What was wrong with the Empress? The emperor had obviously bestowed her quite a bit today, and even the empress had given her a hairpin. Why was she still sighing now? Lian Yun was naturally puzzled.
Shen Qingwan looked at the brocade box beside her, smiling bitterly.
But what could she do? No matter what, she couldn't avoid coercion. As a member of the Shen family, she couldn't just leave the Shen family be. Moreover, she still needed to consider the words that the emperor said to her a few days ago. She wanted to know what he meant by saying that her father forced her to do so.
"Here!" Lian Yun lowered her head and retreated. When she turned around, he did not see a single tear fall from the corner of Shen Qingwan's eyes.
How many people would go to the harem in order to be rich and powerful? And how many people would be trapped in this cage because of this? Was it worth it?
Not long later, Lian Yun returned with the zither. Empress, here is your zither. "
Speaking of which, Shen Qingwan's zither arts weren't particularly good either, but she had learnt some, and she could even play one or two of the melody songs.
At this moment, there was a melodious zither song in the courtyard, causing the entire atmosphere to become quiet and gentle. Like her, she was indifferent and incorruptible.
It was exactly because she hadn't entered this harem before. Was she now with someone she loved, respectful and without so much trouble?
He sighed sorrowfully, and even the sound of the zither started to wail as well.
Fu Yuheng could no longer hold on to the paper money as he stood up and left the hall. Just as Sun Gonggong wanted to follow, he saw Yue Yang raise his hand, signalling him to leave.
When Fu Yuheng arrived at the front of Shen Qingwan's courtyard, he could hear the sound of a zither coming from the courtyard. So it turned out that she also had his own troubles. So it turned out that she also had his own grudges.
He raised his hand to knock on the gate, but in the end, he stopped and turned around to leave.
Shen Qingwan who was inside did not notice. After the song, she went back to her room.
The next morning, when he woke up, he felt extremely exhausted, and it was difficult for him to lift his eyelids. He rubbed his split head and opened his mouth, only to find that his voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Lian Yun, help me pour some water."
Hearing that, Lian Yun rushed in from the outside and poured water. Seeing her pale face, she became anxious. Could it be that she caught a cold last night?
"Empress, why is your face so pale? Could it be that you've suffered from a cold?" Please take a rest, this servant will call the imperial physician over! " After tucking her in, Lian Yun ran out.
As soon as he walked out of the yard, he ran into La Mei that he had bought for Liu Chugrong. In a panic, the two crashed into each other.
"Ah, don't you even have eyes? Can't you see that there's someone here? " The clothes in La Mei's hands fell to the ground. There was a cry of surprise followed by a scolding. She was someone with the imperial concubine, so most female servants would avoid her. But now that she had been hit, they were naturally unwilling to accept it.
Lian Yun quickly apologized. She was in a hurry to find Shen Qingwan's doctor, she couldn't waste too much time here.
When La Mei looked up, she realized that it was Lian Yun who was standing next to Shen Qingwan. She thought to herself, "Oh, aren't they people from Concubine Xian's side? Why are you so flustered? What do you have to do? "
Seeing this, it was obvious that there was some urgent matter at hand. This was a good opportunity.
"My imperial concubine is sick, I have to hurry and get an imperial physician." Sorry to trouble you, big sister Lamei, but forgive me this time. " Lian Yun knew that she was someone close to Liu Chugrong, so he didn't want to pester her too much.
"But how could she possibly let him leave so easily?" "That won't do. It must be known that our Empress specially ordered all of these clothes. Now that you've fallen on the ground and are blaming me for this, how am I supposed to report this to the Empress when the time comes?"
Lian Yun was extremely anxious, she did not know what to do. It was true that she had bumped into her, but the Empress was still waiting for her to bring the imperial physician back. Sister Lamei, I really need to hurry back, but can I come back and find you after calling you? "
Helpless, she could only lower her head. However, Lamei still refused to let go. Even after being pushed a few times, Lian Yun still fell to the ground.
"Impudent!" What are you all doing!? " A dignified voice sounded from behind the two of them. The moment they turned their heads, the two of them hurriedly kneeled on the ground.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Lamei thought to himself, this is bad. How could I have met the Emperor at this time? Thinking of this, his face turned pale.
"Do you all know the rules of the palace?" Fu Yuheng was clearly angry, but when he saw that one of them was actually the girl beside Shen Qingwan, he became slightly puzzled. "Speak, what happened?"
When Lian Yun heard this, it was as if she had received an amnesty. She was no longer hesitant about angering Long Wei. "Your majesty, please save my esteemed mistress!"
As expected, Fu Yuheng's expression immediately changed the moment those words left his mouth.
Shen Qingwan? What happened to her?
Perhaps it was because of that night, or perhaps it was because she was his concubine.
Ignoring the two kneeling on the ground, they walked towards Shen Qingwan's yard in a few steps. Even the guards outside were shocked.
What kind of great event had happened for the emperor to be so anxious?
Pushing open Shen Qingwan's door, she saw the person lying on the bed had a pale face, but her entire body was emitting heat.
