After a few days of rest, Shen Qingwan's body has improved a lot, and the cold has subsided. But for safety reasons, Shen Qingwan still rested. But during these few days of free time, she suddenly figured out a lot of things.
The most important one among them is Li Jieyu. She was ordered to come here to control the flood for her parents. However, after such a long time, there has been no news at all, and judging from her expression, she doesn't seem to be very worried.
The last time she came back early, she actually saw Concubine Li asking the palace maid to go out and buy food. She didn't look worried at all.
"My queen, you've finally had a few days' rest. Could you please stop thinking about those random things?" Lian Yun came back from outside and saw Shen Qingwan frowning and dazed. She spoke with some complaints. Her queen really never rested for a moment.
"How can I be so careless?" Shen Qingwan couldn't rest at all during the few days she was resting here. She was thinking about flood relief and Li Jieyu's affairs, and she even rarely thought about Fu Yuheng.
Lianyun curled her lips. She said she was not having any crazy thoughts when she looked like she was on the verge of going insane. She didn't know whether this disease was a blessing or a curse.
"Okay, go get me something to eat, I'm hungry." Seeing her look, Shen Qingwan couldn't help but smile. After sending Lianyun away, she fell into deep thought again.
This is not just random thoughts! Li Jieyu is obviously not very worried about the situation of her family, otherwise she would not have stayed in the mansion peacefully, and would have gone out to look for them long ago.
"My queen, why are you up again? Didn't the doctor tell you not to go out and catch a cold?" When Lianyun came in with food, he was shocked to see that she was already dressed.
She knew Shen Qingwan would be restless, but it had only been a few days, so she wouldn't run away right away. If anything happened, what would she, as a servant, do
"I know, I won't go outside." Shen Qingwan certainly cared about her own health, she wasn't ready to die yet. She just wanted to ask Li Chaoyang something.
Lianyun had no choice but to follow Shen Qingwan, but she still kept nagging. The most common thing she said every day was to instruct her own mother, but she just listened and didn't respond at all.
"Why are you here, Your Majesty? Are you feeling better?" Li Chaoyang, who had just returned from the front line, was a little worried when he saw Shen Qingwan rushing over here. Could something have happened
"Everything is going smoothly at the dam. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry." Li Chaoyang was worried that she would go there despite her illness, so he frowned slightly, took a few steps forward, and took the initiative to report.
Listening to Li Chaoyang talking about the disaster victims, Shen Qingwan nodded continuously. Although she was not here for this kind of thing, this result was also good. The people would finally not have to suffer anymore.
"Thank you for your hard work, Governor, but I didn't come here for this matter." She slowly spoke after Li Chaoyang finished speaking.
Li Chaoyang was a little surprised when he heard this, and he really couldn't think of anything else. Could it be that he was feeling unwell somewhere? But in that case, he should go to the doctor, after all, he couldn't treat it and couldn't help much.
"Your Majesty, please speak." Curious about what exactly happened to Shen Qingwan, Li Chaoyang spoke patiently.
"Li Jieyu's hometown should be here. I heard her say that she was worried about her parents in her hometown, so she wanted to come here to help. I wonder if the governor has found her family?" Shen Qingwan was no longer as anxious as before. Instead, she calmed down and looked at him indifferently. She already had some plans.
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong. She believed that Li Jieyu's coming here was definitely not as simple as her parents', but she really couldn't think of her purpose.
"Is that so?" Li Chaoyang frowned and thought about it. He knew that Li Jieyu's hometown was here, but he had never heard Li Jieyu talk about it on her own initiative, and she had never asked him for help.
He shook his head. "It is true that Li Jieyu's family is here, but Li Jieyu has never taken the initiative to look for me."
Shen Qingwan lowered her head after listening to this. It turned out to be just as she had guessed. "Does the Governor know where Concubine Li's family lives?" She thought Concubine Li would care about it herself and never asked. But today she felt that she might have underestimated her before.
But Li Chaoyang still shook his head, "I don't know. Li Jieyu has never returned to Jiangnan, so I really don't know her exact location."
"Okay, I understand." After Shen Qingwan found out what happened, she took Lianyun back to her residence, but did not answer any of Lianyun's questions.
Why did she suddenly want to investigate Li Jieyu
Normally, she didn't look worried at all, but rather looked like she was out for fun. How could she not be suspicious? This was the flood-ridden Jiangnan area, not a place for Li Jieyu to go out for fun!
"Sister." Concubine Li was originally very idle. When she saw Shen Qingwan coming, she was a little surprised and stood up slowly to salute. Since she was not in the palace, there were fewer rules.
Seeing that Shen Qingwan had recovered, Li Jieyu was a little surprised. Why not let such a woman die here
"After so many days in Jiangnan, has Concubine Li found her family?" Shen Qingwan spoke directly without beating around the bush, leaving her a little stunned after hearing it.
How could I suddenly think of such a question? Li Jieyu felt a cold sweat on her back, and even her legs were trembling slightly, but she still tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart and tried her best to pull out a smile.
“No, our family has moved to a new place, and I still don’t know where my sister has gone, nor do I know how our parents are doing. If anything happens... I..." Li Jieyu sighed, covering her face with her hands, looking dejected and about to cry.
Shen Qingwan was skeptical, but did not ask any further questions.
"Keep an eye on Concubine Li's movements, and tell me immediately if anything happens." After leaving Concubine Li's yard, Shen Qingwan whispered to Lianyun.
This is all we can do for now. If she really has a problem... it's better to be careful. After all, she is outside the palace now, and there are no guards around. If something happens, I'm afraid no one can save her.
After Shen Qingwan left, Li Jieyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't expect Shen Qingwan to be so smart and start to doubt so quickly.
She clenched her fists, wrote a letter that night, tied it to the leg of a carrier pigeon, and flew it away.
Now she could only pray that Xiao Shushen would reply quickly, otherwise she would be like a headless fly, really at a loss...
