"The carrageenan's Empress …" Lian Yun looked at Li Ruotong who had barged in, and felt a little helpless in her heart. Although the carrageenan Empress had a good relationship with her own mistress, her actions were too thoughtless. If it were anyone else, they would probably think that she was here to cause trouble.
Lian Yun sighed silently in her heart, but her movements were unambiguous. She brought Li Ruotong to Shen Qingwan's side, then left some space for the two of them to make tea.
"Are you okay?" As soon as he came up, Li Ruotong grabbed her hand, causing her to be stunned.
Seeing that she did not say anything, she became even more anxious, "Aiya, speak up, could it be that you have been scared silly by the matter of the General Shen?" Li Ruotong stomped her feet anxiously, afraid that Shen Qing Wan would make a mistake.
Only now did Shen Qingwan come back to her senses. Naturally, she wasn't frightened by her father just now. It was just that Li Ruotong had been so impulsive from the start, thinking that something had happened. He didn't react to it, but unexpectedly, she had misunderstood him.
"Hehe, why would I be stunned because of my father?" Shen Qing Wan smiled. No matter how worried she was, it was not the time to show her weakness. On the contrary, she should be the strongest.
Seeing her say that, Li Ruotong patted his chest, and turned back to look at her: "Then why aren't you saying anything, I thought you were scared silly." Ye Zichen pouted. Shen Qingwan had given him quite a fright just now.
"You're asking me? If you didn't rush over here in such a hurry, why would I have been so shocked that I wouldn't have been able to say anything?" Shen Qing Wan knocked on Li Ruotong's head, her eyes turned soft and gentle.
"Ah …" Only then did she realize that she had been scared by Ye Zichen after making a ruckus for a long time. Li Ruotong suddenly thought back to her previous appearance. She was indeed too impulsive, but before she could close her mouth, her eyes were wide open.
"Not good, then wouldn't that be seen by others?!" A look of regret suddenly appeared on his face.
"Pfft!" Shen Qingwan couldn't hold back her laughter, "My good little sister, did you just realize that?"
The relationship between the two of them was naturally not so quarrelsome, making fun of each other, extremely relaxed, while Li Ruotong had a very carefree personality, and was actually extremely sincere in this harem.
Perhaps, only this few people in the harem could be considered close friends. With a faint smile, she suddenly thought about the Shufei that she almost never stepped out of her house of, and hadn't seen her for a few days.
"I wonder how Ye Feng is doing recently." Li Ruotong's words changed, he suddenly became quiet, and his eyes became gloomy.
Shen Qingwan knew that sshe was worried about Ye Feng's condition. After all, since the last time he came back, Ye Feng had not sent any news to him, so logically speaking, he should be by his father's side right now, but he didn't know the actual situation.
"Don't worry. With how skilled Ye Bodyguard is, nothing unexpected would naturally happen." In truth, she could only console her. The border was a place where danger lurked all around. Who could guarantee that nothing bad would happen? However, these words were absolutely impossible to say in front of her.
"Forget it, let's not talk about those dejected words." Some things should be kept in the bottom of her heart. Shen Qingwan's temperament suddenly became calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
There were many things in this world that couldn't be changed. Even if it was grief, so what?
It was as if her emotions were too infectious, and even Li Ruotong had calmed down and started smiling. She could only hope that the person she was thinking of returned safely.
"Empress …" At this time, Lian Yun also brought tea and snacks over, and no longer talked about such vexing matters, the two of them continued to chat and laugh.
At this moment, a message came from the imperial study.
"Your Majesty …" Sun Ning waved the horsetail whisk in his hand.
Hearing his voice, Fu Yuheng raised his head from the pile of papers. "Consort Xian …" Have you been there yet? "
She should be very worried, right?
Seeing his worried look, Sun Ning paused for a moment and continued, "To reply your majesty, this old servant has already been there. It's just that Concubine Xian and Mother carrageenan were having a good chat, so I didn't enter." After wandering around Shen Qingwan's courtyard for a while, he knew that the two of them were worried.
Hearing this, Fu Yuheng was stunned. It seemed that he was overthinking things. How could someone like her be immersed in grief? If that was the case, then it wouldn't be her.
"Go down!" Waving his hands, he turned his gaze to the table before him once more. He was the emperor, and there were many things in this world that he needed to do. It was a bit pretentious.
Seeing that, Sun Ning did not stay any longer, but before he closed the door to the Imperial Study, he sighed, and shook his head.
This Concubine Xian was clearly different from the emperor, but the two of them probably didn't realize it yet. One of them had a personality as indifferent as water, while the other one had gone through a lot of troubles for the Rivers and Mountains Society, Yue Lao, right?
He naturally could not interfere in the business of his master. He could only hope that one day, the two of them would be able to take care of each other and not miss each other.
"What is Sun Gonggong thinking? "He's actually so lost in thought?" It was unknown when Fu Huaiyu had appeared in front of Sun Ning, but a pair of peach blossom eyes revealed ripples that seemed to be able to bewitch people's hearts, making them involuntarily want to speak.
Fortunately, Sun Ning was a person who had seen much of the world, so he was not confused by his actions. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Where are you from, Ninth Prince? Sun Ning covered his face and laughed, although this Ninth Prince was not close to him, he had grown up in the palace, so he was still cautious towards him.
"Sun Gonggong is kind, but this matter of master is not something that a servant like you can participate in, don't accidentally lose your life." When the fan in Fu Huaiyu's hand closed, he leaned his body forward slightly, and the darkness in his eyes shone into Sun Ning's eyes.
"This old servant will follow Ninth Prince's teachings." Sun Ning stabilized his body. He knew that the Ninth Prince was warning him that he did not need to participate in the matters between him and the Emperor.
"Ai, I'm old now, and useless now …" Sun Ning's figure instantly became a little listless, and he left while muttering.
It was only then that Fu Huaiyu retracted his gaze. He originally wanted to take a look at Shen Qingwan's situation, but he didn't expect that carrageenan was still there and was unable to enter.
His gloomy gaze swept past the tightly shut door to the imperial study, and after a few breaths, he turned his gaze away and walked out of the palace.
It seemed that some of the chess pieces had already left his control, and Shen Qingwan was one of them.
