Early in the morning, Fu Huaiyu just walked out of the mansion and went straight to Fushan Tower. When the servant saw him, he hurried out to greet him.
"Ninth Prince, you're here!" He walked forward with a smile, his hands in his sleeves, "Ninth Prince, this is what you dropped yesterday." He stretched out his hand and took out a hairpin. Fu Huaiyu knew at a glance that this was the osmanthus hairpin that Shen Qingwan wore on her head yesterday.
In fact, this hairpin was sent by a maid this morning. The woman stuffed a gold ingot into his pocket and asked him to give it to the Ninth Prince today. Since it was free money, why would he refuse it? But there was still a little evasion in his eyes. Fortunately, Fu Huaiyu, who was fiddling with the hairpin in her hand, did not notice his abnormality.
"I know. How is that girl from yesterday?" Fu Huaiyu thought of the little thief who was rescued yesterday. Shen Qingwan's caring look made him feel more concerned about that little girl.
"In reply to the prince, the girl has already gone home. How dare I neglect the orders given by the noble lord?" The servant smiled ingratiatingly, but he was extremely excited in his heart. He must have been lucky in the past two days, as someone came to give him silver for two consecutive days.
Fu Huaiyu put the hairpin into his sleeve, thinking that he would deliver it when he was free today.
"Is everything done?" Xiao Shushen leaned on the couch, holding a grape handed to her by a maid.
"Everything has been done in reply to your Majesty's request." Nanny Gui nodded.
"Then just wait and see." He said with a smile, looking out the window.
Shen Qingwan, do you know that the emperor hates people getting close to the Ninth Prince the most
Shen Qingwan stayed in her yard all day. She was tired from yesterday and her nerves were tense. After getting up today, she felt dizzy and heavy, so she lay in bed and did not get up.
"Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you." After the court session ended, General Shen stayed behind and decided, gritting his teeth, to give up some of the military power in his hands.
"Oh?" Fu Yuheng knew that Shen Qingwan must have said something to him, which led to the current situation. "Then come with me to my study!" He waved his sleeves and turned to walk towards the study. Some things are better not to be discussed in crowded places.
Following him all the way to the study, General Shen's emotions calmed down. Well, just give it up. It is much better than letting his family be implicated. He didn't expect that at his age, he still didn't think as far-sightedly as his daughter.
"Your Majesty, I am old now and my health is not as good as before. Therefore, I am willing to hand over the power of two hundred thousand soldiers in my hands to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will accept it." He brushed his body and then said what was in his mind.
Fu Yuheng was surprised to hear him say that. Two hundred thousand, what a big sum. He didn't expect that he would hand over so much. He didn't know whether he underestimated Shen Qingwan or said that she was too loyal to him or to the Shen family.
However, although he was surprised in his heart, his face remained indifferent, "General Shen, have you thought it through? Once the military power is in my hands, I can never take it back." With narrowed eyes, he looked at the person in front of him. General Shen was obviously unwilling. Perhaps Shen Qingwan's coercion played a role in it.
"If you don't want to, I won't force you." Seeing that he was a little hesitant, he said with a smile, and his eyes turned a little cold.
"I have thought about it, please support me, Your Majesty." He sighed in his heart, but finally gave in.
Fu Yuheng's eyes lit up, "If that's the case, then I'll grant your wish. Go back!"
"I thank the Lord for his grace!" He knelt on the ground and left when the Emperor asked him to stand up. But as soon as he left the study, he felt his whole body weaken. Although he was a military commander, his power over the Emperor was not to be underestimated.
I wiped the cold sweat from my head and felt exhausted.
Fu Yuheng leaned back in the chair, looking at the roof, and thought of the person who always seemed to be indifferent to the world. She was able to convince Prime Minister Shen to give up the military power of 200 million. How many people can compare with such a delicate mind? His admiration for her increased, and he stood up and walked towards the harem.
"Greetings, Ninth Prince." Shen Qingwan had just stood up and opened the door when she saw Fu Huaiyu standing in the yard, but he had obviously just arrived.
Lianyun came over and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go in and call you." When she saw the Ninth Prince coming, she quickly stopped what she was doing and was thinking of going in to call the Queen, but she didn't expect the Queen to push the door open and come out.
Shen Qingwan took a light step forward and asked him why he came this time, "What is the matter with the Ninth Prince coming here this time?"
Here, Shen Qingwan and Fu Huaiyu were talking, and they didn't see a figure at the gate of the courtyard running out stealthily.
"Reporting to the Queen, the Ninth Prince has already passed away." Ah Xiu lowered her head and reported to Xiao Shushen.
Xiao Shushen stood up, turned around and walked out the door, "Let's go, let's go see what the emperor is doing."
At this time, the emperor happened to come in from the outer courtyard and saw Xiao Shushen coming over.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor."
"Queen, where are you going?" Fu Yuheng raised his hand to help her up, looking at the direction she was heading in confusion, which was clearly towards his study.
Xiao Shushen covered her lips and smiled, saying, "Your Majesty, you don't know, I was just planning to go see Concubine Xian, and I just happened to hear that Your Majesty was coming, so I waited here and wanted to go with Your Majesty."
"Oh?" Fu Yuheng pondered in his heart, thinking that her words were somewhat credible, "The Queen is thoughtful."
Xiao Shushen was stunned by these words, and she felt her heart tremble. "If the emperor does not go, then I will go there first." She had no choice but to say this. Even if the emperor does not go, wouldn't her plan be ruined
"In that case, I'll go with you to take a look." Fu Yuheng's eyes rolled around in his sockets, thinking that it would be okay to go and take a look, since he came here today just to see Shen Qingwan anyway.
"I forgot your hairpin at Fushan Tower last time. When I went there today, the servant happened to bring it to me." Fu Huaiyu played with the hairpin in his hand with a teasing look in his eyes, "I came here specially to give it to you."
"Hmph! The Ninth Prince is in a really good mood. He even made a special trip to deliver something to my concubine." Fu Yuheng snorted coldly, which made Shen Qingwan feel a little cold in her heart. But when she saw the figure in bright yellow, there was indeed someone standing next to him. It was the current queen, Xiao Shushen.
"Yes! Today, I am in a very good mood!"
