"But did you see the man's appearance clearly?" Fu Yuheng walked up to her and was a little annoyed. She was really brave. Although the assassination was carried out in the harem, there seemed to be quite a few parasites.
Shen Qingwan shook her head, "No." Because there was no candle, it was dark in front of her. In addition, the man was probably still wearing a veil, so she could only vaguely see his figure. "And he looks like a hired assassin. Even if we know his appearance, he has probably escaped from the palace by now."
"Hmm." The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. The imperial physician also rushed over at this time. When he saw the injured person, he felt quite helpless. Is it this guy again
She seemed to have guessed his thoughts and just smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your trouble." After she said this, the imperial physician felt a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty!" At this time Lin Feng came in from outside and bowed to Fu Yuheng.
"How?" He frowned slightly and asked about the result.
Lin Feng shook his head and said, "It seems that the man has a thorough plan. As soon as he left the yard, he quickened his pace and disappeared in a few turns. It seems that he is very familiar with the roads in the palace." It's strange to say, with their kung fu, it should not be difficult to catch a petty thief, but this man is very slippery and uses the terrain of the palace very skillfully.
"Your Majesty, can I go back to the general's mansion to stay for a few days?" Shen Qingwan took a look at the wound that had been bandaged and suggested. In this harem, one has to be careful everywhere and she is physically and mentally exhausted these days.
Hearing this, his face turned slightly colder, but at this time the imperial physician actually spoke up to help, "Your Majesty may have been too tired these days, and your body is already very weak. If you stay in the palace, it may not be conducive to the recovery of your wounds."
Shen Qingwan has always had a good reputation in the palace, and the people in the Imperial Physician's Office knew it. Seeing her so tired, even he felt pity for her.
Pursing her lips, Fu Yuheng was still a little reluctant, but seeing her pale face, she finally nodded in compromise, "Well, you can stay in the general's mansion for the next few days. When your injury gets better in a few days, I will send someone to pick you up."
Hearing him say this, she gave him a look of gratitude. It was indeed a bit difficult for him. He must have felt bad these days.
The next day, escorted by the guards, she finally returned to the general's mansion.
When General Shen saw her, he was obviously a little surprised and couldn't figure out why she came back.
"Father..." Shen Qingwan's call brought him back to his senses. At this moment, she was like a child who had not been home for a long time. With tears in her eyes, she threw herself into his arms.
"You..." General Shen was choking on the words he had just spoken. He looked at the person in his arms somewhat at a loss, but his eyes were slightly moist.
It had been a long time since she had been so close to him like a child. Ever since she was old enough to understand, she had always been like a lady from a noble family and had not shown such a childish side for a long time.
He reached out and gently stroked her back, "But did the emperor blame you?"
After all, he was in the palace, so he had to think so.
But Shen Qingwan raised her head in his arms, "No, it's just that my daughter missed you." With a shy look unique to women, she rubbed against his arms. She saw the worry on Lianyun's face from the corner of her eye and gave her a warning look.
General Shen didn't notice anything unusual about her and just told his servants to make some preparations.
Back in the room, Lianyun closed the door and looked at her reproachfully, "My Lady!"
"Keep your voice down..." He glared at her without surprise, and still slowly unbuttoned his coat, revealing the cloth inside that had long been stained with blood. "If I don't do that, how can I make my father feel at ease?"
What she said was indeed reasonable, but Lianyun was still obviously a little dissatisfied. "General, you are like this, I really don't feel sorry for you, but has Your Majesty ever thought about me?" Her little mouth was slightly pouted, with some grievance in her eyes.
Shen Qingwan opened her mouth slightly, somewhat blaming herself for her negligence, but she was also very touched by her actions.
"Okay, I get it. I won't do this again." Seeing her pitiful look at her, she had no choice but to agree obediently.
Lianyun then breathed a sigh of relief and went forward to help her re-bandage the wound. She accidentally used a little too much force, causing Shen Qingwan to gasp again. "Do you feel the pain now?" She only said this, but her hands moved a little lighter.
Shen Qingwan smiled helplessly at this. She knew that she was worried about her, so she didn't blame her.
At this moment in the study, General Shen was sitting at the desk with a strange expression on his face, tapping the table with his fingers, as if he was waiting for something.
At this time, a servant came in from outside. He was well-trained and behaved very well. "General."
"Has there been any news from the palace?" General Shen waved his hand to let him stand up. His fingertips paused and his eyes became very sharp.
After all, he has been a general for so long, it is impossible that he does not have even one confidant. Even though he has been stripped of his position now, there are still a few spies in the palace, but they will never be used unless it is necessary.
"General, it was said that the queen was stabbed by an assassin, so she came back to recuperate." The servant spoke slowly without a trace of emotion.
"Assassin?" He suddenly slammed the table and stood up, with a look of anger on his face, "But how can we find out who did it?" His pupils contracted and his eyes turned red.
"No." The servant said, lowering his head, "Even the emperor doesn't have any clues." He had asked people to inquire, but the assassin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. There has been no news since then, and there is no sign at all. Even Fu Yuheng has been very worried these days.
"Hmph! Go check again!" His eyes were bloodshot. Even though he didn't show much concern for her on weekdays, in fact, the relationship between father and daughter was very good.
"Yes." The servant accepted the order, but then he thought of something and said, "General, there is one more thing I am not sure if I should tell you."
Hearing this, he looked at him again and said, "Just say whatever you want to say." As long as it was about Shen Qingwan, it was very important to him.
"I have found out that the Empress has always been somewhat hostile to Your Majesty. I wonder..." The servant seemed to be a little hesitant. In fact, he guessed that the assassination might have been done by Xiao Shushen, but he had no evidence.
"Queen?" He rubbed his brows. This person was quite tricky. "Forget it, you go down first." He had heard before that Xiao Shushen had done a favor to Fu Yuheng. If it was really her doing, he would be in trouble.
