After sobbing for a while, she finally felt a little relieved. Shen Qingwan felt a little embarrassed. She seemed to be more and more willful, like a child in front of him. This was different from her temperament and the way she treated others.
"How are you? Are you feeling better?" He spoke gently, fearing that the woman in his arms would misunderstand something. Fu Yuheng could never have imagined that one day he would be so careful and caring to a woman, and doting on her in every way.
But now both of them have things on their mind, and they don't realize the difference between them. One is rarely weak, and the other is rarely gentle.
"Yeah, much better." She tried to break free from Fu Yuheng's arms, but failed after several attempts. This man was always surprisingly overbearing to her.
"You are like this today, it's really..." The words came to his lips but he didn't say them. No matter who it is, if their relatives are framed, they will lose their composure, let alone a woman.
Fu Yuheng finished speaking halfway, but Shen Qingwan wanted to know the rest of his words, but she asked several times without success. She felt sad again, even though she was disappointed with his behavior before, but now he was the only one who could make her show such weakness.
"Are you afraid that I'll be sad? I know things are definitely not that simple, right?" After a moment of silence, Shen Qingwan spoke softly.
What she heard was the same as what Fu Yuheng told her, but it was much more serious. As the emperor, he must have investigated more clearly and knew more than she did. However, what he told her was only the lightest thing.
Hearing this, Fu Yuheng was stunned and just hugged the woman tightly. She was so smart, was it good or bad? What should he do
"No, don't think too much. Have some sleep. Everything will be fine tomorrow." After saying that, he got up and carried Shen Qingwan to the bed. He didn't expect that after not seeing her for a while, she had become so light.
Shen Qingwan looked at Fu Yuheng and knew that he was also worried, so she didn't want to put more pressure on him. She closed her eyes and prepared to fall asleep, while the man beside her seemed to be still worried that she would be upset, so he coaxed her softly.
Maybe it wasn't a bad thing that she was being so willful today. She should just accept his kindness to her for now.
For a moment, only Fu Yuheng's voice could be heard in the room, and everyone else was waiting outside the door. He actually enjoyed this kind of silence. He was not a tyrant, but he didn't like those power schemes and calculations, but he was the emperor, and he had to do this.
"Sleep well." After a long time, Shen Qingwan fell asleep. Afraid of waking her up, Fu Yuheng spoke softly, then reached out to cover her with the quilt before leaving.
It was not until he came out that the people outside breathed a sigh of relief, especially Eunuch Sun. Seeing the attitude of Concubine Xian, he thought that the two would inevitably have a quarrel, but he did not expect that it was so peaceful inside after such a long time, which made him feel much more relieved.
Moreover, seeing that Fu Yuheng was in a good mood and looked doting, I was even more relieved. If these two masters were willing to open their hearts, it would be great.
"Your Majesty, are we going back to the palace or to some noble's residence?" Approaching Fu Yuheng, Eunuch Sun bowed and spoke slowly.
Fu Yuheng said nothing, turned his head to look at Shen Qingwan's door and walked out. Where was he going? He didn't know, he was very upset now.
There were still a lot of memorials waiting for him to deal with in the imperial study, and the noble ladies didn't understand these things, so he couldn't say anything to them. In this huge harem, there were times when he didn't know where to go.
Seeing Fu Yuheng walking silently without saying anything, the eunuchs around him lowered their voices so as not to disturb the emperor. Eunuch Sun also just followed Fu Yuheng without saying anything.
"Eunuch Sun." After walking a few rounds, Fu Yuheng suddenly spoke. Sun Ning was stunned. Is the emperor calling him
"Your Majesty, I am here." After thinking for a while, he finally spoke respectfully.
"How long have you been with me?" Fu Yuheng spoke slowly, as if he remembered something, and rubbed his temple with his hand. Seeing this, Sun Ning immediately went over.
Knowing that Eunuch Sun wanted to help him, Fu Yuheng waved his hand to indicate that it was not necessary, as he had more troubles right now. "In your opinion, am I a wise ruler?" This sentence frightened Eunuch Sun and the eunuchs around him, and they all knelt down.
"Your Majesty, you are a wise ruler who cares about the people. You are undoubtedly a wise ruler throughout history." As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Yuheng pulled him up and walked a few steps forward.
"You are a wise ruler. Why can't I think of a way to have the best of both worlds regarding General Shen's matter?" Not only Shen Qingwan, but he was also troubled by this matter. Not only because he was the emperor, but also because he was afraid of disappointing Shen Qingwan.
Before Eunuch Sun could come up with anything to comfort him, Fu Yuheng continued, "General Shen is already an old general who has served in two dynasties. If his military power is taken away like this, I'm afraid he will be disappointed. Besides, Concubine Xian is filial and will probably be unhappy. But if we just let it go like this, I'm afraid the court officials will be dissatisfied."
There was one more thing he didn't say. General Shen was now very powerful. As the saying goes, "great achievements can shock the master", how could he not be afraid
Eunuch Sun listened but didn't know how to comfort him. He was just a eunuch. Even if he was deeply favored by the emperor, he couldn't say anything beyond his status. He just kept persuading Fu Yuheng not to be too embarrassed, and didn't know who he was embarrassing.
Knowing that it was useless to ask, Fu Yuheng finally walked towards the imperial study. What needed to be dealt with had to be dealt with.
"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to meet her at the ancestral hall." After the morning court session, Fu Yuheng was about to read the memorials when he received a message from someone close to the Empress Dowager.
Hearing this, he raised his head and glared at the palace maid unhappily. General Shen's matter had already troubled him enough. The Queen Mother was probably going to lecture him again at this time? After all, the Queen Mother didn't like Shen Qingwan very much, and now she would probably take the opportunity to suppress her by taking advantage of General Shen's matter.
"Mother." But he still had to go. As the emperor, he had to set an example and couldn't let people in the world think that he was unfilial. When he arrived at the ancestral hall, he saw the empress dowager kneeling on a cushion and praying for blessings.
After calling out to the empress dowager but seeing no response, Fu Yuheng knelt down on the mat and then helped the empress dowager up.
"My son, you are here. I notice that you have lost a lot of weight. Are you worried about the affairs of the court?" Following Fu Yuheng's hand, the empress dowager slowly turned around, looked at Fu Yuheng and spoke.
After the Queen Mother said this, she was probably going to talk about General Shen next. Fu Yuheng tried to change the subject, but the Queen Mother still wouldn't give in.
