After living in the palace for a few more days, Shen Qingwan felt extremely bored. If she didn't see Fu Yuheng every day, she would see the Empress of the palace. She couldn't help but think of her last trip out of the palace. She had grown up in the general's estate since young, so she still liked the life outside.
However, the last time she went out, it was not long ago. Furthermore, she had been very careful and wasted quite a bit of time. Most importantly, because she wasn't able to clearly see Hua Kui's dancing posture due to Fu Huaiyu's presence, she felt extremely unbalanced. She wanted to go out again to find an opportunity to clarify the matter regarding Fu Huaiyu.
"Esteemed Empress, the last time you went out the emperor was already angry. Are you still going out like this?" Lian Yun asked uncertainly when she saw Shen Qing Wan acting in such a manner. She even helped her tidy up her clothes.
"Of course." She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible. I've already told the emperor in advance, so you don't have to worry. " Shen Qingwan tightened her belt and tidied up her clothes.
This time, she still disguised herself as a man and went out. Her long hair was tied up. She really did look like a handsome, jade-like face, causing Lian Yun to blush a little. She did not expect that not only would the Empress be beautiful, but the man would also be so beautiful.
After she finished dressing up, Shen Qingwan was ready to leave the city. She thought that it would be troublesome, but when she mentioned that they were here to handle matters for the Consort Xian, he actually let them go.
"Empress, I think we should go visit somewhere else." This place is not suitable. " Looking at the bedraggled appearance of the lady in front of the pavilion, Lian Yun felt both embarrassed and anxious. In her mind, this was a place where bad people would come.
"Alright, it's already here, what are you still talking about?" No one will find out, just call me Young Noble. Don't be mistaken. " Shen Qingwan didn't care about it as she leisurely strolled around. Seeing her go in, Lian Yun followed her helplessly.
Although no one would find out, it was actually just Shen Qingwan's way of consoling Lian Yun. In fact, Fu Yuheng of the palace had long known that there would be a maid reporting his departure. He specifically inserted this little palace maid into Shen Qingwan's palace to see what she was doing.
"Have you looked carefully?" Fu Yuheng asked again after listening to the young palace maid's words. The tone of 'not angry but imposing' caused the young palace maid to tremble, and he hurriedly lowered his head even lower.
"Yes, this servant saw clearly, that Concubine Xian did indeed go out disguised as a man." Fu Yuheng's brows were already furrowed after he finished answering the question. He had no idea what this woman was doing or what she wanted to do.
Shen Qingwan had only come here once last time, so the Brothel Keeper didn't feel like there was anything new this time. Instead, she walked up to greet them skillfully.
"Young master, did you not have enough fun last time? Young master, let's see what you like today. As she spoke, she wanted to lean on Shen Qingwan.
The fragrance that assaulted her face made her sneeze, and she hurriedly took a few steps back. What do you mean unfamiliar? She clearly only came here last time. However, she had heard the same thing the last time she had come here.
"No need, Mom. I came to look for someone." Seeing that the old procuress still wanted to come closer, Shen Qingwan quickly spoke up and stuffed a bag of silver into the old procuress's hands.
The Brothel Keeper had wanted to take advantage of the situation to get a better look at herself, but who knew that she already had an owner. However, for the sake of silver taels, it was not impossible to accept.
"Alright, who is Young Master looking for? I have all kinds of girls here. " As he spoke, he surveyed his surroundings. As the capital's number one Flower Pavilion, she had everything she needed here.
"That's fine, Mom. I don't want anyone else either. He's the Courtesan Belle who I saw here last time and felt very fond of. " Shen Qingwan nodded her head and spoke up, but the bawd's expression instantly changed.
"That girl is the prettiest one here, she won't easily meet anyone." As he spoke, he waved his handkerchief and a fragrant wind assaulted the room. Shen Qingwan quickly held her breath and waited for the scent to dissipate before she spoke.
As the saying goes, money can make a fool of itself. She understood this principle very well, so she stuffed another bag of silver into the hands of the old procuress. After weighing it in her hand, the old procuress said awkwardly, "This is not that I don't want to find it for you, it's just that she has been taken away by someone. Even if this Ninth Prince wants it, I too … "
Shen Qingwan understood her words. This old procuress was purposely taking money but not doing anything. But there was no helping it, she had come too late. The old procuress had no choice but to find another room of the best quality, but she still refused her request of calling the girl over.
After sitting in the room for a while, she was curious as to why Fu Huaiyu was here. After thinking for a long time, Shen Qingwan was still at a loss. She did not continue thinking and stood up instead.
"Lian Yun, wait for me here. I'll go out for a while, don't follow me." After thinking about it for a while, Shen Qingwan decided to go out and look for Hua Kui's house. She might be able to hear something.
Cautiously reaching the door, he heard voices coming from inside. Initially, he had even thought that Fu Huaiyu had the hobby of looking for flowers, but the more he listened, the more he felt that something was amiss. They didn't seem to be talking about their girlfriends, but about the border!
Shen Qingwan didn't hear it clearly, and walked a few steps closer.
"Your highness, the matters at the border have come to an end. Have you prepared the final conclusion?" The woman's gentle voice sounded, causing Shen Qingwan to be stunned.
"Yes, of course. However, Lian Niang is being a little too magnanimous. Do I need you to teach me a lesson for my matters?" Fu Huaiyu's voice sounded, carrying unhappiness within it.
Shocked, Shen Qingwan absent-mindedly broke a vase.
"Who's outside?" When the two people inside heard this, they both stopped and Fu Huaiyu had already walked out. Shen Qing Wan turned to run, but was stopped.
"Who are you? What did you hear? " As he said that, he closed in step by step. For a moment, Fu Huaiyu felt that the person in front of him was familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. But since she found out, she couldn't keep it.
Shen Qingwan was born in the General's Estate and had learnt martial arts since childhood. She really wasn't a match for him. After a few moves, she didn't even have the chance to fight back.
Fu Huaiyu approached his step by step, his moves were ruthless and his goal was to take Shen Qingwan's life.
But just then, a white silhouette flashed over, startling Fu Huaiyu, and at the same time, the two of them disappeared.
"Are you alright?" The white clothed man softly placed Shen Qingwan on the floor and spoke softly as they entered a room. He didn't expect to see her in a flowerbed, dressed as a man.
"No problem, thank you." Shen Qingwan shook her head and also recognized the person who had saved her. It was the young master whom she had met at the abbot's place, and she was even more curious about his identity.
