"My son seems to dislike this one more and more these days …" The empress dowager let out a faint sigh, her eyes revealing traces of grief as she looked at Fu Yuheng, who was seated at the side.
"What is the Queen Mother saying?" The shadow beneath his eyes masked his expression. The empress dowager had frequently asked him to accompany her these past few days, but he was still a little confused.
"In the past few days, has Huaiyu caused any trouble for you?" After a long period of silence, the empress dowager finally spoke up and asked Fu Huaiyu about his recent progress.
Was he really more concerned about his own son?
Fu Yuheng's gaze turned slightly cold. In the end, his heart was still somewhat cold. However, from the looks of it, she didn't seem to know that his son was conspiring against his.
"Imperial Mother is overthinking it. Ninth brother is very shrewd, but there is no need for me to worry." Sure enough, after he said those words, her complexion paled, and his eyes revealed a bit of surprise. In merely a few breaths, he returned to being calm, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Is my son joking?" She was trembling slightly, revealing her tensed state of mind. What did those words just now mean? Looking at Fu Yuheng before her, it was the first time she felt that he was so far away from her. It was as if she was unable to see through him.
Actually, she had already known that Fu Huaiyu was ambitious. This was also why she didn't want him to be involved in politics.
Fu Yuheng saw that her expression was a little absent-minded and did not continue speaking. Instead, he consoled her, "Imperial Mother, you need not think too much …"
With that, he instructed the Wu mama at his side, "Take good care of the empress dowager. If there's anything you need, go and inform Sun Gonggong directly."
Currently, Li Ruotong was not the only person in Li Ruotong's courtyard. Shen Qingwan was shockingly present as well. It could be seen that her expression was somewhat annoyed.
"Nonsense!" Shen Qingwan shouted. Her originally watery eyes were now full of power. Just a single glance from her was enough to make anyone shiver.
"NO!" I still want to go! " Yesterday night, Li Ruotong thought about it for an entire night. No one knew what she thought, but today, she had to rush to the border grounds. But fortunately, Autumn Water had informed Shen Qingwan of this matter in time, and only then was she stopped, not causing any consequences that could not be persuaded to stay.
Facing such a stubborn her, Shen Qingwan felt a little helpless. She knew how much she missed Ye Feng, but he was Fu Yuheng's concubine after all. If he went to the border without considering the consequences, it would only bring about a bad influence.
"Are you done yet!" He lowered his voice a little, this matter was not suitable for him to publicize, "Do you know what the consequences are for you to do this? If I get caught, not only you, even Ye Bodyguard will be affected. "
Shen Qingwan forcefully flung her hand away, causing her to stagger a little. What she said also made her freeze on the spot, speechless.
"What is it? Now you know how to be afraid? " She crossed her arms and looked at Ye Zichen's changing expression with a playful look in her eyes. It wasn't that she was making things difficult for her, it was just that this was the only way she could wake up.
Li Ruotong then regained consciousness, and immediately tears began to fall. Yesterday night, he had thought for a long time before finally falling asleep. However, when she dreamt that something had happened to Ye Feng, she immediately went to the border and lost her mind.
Only after recovering from their shock at this moment did they feel how laughable their actions were. If they were careless and let others find out, the two of them would probably end up like the lovebirds in the underworld.
"I... I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble again. " Tears were still rolling down her cheeks, this dejected and teary look made Shen Qing Wan feel heartache. Most of the time, she was just like a heartless person, and it was rare to see her like today, which showed just how important Ye Feng was to her.
"Forget it. Hurry up and get up. Be careful not to catch a cold." Earlier, Li Ruotong was afraid and directly sat on the ground, but now that she helped him up, he felt a little embarrassed.
But seeing that she had recovered her usual look, Shen Qing Wan heaved a sigh of relief, hoping to settle the situation at the border early. If it continued, she was really afraid that Li Ruotong would not be able to hold on, and impulsively ran over to the border.
He sighed as he felt that he was born to worry about his life.
In this palace, there were only two people who could speak. One of them was depressed every day, while the other was troubled by his feelings. None of them could make her worry.
Although she was helpless, she still had to help. Who asked her to make these two her soulmates?
Coincidentally, she heard that Xiao Shushen had also woken up, so she pulled Liu Ruo Tong and went over to have a look, since she was the empress, if she did not make a trip, it might cause people to be speechless.
"Gui mama, is the empress better now?" The two did not go in, but instead asked Gui mama who was standing guard by the door.
Seeing them come over, Gui mama didn't show the slightest bit of panic on his face, bowing politely. "Empress just woke up from her coma, and is still very weak right now. The two esteemed ladies want to visit, please come back tomorrow." She didn't like them from the start, so she didn't give them any face.
Shen Qing Wan did not mind, she was happy that Xiao Shushen did not see them again.
After they left, Xiao Shushen's voice finally came out from the door. "Cough cough … Gui mama... "
Her voice was still weak, and her pale face revealed the weakness of a woman. She had lost her usual dignified and generous appearance, and from what I could tell, she looked pitiful.
"Are they gone?" She hated it when people looked at her weak and weak appearance. Ever since she was young, her mother had taught her to be strong, to not be bullied by others.
In the beginning, she didn't think much of it. It wasn't until she was ten years old and had been beaten up to the point where her body couldn't even be considered complete because of her cowardice that she understood what her mother had said.
She couldn't lose.
"He's gone …" Gui mama felt her heart ache when she saw her weak appearance. She had followed her for a long time, but rarely saw her like this.
Xiao Shushen sat up with her support and drank a bowl of porridge before her complexion eased a little.
"If anyone comes to visit, tell them that I have already fallen asleep." She did not want to see anyone now, not even Fu Yuheng.
Gui mama agreed and tucked her in before closing the door. In the end, he even sighed and looked worriedly at the person who was sleeping inside.
During this time, Li Gui, Yue Yang and the others had also come over, but they were all blocked outside the door by her, and not a single one of them let her in. However, Liu Chugrong didn't come.
