"Alright, you guys have seen my physical condition. Let's talk about this later." After a long while, General Shen finally sighed and brought up the topic.

Seeing that the General Shen did not want to continue discussing this matter, Mu Chang did not continue. He just chatted with General Shen for a while longer before taking his leave.

Fu Huaiyu stayed in Jiangnan for three days, he had a rough idea of the skills of the twenty odd secret guards, and went to train the hundred thousand elite soldiers in a simple manner. It had to be said that Jiang Li was indeed a genius in command, and he had led so many soldiers well.

"Your Highness, it's been so long since you've come. Now that you've come to inspect, are you going to use them?" Jiang Li who was accompanying Fu Huaiyu around the training grounds asked.

"That's not the case. I just want to verify my actual strength, so I have a plan." Fu Huaiyu only laughed, "Oh right, Jiang Li, I have pretty much seen enough of the training grounds in the past few days, for the rest of the time, I will be staying here to take care of some matters. You can make some arrangements, and during this period of time, do not let anyone disturb me in the courtyard."

"Yes, Your Highness." Jiang Li nodded, and arranged for his subordinates to go prepare the relevant matters.

"Mm …" There is another matter, "Fu Huaiyu walked into the discussion room at the side." Bring me a piece of paper and a pen.

On the other side, the guard standing guard at the meeting hall immediately gave the brush and paper that was placed in the house to Fu Huaiyu.

Fu Huaiyu took the pen and paper and started writing. He paused for a bit, and still did not write the letter in a straightforward manner: "We're in Jiangnan. I wonder what's going on with the previous discussion? "

After writing, he folded the paper and handed it over to Jiang Li: "Send this letter to the Concubine Xian s in the palace. Find someone yourself.

"Yes."

Three days later, Shen Qingwan's palace.

"Esteemed Empress, the weather is good today. Do you want to take a walk outside?" Lian Yun looked at the clear sky outside the window and asked Shen Qingwan happily.

"Okay." Shen Qingwan was about to reply when she saw an unremarkable note beside the table. She saw the words written on it with her sharp eyes and changed the topic, "Wait, I'm a little tired now, I'll go for a walk later."

"Oh …" This servant will go out first then. Empress, please rest well for a while. " Although Lian Yun felt that it was a pity that the weather was so good, she still felt that his own Empress's rest was more important.

"Yes." Shen Qingwan gently smiled at her, "For the time being, don't let anyone disturb me."

"Yes." Lian Yun quickly turned around and closed the door.

After waiting for a while, Shen Qingwan picked up the slip of paper between her fingers and looked at it carefully. Indeed, it said: "Your highness has something to tell me, so it's not appropriate to have others."

"Come out. Everyone has already left. " Shen Qingwan said lightly to the air.

The next moment, a man dressed in black appeared in front of Shen Qingwan. He was so fast that she couldn't even see where he came from.

The black clothed man passed a letter to Shen Qingwan and said, "Your Highness has instructed me to be careful and to ensure that I deliver this letter to you personally. I hope that Your Highness does not mind your subordinate's actions."

"It's alright. Besides this letter, does Your Highness have any other instructions?" Shen Qingwan asked.

"This is the only letter," the black clothed man handed another flute to Shen Qingwan, "Your Highness asked the Empress to think carefully and not to rush to answer. "I'll be here for a few days. If the Empress has thought of how to reply or not, just choose a special flute when no one is around."

"I understand. Go ahead."

The man in black saluted and disappeared from the room.

Shen Qingwan was silent for a moment before she opened the sealed letter.

There were only two lines in total. Shen Qingwan quickly finished them. She couldn't tell what she was feeling right now. When she had been framed and killed by the Second Princess in the palace, it had been difficult for her to take even a single step. Fu Yuhuo had asked her if she wanted to leave this dangerous place with him.

At that time, she had hesitated. In the end, she had no choice but to leave. After that, he saved her many times from the abyss of suffering. Every time it was in time, it was already a great favor to her. She was sincerely grateful to him, but on the other side, the border issue had always been related to Fu Huaiyu.

Thinking about the situation at the border, Shen Qingwan did not choose to reply to this letter. However, she did not immediately call out the man in black to carry back the message. Since Fu Huaiyu had his men stay, and gave her a few days to think about it, she was not in a hurry to respond.

She really needed to think about it and prepare for her escape route. Currently, the empress's killing intent towards her was already deep. The first time she made a move, the second and third time wouldn't be lacking. With this instability, she felt very uneasy. The emperor was rather dubious about the empress's actions. She didn't know what he was planning, but she really didn't want to rely on the emperor to fight against the empress.

Although the letter didn't have a recipient or sender, it was still hard to explain when someone saw it. Shen Qingwan took out an iron pot and a candle, burned the letter to ashes, and poured the ashes out.

After she finished doing all this, she carefully hid the flute given to her by the black clothed man. Then, she heard the sharp voice of a eunuch from outside, "His Majesty has arrived —"

Shen Qingwan panicked a little, but quickly calmed down. When the Emperor entered, she bowed to him in peace.

"Please, my beloved concubine." Fu Yuheng helped Shen Qingwan up. She did not act pretentiously, and took the opportunity to straighten her body.

"How can a concubine be alone in a house? "The doors and windows are even so tightly shut?" Fu Yuheng looked around left and right, feeling that something was amiss within the house.

"Reporting to the emperor, ever since that incident last time, chenqie's health hasn't been very good and will catch a cold as soon as the wind blows. She just closed the windows to change clothes and rest for a while, then you came over, your majesty." Shen Qing Wan said.

"Oh? This is not my fault. It was indeed a mistake on my part to come over during the lunch break. Did you call an imperial physician to take a look? " Fu Yuheng shook his head in frustration. It was unknown whether he was sincere or acting.

"The imperial physician has already seen it. He's been frightened, it'll be better if we rest for a few more days." Shen Qing Wan secretly thanked Lian Yun, who had forced her to call the imperial physician to examine her body a few days ago. Otherwise, it would be hard for her to lie today.

Fu Yuheng was about to say something more when he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the room and the smell of burning things. He asked, "My beloved concubine, were you burning things inside the house just now?"

"Oh, no, there was a fire working on something earlier. The smell drifted into the room, and then I closed the door and the window. It probably didn't dissipate for a while." Shen Qingwan reacted quickly and made up a proper lie.

Fu Yuheng nodded and did not ask further, but a seed of doubt was planted in his heart.
