperor and the Crown Prince, who used to have a bad relationship, had improved in recent days, Lou Fufang was more willing to believe in the latter possibility.

　　Wei Chengze...

　　"My lord!!" After a burst of hurried footsteps, the door of Lou Fufang's room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the boy who had been waiting in the courtyard stumbled in. He was so panting that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

　　Lou Fufang, whose train of thought was interrupted, frowned slightly unhappily: "Why are you so reckless?"

　　"That, that, that, that..." I don't know whether it was because he was anxious or tired, but the boy said "that" For a long time, he didn't say the next words. It wasn't until a chuckle sounded outside the room that Lou Fufang knew why he had such a reaction.

　　"I really didn't expect that the boy in Mr. Lou's house would actually stutter?" A voice with a slight smile sounded, as if the spring breeze blowing across the earth, extremely intoxicating. The man in a moon-white gown walked over slowly with a smile on his face. His eyes were curved like crescent moons, which was really beautiful. The boy on the side had long forgotten his anxiety and shock. He stared blankly at the man who seemed to be banished to an immortal, and even forgot to breathe.

　　Lou Fufang's eyes widened slightly, obviously not expecting Wei Chengze to suddenly appear here.

　　"I have met your Majesty." Lou Fufang stood up suddenly and immediately knelt down to Wei Chengze. Even though he was dissatisfied with Wei Chengze in his heart, etiquette between monarch and ministers was absolutely indispensable.

　　Seeing Lou Fufang's movements, the boy realized what he was doing and quickly knelt down. Because the movements were too violent, his knees hit the floor hard, causing tears to burst out of his eyes.

　　Seeing the way the boy bared his teeth, Wei Chengze couldn't help but laugh: "Excuse me. It's my sudden visit and I've lost my etiquette. There's no need to be so panicked." As he said that, he showed his face to the boy. With a smile, "You go down first, there is no need to wait here."

　　After listening to Wei Chengze's words, the boy almost floated out. It was not until he left for a while that he suddenly realized that he was frightened by what just happened. Breaking out in a cold sweat.

　　His behavior of staring directly at Wei Chengze just now can be regarded as offensive. He has heard of many cases of people being executed for looking directly at the holy face. Fortunately, Wei Chengze didn't pursue it - not only did he not pursue it, he was so kind in his manner and took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment for him.

　　Is this person... really the stupid and unscrupulous emperor in the rumors?

　　Thinking of Wei Chengze's immortal-like appearance and demeanor, the boy covered his chest and his face couldn't stop feeling warm.

　　Sure enough, the rumors in the market are never trustworthy.

　　Unlike the boy who was confused by Wei Chengze, Lou Fufang had a completely different view of Wei Chengze.

　　Glancing at Liu Jinzhong who was following Wei Chengze, Lou Fufang carefully concealed the wariness in his eyes and asked, "Why, Your Majesty...?"

　　"Because you refused to enter the palace to see me," without taking any notice. He sat down at the table like an outsider, poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. Wei Chengze narrowed his eyes as if enjoying it, "I have no choice but to do it by myself."

　　"Your Majesty!" Seeing Wei Chengze Liu Jinzhong couldn't help but remind him, but Wei Chengze didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he blinked and looked at him: "Well, Uncle Liu, I heard it!"

　　Liu Jinzhong: ...

　　and Wei Chengze looked at each other. After a while, Liu Jinzhong was defeated and turned his eyes aside without saying anything more.

　　I don't know whether it's because he has eliminated all the people who harmed his mother and concubine, or because he has a sweetheart. Recently, Wei Chengze has become more and more similar to the child in Liu Jinzhong's memory. However, after becoming such a After many years of being emperor, there are still some changes. For example - more willful.

　　However, Wei Chengze has such a face. As long as he shows a slightly pitiful expression, people can't bear to criticize him at all, and they just want to give him everything he wants.

　　Liu Jinzhong himself felt spineless when he realized that even at his age, he could still be soft-hearted because of his appearance. But when he saw Wei Chengze, he began to help him with all kinds of tasks without any complaints.

　　Glancing at the cup of non-steaming tea in Wei Chengze's hand, Liu Jinzhong frowned and couldn't help but said: "Herbal tea is harmful to the body. Your Majesty, your body has not recovered yet, so you should not drink it."

　　Wei Cheng Hearing this, Ze paused in his hand movements, turned his head and glanced at Liu Jinzhong, obediently put down the tea cup in his hand, and deliberately pushed it away from him, then put his hands on his knees, with a serious look, The whole body was trying hard to convey the message "I am a good baby", which made Liu Jinzhong laugh a little when he saw it.

　　After hearing Liu Jinzhong's words, Lou Fufang, who was frowning because of Wei Chengze's words and deeds that were not in line with his status, was involuntarily stunned and turned his attention to Wei Chengze. Only then did he realize something was wrong.

　　It was mid-afternoon, the hottest time of the day. Even the fish that had surfaced in the pond had sunk to the bottom of the water. However, Wei Chengze was wearing a thick winter coat. , but because his figure is already thin and slender, it is not easy to see. A closer look revealed that Wei Chengze's complexion was a bit paler than the last time they met. His expression also had a slightly sick look, and his slightly curved lips showed no color at all. When people see it, they feel a little heartache from the bottom of their hearts.

　　Sensing Lou Fufang's gaze, Wei Chengze couldn't help but widen the smile on his lips a little. He didn't move, just held his chin and let him look at him. When he had seen enough, he blinked: "Does it look good?" The slightly raised voice at the end was a bit unexplainably flirtatious.

　　Liu Jinzhong, who was almost blinded by the flash: ...

　　Watching his child acting coquettishly towards another man, Liu Jinzhong felt very complicated. If I have to say it, it is - I really want to push this brat who stole my daughter to the ground and give him a good beating! !

　　Liu Jinzhong, who was worried that he would be unable to help but implement his thoughts if he continued to read, lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart, looking like an old monk in trance.

　　Without paying attention to Liu Jinzhong's appearance, Lou Fufang carefully observed Wei Chengze. The more he observed, the more frightened he became, and an unbelievable thought arose in his heart.

　　"Your Majesty, this is..." After hesitating for a while, Lou Fufang finally spoke, "Are you feeling unwell?"

　　Wei Chengze seemed a little happy when he heard Lou Fufang's words. He raised his eyes and said with a smile, "Ah. "It's nothing..." "Of course I'm feeling unwell." However, before Wei Chengze could finish speaking, Liu Jinzhong interrupted him. Because he was holding his breath, his tone was not good.

　　Before she could frown at Liu Jinzhong's disrespectful behavior, Lou Fufang was shocked by what he said.

　　"Ever since he caught the cold that night, His Majesty couldn't get out of bed for five consecutive days." As soon as he got out of bed, he couldn't wait to come here. Thinking of this, Liu Jinzhong looked at Lou Fufang with an even more unkind look. , "Didn't Mr. Lou become ill from that day on?" There was obvious ridicule in his tone, and he had no scruples at all because of Lou Fufang's status as the Minister of History. In the end, Wei Cheng Ze frowned and called out "Uncle Liu" before he stopped talking. Otherwise, there is no telling how he would mercilessly scold Lou Fufang.

　　After looking at each other for a while with Wei Chengze, Liu Jinzhong closed the door for the two of them and went out with a complex mood similar to "My daughter actually attacked me for the wild man outside." After all, Wei Chengze left the palace just to meet Lou Fufang. He was not such a poor person, and he didn't want Wei Chengze to stay here for a long time dragging his unhealed body.

　　As soon as Liu Jinzhong left, the room became quiet. The two of them stood and sat, but no one spoke first. Wei Chengze lowered his eyes and stared at the teapot on the table, as if the patterns on it were so exquisite and attractive.

　　Lou Fufang looked at Wei Chengze, his brows furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he opened his mouth to break the stagnant atmosphere in the room: "Your Majesty, please pay more attention to your words and deeds."

　　"Well... ?" Unexpectedly, Lou Fufang said something like a reprimand, and Wei Chengze was a little confused. He turned his head and looked at Lou Fufang, with a little doubt in his eyes, as if he didn't know what Lou Fufang was talking about.

　　That look was so similar to that of a puppy with its head raised and looking longingly at its owner, that one couldn't help but want to reach out and rub his furry head.

　　Turning her head to avoid Wei Chengze's gaze, Lou Fufang put her hands behind her back and continued: "Your Majesty, as the True Dragon Emperor, calls a eunuch..." "Eunuch?" Lou Fufang suddenly interrupted with a voice. Wei Chengze's expression turned cold. This was the first time he showed this expression in front of Lou Fufang, "Who are you talking about - the eunuch?"

　　I didn't expect Wei Chengze's reaction to be so big, Lou Fufang couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise in his eyes, but then his eyebrows knitted up, obviously very dissatisfied with this.

　　This is not a strange thing. After all, in the eyes of people of this era, people like eunuchs who are missing a certain part of their bodies are inherently inferior. Even if the other party can easily decide the life and death of others, while others maintain respect on the surface, they can't help but feel contempt in their hearts.

　　Lou Fufang lives in this era and has a stubborn and old-fashioned character. It is natural to imagine what he thinks of eunuchs. Seeing the close relationship between Wei Chengze and Liu Jinzhong, it is normal for him to feel unhappy. However.

　　Of course Wei Chengze knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately concealed his intimacy with Liu Jinzhong in front of Lou Fufang.

　　"If your father had his legs amputated to make a living," Wei Chengze looked at Lou Fufang and said word by word, "Would you contemptuously call him a 'waste'?"

　　Lou Fufang was startled, his lips raised. He moved, as if he wanted to say something, but Wei Chengze did not give him this chance: "The 'eunuch' you mentioned is such a role to me."

　　Looking at Wei Chengze, there was no trace of smile. With an expression on his face, Lou Fufang fell silent, a little regretful of what he had just said. It wasn't that he suddenly changed his mind, he just - felt a little distressed. I feel sorry for the person in front of me, trying hard to hold on to the person who has only a little warmth.

　　Lou Fufang didn't know what life was like in the harem, but when he mentioned these things, the cold look in Wei Chengze's eyes made him understand that it was not a pleasant experience, so Wei Chengze In the end, all Chengze could rely on was the eunuch who didn't know etiquette.

　　And those days should have belonged to him.

　　Such words suddenly popped up in her heart, and Lou Fufang couldn't help but look at Wei Chengze with a complicated expression.

　　Without looking at Lou Fufang, Wei Chengze's fingertips gently rubbed the edge of the tea cup. He picked up the tea cup as if he wanted to take a sip, but as if he thought of something, he put it down.

　　Thinking of what Liu Jinzhong said just now, Lou Fufang took two steps forward and moved the tea cup in front of Wei Chengze. He paused and then asked, "Is your Majesty feeling better?"

　　"The imperial doctor said it's okay. I need to recuperate for a while." Without looking up, Wei Chengze was still angry about what happened just now, his voice sounded dull, and Lou Fufang couldn't help but feel a little funny about his temper.

　　Before her parents were forced into the prison by the officers and soldiers who suddenly rushed into the house, Lou Fufang and Wei Chengze did not have much contact. At most, they only watched from a distance across half the hall in the court hall. After a few glances, I have to say that although Wei Chengze's behavior is often extremely absurd, the way Wei Chengze sits on the dragon throne still carries a majesty that is higher than tens of thousands of people. However, Lou Fufang never thought that when getting along with each other in private, Wei Chengze would be like this, not at all like an emperor.

　　If it had been anyone else, even if he didn't walk away at this time, he would definitely use his identity to say something to him, instead of being like Wei Chengze, who was sulking alone, just like a person saying " I will never play with you again", but stayed at the other person's house, expecting the other person to be subdued and comfort his children.

　　——This is really inappropriate for an emperor.

　　But knowing this clearly, Lou Fufang couldn't get angry with Wei Chengze no matter what, especially when he faced the other man's moist eyes like black pearls, he couldn't even think of scolding him. Not coming out.

　　Lou Fufang couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Lou Fufang couldn't explain what happened to her.

　　"Why don't you want to enter the palace?" Wei Chengze suddenly asked as his eyes fell on his fingertips.

　　Lou Fufang was stunned for a moment, and the anger that had been overshadowed by the inexplicable mood just now began to rise again.

　　Even if Wei Chengze did not intentionally block him outside the palace gate and avoid him, it is an indisputable fact that Wei Chengze broke his promise and killed his parents.

　　"Because I killed your parents?" Wei Chengze said it himself without Lou Fufang needing to answer. He raised his head and met Lou Fufang's gaze without hesitation.

　　Those eyes were the purest black, so pure that one could see to the end at a glance. His appearance was clearly reflected in them, as if the whole world was reflected in them.

　　As if her heart had been hit hard by something, Lou Fufang was in a daze for a moment. Even the rising anger dissipated a lot in an instant.

　　Looking away in panic, Lou Fufang suddenly believed in the legends of monsters that rely on their appearance to confuse people. If those monsters all look like Wei Chengze, there must be only a handful of people in this world who can escape. .

　　Lou Fufang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Lou Fufang couldn't help but admit that he was the kind of mortal who judged people by their appearance.

　　But no matter how exquisite and perfect Wei Chengze's appearance was, he eventually broke his promise with Lou Fufang, and what Lou Fufang hated the most was people who didn't keep their promises.

　　After staring at Lou Fufang blankly for a long time, Wei Chengze suddenly said: "If I said I didn't do it, would you believe it?"

　　Without looking at Wei Chengze or speaking, Lou Fufang seemed to be confused. There is a wooden stick stuck there.

　　Needless to say, his answer was obvious.

　　Wei Chengze obviously understood this. He looked at Lou Fufang blankly for a while and said nothing for a long time.

　　The atmosphere between the two was a bit strange. As if she noticed something, Lou Fufang frowned slightly. Before he could understand, Wei Chengze had already put away his previous expression and stood up.

　　Wei Chengze was not very tall due to being weak since he was a child. He stood with Lou Fufang, his hair tied up just at the same level as his eyebrows.

　　Taking two steps back slightly, Wei Chengze looked at Lou Fufang, his smile suppressed and his face a bit stern: "Those who know my identity cannot stay in this world."

　　So those two people cannot stay.

　　Lou Fufang naturally understood what Wei Chengze meant and could understand his behavior, but he couldn't accept it.

　　If Wei Chengze had not promised him to let the two of them go, Lou Fufang might not feel this way. At most, she felt that Wei Chengze was a little unkind, but with the promise that the other party failed to keep, this matter To him, it changed the taste.

　　Since it was impossible to do it from the beginning, why give him false hope? It would be better to pronounce the death sentence from the beginning and leave no room for it.

　　"I also know your identity." Lou Fufang's voice was a bit cold. He didn't even address Wei Chengze as "Your Majesty", which shows his mood at the moment.

　　Since Wei Chengze executed those two people for this purpose, there was no reason to let him go. After all, compared with those two people, Lou Fufang was the one who could really threaten Wei Chengze's status.

　　"No one will believe what you said." Wei Chengze's expression remained unchanged. All the people and things that could prove that matter have been dealt with by him. Even if Lou Fufang publicizes the so-called truth, the world will only regard him as a madman, and no one will believe a word of him.

　　——However, sometimes, people in this world don't care about the truth at all. All they need is a reason to make trouble.

　　Just like some wars launched in the name of "clearing the emperor's side", if you really mean it, you don't need any evidence at all, and the winner will write history.

　　But Lou Fufang would never do this. His character and persistence stopped such despicable behavior from the beginning.

　　Even if it is true, he is the orthodoxy of this royal family.

　　Wei Chengze knew Lou Fufang so thoroughly that for a moment, Lou Fufang even felt that the other party's gaze could see straight into his heart.

　　"And," Wei Chengze smiled softly and softened his voice, "I need you."

　　"Work with me to build this country into what you want, okay?"
