Xiao Shushen was the queen after all, how could she, a concubine who didn't like to compete for favor, be better than her? Moreover, she was pregnant now, so it was inevitable that Fu Yuheng would care about her. And she knew what Lianyun wanted to say, it was nothing more than some caring words.
Shen Qingwan actually knew these words, but she still felt sad in her heart. "Forget it, let's go back." After playing the zither for a while, Shen Qingwan no longer had any interest in going back. Instead of thinking about it like this, she might as well go back and read a book.
"Yes." Lianyun stepped forward to support Shen Qingwan and wanted to go back. This emperor is really going too far. He is always nice to the queen, but slowly he favors other concubines. She feels unhappy when she sees this.
After Shen Qingwan returned to her room, she actually picked up the book and started reading, but she couldn't finish reading because she had something on her mind. In fact, she also cared about it, didn't she? But what was the point of caring
"Your Highness, Concubine Qi is here." Lianyun suddenly came in and spoke while she was reading. Shen Qingwan was startled and quickly let someone in. Li Ruotong seemed to have rarely come here recently. I wonder what she came for today.
If she came, she could probably talk to her about something happy, and maybe she would feel better. But Li Ruotong came in with red eyes, and she looked aggrieved, which made her feel very strange.
"I made some pastries today, which are your favorite ones. You came at the right time, so I don't have to ask Lianyun to deliver them. Lianyun, please bring them over for Concubine Qi to try." Holding Li Ruotong's hand, Shen Qingwan spoke gently.
Usually, Li Ruotong would be very excited when she heard about food, but today, she showed no reaction at all. Lianyun felt strange but still went out.
"Tell me, what's wrong? Why do you have such an expression? Did someone bully you?" Although Li Ruotong was not favored in the harem, she would not be bullied. After all, Fu Yuheng was very indulgent towards her.
"No, no one bullied me." Li Ruotong shook her head but couldn't help crying. This was even more painful than if someone bullied her.
Lianyun brought the snacks and looked at Li Ruotong, who looked a little helpless. She left only after Shen Qingwan's signal. She had originally wanted Concubine Qi to make her own queen happy, but now it seemed impossible.
"Then tell your sister what happened?" Seeing Li Ruotong crying, Shen Qingwan spoke with some heartache.
"Sister, Lin Feng hasn't come to see me for several days." Li Ruotong spoke, still because of Lin Feng. Only this man could make her so sad.
Shen Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Maybe he is busy." She didn't think it was a big deal. Li Ruotong burst into tears after hearing this.
"No, I saw him and a palace maid getting very close these days. He always smiled so happily, but he just didn't come to see me." She thought he was busy at first, but it's been so long...
Although she didn't see the palace maid's appearance clearly, she couldn't have mistaken Lin Feng's happy look.
"Sister, do you think Lin Feng doesn't like me and likes other women?" Holding Shen Qingwan's hand, Li Ruotong's eyes were full of doubts.
"No." Shen Qingwan shook her head. As far as she knew, Lin Feng was not such a fickle playboy. It is said that those who are involved are confused while those who are not involved can see things clearly. Li Ruotong is in this state now.
"But sister, he really hasn't come to see me for several days. Not even a letter. This has never happened before." Li Ruotong still spoke in disbelief. How could it suddenly become like this
In the past, Lin Feng would come to see her every day and tell her about the interesting things that happened in the palace. Then the two of them would sit together until Lin Feng had to leave. Now it has been several days, and Li Ruotong feels more and more worried.
"You should believe him. After all, you two have known each other for such a long time, how could you be replaced by someone else so easily? Okay, stop crying. These are your favorite foods. Do you want to have some?" As he said that, he picked up a piece of cake and put it in front of Li Ruotong. Li Ruotong shook her head with tears in her eyes.
How could she possibly eat it? Lin Feng was almost in love with someone else. Shen Qingwan had no choice but to continue to persuade him, but she was also distressed now.
Fu Yuheng doted on her in every way, but now he still treats her like this? The two of them can be said to be in the same boat.
It’s a pity that Fu Yuheng is not Lin Feng. As an emperor, it is inevitable to have three palaces and six courtyards, but it is also really heartbreaking.
"Okay, sister doesn't like to see you unhappy. I'll ask Lianyun to pack these cakes for you, take them back and eat them." After finally persuading Li Ruotong to stop crying, Shen Qingwan began to see the guests off.
Li Ruotong nodded and planned to continue waiting. Maybe Lin Feng really had some unspeakable secrets.
"Empress, what's wrong with you?" Lian Yun came back from sending Li Ruotong away and was a little puzzled to see Shen Qingwan looking tired. Could it be that she was tired
"It's okay, Lianyun, you can go out. I'll read a book here for a while, don't let anyone disturb me." Shen Qingwan picked up the book again, she no longer had the desire to read. I don't know why I've been feeling very uncomfortable these days.
It wasn't that she felt uncomfortable, she just felt tired and sleepy, so she put down the book and fell asleep early. However, at night, she heard a noisy sound outside. She has always been a light sleeper, so she doesn't like to have someone accompany her when she sleeps.
"Lianyun, what's going on outside? Lianyun?" After calling out several times but not seeing Lianyun, Shen Qingwan had no choice but to get up and go out to take a look. Following the sound, she walked to the Imperial Garden.
There were many people in front, and the sound should have come from there. When Shen Qingwan got closer, she saw Xiao Shushen lying on the ground, and there were already some blood stains on the ground. Shen Qingwan frowned.
"What's going on? What happened to the Queen?" Shen Qingwan turned around and asked the palace maid beside her. When the palace maid saw that it was Shen Qingwan, she quickly saluted and pointed at a girl kneeling in front of Xiao Shushen.
"The Queen was originally taking a walk here, but this girl clumsily ran out and bumped into the Queen, and then..." When Xiao Shushen came, they also lowered their heads and dared not look, and only looked up when they heard the screams.
But as soon as he looked up, he saw Hsiao Shushen lying on the ground holding her stomach, and a palace maid was kneeling in front of her, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
The scene suddenly became chaotic, but before long, blood began to flow from under Xiao Shushen's body.
If you offend the Queen, you will probably be in great danger.
