Shen Qing Wan suddenly remembered something, and looked up and down at the guard. Previously, she saw Lian Yun look in the direction of the guard a few times, so she had paid attention to him, but now, she realised that she was the same person.
"What's your name?" There was a trace of admiration in the depths of his eyes. He was obviously quite satisfied with this guard.
The guard was flattered. "To reply esteemed wangfei, your subordinate understands."
Mu X brought Shen Qing Wan to a small hut outside the palace, where the old butler was already waiting. The moment he saw him, his entire body began to tremble. This humble commoner was merely possessed by a mind of his own for a moment, and thus did such a foolish thing. Please be magnanimous and let this son of mine live. "
When Shen Qingwan saw this, she frowned. Mu Eleven could see her displeasure, "Shut up!"
His whole body quivered, and the old butler quieted down. He lowered his head in fear, not daring to speak again.
"Tell me everything you know." Shen Qingwan casually pulled out a chair and sat down. She closed her eyes as she weighed the truth in his words.
The old steward was obviously scared and he spoke in a staccato manner, but he clearly narrated what had happened. After all, he was a steward, so his words were very orderly.
He made it clear that someone had given him a huge sum of money and allowed him to steal the Wu Shang Shu's account book. That was the reason why the Wu Shang Shu was imprisoned. As a result, he did not know who the other party was. However, from the direction that he was leaving in, it seemed like he was most likely going towards the residence of the Prime Minister Liu.
After listening to his story, Shen Qingwan opened her eyes. A complex look flashed across her eyes, as if she was in deep water. Relying on his few testimonies, it could only mean that the Wu Shang Shu was indeed framed, but it was unable to uncover the identity of the culprit.
After entering the palace, Shen Qingwan went straight to the imperial study room and informed Fu Yuheng of this matter.
"Really?" He slammed his fist on the table, anger burning in his eyes as he felt a surge of energy and blood in his heart. It really was his good prime minister, actually doing such a thing behind his back.
It was just that without evidence, he couldn't do anything to the Prime Minister Liu. Moreover, with Prime Minister Liu's current position in the palace, it was truly a thorny matter.
If it was really as Shen Qingwan had said, then he really had to clean up these ministers. After all, without the help of those ministers, he wouldn't be able to do so much no matter what.
After Shen Qingwan told Fu Yuheng about this matter, she also felt relieved. The burden on her shoulders was immediately lifted.
Fu Yuheng thought about it again and again. Finally, he decided to go over to Liu Chugrong's place to test it out. If it was really as Shen Qingwan had said … Then...
When he thought of this, the expression in his eyes became even more intense, causing others to feel a sense of danger.
Liu Chugrong didn't know that Fu Yuheng had already become suspicious of her. As he ate the Dragon Eye that he had brought from Jiangnan in a leisurely manner, he felt at ease.
Ever since Xiao Shushen was poisoned, she no longer made any movements, and instead spent most of her time in the courtyard to rest, so as not to reveal anything. However, she had forgotten about the matter that prevented Shen Qing Wan from investigating the Wu Shang Shu.
"Loving concubines is so elegant." Fu Yuheng's brows twitched as he looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. It was as if he was just here to see her.
Liu Chugrong didn't feel anything was amiss either. Seeing him come over, he revealed a happy expression. "Chenqie greets Your Majesty." She hadn't expected him to come today, and his expression didn't seem to be questioning her, so she was more at ease.
"You have been quite quiet these days." Fu Yuheng pointed, but he still wore a gentle smile on his face. "It has saved me a lot of trouble."
"Your Majesty, please don't tease chenqie." She was slightly startled, but then she snuggled up against him and thought back to when she had first entered the palace. Back then, she had always been in trouble and always wanted him to help her take care of the aftermath. He lowered his eyes slightly, appearing a little shy. "It's chenqie's fault."
"Well, what's wrong with that? Since my beloved concubine has already entered the palace, she's one of my people. I naturally won't let you suffer any grievances. " With a chuckle, his deep voice carried a hint of charm. However, his heart was cold. "However, it's good for you to be obedient. After all, you're already one of us, so it's better to not cause any trouble." With that, Fu Yuheng sized up her expression from the corner of his eyes. Sure enough, he saw the change in her expression, panic appearing in her eyes.
Liu Chugrong felt his scalp tingle, but he acted as if he didn't know anything, as if what he just said was just a whim. He pretended to be calm, but his fingertips were trembling slightly. "Your majesty is right."
However, it was clear that he didn't have any intention of letting her go. He slightly raised the corner of his lips, "My beloved concubine, what's wrong? "I can see that you don't look too good." After saying so, he used his hand to hold her fingertip, causing her face to turn even paler.
"Chenqie is just a little tired today." Liu Chugrong couldn't figure out his intention as his palms started to sweat.
"Could it be that you've been tired after doing something these past few days?" Fu Yuheng furrowed his brows. He looked very nervous, but it only increased the panic on her face.
She had clearly stayed in her room to rest for the past few days, but when he asked this question, she couldn't help but worry that he had noticed something. However, looking at his appearance, it seemed as if he was just a normal care and concern, causing her to be a bit unsure.
"Since my beloved concubine is tired, then let's rest early. I'll come see you in a few days." When he turned around, Fu Yuheng's gaze turned colder. However, it had only lasted for a single breath, but it had returned to its normal state, causing people to be unable to understand what he meant.
It was only a few sentences, but it made Liu Chugrong feel as if he had just walked through the gates of hell. His hands were already wet.
She didn't know if it was because she was too nervous, but she felt that his words just now were a reminder to her. Since she was his person, she should be at ease. After all, she was already his person.
It could be said that the water poured out by her married daughter was only an outsider to the Liu Estate. However, she also knew that with the Liu Family around, he would not let her go.
As for Fu Yuheng, who had turned around and left, he was also recalling her expression just now. His eyes were serene and cold, like a thousand years old ice. Now it seemed that there was something wrong with her, he had underestimated her before.
The Liu Family had raised a good daughter. It seemed that the Prime Minister's position was too secure …
His knuckles crackled, and the corners of his mouth drew out a slight curve. "Since that's the case, why don't you let me loosen your skin and bones …" Perhaps, it was time for them to exchange blood above the imperial government. Otherwise, wouldn't they be terminally ill? "Haha …" A low voice resounded within the hall, like the demon notes from hell.
