We had just seen Li Ruotong off when we heard someone reporting something outside.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Shen Qingwan remained calm and respectfully saluted with her palace staff, "Welcome to the Emperor."
"No need to be so polite." Fu Yuheng waved his hand and asked the palace maids to leave, leaving him and Shen Qingwan alone in the room.
She didn't know what his purpose was in coming this time, but no matter why he came, she looked indifferent and didn't treat him well.
Fu Yuheng was not angry when he saw her indifferent attitude. Instead, he was very patient and had a smile on his face. He was no longer serious as usual, but had a rare youthful temperament and was indescribably handsome. However, the smile on his face disappeared quickly, and he kept thinking about how to tell her about General Shen. What he didn't know was that she had known about this matter for a long time and had been very worried.
As if he had thought of a proper solution, Fu Yuheng took two steps to Shen Qingwan's front, looked around her, and finally stopped at her thin shoulders. There were a few fallen leaves on her shoulders. He raised his hand to brush them away. Shen Qingwan's cold look was like an icy and proud plum blossom, which was perfectly contrasted by the fallen leaves.
However, Shen Qingwan still did not have a good look towards Fu Yuheng. When he brushed away the fallen leaves, she seemed to step back slightly unintentionally, with a lukewarm expression, and then turned to bow respectfully to Fu Yuheng.
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Fu Yuheng's hand was still suspended in the air, stuck in the action just now. He looked at her distant behavior, put down the slender hand, and there was still no trace of anger on his face. Instead, he smiled again.
But he took another step forward, pressed close to Shen Qingwan, and easily held her in his arms with his arms. Such an intimate action made Shen Qingwan, who was not mentally prepared at all, exclaim in a low voice. But at this time, Fu Yuheng had already picked her up sideways and walked to the stool and sat down.
Shen Qingwan wanted to break free from Fu Yuheng's arms, but men and women have different strengths, so no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get up.
"Don't move. I came here today to talk to you about your father!"
As soon as Fu Yuheng mentioned General Shen, Shen Qingwan stopped struggling and just sat quietly in his arms listening to what he was going to say to her next.
Although Shen Qingwan already knew about General Shen, she still couldn't help but worry when she heard Fu Yuheng's narration. While Shen Qingwan listened to Fu Yuheng's words carefully, she frowned and her expression suddenly became nervous.
Seeing this, Fu Yuheng reached out to help her stretch and placed a kiss on Shen Qingwan's forehead.
Fu Yuheng was so gentle that Shen Qingwan couldn't help but fall deeply in love with him.
"Did you come here today just to tell me this?" Shen Qingwan leaned in Fu Yuheng's arms, her voice softened. Let her indulge herself for once today. She was a little overwhelmed by the events of the past few days. The depression in her heart seemed to surge up at this moment, and her eyes became a little moist.
"Otherwise, do you think I have something else to say to you, or what are you looking forward to happening between you and me?" Fu Yuheng said with a smile, with a hint of doting in his eyes. She was well-behaved today, but if it were the past, she would probably be as defensive as a little hedgehog.
Thinking of this, Fu Yuheng closed his eyes gently and reached out to stroke Shen Qingwan's hair.
"Your father's place... I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let go this time." Fu Yuheng frowned again suddenly, thinking of the dissatisfaction of those ministers in the court, his eyes became sharp, they were indeed a group of old foxes who changed their attitude according to the situation.
Shen Qingwan also pursed her lips. She naturally knew that many people in the court were already at odds with her father. Now that they were given such a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation, how could they let go of such a good opportunity
But there was nothing she could do. She just felt a little angry. If there hadn't been a spy in the army, how could her father have fallen into such a situation
There were waves in her dark pupils, and her tone became stiff. "The military camp is a place of vigilance, but a spy appeared here. I'm afraid that the military orders are not strict enough, so you think my father is easy to bully." Shen Qingwan clenched her fists tightly, and her not-too-long nails pierced into the palms of her hands, but she could no longer feel the pain. The anger in her heart seemed to suppress all the pain.
Blood slowly flowed down the gaps between her fingers. Fu Yuheng grabbed her hand and felt only a little warmth and wetness. He subconsciously lowered his head to look, until he saw the bright red color staining her fingertips, then he widened his eyes.
This woman! Is she going crazy
"Let go!" His tone suddenly turned cold. Those words of concern sounded like a scolding when they came out of his mouth.
Not sure if it was because she was too fragile, or because his tone was too cold, but the tears that had been accumulating in Shen Qingwan's eyes suddenly flowed down, making Fu Yuheng at a loss for a moment.
"You... don't cry." He spoke hesitantly, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Usually, she looked strong, or she would cry softly like last time and deliberately make trouble for him. But she had never been like this before. She was silent, but the tears kept flowing down, as if she couldn't stop.
Fu Yuheng wiped her tears helplessly, even his sleeves were wet with tears, but he still couldn't stop her crying.
Shen Qingwan was somewhat moved when she saw Fu Yuheng like this, but she didn't know why. His scolding just now made her feel very aggrieved. She was already worried about her father's affairs, but he still scolded her. All of a sudden, the sadness in her heart was like a dam bursting, and she couldn't hold it back anymore. Even the indifferent temperament that had been in her mind since she was a child, was now thrown away.
"Why are you yelling at me..." She didn't know since when, but she lost her composure in front of him more and more often. Now, she spoke weakly like an ordinary girl.
Fu Yuheng let go of the breath he had been holding when he heard her speak. Seeing her pitiful appearance, he could only comfort her, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have yelled at you. Don't cry, okay? Hmm?"
The long tail sound was like coaxing a child, but it was extremely useful for Shen Qingwan now.
After saying this, Shen Qingwan was still sobbing, but she was obviously not as sad as before.
