C84 cynicism

Fu Yuheng was no longer in the mood to continue reading the imperial reports. He originally wanted to take a look at the weather and relax. However, before he knew it, he had already walked out of Shen Qingwan's chamber. Glimmers danced in his eyes as a myriad of emotions surged in his heart.

"Your Majesty …" However, seeing their master's current state, they were very worried. After all, they should have shared the worries of their master, but now, they were unable to do anything about it. "If your heart is unable to let it go, it's better for your majesty to go see the Empress …"

"Forget it, let's return to the royal study."

The sunny weather outside the window made the palace more lively. Waves of melodious bird calls caused Shen Qingwan to be slightly lost in thought.

It was still a dream after all, and he was rather envious of the free bird. Although he did not know the future, he still had his own world.

"Greetings to esteemed empress …" With the support of his palace maids, Xiao Shushen arrived at Shen Qingwan's sleeping quarters.

"Esteemed empress, the … the emperor ordered …" The imperial guards looked somewhat embarrassed, but the person in front of them was not someone he could afford to hold back.

"How dare you!" The palace maid behind him stared, but was stopped by Xiao Shushen, "Why are you being so rude, why aren't you retreating!" With a gentle and cold shout, the palace maid couldn't help but tremble. "Yes, esteemed empress."

Xiao Shushen's phoenix eyes slightly turned as she softly said: "I, too, know that everyone is in a difficult situation, but now that my younger sister is in this state, I am deeply moved in my heart. If it really becomes difficult, I will no longer disturb you." Her tone was tactful, completely showing the magnanimity a mother possessed, and causing the imperial guards to feel flattered.

"Thank you for your understanding, Esteemed Empress. Esteemed Empress is a kind-hearted and benevolent person, so we took a risk today. Esteemed Empress, please come in. Only …" The imperial guards on both sides looked at each other.

"I understand. I definitely won't make it difficult for you two. I just want to talk to my sister …" Xiao Shushen seemed to be very considerate, the imperial guards praised him in their hearts. They took a detour to the side to facilitate the Empress's entry.

The palace maids behind him gently pushed the door open. Xiao Shushen waved his hands and had the little palace maids wait outside.

"Empress …" "But …"

Seeing the worry in the palace maid's eyes, Xiao Shushen smiled and said: "It's fine."

Looking over, he was sitting beside a stone table dressed in plain clothes, with a zither in his hands. He did not play the zither, but with his current indifferent attitude, it was obvious that Shen Qingwan was a little dignified. Xiao Shushen narrowed her phoenix eyes. So what if she was beautiful, she was just a prisoner!

"Heh, big sister is actually envious of little sister. Being able to be so relaxed and carefree, I think only little sister can think of such blessings!" The Queen smirked, but to Shen Qingwan, she was just a pitiful person who was blinded by jealousy.

"I never would have thought that my little sister's current state would not even have any form of courtesy left. Oh, big sister, now that I think about it, my little sister is someone who can even kill princesses, why would I care about all this!" He was a queen himself, but he didn't have the slightest bit of respect for her. She was clearly a murderer, yet she was able to obtain the favor of Fu Yuheng. She was even willing to offend the entire imperial court's civil and military officials for Shen Qingwan!

Why was he doing this? How could he be inferior to Shen Qingwan! However, this little bitch was truly lucky. Even though she was tortured in her cell, she didn't kill her!

Although she really wanted Shen Qingwan to die quickly, she still had to put on an act on face.

"If it was any other person, they would have long been pulled out to behead the son of the Royal family. But they could do nothing about it, the Concubine Xian is not an ordinary person. Xiao Shushen taunted her mercilessly. When she saw Shen Qingwan's indifferent look, she was inexplicably enraged, wanting to tear her current appearance into pieces.

"But even so, so what? Even if the emperor wants to protect you, you are only a criminal who murdered his successor!" to Xiao Shushen's sarcasm.

She had heard it many times, and in her heart, she was already numb to it. However, when she saw Xiao Shushen's current appearance, she could not help but laugh in her heart, what did everything that happened today have to do with her?

His life and death was just like an ant!

The estranged and cold gaze slowly turned around, causing the fire in Xiao Shushen's heart to burn even more vigorously.

As she thought of something, the anger in her eyes started to dissipate, and she unconsciously felt a sense of schadenfreude. Since Shen Qingwan was imprisoned here, she probably did not know about some of the things that had happened. If she knew, who knows what kind of expression she would make.

"Sigh, the new year is truly unlucky. There are times of war at the border, which is quite annoying. But, luckily the emperor is wise and wise, and he sent a respected general. I believe that before long, the country will return to its former tranquility." The words that came out unwittingly caused Shen Qing Wan to feel a sense of vigilance, the things that Xiao Shushen said, were definitely not groundless, and now that she was locked in here, she was completely unaware of what was happening outside!

General? Could it be!

"Speaking of which, aren't you curious about who it is? "Speaking of which, this has something to do with my sister." The empress's face carried a hint of pride, "Now you're not going to tease my little sister. This person is no other than the famous General Shen! You said that suppressing the border isn't just around the corner? " Her red lips parted and her phoenix-like eyes slightly perked, as if she was watching a good show.

Initially, Shen Qing Wan had already guessed it from Xiao Shushen's words, heh, this general surnamed Shen, would most likely be her father, and if so, she would agree with her guess.

However, for some reason, there was a faint unease in his heart. After thinking about it carefully, the fact that he was facing such a situation and even sent his father to suppress him at the border, made him feel alarmed.

"Aiya, sister is also afraid that sister will be bored staying here, so I intentionally told you about this."

Shen Qingwan did not know about Xiao Shushen's voice, but she was hoping that she was worrying too much.

He prayed silently that nothing bad would happen to him when he went out to suppress the kingdom.

Seeing that there was more anger on her face, Xiao Shushen felt that he had achieved his goal. A smile flashed in his eyes, and he also left.
