C171 Keep an eye on the Nine Kings

"Your Majesty might not know, but this chenqie had sent people to investigate some of the things that happened to her before. The figures of Ninth Prince could be faintly seen, and that's why she became so concerned about them. She felt that they weren't simple and needed to be prepared for them." Shen Qingwan had also predicted that Fu Yuheng would be very different from her, so she didn't pay much attention to his stunned expression. If not for too many clues pointing towards Fu Huaiyu, she wouldn't have suspected anything.

"How could this happen? "Why does This Emperor not know?" Fu Yuheng was slightly displeased. This sort of feeling was like being kept in the dark, causing him to be slightly dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. After all, this is related to a prince. Before we have concrete evidence, who would dare come here and talk nonsense like you?" It was only because the emperor felt that his concubine was disloyal that he brought up these matters. "Can you listen to me explain in detail …" Shen Qingwan comforted Fu Yuheng a little and told him what she had told Ye Feng to find out.

"You mean to say that the spy is related to the Ninth Prince?" Fu Yuheng frowned, not understanding why Fu Huaiyu would do such a thing.

"Exactly. The last time chenqie went to the Duke's Mansion was also to ask about this matter with Ninth Prince. " Shen Qing Wan said.

"I've misunderstood you and caused you to suffer." After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, Fu Yuheng felt somewhat guilty for misunderstanding Shen Qingwan about this matter. He couldn't help but treat her with even more gentleness.

"It was chenqie who did not explain clearly. How can I blame Your Majesty?" This time, chenqie went out to thoroughly investigate the Ninth Prince. In the end, she discovered that the matters at the border were related to you, which made her even more worried. That's why people felt that chenqie really cared about you. " Shen Qingwan gently smiled to express her understanding before continuing to explain.

Fu Yuheng's frown deepened. After being silent for a long while, he said, "It sounds very complicated, but if Fu Huaiyu has really done something to this matter, it seems like he is in danger. It's better for my beloved concubine not to continue interacting with him, and there's no need to investigate. Now that I know of these matters, I will naturally arrange for people to take care of it. "

Shen Qing agreed from the ground. She can't give the Emperor any face. As for whether or not he'll continue, she'll have to see how the situation continues. It wasn't that she didn't believe Fu Yuheng. It was just that she was able to control the situation in her own hands. That was the most reassuring thing.

Fu Yuheng looked at Shen Qingwan's obedient appearance. Her usually cold and indifferent expression was clear, as if nothing could break her calm and collected attitude. After the two of them had resolved the misunderstanding, Shen Qingwan revealed even more expressions towards him. Her unusual appearance really attracted him.

"Oh right, your majesty, there are also various indications that Fu Huaiyu's martial arts is extremely strong. Your majesty, please send someone to investigate him or go in person to get in contact with him. You must be careful and careful so that you don't fall for his tricks." Shen Qingwan couldn't help exclaiming.

"I understand." Fu Yuheng was very touched to see Shen Qingwan so concerned and worried for him. He could not help but scold himself, who was previously suspicious of Shen Qingwan's disloyalty, a little more.

"Your majesty has overpraised me. Chenqie was merely lucky enough to catch hold of some useful information." Shen Qing Wan said.

"Not bad, not bad." Fu Yuheng patted Shen Qingwan's shoulder. His eyes were filled with gratification. "Then, my beloved concubine, please go back first. My mind is currently in a mess. I need to calm my mind and properly organize my thoughts."

"Yes." "The emperor shouldn't wait too late either. Let's rest early." Shen Qingwan said softly and left after he nodded.

After watching her leave and disappear from his sight, Fu Yuheng raised his hand and rubbed his temple. The amount of information he had today was too much. Before this, he had always been bewitched by Fu Huaiyu's act of disguising himself, and had truly assumed that he was just an idle prince. It seemed that one really couldn't judge a book by its cover.

In this intricate network of relations between the royal family, it was difficult to distinguish between sincerity and hypocrisy, between true nature and a false mask. As the emperor, Fu Yuheng had seen countless people, and it was also a day where he misjudged them.

Since Fu Huaiyu had already done a lot of small things behind his back, he couldn't just sit there and wait for death, in case he was too passive.

"Someone, come." Fu Yuheng called out to the air.

"Your subordinate is here." He could only hear the sound, but not the person.

"Investigate Fu Huaiyu carefully. This person is not simple. You must be careful and not alert the enemy. "

"Yes."

Fu Yuheng heaved a long sigh, feeling rather helpless. Even if Fu Huaiyu really had ill intentions, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him now. Not only was the situation nervous, it was unsuitable for them to fall out with each other.

He could only temporarily send people to investigate, and then he would have more snacks for him. The Prime Minister Liu was now the sole ruler of the imperial government. The sound of him choking back and forth had also gradually faded away. What he had said in the imperial court today was something that no one could refute. It was also something that gave Fu Yuheng a great headache.

If there was no one controlling Prime Minister Liu in the imperial government, his position would be in danger. It seemed that it was time for him to take some action.

On the other side, the empress dowager also received news that Shen Qingwan had disguised herself as a man and left the palace. She felt that her actions were rather impolite, and angrily ordered people to hurry and summon her to her palace.

Thus, before Shen Qingwan could return from the palace to her own palace, the Gui mama brought her to the empress dowager's Tzu Ning Palace.

"Do you know why This Dowager allowed you to come?" Shen Qingwan, who gave her luggage to Shen Jingbin, was expressionlessly staring at his from behind the window. He didn't even get up to let Shen Qingwan talk to her in his luggage posture.

"Chenqie doesn't know." Shen Qingwan was neither humble nor arrogant.

"How dare you!" The empress dowager's anger was piqued, and she threw a cup at Shen Qingwan's feet. "You're the noble concubine of the emperor, it's not just one or two days since you've entered the palace. Do you want me to explain the etiquette and shame to you?!"

Shen Qingwan remained silent and did not speak, lest she anger the empress dowager even more.

"How preposterous! How preposterous!" The empress dowager was angry, but how could she not be happy with Shen Qingwan now? "Since you don't know and don't understand, there's plenty of ways for me to make you understand."

"Someone, come!" "Bring the Consort Xian to the main entrance of the Palace of Tzu Ning and watch her kneel for four hours. Not a single moment less!"

Gui mama said to Shen Qing Wan, "Esteemed Empress, please."

Shen Qingwan finally understood that the empress dowager was in a bad mood. She had probably bumped into the sword blade when she disguised herself as a man, so she could only inwardly sigh at her bad luck. She obediently followed Gui mama to the door and knelt down.
