Shen Qingwan sat on the beauties' couch in the room, her hands holding onto a book on military strategies as she calmly read through it. Beside her stood a stick of incense. The incense was almost burnt to the end.
Lian Yun carried some tea in, poured her a cup and handed it over, "Empress, drink some tea."
Her gaze did not leave the book, and only slightly tilted her head to take the teacup from Lian Yun's hands, before putting the book down.
Lian Yun could not help but laugh, "The moment Empress read the book, she forgot the time." There was a hint of warning in her tone. Hearing that, Shen Qingwan could only raise her eyebrows noncommittally. Time was indeed very important, how could she forget about it?
He turned around and glanced at the incense that was about to burn up. The corner of his mouth slowly curled up into a beautiful smile. Following her gaze, Lian Yun also looked over, a crafty look flashing past his eyes.
She looked away and daintily touched the top of her teacup to the tea floating on the surface of the water. She took a sip. He could not help but exclaim, "The taste of the Silver Needles of Junshan is indeed excellent." This was the Silver Needle of Jun Shan mentioned by the Emperor last time. She didn't drink it often when it was delivered to the palace, but today she felt it was very sweet and delicious.
He only took a sip before placing it on the side of the table. He then got up leisurely. "Let's go. It's time to put away the net." There was a smile on his face and a hint of determination to win. He had planned for a few days, and it was about time for him to see the results.
Lian Yun followed behind her and went straight to the west wing, gently pushing open the door but there was no movement. She walked in step by step, and the clothes of the man and woman on the ground were all messed up.
Gradually, Shen Qingwan sped up her footsteps and moved to the position of the bed in the room. The hibiscus tent was warm, the muslin cloth was fluttering, and the two bodies in the room stuck together like that, accompanied by the breathing of the woman, caused Lian Yun's face to unconsciously turn red.
"You all … "You guys …" Shen Qingwan's eyes opened wide in shock, disbelief was written all over her face and eyes.
In this ambiguous atmosphere, her frightened voice sounded extremely strange, instantly startling the two people on the bed. Fu Huaiyu's strength had also gradually recovered, but his mind was still a little dizzy. He immediately got off Liu Yu Rong's body out of fear.
"How could you guys …" Shen Qingwan was shocked as she covered her mouth, but her voice became louder, enough for everyone around to hear.
"Ninth Prince and Imperial Consort Liu … You are actually doing such a thing! " Lian Yun also started to shout loudly.
The two people on the bed woke up in a flash. Only then did Fu Huaiyu realize that his clothes were completely faded and he was together with Liu Xiurong. Furthermore, the feeling coming from his body had already told him what had just happened.
He thought to himself, "Oh no, why would I be by her side?" Liu Xiurong was waiting furiously for him. Her face was red, and there were vague marks on her neck. She was also staring at him in fear.
How could this be?
Neither of them noticed the smile on Shen Qingwan's face, which was replaced by a stern expression.
"How dare you mess with the palace! This is a capital offense! " Shen Qing Wan coldly stared at the two of them, and then turned to Lian Yun and said: "Go and ask the Emperor to come."
Upon hearing "Your Majesty", Liu Chu Rong immediately panicked. His face became pale as he looked at Lian Yun's retreating back, "Don't spout nonsense!"
"Imperial Consort Liu should first take a good look at the good deeds he has done before making excuses." She condescendingly glanced at him with contempt and disdain in her eyes.
"You did it!" Fu Huaiyu had already come to his senses a long time ago, why would he be here? How could Liu Chugrong appear? All of this was a conspiracy of hers!
Shen Qing Wan smiled, but her eyes were cold. "Ninth Prince is joking, what can I do? Could it be that I was the one who tied you to the bed? "
"You!" Astonished at her sharp tongue, he was momentarily at a loss for words to refute.
Seeing this, her smile became even more radiant. Turning around, the couple truly made her feel uncomfortable. When she saw that scene just now, she felt it. After all …
"The two of you should think carefully about how to explain the Emperor coming here." Perhaps Fu Yuheng might have ignored the previous matter, but the matter today had truly tarnished his reputation. It was unknown whether or not he would be blamed.
News of this spread within the palace very quickly. Fu Yuheng knew this and quickly rushed over with a gloomy face.
"Chenqie will take part in the imperial palace." Shen Qingwan didn't expect that he would come so quickly. She even carefully measured his expression as she bowed.
Seeing the two's disheveled appearance, his handsome face looked even more severe. His pair of black eyes narrowed slightly, and the stifling atmosphere grew even more oppressive because of his arrival.
The two greeted each other in a low voice, while Liu Chugrong buried his face in his.
"My good imperial concubine and my good little brother!" His voice was filled with endless darkness and coldness, causing people to not dare to say a single word. "What is going on?!"
Hearing that, Lian Yun immediately knelt down, "Your majesty, it is this servant's fault." "Ninth Prince came to the palace to talk to Concubine Xian about something important, and this servant accidentally brought you to the west wing. Afterwards, when this servant went to the east wing and found out that the Empress was there, I felt that something was wrong and immediately brought the Empress to the west wing, but I didn't expect that …" As she spoke, her voice became softer and softer. "I didn't expect to see this scene …"
Lian Yun's explanation only explained why the Ninth Prince appeared in the west wing, but five people knew how they rolled onto the bed with Liu Chugrong.
"Your Majesty, we cannot entirely blame Lian Yun at this time. She had merely brought the wrong side of the house, so why would the Imperial Consort Liu and the Imperial Consort Liu … "No one knows." Just as Lian Yun finished speaking, Shen Qingwan started to plead for her.
Fu Huaiyu's heart was already on fire from anger, he did not expect this woman to have this ability!
Liu Chugrong also understood that this was definitely not a coincidence. "Your Majesty, chenqie was wronged, but chenqie didn't know! Someone is trying to harm chenqie! Your Majesty, do you believe in chenqie … "
"framing? How do you want to frame it? " Fu Yuheng's eyes turned increasingly cold, causing her body to involuntarily shudder.
"Your majesty, all of this is Shen Qingwan's scheme, it has nothing to do with chenqie. Chenqie and Ninth Prince don't have anything to do with each other, they were framed!"
Clutching the corner of his shirt tightly, Liu Chugrong was panicking. If he didn't explain it clearly, it would be a dead end for him!
"Imperial Consort Liu, this is a frame-up, right? I don't even know what happened in the east wing, how did I come to frame you? " Shen Qing Wan pretended to be wronged and frowned, "Furthermore, this is my palace. If I were to frame you, I wouldn't sully my own place!"
"You bitch!" Liu Chu Rong started to curse, she was already trembling from fear, but when Fu Huaiyu saw her expression, his expression darkened, she was truly a foolish woman.
