C179 Shufei's sensation

"Empress, the Shufei's Queen has come." Lian Yun hurriedly came in from the outside and whispered into Shen Qing Wan's ear.

Before Shen Qingwan could react, Wu Ling already walked into the house by herself with a faint smile on her face.

"Little sister, I suddenly remember …" Saying that, Wu Ling paused, seeing Shen Qingwan looking at her with a strange expression, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing …" Shen Qingwan sighed at the bad timing, and curled her lips in embarrassment. The room had yet to be cleaned up, and with her meticulousness, she would definitely discover something.

Wu Ling knitted her eyebrows in doubt. She did not dwell on this point and continued speaking her unfinished words, "I suddenly remember that you forgot to bring your things to me. I always forget to deliver them to you. I have always been bored in the yard and come to visit you today."

Receiving the item from her, Shen Qingwan pursed her lips and said: "It's just a small accessory, how can I have to trouble elder sister to personally deliver it. I'm not in a good condition, hurry up and sit down."

"Naturally, he also misses his sister. "What's more, I remember that the Emperor specially brought this hairpin to you a few days ago. You should keep it well …" At this point, Wu Ling suddenly wrinkled his nose. "Sister, your house …" Why does it smell like blood? "

Shen Qingwan thought to herself, as expected, before she could think of how to respond, Wu Ling saw the blood stains on the collapsed area with her sharp eyes. She quickly walked to the side of the bed and bent down to take a closer look. After confirming that there was really blood on the bed, she asked with a serious and worried expression, "Little sister, what is going on? You were assassinated? "

Seeing that Wu Ling's face didn't show any signs of worry, Shen Qingwan sighed lightly and decided to tell her the truth. "Elder sister is overthinking it, this …"

Wu Ling was shocked and replied after a while, "I'm afraid this isn't appropriate …" If the Emperor finds out about you and Ninth Prince, I'm afraid he will blame you. "

"Sigh, it's precisely because it's not too appropriate that little sister wants big sister to do me a favor and keep this matter a secret." Shen Qing Wan said helplessly.

"Of course. It's just that I don't understand why you did that. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? Tell me the truth, what exactly is your relationship with the Ninth Prince? " Wu Ling's expression was cold, clearly disagreeing with her decision. As a friend, she was naturally thinking for her life. As for the others, what did they have to do with her?

"You might not know this, but Ninth Prince saved me many times and helped me out. Now that he's in trouble, I can help him to repay his kindness. Although he has helped me many times, we are destined to become enemies because of his position. " Xiao Yan frowned slightly. It was obvious that he was helpless against this matter. He sighed, "The thing that I dislike the most is owing someone a favor. This way, it will be much easier."

"So that's how it is." Wu Ling nodded her head in understanding. She didn't ask why a concubine like her and a prince were destined to be enemies, "There are many things involved, so you making your own decision is the best." "Just think carefully, don't make the wrong decision. If you think about it in the future, regret it and you will lose."

"I understand." Shen Qingwan was naturally grateful to this close friend of hers. It was already a great comfort for his to say such words.

"In that case, I'll head back first. As for this matter, I will not bring it up again, so you should be extra careful. " His face returned to its indifferent expression, but there was a clear look of worry on it.

After waiting for her people to leave, Shen Qingwan muttered to herself for a while, before instructing Lian Yun who had been standing quietly at the side, "Go and fetch me some water and rouge, and find a new set of bedding."

"Yes." Lian Yun lowered her head and replied.

When Lian Yun took all the things over, Shen Qingwan used water to wipe all the blood stains off the bed. She also took off the dirty blanket and gave it to Lian Yun after drinking all the water, "Take it to the Raccoon Clothing Workshop to wash."

He then used the handkerchief to wipe off the blood on the bed, adding a thick layer of rouge and called Xiao Man over.

"Take care of this blanket, it's been dirty by rouge." With a cold and detached face, he cautiously explained, "Be careful to cover up for others."

Xiao Man respectfully received it. Seeing that she seemed to be in a bad mood, she didn't dare to ask any further questions.

After checking for a few times to make sure that there weren't any traces of blood, Shen Qingwan finally placed the new bedding on top of it. At this time, Lian Yun also returned from the outside and reported to her: "Empress, leave all of this to our reliable palace maids to wash."

Shen Qingwan nodded and said, "Help me burn the incense we got from the Fashan Temple."

He opened all the windows in the room. It just so happened that the wind was relatively strong today. After blowing for a while, Shen Qingwan could clearly feel that the smell of blood in the room had weakened.

Because Shen Qingwan wasn't used to using incense, Lian Yun searched for a long time to find the Calm Incense that Shen Qingwan had prayed to at Fashan Temple a few days ago.

Lian Yun lit up the incense in the room, and then gently fanned it with her fan to help it dissipate its smell. After a while, the room was filled with the smell of incense, and because the windows were open, there was also a light fragrance.

"Forget it, you don't need to keep an eye on it. Just let it burn." Only when she felt the smell had almost completely covered her did she ask her to stop.

Shen Qingwan was just about to close the window when a sharp voice came from the outside, "The emperor has arrived!"

"Welcome, your Majesty." Panic flashed through his eyes, but he quickly covered it up. However, he wasn't discovered.

"Please dispense with the formalities." Fu Yuheng waved his hand, indicating for the two of them to rise.

"I didn't know that Your Majesty would come …" "What is it?" Shen Qingwan opened his mouth to probe.

"Nothing, I just came to visit you." Fu Yuheng said. He was surprised to see the incense burner in the room and asked, "I smell the fragrance wafting around your courtyard. It turns out that my beloved concubine is burning incense in her room. "However, I remember that you didn't have the habit of using incense before …"

"Chenqie hasn't been sleeping well recently, so using a few popular methods won't work. After thinking for a while, I'll give this incense a try." This incense was retrieved from the Fashan Temple by chenqie a few days ago, and I didn't manage to grasp it properly, causing the smell in the room to become too strong. Thus, chenqie could only open the window and let out some fresh air. " Shen Qingwan calmly prepared an excuse for the details, "If the emperor likes this smell, then chenqie can bring some back to Fashan Temple next time."

"So that's how it is. But why didn't your beloved concubine look for the imperial physician? " Fu Yuheng nodded but did not ask too much about this matter.

"Chenqie's matter can be big or small, but the imperial physician is busy. How could he have the nerve to bother the imperial physician with such a small matter?" Shen Qingwan smiled.

"What are you talking about by your beloved concubine? But if this incense is really useful, then it's much better than medicine." Hearing her words, he didn't say anything more. "Then my beloved concubine, you should pay more attention to rest. Don't be too vexed." After speaking, he left for a few more hours before leaving.
