After dealing with Concubine De's affairs, Fu Yuheng went to Shen Qingwan's palace. Seeing her injured, she felt very distressed. The Queen Mother should be satisfied now. At the last moment, Shen Qingwan was protecting her.
"How is it? Does it still hurt?" He went over to help Shen Qingwan up from the bed. He really couldn't bear to see those scars. One by one, they were shocking. She used to be the daughter of the general's mansion, and now she was his concubine. She had never suffered such grievances, but she had never said a word of pain since she came back.
"It doesn't hurt. It didn't hurt from the beginning. It's just a superficial wound. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about me." Shen Qingwan saw the worry in his eyes and shook her head with a smile.
In fact, she thought she would die at first, but she didn't expect Fu Yuheng to be sent to pick them up. So now that she can come back, she is already very satisfied. And the words of the abbot seemed to be witnessing little by little. Maybe this is her fate.
"You said it was just a superficial injury, but it's like this now. You have always been stubborn." The more sensible she was, the more he wanted to break the peace.
"It's okay, it's really okay. I come from a family of generals. Although I can't wield a spear or a sword, my father has taught me since I was a child that a girl shouldn't be too delicate, so this injury is nothing to me." She could see the worry in Fu Yuheng's heart, and for some reason, she felt a little happy.
"I have already investigated the matter thoroughly. I am afraid it was Concubine De who did it. I will handle the rest of the matter and will definitely seek justice for you and the Queen Mother!"
Shen Qingwan was stunned when she heard this. Concubine De? Could it be Concubine De? "Your Majesty, have you visited the Queen Mother? I think she must have been very scared this time." Fu Yuheng remained silent, and Shen Qingwan thought he had not gone.
"Your Majesty, you should go and see the Queen Mother. Don't let her have any misunderstandings about me again." Shen Qingwan frowned. This time, she was lucky to escape danger.
After hearing her say this, Fu Yuheng did not explain but left.
After Fu Yuheng left, Shen Qingwan got up and dressed. She deliberately wanted to get Fu Yuheng away. She said that the assassination was committed by Concubine De. In fact, she didn't believe it, so she wanted to ask for clarification.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has already investigated everything. Why are you still going?" Lianyun didn't understand her behavior and asked curiously.
"I always feel that the facts are not like this, so it is better to ask clearly." As he said this, he arrived at the Defei Palace. The guards on duty saw that it was Shen Qingwan who came and did not dare to stop them and let them in.
After all, the reason why the lady inside was imprisoned was because she sent someone to assassinate Concubine Xian, and the emperor's indulgence of Concubine Xian made them dare not stop her.
Shen Qingwan went straight to Shen Lihan's bedroom. Shen Lihan was in a daze, but when she saw her coming, she immediately rushed over. "Sister, I am really wronged. Why would I send someone to assassinate you?"
Shen Qingwan was also a little sad when she saw her red eyes from crying. "Get up first, I have something to ask you, it will be fine once you understand it clearly." She helped Shen Lihan up. After not seeing her for a few days, she felt that she had lost a lot of weight.
"Sister, please ask whatever you want to ask. I have a clear conscience." Following Shen Qingwan's hand, Shen Lihan sat on the couch and spoke in a low voice. She had cried so much these days that her voice became hoarse.
"You said it wasn't your fault, but the emperor found your things in those people's hands. How do you explain this?" Shen Qingwan spoke only after Shen Lihan's emotions stabilized. But her eyes were always looking for the little princess.
She didn't know if the events of the past few days had frightened her, she was really a little worried. However, she hadn't seen her since then.
"You and I are both members of the harem. You must know the methods used in the harem. There are too many ways to harm people and too many ways to frame others. Although these things are mine, I don't know how they appeared and how the emperor happened to see them. Someone must have framed me!" Shen Lihan actually started crying as she spoke, causing Shen Qingwan to comfort her again.
Listening to what she said, Shen Qingwan was also thinking. According to her character, she would never do such a thing. She was too careless. And there were too many loopholes. Besides, even if she and the Queen Mother were eliminated, it would not be good for her.
"Okay, I got it. Sister, take a rest. I'll come back another day." She had asked everything she needed to ask. The most urgent thing was to go to the emperor and persuade him.
After coming out of Shen Lihan Palace, Shen Qingwan went straight to Fu Yuheng's Yangju Palace. Fu Yuheng frowned and blamed her for running around when her injury was not healed.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. But I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter. I have always been on good terms with Concubine De. I believe she would not do such a thing. The murderer may be someone else." Sitting next to Fu Yuheng, Shen Qingwan spoke seriously.
"Then according to your opinion, what should we do?" After hearing her words, Fu Yuheng nodded and pulled Shen Qingwan into his arms.
"Your Majesty, I want to investigate it myself. After all, that person wants to take my life." Without looking at Fu Yuheng, Shen Qingwan spoke calmly.
She always does things this way, and she always does things personally. She wants to know the good and the bad, and Fu Yuheng knows her character and agrees, "If you want to investigate, go ahead, but if you find out that it was Concubine De who did it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
With Fu Yuheng's support, Shen Qingwan hurriedly began to investigate. She started from the time they went to Fashan Temple to start the fire. If she guessed correctly, the fire was also set by that group of people. Seeing that she was not hurt, she chose to assassinate her on the way back to the palace.
"Lianyun, send someone to ask the abbot!" He put down the rice paper in his hand, feeling a little annoyed. He should have figured it out at the beginning.
Soon news came from Lianyun, but when she sorted out the clues at hand.
Unexpectedly, all the clues pointed to the queen. This surprised Shen Qingwan. If the queen did it, then what was her purpose? She felt a chill in her heart. Could the person beside her not stop her? What did she want? After thinking for a long time, she finally decided to tell Fu Yuheng.
"Okay, stop talking." However, Fu Yuheng interrupted her while she was listening, and his brows were tightly frowned, looking very upset.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qingwan looked at him puzzledly. Fu Yuheng felt upset and turned his back to the window.
He knew this matter was not simple, but he did not expect that the final clue would be the queen. So he felt annoyed and interrupted her. However, Shen Qingwan kept looking at his back.
"Don't investigate this matter anymore. Just leave everything to my people. What you need to do now is to recuperate and don't think too much." In the end, Fu Yuheng couldn't help but turn around and comfort Shen Qingwan.
"Yes, I obey your command." Although she was reluctant, Shen Qingwan still agreed. After all, she was just a concubine, but she was confused all the way from Yangju Palace.
The result came out very quickly, but Fu Yuheng reacted like this, which made her feel very depressed.
