C115 Heart Concealment

"Empress, is there anything troubling you?" Lian Yun, who was waiting at the side, was filled with worry. After the Empress had finished her discussion with the Ye Bodyguard, she did not say anything along the way, but only slightly frowned her brows.

"No problem." Shen Qingwan softly said, but her heart was unable to calm down. After all, this matter was no small matter. She never would have thought that her father's matter would involve such a complicated matter.

Towards Fu Huaiyu, it was hard to evaluate him in Shen Qing Wan's heart. That pair of peach shaped eyes that had a bewitching purple hue, was forever hung with a playful smile. On the surface, it seemed kind on the surface, but in her heart, it was like a misty fog that prevented others from detecting even a little bit of it.

Just as Shen Qingwan was lost in her thoughts, the eunuch outside the palace shouted, "The emperor has arrived!"

"Empress …" Seeing that his own mistress had no reaction, Lian Yun hastily pulled on Shen Qingwan's sleeves.

Shen Qingwan was wondering in her heart, what a coincidence, when she raised her eyes, she was caught off guard by the black star-like eyes, as though it was the calm sea surface, but hidden within was destruction.

"This concubine greets Your Majesty." Fu Yuheng's heart ached. In the past few days, Shen Qing Wan must have been troubled by the General Shen's matter, so he thought that if he told her about the news about the general, how would his current cold face react?

Fu Yuheng had a bit more anticipation in his heart. That was why he hurried over when he found out that it was the right time to do so and wanted to share it with him.

"Esteemed wangfei, please forgive me. I have been quite haggard these past few days. If General Shen knew about this, how could my heart be at ease?" Fu Yuheng felt slightly more reproachful, and of course, he felt more pampering towards her. It had been quite tough on her these past few days.

Even though Shen Qingwan already knew about her father's recent situation, she was still on the border battlefield. One day, when the border was unsettled, she held it in her heart, afraid that some bad news would come, "Thank you, your majesty. Now that my father is in danger, how can I be at ease?"

"Don't worry, General Shen is a brave and warlike person, the title of being a leader is not just for show, my beloved concubine does not have any trust in General Shen at all?" Fu Yuheng also knew that there was no use in saying those words. The best way was to settle the situation at the border as soon as possible. This way, once the General Shen returned, Shen Qingwan's heart would be at ease.

"Oh right, my beloved concubine, we do have some good news about the General Shen. My beloved concubine, do you want to hear it?" In his heart, he actually hoped to see Shen Qingwan's other face. However, Shen Qingwan had already found out the result, and his cold personality made it difficult for him to cooperate with her. However, he didn't want to arouse Fu Yuheng's suspicions, so the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Honestly speaking, Fu Yuheng felt a bit disappointed in his heart when he saw Shen Qingwan's reaction. However, when he thought about it, perhaps he had been too distracted for the past few days, he did not react in the slightest. Although he was puzzled in his heart, he still told his everything that Ye Feng had told him.

"My beloved concubine, you don't have to worry about the General Shen. We had promised you before that now that the general's matter has been resolved, there is indeed a spy in the army. We will definitely give him and you an explanation." The matter that had caught her attention now was none other than related to the Ninth Prince, after all, if this matter was really done by the Ninth Prince, then what would happen to Fu Yuheng in the end?

But now, he couldn't just rely on one person's words to determine the crime of Ninth Prince, what if someone intentionally set him up? If … Someone is purposefully provoking the relationship between the Ninth Prince and the Emperor!

However, even he himself did not believe this. That person might have really done such a thing. He had hidden his strength so deeply, so how could he not have any ambitions in this vast imperial palace?

As he thought about this, his expression turned serious. He was the one hiding the truth from him, and his expression was stiff.

"What is your beloved concubine thinking?" Fu Yuheng noticed that her expression appeared to be somewhat disorderly, and some doubts arose in his heart. Was there something she was hiding from him?

In her heart, however, she tried to explain. Perhaps she had been too worried for the past few days.

"Chenqie doesn't dare." Perhaps Shen Qing Wan sensed that the atmosphere wasn't right, she came back to reality and upon hearing his question, she forced a smile, but her words were less convincing.

"Since my beloved concubine is in such a rush, I won't disturb you. I think that the general will be fine, so I can be at ease now." Honestly speaking, Fu Yuheng felt slightly sour in his heart. Even though he had treated her well enough, she was still neither cold nor hot.

Fu Yuheng left with a flick of his sleeve. After all, he was afraid that if he stayed here any longer, he would lose control of his mind. However, he was still confused. Was Shen Qingwan hiding something?

He could sense from what he felt just now that Shen Qingwan had been distracted, but now that the matter of the general had been settled, there was no need to keep it in her heart. What was that thing that caused her to be like this?

With regards to the slightest reaction from his own mistress, Lian Yun felt that he had let her down. However, after a long and bitter speech, her mind swam away again, as if a fist had just landed on cotton, and he felt a soft and weak feeling.

Rather than thinking random thoughts here, she might as well ask him for an explanation. That would be fine, Shen Qing Wan felt grateful towards Fu Huaiyu in her heart, after all, he had helped her multiple times, so how could she not feel anything when her heart was full of flesh and blood?

Shen Qingwan had some thoughts in her heart, but now, if this matter gets out of hand, it would not be good for anyone.

After all, Fu Yuheng and Fu Huaiyu were both descendants of the imperial family.

Currently, the imperial government could not afford to go through all of this. Since the situation at the border had not been resolved, if it was a fight between the royal families, it would definitely involve a bunch of border generals.

And at this time, the Ninth Prince had already returned to his own Duke Palace, and was discussing the matter of Hu Youshan with him in the study room.
