C144 Who is behind this

The cold wind blew in from the window late at night, and the blanket on her body was even tighter. Shen Qingwan's mind was filled with helplessness, the news from her father was in chaos right now, it definitely isn't a good thing for her, but now is the right time to take advantage of this situation.

After a while, even though he closed his eyes and opened them again and again, he was still not sleepy at all. From time to time, the sound of wind could be heard outside the window.

He couldn't fall asleep even if he was lying down. He sat up, put on his windbreaker and walked out of the room.

"Esteemed Empress, why did you come out …" Lian Yun leaned on the door and was sleepy when he saw Shen Qingwan come out from her room. She immediately regained her senses and said, "It's windy outside, let's go in quickly."

Seeing her thin clothes, Lian Yun was a little worried. However, Shen Qingwan only shook her head and walked towards the courtyard.

It was unknown what he was doing at this moment. The person who sat at the top seat was probably worried as well, but this wasn't necessarily a bad thing for him. He had feared his father for a long time and now was a good opportunity.

The corner of his mouth lifted into a mocking smile as he reached out to pluck a Night Fragrance beside him. This flower usually only bloomed at night, but the fragrance overflowed into the surroundings, causing one to uncontrollably indulge in the fragrance.

"Cough, cough …" Perhaps it was because he had been outside for a long time, but he could not help but feel chills on his body. He then lightly coughed a few times.

Seeing this, Lian Yun's face was full of reproach, "This servant will speak, I will definitely suffer from the cold, the Empress will not listen …" She muttered a few sentences, revealing a deep sense of concern.

Thinking about what he had said to the Shufei in the daytime, wasn't he the same as well? When he looked down and saw Lian Yun considerately putting on the strap for her, he did not feel that cold anymore.

The night was getting darker, and it was already midnight. The people in the courtyard also returned, quieting down once again.

"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty!" It was early in the morning, and Fu Yuheng had only just returned to the imperial study after the morning assembly. Shen Qingwan had already arrived. "I'm sorry for disturbing the emperor so early in the morning."

Fu Yuheng obviously did not expect that she would come so early. Furthermore, he would usually ask the Sun Gonggong to summon her when she came to the imperial study. It was still rare for his to come here on his own accord.

"Since you know you're bothering me, why did you still come over?" Fu Yuheng said with a smile that was not a smile. When he saw the mockery in her eyes, he was afraid that she would not come to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason.

Shen Qingwan moved forward and said helplessly, "Chenqie originally didn't want to come here so early either. However, I didn't dare to delay the Emperor's orders, so I had to report in early in the morning." Actually, what she didn't say was that since they had just left the morning assembly, it was obvious from his tightly furrowed brow that there were a number of troublesome matters at hand. Coming over here at this time was the easiest way to get away with it.

"Oh? "What is it?" For a moment, he could not remember what he had instructed her to do. Only when he saw Shen Qingwan's slightly cold expression did he remember that he had asked her to go investigate the matter about Liu Chugrong in order to anger her. But seeing her cold face, with her heart feeling bored, and then the scene of Fu Huaiyu and her that day surfaced in her heart, made her feel even colder.

"Speak, what did you find out?" When he spoke again, he had already returned to his original haughty appearance. Since she is so heartless, then don't blame him for being unjust.

Shen Qingwan nodded and slowly explained.

"That day, in addition to the Empress, carrageenan, Consort De, Honorable Liu and I, there were also Xu Sang and the rest who were present." As soon as the words left her mouth, it gave her the space to think. She had purposely said yes to Xu Tingsheng's request.

Just as expected, he saw Fu Yuheng frown. "Continue."

"When chenqie was in the garden, she overheard a palace maid talking about what happened that day, but I heard that she saw a rock hitting Honorable Liu's leg, causing Honorable Liu to slip and fall, and coincidentally pushed carrageenan into the water." Shen Qingwan paused for a moment before continuing, "Originally, chenqie entered the palace late, so many of the palace's sisters didn't know much about it. They only paid attention to it in the past few days, they didn't expect …"

"But I didn't think of anything like that?" It was easy to believe half-truths and half-truths in the first place, and now that she said it, it made her believe it quite a bit.

Shen Qingwan knew that he was starting to have doubts, "I didn't expect to know so many things that I never noticed before." She inadvertently glanced at Fu Yuheng's expression and snickered in his heart, "There are many sisters in the palace who are dissatisfied with Honorable Liu. It is said that one day, they unintentionally agreed to charge into Honorable Liu, and at that time, Honorable Liu even sent someone to break the leg of her servant girl.

Speaking of which, it went without saying. It could be said that everything was ready only for the east wind, just missing a witness.

"Do you have evidence?" Fu Yuheng's brows twitched as he lowered his head to glance at her fingertips. He could not help but have his throat move.

At this time, Shen Qingwan took out a piece of paper from her sleeve, "This is a palace maid's self-narration, I hope the emperor can read it." She took a step forward and held out the silk paper in front of him. There was no trace of panic in her eyes.

Fu Yuheng took the piece of paper and glanced through it indifferently. "Since that's the case, I understand." With that, he placed the paper on the table, "It has been hard on you, my beloved concubine. You must have talked so much and are thirsty. I've just brewed some tea to moisten your mouth."

The palace maid who was serving by the side understood and quickly poured a cup of tea for Shen Qingwan. For some reason, Shen Qingwan felt that there was some other meaning behind his words. However, she was indeed too tired in these few days, so he didn't pay much attention to it. His reaction seemed to have slowed down a bit as he received the cup of tea in a daze. Unexpectedly, it made his feel very interesting.

"After you finish, go back and take a good rest." Fu Yuheng's pupils darkened as the smile on the corner of his mouth stiffened.

The sleeve inadvertently stained with some ink, but the person dressed in the dragon robe did not care. He rested his chin on his hands and looked at the paper, thinking of something.

"Do you agree?" Slightly opening his mouth, his voice was low and hoarse, causing one to be infatuated with him. "Fine, he's just an unimportant person …" "Haha …" Low laughter seemed to come from the slit between his throat as his fingertips drummed on the table.

Shen Qingwan had been in a trance ever since she came out of the royal study. In the end, the matter of imprisoning her sins into someone else's hands still made her feel uneasy.

But he had promised her that he had carefully selected her from the harem, so Lian Yun had investigated her before. Before agreeing, he was a palace maid, but after being favored by the emperor, he also had some tricks up his sleeve, which was why he was able to reach the position of consent. As for those concubines who had been favoured by the Emperor, the reason why not many of them gave birth to princes was because of her methods.
