After sending off Liu Chugrong and Consort De, Shen Qingwan felt much more relaxed. Since she was tied up and returned to the palace, her ears had not been at peace. Third Princess welcomed her to play as she liked children after all. However, the others seemed a little noisy.
"Esteemed Empress, don't be so willful in the future. This servant won't be able to protect you …" Lian Yun was very happy to see that she was safe and sound, but at the same time, he felt slightly guilty. She wanted to congratulate Shen Qingwan a long time ago, but she couldn't open her mouth since someone was always here.
Logically speaking, she was a servant, so she should have protected Shen Qingwan properly. But she got carried away because of a little bit of food, and in the end she was kidnapped. She kept blaming herself.
Shen Qingwan also saw Lian Yun's mood and laughed indifferently, "It's alright if you have a good fortune. However, she was unlucky to be caught several times. This can't be blamed on you. This means that I, your Empress, am more important. "
He didn't take her life, nor did he hurt her in the slightest. Furthermore, he knocked her out and took her away on the day she left the palace. So this person must have been very scheming and had been planning for a long time. She couldn't avoid him even if she wanted to. Even now, she still couldn't figure out who or why.
"Don't be sad, this matter naturally isn't your fault." Seeing that Lian Yun wanted to cry and wanted to say something, Shen Qing Wan stopped him immediately. She had never been comforting, and she had other things to do now.
Being stopped by Shen Qing Wan, Lian Yun could only look at the ground with her head lowered, and sob softly.
"Alright, stop crying." Shen Qing Wan helplessly smiled, "Let's go find Shufei. She must be worried sick about him." The two of them shared the same temperament and could even talk about themselves.
As expected, they entered the yard and Wu Ling had been waiting for a long time. She was very happy to see Ye Ci. "I am relieved to see that you are fine." As she spoke, she pulled Shen Qingwan to a seat, and placed her favorite pastries in front of her.
In this deep palace, the only person that could speak the truth was Shen Qingwan. Even though she had been in the palace for many years and Fu Yuheng had been indulging her, no one understood her and thus cherished her as a friend.
"I'm so sorry. Sorry to trouble you, sister." Hearing her sincere concern, Shen Qingwan felt very warm inside. Did she not see her as a friend?
The two girls looked at each other and smiled. They didn't need to say anything to understand each other's words. When she arrived, Wu Ling was playing the zither, so she didn't do anything else.
"Sister's zither arts seem to have improved." When the song ended, Shufei could not help but open her mouth to praise. She only smiled faintly, but there was also a sense of pride in it. He rejoiced in his heart. Thankfully, he had returned safely. Perhaps it was because of this that he was able to gain some understanding in his heart.
Wu Ling saw the worry in her eyes and couldn't help asking, "Sister, what happened? She was fine just then, but then she suddenly remembered something." In his heart, he was certain that it was because of the binding technique.
Shen Qingwan nodded and told him what she thought, as well as some details about being locked up in the wooden house. Wu Ling frowned when she heard this. "This is really strange. Why did they take her away?" After hearing the other party speak of the same question as her, she found it hard to make heads or tails of it. It was already a shocking news that a concubine had been taken.
Shen Qingwan being rescued was a good thing for them, but for Fu Huaiyu, it was definitely a bad thing.
Just who was that white-clothed man!
"Just who could have such ability?" He had asked himself this question no less than four or five times, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of who it might be.
"What is the prince thinking? Why are you so annoyed?" This is the Stomach Nourishing Porridge that chenqie made for you today. Wen Ling saw that Fu Huaiyu was annoyed, but he had already come to a conclusion. However, in front of him, he had to look gentle and gentle.
When he saw Wen Ling, he did not lose his temper, but the darkness in his eyes was creepy. You sure are considerate to prepare these for This King every day. " Receiving the stomach nourishing porridge, Fu Huaiyu smiled.
Wen Ling stood by his side and watched him drink his wine before finally feeling at ease. His plan seemed to be going smoothly, just as she had intended.
"It's just that I don't know why I feel so irritated these days." After standing for a while, Fu Huaiyu spoke again. These days, for some reason, it was easy to get angry.
"Perhaps it's because of the weather. Early spring is always like this." Hearing this, Wen Ling smiled and said, but in truth, she was very clear about the reason. After listening to her explanation, he nodded in agreement. The weather had warmed up, and the room seemed to be starting to get stuffy.
Besides, even if he felt annoyed, it was useless. He needed to think things over carefully. He couldn't bear to hurt Shen Qingwan. However, Fu Yuheng, that Emperor, might not be the case.
Under Wen Ling's consoling, Fu Huaiyu's heart relaxed. The Prime Minister Liu of the Prime Minister's Estate, however, felt that it was a bit strange that he did not make a single move in the past few days. There wasn't even a single person relaying the message.
Prime Minister Liu picked up the case and put it down, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes seemed to have increased.
However, there was still good news. Shen Qing Wan had not been keeping track of the Wu Shang Shu anymore, otherwise, she might really be implicated. If the matter of him framing Wu Shang Shu was discovered, Fu Yuheng would not let him off so easily. After all, this was such a good opportunity.
When that time came, he would probably end up like the Wu Shang Shu, which was really scary just thinking about it.
"Master, new news is coming from outside." Just as he was thinking about it, the butler walked in hastily and whispered a few words into Prime Minister Liu's ears.
"Alright, I understand." Prime Minister Liu nodded his head after hearing what he said. Shen Qingwan's luck was really great, but the only person who dared to do so was probably the unknown Ninth Prince.
"Has there been any news from the Imperial Concubine for the past few days?" Staring at the butler's eyes, Prime Minister Liu became slightly impatient. This daughter of his would usually cause trouble for him, but he was his own flesh and blood after all.
"No, it's just …" The steward's eyes seemed to wander, as if there was something hard to say.
The Prime Minister Liu was a little confused, he waved his hand and indicated for him to continue.
"This old servant has seen Second Miss walk very close to the Ninth Prince in the past few days." He rubbed his hands, and the meaning behind his action was clear to see.
This piece of news was somewhat unexpected. In his impression, his second daughter had always kept her edge hidden. Other than the fact that she revealed her head during the last poetry meet, she really didn't feel like she existed.
