"Your Majesty …" Just as he rubbed his glabella, Fu Yuheng heard Sun Ning's voice coming from outside.
What was Sun Ning doing here at this time? Fu Yuheng was somewhat puzzled, but he did not want to investigate any further. After all, there were eight or ten consorts who came here every day. When Sun Ning came in, he reckoned that it was because another consort was causing trouble outside.
"Your majesty, Concubine Xian was waiting outside with an anxious expression. This old servant said that Your majesty was busy and did not want to see anyone, but in the end, this old servant said that he was kneeling in front of the palace and wanted to see you."
He was not in a good mood due to the innumerable government affairs that were already going on. He turned his head and looked out the window. It seemed like noon was the most poisonous time.
Sun Ning added in a very colorful manner, "The place where you are kneeling is still the most prosperous prince in the world. Your majesty, are you really not going to take a look? Or perhaps, invite Concubine Xian in for a drink of cool tea? "
Fu Yuheng did not speak. He silently looked at the ice cube on the other side of the table. If that woman came in and blew with him, she should be able to relieve the heat in the courtyard a little bit.
Sun Ning followed Fu Yuheng's gaze as he seemed to pass by. He understood what was going on and silently retreated.
As for Shen Qingwan, who was slightly confused due to Princess Qian Qian's kneeling, she had long since been muddled by the General Shen's incident. At this moment, she could not care about anything else.
If not for her father's sudden appearance, how could she have not been successful? She simply knelt down recklessly, hoping that Sun Gonggong would let Fu Yuheng out to meet her.
She had no confidence that Fu Yuheng would divulge the news to her father just because she pleaded for mercy.
Fu Yuheng originally wanted to reprimand her, but when he looked up, he saw that her face was pale and her expression was clearly more panicked than before. Even the words on the tip of her tongue were unable to leave her mouth.
"If you disturb my business like this, I can punish you with a death sentence."
"Chenqie knows how great of a sin it is to be a saint without an imperial edict."
His voice was also different from before, but there was a hint of bitterness in his tone that inexplicably made his heart ache.
"But even if the Emperor were to punish this concubine's death, this concubine would dare to ask. Is this concubine's father well?"
Fu Yuheng didn't speak. He just looked at her silently.
"Father, may I ask what happened at the border? The soldiers Father brought out were all elite soldiers, and Father is the general, how could he be injured?" "Your majesty, please forgive chenqie's feelings. As long as you answer chenqie's question, chenqie is willing to accept the punishment."
As soon as he finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily twice, causing his heart to sink with a loud 'bang'.
Although she knew that in this woman's heart, she cared a lot about her father, she didn't even care about him. She only wanted to know how well her father was.
Fu Yuheng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. If he were to encounter danger in the future, would she be that worried about him?
However, he immediately shook his head. As the ruler of a country, it seemed unlucky to think that he was in danger.
In her current state, it was fine that she was only seen by him, but if others were to see her, the harem would be full of people who would talk about what had happened today.
By the time Fu Yuheng had reacted, he had already strode to her side and helped his up onto the dragon bed. He comforted his in a rare soft voice, "Your father will be fine. If it were anyone else, I dare not guarantee. "But your father, as my subject, with the protection of my dragon aura, will naturally return safely."
When Shen Qingwan heard this, she relaxed her tensed muscles and collapsed to the ground.
When Fu Yuheng saw her powerless expression, he felt some heartache.
Shen Qingwan, on the other hand, seemed to be in too much of a fluster. She even believed these words. Grabbing his hand, she looked at him expectantly: "Your majesty, you will protect Chenqie's father when he returns safely, right?!"
But now, Fu Yuheng seemed to have realized that no matter how much of a contrast there was between her calmness and his jubilation before him, he had always overlooked it. Now, she was only a girl.
He would cry, he would make a ruckus, he would have no sense of security, he would search for safety, he was just like a young beast.
Fu Yuheng stroked her head. Shen Qingwan was a very rare sight, but he felt very comfortable with it. He continued to comfort his, "Yes, your father will be fine. He will come back to see you give birth to a dragon for me. Take him to the battlefield to train, and support him."
Shen Qingwan did not feel that anything was wrong. She held onto his hand as if she was hugging onto the last straw of the ocean, murmuring, "Yes, father will come back."
Fu Yuheng took a glance at the fragrant tea that he had fed her when she wasn't paying attention. There seemed to be some Spirit-Sobering Medicine added in it, causing the medicinal effect to take effect. Shen Qingwan slowly quietened down.
However, perhaps Shen Qingwan still couldn't fall asleep even though she hadn't seen her father.
Fu Yuheng didn't act like a criminal and knocked her out. He had no choice but to call for a palace maid that was waiting outside and repeat a few words before letting his go.
Shen Qing Wan quietly leaned on the carriage, looking to be in low spirits, the palace maids were all anxious.
When he returned to the palace, Lian Yun stood at the entrance as he looked around. From afar, he saw a carriage heading in his direction, and after he focused his gaze, he noticed that it was her.
When the esteemed Empress ran out in that state in the morning, she couldn't stop her, but she was also afraid that the Empress had offended the emperor. Only now, seeing that her own Empress had returned with all her hair tied up in a bun, did her heart finally calm down.
But when he came to pick her up, he saw that she didn't have much energy left, so he tensed up again. "Esteemed Empress, what's wrong? Your face is deathly pale. Did you follow the emperor …"
If she just hadn't seen the emperor, that would have been fine. What she was afraid of was that the empress had offended the emperor, and he had reprimanded the empress.
Shen Qing Wan came back to her senses and pulled Lian Yun's hand, feeling a little lost: "Lian Yun, your majesty should have tacitly acknowledged that I am alright now. Tell me, is my father really alright? It can't be that the Emperor lied to me to coax me, right? "
So it was for this matter that Lian Yun actually calmed down and patted her hand, "Empress, don't worry. The emperor has never said anything that isn't a lie. Moreover, the emperor has never kept the Empress from him, so the Empress can rest at ease. "
Only after Lian Yun had coaxed her like so, did Shen Qingwan finally regain her senses. Yes, Fu Yuheng would never lie to her. She was frightened, so she got lost.
She seemed to be deceiving herself, but the panic in her heart was much calmer. Her tears slowly flowed from the corners of her eyes to her cheeks, revealing an additional weakness.
She had always been indifferent, but now, she couldn't calm down no matter what.
Ever since she was young, her father had always been a hero on the battlefield, but now, news had spread and she was unconscious. How could she be at ease? Lying on the bed, perhaps because he was too worried, he also couldn't sleep soundly.
It had been a long time since Lian Yun had seen a child like her. She gently covered herself with a blanket, and then went to guard outside the door.
