But then he thought about what the abbot said that day. He didn't expect it would be so fast.
Seeing that she was fine, the man in white said no more and turned around to leave.
"May I know your name so that I can thank you someday?" Shen Qingwan said quickly, frowning slightly.
"Names are all floating clouds. My name is Quan. Please remember it, young lady." The man in white did not hesitate. He smiled lightly, turned around and left, leaving only a white afterimage.
Shen Qingwan was in danger. If the man in white hadn't rescued her, she would have been beaten to death by Fu Huaiyu. She felt very lucky about this, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her coming out. If it weren't for this adventure, she couldn't be sure that Fu Huaiyu was really related to the border incident.
Fu Yuheng in the deep palace obviously didn't understand this. Ever since the little palace maid told him that Shen Qingwan had sneaked out, he was so angry that he couldn't concentrate on the official duties at hand.
"Eunuch Sun, what do you think of this virtuous concubine?" Since he couldn't figure it out, he had to ask the people close to him. Although he was the emperor, there was only one person standing by his side all the time.
Eunuch Sun didn't know how to answer. After all, she was the emperor's concubine, so how could it be his turn to criticize her? He looked at Fu Yuheng in embarrassment, smiling.
"Don't be embarrassed, just tell the truth, I will forgive you." Seeing the embarrassment of Eunuch Sun, Fu Yuheng waved his hand and spoke. There were still many memorials in front of him, but he had no interest in reading them anymore. Now his heart and eyes were full of Shen Qingwan.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian is a very clear-headed person." Since Fu Yuheng had already said this, he had no choice but to speak. However, he still carefully considered his words.
"You, haha, you are the only one who is good at faking things." Upon hearing this, Fu Yuheng laughed and scolded. If Eunuch Sun could see it, how could he not see it
Shen Qingwan was a very smart woman, he knew that from the beginning. But her intelligence often made him feel worried. He had been suspicious of her for some time. That's why he sent people to keep an eye on her. He didn't expect that she would still do such a thing.
If the imperial concubine disguised herself as a man and visited a brothel, what would people say if they knew about it? Would the royal family still have the face of the emperor? Moreover, she only brought a maid with her. If something went wrong...
"Come with me out of the palace." Not daring to think any further, Fu Yuheng pointed at Eunuch Sun. He changed his clothes and when he came out, Eunuch Sun was also dressed like an ordinary person.
He had followed the emperor for so long, so he naturally understood his thoughts. He changed his clothes and went to see the virtuous concubine. Sure enough, the two of them went all the way to the brothel.
Fu Yuheng felt a little embarrassed when he looked at the brothel. Although he had been there before, this was his first time entering a brothel. He hoped that no one would recognize him. After hesitating for a moment, he thought of Shen Qingwan and gritted his teeth before going in.
Maybe it was because Fu Yuheng's aura was too strong, but no one in the brothel dared to stop him. Lian Yun, who had been normal since Shen Qingwan's disappearance, was also startled when she saw him and hurried over to salute.
"Where is your master?" Fu Yuheng didn't look at her, but only asked about Shen Qingwan's whereabouts. Lianyun was shaking violently. Shen Qingwan had been out for several hours, and she had looked around but didn't see anyone.
"Your Majesty, the Empress... Your Majesty, please come back to my room first." After saying that, he led the way back to the upper room. Disrespecting the Emperor means death, and losing the Empress is also death. It's the same either way.
However, when she arrived at the room, she saw Shen Qingwan was already in the room, and Shen Qingwan used her eyes to hint her not to say more.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Shen Qingwan stood up and bowed slightly, not even glancing at Fu Yuheng. The man in white had just left, luckily she came back in time, otherwise she didn't know what she would have to face.
Fu Yuheng also had a sullen expression on his face. He walked up to Shen Qingwan, hugged her and left, all the way in silence.
"Should you give me an explanation?" Fu Yuheng put Shen Qingwan down with a dark look in his eyes.
Shen Qingwan was not panicked at all, but was very calm. She had a clear conscience, so why should she be afraid of him? "I wonder what kind of explanation the emperor wants me to give him?" She smiled faintly, but it was less distant.
Fu Yuheng was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his fists and frowned, "I saw the Ninth Prince go out before you, do you still want to tell me that you have nothing to do with him?" He punched the pillar, and the anger in his heart seemed to burst out of his eyes.
"Is this how Your Majesty views me?" Shen Qingwan sneered, feeling it was a bit ironic. She had done so much for him, but she didn't expect that he still thought of her like this. "Is it possible that Your Majesty doesn't even dare to trust the person next to him?" Shen Qingwan shook her head slightly.
Perhaps, she really had hidden too much from him, which led to this misunderstanding.
After hearing her words, Fu Yuheng felt that the anger in his heart calmed down inexplicably. Originally, he didn't particularly doubt her, but she had been involved with Fu Huaiyu again and again, and she had been hot and cold towards him these days, which made him feel out of his control and he felt extremely depressed.
Now that I have calmed down and thought about her personality, I feel that she should never be such a person. But I also have doubts in my heart, so what is she doing
"I... I was rash. Please tell me what happened." Fu Yuheng paused, but his tone became much better.
Seeing that his anger had mostly subsided, Shen Qingwan slowly spoke, "I do have a relationship with the Ninth Prince." After she finished speaking, the air around them became a little colder, but Fu Yuheng did not interrupt her, but motioned for her to continue.
"Your Majesty, do you know that the Ninth Prince has saved my life time and again?" She stared at Fu Yuheng with a half-smile in her eyes. The Ninth Prince did save her several times, but this nominal husband had doubted her several times in a row, which was quite ironic.
Fu Yuheng was stunned when he heard this. Apart from the time when Fu Huaiyu pleaded for her, he really didn't know if there was any other time.
Shen Qingwan told the story slowly and only then did he know that Fu Huaiyu had actually saved her three times.
"Are you in love with him because of this?" Fu Yuheng frowned, but his eyes showed abnormal aggrieved and lost look. He smiled when he saw Shen Qingwan.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. I am already your woman, so how could I fall in love with someone else? But this Ninth Prince is not as simple as he seems." Shen Qingwan shook her head, her eyes becoming deep.
Fu Yuheng was stunned. He had never paid much attention to his ninth brother, so he was very surprised to hear Shen Qingwan say this. After all, on the surface, Fu Huaiyu was just an idle prince. How could there be anything complicated about him
