Thinking of the scene at that time, Brother Shen's eyes were filled with smiles.
"We were bored staying in the tree, and this group of people avoided work, as if they were here specifically to avoid the errands. They just ate, drank and had fun for several days, which made us angry."
Shen Qingwan understood their feelings very well.
Staying in the mountains without food or sleep would make anyone feel negative.
"I told them that we might as well go and scare them. Many people agreed, and that night they wore white undergarments, rubbed the chicken blood left over from hunting on their undergarments, let their hair down, and made some noises. It was a perfect scene."
After hearing this, Fu Yuheng couldn't help but look at Brother Shen. Is this still the Brother Shen who is usually serious and seems to be cast in the same mold as General Shen
Qingwan also refreshed her impression of her brother.
"Brother, did the group of people who came later behave in any unusual way?"
Those people were most likely sent by Ou Duo to find Fu Yuheng. If the time matches, then it's correct.
They only heard Brother Shen telling them in detail what happened at that time.
"Those people were not as lazy as the Daliang people when they entered the mountain. They had a clear purpose and even looked in the trees. Fortunately, we hid deep, otherwise we would have been discovered."
Fu Yuheng nodded approvingly, and then asked Brother Shen to take them to see those who had suffered with him.
Those soldiers had all been through hard times, and they were very reserved when they saw the emperor. They felt it was a great honor, which made Shen Qingwan a little jealous.
Fu Yuheng stood in front of them with his hands behind his back, showing the demeanor of an emperor. With his aura rising, no one dared to say a word and they all willingly submitted to him.
"Soldiers, you are the most brave and capable soldiers in Daliang. I am proud of you."
Those people watched Fu Yuheng speak excitedly.
"Although I am the emperor of Daliang, there are still many things I haven't done well enough. If I were smart enough, I wouldn't let you be in your current situation, and I wouldn't let anyone usurp my throne!"
There was no anger in these words, only deep guilt.
He felt sorry for these soldiers who had gone through wind and rain.
"Soldiers, I am the emperor of Daliang. As long as I have a good life, I will not let you suffer. Don't worry, one day I will take back everything that belongs to me and give you a legitimate identity."
"Thank you, my Lord!"
The soldiers knelt on the ground one after another, including Brother Shen, and bowed deeply to the emperor to whom they had always been loyal.
Fu Yuheng quickly called them up.
"That's right, big brother, don't force the emperor. He came here just to see if you are good enough. Besides, the day of our counterattack is not far away. Soldiers, if you hold on for a few more days, there will definitely be results."
When the soldiers heard Shen Qingwan's answer, they were all happy.
What they fear most is seeing no hope. Now that someone has given a clear answer, they just have to wait. That is the only thing they can and should do.
"Qing Wan is right, she is my wife, her words are my words, from today on, Fu Yuheng will come back, are you ready?"
The soldiers all answered in unison, they were ready.
Then, under the guidance of Brother Shen, they returned to where they should be in an orderly manner.
Brother Shen led them to the temporary camp he had built.
"Brother, is this where you usually rest?"
Brother Shen nodded.
In front of me was an open flat area, surrounded by deep grass and very high in elevation, not next to the road below.
There was a straw mat on the ground, which was big enough for many people to rest on, and it was also quick enough to evacuate, so they probably took turns sleeping on it.
Shen Qingwan couldn't help but feel sorry for her brother.
"Brother, thank you for your hard work. We are still living in a cave no matter how poor we are. By the way, I brought some food for you this time. I will use stones to carve a big pot later so that we can make soup and share it with everyone."
Brother Shen was very happy. Seeing the food was more appealing to him than anything else.
"Sister, you are so thoughtful. We haven't had any decent food in days. I was thinking about you and you came. Your Majesty, did she cause you any trouble?"
Fu Yuheng smiled and said, "No, Wanwan is naturally smart. There are many things I haven't thought of, but she did. She helped me a lot. Without her, I don't know what I would become."
Brother Shen naturally knew his sister's character, and he said this only to say a few good words on her behalf.
"Brother, I didn't bring shame to our Shen family. You don't have to worry about me."
Brother Shen finally felt relieved.
Not long after, a large pot carved out of a big stone was ready. It took several hours before the pot was barely enough to satisfy the soldiers. They ate up all the buns and pancakes, and Qingwan didn't even dare to snatch them from them.
After dinner, everyone was like ghosts, going to their respective places to stand guard or rest.
Shen Qingwan slept on the tree, looking at the stars in the sky, feeling particularly peaceful.
"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about your former life in the palace?"
Shen Qingwan asked Fu Yuheng.
He thought about it, hugged Shen Qingwan's arm, and said, "Yes."
"So what are you thinking about?"
She asked curiously, "Missing the Queen Mother, Missing the Princess of Consort De."
Qingwan also felt uncomfortable after hearing these words.
"The little princess will be fine with Hua Zhaoyi. Your Majesty, don't worry too much."
"I think it's a pity for Concubine De."
She should have lived a good life and raised the little princess well, but because of his negligence, a big mistake happened.
Qingwan didn't know how to comfort him, so she just held his hand tightly.
"Although my mother liked him before, she was still very good to me. Although he was not my biological son, she was very caring to me. She left suddenly, and I was a little at a loss."
He once thought about taking care of the old woman until her death, and acting as her son instead of her biological son, doing something he would never have the chance to do.
"This incident was just an accident. If I say it wasn't the Queen's doing, you won't believe me. But it has already happened. As the younger generation, we can only finish our future lives well. This will be the greatest comfort to her. In the future, when you burn paper money to worship her, say more good things to her. She will be relieved."
Qingwan's gentle and soft words soothed Fu Yuheng's desolate and sad heart.
"Wanwan, I am so lucky to have your comfort."
She was the most suitable woman for him in the world, but it was a pity that he had only discovered it now.
