"Two hundred thousand." He repeated Shen Qingwan's words and felt much older. Two hundred thousand! That was nearly half the army! How could he bear to be handed over like that!

But so what if he couldn't bear to? Waiting for the emperor to come and demand it? Would his family still be able to survive then?

"Are you threatening your father!?" General Shen stood up with a whoosh, his eyes were red, as though he was going to pounce at him in the next second.

It was night. The atmosphere of the palace seemed to be rather unsettled. In the darkness, a conversation could be heard from behind the fake mountain. It seemed to be the voices of a man and a woman.

"Are you sure that Shen Qingwan will be returning to the palace at noon tomorrow?" A sharp female voice rang out, giving people goosebumps.

"Yes, I am sure that the emperor has granted her permission to not return tonight. I also heard that when the Shen Mansion's butler ordered people to buy them, she even prepared lunch tomorrow to come out. That must be before she returns to the palace, without a doubt." The man's deep voice seemed to echo from her throat, hoarse to the point that it was slightly frightening.

"Good!" Since that's the case, bring someone to help me get rid of this little demoness tomorrow! so that she will never appear in the harem again! " "The lady gritted her teeth and ordered, until a low cry was heard." Ugh! What are you doing! "

In order to prevent the guards outside from noticing, she could only lower her voice. However, she did not want to make that person more enthusiastic.

"Since you want me to do something, you should at least give me a taste of your sweetness." The man's aura was clearly unstable, as though he was somewhat anxious.

"Don't act recklessly, hmm ~ this is the palace. If someone discovers us, we won't be able to bear the consequences!" The woman protested coquettishly, "I don't want to lose my wealth."

The man laughed softly. After a while, a figure appeared. It seemed to be a woman, but because it was dark, it was hard to tell her appearance.

Above the Imperial Palace, before anyone could notice, a black shadow flashed through the air and finally landed outside the Imperial Palace.

"Come out with me tomorrow for an errand." After sending down the order, he looked in the direction of the palace and smacked his lips, seeming as if he wanted to continue for the rest of his life.

Fu Yuheng leaned on his bed and thought of that calmness, but he could not fall asleep. Since he had asked her to go back, then if she could not bring back an answer that would satisfy him, he would definitely not let her go.

Perhaps he felt lonely, Fu Yuheng put on his outer robe again and walked outside. When he arrived at Shen Qingwan's courtyard, he gave a slow smile. He thought to himself that he had worked too hard these past few days and turned back.

The night was a little cold and the crescent moon high up in the sky appeared lonely and lonely.

Gradually, as time passed, the crowing of chickens could be heard, and the white color of fish belly began to appear in the east, continuing on from the beginning of the day.

"Forget it, I'll just listen to you!" General Shen's face had a look of exhaustion, his eyes a little empty, his eyes a little purple, indicating that his master had not slept for the night.

"It's good that Father understands." Shen Qingwan's knowing and rational attitude made it impossible for him to get angry. After all, it was for the good of the Shen family that she spoke of it. However, his eyes seemed to be a little narrow-minded.

He asked the steward to prepare the sedan early and wait for him to finish his lunch before leaving.

"Then this old official will not stay in the Concubine Xian any longer." When the father and daughter were alone, they could still be at ease, but there would always be etiquette outside the residence's door, "This subject will respectfully escort Concubine Xian out!"

When he looked up again, he could only see the corners of Shen Qingwan's clothes, she had already entered the palanquin.

"Let's go!" The manservant by the side shouted and did not turn back.

On the palanquin, at a place where no one could see, Shen Qingwan's eyes were filled with tears. How could she not understand her father's feelings? But if she did not, how could she protect him?

She silently held back her tears. She somewhat hated Fu Yuheng, hated his heartlessness, and also hated his helplessness.

If he wasn't the Emperor, he wouldn't have done this, but if it was only if …

Along the way, the road was very flat, making Shen Qingwan feel drowsy.

But by the time they reached the path, the palanquin was beginning to rise and fall.

It was about two kilometers. However, it was unusually quiet at this moment, with only the rustling of leaves and the occasional chirping of birds.

It was unknown if she was too sensitive, but at this moment, she felt increasingly uneasy in her heart.

"Lian Yun, how long until we leave this small pathway?" Shen Qingwan opened the curtain and asked Lian Yun who was outside.

"In reply to Empress, it will take at most an hour. Please calm down." Lian Yun turned her head and replied with a smile.

However, Shen Qing Wan's heart was feeling more and more uneasy. Even after hearing Lian Yun's answer, she still felt that something was going to happen!

"Shua!" Swish! "Swish!"
