After drifting on the river for an unknown amount of time, Shen Qingwan felt as if she was being choked by several huge waves. However, she had no foothold in the water, so she let the waves hit her and could only follow the river flowing forward.
Just when Shen Qingwan was about to give up and leave her life to fate, she suddenly felt someone jump into the river and come towards her without hesitation. Who could it be
The people of Jiangnan
Shen Qingwan was drowned and couldn't open her eyes. She couldn't see who was coming. She just hoped that the person who jumped down was someone who could swim, otherwise if he died with her, she would be committing a serious sin.
When she felt that person getting closer and closer to her, a big hand suddenly grabbed her and turned to swim towards the shore. Shen Qingwan had no strength left, so she let him take her to the shore. When she finally touched the wet and soft sand, she slowly felt relieved. She never wanted to experience the feeling of drifting with the waves just now, as if she was just a floating duckweed, again. It was too terrible.
Slowly regaining her strength, Shen Qingwan opened her eyes and saw a man in white clothes. It was Quan! Shen Qingwan was surprised and unbelievable for a moment, but she was still coughing up water, "Why are you here! Cough, cough, cough, you saved me!"
Perhaps it was because Shen Qingwan's expression was too frightened, or perhaps it was because she looked so miserable when she fell into the water, Quan's pity for her only grew.
Such a small person fell into the river. If he hadn't left yet and hadn't happened to meet her, it would be hard to imagine that he would never see her again. He put his fingers between his thin lips and smiled more, "Shh, don't talk."
Quan raised his hand and tapped lightly at a certain place on her body, and then Shen Qingwan found that she couldn't speak.
"I'll take you back to him. You better take good care of yourself next time."
Quan said this, and then he closed his eyes slightly. After saying "I'm sorry", he leaned over and picked her up horizontally, and flew into the air. But a moment later, Shen Qingwan was put down by him. There were bushes all around. He looked at her for a long time, and then said a few words with concern, "Take good care of yourself. This acupuncture point will be untied after ten breaths. Don't be afraid. It will only take a while."
Seeing Shen Qingwan blinking, Quan turned around and disappeared in the air in three breaths. Ten breaths were neither short nor long. Shen Qingwan had just recovered her voice when she saw a commotion not far away.
When Shen Qingwan turned around with difficulty, she saw Fu Yuheng being stopped by someone.
The emperor who was above ten thousand people, at this moment, had no strength left and was kneeling on the ground, calling out to everyone with such a cry that it made anyone who heard it sad and cry.
She just left like that
She had just entered the palace, had just seen him for the first time, and then had a mutual understanding with him. All the scenes of not competing with other flowers were in front of her eyes, passing by like a revolving lantern. Fu Yuheng covered her head with both hands and cried bitterly, "Oh... You are a liar! You have deceived me so much! Didn't you promise me that after the flood in Jiangnan was over, you would go to the desert together? How could you change your promise? You have benefited the people in Jiangnan for me, and I haven't rewarded you with anything! How can you abandon me? I won't let you die!"
She could hear the sadness in his heart in every question, and listening to his sobbing, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
But she hadn't recovered from the discomfort just now, and even if she wanted to open her eyes and look at him, she found it very difficult.
"Are you trying to escape from me? I ordered people to steam snow swallows every day to nourish your body. I know you don't like it, but I have always been clumsy and don't know how to treat you well. Is this why you left me? If you don't want to eat snow swallows, then don't eat them. You, please come back, I can't live without you."
Finally, Shen Qingwan felt that she had regained some strength. She struggled to stand up, but heard him continue talking.
"Well, it's fine to leave. I am the emperor, how can I worry about you every day? I don't want it anymore, all of it. I still have three thousand beauties in my harem, all kinds of thin and plump, why should I worry about not finding another woman like her? You make me so angry every day that I can't sleep well, so leave! Go back to a rich family in the next life!"
"Is what the emperor said true?" At this moment, a voice was heard from afar, which made the man who had lost all hope turn around immediately.
He couldn't see her face clearly from a distance. He could only see her goose yellow dress and her wet black hair. But he was sure that this was Shen Qingwan!
He trotted to her side, but Shen Qingwan had no strength left. She felt dizzy and black in front of her eyes. Fu Yuheng quickly helped her up and let her lean on his arms. He didn't care about his feelings and hugged her in his arms. He was afraid of hurting her, so he relaxed a little and looked at her nervously, "How is it? Are you feeling okay?"
Shen Qingwan smiled bitterly, her voice a little hoarse, "Fortunately, I arrived in time. If I had woken up a little later, the Queen would have replaced the three thousand concubines in the harem with me, the concubine."
Fu Yuheng was a little embarrassed for a moment. He thought she had passed away just now, and in grief, he said all these things without thinking. He didn't expect that all of this was heard by this little woman!
If others saw his lack of power, they would have died immediately. But it was her, so he was glad that she had discovered this side of him.
As long as she is alive and well, Xueyan can stop eating and he can ignore her. As long as she can be by his side every day, nothing else matters.
"Then your majesty, I am awake now. Ahem, do you still need to gather the three thousand beauties?"
Fu Yuheng shook his head repeatedly, hugged the person in his arms, and felt that he had broken his promise, "I don't want any of the three thousand concubines. I only want you. As long as you are safe and sound, that's all."
Shen Qingwan rarely curled the corners of her mouth, her smile was captivating, "Your Majesty is so tender and affectionate today, I'm not sure if this is a dream or reality." Now that she has escaped death, those false things are not important anymore.
But what happened today made it impossible for her to remain indifferent any longer.
Looking at her pale little face, her lips were red from excessive emotion, opening and closing, which made him forget everything around him. He just followed his heart and bent his head to kiss her.
Shen Qingwan had not yet gotten over the relief of surviving the disaster, but the face that suddenly enlarged in front of her and the warm touch reminded her that all this was not a dream!
After a lingering kiss, Fu Yuheng panted softly and whispered, "Now do you know whether my feelings for you are true or a dream?"
Shen Qingwan nodded slightly, a blush on her face was particularly attractive, and her voice was low, "I know."
The soldiers saw him running towards that direction from afar, so they had no choice but to run after him. They were surprised to see the figure of Concubine Xian in his arms, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two seemed to be whispering something with their heads down. Although the virtuous concubine did not seem to have much strength, at least she was still alive. As long as she was alive, everything was fine.
