"Qing Ling, what are you doing?" It was already midnight. Lian Yun saw Qing Ling squatting beside the rockery from afar. It seemed that he was burning something. The flames flickered and devoured everything with their fangs and claws.
She walked over, but the man who was burning something with his head down didn't react at all, which made Lianyun feel a little scared. After all, it was the middle of the night and it was really weird.
"Qing Ling?" He called out carefully again, and the woman squatting beside him raised her head. Under the light of the fire, the scar on her face made people feel even more uneasy.
"Ah!" She was startled by the sudden raising of her head and couldn't help but scream.
"What's wrong?" Qing Ling frowned when she saw her like this, as if she was somewhat dissatisfied with her reaction.
"What are you doing? You should know that no one is allowed to burn things in the palace." Lian Yun rubbed his elbow that was accidentally bumped just now, and then pointed at the residue that had just been burned.
At this point, the woman in front of him was obviously unhappy, but she finally explained, "Today is the anniversary of my uncle's death."
She cleared her throat and explained, but her face was a little pale, which seemed even more frightening in the night.
She also noticed the panic on Lianyun's face and smiled self-deprecatingly. Her face was really disgusting.
Seeing her reaching out to touch the scar on her face, Lianyun realized that she had overreacted. She turned around to comfort her. After a long time, the two of them went back together.
Looking at Lianyun's back in a daze, I don't know whether I should say that this girl is silly or that she is too naive.
People like her really can't understand why she can be so kind to everyone and why she can care so much about everyone.
She shook her head and put this seemingly unrealistic idea behind her. She still had things to do and couldn't waste her time on such unimportant things.
He turned his head to look at the pile of ashes that had just burned, and finally walked in the opposite direction.
Early the next morning, Lianyun told Shen Qingwan everything that happened last night. Although she didn't know why he did that, she knew that if she really had difficulties, her mother would definitely help her.
But after Shen Qingwan heard what she said, her brows furrowed even deeper. Even if her guess was true, she must be mourning someone.
Thinking back, it seemed that she had mentioned before that an uncle had died a violent death, so I guess she was mourning him.
"Go and give these silver coins to Qing Ling." He reached out and took out a few silver ingots from his arms and handed them to Lian Yun.
She did have some sympathy for her life experience, but after all, it was her life and she had no right to interfere. All she could do was lend a helping hand when she needed it.
But unexpectedly, Qing Ling returned the silver at noon, which made Shen Qingwan frown.
When people want to do something, they always have a purpose. If the purpose is not money, then what is it
Staring at her back, the doubt in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.
"My beloved, what are you looking at here?" Fu Yuheng's slightly magnetic voice sounded from behind her. She shook her head subconsciously, but was stunned for a moment, and her eyes darkened.
"Nothing." There was a hint of sadness in his tone, but it was naturally noticed by the people behind him.
"Hehe." A low laugh came from her ears, and then she felt a pair of warm big hands wrapped around her body, making her body stiffen instantly. She seemed to be a little resistant, but she did not struggle in the end.
"It was my fault a few days ago." Unexpected words suddenly reached her ears, which surprised her. Was he apologizing to her? His body gradually softened, and even his eyes were slightly red.
In fact, she didn't want to stay in this stalemate, but her pride since childhood prevented her from falling into the deep swamp.
But now, he could even bow his head in front of her, and the string that was originally tightly stretched in her mind was instantly torn apart. He couldn't explain his feelings clearly.
"Are you still angry?" He rubbed her cheek. He seemed a little different today, but he was unexpectedly very touching.
Shen Qingwan lowered her head, not knowing how to answer.
But in the end, he chose to forgive her. After all, she did have selfish motives in that matter, and he couldn't be blamed for his doubts.
Shaking their heads, the two finally reconciled.
Knowing that she was investigating Qing Ling's background recently, he was willing to help.
"She suddenly appeared there half a year ago, but no one had ever heard of her existence before." He sat down with her, resting his chin lazily on his hand, his almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed at this moment, but with an indescribable charm.
He was extremely domineering, but his appearance was tough, yet gentle. This made her look a little crazy, and she only reacted after hearing his words.
At this moment, a fallen leaf fell on his shoulder. She reached out to take it off for him, but he grabbed her hand suddenly.
"My dear, do you miss me?" There was suddenly some ambiguity in his tone, which made her blush.
"Your Majesty, please don't tease me." She lowered her eyes and dared not look at him, but he was picked up by the waist and finally walked into the bedside.
They hadn't had a good sleep that night, but the barrier between them was finally broken.
"Your Majesty, you look very good today." Lianyun smiled with her hands covering her lips, with a hint of shyness on her face.
"You are so brave that you even dare to tease your queen!" There was a smile in his words, and there was no trace of the sadness from the past few days.
Fu Yuheng was in an unexpectedly good mood today, and appeared cheerful and amiable during the morning court session.
"Do you have any objections, my dear ministers?" The issue of Bianliang City has been resolved, but since it was her idea, she naturally deserves a reward.
The ministers below looked at each other in bewilderment. Although it was a bit inappropriate for a woman to do this, it was indeed thanks to her. For a moment, they were a little undecided and fell silent.
"Since my dear ministers have nothing to say, then the matter is settled. If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please adjourn the court." He stood up from the dragon throne, turned around and left in a good mood.
The ministers were a little confused. What good thing happened today that made him so happy? But the fact that he was not angry was the greatest blessing to them. Therefore, they did not investigate further and just knelt on the ground.
"Farewell, His Majesty!"
