In the huge Ninth Prince’s Mansion, in the hall, a man was sitting upright.
At this time, a guard came to report, and Fu Huaiyu let him in without hesitation. The guard saluted him, and he waved his hand with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, and said in a somewhat irritable tone, "Speak."
Seeing the fierce look in his peach blossom eyes, the guards did not dare to be vague and immediately began to report, "Your Majesty, I have found out that the rumors in the palace seem to have come from the palace of the virtuous concubine."
It was Consort Xian? It was her? A flash of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she was probably the only one in the palace who had the ability to find out and the courage to spread the rumor.
But rumors in the palace spread very quickly, and if they were not stopped, they would lead to fatal disasters.
Fu Huaiyu narrowed his peach blossom eyes dangerously and uttered a few words from his thin lips. "Is it credible?" He needed to be sure of the credibility of this matter. If it was really Shen Qingwan, he would have to think about it.
The guard said firmly, "Indeed."
"I know about this." Fu Huaiyu stood up with a gloomy face, and he had an idea in mind. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Since the news came from Shen Qingwan's palace, he would cut it off at the source.
Instead of sending someone to deliver the message, he went there in person.
Fu Huaiyu rushed all the way to Shen Qingwan's yard, and no one stopped him along the way, after all, he had a special identity.
"Ninth Prince?" Xiao Man just walked out of the palace gate and saw the aggressive Fu Huaiyu heading towards her own queen's palace. She hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Ninth Prince."
He had something urgent to do so he simply said "hmm" and walked straight ahead. Xiao Man felt something was wrong and stopped him.
Fu Huaiyu usually has a pair of bright and charming peach blossom eyes, but today he looks so serious, which makes people feel very suspicious.
"Where is the Ninth Prince going?" She stopped Fu Huaiyu and looked up into his peach blossom eyes and asked, "How can the Ninth Prince come in and out of the harem at will?"
Since he had already arrived at the palace, he was in no hurry, so he stopped and looked at the woman who stopped him. With a faint smile on his face, there was a trace of contempt in his eyes, "You are looking for the virtuous concubine."
"Does the Ninth Prince have an imperial edict? Trespassing into the harem is a serious crime." Xiao Man was not afraid of him. The little girls in the palace could easily be bewitched by his peach blossom eyes, but she was very clear-headed.
The more this happened, the more interested he became. He couldn't help laughing and reached out to hook her chin, but she dodged him.
The unexpected result made the contempt in his eyes even deeper, "Does the king still need to be controlled by you?"
"here it is… "
"Xiao Man." Before Xiao Man finished her words, she heard Lian Yun coming out of the middle hall and said in a serious tone, "Don't be rude."
The two people who were arguing were instantly attracted by the sound. Xiao Man, who was being taught a lesson, pouted unwillingly and stamped her feet in anger. However, Fu Huaiyu narrowed his peach blossom eyes, as if he wanted to see through Lian Yun's tricks.
Lianyun walked over step by step and bowed to him, "Greetings, Ninth Prince."
Her tone was steady and she was much more generous. She was a more difficult person to deal with than Xiao Man. Fu Huaiyu thought about it in his heart, but asked her to get up.
"Don't be angry, Ninth Prince. The virtuous concubine has strict palace rules and does not allow ordinary men to enter and leave the palace at will." Lianyun's temperament is somewhat similar to Shen Qingwan. She is calm and composed even when facing the Ninth Prince. "I hope the Ninth Prince will forgive me."
"But..." Xiao Man wanted to explain further, but was stopped by Lian Yun's low voice.
"Okay, let's get to work."
Xiao Man was somewhat reluctant but had no choice but to casually bow and leave the palace to do her business.
Seeing her back walking away, Lianyun glanced at Fu Huaiyu again, suppressing a hint of sarcasm in the corner of her eyes. The queen really had foresight. As soon as he entered the palace, she was sure that her queen was right.
If he was allowed to come in so easily, it would make him suspicious, so he arranged for Xiaoman to direct such a play.
"Aunt Lianyun is tactful after all." Fu Huaiyu's lips curled slightly, but he was also disdainful. To him, it was only natural for these people to be respectful to him.
But Lianyun did not respond to his words, and the ridicule in her heart became even stronger, "I wonder why the Ninth Prince is here?"
"I have something important to discuss with the virtuous concubine."
Lian Yun smiled faintly, "Since it is an important matter, I dare not delay it. But the queen is not in the main hall, but in the west wing."
Fu Huaiyu didn't doubt her words, and it was possible to go to the west wing, "I will go to find her myself." He had to see Shen Qingwan today no matter what. If she dared to spread rumors in the palace, she must have the courage to bear the price.
Hearing this, her smile deepened, revealing a sense of determination, "I will take the Ninth Prince there." As she spoke, she took the lead and sent Fu Huaiyu to the door of the west wing, "The queen is inside, I will take my leave first."
Fu Huaiyu smiled with satisfaction, this is a person who knows the current situation. After watching her leave, Fu Huaiyu opened the door, but he didn't notice that Lianyun didn't go far, but stopped at a corner not far away to listen and observe his movements.
He walked in, but found that there was a screen blocking his view. But from the reflection of the person on the screen, it was a woman, sitting there, motionless, just like Shen Qingwan's personality.
She didn't send a maid to stop him, but let him in. Could it be that she had expected that he would come to see her today? The more he thought about it, the tighter his brows frowned. Hearing footsteps outside, the woman behind the screen moved slightly, as if she tilted her head to identify who it was.
Fu Huaiyu did not hide it either. He quickened his pace, walked around the screen, and raised his lips in an evil way. A smile just appeared on his face and then disappeared completely.
"Why are you here?" Seeing that the woman sitting in front of him was actually Liu Churong, Fu Huaiyu's face turned stern and he also felt something strange in his body.
Hearing this, Liu Churong raised her eyes, only to find that her face was abnormally flushed, and there was a plate of pastries in front of her. Her pink lips were slightly open, and her eyes were stained with a hazy desire.
"Your Highness..." As soon as she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong. Why did her voice become so hoarse and even carry a hint of charm in it
"Why is it you instead of Concubine Xian?" He gradually realized something was wrong and asked, "Did she ask you to come here?"
How could it be such a coincidence? She appeared here, and I also appeared here, plus the rumors in the palace...
His head seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, his thoughts gradually drifted away, and his body was slowly tired. A feeling of powerlessness forced him to keep holding on.
At this time, Liu Churong also felt that the heat in her body was getting worse and worse. She urgently wanted something cool to relieve it and wanted to cling to the man in front of her, but he seemed to be about to lose his balance.
Fu Huaiyu finally felt dizzy and weak and fell down.
