C225 Manor Lord Mo You

Quan followed Fu Yuheng into the imperial study. The silence between the two almost blossomed.

Other than him keeping his regal demeanor and putting down his pride when facing Shen Qingwan, the rest of them do not have such privileges.

After entering the imperial study, Fu Yuheng walked straight up to the Dragon Throne and sat down. His black, obsidian eyes stared fixedly at the man below. His leisurely posture and domineering demeanor made one feel pressured just by looking at him.

If it was an ordinary person, they would have been intimidated by his aura to the point that they wouldn't even dare to lift their eyelids. However, Quan Quan was not a person who had no experience in the world. His deep eyes were calm without any ripples, and the corner of his mouth was gently moving. His face was warm and refined, and his white clothes made him seem like a god from the heavens.

The two of them did not speak, but they did not feel awkward either.

"Why is Manor Lord Mo You here at the royal palace?" His black eyes were like a whirlpool. He couldn't tell what was hidden inside. His voice was low, and he put a hand on the table. The pressure came, but Quan only smiled faintly.

Quan Zouhua used to like to roam the world and wander around everywhere. The thing he didn't want to come in contact with the most was this square wall. But today, he had come to the Imperial Palace, which inevitably made him suspicious.

"This commoner would never interact with the imperial government." He had a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, and his words were gentle. He gave a slight nod of his head, and was so modest and courteous that no one could find fault with him.

He did not say the reason directly. It was as if he was walking in circles. Fu Yuheng was not in a hurry either, seeming to be very relaxed as he waited for him to continue speaking.

Quan Zouhua chuckled. He knew that if he did not reveal the reason why, he would not let him off. His gaze also became a little lazier. "Now, this commoner naturally has something to do."

"Something important?" Raising his brows, Fu Yuheng seemed to be savoring the aftertaste of the two words, but he also seemed to be doubting the meaning behind the two words.

"Yes."

Fu Yuheng slowly retracted his slightly leant forward body. His eagle-like gaze swept across his calm face, but he did not continue questioning him. He was an emperor. There were some things that did not need to be asked so clearly. Letting others tell others about it was his dignity, and what he guessed was his own ability.

"You have to reward the Consort Xian after saving her." The corner of her mouth curled up slightly, but her smile did not reach her eyes. "I shall give you a thousand gold to express my gratitude."

"This commoner is ignorant and ignorant, there is no need for the Emperor to reward him in such a manner."

His refusal caused Fu Yuheng's black eyes to gradually grow interested. His eyes became ice-cold.

"This commoner was fated to be with the Concubine Xian, that's why they came to our rescue." His voice was soft, casual, but firm.

Fate with the Concubine Xian? The words sounded so uncomfortable that Fu Yuheng narrowed his eyes, as if he was trying to figure out what the old man was trying to say.

"Therefore, please retract your order, Your Majesty."

The darkness in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He waved his hand. "Alright!" Since he didn't want the money, he wouldn't force it. He would just treat it as him filling up the national treasury.

Quan Shuang smiled but didn't say anything, but he understood in his heart.

How could Fu Yuheng not see through his compassion? The way he treated Shen Qingwan outside the palace and the way he looked at her were not things that a casual meeting should have. Because fate had saved her, how could he not know that his thoughts towards her were not simple? His voice couldn't help but become colder as his black eyes changed unpredictably. His gaze was dark. "Since she's my concubine, I'll thank her on her behalf."

The temperament of an overlord could be easily changed. This was also the principle of accompanying a monarch like a tiger. Although this sentence wasn't very clear, it was still very swearing.

Shen Qingwan was the concubine of the imperial harem, so she could only be his woman. It wouldn't be right for other men to have even the slightest bit of consideration for her.

Hearing this, Quan Zouhua's complexion still remained unchanged. However, his eyes did not calm down in the end. He shook his head mockingly. "This subject will not obstruct the emperor. This subject will take his leave."

A warning was already sufficient. Fu Yuheng did not keep him and simply answered with an "En."

When Quan arrived in front of the door, he suddenly stopped. He straightened his back and said in a clear and bright voice, "Watch over her." With that, he quickly left.

When they left the royal study, they saw Shen Qingwan in a pavilion not far away. Her eyes couldn't help lighting up, she coincidentally turned her head, and the two of them looked at each other in midair for a while.

Her gentle eyes narrowed, and she moved her gaze away. She walked up to her and asked, "Why did you come out again?" She had just returned to the palace and was supposed to be raising her.

"Thank you, Young Master Quan, for saving me." Shen Qingwan smiled leisurely.

Quan couldn't help but smile, the corner of his mouth even more gentle. "How many times have you said 'thank you'?" Even though she said that, she couldn't think of how to thank him without thanking him.

"Saving you is my problem, so there is no need for you to thank me." His resolute words interrupted all her thanks.

Shen Qingwan had no choice but to give up, recalling that he had just come out from the imperial study. "What did the emperor tell you?" She was curious as to what Fu Yuheng had talked about with him. After all, his temperament was not something she could fathom.

"It's nothing. Zuo just thanked me for saving you."

His words did not cause Shen Qing Wan to doubt him, but she did not believe that it was just a simple conversation. However, she didn't ask any further. Suddenly, a carrier pigeon flew over and landed in his hand.

He opened a note on the carrier pigeon, and his facial expression changed drastically.

Shen Qingwan saw that his expression was a little strange, she wanted to ask him what she wanted to ask first.

"I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. You should be more careful in the future." Even though there was something urgent, his tone was still gentle, making it hard for people to resist.

Knowing that he was doing it for her own good, Shen Qingwan nodded her head in gratitude.

"Empress, who was that young master just now?" Lian Yun could not help but ask after he left. "Seeing that she seems to be familiar with the Empress, this servant is very curious about his identity. I have never seen him before." could not help but take a few more glances at Quan Zou's back.

She was just as curious about his identity as Lian Yun, but he was too mysterious, making her unable to guess his identity.

Seeing that she did not reply, Lian Yun continued to ask, "Empress … "Ahhh!" However, just as she opened her mouth, she was knocked on the head. Although it wasn't painful, she could feel it. She stared at Shen Qingwan, feeling wronged.

"The Empress has turned bad." He joked as he rubbed his forehead.

"There's no need to think too much about his identity. We won't have any interactions in the future." She thought that he had only acted out of good intentions to save her a few times. In the future, they would be people that she would not be able to meet again.

Lian Yun did not have the mind to guess, since the left side was just a unrelated person. However, she suddenly thought of something and panicked for a moment. "I promised Xiao Man that I would help her get her clothes from the Raccoon Department. I forgot about that!"

Shen Qing Wan smiled. When did she become unsteady again, "Go, I'll stay here alone for a while."

"Then this servant will go first." With that, he hurriedly left.
