"This …" Shen Qingwan was a little surprised, she did not expect him to find out.
General Shen frowned. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward, "You came with me to the study room. I have something to ask you." After saying that, he pulled her forward without a care.
Shen Qing Wan was a little confused for a moment. Now that the matter with Fu Huaiyu was over, plus he did not have many matters to take care of, what did he have to ask her?
He walked in his direction until he reached the study.
"The wounds you had on your body a few days ago should have almost healed by now, right?" The moment she opened her mouth, she was stunned.
Could it be that he already knew about her assassination a few days ago? But why did he not ask her that time, and only now did he remember? However, if that was not the case, there were no other injuries on her body. "Yes." However, she still indifferently agreed. The injuries on her body had indeed mostly healed. This could not be faked.
"That's good." The General Shen nodded, but his expression did not show it, causing her to panic a little, but he heard him continue to speak: "Do you know that I am your father?" At this time, his face suddenly turned serious, and as his voice fell, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble.
Shen Qing Wan suddenly raised her head and stared at him, she did not know what to think, but she still nodded her head.
"Since that's the case, why must you hide everything from your husband?" Sighing slightly, his face softened once more. He didn't blame her in the slightest, but seeing how strong he was, his father's heart ached for him.
"Your daughter has been inconsiderate …" She opened her mouth, but her eyes were slightly bloodshot. Until now, she understood that her father was just worried about her.
He reached out and grabbed her wrist, allowing her to sit next to him. "Be honest with me, father. Have you been safe in the palace recently?" The wrinkles on the back of his eyes scrunched together, giving off the impression that he was a bit older than he was before.
She opened her mouth, but in the end, she did not say anything. Her eyes dimmed.
Is it safe? Logically speaking, as one of the fourth concubines, she should have been safe, but in reality, she was in grave danger. Not only did he have to consider the threat from the harem, he also had to be vigilant of any upheaval. This concubine of hers was about to be busier than the Emperor.
Seeing her act this way, the General Shen had already guessed the answer, but he could only helplessly say, "You have to be careful with the empress. A woman who doesn't have any background to rely on, being able to reach the empress's position, is definitely not an easy thing to do." When he thought about how he heard the servant come to report a few days ago, he still voiced the worries in his heart in the end.
"Daughter will be careful." How could she not know that Xiao Shushen was not as simple as she looked? It was just that she did not want to provoke him and did not want to bother about him.
"Have you thought that the assassin might be the empress's man?" With these words, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became solemn, mixed with a sense of heaviness.
"Empress …" Speaking of which, she really did not think that Xiao Shushen was the culprit for this test. After all, she did not provoke her during this period of time, and logically speaking, she should not have been so reckless. But hearing General Shen mention it now, she had no choice but to reconsider.
"Ai, foolish child …" General Shen patted her shoulder with a helpless look in his eyes. "Do you know that not everyone has their own difficulties in this world? There are always people who would sacrifice a lot of innocent people for their own path?"
"This …" His words made her suck in a deep breath. Her eyes flashed. Although she was more knowledgeable than most women, she was after all, a woman. Moreover, she had been born in the General's Estate.
"Forget it, you can slowly experience this yourself." Seeing her confused look, he said no more and changed the topic, "Where did the stench of blood on you come from? I know it's not your own wounds. "
"I just bandaged an old friend's wound. Does father know what kind of a villa exists in this world?" After not knowing his identity for a long time, she also wanted to try her luck and see if her father knew anything.
Sure enough, the General Shen nodded his head, "I do know a little. Among them, the most famous is Mo You Manor, and the Villa Master always wears a white robe and is the most famous."
"Does father know his name?" Her breathing quickened, but she suppressed the excitement in her heart.
Is it him?
"One word, one power."
Shen Qingwan's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe it. She had originally been curious about his identity, but now that she asked her about it so easily, she found it hard to accept. But in the end, she still nodded, "Daughter is a bit tired, I'll go rest first."
After she left, General Shen immediately sat down.
Was it the best choice to send her to the palace?
Inside the palace's raccoon room, two small palace maids were whispering to each other. Autumn Water had coincidentally come to get Li Ruotong some laundry that had been washed, and seeing this, she was a little curious, so she also went over.
"What are you guys talking about? Why are you guys chatting so happily?"
When the two palace maids saw her, they were startled. However, when they saw that she did not have any intention of berating her, they were no longer on guard. Thus, they relayed what they had just discussed in detail.
"We told you that you're not allowed to tell anyone else. Otherwise, you'll lose your life." After she finished speaking, the little palace maid was still a bit worried, so he specifically instructed the maidservant.
Qiu Shui suppressed the shock in her heart and hurriedly left after answering.
"Empress, Empress!"
Qiushui anxiously ran in, Li Ruotong grabbed her arm, "What's wrong, why are you in such a hurry?" She was just thinking that Lin Feng's birthday was coming up and what kind of presents he should give when his thoughts were interrupted by her, causing her eyebrows to furrow almost imperceptibly.
"Niangniang, this servant just heard from the other palace maids that before Ninth Prince was captured, they were actually involved with the Second Young Miss of the Liu Manor!" She had a mysterious look on her face.
However, to Li Ruotong, she was already a dead person, so she did not think much of it, "So what?"
"Huh?" Qiushui blinked her eyes, confused. That seemed to be the case too! He was already a dead man, what was there to talk about? Thinking of this, he lowered his head bitterly.
However, he suddenly felt a pain in his head, "Aiyo!" Clutching her head, she looked at Li Ruotong with dissatisfaction. But when she saw him laughing happily, she could only mutter with dissatisfaction, "The Empress is the worst."
