In his heart, he completely agreed with Shen Qingwan's words, but on the surface he still held on to a glimmer of hope, unwilling to believe that there was really no future.
Shen Qingwan patted his shoulder.
Before we even reached the inn, there were already people in the private rooms on the second floor of Baixiang Tower. That day happened to be the day for purchasing goods for the palace.
Shen Qingwan stared at the light green gown upstairs and reluctantly looked away.
She also thought of sending someone to inform Fu Yuheng. Not only was this inn full of the Queen's spies, but Fu Yuheng had also placed secret sentries in the busiest places, specifically to collect intelligence and contact her.
I didn't expect this person to come.
"It's the same as always. I'm going to Baiweilou to talk to the boss. It's nothing important. If you want to buy something, go ahead. I'll wait for you here. Don't be late."
"good."
Her only responsibility is to check the account books, and she will take care of the rest.
After entering the inn, I found the owner but didn't buy any wine. Instead, I ordered a few signature dishes and sat in the hall waiting.
With a sudden change of thought, he ran out to find the eunuch to explain his purpose.
"I haven't taken a bath in a long time. Since I have nothing to do today, how about you and I take a private room each and take a good bath to loosen up our muscles?"
The young eunuch was also quite favored by the steward. He glanced at the scorching sun and readily agreed.
While soaking in the bathtub, Shen Qingwan felt comfortable from the bottom of her heart.
There were voices coming from the beams.
"You are honest. Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Queen's spies again?"
"You know?"
Fu Yuheng flipped down from above and stood in front of the bathtub with his brother in his arms, with a "treasure sword" placed in the middle, pretending to be a martial artist. Shen Qingwan couldn't help laughing.
"Husband, you should get one of these in the future. I think it's good and very refreshing."
Fu Yuheng glanced at her, and the next second he straightened his posture seriously, which made Qingwan laugh again.
"That person was so low-ranking, only people like him would be willing to follow a master like the queen. My people are ten times stronger than him."
"Has the person been dealt with?"
"certainly."
Shen Qingwan frowned, knowing that she had to do this.
"What are you doing?"
Fu Yuheng was displeased.
He seemed to see disapproval on her face. She was indecisive and soft-hearted, and he never admired her.
"No, I just think you can handle it in a gentler way. After all, he is just a young man working for someone else."
That man did not want their lives. Morally speaking, he was just using them as tools to save his own life. In the end, he did not really succeed, and they died because of her. Shen Qingwan always felt uneasy.
"We have to kill more than one person along the way. If you can't get through this, withdraw from the palace as soon as possible to avoid losing your life."
Shen Qingwan got angry as expected.
"Why are you always targeting me? I just can't adapt to it for a while, but I didn't say I can't do it in the future. It's just a process. How did I offend you?"
This man hasn't been weird for a long time, Shen Qingwan is a little uncomfortable.
He lowered his head and no longer looked at Fu Yuheng.
Fu Yuheng used a wooden spoon to add some hot water to her water, then sat down beside the tub and said sullenly, "What's going on between you and that eunuch?"
"What's going on?"
He was confused by Shen Qingwan's question and didn't realize that she was talking about the little eunuch. Looking at Fu Yuheng's eyes, who was asking questions even though he knew the answer, he suddenly realized something and found it funny.
"Why is he involved? He is just my companion on the same errand. He is not worth your anger."
"Who's angry with him? I told you to stay away from him! You patted his shoulder today."
Fu Yuheng emphasized it very seriously, and Shen Qingwan held back her laughter and agreed.
"I'm counting on him to bring me news in the future. How can I help you if you don't like him like this?"
Fu Yuheng said without thinking: "In the middle of every month in the future, I will go to your place to talk with you. We can still meet without him."
Guard Ye's mind is full of Concubine Qi. If he is not taken to see her, he will probably go crazy.
Shen Qingwan was worried.
"You'd better not go into the palace. Who knows if there are any spies or experts of the Queen there? People are outsiders, and there are mountains outside mountains. You don't know what the situation will be like when the time comes."
Fu Yuheng is still very confident.
"Those people are of low character. I don't even take them seriously. If the queen is really involved with them, Daliang's luck will be over."
Shen Qingwan sighed: "You know better than me, just know the limits."
"Then I will come to see you at the end of this month and take Ye Feng to see Concubine Qi."
"So fast? What are you doing?"
"Don't do anything. Let Ye Feng and Concubine Qi meet."
Shen Qingwan was helpless, thinking that it was not easy for the two of them. Although the situation was very tense at the moment, it was worth a try for the sake of Concubine Qi's spirit.
"Okay, husband, then we'll see you at the end of the month."
About a quarter of an hour passed after this conversation. Shen Qingwan took a quick shower and returned to Baixiang Tower.
A young eunuch with a shaved head was found at Nanyu's place.
"What's going on?"
Shen Qingwan couldn't help but ask.
The young eunuch looked behind him in confusion.
"When I showed up just now, something hit me from behind. It still hurts."
Shen Qingwan leaned over and took a look. Wow, what a huge bag.
Fu Yuheng, this petty man...
This was the first time that Shen Qingwan saw the "deceased" emperor of Daliang jealous.
I'm quite happy...
Back in the imperial kitchen, the weather was hot, and ice cubes were three taels of gold more expensive, which was only affordable for the rich. It was the hottest time of the summer, and Shen Qingwan found a break to stop and rest her sore feet.
Unexpectedly, in just a short while, something went wrong with the work Shen Qingwan was doing.
The junior steward, who was one level younger than the housekeeper, and who also had a grudge against Shen Qingwan, finally found an excuse to find fault. She hurried over to stun everyone in the imperial kitchen, and went to find the housekeeper to judge the matter.
Shen Qingwan was not afraid.
When the nanny was sitting at the table drinking tea, she could see clearly the various looks of the people below and knew what was going on.
This must be Murong Wan, that fool who tried to stand out, being used as a gun by others.
Look at how proud she is, it's hard for people not to know.
Shen Qingwan sneered: "Madam, please understand. I have been picking up the chicken since I came back. I haven't put down the vegetarian side, and I am also responsible for the meat side. The specific matters were all told by the little palace maid, and I did everything according to the requirements. If there is really a mistake, then Madam will have to call the little palace maid over to confront me."
Mammy waved her hand and agreed: "Go, bring the person here, it's true, don't let it be fake, don't let someone make trouble out of nothing, I can't stand it the most."
Murong Wan felt a little uneasy, but when she thought of the plan she had overheard from Leng Xiang, which was foolproof, she calmed down.
