C118 underestimate her

Blinking slightly, she came back to herself. On the dressing table, there was a row of simple and elegant hair ornaments, but in the drawer, a shining gold light took up a space, and in that gold light, there was an object that stood out the most. It seemed to be made of bronze, with a faint greenish-green color.

Liu Chugrong opened a small box at the furthest corner with his slender fingers.

Lamei thought there would be something very precious inside, but when Liu Chugrong opened it, she saw that there was no extra hair ornament inside. It was just a piece of paper.

The paper slip was very thin. Perhaps it was because of the friction from being kneaded back and forth, but there were already many traces of wrinkles on the paper. The words on the paper seemed to indicate the calligraphy owner's indifference. There was only a simple line of words: Be a bit more obedient in the near future. Naturally, you will get what you want.

This note was sent by the palace maid who was talking about Liu Chugrong the other day. Initially, she was still puzzled, but the palace maid directly put the note into her hand. When she finished reading the note and wanted to ask who was the one who sent her here, the palace maid had already left.

What she did not know was that at this time, the owner of the paper slip was sitting in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, drinking his tea leisurely, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

"Your Royal Highness, the matter of the carrier pigeon has been settled." The tea was still steaming hot, Fu Huaiyu placed the cup down and casually glanced at the person in front of him.

"Oh? But what did you find out? " It was just an ordinary sentence, but it gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression.

That person was lying on the ground, fully dressed in black, clearly not flustered at all. "In reply to Your Highness, this subordinate has been watching for a long time. That carrier pigeon really did come from the empress."

Hearing that, Fu Huaiyu directly and clearly tapped the table with his hand, as though he was thinking about something, while the black clothed man just stood there, waiting until Fu Huaiyu waved him off, and then got up to leave.

"What do you think?"

With that, Mo Zilian walked out from the shadows. He waved his fan gently and smiled playfully, "Looks like the emperor does not know about this matter …"

Tsk tsk, the heaviness and frivolity on the surface of Mo Zilian's eyes actually formed a clear contrast. If one were to look at them separately, then those serious eyes of his would seem as if they did not belong to him.

"Looks like this empress really isn't that easy to get along with." Fu Huaiyu took over his words, and his eyes revealed a trace of sinister viciousness. "Before she came here, I had underestimated her, and she hid her strength well."

Xiao Shushen had always been a virtuous and virtuous person in the palace, so he thought that she was at most a little smart, and could be used on the imperial harem. However, he never expected that she would actually be so scheming, and that she would even be involved with his side, Hu Youshan.

"Let's let this matter rest for now. What about the border? " After changing the topic, he suddenly recalled how Shen Qingwan looked when she arrived that day. She was not as calm as she had expected, but she still appeared to be very interesting.

"Your Highness, General Shen's body is fine now, but he retreated more than ten li. Right now, the aura of the military is also lowered by more than half." The smile on Mo Zilian's face deepened, as if he wasn't talking about a life or death matter, but a small matter.

"We should settle the matters at the border as soon as possible, so as to not cause too much trouble." When he thought of how Shen Qingwan looked like before, he started to worry in his heart. If he did this, she would probably be very sad, but he immediately steeled his heart.

But even so, there was still some worry on his face. It seemed like he was unable to control his chess piece for some time. But in the chess game, how could he give up the whole situation just for a chess piece?

Mo Zilian watched from the side, not really worried, only curious. He never thought that there would still be someone in this world that could move his heart, but it was a pity that this person was already the Consort Xian of the Emperor, so what could he do even if he was tempted?

Sighing faintly, Mo Zilian hid himself in a dark corner again, as though from beginning to end, Fu Huaiyu was the only one in the room.

It was said that beauties brought calamity upon themselves, but that was not necessarily the case.

Shen Qingwan did not know what to do. Now that she was sure that the border issue was related to Fu Huaiyu, without any proof, it would be futile even if she went to the gods.

It could only be a long-term plan.

"Esteemed Empress, the Emperor hasn't come to visit in the past few days …" Lian Yun looked at Shen Qingwan with some worry. She could tell that although she seemed cold towards him, she wasn't without feelings. On the contrary, when things went wrong, she would actually rely on him.

But she was just a woman, how could she not care?

"No problem, you don't have to worry." Shen Qingwan smiled. She naturally knew what she meant and also knew that she was worried about her. But since the matters regarding her father were not settled yet, how could she have the mind to consider the private affairs of her children?

"Go and get my zither." She suddenly wanted to play the zither. When she was young, her father never forced her to learn anything, but her mother always made her want to learn it.

Fortunately, at that time, she was still somewhat interested in playing the zither, which was why she was able to learn it. Even now, it was only a rare pastime in the palace. In this large palace, she might not be able to escape the control of the imperial power, but she would also cover up a small part of the world for herself.

"Esteemed wangfei, your zither …" It didn't take long for Lian Yun to come out with the zither in his arms. He was already at a loss of what to say, but in his heart, he hoped that he could find a good opportunity to lighten the frustration in Shen Qingwan's heart.

It was a pity that Fu Yuheng was with Liu Chugrong now.

After that day, this was Fu Yuheng's third time going to Liu Chugrong's place.

"Your Majesty …" Liu Chugrong's personality changed. Instead, it became more gentle. However, when he lowered his head, he could not hide the pride in his eyes.

"What is it?" Fu Yuheng lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. Liu Chugrong's light makeup made him feel very fresh, and his mood improved a lot as well.

"I hope that the Emperor will uphold justice for this concubine!" Tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes, causing Fu Yuheng's heart to ache as well. He also felt that he had truly wronged her back then.
