"To the emperor."
Fu Yuheng threw him a glance before lowering his head. He reached for another imperial report and opened it. "Speak."
"Imperial Concubine was accidentally struck by the Princess yesterday and fell into the water. Now that you've caught the cold, what do you think?" The eunuch bowed and said respectfully.
Hearing this, Fu Yuheng did not reply for a long time. Just when he thought that he had already forgotten about this matter, he heard a magnetic voice sound out calmly. "He really is a troublemaker. He can't stand the cold."
The person sitting on the seat of honor coldly snorted. He was so frightened that his legs instantly became weak.
"Let's go. Since our imperial concubine is suffering from the cold, we should go and take a look." Fu Yuheng swung his wide yellow sleeves, stood up, and slowly walked down the stairs. "Prepare a palanquin."
"Yes." With that said, the eunuch accepted the order and left.
The cool breeze mixed with the light drizzle blew over, landing on his long and slender hand that had lifted the curtain.
Fu Yuheng's fingertips trembled slightly as he wiped away all the emotion in his eyes. He got off the sedan chair and narrowed his long and narrow almond-shaped eyes. The eunuch at the side hurriedly helped him get an umbrella as he silently followed by his side.
"Lamei, how is Imperial Consort Liu?" he asked, with a touch of concern in his voice.
La Mei then bowed her head and replied, "In reply to Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine's health is slightly better. Many thanks to Your Majesty for your concern."
"That's good." He nodded his head and looked over to the eunuch who put away the umbrella, "You stay here for now, I'll go in and take a look at my imperial concubine."
"Yes." The eunuch bowed and stepped aside to open the door for him.
When he entered the room, he saw Liu Xiangrong leaning on the soft seat. His usual clothes were gone, but now he looked simpler and less outstanding.
He took a few steps forward. His tone was full of concern, but his heart was still a little displeased. "My beloved concubine, is your health alright?"
Liu Chugrong then opened his eyes. When he saw Fu Yuheng, he stood up and bowed to him. He was secretly delighted. "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Your concubine's health has improved."
"That's good. You're my beloved concubine, so it's only right that I care about you. Rest well and don't overwork yourself. With the imperial physician here, this chill will naturally be better." He sat at the side and looked at her. If he ignored the indifference in her eyes, the gentleness in his eyes would have overflowed.
"Your majesty." Her red lips pursed slightly, regret in her eyes. Her slender hand lightly tugged at Fu Yuheng's sleeve. "The princess accidentally pushed chenqie away. If it wasn't for that, chenqie might have been able to serve the emperor."
Liu Chu Rong complained with a bewitching tone, and his eyes lit up. If he was an idler, he would have long been numb to his tailbone.
Fu Yuheng released her hand without batting an eyelid, "Ling Ling was indeed a bit rash on this matter. I will tell you about her later." "However, she is still a child. As your senior, just let her be."
Sighing, he extended his hand to stroke her forehead, but his expression was slightly cold as he embraced her shoulders.
"That's true. He's a child after all." She lowered her eyes and tried to look like a virtuous concubine of the Emperor's.
Fu Yuheng nodded and got up. "Since my beloved concubine is fine, then I will leave first. There are still matters of governance that need to be handled by me."
"Yes, chenqie will respectfully send you off, your majesty." He said he was going to take care of the country, so what reason did she have to keep him? Letting out a breath, she looked at his back as he disappeared into the distance.
"Empress …" Xiao Lv lowered her head, seeing her sinister gaze, she trembled.
"Go take a look. Where has the emperor gone? Report back to me." Liu Chu Rong held back the hatred in his eyes and muttered to himself, "Remember not to be discovered, otherwise …" "Consequences …" Lowering his eyes to look at the kneeling Xiao Lv, he said sinisterly.
"Yes …"
If she could not obtain this harem, how could others have access to it?
At this moment, she was close to becoming a devil. His desire for Fu Yuheng's sole favor had already reached its peak and she could no longer suppress it.
She longed for this expression of concern that he would show only to her, not sharing it equally with others.
Xiao Lv followed behind Fu Yuheng until he saw him enter the Empress's palace hall.
"Sigh …" She sighed helplessly. She knew that Liu Xiangrong would probably scold her again when she got back.
She had been by her side for several months, but she had never been able to get used to this person's temper.
"How does the Emperor plan to deal with the matter of the Wu Shang Shu?" Shen Qingwan rested her cheek as she looked at Fu Yuheng, who was seriously reading the imperial reports.
Her phoenix eyes were gentle, yet also a little boring. She had been with him ever since he had called her over, but he didn't seem to have anything to say to her. This confused her quite a bit, but she could only wait patiently. At this moment, she finally couldn't hold back and found a topic to talk about.
"I have not thought it through." Fu Yuheng cast a glance at her hopeful eyes. A trace of a smile flashed through them before it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Haven't you come to a conclusion?" Shen Qingwan slightly frowned, showing her little daughter's dissatisfaction, "Your majesty's efficiency is a little too slow." He mumbled in a low voice, but he didn't see the ridicule in the eyes of the people around him.
"Do you know, beloved concubine, that if others speak of us like this, they're going to kill us?" Fu Yuheng stroked his pen with his finger, as if he was pondering about something.
Shen Qingwan was stunned for a moment before she smiled. "The emperor also said that someone else …" Her phoenix-like eyes slightly perked up and a hint of a smile appeared in them.
"You're in quite a good mood today." He looked at her in the blink of an eye.
"Of course." Ye Zichen nodded without paying much attention, but didn't say anything more.
When Fu Yuheng saw her act this way, he was astonished in his heart. "Why are you making your beloved concubine so happy? "It's better to just let me hear it …" His body slightly leaned in her direction, looking somewhat flirtatious.
"Secret!" Shen Qingwan wasn't afraid, she just stared straight into his eyes.
The depth of that gaze was like a deep valley. It was mysterious and unfathomable, yet it had a surprising attractiveness.
"Have you seen enough beloved concubines?" The smile at the corner of her mouth had a slight charm to it, making her feel a bit dizzy.
When did she become so unsteady?
A blush flashed across his face, but it soon dissipated.
"I've seen enough." Shen Qing Wan came back to his senses, but did not panic. He lowered his eyes and spoke indifferently.
"If you haven't seen enough, you can just watch it." Fu Yuheng chuckled. He only felt that her embarrassing state was extremely interesting. It was the only thing that could make him feel relaxed other than this complicated task.
"If you have nothing else to do in the future, come and take care of official business with me."
Shen Qingwan raised her head and looked at the relaxed face and the person who buried himself in the case. Her eyes turned soft again, "That's good …"
