In the great hall of Ninth Prince's Mansion sat a man.
At this time, a guard came to report, so Fu Huaiyu didn't hesitate to let them in. The guard saluted him. Anxious, he waved his hand and said in an irritated tone, "Speak."
Seeing the fierceness in his eyes, the guard did not dare to be vague and immediately reported, "Your Highness, this subordinate found out that the rumors in the palace seemed to have come from the Concubine Xian's palace."
It's actually Consort Xian? It was her? A flash of astonishment appeared in her eyes, but she was probably the only one with the ability to find out in the palace, and the only one who had the guts to spread these rumors.
However, the rumors spread extremely fast in the palace. If he did not stop it, it would bring about a fatal disaster.
Fu Huaiyu dangerously squinted his beautiful eyes, and said a few words with his thin lips. Is it believable? " He needed to confirm the credibility of this matter. If it really was Shen Qingwan, he would need to think about it a little more.
The guard's tone was firm. "Indeed."
"This King knows." Fu Huaiyu stood up with a gloomy face, he had an idea in his mind. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, since the news came from Shen Qingwan's palace, he would cut off all sources.
He did not send anyone to spread the news, but instead went in person.
Fu Huaiyu rushed all the way to Shen Qingwan's courtyard. There was no one who obstructed him along the way since his identity was special.
"Ninth Prince?" Xiao Man had just walked out of the palace gate when she saw the aggressive Fu Huaiyu heading towards his palace. She hurriedly saluted, "Greetings Ninth Prince."
Since he had urgent matters, he could only give a simple "hmm" and walk straight ahead. Xiao Man felt that something was wrong and blocked his path.
Fu Huaiyu usually had a pair of bright and alluring peach blossom eyes, but today he had a serious look, making people feel suspicious.
"Where is Ninth Prince going?" She blocked Fu Huaiyu, raised her eyes and looked at his peach blossom eyes and asked, "How can Ninth Prince enter and leave the imperial harem as he pleases?"
Since he was already at the palace, he did not rush it. He stopped and looked at the woman who stopped him, a faint smile on his face, but there was a trace of contempt in his eyes. "Naturally, I am looking for Concubine Xian."
"Does the Ninth Prince have an imperial decree? It's not a small crime to trespass into the harem. " Xiao Man wasn't afraid of him at all. The little girl in the palace would easily be enchanted by his peach blossom eyes. On the other hand, she was very clear-headed.
The more he acted this way, the more interested he became. He inadvertently smiled and extended his hand, wanting to grab her chin, but she dodged.
The unexpected result made the disdain in his eyes deepen. "Does This King even need to be restrained by you?"
"This place is …"
"Xiao Man." Xiao Man had not even finished speaking when she heard Lian Yun walking out from the palace. She spoke in a serious tone, "Don't be rude."
The two people who were arguing were instantly attracted by the voice. Xiao Man pouted unwillingly after being lectured and stomped her feet in annoyance. However, Fu Huaiyu squinted his eyes, as if he wanted to see clearly what Lian Yun had done.
Lian Yun then walked over step by step, and blessed him: "Greetings Ninth Prince."
Her tone was calm, and she seemed much more magnanimous. Compared to Xiao Man, she was actually more difficult to deal with. Fu Huaiyu pondered, but on the surface he called her up.
"Don't be angry Ninth Prince, the training of the Concubine Xian Palace is strict, and ordinary men are not allowed to enter or leave the palace as they please." Lian Yun's character and Shen Qingwan's were somewhat similar. She had always been calm when doing things, even when facing the Ninth Prince, he had always been calm and composed, "I hope that Ninth Prince can forgive me."
"But …" Xiao Man wanted to explain more, but was stopped by Lian Yun in a low voice.
"Alright, hurry up and go do something."
Xiao Man felt a bit of reluctance in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. She could only give a casual bow before leaving the palace.
Looking at her back as she left, Lian Yun then glanced at Fu Huaiyu once again, the corners of his eyes were suppressed with a sneer, the Empress's foresight was indeed like a god. As soon as he entered the palace, she was certain that her own Empress was right.
If she let him in that easily, it would make him suspicious, so he arranged for the little barbarian to lead the way.
"In the end, Aunt Lian Yun is tactful." The corners of Fu Huaiyu's mouth curled up, but he also felt disdain. To him, these people being respectful to him was only a matter of course.
But Lian Yun did not continue, and the ridicule in her heart became even more intense, "I wonder why Ninth Prince is here?"
"This king has something to talk to Concubine Xian about."
Lian Yun smiled lightly, "Since you have matters to attend to, I will not dare to delay any further. It's just that the Empress is not in the main hall, but in the west wing."
Fu Huaiyu did not suspect her words, and going to the west wing was possible, "I will go find him myself." Today, he had to see Shen Qingwan no matter what. If she dared to spread rumors in the palace, then he must have the courage to bear the price.
Hearing that, the smile on her face became even wider, and it carried a sense of absolute confidence, "This servant will bring Ninth Prince along." With that, she took the lead and led Fu Huaiyu to the west wing's door, "The Empress is inside, this servant will take his leave first."
Fu Huaiyu laughed with satisfaction, this was a man who knew his place. After watching her leave, Fu Huaiyu pushed open the door. What he did not notice was that Lian Yun did not walk far, but had instead listened to his movements from around a corner.
When he walked in, he found that there was a screen that blocked his view. But from the reflection on the screen, it could be seen that it was a woman. She sat there motionlessly, as if she was Shen Qingwan's personality.
She didn't send her palace maids to stop him, but allowed him to enter. Could it be that she already expected him to come to find her today? The more he thought about it, the more his eyebrows creased. Hearing the footsteps outside, the woman behind the screen moved slightly, as if she was tilting her head to identify the person.
Fu Huaiyu did not hide anything and increased his speed. He bypassed the screen and walked over, his mouth raised in a charming manner, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
"Why is it you?" Seeing that the woman sitting upright in front of him was actually Liu Chu Rong, Fu Huaiyu's face became serious, and his body also felt a bit strange.
Hearing this, Liu Chugrong raised her eyes and realized that her face was abnormally flushed. In front of her was a plate of pastries. Her lips were slightly open and her eyes were filled with a hazy desire.
"Prince …" As soon as she said that, she felt that something was wrong. Why did her voice become so hoarse? It even had a trace of charm to it.
"Why is it you instead of Consort Xian?" He gradually realized that something was wrong, so he asked, "Did she ask you to come here?"
How could it be so coincidental? She appeared here, and she herself appeared here. In addition to those rumors in the palace …
His mind felt heavier and heavier, and his thoughts drifted away from him. The fatigue on his body also gradually faded, and a feeling of helplessness forced him to want to continue persevering.
At this moment, Liu Chugrong felt his body getting hotter and hotter. He desperately wanted to get rid of the cold and entangle the man in front of him, but he couldn't stand straight either.
In the end, Fu Huaiyu felt dizzy and powerless as he fell to the ground.
