Shen Qingwan didn't expect him to continue like this, and she couldn't think of how to thank him at the moment.
Before she could reply, she heard the gentle voice of the man beside her, with a hint of teasing, "How about giving yourself to me?"
For some reason, there was a hint of hope in his voice, as if she would really consider it. Shen Qingwan was stunned when she heard this, staring at him stupidly. Was he kidding her
Seeing his reaction, the smile on Quan's face melted again. She was indeed an interesting woman, worthy of his help several times. She had just escaped from danger and he didn't want to scare her again. He wiped away the amusement in the corner of his eyes and relaxed his tone, "I was just kidding you."
Her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, thinking to herself that she was really overthinking. Besides that, Shen Qingwan didn't know what to say to him and fell silent. Just saying thank you didn't seem to be able to express her gratitude.
After a while, a black man came over and asked, "Master, is everything settled?"
The man who called Quan the owner of the manor subconsciously glanced at Shen Qingwan who was following behind him, but he only stayed for a few seconds before looking away.
Quan nodded, "I still have some things to do, you go back first." He still needed to escort her back to the palace, otherwise he was really worried about her who had just escaped from danger. After hearing this, the man bowed respectfully and left.
Shen Qingwan was also deeply confused when she heard the conversation between the two. The owner of the manor? What was his identity? Why did he always save her from danger? Why did he always come to save her? She had many doubts in her mind, but she didn't ask too much. This was his privacy, and if he didn't want to talk about it, she couldn't bring it up.
Sure enough, Quan didn't mention what happened just now, but just said lightly, "I'll take you back."
Shen Qingwan wanted to refuse, but she didn't eat much, so she didn't have much strength. If she left him, she might be caught. Thinking of this, she nodded silently and agreed, "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Quan."
Such a man is like a banished immortal. His temperament can't help but make people impressed. He must not be an ordinary person, Shen Qingwan thought in her heart.
The two of them didn't say much along the way until Quan sent her to the palace gate, "Then I feel relieved." Nothing should happen after sending her to the palace gate, after all, that person should protect her.
Shen Qingwan glanced at him and suddenly took a step back, then bowed deeply and said sincerely, "I don't know what else to say to you except thank you. You have saved me many times. If you need me in the future, I will do my best to help you." This was the only promise she could make.
Quan smiled slightly, not expecting her to really take this to heart, "Okay."
Not far from the palace gate, a tall and handsome man was looking around in worry. Although this behavior was not in line with his status as a king, he was worried and could not care less. From a distance, he saw two figures getting closer and closer. Who else could one of them be but Shen Qingwan
With the corners of his mouth raised, he walked quickly towards her, "My beloved." There was a hint of urgency in his words. The person he hadn't seen for a few days seemed to have lost some weight. He wanted to pull her into his arms, but reason controlled him and he finally held back.
Shen Qingwan, who was still expressing her gratitude, raised her head in surprise when she heard the voice.
"Your Majesty." She called out in a somewhat foolish voice, and her eyes were slightly red, which was unusual for her. But she finally bowed politely and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Get up quickly." Fu Yuheng hurriedly helped her up, with relief in his eyes, "I feel relieved that you're back." These words seemed to contain a thousand pounds of worry and helplessness.
And now Quan, who was standing aside, always had a faint smile on his face. When Fu Yuheng's surprised eyes fell on him, he bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The moment he saw him, Fu Yuheng's dark eyes shrank, with a hint of surprise. Was it him who saved Shen Qingwan? There were too many questions he wanted to ask, but standing in front of the palace gate was inconvenient.
"Come with me into the palace first." He put one hand around Shen Qingwan's waist, as if he wanted to protect her in his arms, and his eyes always subconsciously softened when they met hers.
As he said this, he took the two of them into the palace. At first, she was a little confused as to why he would bring Quan directly into the palace, but when she thought that he was her savior, it seemed reasonable.
"Have you been wronged these past two days?" His voice was unconsciously filled with a hint of heartache, "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
I felt a little uncomfortable at first, but after hearing his comfort, I felt much better and even a little warm. "I am fine."
She was like this. Even if she was wronged, she was used to swallowing it. This made him feel even more distressed. He held her hand tightly, "I..." Looking into her eyes, his voice suddenly became a little dry, "I will compensate you well."
"I am really fine. Besides, it was my own carelessness that led to this fate. Your Majesty, there is no need to..."
"This is an imperial edict." He said seriously. Shen Qingwan chuckled when she heard it. The two of them acted as if no one was around and didn't seem to notice Quan behind them.
Fu Yuheng seemed to be talking a lot today. He still asked about her injuries with concern, "Are you injured?"
She shook her head. Although the maid seemed to have hatred towards her, she had never attacked her, so she was not injured. "Your Majesty, don't worry. They haven't attacked me yet and I'm not injured." Her voice was calm, but it sounded very comfortable.
"Go back and ask the imperial physician to see you, otherwise I will be worried." He insisted on doing so, so she didn't say anything else.
On the next stretch of the road, he asked some more questions about the past two days, and Shen Qingwan answered them one by one. Thinking of such a majestic and domineering man like him, who was so humble today and put down his status as an emperor, she felt warm in her heart.
"I'll send someone to take you back to the palace first, and I'll come to see you later." He summoned a eunuch and handed Shen Qingwan to him, and also reminded him to remember to summon the imperial physician to the palace to see her.
"I'll take my leave first." Before leaving, she did not forget to glance at Quan who was smiling gently, then turned around and followed the young eunuch.
When she walked away, Fu Yuheng's eyes were still on her, and he didn't look away until the figure was farther away. His eyes turned from gentle to gloomy, and he glanced at Quan behind him, "Let's go."
"Where is your Majesty taking me?"
He looked very pretty when he smiled, but Fu Yuheng just glanced at him indifferently, "Imperial Study."
After saying that, he left first. Fu Yuheng was very surprised to see Quan today. He was really surprised that he would come to the rescue.
Hearing this, Quan lowered his eyes and smiled, without saying anything, he raised his feet and followed.
