This time, Fu Huaiyu went to Jiangnan mainly for the elite soldiers of Jiangnan. With his eyes slightly narrowed, the light emanating from his peach blossom eyes made people shudder.
He originally wanted Shen Qingwan to stand in his camp, and even stand by his side in the future, but he didn't expect that she would reject him again and again.
It really is a disobedient chess piece.
Fu Huaiyu was playing with the only two black chess pieces in his hand. His hand slipped and one of the chess pieces fell to the ground, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
Oh…
"Zhu Yan, do you know what the consequences of disobeying me are?" Such words came out of nowhere from his mouth, causing the woman sitting opposite him to shudder all over.
"Of course they will be killed without mercy." Zhu Yan suppressed the panic in his heart and remained calm, answering his question indifferently.
Fu Huaiyu chuckled, "Killing without mercy, it's really hard to bear it..." There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, but it was obvious that he had no intention of giving up. Instead, he was more determined to win.
Seeing his expression, Zhu Yan smiled bitterly in her heart. There were probably not many people in the world who could make the prince feel reluctant. But it really made her jealous. She was slightly distracted for a moment, and then she felt a chill all over her body. Then she came back to her senses and saw Fu Huaiyu looking at her with a pair of peach blossom eyes, but there was a deep coldness in his eyes, "Go down and accept the punishment yourself."
Shuddering, Zhu Yan lowered her head and said, "Yes." At least for her, the prince would never be reluctant to let go.
In the imperial study, Fu Yuheng was concentrating on reading the memorials and reviewing them one by one.
Suddenly, a gust of wind passed by, and a man in black appeared silently beside Fu Yuheng. This man exuded a sharp aura, which made people afraid, but at this time he was waiting for Fu Yuheng with a respectful expression.
He put the one he had reviewed aside, picked up a new one and continued to read it, without even looking up, he asked, "Do you have anything to report?"
"Your Majesty, there has been a sudden flood in Jiangnan and the situation is critical. I hope Your Majesty can make a decision as soon as possible!" After the man finished reporting, he stood there again, motionless like a dead object.
Fu Yuheng's hand trembled slightly, and the brush in his hand slipped down. Jiangnan has always been peaceful and stable, but this time there was a sudden flood. I'm afraid that many people will be displaced again. With a sigh and a wave of his hand, the man retreated and disappeared.
Finally, after dealing with the affairs of state, Fu Yuheng ordered someone to summon Shen Qingwan. Firstly, he wanted to see her, and secondly, Shen Qingwan was extremely intelligent, and he wanted to see what solutions she had.
"Your Majesty, why are you so worried?" Fu Yuheng had been frowning since the beginning because of the flood, so Shen Qingwan asked.
"I heard that there was a flood in Jiangnan recently. The people are bound to suffer. I am very upset."
"Then the emperor should quickly send people to direct the management of the disaster, otherwise more people will be affected over time." Shen Qingwan was also worried when she heard this, and persuaded Fu Yuheng to send people to manage the disaster as soon as possible.
"If it's really as simple as you said, why should I worry about it?" Fu Yuheng shook his head, his brows still furrowed, with a look of helplessness on his face. The ministers in the court are all useless people who are good-for-nothings and no one is willing to take over such a mess.
"Your Majesty, don't you have a suitable candidate?" Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, Shen Qingwan quickly understood the problem.
Fu Yuheng nodded slightly, but his brows furrowed even more tightly, "The ministers in the court are all lazy and only care about food. There are only a few who can really be used."
Shen Qingwan hesitated for a moment, but suddenly she thought of something, and there was a bit more calculation in her eyes, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, there are people in the court who can be used."
"Oh?" Fu Yuheng looked at her in surprise, not knowing what she wanted to say.
"Isn't there still the Ninth Prince who can help the Emperor? I'm sure the Ninth Prince will be very happy to do so."
She said this purely for others to hear, but Fu Yuheng understood her purpose. He took this opportunity not only to deal with the flood in Jiangnan, but also to test Fu Huaiyu.
Fu Yuheng hesitated slightly. He also wanted to find an opportunity to test Fu Huaiyu, but now was not the time to alert the enemy.
However, testing him directly might arouse his suspicion, but if she used him at this time, he would be confused. No matter how smart he was, he would not be able to guess her intention.
However, there are still some concerns. After all, the affairs of Jiangnan are big and small, and still need to be considered carefully.
"I will think about this matter carefully." Fu Yuheng rubbed his aching eyebrows, feeling a little irritated.
Shen Qingwan didn't stay any longer. He still needed to think about it carefully. After all, all she could do was just give suggestions. The final decision was still up to him. Besides, based on her understanding of him, he would definitely do so.
After Shen Qingwan left, Fu Yuheng thought for a while. At this time, a carrier pigeon came in from outside the door, making a fluttering sound with its wings.
He took the letter off and unfolded it. The words written on it made him smile a little more. It seemed that this was God's will.
"Someone come here!" A majestic voice came out, and Sun Ning, who was waiting behind him, came in at this time.
"Your Majesty, is there anything you want me to do?" Sun Ning had a flattering smile on his face. He had noticed the smile that flashed across Fu Yuheng's face just now, so he knew that he was in a good mood.
Fu Yuheng picked up an imperial edict, wrote his order on it, and handed it to Sun Ning. "Send this imperial edict to the Ninth Prince of Jiangnan. Do it quickly and without delay!" The brilliance in Danfeng's eyes can't help but infect people, and the momentum of determination to win makes people want to surrender unconsciously.
Sun Ning took it and his face turned serious. He knew it must be an important matter, so he put away his playful look.
After Sun Ning left, a figure left the door and walked towards Shen Qingwan's yard. It was Xiao Man.
"How?" Shen Qingwan asked indifferently, as if she already knew the result.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has agreed." Xiao Man had a smile on her face and was even more respectful to her own queen.
She knew that Fu Yuheng would definitely do as she said, because this was the most appropriate approach. Now the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, if we don't lure the enemy out of its hole first, we will probably suffer even more.
"It seems that I should also give my father a heads up." Shen Qingwan smiled slightly and plucked the strings of the zither with her fingertips. The sounds were crisp and clear, but they were like hitting people's hearts. She felt as if her whole body was understood.
