C143 self-pity

As for the conversation between the two, Vice Minister Li had been listening from the side the entire time. Both of their statuses were higher than him, so without their permission, it was better for him not to speak up.

"However, Prime Minister Liu, you should not be too relaxed. Since the military power of General Shen has not been withdrawn, you should still act with caution." Ninth Prince turned around and warned him. His voice was gentle and his eyes were charming. Although it was a warning, it did not make anyone feel disgusted.

"Write the Ninth Prince's reminder, this official will definitely remember it." Prime Minister Liu agreed.

Fu Huaiyu's peach blossom eyes slightly hooked up, a smile forming on his lips, but the chill was self-evident, "I'll have to remember Prime Minister Liu's words." He whispered these words softly beside the Prime Minister Liu's ear. These words, he only said them for the Prime Minister Liu to hear.

The Prime Minister Liu nodded his head hurriedly. He naturally understood the meaning behind Fu Huaiyu's words, even though he did not point it out, he was also reminding him of his position. If they blocked his path, then perhaps they would not have a good ending.

Fu Huaiyu fanned himself with the fan in his hand and walked out.

After finally sending off Fu Huaiyu, Prime Minister Liu watched his back as he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but reach out his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

Li Yuhang who was quietly listening to their conversation had his head lowered, pretending to be calm. However, it was hard to conceal the joy in his eyes.

He never thought that the relationship between Prime Minister Liu and Fu Huaiyu would actually be so good. It looks like he had picked the right person. Li Yuhang thought happily in his heart.

However, the Prime Minister Liu was panicking in his heart because of Fu Huaiyu's arrival. If Fu Huaiyu could see through his thoughts, the emperor would probably be able to see through it as well. Thinking back to when the Gui mama beside the Empress had come to him to teach him a good lesson, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Is there still no news from the General Shen?" Fu Yuheng held a paper roll in one hand and a teacup in the other. He placed the teacup on his lips, then his sword-like eyebrows creased, adding to his spirit.

"In reply to the emperor, there hasn't been any news yet …" The guards kneeling below said in a regretful tone. It had to be said that the General Shen was like a god of war in the eyes of these guards, but now that they were unable to determine whether he was dead or alive, it was really hard to accept.

"Do you have any traces of the Ye Bodyguard?" Fu Yuheng clenched his teacup tightly.

General Shen was nowhere to be seen, and there was no news from Ye Feng at all. It would be good if the two of them were to be together, but if they were not, then wouldn't that mean …?

As he thought of this, Fu Yuheng felt a headache coming on. He waved his hand and said, "Stick around!"

The situation at the border had already reached such an end, but the General Shen was still the old general after all. In the end, he was still a little afraid of the little general that Fu Huaiyu had promoted previously.

The current General Shen of the Imperial Court had already lost his power, so it was not a small problem for the Prime Minister Liu to be independent and grow strong. It would not be a problem in the short term, but if time went on, the world would probably fall into chaos.

The paper in his hand was like a snake with venomous fangs. At this moment, he couldn't wait to take it out.

The peach tree outside the window was already sprouting, just like the conspiracy in the court. It gradually sprouted, and in the unprepared night, it gradually prepared itself.

"Empress, where are you going?" Lian Yun saw that Shen Qing Wan had wrapped up the zither, and was somewhat suspicious. Usually, only when the Empress was about to go out and play, would she wrap the zither up, making it convenient to take it away.

"To the western courtyard." Lian Yun nodded in understanding. Indeed, it had been a long time since the Empress had gone to the Shufei to visit the Shufei.

"I'll bring some pastries as well." Shen Qing Wan lowered his head and played with the Zither, his mouth did not forget to instruct Lian Yun. Yesterday, she had nothing better to do, so he made some pastries.

Lian Yun nodded, she had already tasted the pastries before, so the Empress's cooking skills were undeniably good. The pastries were sweet and not greasy, and there was a faint aroma of tea, "Yes." He turned around and left, but because of this, he missed the sadness that flashed across Shen Qingwan's eyes.

Since her father's whereabouts were unknown, how could she not be worried? It was just that she hid all of her emotions deep within her heart and did not reveal them again in front of others.

In the end, what was she supposed to do?

The worry in Shen Qingwan's heart was reflected in her eyes, but no one could see it.

She still remembered that Fu Yuheng had told her when she first entered the palace that her father had forced her to enter. However, she had no idea if that was true or false, and she had no idea why. She had always wanted to find an opportunity to ask her father, but every time the words reached her mouth she couldn't get them out, so she gave up.

"Empress, everything is ready." During the time that she was thinking, Lian Yun had already brought back the pastries, so he didn't think about it anymore and just smiled to himself.

Fortunately, the weather these days could be said to be beautiful, and walking around outside made people's hearts feel better. It was not that depressing, and the birds were also becoming more energetic. They were chirping merrily.

"Why are you here today?" When Shen Qingwan arrived, Wu Ling was also in the yard playing her zither. When she saw Shen Qingwan come over, she stopped what she was doing and looked at her with a faint smile.

"I have nothing better to do today, so I remembered that I didn't come to see you for quite a few days. Come and have a talk with you about yourself. " Shen Qing Wan asked Lian Yun to place the guqin on the stone table by the side, then sat down, "I made these pastries yesterday, the taste isn't bad, I'll have a taste with you, if it tastes good, I'll make some for you another day."

Wu Ling extended her hand and took a piece of cake when she heard this. She could not help but nod her head repeatedly when she heard this. "You are quite thoughtful. It is likely that you are the only one still thinking about me in this harem." As Wu Ling said this, her eyes dimmed. She didn't want to come to this harem even if it cost her her her life.

"You can't say those words like that. If you don't, your little girl will not be happy after hearing it." Shen Qingwan covered her mouth and smiled. She then turned to look at the person beside Wu Ling, who had been silent all this while.

Wu Ling was startled, as though she also felt the gaze from behind, she turned around, only to see Mo Lan pursing her lips and staring at her, and then she laughed out loud, "It's my fault, though." Wu Ling smiled. "Well, it's my fault. Don't blame me, okay?"

She had been by her side since childhood, and if one were to talk about it, they would feel heartache even more. When one heard her say it to him in such a way, he hoped that she would still remember that no matter what, she was still by her side.

"Since you're here, let's play a song together." Wu Ling looked at the zither beside Shen Qingwan's hand with a gentle expression. There weren't many people who liked the zither in this world, so how could a person of similar interests be considered one of them?
