C178 Huayen's treatment

The night was as cold as water, and the moonlight outside the window was like a layer of silver cloth, blending into the mysterious night. At this moment, the inside of the palace was completely silent. Only the patrolling people were walking back and forth. From time to time, the sounds of birds chirping could be heard, but it was also very quiet.

Shen Qingwan had already turned off the candles and slept. Perhaps because she did not sleep well the previous night, but today, she confirmed that Liu Chu Rong was ordered by Fu Huaiyu to go to sleep by Fu Huaiyu.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Shen Qingwan, who was already drowsy, immediately tensed up.

The footsteps drew closer and closer. Then, "Bang!" With a sound, the window of Shen Qingwan's room was slammed open.

She suddenly sat up and looked towards the window with a tense expression.

From the size of his body, it was obvious that he was a man. One of his hands covered his chest as he panted heavily. His eyes swept around the room and finally stopped at Shen Qingwan's location.

Shen Qingwan even had a feeling that even in the darkness, the pair of peach blossom eyes were just as mesmerizing.

She stepped forward and lit the oil lamp. The dim light dispelled the darkness in the room.

Shen Qingwan's heart was slightly startled. He actually came to her room at such a time, and she was even injured.

Fu Huaiyu withdrew his gaze, moved his body, and found a place to sit down. His simple action seemed to have affected his wounds, causing him to suck in a breath of cold air while grimacing in pain.

Shen Qing Wan closed the window, looked at Fu Huaiyu and asked softly: "What's wrong with you, why are you injured?"

He raised his head and looked at her. His eyes were cold, enough to make people shiver.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, she did not pursue the matter. He had barged into her room late into the night. Being alone in her room was not really appropriate. Logically speaking, she should have kicked him out, but Fu Huaiyu was her benefactor, and now that he was injured, she could not watch on helplessly. Moreover, she did not like the feeling of owing favors to others the most.

"I'll go buy some medicine for you. Wait for me here." Shen Qingwan's lips moved, and then he turned to look for Lian Yun.

"Empress, what orders do you have?"

Shen Qingwan whispered into Lian Yun's ears, "Lian Yun, help me buy some medicine. "Be careful, don't let anyone see you."

Lian Yun looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly bought the medicine, she thought that she was injured, but seeing her shake her head, she knew that she was asking something she shouldn't have. Therefore, she did not say much and silently left the palace.

As she watched Lian Yun's figure disappear into the night, Shen Qingwan turned around and returned to her room. Fu Huaiyu was still standing at his original spot without moving an inch.

Shen Qingwan looked at her own bed and walked forward. She extended her arm to help him up, not just because of the heavy injury, but also because he seemed to have lost all her strength. This close proximity made her feel uncomfortable, and she didn't like being too close to others.

After expending a great deal of effort, he finally managed to place Fu Huaiyu on the bed beside him. He frowned as he looked at him. Who could have hurt him? A string of questions piled up in his mind, but he didn't ask them again.

"Esteemed Empress, I'm back …" Just at this moment, Lian Yun hurried back from the outside and deliberately lowered his voice as he spoke. He passed the medicine he bought to her.

"Did anyone see him on the way?" Shen Qing Wan asked worriedly. If someone were to see her in the palace, it would be a huge crime against her.

Lian Yun shook her head, and smiled somewhat pridefully. "Empress, don't worry. I was extremely careful along the way, and no one noticed us."

Shen Qing Wan then relaxed, and looked towards Fu Huaiyu who was lying on the bed with a weak face.

She went forward to untie Fu Huaiyu's clothes and carefully smeared the medicine on his wounds.

A numb feeling spread to his brain along with the pain from the wound, stimulating his nerves. He was confused as to what was happening as he looked at her painstakingly applying the medicine. However, his eyes turned darker.

An hour later, he was finally done with his wounds. He lifted his hand slightly to tidy up his clothes, and looked at her with a strange expression in his eyes.

"Dong, dong, dong!" There was a knock on the door.

Fu Huaiyu's eyes turned cold. He glanced at the door and then disappeared in a flash in front of Shen Qingwan.

After seeing his body disappear behind the screen, Shen Qingwan then walked towards the door, thinking about how to deal with the people outside.

Thinking of this, she had already reached the door. He put his hand on the door and paused. She took a deep breath before opening the door. The ones outside were two palace maids. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Why are you looking for me so late at night?" Shen Qingwan's voice was the same as usual, no difference could be made.

"In reply to the Empress, this servant came here specifically to deliver to you the flower seeds you wanted today." said the lady, raising her hand, and holding in it an elaborate brocade sack.

Shen Qingwan opened it and took a look. It was indeed a flower.

"Thank you for your hard work today, but don't come looking for me so late in the future." He looked at the two palace maids in displeasure, as if blaming them for not understanding the rules.

"Empress, please don't blame me. This servant will definitely not dare to do so again. Please forgive me!" When the palace maid heard the displeasure in her voice, he nodded his head repeatedly. He naturally knew that he had not paid enough attention to the timing and had disturbed the Empress's rest. It was just that even though Shen Qingwan was usually indifferent, she was very tolerant of her servants. As a result, they weren't particularly afraid, but they were very respectful.

"Forget about it this time, just pay more attention in the future. You guys can leave first." Shen Qingwan waved to the palace maids, signaling them to leave.

"Thank you, Empress, thank you." After thanking them, the two palace maids hurriedly left.

She smiled slightly, returned to her room and closed the door. Not long later, Fu Huaiyu struggled out from behind the screen, his movements just now in a hurry was too wide, it was evident that he had injured himself, and his face had also turned pale.

"Let's rest here for the night and go back tomorrow when my injuries are better." Shen Qingwan secretly frowned when she saw his appearance. She was afraid that he would be noticed the moment she stepped out of the door.

Fu Huaiyu still did not answer, she was helpless, and could only help him to sit on a bed to the side.

There were people in the room who could not sleep well, but they could not bear the fatigue of the past few days and fell asleep before daybreak.

The night passed quickly, and Shen Qingwan opened her eyes. The room was empty except for her, as if what happened last night was just a dream, but the medicine bag was still left on the table. She also took it.
