Ever since his fight with Shen Qing Wan in the brothel, Fu Huaiyu had immediately sent people to investigate secretly because he was worried that his secret would be leaked. However, because Shen Qingwan was disguised as a man, no one could have imagined that there would be even less information on the man in white. There was simply no way to investigate, so the matter was put on hold.

In the past few days, he had not been able to rest well. Until now, he did not know who the person who fought with him in the brothel was, nor did he know how much he had listened to about what he had said that day. If he were to tell Fu Yuheng about it, not only would his preparations be for such a long time go down the drain, even his own life would be in danger.

At this moment, a person walked in from outside. He was dressed like a servant, but his footsteps were steady and steady. His eyes glimmered with a light that showed that he was no ordinary servant.

"Prince, there is news from the palace." The man nodded slightly and said respectfully.

Fu Huaiyu stopped thinking and looked at him, "Oh, what is it?"

"I just received news that Consort Xian was punished by the empress dowager to kneel outside the palace for four hours." The person's voice was calm and emotionless.

Shen Qingwan's personality was indifferent. She rarely stirred up trouble, so how could she anger the empress dowager? Fu Huaiyu was suspicious in his heart as he continued to ask, "Why are you punishing her?"

"I heard that it's because Consort Xian women disguised themselves and snuck out of the palace. They ran to a brothel and were brought back by the Emperor himself in the end."

Hearing that, Fu Huaiyu could no longer sit still, an expression of shock flashed across his face, it seemed that the one fighting against him that day was her.

As expected of the daughter of the family of generals!

Fu Huaiyu sighed in his heart, and started to praise Shen Qingwan even more.

He was very clear on the extent of his martial arts. On top of that, he was worried that his secret would be broken that day. Although Shen Qingwan had to struggle very hard to defend, she could still survive a few attacks from him, and she wasn't injured at all.

"Consort Xian, oh Consort Xian, you truly surprised me!" Waving his hand to send off the person from just now, Fu Huaiyu spoke with a halting voice, his heart becoming more appreciative of Shen Qing Wan.

If he could get this unique girl to stand by my side and watch the rivers and mountains together with me, it would definitely be a good thing, Fu Huaiyu thought.

It was unknown when Mo Zilian had appeared, but he had a slight smile on his face. He whispered into Fu Huaiyu's ear, "Your Highness, I'm back."

"You're back? How's the situation going? " Seeing him, Fu Huaiyu also smiled slightly. Her peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, a few days ago she sent him to take care of Hu Youshan's spy. Now that he was back, she reckoned that he had dealt with it pretty well.

This Mo Zilian had an extremely similar personality to him, and the two of them usually interacted quite a bit. This was also the reason why he trusted him.

"Your Highness, don't worry. I have already ordered people to dismember that spy and have assigned him a new deputy general." Mo Zilian's face was full of smiles, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

Hearing that, Fu Huaiyu also nodded with a smile, "That can't be better!" Obviously, he was very satisfied with his actions.

Meanwhile, outside the empress dowager's palace.

Lian Yun was frowning as she walked around anxiously. She silently calculated the time, Shen Qing Wan had already knelt here for a long time.

Finally, four hours had passed. Lian Yun hurried over and helped her up from the ground.

Just as Shen Qing Wan stood up, she felt an aching pain from her knees, causing her to stagger a few steps. Fortunately, Lian Yun helped her up, so she did not fall down.

Seeing his own mistress trying hard to resist, Lian Yun felt very sad. His eyes were actually shining with tears, "My lady, let me help you return to the palace!"

Shen Qingwan smiled, indicating that she was fine. Although her expression was indifferent, it had a unique beauty to it.

Finally, with Lian Yun's support, they arrived at her own sleeping quarters. The two were already exhausted, and Shen Qingwan immediately collapsed onto the bed. The pain in her knees caused her to uncontrollably suck in a breath of cold air.

"Empress, let me apply the medicine for you."

As Lian Yun said that, she gently lifted up Shen Qingwan's skirt, revealing her calves that were as white as jade. Looking upwards along her calves, there was a purple patch at her knees.

"Empress, does it hurt?"

Looking at Shen Qingwan's knees, Lian Yun asked with both grievance and heartache.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Before Shen Qingwan could say anything, the voice of a eunuch came from outside the door. It didn't take long for Fu Yuheng, who was dressed in dragon robes with an incomparable vigor, to walk in. He had only been here for a few days.

"Lian Yun, help me up!" She immediately pulled down her clothes to cover her knees and told Lian Yun to let her help him up as she prepared to greet him.

However, Fu Yuheng had already seen the injury on her knee previously. He frowned and a trace of pity flashed in his heart. He quickly walked forward and pressed Shen Qingwan down, telling her to continue sitting down, "My beloved concubine, it's inconvenient for you to take care of your health, so you don't have to bother with these formalities anymore."

"Thank you, your majesty." Shen Qingwan was stunned for a moment before she smiled faintly. She did not reject him. After she told him about what had happened, she grew closer to him.

"Let me see your injury." Fu Yuheng felt his heart clench when he saw the slight crease between her eyebrows.

"Your Majesty's concubine is fine, there's no need to worry so much about me." Her voice was soft and calm, as if nothing had happened. However, her hand was still tightly holding onto the hem of her skirt, covering her knees. It was obvious that she didn't want him to see it.

How could Fu Yuheng not see through it? He could not help but feel a little guilty. If he had not forcefully brought her back without changing her clothes, she probably would not have been punished. Reaching out, he forced her hand up, and saw that her knees were red from kneeling for so long.

"My beloved concubine, it's been hard on you." There was an undisguised sense of remorse in her voice as she lowered her head to look at Shen Qingwan's knee, "Let me apply the medicine for you."

He turned around and took the medicine from Lian Yun's hands and squatted down, smearing the medicine on Shen Qing Wan's knees little by little. His actions were extremely gentle and he would occasionally look up at Shen Qing Wan's expression, afraid that he would hurt her.

Seeing Fu Yuheng being so interested in his, Shen Qingwan's heart couldn't help but be moved. If the two of them were able to continue acting like this, how great would it be?

However, she suddenly shook her head. She felt that her way of thinking was too childish. Fu Yuheng was the emperor, and there were countless beauties by his side. How could it be her turn so easily?

What she did not know was that Fu Yuheng was thinking the same thing.

Lian Yun stood quietly at the side, looking at the two's expressions, as though they were a loving couple. She couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, it had been so long that the relationship between Fu Yuheng and Shen Qing Wan had finally made some progress.
