"Then let me do as you wish. Just take a few more glances."
Qingwan was drunk at the time, so she had no way of understanding what Fu Yuheng was saying or what he was trying to express.
She just spoke to Fu Yuheng based on her intuition.
"No, if I look at them a few more times, those sisters will hate me. The emperor is everyone's emperor, and the sisters are all his concubines. How dare I monopolize the emperor alone?"
Fu Yuheng had never heard Shen Qingwan say so many words from her heart, and there was a sense of emotion in her expression that he himself was not aware of.
"Has Qingwan always thought so? Then why didn't you say it before?"
Shen Qingwan finally understood what Fu Yuheng meant, and she laughed non-stop as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"Your Majesty is making fun of me. I am just a concubine. I have the Queen above me and countless beautiful and lovely sisters below me who are waiting to plot against me. How dare I tell the truth to your Majesty?"
Fu Yuheng frowned: "What if you tell me the truth?"
But thinking of the cracked relationship between him and Shen Qingwan in the beginning, he was still glad in his heart.
If Shen Qingwan had told him at that time, he would never give up his country and his people to consider someone who was of no use to him.
Qingwan didn't expect him to answer at all, she just kept muttering her own thoughts.
"You don't understand. The relationships in the palace are too cold. Apart from Concubine Qi and Concubine Shu, even Concubine De is using each other. When will this life end?"
Fu Yuheng grew up in the deep palace, so how could he not know what Shen Qingwan meant.
It was because the palace was lonely and there was no true love that he was so moved when he met Shen Qingwan.
"What about now? Do you have something to say to me?"
Qingwan blinked her blurry eyes and stared into Fu Yuheng's eyes, not knowing what to say.
"Well, are you willing to listen to what I have to say?"
Fu Yuheng nodded without hesitation and agreed readily.
"I do."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Qingwan fell into his arms.
Sleep soundly.
Fu Yuheng laughed and said, "Go to sleep. When you fall asleep, the unhappiness in your dreams will disappear and will no longer follow you or torture you. From today on, I will never let you suffer any more grievances."
Since then, Fu Yuheng's transformation has been obvious to all.
He no longer has a stern face all day long. When others greet him, he will give an appropriate smile and a polite reply.
At first, the servants were not used to it. No one thought it was normal for an emperor to greet them like ordinary people. They were all flattered.
Even Shen Qingwan found this unbelievable, so one can imagine what those people who only have a master-servant relationship with Fu Yuheng would think.
But as the days passed, people's impressions of him kept changing. Slowly, Fu Yuheng's former domineering and cold appearance was forgotten by people, and now this gentle and tactful man was the Fu Yuheng in their eyes.
Qingwan was very happy with this change.
Because of her drunkenness that day, the emperor issued a gag order, so Qingwan still doesn't know what shocking words she said that day, or what absurd and treasonous things she did.
Fu Yuheng kept all of this in his heart and would never let her know.
Ye Feng's arrival made Shen Qingwan more confident about their future.
The intervention of Okong State undoubtedly made Fu Yuheng's situation worse, but there might be a glimmer of hope in the midst of difficulties. As long as the timing is right, a reversal is not impossible.
Before making a decision, Fu Yuheng would discuss it with Shen Qingwan in advance and no longer be the arbitrary man.
"Wanwan, did I tell you about the mysterious woman in the mansion?"
Qingwan shook her head.
"The Emperor only mentioned it briefly and did not describe it in detail to me."
Fu Yuheng's face suddenly flushed. He was a little angry with himself because of this embarrassment. His awkward mood made Shen Qingwan want to laugh.
"Your Majesty, what are you trying to do? Is there anything you can't say in front of me?"
When Fu Yuheng thought of the situation at that time, he wanted to tear that bastard Quan into pieces and make Qingwan never see him again. But he only knew that it was childish, so he restrained his emotions and explained it to Qingwan carefully.
"Does the woman the emperor saw have any exotic features?"
If she were a woman of another race, her appearance would not have the Han style, Qingwan was very sure of this.
Fu Yuheng said: "He doesn't look like a foreigner. He looks no different from us Han people. If you ask me this, I really can't answer you."
Qingwan was a little jealous.
"Could it be that the emperor saw that she was beautiful and wanted to marry her? In the end, she didn't remember him and his purpose was not achieved. So what was the emperor doing there during his inspection?"
Fu Yuheng was amused by her little girl's coquettish behavior. When talking about that woman, Fu Yuheng always had a feeling that all of this was related to her.
"These people come with ill intentions, so we must be careful in dealing with them."
Qingwan nodded.
"But there has been no movement in Okong for such a long time. If there really is something going on in Shangjing, shouldn't it be peaceful here?"
"That's what's strange. Do you think that if they really went to the capital, they would go find the leader of the power?"
Qing Wan shook her head: "How is it possible? No matter how powerful the Okong Kingdom is, it will not let go of such a powerful backer, not to mention that it is a small force with no strength."
Fu Yuheng nodded: "Such a simple truth, I can think of it, do you think those desperate criminals can't think of it?"
"Of course not."
"So, the person they can find must be..."
Shen Qingwan smiled and said, "The queen is undoubtedly the one."
"Wanwan is so smart."
After lunch, the two men disguised themselves and went out to the streets to gather information as usual. Teahouses and taverns were the places where information spread the fastest, and they would appear every time.
In the hall, a gentleman in his fifties was telling a story with great eloquence, and the people below were listening with great interest.
"I saw a ferocious beast in the mountains rushing over and trying to pin the man down."
Qing Wan covered her mouth and smiled: "Husband, this old man tells this story every time, don't you get tired of hearing it?"
Fu Yuheng smiled and said, "They always find beating tigers novel, something that only exists in their imagination. Even if they are really tired of hearing about it, what can those people who come to drink tea do if the teahouse owner does not change?"
"Actually, it doesn't have much of an impact, so I don't care."
Fu Yuheng nodded gently.
The tea and snacks were gradually served, and the old gentleman on the stage was still speaking with great interest. Suddenly, a girl walked in boldly.
