"No, that's not it. Why would the emperor care so much about it?" If the world were to fall into his hands, I am afraid that blood would flow like a river within the palace. " Shen Qing Wan shook her head. If Fu Huaiyu were to obtain this world, none of them would be able to survive, and with his ambitions, the entire continent would probably be wiped out.
Moreover, when she framed those two earlier, he also didn't blame her.
Hearing this, Fu Yuheng revealed a hint of smile, but then, as if he thought of something, he embraced her in an instant. He could not help but exclaim in admiration, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank my beloved concubine for her scheme. We've already discovered the clues early on and stopped them from moving. Otherwise, we still don't know how we would have ended up like this in the future. "
From the moment they found out that Fu Huaiyu had other plans to capture and prevent a prison break, it could be said that most of the credit went to her.
"Your Majesty is flattering me. Chenqie only wants to help Your Majesty out a little." Shen Qingwan raised her head slightly. As she lowered her head, the spot where her neck was temporarily white caused one to involuntarily stare foolishly.
Yet in his delight she was not as pleased as she looked. Fu Huaiyu had been beheaded, but she felt that she was missing something, but she couldn't say what it was.
"Alright, Fu Huaiyu's problem has been settled. The big rock in my heart can be considered to have landed on the ground. The bamboo hat day is the Liu Estate. This Prime Minister Liu actually dares to think like this behind our backs. This is truly outrageous! "
From the moment Shen Qingwan had entered the palace, Liu Chugrong had used his position as the imperial concubine to bully her. It was not that he didn't know, but because of Liu Chugrong's status and the power of the Prime Minister Liu, he couldn't act rashly.
But now it was different, the two big problems were about to be eliminated. He was very happy, and he believed that Shen Qingwan was also feeling the same way. Thus, on the morning of the next day, Liu Ming went to the imperial court in a good mood. The Liu Estate was also on the verge of destruction.
"Congratulations, sister." Of course, everyone in the palace knew about the Liu Family being extorted. The concubines who had been bullied by Liu Xiangrong seemed to be gloating. The usually arrogant and domineering Liu Chugrong didn't have any chance to turn the situation around.
Even Zhao Yuanrong, who usually didn't like going out, couldn't help but to go and report to Shen Qing Wan. If he didn't try to please her now, how long would it take?
"What is elder sister saying?" Shen Qingwan did not quite understand what she meant as she opened her mouth to ask curiously. Her confused appearance seemed to have more of a cuteness to it compared to her cold appearance.
When Zhao Yuanrong saw this, his heart skipped a beat. No wonder Fu Yuheng doted on her so much. She was actually different from those jealous women in the harem. This was something even the empress could not compare to.
"Sister should know that the entire Liu Manor was executed by the Emperor. This time, Liu Chugrong would never have the chance to be arrogant again. I'm afraid she will go to hell. Just thinking about it will vent her anger. Zhao Yuanrong said with a proud look, "Then no one can stop my sister." As he said that, he couldn't help but congratulate her.
When Shen Qingwan heard this, she did not say anything. She didn't think so. After all, she had never had the intention to be pampered. This harem was not enough to confine her mind.
After Fu Huaiyu was beheaded, Fu Yuheng still felt that he should go to the Fashan Temple to have a look. After all, the empress dowager was the empress dowager.
"Get ready, we are going to the Fashan Temple." He lowered his head and read the imperial reports earnestly, without even lifting his head, he instructed Sun Ning to prepare.
Sun Ning carefully raised his head and observed him for a moment, then revealed a faint smile on his face, "This servant will go prepare now."
He only brought Sun Ning and a few guards with him when he went to the Fashan Temple this time. It would inevitably attract the attention of the people if he called on too many people, so he did not want the matters of the family to be known by the whole world.
Shen Qingwan only furrowed her brows in worry when she heard of this. He must have put down his face to make up with the empress dowager, but how could the empress dowager let it go so easily? She didn't know why, but there was a trace of anxiety in her heart. Even though she knew that he would crash into the south wall and return, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.
The journey to Fashan Temple wasn't very far, it only took him half a day to reach there. The Fashan Temple could be considered a imperial temple, so there weren't many people here. This made Fu Yuheng feel a lot more at ease. If it wasn't a place where fish and dragons were mixed together, then there would be another layer of safety.
As soon as he arrived at Fashan Temple, he brought the monks to pay his respects, "This old monk greets the Emperor."
As a clan member, he was free to kneel and not pay his respects. Fu Yuheng frowned majestically as he cast a sidelong glance, then nodded slightly with his chin. "Please excuse me."
"I didn't know that Your Majesty would come, and I'm unable to welcome you. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me."
"There's no need to make such a big fuss, Zhen is only here to see the empress dowager." His voice was steady and strong and commanding.
Hearing this, the empress's eyes shifted before returning to normal. "The empress dowager is fine here."
Everything okay? It's not good to be in the palace, though? The wrinkles on her forehead deepened, and her lips pursed slightly. Her voice grew even colder. "Where is the empress dowager? Zhen will go take a look personally." The reason why she came today was not just to hear whether she was good or not.
With that, Fu Yuheng lifted his leg and prepared to leave, but he was stopped by the host. He looked at Fu Yuheng with slight anger and confusion before lowering his body.
"What do you mean by 'host'?"
"Please forgive this old woman for speaking bluntly. The empress dowager has been in a bad mood recently, and even more so, no one is allowed to disturb her. She says that she's not seeing anyone."
Fu Yuheng smiled coldly as his eyes turned sinister. "I can't bear to see it either?"
The host lowered his head again to express his thoughts. When he saw Fu Yuheng unconsciously tighten his dragon robe and stare coldly at Fashan Temple for a moment, he finally flung his sleeves and left. He was an emperor, yet he was being treated so coldly! He mounted the horse and returned to the palace.
Hearing the gradually fading sounds of horse hooves outside, Wu mama sighed helplessly. "Empress Dowager, is it really alright for you and the emperor to be in a stalemate?"
The empress dowager who was dressed in gray stared blankly out of the window. Upon hearing that Fu Huaiyu had been beheaded, her heart ached. Although they didn't interact often, it was still a piece of meat that had been cut off from her body. How could she not be angry with the emperor so easily?
"The Emperor is the ruler of a nation. Now that he has personally come to the Fashan Temple, it means that he wishes to express his goodwill towards the empress dowager …" The Wu mama didn't finish her sentence. How could she not know what kind of astute person the empress dowager was?
"My son's bones have not turned cold yet, I can't face him in peace."
Hearing that, the Wu mama did not say anything else and just let her sit in the room alone.
