C88 Discourse

It was unknown whether it was because he had too many misgivings or because he was concerned about her, but Fu Yuheng finally decided to stop the brush in his hand and go to Shen Qingwan's courtyard.

"Your Majesty …" When the guards of the imperial guards saw him coming over, they immediately wanted to bow, but he waved his hand and withdrew.

The sky was a little bit red, shining down on the courtyard and reflecting the figure of the person sitting quietly. There was a bit more silence, but also less irritation.

Fu Yuheng pushed the door open and entered to see Shen Qingwan staring blankly at the entrance. Seeing that her complexion was still very weak and that her entire body was listless, he still felt somewhat guilty in her heart when she saw her like this.

"What is he thinking!"

Shen Qingwan's eyes blinked as she regained her senses. Looking at the bright yellow dragon robe, her eyes turned stern and her voice became cold. She stood up and bowed, "Greetings your majesty, I wonder what business your majesty has."

Fu Yuheng sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of water. He drank it all in one go and went straight to the point, revealing his purpose for coming to Shen Qingwan.

"Did I come today to ask your opinion on the princess' matter?"

Shen Qingwan was initially looking at his actions with a displeased expression. After he finished speaking, she was stunned. She didn't expect Fu Yuheng to ask her opinion so directly.

Sitting across from him, he lowered his head in thought, recalling the scene at that time and organizing the words in his mind, only then did he slowly open his mouth.

"According to chenqie's memories, there are two points of doubt. The first is the palace maid by the princess's side, that palace maid acts furtively and his gaze is erratic. He has never dared to look chenqie in the eye, moreover, this palace maid has never seen his before. The second is that your concubine was brought into the room by her. He was dizzy and his limbs were weak. Before he could even react, he had already lost consciousness. "

This wasn't the first time she had told him about this, but he had never heard of it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked anymore questions.

After saying such a long sentence, Shen Qingwan's weak body was already a little weak. She frowned and clenched her fists to alleviate her discomfort. Her expression was a little absent-minded, but she did not want to show any sign of it in front of Fu Yuheng.

Fu Yuheng frowned as he looked at her expression and heard the doubts in her voice.

"Think about it carefully. If you think of anything, tell me in time."

Shen Qingwan lowered her eyes to recall it seriously. Her throat couldn't help but dry up and cough lightly. She could not stop coughing. Tears welled in his eyes, and even her heart ached from the coughing.

Seeing that she was coughing uncomfortably, Fu Yuheng hurriedly poured her a cup of water. He looked at her with concern and was at a loss as to what to do.

He took the water and moistened his throat. Then, he stopped coughing.

"How is your body, is it still uncomfortable? What did the imperial physician say?" Fu Yuheng looked at Shen Qingwan who was holding her chest with one hand with an uncomfortable expression on her face. He struggled in his heart for a long time before he finally asked.

"The imperial physician said he needed some time to recuperate, but the wounds on his body are already healing. They should be healing soon." Shen Qing Wan lowered her eyebrows to hide the emotion in her eyes, her voice was low and deep, the atmosphere was gloomy.

"Then, then you should rest well. Don't let your thoughts run wild, just listen to the imperial physician's instructions and take good care of your body." He didn't know what to say, so he could only give some advice on things that were of no use.

"Thank you, your majesty." Hearing Fu Yuheng's concern, Shen Qingwan did not show much joy on her face. She had always maintained a calm face of honor and disgrace, and did not become as complacent as the others.

Fu Yuheng, on the other hand, was looking at her with a slightly awkward expression. Looking at her emaciated body, he felt even more guilty, wanting to say something to her but not knowing where to start. Neither of them said anything.

The next day, Fu Yuheng left for the morning assembly. He changed his clothes, went to the empress's courtyard, and walked into it.

When Xiao Shushen heard that the palace maid had come to report that the emperor had arrived, she hastily tidied her clothes and quickly walked out to greet his. When she saw Fu Yuheng, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise upwards and her heart was overflowing with joy.

"Your Majesty, if you're here, why didn't you send a servant to inform me so that I can dress myself up before receiving the emperor?" Xiao Shushen hurriedly invited Fu Yuheng into the room. Seeing him reveal the coquettish tone of a little girl, his sudden arrival caused her, who was usually calm, to lose her usual composure. However, he was also thinking if the emperor had already lost trust in Shen Qingwan.

"No need, I'm just asking for your opinion on the matter of the princess."

Fu Yuheng cut her off with a wave of his hand. Ignoring her happiness, he directly told her his purpose in coming here.

When Xiao Shushen heard his words, the corners of her mouth stiffened. For a moment, she was at a loss of what to do, and there was embarrassment on her face, but she still braced herself and looked at him, "Your concubine is also at a loss regarding this matter. I do not have any good ideas, I beg your majesty, please forgive me."

The Emperor had not come to see him for a long time, but instead asked him about Shen Qingwan. That matter had clear killing intent, and the evidence was conclusive, but the Emperor had always shielded this slut, so he came over to ask what he thought, and did not know what kind of bewitching medicine that slut, Shen Qingwan, had given him.

"The empress is serious, I'm just asking. Don't worry about it, empress."

Fu Yuheng looked at Xiao Shushen and felt that her face was a little pale. He recalled that there were many matters regarding the harem that had been waiting for her to settle recently.

"I can see that you don't look too good, but there are too many things going on in the harem. Don't be too tired, you need to rest. After all, your body is more important."

"Thank you for your concern, your majesty." Xiao Shushen clenched his fists and bowed his head in agreement, but his unwillingness to do so completely exposed the depths of his eyes.

He definitely wouldn't let that slut Shen Qingwan off so easily, and he definitely wouldn't let her wash away the crime of killing a princess so easily. Since she won't let him feel at ease, then she will definitely not let him off.

Fu Yuheng spoke a few more words with Xiao Shushen before leaving the room. Despite her repeated attempts to urge him to stay, she did not even eat.

Walking out of the courtyard, he thought about what Shen Qingwan had said before. After some thought, he decided to ask the palace maid first.

"Sun Gonggong, go take a look at Steward Mammy to see who the servant that was taking care of the princess before she died was. Check if there are any other clues."

Sun Ning waved his whisk, and lowered his head, hoping that the situation would turn for the better. After all, he had seen Shen Qingwan's actions back then, and hoped that she was truly innocent now.
