C255 Consort Xian's Return

"I believe that she will be returning today. However, if she is not, then …" She had clearly seen the calculations in Hua Xiangwei's eyes, but she had only lowered her head, and her lips moved slightly.

Stabbing? If he could do it, he wouldn't have to wait until now.

"But what's wrong?" Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, she started to hesitate.

"Little sister, it's better not to waste any more time. Just calmly wait for a few more days." His fingers exerted more strength, and the wooden hairpin in his hand was broken into two, just like that. With a loud 'pa' sound, it was cut into two halves.

"Elder sister, do you have any good ideas?" Hua Xiangwei immediately asked with a fawning smile on her face.

However, Xiao Shushen shook her head, "Just you wait, little sister."

At this time, Sun Ning's palanquin had already reached the General Shen Palace. Shen Qingwan bid her farewells to the General Shen, and then left with Sun Ning.

Passing through the familiar streets, he couldn't help but think back to the past. Especially when he had walked with Fu Huaiyu at that time, Young Master Wandering had now become the person who had plotted to kill him. One had to say, the world was unpredictable.

"Phew!" Suddenly, she heard some noises coming from outside. Shen Qing Wan opened the curtain and looked out, only to see a woman lying in the middle of the street. She seemed to have fainted, and pointed with her delicate hand, "Go and take a look over there." There was a carriage in front of the woman, which seemed to belong to a noble family. The woman's body was in tatters, and if the person on the carriage didn't listen to reason, then he would be bullied for nothing.

Although she wasn't a kind-hearted person, she did feel touched today and was willing to help out.

"Where did these beggars come from? Are they blind?" A manservant got out of the car and shouted at the people on the ground, "What bad luck!" As he spoke, he waved his hand as if he was extremely disdainful.

"I wonder whose honored guest he is?" Shen Qing Wan got down from the sedan chair and walked over, staring at him with slight anger.

"And who are you? "Isn't this woman just sitting in her room waiting for her husband and coming over here to meddle in other people's business?" The servant saw that she was only a girl and didn't have any precious jewelry with her. He might have thought that she was a woman from an ordinary family, "Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to stand up to the people in this carriage! It's better if we hurry back! " With that, he waved his hand as if he was shooing away flies.

This action made Shen Qingwan even more unhappy, "Oh? "Why don't you tell me about it?" In the capital, she really didn't know who she couldn't climb up to.

"Humph!" The servant raised his neck, looking somewhat haughty: "Inside here is the great nephew of the Vice Minister Li!" The Vice Minister Li here was referring to Li Yuhang.

"So, I know. I would have told this to the Emperor." She sneered, and the words that came out of her mouth were extremely cold.

All of a sudden, the surroundings became noisy. Everyone was trying to guess who this woman was. He could actually speak to the Emperor.

"You! Stop talking nonsense! Just with you, I'm afraid you won't even be able to touch the hairs on the emperor's body. " That manservant immediately became a bit anxious. Although he felt that it was impossible for her to really see the emperor, he was truly startled.

Shen Qing Wan didn't pay any more attention to him and turned to help the girl on the ground. But when she saw her face, she was shocked.

There was actually a large scar on her face. It seemed to be scalded, but her face was covered with half of it, making her look horrifying.

"Whose girl is this?" She could not help but mutter to herself. Although she had some sympathy in her heart, it was only for a moment. Even so, she should have her own life.

"Bring this person back and clean him up." She turned and commanded Sun Ning who was behind her.

When the attendant saw her leave, he said with an angry expression, "How ridiculous." After muttering to himself, he got back into the carriage.

After a cloud of smoke and dust passed, it returned to its usual tranquility.

"Empress." Lian Yun frowned, looking at the person she brought, she was puzzled, where did this woman come from? Why was he by her side? Since it was her decision, it wouldn't be good for her to interfere as a servant. Besides, it was more important to go back to work now, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Paying respects to Concubine Xian, the Empress is thousands of years old, thousands of years old." After entering the palace, the woman also woke up. After knowing her identity, she directly knelt on the ground and gave a grand bow as she looked at her with gratitude.

"What's your name?" Shen Qingwan helped her up, looking at her dressing with dissatisfaction.

"In reply to Empress, this humble one has been left all alone since childhood, and only has the name of 'Qing`er'." The woman shook her head with a bitter expression on her face.

Shen Qingwan was startled, but felt relieved. After all, the poor did not have a proper name, "Fine, if you do not mind, how about I give you a name?" Thus, he also suggested it.

The woman knelt to the ground once more. "Thank you for your grace, esteemed Empress!"

"Then call you Qing Ling." After thinking about it for a moment, she decided to keep her previous name.

Qing Ling only expressed her gratitude towards her, so Shen Qing Wan let Lian Yun take her to wash up.

"I heard that the concubine brought back a woman?" At this moment, Fu Yuheng walked in from outside with a slight smile on his face. "Do you know the background of that woman?"

After all, he was the one who was staying with him, so it was better to be safe. This kind of unknown woman was not allowed to stay in the imperial palace. However, if she brought her here, she could just send someone to keep an eye on her.

"Never." She also knew that he was worried about something. Originally, she had also thought about this matter, but every time she saw the scar on her face, she couldn't bear to leave her behind. In the end, it was just her heart that was moved.

"Be careful when you're in love with your concubine. Don't be careless and get plotted against." Fu Yuheng held her in his arms and breathed in her ear.

Her whole body couldn't help but tremble as she subconsciously pushed him away. At the same time, she heard joyful laughter beside her ear.

She turned her head to look at him in surprise, only to see him looking at her flirtatiously, causing her to blush all of a sudden.

"Is the emperor looking for chenqie for something?" Following that, she changed the topic. Unexpectedly, his next words made her face turn even redder.

"No." He used his hand to support his cheeks as he stared at her. "I was just thinking of my beloved concubine, so I came to take a look."

"This …" All of a sudden, she didn't know what to say, so she simply clenched her teeth and asked, "Then does the emperor have a good impression of her?" Then, she glared at him angrily.

"Mm …" He frowned and was silent for a moment. "Not yet."
