Fu Yuheng went to Shen Qingwan's courtyard when he had nothing else to do, and it was much easier to chat with her during his free time.

Beside her was a bright crimson peach blossom. When she took the cup from her hand, her previous tiredness had also lightened a bit. When her black eyes swept across her face, she couldn't help but soften.

Slightly sipping a mouthful of tea, a faint, delicate fragrance assaulted his nose. He woke up from his stupor and put down the teacup. He raised his eyebrows in appreciation. "There is a faint tea taste, strong but not bitter, fragrant but not astringent."

"Your majesty understands tea, but chenqie is just casually drinking it." Her voice was plain, but with the fragrance of the Six Pines Cucumber, she also felt that it was very sweet.

"The palace has received some Jun Shan's silver needles. Next time, I'll send someone to deliver some to you." Shen Qing Wan did not like playing around with knowledge in front of him, but how could he not know her intelligence?

Hearing this, she shook her head and tactfully rejected his good intentions. "Chenqie doesn't understand the Way of Tea and would only waste that good tea for nothing."

A meaningful smile appeared on Fu Yuheng's face as he glanced at the peach blossoms at the side. "A cave mansion has been opened, a mountain of kings has been carved out of the hearts of men." He turned his gaze to her. "You'll like the smell of it."

Since it was a grand friendship, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to refuse it again. "Then chenqie will thank Your Majesty for the gift." There was a smile on his face.

His hand slowly covered her slender fingers, and his fingers gently caressed her abdomen. His voice was somewhat soft, but very pleasant to listen to. "This Emperor will teach you how to taste tea."

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, her face turned red, and she unnaturally raised her eyes to look at him before lowering her head. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart, but he really didn't reject his intimacy. "Thank you, your majesty."

Fu Yuheng did not press him any further. He leisurely retracted his hand, and a trace of the fragrance of her body seemed to still remain on his fingertip. He immediately felt his mouth turn dry and his tongue turn dry as he raised his teacup to take another sip.

For a moment, the atmosphere became more subtle. No one spoke a word.

The corner of her mouth lifted slightly, however, but it wasn't big enough to see clearly. "Many thanks to Your Majesty for not disliking chenqie's stupidity." As she spoke, her tone had clearly become a bit more relaxed, and there was even a hint of ridicule in her tone.

Fu Yuheng's gaze was fine and fragmented as he propped his forehead with his arm. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. "If I were to say you're stupid, I'm afraid you're an unintelligent person."

Shen Qingwan didn't refute or express her opinion on this matter. She only smiled meaningfully, picked up a piece of Dragon-Sore Soup, and started eating. It was unknown whether it was because she had something on her mind or because she had also been disgraced, but she actually choked on this tiny Dragon Tooth Sesame.

Upon seeing this, Fu Yuheng immediately took the cup in front of him and placed it next to her lips. His voice also carried a comforting tone. "Be careful. Drink some water."

Not caring about the fact that this was a cup that he had used before, she accepted it and drank a gulp to ease her breathing before recovering.

The sudden turn of events caused her to feel somewhat embarrassed. Her usual calmness seemed to have dissipated as she looked at the cup in his mouth, her ears unconsciously tinged with the color of peach blossoms. "Chenqie, you're disrespectful."

Not only did Fu Yuheng not blame his, he even found it novel and novel. Normally, she was too restrained and indifferent, which was more like her true personality. "It's alright." He looked like he was in a good mood.

Shen Qingwan didn't know what to say. At this time, Xiao Man coincidentally ran over with a pigeon in her arms.

"Empress, there's a letter over there." After bowing to Fu Yuheng, she took off the letter tied to the pigeon's leg and passed it to him.

Shen Qingwan's expression immediately became serious, and the bashfulness of the woman she had just revealed disappeared. She waved her hand, signaling her to withdraw.

She did not mind Fu Yuheng sitting opposite her nor did she intend to show him the contents of the letter. This had been her plan in the first place.

There were only a few words on the letter: Preliminary success.

She pursed her lips and slowly stuffed the small slip of paper into her pocket. As for Fu Yuheng, he had a frown on his face.

He did give her a lot of freedom and trust to do her own thing. But when she was so oblivious to his calculations, he felt bad again. He wanted to know what she was doing, so he couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

Shen Qingwan stuffed the slip of paper into her pocket. She was in a good mood, and when she saw the black eyes of the man, she frowned. Remembering the face she had just lost in front of him, she wanted to take it back.

"Does the emperor want to know?" She asked this question somewhat seductively, a provocative and charming smile in her eyes.

"Yes." Fu Yuheng nodded, his heart slightly sour.

He is the emperor, even when interrogating others, he has to maintain the majesty of a royal family. Shen Qingwan couldn't help but want to laugh, "Really?"

"Yes." It was the same word, but his eyes were filled with urgency.

Shen Qingwan's smile also gradually widened, and she suddenly winked at him with a hint of playfulness, "This is a secret!"

Her pure smile and curved eyes were like the cleanest thing in the world. They weren't contaminated by the world at all. Her purity shocked him.

"Your majesty, there is no need to be anxious. All you need to do is patiently wait." Seeing him in a daze, she only thought that he was shocked by her words and slightly tilted his head. However, after finishing his sentence, he did not bring up the matter of the letter. It was strange that Fu Yuheng did not wish to ask any further. It was as if he was still lost in his own thoughts.

On the other hand, Liu Chugrong's yard was a different scene. She paced about restlessly, looking out of the house anxiously. However, it was very quiet outside, with not the slightest movement.

"Xiao Lv!" She anxiously called out a palace maid and repeatedly confirmed, "Has Ninth Prince really not sent anyone yet?" She still hadn't received a reply. If there was any change to her … The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. This was not good, she could not sit still and do nothing, "Send someone to Ninth Prince's Mansion to investigate!"

"Yes sir!" After Xiao Lv replied, a young eunuch was ordered to quietly leave the palace. She wanted to find out more about the situation and bring back a reply from the Ninth Prince.

However, he didn't know that as soon as he stepped out of the palace gates, he was being followed. It was the person that Fu Yuheng had sent out. He had already planted spies on Liu Chugrong's side.

"This subordinate has been following you all the way. It was the palace in the palace that sent you to the Ninth Prince's Mansion." His eyes were resting on the ground, but the cold voice that came out of his mouth sent chills down everyone's spines.

Fu Yuheng narrowed his black eyes dangerously but said nothing. Indeed, as he expected, he was his good Imperial Consort. His thoughts were extremely vast, to the point where even the position of Imperial Concubine couldn't be held back.

He sat on the throne and lowered his head to look at the people on the ground, waiting for them to continue.

"If your subordinate is not wrong, it should be. As for whether it is someone who is plotting against you or some other person who is plotting against you, I do not know." His job was to follow the person who went out of Liu Chugrong's courtyard, "That person stayed in Ninth Prince's Mansion for a long time, Ninth Prince's guards did not stop him, and he has probably gone there more than once. But seeing as how you're sneaking around, it's definitely not doing anything good! "

Fu Yuheng nodded thoughtfully. "Continue watching. I'd like to see exactly what she wants to do."

How dare he commit a crime right under his nose?
