Shen Qingwan was stunned. What did he mean?
"Ninth Prince is joking." Shen Qingwan lowered her head, the light in her eyes flickered quickly. She then raised her head and spoke with a bitter smile, "Since I'm the emperor's concubine, how can I leave with you?"
Her already pale face now had a delicate temperament that made people feel pity, like a butterfly with wings on its back, and her heart trembled slightly.
Fu Huaiyu obviously did not expect her to look like this, and he actually calmed down for a moment. Only, the emotions in his eyes slightly changed.
But after a moment, he shook his head. How could such a stubborn girl give him such weak thoughts?
"It's better if you go back. After all, this place has been imprisoned by the Emperor. I'm afraid that before long, the guards outside will feel that something is amiss." In Fu Huaiyu's eyes, it was undoubtedly because he felt that this woman had already lost all trust in the emperor, to the point where he felt that this woman could be used even more.
"Then think about it first. If you figure it out one day, come find This King again." The smile in her eyes became even wider, as if she wanted to swallow the person in front of her.
Shen Qingwan raised her head, her heart quivering just as she met her eyes. After a moment of absent-mindedness, she immediately lowered her head, "Then Ninth Prince can go back and rest, I won't send you off." Her voice became a little softer. This was very different from her usual self.
Fu Huaiyu glanced at her, who was sitting on the bedside, and started to size her up. This woman didn't seem to be so tough today, as he stroked her chin, she finally turned and left.
Avoiding the sight of his surroundings, he returned to his own residence.
"Your highness, have you obtained anything?" Mo Zilian was already waiting inside the house. He had just came back from outside and was still covered in dust.
"Hai." Ye Zichen let out a sigh, but there was no worry in his eyes. But she didn't answer his question. Instead, she changed the topic and asked, "What about you? But did you get anything? "
Mo Zilian shook his head, "Not yet, but I already have some clues." Although he was smiling on the surface, there was a deep look in the depths of his eyes. Things were not as simple as he had imagined.
"Oh?" Fu Huaiyu laughed. It seemed that even his most capable subordinates were stumped, and it looks like he had met with a thorny problem. The smile on his face became even darker.
Seeing his expression, Mo Zilian knew that he had to take care of this matter personally.
"In the next few days, you should stay here and help me monitor the movements of the person in the palace." He was talking about Fu Yuheng here. It wouldn't be long before there was a good show to see.
"Yes, yes, yes. This subordinate will take a good look at the palace. Those two …" He intentionally threw a flirtatious glance at her. A man who had grown up threw her a flirtatious glance but did not feel the slightest bit out of place. However, there was an additional sense of teasing.
He was talking about two people, and the other one, needless to say, knew, was Shen Qingwan.
Fu Huaiyu rolled his eyes at him, but he turned and went back into the house, and when he came out again, he had already changed into a new set of clothes, and his expression was extremely serious.
"Let's go."
With that, he left the house, and Mo Zilian's mission in the past few days was to properly play the role of a duke, and to help monitor the situation as well.
Within the throne room, Fu Yuheng looked at the imperial report in his hand with a grim expression. Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the bright yellow table. He shook the mantelpiece on his head a few times and then pinched the bridge of his nose.
In recent years, the imperial government had always been peaceful, but this time, there were many riots occurring. Furthermore, they were not the same place. However, in some areas, he had already sent people to suppress them and repel the enemy troops. But there were other places in turmoil, and the situation was getting worse and worse, to the point where it was almost uncontrollable.
"Your Majesty, calm down." When the Sun Gonggong beside him heard him, he became alarmed. He quickly poured tea for him.
Fu Yuheng frowned and shook his head in refusal. With the border riots, not only the citizens were suffering, but also the stability of the country. Once the enemy attacked the capital, the world would probably change hands.
"What do you think of this, my liege?"
As the ruler of a dynasty, how could he be at ease? He opened his eyes and looked at the ministers below him, feeling a surge of irritation in his heart.
"Shen Aimin." He spoke with a heavy tone. It seemed that this matter still needed him! What happened at the wrong time.
"This lowly general is here." When General Shen heard the emperor's words, he kneeled down and kowtowed heavily. He stood up and kneeled down extremely straight, as if he was standing on a battlefield.
"Right now, the borders are in chaos. If we don't destroy them soon, I'm afraid …" He didn't need to say anything else. General Shen was a person of the army. The General Shen who was more familiar with the borders naturally understood what the Emperor meant. At this moment, he could only step forward as Shen Qing Wan was still in danger.
The General Shen didn't speak anymore. He just watched silently as the emperor wrote the imperial edict down and passed it to the Sun Gonggong beside him.
"General Shen accepts the decree." When the ear-piercing sound reached his ears, he knelt down once more. Even if he wanted to stand back, how could he do so?
"This lowly general is here."
"According to the wishes of the heavens, the emperor decreed: In recent days, the thieves have caused chaos and disturbed the borders. I think that the General Shen has dominated the battlefield for many years, and they are invincible. I have sent a special order to clear the area of pirates, to return peace to the imperial court, and to set off immediately. "Here it is."
"General's decree." With another kowtow, the General Shen accepted the decree. Then, he glanced at the emperor who was sitting on the throne, turned around and left.
Fu Yuheng watched him leave and did not want to stay any longer. He moved to the study room.
As he thought about the border riot, he felt depressed. Since Shen Qing Wan's matter had not been clarified and the General Shen was sent out, someone might use this opportunity to do something.
"Sun Gonggong, tell me, did we do something wrong? If she wasn't allowed to enter the palace that day …" He sighed and his expression became sad.
Perhaps it was really his fault, but so what if that woman, ah, really made his heart a little confused?
"Your Majesty, don't say that." Sun Ning was a little disappointed and frustrated for a moment. He naturally knew what he was thinking, but he couldn't be blamed this time.
"Whatever, you can leave now. I will be by myself for a moment." When he closed his eyes, Shen Qingwan's image appeared in his mind once again. Especially that day, her body was covered with wounds, and that stubborn yet cold face of hers made him angry.
"Shen Qingwan, ah, Shen Qingwan, what is your relationship with my Ninth Brother?"
