Now that General Shen has handed over the power of 200,000 troops, Fu Yuheng feels much more at ease. However, his ninth brother seems to be getting more and more restless recently. Although he is still wandering around as usual, his behavior in the past few days has really made him suspicious.
"Eunuch Sun." Sitting on the dragon throne, Fu Yuheng felt increasingly uneasy. "Do you think my ninth brother is really as ambitionless as he appears to be?"
Sun Ning was stunned by this question and didn't know how to start for a moment. After all, it was not easy to comment on the affairs of the royal family. But now that the emperor asked, he had to bite the bullet and answer, "This... I don't know, but the Ninth Prince doesn't handle official business on weekdays. I'm afraid it has caused the emperor to worry."
He was an old man in the palace, so how could he not see that Fu Huaiyu must have his own plans in mind? However, being in the palace, especially as someone close to the emperor, he didn't know whether he should say this or not. After all, if he was charged with instigating the royal family, even ten heads would not be enough for him to chop off.
"Oh? Really?" Fu Yuheng lowered his eyes, making it difficult to see the expression on his face. But the next second, he raised his head, his face looking a little gloomy, "I don't think so."
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Sun Ning knelt down hurriedly, fearing that he would lose his life if he was not careful.
"Forget it." Fu Yuheng snorted coldly, not taking his anger out on him. He put the letter in his hand on the table, stood up and left. "That's all for today. I'm tired now. You should go down and have a rest too."
The anger in his heart was hard to calm down, and he finally walked towards Shen Qingwan. Perhaps now, she was the only one who could still arouse his interest.
He took a big step and arrived at Shen Qingwan's door in less than half an incense stick of time.
"The Emperor has arrived!" The eunuch guarding the door hurriedly announced. He seemed to have noticed that his face was not looking good, and there was a hint of awe in his voice.
Who has angered the emperor again? How brave is he? Isn't he afraid of losing his life
But no matter what he thought in his heart, he quickly retreated after the emperor entered the room. He couldn't afford to offend this gentleman and he wanted to live a few more years.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Shen Qingwan put aside the handkerchief she was embroidering and bowed quickly. Why did he come here today? Since the Ninth Prince came that day, he rarely came here. "Your Majesty, why did you think of me today?"
Seeing her being so cautious, Fu Yuheng suddenly felt better. "Could it be that my beloved concubine doesn't want me to come?" He sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it slowly.
"I dare not." Shen Qingwan answered meekly, and her tone was so gentle that it made people feel comfortable. She could see that he was in a bad mood today, and she didn't want to run into the gun. Therefore, she tried her best to go along with him when she spoke.
"That's good." Fu Yuheng curled his lips and smiled, "My beloved, please get up." He reached out his hand to help her up and put her on his lap.
Shen Qingwan wanted to struggle, but he held her too tightly and she couldn't get away no matter what. She had no choice but to sit there stiffly.
"My beloved concubine seems reluctant?" Fu Yuheng whispered softly in her ear. His warm breath hit her cheek, and her ears turned red, as if she was a little shy.
"Hehe..." He smiled happily, but suddenly pinched her chin, "Do you know why I am in a bad mood today?"
He turned her head and stared into her eyes dimly, as if trying to see through what she was thinking.
Shen Qingwan lowered her eyes, "I dare not guess what the emperor is thinking." But there was no fear in her eyes, only indifference. This made him even more angry.
"Hmph! Today I will allow you to guess and will not punish you." Fu Yuheng put his hands down and shook his sleeves, but the anger between his brows still did not dissipate.
"Your Majesty, please punish me. I am stupid and really can't guess it." Shen Qingwan looked away, but her tone remained gentle. She would not hit a smiling person. Her attitude made it impossible for him to get angry. He just felt unusually annoyed.
"You!" He pursed his lips and raised his hand, as if he wanted to throw it at her, but then put it down angrily. Humph, she was usually so smart, why couldn't she guess his thoughts today
Fu Yuheng stood up and said in a somewhat difficult tone: "I want to take a bath, go get me some water."
He specifically asked the maid not to go, but asked her to fetch water herself.
"Yes." Shen Qingwan clenched the handkerchief in her hand, feeling that he was as difficult to serve as a child. However, despite what she thought, she still obeyed the order and left.
"Hmph!" Fu Yuheng snorted again, and stopped looking at her. He just lowered his head and drank his tea, as if he really didn't care. However, the blue veins on his hands revealed what he was thinking. Could it be that she was really willing to do this, and even so, she didn't have the slightest bit of anger
With a loud bang, the teacup fell to the ground. "Someone come here!" Fu Yuheng rubbed his brows. He wanted to vent his anger on the servants, but after waiting for a long time, no one came in. Then he remembered that when he came in just now, he asked the servants to leave first.
His anger grew even more and he punched the table. When Shen Qingwan came back, she saw the same scene.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." He bent down and was about to clean up, but was stopped.
"Help me bathe!" He was annoyed, but seeing her unusually cold look, he wanted to conquer her even more.
"Yes." Still a calm, unusual answer, as if she was used to him.
Even when she was being challenged, she remained calm, as if nothing was difficult for her.
"Your Majesty must pay attention to your health and must not get angry all the time." Maybe he felt that way in his heart, and there was not even the slightest bit of anger in his tone, but rather some pleasure.
Seeing her like this, Fu Yuheng felt a little confused, "What are you laughing at?" The annoyance in his heart also dissipated a little.
Shen Qingwan then realized her gaffe, but still answered truthfully, "The emperor's temper is still so bad, but even so, he still doesn't make things too difficult for me. I just feel fortunate." She said so.
Feeling that his face seemed to be a little hot, Fu Yuheng coughed softly. Was he like that? How come he didn't even know it
"Forget it, just concentrate on serving me in the bath!" He took off his dragon robe and sank into the water, a smile on his face. It seemed that only here did he feel most like himself.
Shen Qingwan took the towel and gently wiped his back, feeling an inexplicable itch in her heart.
