The beautiful rose suddenly pulled out its thorns, what a beauty that is.
He held Shen Qingwan in his arms and kissed his forehead.
"I don't understand feelings, but I know that if I want something, I must get it. Whether you like it or not, you are mine."
Qingwan's restless emotions suddenly stopped for a moment, and she stared at him blankly.
"Is what the emperor said true?"
"I have told many lies, but you must believe me this time. That Quan, if I see you with him again, I will not let you go, not just him."
In early summer, the weather is hot and what flows on the body is not only sweat, but also hot shivers.
Shen Tianao's illness gradually improved day by day. After Shen Qingwan woke up, she went to see her father first.
"Dad, how are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Tianao has always been strong-willed, and Fu Yuheng followed her in, so she could no longer say these cowardly words.
"Why are you still acting like a child in front of the Emperor? Daddy is fine and living a good life. You should serve the Emperor well, and that will be the best way to show filial piety to him."
In the past, Shen Tianao hoped most that the emperor would be good to Qingwan. He did not ask for a position, but only for her to have a place in his heart.
But now, he was really surprised to see his daughter and the emperor getting along so well.
"Your Majesty, there is a lot of sick air here, please don't stay here, it's not good..."
"No problem, I will stay here with Qingwan, General Shen, there is no need to be polite."
"Your Majesty," Shen Tianao suddenly remembered something.
"There are so many people here, will it cause you trouble if I call you like this? The man in the palace has gone crazy and is capable of doing anything, so you must be careful!"
Fu Yuheng was just thinking about the Queen's actions when he heard Shen Tianao's words and asked in a deep voice, "What good things did that woman do?"
Besides the Queen Mother, are there other concubines who suffered as well
Shen Qingwan glanced at Fu Yuheng. The conversation that day ended before she could finish. Now that her father had spoken out loud, it could be considered as giving him some preparation in advance.
"Your Majesty, the harem is now in a mess because of the Empress. She supported the crown prince to ascend the throne, but she didn't even hold the most basic coronation ceremony. The old minister failed to persuade him, and he was actually imprisoned in the Sky Prison for such a long time. It is obvious that not many people in the harem will be spared."
Qingwan didn't want her father to talk about the sad things, so she just told it all herself.
"Your Majesty, when I met with Guard Ye a few days ago, he told me that Concubine De... is gone, and the little princess is being raised by Hua Zhaoyi for the time being, and Concubine Qi has also been banished to the cold palace. If it weren't for Sister Shufei's peaceful lifestyle, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to escape the Queen's clutches this time."
Fu Yuheng clenched his fists gradually. Even though he did not have much feelings for those women, they were still people who had followed him for a lifetime. Now they were being bullied because of his withdrawal. How could he not be angry
"And... what else you didn't tell me? Tell me everything."
Qingwan, no more hiding.
"One day I will take revenge on that woman for all the mistakes I made. That time won't be too far away."
At night, Shen Qingwan couldn't sleep and someone was still tossing and turning next to her, so she simply got up, put on her clothes, and sat next to him to talk.
"You seem to be worried today, what's going on?"
Under normal circumstances, she would never dare to guess the emperor's intentions, as that would be disrespectful, but the two of them were already in love, and it became unguarded to say such words at this moment.
Fu Yuheng lay on the bed with his eyes open, his white undershirt open, revealing his chest that had been tanned over the past few days.
"The night you were captured by Quan, I came across something interesting. Let me tell you about it."
"Oh? What's that?"
There are only some wealthy people's houses nearby. What's so fancy about them that would be worthy of Fu Yuheng's attention
"There is a familiar symbol carved on the wall of a house. What do you think it is?"
"What?"
Qingwan felt that he was keeping her in suspense, so she just asked.
"A white magnolia."
"What's so important about Magnolia? Is it worth you being so excited?"
Fu Yuheng sat up, and there was only a fist's distance between the two of them.
"You have not been in the palace for long and have not had much contact with the royal family. If it were Concubine De at this time, she would definitely understand what I mean."
"So Sister Shufei also knows about this? Could it be that something extraordinary happened before this?"
"Why aren't you angry?"
Fu Yuheng was very surprised. Aren't women supposed to be stingy in front of the men they love? Like he was in front of Quan... Fu Yuheng suddenly felt a little unbalanced, and kept asking Shen Qingwan to give a proper explanation.
Qingwan was helpless.
"Do I have to punch you a few times to prove that I love you? Fu Yuheng, my emperor, when did you feel like joking with me like this?"
Fu Yuheng was stunned for a moment. The words "My Emperor" made his ears numb and his whole body feel light and fluttery, which was sweeter than drinking a few jars of honey.
"Qingwan, please say a few more words. I would love to hear them."
"What?"
Shen Qingwan really couldn't keep up with Fu Yuheng's thoughts at the moment.
"I command you to call my name."
"Your Majesty, I am here to discuss serious matters with you."
"I don't care. You can help me deal with business during the day, but at night, you are just my woman. Let's put those damn national affairs aside. My woman can only pay attention to me. You just said... I am what to you?"
Qingwan stared, really surprised by Fu Yuheng's boredom.
"emperor?"
"Tell me what's going on. I want to hear it. If you don't, I'll force you to tell me."
His hands and feet were placed on extremely sensitive parts to harass her. Shen Qingwan surrendered in a short while and begged, "My emperor, please stop disturbing me. I will never do anything silly again."
"That's more like it."
Fu Yuheng put his arm around her waist, and the topic gradually turned to a secret matter in the palace following her curiosity.
"Five years ago, when I was still a young man, a legend was circulating in the palace."
"Your Majesty, you are only five years older. You don't have to make yourself sound so serious."
Fu Yuheng frowned, Shen Qingwan retracted her playful expression and listened to what Fu Yuheng said.
"My mother once told me that the white magnolia is the most sacred symbol of the Okon Kingdom. No one can imitate their country's carving techniques, including embroidery and painting. It is a mysterious and powerful symbol."
"You mean, you saw the national flag of Okong in the wealthy residential area of the capital?"
Fu Yuheng nodded.
"That's not surprising. I don't believe that there are no spies from other countries sneaking into Daliang. But there is no guarantee that there are no spies sent by you to explore the country of Aokong."
"You don't understand."
Fu Yuheng said.
