After seeing off Liu Churong and Concubine De, Shen Qingwan felt much more relaxed. Since being kidnapped and brought back to the palace, her ears have never been quiet. She welcomes the third princess to come and play, after all, she likes children, but the others seem a bit noisy.
"My Lady, please don't be so willful anymore. I can't protect you..." Lianyun was very happy to see that she was safe and sound, but she also felt a little guilty. She had wanted to congratulate Shen Qingwan for a long time, but there were always people here, so she couldn't open her mouth.
Logically, she was a maid and should have protected Shen Qingwan. But she forgot everything because of a little food and ended up getting her kidnapped. She always blamed herself.
Shen Qingwan also saw Lianyun's emotions and smiled indifferently, "It's okay because you are lucky. But it's unlucky that you have been arrested several times. This can't be blamed on you. This shows that I, your queen, am more important."
He didn't kill her, nor did he hurt her at all. He knocked her out and took her away the day she left the palace. So this person must be very scheming and had been planning for a long time. She couldn't hide from him. Moreover, she still couldn't figure out who it was and why.
"Don't be sad, it's not your fault." Seeing Lianyun crying and trying to speak, Shen Qingwan quickly stopped her. She was never good at comforting people, and she had other things to do now.
Being stopped from speaking by Shen Qingwan, Lianyun could only lower her head and look at the ground, sobbing softly.
"Okay, stop crying." Shen Qingwan pulled the corner of her mouth helplessly when she saw this, "Go find Concubine Shu, she must be worried too." The two of them have similar personalities and can talk about personal matters.
As expected, when they entered the yard, Wu Ling had been waiting for a long time. She was very happy to see her coming. "I'm relieved to see that you're okay." As she said that, she pulled Shen Qingwan to sit down. In front of them were her favorite pastries.
In this deep palace, the only person she could speak her heart to was Shen Qingwan. Although she had been in the palace for many years and Fu Yuheng was quite indulgent, no one understood her after all, so he cherished her as a friend very much.
"I'm so sorry to bother you, sister." Listening to her sincere concern, Shen Qingwan felt very warm in her heart. Didn't she also regard her as her friend
The two women looked at each other and smiled. They understood each other without saying much. When she came, Wu Ling was playing the piano, so she didn't do anything else but just exchanged her piano skills.
"Sister's piano skills seem to have improved again." After the song ended, Concubine Shu couldn't help but praise her. She just smiled faintly but also had a sense of pride. She was glad that she came back safely. Perhaps because of this, she had some enlightenment in her heart.
Wu Ling noticed the sadness in her eyes and couldn't help asking, "Sister, what happened? You were fine just now, but suddenly you remembered something." She was sure that it was most likely because she was kidnapped.
Shen Qingwan nodded and told him her thoughts and some details of being locked in the wooden house. Wu Ling frowned when she heard this, "This is really strange, why did they take my sister away?" After hearing this, she asked the same question as her, and she really couldn't figure it out. A concubine was kidnapped, which was already a horrifying thing.
Shen Qingwan was rescued safely, which was a good thing for them, but for Fu Huaiyu, it was an absolute bad thing.
Who is that man in white
"Who on earth has such ability?" He asked himself this question at least four or five times, but he couldn't figure out who it could be.
"What are you thinking about, Your Highness? Why are you so upset? This is the stomach-nourishing porridge that I made for you today. Please drink it, Your Highness." Wen Ling saw that Fu Huaiyu was upset and had already made up her mind, but in front of him, she still had to appear gentle.
When he saw Wen Ling, he didn't lose his temper, but the darkness in his eyes was creepy, "It's nothing, just a little upset. You are thoughtful to prepare these for me every day." Taking the stomach-nourishing porridge, Fu Huaiyu raised a smile.
Wen Ling stood beside him and watched him drink it before she felt relieved. The plan seemed to be going more and more smoothly, which was exactly what she wanted.
"It's just that I don't know why these days, I always feel irritated." After standing for a while, Fu Huaiyu spoke again. I don't know why these days, I always get angry easily.
"Maybe it's because of the weather. It's always like this in early spring." Wen Ling smiled and said, but she knew exactly why. After listening to her explanation, he nodded in agreement. The weather was getting warmer, and it seemed that the room was starting to get a little stuffy.
And even if he felt annoyed now, it was useless. Everything needed to be considered in the long run. He still couldn't bear to hurt Shen Qingwan. But Fu Yuheng, the emperor, was not necessarily the same.
Fu Huaiyu felt relieved after receiving Wen Ling's comfort, but Prime Minister Liu of the Prime Minister's Mansion was a little surprised that he had not made any moves in the past few days, and there was not even anyone to pass on the message.
Prime Minister Liu picked up the case in his hand and put it down again, and there seemed to be two more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
But there is still good news after all. Shen Qingwan has stopped holding on to the matter of Minister Wu recently. Otherwise, she might really be implicated. Once his false accusation of Minister Wu is discovered, I'm afraid Fu Yuheng will not let him go so easily. After all, this is such a good opportunity.
By then, I will probably end up like Minister Wu. It’s really scary to think about it.
"Master, there is new news outside." Just as he was thinking about it, the butler hurried in and whispered a few words into Prime Minister Liu's ear.
"Okay, got it." Prime Minister Liu nodded after hearing this. Shen Qingwan is really lucky. However, the only person who dares to do this is probably that one person, the unknown Ninth Prince.
"Has there been any news from the Imperial Concubine in the past few days?" Staring at the housekeeper's eyes, Prime Minister Liu felt a little impatient. His daughter was always causing trouble for him, but she was his own flesh and blood after all, and Fu Yuheng still needed her to keep him in check.
“No, it’s just…” The butler’s eyes were wandering, as if he had something to hide.
Prime Minister Liu was a little confused and waved his hand to signal him to continue.
"This old servant has noticed that the Second Miss seems to be very close to the Ninth Prince these days." He rubbed his hands, the meaning of which was self-evident.
This news was somewhat unexpected. In his impression, his second daughter had always been a low-key person. Apart from showing her talent at the last poetry meeting, she really had no sense of presence. Now, something seemed to be different.
