In this remote and wild mountain range, no one needs to worry about being followed.
"With General Chang here, we always save a lot of effort."
Qingwan sighed sincerely.
General Chang was embarrassed by these words. He did not dare to take credit for it. He could only smile stupidly and said modestly: "I only know some skills in marching and fighting. I am not that good. Look at General Shen. He is a real talent."
When Shen Qingwan heard her father's name from an acquaintance, the guilt that had been forgotten for a long time came back to her mind.
She was in a low mood, her movements became aimless, and her mind was wandering in the direction of the capital's prison.
I don’t know whether my father is doing well there. When Qingwan thinks of that bowl of black stuff, her heart feels like it’s being cut.
"Miss… "
After all, Lianyun was a servant who had served Shen Qingwan, so it was easy for her to see her loss.
"Are you worried about the master? When we return to the capital, we can disguise ourselves and give the jailer some money, and then we can see him."
After saying that, he turned around quietly and glared at General Chang.
The big man didn't know what to say.
I feel inexplicably guilty.
"Miss, from now on, if there is anything I can do for you, just let me know. I will help you even if it means sacrificing my life!"
Shen Qingwan was deeply moved by this confession.
"General, what are you talking about? I want to thank you for being by my father's side. Even Qingwan cannot match your love and care for me over the past ten years."
General Chang liked to hear this. The nights in the mountains were always as cool as water. Qingwan thought about the upcoming meeting with Fu Yuheng. Somehow, a string in her heart was touched, and all the depression she had just felt disappeared.
I hope Daddy can take good care of himself. Her going to the Heavenly Prison now will undoubtedly make his situation worse. Only by helping the Emperor regain his status can the Shen family have a good life.
When they arrived at the ruined temple, they happened to see that group of scoundrels being taken away by Fu Yuheng. What Shen Qingwan saw was a man with a slightly melancholy look.
Such emotions were fleeting. If God hadn't happened to give Shen Qingwan a chance, she would probably never have seen Fu Yuheng with such an expression in her life.
Qingwan walked over, picked up the firewood on the ground and added fuel to Fu Yuheng's fire.
"Have you had dinner? Why are you sitting here in a daze?"
Fu Yuheng knew someone was coming, but he was too lazy to pay attention. It was not until he heard Shen Qingwan's familiar voice that he came out of his daze, and his calm eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Wanwan, you're back!"
There was infinite joy in her voice, and Fu Yuheng rarely showed his emotion. He stood up, took her hand, and looked at her carefully, wondering whether she had gained weight or lost weight.
"The mountain road is difficult to travel. I was thinking about going to the east to pick you up, but I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find me when you get here, so I had to wait for news."
He suddenly felt very useless. When he was an emperor in the past, everything was always under his control. But now, this feeling of powerlessness almost engulfed his senses, leaving only his determination to win the future.
"Wan Wan, we will go into the city tomorrow and find a way to rescue General Shen. If all goes well, within half a month, the palace will be the place where you and I will return."
Shen Qingwan was naturally unhappy and unwilling to see that Fu Yuheng was so determined.
What she feared most was that the emperor would be defeated by setbacks and never recover.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. I have already found reinforcements for you when I went to the military camp this time. Not only can my eldest brother help you, but also Concubine Shu's eldest brother, who is also your most loyal guard."
Fu Yuheng was filled with emotion, and then he asked Qingwan about the situation in the palace.
"Did Wanwan meet Ye Feng? Did he tell us about the latest situation in the palace?"
Qingwan is not a woman who dares to brag unless she is sure. Since she is very sure about the current situation, it means that someone has told her about what is happening in the capital.
Fu Yuheng is worthy of being a king. He can see the whole situation through the smallest things. Qingwan can't help but feel inferior to him.
"Your Majesty, I met Ye Feng in the military camp. He told me that the Queen Mother in the palace had passed away."
For Fu Yuheng, the Queen Mother is an extremely special existence.
The Ninth Prince was her biological son, but he was the emperor who sat on the throne. This complex feeling of being above his mother made him feel at a loss sometimes.
The moment he heard the news of the Queen Mother's passing, Fu Yuheng's first reaction was to be stunned.
"What did you say? Mother, she's dead?"
Shen Qingwan felt a little reluctant, but that was the fact. Instead of asking Fu Yuheng to go to the capital and find out the news from outsiders, it would be better for her to tell him so that he could be prepared in advance.
Fu Yuheng was stunned for just a moment, and the next second his face returned to being as cold as ice.
"Who did it? The Queen?"
Qingwan nodded, Fu Yuheng clenched his fists tightly, and the anger on his face could hardly be concealed.
"She is truly my good queen. During my absence, she actually did something so heartless. I have always underestimated her."
Shen Qingwan watched him get angry without saying a word. She waited until he had vented all his anger before discussing countermeasures with him.
At this time, after General Chang and Lian Yun finished their greetings, they tactfully left, leaving the two of them with space to talk alone.
Fu Yuheng then remembered that Shen Qingwan had just returned and probably hadn't had time to eat dinner, but he was still there, still angry...
Fu Yuheng blamed himself in his heart, but his face remained expressionless. He just went out to look for prey silently. When Shen Qingwan asked him what he was doing, he just told her to stay here and not run around.
I heard General Chang's greetings from outside. The two of them probably went out to do some business together.
Shen Qingwan only felt tired when she got here. She was almost exhausted after walking on the mountain road for several days and nights.
Lianyun came in and talked to her happily: "Miss, the emperor and General Chang went out to make dinner for you. You haven't eaten much all day, so you must be hungry now."
Shen Qingwan glared at her resentfully.
"Why don't you stop them? At least come in and tell me."
Lianyun felt aggrieved. She was so happy that the emperor was taking care of the young lady. If she were in the palace, it would be such a blessing. Why did the young lady always look unwilling
Shen Qingwan couldn't help but sigh when she saw her confused and aggrieved expression.
"Silly girl, that's our Daliang emperor. If anything happens to him, we won't have to go back to the capital for the rest of our lives. Which is more important, dinner or the future?"
Lianyun touched her head embarrassedly and said, "Miss, you are right. I am narrow-minded. I will not dare to do it again in the future."
