"This..." Shen Qingwan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that he would find out.
General Shen frowned, suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward, "It's just right, you come out to the study with your father, I have something to ask you." After saying that, he pulled her forward regardless of anything.
Shen Qingwan was a little confused for a moment. Now that the matter of Fu Huaiyu was over, and he didn't have too many things to deal with, what did he have to ask her
I walked in the direction he was going, all the way to the study.
"The injuries you suffered a few days ago should have almost healed." As soon as he opened his mouth, she was stunned.
Could it be that he already knew about her assassination a few days ago? But why didn't he ask her at the time, but only remembered it now? But if that wasn't the case, she wouldn't have any other injuries on her body. "Yeah." But she still responded lightly. The injuries on her body were indeed almost healed, and this couldn't be faked.
"That's good." General Shen nodded, but his expression showed no emotion, which made her feel a little nervous, but then she heard him continue: "Do you still know that I am your father?" At this time, his face suddenly became serious, and his voice fell heavily, which made people's hearts tremble.
Shen Qingwan suddenly raised her head and stared at him. She didn't know what she was feeling, but she nodded anyway.
"In that case, why do you have to hide everything from your husband?" She sighed slightly, and her expression softened again. He did not mean to blame her, but seeing how strong and forbearing he was, he felt distressed as a father.
"My daughter was inconsiderate..." She spoke quietly, her eyes slightly reddened. Now she understood that her father was just worried about her.
He reached out and grasped her fair wrist, asking her to sit next to him, "Tell your father honestly, have you been safe in the palace recently?" The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were twisted together, making him look a little older.
She opened her mouth, but in the end, she said nothing, and her eyes became a little dim.
Is it safe? As one of the four concubines, she should be very safe, but in fact, she is in danger. Not only does she have to consider the threats from the harem, but she also has to be vigilant about the changing situation in the court. As a concubine, she is almost busier than the emperor.
Seeing her like this, General Shen had already guessed the answer, but there was nothing he could do. "You have to be careful with the Queen. A woman without any background to rely on who can become the Queen must be no easy task." Thinking of what the servant had reported a few days ago, he finally expressed his concerns.
"My daughter will handle it carefully." She knew that Hsiao Shushen was not as simple as she seemed, but she just didn't want to pay attention to her unless she provoked her.
"Have you ever thought that the assassin might be the Queen's man?" As soon as these words fell, the atmosphere around them suddenly became serious, mixed with some heaviness.
"Empress..." To be honest, she had never thought that this test might be done by Xiao Shushen. After all, she had not provoked her in any way during this period of time. Moreover, given her forbearance, she would not be so reckless. But now that General Shen mentioned it, she had to rethink it.
"Alas, silly child..." General Shen reached out and patted her shoulder, his eyes filled with helplessness, "Do you know that not everyone in this world has their own reasons? There are always some people who would rather sacrifice many innocent people for their own path?"
"This..." His words made her gasp and her eyes evasive. Although she was more knowledgeable than the average woman, she was a woman after all. Moreover, she had grown up in the general's mansion and did not have that kind of intrigue.
"Forget it. You can experience these things slowly by yourself." Seeing her confused look, he said no more and changed the subject, "Where does the smell of blood on your body come from? I know for myself that it is not from your own wounds."
"I was just bandaging the wound of an old friend. Does father know what kind of villas there are in this world?" Not knowing his identity for a long time, she wanted to try her luck and see if her father knew anything.
Sure enough, General Shen nodded and said, "I do know a few. The most famous one is Moyou Villa. The owner of the villa is famous for always wearing a white shirt."
"Father, do you know his name?" Her breathing became rapid, but she still suppressed the excitement in her heart.
Is it him
"One word, one right."
Shen Qingwan's eyes widened suddenly, and she seemed a little bit unbelievable. She had always been curious about his identity, but now that he asked her so easily, she felt that she couldn't accept it. But in the end, she nodded, "My daughter is a little tired, so I'll go to rest first."
After she left, General Shen sat down suddenly, his eyes and brows seemed to be full of confusion.
Was sending her to the palace the best choice
In the palace's laundry room, two young palace maids were whispering to each other. Qiu Shui happened to come to get washed clothes for Li Ruotong. Seeing this, she was curious and went over.
"What are you guys talking about so happily?"
The two young palace maids were surprised to see her coming, but when they saw that she had no intention of scolding them, they stopped being on guard and told her everything that had just been discussed.
"We told you not to tell anyone else, otherwise you will lose your life." The little palace maid was still a little worried after she said this, and made special instructions.
Qiu Shui suppressed his surprise, agreed, and left quickly.
"My queen, my queen!"
Qiu Shui ran in in a panic, and Li Ruotong grabbed her arm, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?" She was thinking about Lin Feng's birthday which was coming soon, and what gift to give him, but she didn't expect to be interrupted by her, and her brows frowned almost invisibly.
"Your Majesty, I just heard from other palace maids that before the Ninth Prince was caught, he had an affair with the Second Miss of the Liu Mansion!" She looked mysterious.
However, to Li Ruotong, since he was already dead, she didn't think much of it. "So what?"
"Eh?" Qiu Shui blinked in confusion. It seemed so! He was already a dead man, so what else was there to discuss? Thinking of this, he finally lowered his head in dismay.
But suddenly, he felt a pain on his head, "Ouch!" He covered his head and looked at Li Ruotong with some dissatisfaction. But seeing that she was smiling happily, he just muttered in dissatisfaction, "The Queen is the worst."
