What emerged in people's eyes was the old general who was once full of vigor and vitality and commanded the troops on horseback. When they saw this scene, they could only sigh.
Shen Qingwan and Fu Yuheng were mixed in the crowd, watching helplessly as Qingwan almost burst into tears and was taken away by Fu Yuheng, who covered her mouth.
“Woo woo woo…”
She couldn't help but burst into tears at the corner, but her voice was covered by Fu Yuheng's mouth. Before she could utter much, she left the crowded corner.
"We will rescue your father sooner or later. You have to trust me. Don't be impulsive now."
Shen Qingwan didn't say anything. She knew she shouldn't act rashly at this moment, but she was her father's daughter. How could she not be sad when her father was insulted so badly
His clothes seemed clean, but Daddy was obviously listless. He must have suffered some kind of suffering to become like this.
Qingwan stopped crying and ignored Fu Yuheng's comfort. She lifted her skirt and walked towards her residence.
Since he can't be saved now, he will have to wait until the time comes to save him before using all his strength. If she sees her father suffering now, Qingwan can't guarantee that she won't rush over and scratch those people's faces.
Back at the inn, Lianyun came in to report.
"Miss, another group of people came over just now to check on me. They were so fierce that they almost scared me to death."
Shen Qingwan asked about the specific details and waved to Lianyun to go in and rest. Lianyun refused. Qingwan's red and swollen eyes scared her.
"Then don't say anything here. The emperor and I have something to talk about."
Lianyun nodded quickly.
Fu Yuheng followed in, heard Qingwan's words, and walked over to pour her a glass of water.
"Drink some water to moisten your throat. You are too tired today. Otherwise, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Qingwan refused.
"Your Majesty, you just heard what Lianyun said. The increasing number of interrogations proves that the Queen does not completely believe the news of your death. We must speed up our actions."
Fu Yuheng was silent for a moment, then said, "You are right, and you are not right. Being anxious is not the way to solve the problem. Not only is it useless, but it will make us lose everything."
Qing Wan smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I didn't make this decision because of my father. The Queen will definitely send people to look for our bodies. If she can't find them, she will not give up, given her suspicious personality."
Fu Yuheng pushed her to sit on the seat.
"The most urgent thing is to find someone to contact General Shen. This way, we will have one less handle for the Queen to threaten us."
Shen Qingwan agreed, but Qingwan and Fu Yuheng were at a loss as to who to send to do this.
None of them are as skilled in martial arts as Ye Feng, and they all showed up in front of the jailer. If they were recognized, the price would be high, and Fu Yuheng's life might even be lost.
"Miss, let General Chang go. He is a person who came back from the border, and no one has any impression of him. And General Chang is a military commander after all. If anything happens, he can escape smoothly."
Shen Qingwan would not ask Fu Yuheng to go. His safety must be guaranteed, so she could only send General Chang, who is skilled in martial arts and not afraid of death.
Before Fu Yuheng could say anything, Lianyun took the initiative to run out and find General Chang to talk to him.
Shen Qingwan saw Fu Yuheng frowning, but she didn't get angry because Lianyun was her maid.
"Lianyun, shut up, who allowed you to be so presumptuous?"
Fu Yuheng waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
"I've thought a lot these days, and I'm not as obsessed with some things as before. Don't blame her, she's also worried about your father."
Qingwan ignored his words and just gave Lianyun a stern look, scaring the maid so much that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Miss, Your Majesty, I will never dare to do that again."
"You're yelling something weird, what the hell."
Lianyun quickly changed her words: "I'm sorry, Madam, I overstepped my bounds."
Qingwan saw that Fu Yuheng was really not angry, so she asked Lianyun to leave.
"Wan Wan, you and I don't need to care so much. She is the most loyal maid by your side. If you explain it clearly, I believe she will not dare to do it again."
Qingwan sighed. She was afraid that Lianyun would lose her proper etiquette, so she didn't dare let her appear in front of Fu Yuheng casually.
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about her for now. General Chang is coming in."
Only then did Fu Yuheng turn his attention to him.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to try to rescue General Shen. General Shen has been very kind to me, and I cannot bear to see him suffer at the hands of the enemy."
"You are going to the Heavenly Prison, and the situation is very critical. There may be danger. You must think carefully."
In the past, Fu Yuheng would never say such things to his subordinates.
General Chang has been following Shen Tianao for several years and knows Fu Yuheng's character very well.
Seeing him like this now, I really feel uncomfortable for a moment.
Fortunately, he was used to being a minister, and he had to execute the orders from the emperor.
"Your Majesty, my mission is to protect your safety. Please tell me how to do this, and I will do my best to get it done."
"good!"
This is the kind of courage Fu Yuheng wants.
"I have a fake death drug here. Please help me deliver it to General Shen in the prison. Tell him that the symptoms will appear at noon the next day after taking the drug. Tell him to wait for our rescue."
When General Chang heard about this miraculous medicine, he couldn't help but clasped his fists excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will not let you down."
As he spoke, he picked up the medicine bottle from Fu Yuheng's hand and put it in his arms.
After General Chang left, Shen Qingwan went over to ask Fu Yuheng: "Your Majesty, tomorrow's events will definitely be extremely dangerous. You'd better not go with him. We will wait here for his good news."
Fu Yuheng glanced at her with a smile.
"Wan Wan, I know you're going to see General Shen without telling me, but do you know what I'm going to say?"
Shen Qingwan didn't feel embarrassed even though her intentions were seen through.
She just felt guilty as a child and was unable to rescue her father. Since she had been discovered by Fu Yuheng, she decided not to go.
"I won't go. I will wait for good news here with you."
Fu Yuheng then stopped dwelling on this topic.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
General Chang took the silver and went to the Heavenly Prison early in the morning to try his luck.
The guards there are very strict, but as the saying goes, money makes the world go round, and money can also pry open that hard door.
"Sir, I'm a relative of the person imprisoned inside. Could you please let me in to take a look? Just a glance, so I can know if he's doing well."
The jailer weighed the heavy silver in his hand and stroked his chin as if he was thinking about something.
"Who are you going to see inside?"
General Chang was wearing coarse cloth clothes at this time.
