"Pah!" The sound of a cup shattering could be heard, and fury seemed to erupt from his eyes. Sun Ning, who was at the side, instantly knelt down, as it had been a long time since the emperor was angry like today.
"Your Majesty …" "Your Majesty, please calm your anger."
"Calm down? How can I quell my anger? Look, here! This is a complete waste of our trust in him! " He flung the paper roll in front of Sun Ning, and even the dust around it trembled.
Sun Ning bent his body as he picked up the paper roll, but didn't dare look straight at the emperor in front of him.
"The border is broken!" To think that he would have the face to tell me! " With a cold snort, Sun Ning who was kneeling on the ground did not even dare to breathe out. The location of the border was already extremely important, and General Shen had always been a heroic enemy, so it was rare for him to lose guard. But now that something happened, and he did not have the time to settle this matter properly, how could he be angry!
"All of you will cause trouble for me!" This was naturally about the General Shen and Shen Qingwan. A few days ago, the Second Princess had just passed, and now that the General Shen's borders were broken, the Shen family was frequently in trouble.
"Go and call the Consort Xian over for us!" With a wave of her hand, she sat back down. However, the rise and fall of her chest made it obvious that she was not calm.
Sun Ning immediately crawled up from the ground, and sighed in his heart that the Emperor's emotions were really too frightening, but he did not dare say anything else. "Yes, your servant will go right now."
After she left, the only thing she could do was pray for Shen Qingwan.
Currently, Fu Yuheng was probably very angry. If he were to say something wrong, the outcome would probably not be any better.
"Concubine Xian …" This servant has come to find you again. " The moment Sun Ning entered the courtyard, he shouted loudly. This couldn't be blamed on him, if one had to blame him, it could only be blamed on His Majesty's current temper, which was simply too difficult to fathom.
Shen Qingwan didn't feel that surprised when she saw him come over. She had already heard from someone that the Emperor was furious, but she didn't know why.
"Don't worry Sun Gonggong, but did the Emperor ask you to come and summon me?" His face was still indifferent on the surface, but it made Sun Ning break out in a cold sweat. The facial features of his face were just about to scrunch into a ball, yet he still did not have the intention to relax.
"Oh Empress, please don't be so slow. Today, the emperor was infuriated because of the matter with the General Shen …" Sun Ning stomped his feet in worry, he had accidentally said too much.
Sure enough, Shen Qingwan's brows furrowed, then she started to worry, could it be that something happened to her father? With a pale face, she was about to fall, but Lian Yun reacted quickly and held her.
"Empress, don't worry. You'll know once you go with my family to see the emperor." Seeing her like this, Sun Ning knew that she was overthinking it and quickly shut her mouth. After all, the Emperor was still waiting to see her. If she were to fall, how would he report to the Emperor?
"Alright, I'll go with you." She steadied her body and brushed the hand Lian Yun was holding her with, but her face was still pale white.
"Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian is here." Sun Ning told her to wait outside before he went in to report to the court.
At this moment, Fu Yuheng was sitting on a chair, his mind at ease. He was still frowning, but his anger had already mostly dissipated.
"Empress, come in." It was only when Fu Yuheng agreed that Sun Ning dared to let Shen Qingwan in. He also conveniently told her to speak as little as possible, so as to not make the emperor unhappy.
Shen Qingwan nodded her head, but she was also absent-minded.
"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Imperial Majesty." He secretly looked up with a worried expression, but she didn't dare to disturb him like this. She could only wait quietly to the side and maintain a respectful posture.
After a while, Shen Qingwan felt that her relationship was going to go numb. Only then did Fu Yuheng notice her existence. "Get up and find a place to sit." He knew that she was too lost in her thoughts, so he didn't notice that she had been waiting for a long time, so he didn't make things difficult for her.
"Why did the Emperor call chenqie here today?" Shen Qingwan bit her bottom lip, feeling uneasy. She was afraid something had happened to her father, just in case …
Fortunately, Fu Yuheng's next sentence made her heave a sigh of relief. "Don't worry. Your father is fine." It was as if he could read her thoughts. He told her not to worry before she said it out loud, telling her not to worry too much.
Perhaps it was because Shen Qingwan's appearance a few days ago had left a deep impression on him. At this moment, he couldn't bear to make her worry too much.
"Look at this." Reaching out, he handed the paper to her, indicating that she should take a look for herself.
Shen Qingwan was puzzled, but the paleness on her face had already receded. However, after receiving the paper, her expression changed again. However, there were still some doubts within her heart.
"What does Consort Shen think of this matter?" Fu Yuheng looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, as though he was inspecting her. He wanted to see what she would say now.
"Your majesty, chenqie feels that there's something fishy about this matter." That was her father. She knew that her father wasn't someone who would easily lose a battle, but now the truth was in front of her. If she said that there was nothing to do, then how could she believe it?
When Fu Yuheng saw her expression, he felt that it was rather interesting. If he could remain so calm at this moment, there would probably be very few women like her in the entire world.
"Oh? "Then tell me, what do you think is so strange about this?" Fu Yuheng smiled, waiting patiently for her explanation. However, his eyes seemed to contain more interest.
Shen Qingwan pursed her lips. She naturally had confidence in her father, but the emperor might not be so sure. "Chenqie's father must be rather trusting. Otherwise, why would he hand such an important matter over to father?"
Fu Yuheng nodded and continued, "Since that's the case, how could father be defeated so easily?"
When General Shen was injured a few days ago, he had clearly resolved most of the situation. Since that was the case, then the enemy would naturally not be that strong.
Hearing her words, Fu Yuheng also felt that what she said made sense. Indeed, with General Shen's strength, it shouldn't have been so easy for them to lose, so what was going on?
"So, what do you mean?" He asked with his eyes fixated on Shen Qingwan's expression and thought about her words.
"Chenqie thinks that something might have happened to the military."
These words caused Fu Yuheng to be stunned. Surprise? Did she mean that there was a spy?
Shen Qingwan did not speak further. Last time, a subordinate of the General Shen told her that there was a spy in the army, so who knows if there is only one? Or perhaps there was an even more powerful existence?
