C224 As Villa Owner

Shen Qingwan didn't expect him to continue like this, but she didn't know how to thank him.

Before she could reply, she heard the gentle voice of the man next to her, carrying a trace of a teasing tone, "How about you promise me your life?"

For some reason, there was a hint of expectation in his voice, as if she would really consider it. Hearing this, Shen Qingwan was stunned. Staring at him in a daze, was he joking with her?

The smile on the corner of his mouth melted when he saw his reaction. She really was an interesting girl, it was worthy of him saving her a few times. He didn't want to scare her anymore after she'd just gotten out of danger. He wiped the joy from the corner of his eyes and relaxed his tone. "I'm just joking with you."

She frowned and thought to herself that she was overthinking it. Apart from that, Shen Qing Wan did not know what else to say to him, but she fell silent. Even saying 'thank you' did not seem to be enough to express her gratitude.

After a while, a black clothed man came looking for them. "Manor Lord, has the matter been resolved?"

The man with the right to address the manor lord subconsciously looked at Shen Qingwan who was following behind him. However, he only stopped for a few seconds before withdrawing his gaze.

Quan nodded, "I still have some matters to attend to, you can go back first." He still needed to escort her back to the palace. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to rest at ease while she escaped danger. Hearing this, the man respectfully bowed once more, then left.

Shen Qingwan was puzzled as she listened to their conversation. Manor Lord? What was his identity? Why did he always save her? Why did he always come and save her? Many doubts arose in her heart, but she did not ask any further. This was his private matter, and if he was unwilling to say that she was her, it would be difficult for him to bring it up.

Indeed, Quan Zou didn't mention what happened just now. She only said lightly, "I'll send you back."

Shen Qingwan originally wanted to refuse, but she didn't eat much food, so she didn't have enough strength on her body. She might be caught if she left, but thinking about this, she nodded in agreement, "Then I'll be troubling Young Master Quan."

This kind of man is like a goddess, the aura on his body is uncontrollably admirable, he is definitely not an ordinary person, Shen Qingwan thought in her heart.

The two of them did not say much until they saw her to the entrance of the palace, "That way, I can be at ease." After escorting her to the palace gates, it was unlikely that anything would happen again. After all, that person should be protecting her.

Shen Qingwan looked at him and suddenly took a step back. She then bowed deeply and said sincerely, "I don't know what to say to Young Master other than thanks. Young Master has saved me many times. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best to help." It was the only promise she could give.

Quan Zouhua faintly smiled. Unexpectedly, she really took this matter to heart, "Alright."

Not far from the entrance of the palace, a tall and handsome man was looking around worriedly. Although his actions did not match his identity as a Sovereign King, he was momentarily worried that he could not care so much. From afar, he saw two figures getting closer and closer. Who else could it be other than Shen Qingwan?

The corners of his mouth lifted as he quickly went up to greet her. "My beloved concubine." There was a hint of urgency in his voice. The person he hadn't seen in a few days seemed to have lost some weight. He wanted to pull her into his embrace, but his sense of reason restrained him.

Shen Qingwan, who was still thanking him, raised her head in surprise.

"Your majesty." She let out a somewhat foolish cry, and her uncharacteristically red eyes unexpectedly turned slightly red. But in the end, she still gave a proper bow. "Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty."

"Get up." Fu Yuheng hurriedly helped her up. Joy could be seen in his eyes as he said, "I am relieved to be back." These words seemed to contain a thousand kilograms of worry and helplessness.

Right now, a faint smile could be seen on Quan Zouhua's face. It was only when Fu Yuheng's astonished gaze landed on him that he felt slightly blessed. "This commoner pays his respects to the Emperor."

Fu Yuheng's black pupils contracted when he saw him. There was a trace of surprise. Did he really save Shen Qingwan? There were too many questions to ask, but it was inconvenient to stand in front of the palace gate.

"Follow me to the palace first." He held Shen Qingwan's waist with one hand as if he wanted to protect her in the crook of his arm. His gaze would become soft when it touched her.

As she spoke, she brought the two of them into the palace. At first, she suspected that he would bring authority into the palace, but after thinking about how he was her savior, it seemed reasonable.

"Have you been wronged these past two days?" His voice was a little heartbroken. "I've made you suffer."

Initially, I felt a bit uncomfortable, but after hearing his comforting words, my heart felt much better and I felt a bit warm. "Chenqie is fine."

She was like this. Even if she was wronged, she was still used to swallowing it into her stomach. This made his heart ache even more. He tightly held her hand. "Zhen …" Looking into her eyes, her voice suddenly turned somewhat dry. "I will make it up to you."

"Chenqie is really fine. What's more, it's all because chenqie was careless that she ended up like this. Your majesty, there's no need to …"

"This is the imperial edict." Shen Qingwan chuckled when she heard that. The two of them acted as if no one else was aware of the power that lay behind them.

Fu Yuheng seemed to have talked a lot today. He was still worried and asked about her injuries. "Are you injured?"

She shook her head. Although the maid seemed to hate her, she had never done anything to her, so her body wasn't injured. "Your majesty, don't worry. They haven't done anything to me yet, and they haven't sustained any injuries either." Her voice was calm, but it sounded very comfortable.

"We'll call the imperial physician to take a look at you when we get back, or else Zhen won't be able to relax." Since he insisted, she didn't say anything else.

He then asked a few questions about the past two days, which Shen Qingwan answered one by one. When she thought about how such an imposing and tyrannical man like him could actually act so humbly and humbly today, and how he had abandoned his position as the emperor, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"I'll send someone to send you back to the palace. I'll visit you later." He summoned a eunuch to his side and gave Shen Qingwan to him. He didn't forget to tell him to summon the imperial physician to the palace for her to see.

"Chenqie will take her leave first." Before leaving, he did not forget to take a look at the smiling and gentle man and followed the young eunuch.

After she had walked a distance away, Fu Yuheng's gaze was still fixed on her. He only withdrew his gaze when the figure had moved further away. His eyes turned from gentle to gloomy, sweeping a glance at Quan behind him. "Let's go."

"Where is the emperor taking this commoner?"

His smile was very pretty, but Fu Yuheng only gave it an indifferent glance. "The royal study."

With that, he took the lead and left. Fu Yuheng was extremely surprised to see that he would actually intervene to save her. He was rather surprised.

Quan Quan lowered his eyes and laughed when he heard this, but didn't say anything as he lifted his feet and followed.
