"Your Majesty, I am really worried about her safety. If you don't let me go and take a look to reassure her, I won't be able to do anything well."
Fu Yuheng figured out what had happened, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this young man really had some feelings for that little woman. But Qingwan was right, the palace was undoubtedly a dangerous place at this moment, and they must not act rashly without complete preparation.
"Ye Feng, I know you are concerned about Concubine Qi. Even if you want to go, you have to be prepared. You can't go in to visit so rashly. Please listen to me. I have a way to let you see Concubine Qi and get out of here safely."
Ye Feng was overjoyed. Shen Qingwan was a little surprised, but Ye Feng was willing to calm down and think carefully. In the end, she had to be happy. Qingwan didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was just that as a subject, she discussed the matter of seeing his concubine with a decent husband in front of the emperor...
Forget it, just pretend you heard nothing!
Qingwan had finally prepared herself mentally and was ready to listen to what Fu Yuheng had to say. Ye Feng was so excited that he wanted to kowtow to Fu Yuheng to express his gratitude.
"Your Majesty is wise. Ye Feng and Concubine Qi will never forget your kindness in their lifetime."
"What are you doing? Get up. We are not in the palace now. There is no need to pay attention to these empty formalities."
Ye Feng still stubbornly kowtowed to him three times, then left without looking back.
Shen Qingwan hadn't heard anything yet and was completely confused.
"What did you say? Why did the stubborn donkey leave so obediently? Did he go to the palace?"
Qingwan found it incredible and couldn't help but wonder what the difference was between Fu Yuheng's brain and hers.
The man held her slender waist and walked towards the inner room.
"Wanwan, if you want to know, just accompany me to take a nap first. I will tell you the details when you wake up."
"… "
Half an hour later, the person who had been eaten dry finally understood the meaning of a nap.
Qingwan stared at Fu Yuheng with gritted teeth.
"Sir, can you please tell me? I have really suffered a great loss."
Fu Yuheng still looked calm and gave her a reproachful look, as if to say, how could such a thing be said in broad daylight.
Qingwan had a mouthful of blood stuck in her chest and she had to spit it out, and she felt dizzy all over.
Well, my husband, you are so powerful, isn’t it okay for her to admit defeat
Fu Yuheng finally told her the whole conversation with Ye Feng, and Shen Qingwan now really admitted that he was amazing.
"How did you come up with this idea? Let me see if your hair is longer than mine?"
Fu Yuheng helplessly pulled the little hand off her head, looked at her and said, "Don't be silly, I told you you're going to play tricks on me again."
Qingwan curled her lips.
"I'm not convinced. You're playing a joke on me. If the palace guard at the gate refuses to use your face to pass on the message to him, won't he return home in disgrace without even being able to see the back of Concubine Qi's head?"
Fu Yuheng scratched her nose with a cunning expression.
"Did your husband tell you to let him go without worry? Everyone has their own wishes. It would be a pity if I didn't let him do it. But if I asked him to do it, I would have to choose a way and method. I can't let him do whatever he wants. He is just impulsive sometimes."
Qingwan agreed with the last sentence. If she had not been impulsive, the Queen would not have caught her and Concubine Qi would not have been sent to the cold palace.
Qingwan sighed and began to miss those people in the palace who treated her well.
Fu Yuheng patted her on the back and comforted her: "Wanwan, don't be sad. After this period, I will definitely let you live a comfortable and happy life, for sure."
At this time, outside the palace gate, Ye Feng really did as the two thought. He dressed up as a beggar and lingered at the palace gate, refusing to leave.
The man who Fu Yuheng said was saved by him didn't even glance at him. He stood like a javelin, looking like a stool, completely unsympathetic.
Ye Feng was discouraged, but when he thought of Concubine Qi, he was unwilling to leave like this and leave her alone to bear the mistakes he made.
"Brother, please be kind. I'm not lying. Please help me once. I will never forget your kindness."
"Get lost! Where did this beggar come from? You are such a nuisance in broad daylight. Don't you know that the queen is in a bad mood recently? You are simply courting death!"
Ye Feng was startled by what he said. He realized something was wrong and looked at the man deeply before leaving quickly.
The guard pursed his lips tightly and focused his attention again on standing guard, not daring to slack off at all.
A colleague next to him glanced at him. He didn't know what they said, but he always felt that the look was abnormal and he had something up his mind.
That night, in the small house where Ye Feng was temporarily living, someone came climbing over the eaves and walls to look for him.
The window was wide open, and the man moved around freely and flexibly, standing in front of Ye Feng's bed like a ghost.
"You're here?"
Ye Feng was very surprised. Looking at the uninvited person, he sat at the table drinking tea, waiting for the other person to speak first.
"You knew I was coming? You're not stupid. It's just that your actions just now would kill the emperor. Did you know that?"
Ye Feng felt very uncomfortable after his shortcomings were exposed.
He reluctantly avoided the topic and apologized to the man: "I was reckless, but you can't ignore my feelings for His Majesty. What he asked me to do has not been accomplished yet. He has a life-long friendship with you. At such a critical moment, you can't help but help."
The man untied the mask on his face, revealing an ordinary face. It was the guard guarding the gate today.
"I will help you, but you have to listen to me. Otherwise, not only will you not get what you want, but I will also die with you."
Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's natural."
The two of them had a serious discussion in the inn, and after each of them had made up their minds, they decided to separate.
"The situation in the palace is uncertain. The Queen's mood has changed a lot in recent days. Even the maids around her can't stand her torture. I heard that she is looking for the emperor like crazy. You must be careful. I will notify you as soon as I contact Concubine Qi. But you must not act rashly. You can only go to the apricot forest in the palace on the day of the full moon to meet him."
Ye Feng quickly agreed and expressed his gratitude.
After the man in black left, Ye Feng went back to the inn and told Shen Qingwan the news in detail. They were both happy. After dinner, Ye Feng left again and waited for news in the inn.
The days of waiting are always long, and Ye Feng did not escape such anxiety. Every day except for eating and sleeping, he would stay by the bed eagerly, not daring to show up, for fear that something might happen and ruin the meeting.
He couldn't help imagining what Concubine Qi looked like in his mind. The thought of missing her made him restless and he couldn't sleep well at night.
Finally, three days later, the guards sent a message asking him to prepare to enter the palace, as the opportunity could not be missed.
