She blinked her eyes slightly and came to her senses. There was a row of simple and elegant hair accessories on the dressing table, but in the drawer, one compartment was occupied by shiny golden color. Among the golden color, there was something most abrupt. It was a box, which seemed to be made of bronze with a slight green color. The lid of the box was carved with complex and beautiful patterns and inlaid with pearls and jade. It was very exquisite.
Liu Churong stretched out her slender fingers to open the small box at the very corner.
Lamei thought there would be something precious inside, but when Liu Churong opened it, she saw that there were no extra hair accessories inside, just a piece of paper.
The paper was very thin, and probably because of being rubbed and kneaded, there were many wrinkles on it. The words on the paper seemed to show the indifference of the owner of the handwriting, with only a simple line of words: Be obedient recently, and you will naturally get what you want.
This note was sent by the palace maid who had just talked about Liu Churong the day before. She was still confused at first, but the palace maid stuffed the note directly into her hand. When she finished reading the note and wanted to ask the palace maid who asked her to send it, the palace maid had already left.
But she didn't know that the owner of the note was sitting in the Ninth Prince's mansion, drinking tea leisurely, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
"Your Highness, we have made some progress on the carrier pigeon issue." The tea was still steaming. Fu Huaiyu put down the cup in his hand and casually glanced at the person in front of him.
"Oh? But what did you find out?" This ordinary sentence, coming out of his mouth at this moment, gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.
The man, dressed in black, was lying on the ground, and he was obviously not panicking at all. "In reply to your question, Your Majesty, I have been watching for a long time, and the pigeon was indeed sent by the Queen."
Hearing this, Fu Huaiyu tapped the table lightly with his hands, as if he was thinking about something. The man in black just waited there until Fu Huaiyu waved his hand for him to leave, and then he got up and left.
"What do you think about this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Zilian came out from the dark corner, fanning himself lightly with a frivolous smile on his face, "It seems that the emperor doesn't know about this matter..."
With two clicks of the tongue, the solemnity in Mo Zilian's eyes formed a sharp contrast with the frivolous expression on his face. If you look at them separately, those solemn eyes seemed as if they were not on him, so abrupt.
"Now it seems that this queen is not someone who is easy to deal with." Fu Huaiyu took over his words, revealing a bit of viciousness in his eyes, "Before I came here, I underestimated her. She is really a hidden person."
Xiao Shushen has always been virtuous, generous and decent in the palace. In his opinion, she is just a little clever, which can be used in the harem. However, he never thought that she is so scheming and even has spies on his side, Hu Youshan. Now he may have to re-examine her.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. How's the situation at the border?" The topic changed, and he suddenly remembered how Shen Qingwan looked when she came that day. It was rare to see her so uncalm, but it also seemed interesting.
"Your Highness, General Shen is no longer in serious condition, but we have retreated more than ten miles, and the morale of the army has dropped by more than half." Mo Zilian's smile deepened, as if he was not talking about a matter of life and death, but just a trivial matter.
"Let's resolve the border issue as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble." After Fu Huaiyu finished speaking, he drank the tea in the cup. Thinking of Shen Qingwan's previous appearance, he became a little worried. If he did this, she would be very sad. But then she hardened her heart. After all, she was a woman. Compared with the country, what was she
But even so, there was still a hint of worry between his brows. It seemed that there would be times when he could not control the chess piece. But on the chessboard, how could he give up the whole situation for a chess piece
Mo Zilian was watching from the side, he was not too worried, but just felt it was strange. He didn't expect that there was someone in the world who could make him fall in love. It was a pity that she was already the Emperor's virtuous concubine, so even if he was attracted to her, what could he do
With a faint sigh, Mo Zilian hid in a dark corner again, as if Fu Huaiyu was the only one in the room from beginning to end.
It is said that beautiful women are the root of trouble, but that is not entirely true.
The border issue involved too many things, and Shen Qingwan didn't know what to do for a moment. Now she was basically certain that Fu Huaiyu was related to the border issue, but she had no evidence, and it would be in vain even if she reported it to the gods.
Everything can only be considered in the long run.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor hasn't come for the past few days..." Lianyun looked at Shen Qingwan with some worry. She could see that although she seemed cold towards him, she was not completely without any feelings. On the contrary, when encountering problems, she would even rely on him a little. It was just that her cold personality since childhood made her seem a little ruthless.
But she is just a woman after all, how can she not care about anything
"It's okay, you don't have to worry." Shen Qingwan smiled. She naturally knew what she meant and knew that she was worried about her, but her father's affairs had not been settled yet, so how could she have the mind to consider her children's personal affairs.
"Go and get my piano." She looked at the sky and saw that it was almost dusk. She suddenly wanted to play the piano. When she was young, her father never forced her to learn anything, but her mother insisted that she learn something.
Fortunately, she was still interested in playing the piano at that time, so she learned it. Until now, it has been just a rare pastime in the palace. In such a huge palace, she may not be able to escape the control of the imperial power, but she will also create a small world for herself.
"Empress, your piano..." It didn't take long for Lianyun to come out holding the piano. She didn't say anything more, but she hoped that something good would happen at this time to dilute Shen Qingwan's boredom.
Unfortunately, Fu Yuheng is now with Liu Churong.
After that day, this was Fu Yuheng's third visit to Liu Churong.
“Your Majesty…” Liu Churong changed his usual temperament and became a little gentler, but every time he lowered his head, the pride in his eyes could not be concealed.
"What's the matter?" Fu Yuheng lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms. Liu Churong's light makeup still felt very fresh to him, and his mood also improved a lot.
"I hope Your Majesty will make the decision for me regarding my own affairs!" Tears rolled down Fu Yuheng's eyes, causing her heart to ache. She felt that she had been wronged in the beginning.
