Chapter 160 Fu Heng speaks frankly
One day, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was as blue and pure as a gem.
Concubine Chun, dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, walked gracefully on the corridor of the palace. Yuhu held a bowl of carefully prepared ginseng soup and went to the Yangxin Palace together.
However, just as she was about to reach the Yangxin Palace, an unexpected figure appeared in her sight—Fu Heng.
Concubine Chun's eyes were instantly drawn to him, with surprise and anticipation flashing in her eyes. Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if time had stopped for this moment.
She couldn't wait to order the palace maids around her to step back, then walked towards Fu Heng with light steps, her eyes filled with passionate emotions.
When Fu Heng saw Concubine Chun walking towards him, a hint of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
Concubine Chun walked up to Fu Heng and asked anxiously, "Guard Fucha, are you really going to marry Wei Yingluo?"
Fu Heng was slightly stunned, then answered firmly: "Of course."
After hearing Fu Heng say these words again, Concubine Chun still couldn't calm down.
She widened her eyes and said in a trembling voice: "Fu Cha Fu Heng, are you crazy? How can a humble servant of the Imperial Household Department be worthy of your status?
Besides, there are so many talented and beautiful ladies who are attracted to you, why did you choose her?"
Fu Heng's expression suddenly turned cold, and he responded indifferently: "This is my own business, you don't need to worry about it."
Concubine Chun was extremely anxious. She couldn't help but reach out to grab Fu Heng's arm and said anxiously: "How can you say such cruel words? You clearly know my feelings..."
Fu Heng quickly avoided her touch and said coldly: "My queen, please respect yourself."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"Have self-respect?" Concubine Chun was stunned, the desolation on her face surged out like a tide, as if she had lost all her life.
She slowly raised her head, looked at Fu Heng with confused eyes, and said softly: "You didn't treat me like this before, is it because of Wei Yingluo that you are like this..."
Fu Heng frowned and looked at Concubine Chun in confusion. He really couldn't remember any past between him and her, let alone any entanglement.
However, when he recalled what Wei Yingluo had told him, he couldn't help but feel a little wary.
So, he subconsciously took a step back and kept a certain distance from Concubine Chun.
Then he said, "Empress Chun, please be careful with your words and actions. Although you are a good friend of the Empress, there is a difference between men and women after all. I don't have much interaction with you, let alone a close friendship."
Fu Heng's words were meant well, hoping to remind Concubine Chun to be careful with her words so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
However, he never expected that these words would make Concubine Chun's face turn as pale as snow in an instant.
"We don't have a close friendship..." Concubine Chun's body trembled slightly. She swayed a few times and almost fell to the ground.
Suddenly, she lowered her eyes and stared at the tassel hanging around Fu Heng's waist, her voice low and filled with despair:
"If you really don't have me in your heart, why do you still wear the tassels I wove with my own hands?"
Fu Heng was slightly startled, and his eyes fell down, only to see a jade pendant hanging around his waist. This jade pendant was something he had worn since he was a child, and the tassel tied to it had gone through the baptism of time and looked very old.
Concubine Chun noticed that Fu Heng noticed her gaze, and she couldn't help but become a little nervous. She subconsciously clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes widened slightly, revealing a hint of expectation and uneasiness.
Fu Heng frowned slightly, as if he was in deep thought, and then he slowly said: "This ear of corn was given to me by my sister. She said that my ear of corn was old, and she wanted to make one for me."
When Concubine Chun heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she still suppressed her inner disappointment, forced a smile, and said, "How could it be a gift from your sister?"
Fu Heng looked at her in confusion, waiting quietly for her to explain.
Concubine Chun took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said, "I made this tassel myself. You were not in Fucha Mansion that day, but I saw your military book on the stone table in the martial arts training ground, so I put the tassel in it..."
Before she could finish her words, Fu Heng interrupted her decisively.
A hint of surprise flashed across Fu Heng's face, and then he reached out without hesitation to pull off the tassel, placed it on the chair beside him, and said in a calm tone:
"I'm sorry, Concubine Chun, Fu Heng made a mistake and thought it was given by my sister, so I wore it. Now I'm returning it to you, Concubine Chun. Goodbye."
Concubine Chun opened her eyes wide, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
At night, Zhongcui Palace.
Yuhu gently pushed open the door and slowly walked into the room, only to see Concubine Chun sitting dejectedly by the bed with a sad expression.
"Your Highness..." Yu Hu called cautiously, walked quickly to Concubine Chun's side, and looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Concubine Chun slowly opened her eyes, feeling extremely depressed. She carefully took out an old ear of corn from her bosom, handed it to Yu Hu, and said in a trembling voice:
"Yu Hu, do you still remember this spike?"
Yuhu took the tassel, looked at it carefully, and his expression suddenly changed.
"I was afraid that Fu Heng would see the Suizi but not know it was sent by me and would not understand my feelings, so I asked you to give him a handwritten letter from me."
Concubine Chun stared at Yu Hu closely, her eyes as sharp as torches, as if she wanted to see through her heart completely.
Yu Hu felt a little nervous when she looked at him. He avoided her gaze and didn't dare to meet her eyes.
After a moment's silence, Yuhu suddenly knelt on the ground and lowered his head deeply.
Concubine Chun's heart suddenly tightened. She knew very well what this action meant. Yuhu did not complete what she had asked him to do.
"Did you send out the letter?" Concubine Chun's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of despair and anger.
Yu Hu hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "My lady, I didn't send it out."
Concubine Chun's body trembled violently, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
She widened her eyes and stared at Yu Hu who was kneeling in front of her, her lips trembling slightly.
"What did you say?" Concubine Chun's voice became sharp and shrill, "Why didn't you send it off?"
Concubine Chun sneered and reached out to slap Yu Hu hard.
