After Hua Xiangwei learned about Fu Mochen's news, she felt relieved. She had met him before. On the second day after he returned to the palace, Meng'er accidentally bumped into him, which made him unhappy. He didn't care about her face at all and punished Meng'er with twenty strokes on the spot.
You have to know that it was twenty lashes of cane, and even now Meng'er still limps when she walks.
"Hmph, this is all retribution." She reached out to light the incense beside her, took a deep breath, and then let out a long exhale.
It was not easy to get rid of Liu Churong in the harem, but she didn't expect that Shen Qingwan would be a bigger trouble. She had underestimated her before.
He stared at the incense in front of him, watching the smoke slowly rising from it. He reached out his hand and grabbed a handful of the air, then slowly let go, but there was nothing.
"It's really unpleasant." She muttered in a low voice, with a bit more calculation in her eyes. Her pair of watery almond eyes were slightly raised. At this moment, she no longer had the gentleness and generosity of the past. What she had was a ruthless determination to get rid of the obstacles in front of her.
"Meng'er, go and deliver this to the Queen." He reached out and took a box, and inside was a night pearl!
This time she had made a huge investment, she had to bring her down! There was a bit more cruelty in her eyes, and a shadow was cast under her long eyelashes.
Seeing her like this, Meng'er couldn't help but shudder all over, and even her vision shrank a little, but she still took the box from her hand and held it carefully in her palm.
Following her orders, it took her about half an incense stick of time to reach the Fengluan Palace, but she was a little hesitant.
The place where she was injured by Fu Mochen a few days ago was still painful, reminding her all the time how difficult it was to deal with that man.
But there was no other way, so I had to bite the bullet and move forward.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" But he was stopped by Aunt Gui.
Meng'er explained her purpose and was let in. When she came out, her legs were still shaking.
The pressure from Hsiao Shu-shen left her with lingering fears, but fortunately she was not made difficult by it.
"Is the Crown Prince feeling better?" Not long after Meng'er left, Fu Yuheng came over to ask. After all, he was his son, so he couldn't just ignore him. But he still knew that the cakes would not do him any harm, so he didn't look worried at all.
"In reply to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is almost well now." Nanny Gui answered truthfully, but she felt angry when she thought that Fu Mochen became like this after going to Shen Qingwan.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" He knelt on the ground with a plop and kept knocking his head on the ground, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
But at this moment, she didn't notice that Fu Yuheng's expression had changed. He already knew that the pastry had no harm, so how could he punish Shen Qingwan
"Enough!" Seeing her appearance, he became more and more impatient. He could not suppress his anger and shouted directly. Aunt Gui, who was kneeling on the ground, could not help but tremble all over. She raised her head and looked at him in surprise, but then she reacted and just lowered her head and trembled.
"What's going on? Why is the emperor so angry?" Xiao Shushen naturally heard the noise outside and couldn't help feeling a little strange, so she came out to see what was happening. Unexpectedly, she saw this scene.
Subconsciously, she thought that it was Nanny Gui who made him angry, so she bowed gently and said gently, "If Nanny Gui did anything to displease the emperor, I would naturally punish her. But if she didn't commit a big mistake, please forgive her this time because she has been with me for such a long time." She turned her head and glanced at her, but when she looked back, she still looked dignified and generous.
Fu Yuheng rubbed his brows in displeasure. He had not been in a good mood these days. Now that she had made such a fuss, he became even more annoyed. "Forget it, I have already found out about the Crown Prince's ceremony, so there is no need to delve into it further. Don't mention this matter again in the future." He waved his hand and stopped looking at the two of them. He walked in on his own.
She came to see Fu Mochen today. As for the drama of deep affection between master and servant, she didn't like to watch it.
"How is your health?" He walked to his bed and asked him. Fu Mochen originally struggled to get up, but he was pushed down by him.
"Do you blame her?" After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, but the words he said stunned the little person in front of him. He knew he was talking about Shen Qingwan, but at this time he didn't know how to answer.
Is it strange? It should be strange. After all, he suffered so much, and a large part of it might be because of eating that cake. Moreover, she displeased her mother, so he should blame her. But for some reason, when he thought of the way she looked at him calmly that day, he couldn't hate her.
That's why he nodded, and then shook his head.
Fu Yuheng just sighed lightly when he saw him like this. After all, he was just a child and might not know about the disputes in the harem!
He stretched out his hand and rubbed his head, with some kindness in his eyes. It was not that he disliked this son, but he was just unwilling to express anything. Xiao Shushen was a little doting on him. If he was not strict, how could he bear the responsibility of the prince in the future!
"You should know that you should not get involved in the affairs of the harem. In the future, spend more time on practicing and don't neglect your studies." He didn't say much else. Even if he did, he probably didn't care much, so he just gave a few instructions.
"Your Majesty, will you not stay a few more hours?" Xiao Shushen saw him turning around to leave and looked at him expectantly.
But he just replied, "No, I have important things to do." Then he left without looking back.
He felt a little lost in his heart, and even his face was a little distorted. His nails were deeply embedded in the palms of his hands, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
Why didn't he ever mention official business when he went to that bitch's place
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Fu Mochen, who was watching her from the side, naturally noticed her abnormality and asked with concern, his little head looking around, as if looking for the source of her displeasure.
Xiao Shushen then remembered that he was still by her side. She put away the expression on her face and returned to her usual gentleness. "It's okay, my son, don't worry."
But although he said this, he felt very unwilling in his heart.
Shen Qingwan, one day, I will make it impossible for you to stay in this harem!
The calmness on his face concealed the viciousness in his heart, just like the mandala, extremely poisonous.
