C198 A feeling of pity arose in his heart

"Is the empress awake?" Fu Yuheng looked at the tightly shut door and inquired. After being unconscious for such a long time, logically speaking, he should have woken up already. However, he didn't know why he said that she didn't see anyone.

"Esteemed Empress woke up this morning, but …" Gui mama was a bit hesitant. He didn't know if he should say that the empress didn't see that many people. After all, the person in front of him was the emperor, even if the empress said she didn't even see him. But she knew she still wanted his attention.

"But what difficulties?" When Fu Yuheng saw her hesitation, he felt that she had something to say.

"There are many ladies who came to visit you, but the Empress rejected them all …" "Your servant saw that the Empress's mood wasn't very good …" After saying that, she still hoped that he would be able to comfort Xiao Shushen.

"Creak …" The door was pushed open with a loud creak.

Xiao Shushen was also awakened by this sound, she rubbed her drowsy eyes, obviously still lacking in spirit, the color of her lips was light and emitted a special softness, "Gui mama, is that you?" She raised her head and looked at the door.

"It's me." A low and deep voice came from behind the screen, followed by a bright yellow figure that appeared in her line of sight.

She had clearly instructed the Gui mama not to let anyone in, but she didn't expect that he would still let him in. However, she soon understood. After all, she was the Emperor. Even if he wanted to do something, she, a mere servant, wouldn't be able to stop him.

Struggling to move, it was a pity that he didn't have the strength in the end. "The emperor forgives his concubine and can't pay respects for the emperor." There was a hint of disappointment in her voice. She hated herself for being so powerless.

Fu Yuheng viewed her as a different person from the past. Everyone said that women were made of water, and now, he had experienced it for himself. No matter when she blocked the arrows for him, or when she was at court, she had never admitted defeat, so it could be said that she was very strong.

Seeing her weak and delicate appearance, he suddenly felt some pity for her, and a feeling of wanting to protect her grew in his heart.

"It's alright. Take good care of your body. I'm only here to see you today. If there's anything wrong, please come and tell me." I will accompany you when you are better. " His gaze softened as he beckoned to Gui mama. "Did your esteemed mother drink the medicine?"

Hearing that, the Gui mama shook his head, "Not yet."

Fu Yuheng knew this, and reached out his hand to tuck Xiao Shushen in. "Bring the medicine here, I'll personally feed it to her."

How could such a meticulous girl have such malicious intentions? Fu Yuheng doubted his previous thoughts. Could it be that he had wrongly blamed her? After all, she had always been dignified and virtuous in the palace. Even when he would sometimes ignore her, she would not complain.

"Your majesty, medicine." The Gui mama returned quickly and passed the medicine bowl to him.

Xiao Shushen endured the bitterness in her mouth, and only frowned slightly, but did not display any discomfort.

He had not treated her so warmly in a long time, especially since Shen Qingwan had entered the palace, and the number of times he had come to her palace was extremely few.

"Do you feel any pain?" He was about to offer it to her again when he noticed her frown and asked.

"Not really." As Xiao Shushen said this, her face was more elegant than usual, and also more delicate.

It was bitter, but there was nothing more bitter than his indifference to her.

She actually had some joy at his arrival, but she knew that it would only be temporary and would not last for long.

His eyes darkened. He was the one who left her alone, so how could he blame her?

Once the medicine was exhausted, Fu Yuheng did not stay any longer and left after giving a few instructions.

But because of this, he did not notice the hint of madness that flashed past Xiao Shushen's eyes.

Shen Qingwan's allergies were already better, so she did not stay in her room to rest and continued to investigate going to the Wu Shang Shu. After learning about the Queen's matter, the marble temple's side gave up their clues. They raised their eyes and looked in the direction of Liu Chugrong's courtyard with some laziness.

It seems like this really is a big problem …

After pondering for a short while, she had already figured out the relationship between the two of them. Xiao Shushen was not a simple person, she must have long discovered that Fu Huaiyu had a lot of patience. Now that he had begun to attack, she was an enormous hindrance to him. If she did not remove her from the picture, it was likely that she would also end up falling into a state of restlessness.

The chill seeped into her four limbs along with the wind. She had wanted to find a safe place in this huge harem, but she couldn't do anything about it. Someone would always drag her into this muddy water. Furthermore, she knew from a young age that this world was cold. If this world were to be touched by these treacherous officials, it would be even worse for the common people.

"Does little sister know how to find peace and stability?" As he spoke, he exuded the aura of an otherworldly fairy, as if he had seen through the mortal world.

Li Ruotong, who was sitting face to face with her in the pavilion, was slightly startled, and shook her head.

She did not make things difficult for her and only chuckled, "If I don't become stronger and get squeezed by others everywhere, how can I be at ease?" Helplessness was reflected in his eyes. At first, she only wanted to live a peaceful life, but then she entered the harem. In a place like this where people ate people, how could she live a peaceful life if she wasn't strong?

Li Ruotong understood in her heart, and the eyes he looked at her with felt a little more pain. She knew that she didn't like scheming and scheming, but those people came looking for her, causing her to have no choice but to resist.

"Let nature take its course …" He sighed and picked up a fallen leaf from the ground. He then landed on the ground and returned to his original position. His life was nothing more than that.

She did not want to be involved in Xiao Shushen's matter, but without the aforementioned information, it was still a matter of time. If she dragged it on for too long, the clues would have been erased sooner or later.

Now, she suddenly started to investigate. The Prime Minister Liu must have already started preparing for it.

Perhaps it was due to the blessing of the heavens that Shen Qingwan received the news from a guard in the evening. She said that she had found the old housekeeper of the Wu Manor years ago, the one who had stuffed the framing account book into the Wu Shang Shu's study.

"How did you get him to tell the truth?" Shen Qingwan revealed a surprised expression. Logically speaking, if it involved him, he would definitely not be willing to tell her the truth.

The guard's face turned red. He was the one in charge of guarding this courtyard, but a few days ago, she had called him to investigate some clues. "In reply to the Empress, the old housekeeper has a son. I originally did not know what to do, but it was Miss Lian Yun who reminded me. That's why I used his son as a threat."
