"Sister Xianfei..."
Li Jieyu was even more angry after hearing what Shen Qingwan said. She was already in the palace, so why was she pretending to be noble? But she couldn't get angry, after all, she still wanted to form an alliance with her to fight against the queen.
Li Jieyu hurriedly reached out and grabbed her wrist, preventing her from leaving.
But Shen Qingwan didn't want to get entangled with her, and subconsciously shook off her hand, but she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
Li Jieyu was also shocked when she saw this. She bent down and reached out to help, but was pushed away by Lianyun who was standing beside her. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Lianyun knelt beside Shen Qingwan to check if she was injured.
Shen Qingwan looked at Lianyun's wrinkled face, her big eyes staring at her with concern, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stop crying if she saw a wound. She struggled to get up and signaled Lianyun that she was fine.
Shen Qingwan stood up, straightened her clothes, dusted off her body, looked up at the bewildered Li Jieyu, her face turned cold. She didn't expect Li Jieyu to be so ignorant of propriety. No wonder the Queen warned her yesterday.
"Sister Xianfei, I..."
Li Jieyu couldn't help but feel frightened when she saw Shen Qingwan's gloomy face. She hurried to explain to her that she just wanted to stop her, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this. If she told others, she would be punished.
"Li Jieyu, I will not make public what happened today, but I cannot guarantee that others will not know about it. I have said that I do not like fighting, so you do not have to worry about me. You can take care of yourself!"
Shen Qingwan ignored Li Jieyu's expression and walked out with Lianyun.
"My lady, are you okay?"
After returning to the palace, Lianyun was still worried and asked Shen Qingwan again and again.
"It's okay, it's just that your leg is a little red and swollen, just go get an ice pack and apply it."
Shen Qingwan happily ate the peach blossom cake brought by the maid, hoping to make Lianyun feel at ease.
"How can this be possible? What if there is any accident? Let's call the imperial physician Xuan to see him!"
When Lianyun heard Shen Qingwan's indifferent tone, she became even more anxious and ran out in a panic.
"Slow down, don't fall."
Shen Qingwan looked at her little maid and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
But after a while she couldn't laugh anymore. Lianyun ran to find the imperial physician and in a short while the whole harem must have known about it, and Fu Yuheng must have known about it as well.
Thinking of this, she became a little worried. After all, she had not figured out how to face him. She was looking forward to his coming, but she didn't want to see him. This contradictory mood made Shen Qingwan at a loss.
After the morning court session, Fu Yuheng hurried to find Shen Qingwan. On the way, he saw a woman in gorgeous clothes, standing gracefully beside him.
"Your Majesty, I am honored to see you. It has been a long time since you have visited me. Have you forgotten me?"
Liu Churong saw Fu Yuheng and hurried over, speaking in a coquettish voice.
Although Fu Yuheng felt disgusted in his heart, he did not show it at all. He calmly withdrew his arm from Liu Churong's grasp.
"I have something important to do today, so please leave first!"
"Your Majesty." Liu Churong bit her lips unwillingly. In fact, she knew in her heart that the emperor no longer favored her. He said he had something important to do, but he was just going to find Shen Qingwan.
"The Queen is ill." Liu Churong bit her lips tightly and shouted out those words as she looked at Fu Yuheng's back as he was about to leave. Even though she was the Queen, she didn't want Shen Qingwan to get away with it.
Fu Yuheng stopped. The queen was sick, and as her husband, he should visit her no matter what. "Let's go." Fu Yuheng took Liu Churong to the queen's palace.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Xiao Shushen heard the report from a distance, and she hurriedly looked at Nanny Gui, "Mammy, do you think this is okay for me? Does it look good?" Xiao Shushen tidied her hair, and her face actually blushed a little.
"Very well." Nanny Gui calmly tidied the quilt for the queen and gave her a calm look.
Fu Yuheng brought Liu Churong into the palace, but did not see the queen.
"Empress, the Emperor is here to see you!"
Liu Churong called out as she led the emperor into the inner room. The queen struggled to stand up and kowtow, but was stopped by Fu Yuheng.
"Since the Queen is not feeling well, please do not perform the ceremony. Just take care of yourself."
"Your Majesty, I am fine." Xiao Shushen did not stand up, but just leaned on the pillow, looking at Fu Yuheng with satisfaction. "I am fine, it's all their fault for making a fuss and disturbing Your Majesty. Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, so he doesn't need to accompany me."
Fu Yuheng looked at Xiao Shushen, reluctant to move his sight away, which made Xiao Shushen's scalp tingle.
"Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with me?"
"It's okay. Since the Queen is so magnanimous, I will get busy." Fu Yuheng tucked the quilt for Xiao and continued with what she had said before. Since someone wanted to pretend to be magnanimous, he didn't want to dampen her interest.
"Emperor..." Xiao Shushen's smile froze on her face. That was not what she meant. She didn't expect the emperor to continue talking along with her words.
Xiao Shushen winked at Nanny Gui, who immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please try to persuade our queen!"
"What is Aunt Gui doing?"
"Our queen has been ill for quite some time. She was afraid that the emperor would be distracted after knowing her condition, so she was reluctant to send the imperial physician to see her. If the noble lady hadn't brought the emperor here today, my queen's illness would have become even more serious."
Aunt Gui was also an old lady with many years of experience. She controlled her emotions very well. She knelt down in front of Fu Yuheng with tears and snot.
"Madame Gui..." Xiao Shushen pretended to be angry and scolded Madame Gui, then turned to look at the emperor weakly, "Your Majesty, don't listen to the nonsense of these servants, I'm fine, ahem, I..."
Fu Yuheng had a gloomy face and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.
The queen looked at Fu Yuheng and winked at Liu Churong.
"Your Majesty, I also know that the Empress has been ill for quite some time, but because she didn't want Your Majesty to worry, she never sent for the imperial physician to see her."
"Madam Gui, go get the imperial physician."
"emperor."
Fu Yuheng's face became more gloomy. "Queen, you are the mother of a country. Your body is not only your own. You must not be willful next time."
Xiao Shushen looked at Fu Yuheng, tears welling up in her eyes. She carefully asked about the purpose of today's event, "Your Majesty, can you stay with me tonight?"
Everyone present looked at Fu Yuheng. The Queen nervously pinched the corner of the quilt, while Liu Churong bit her lip, her jealousy was self-evident.
"Don't worry, Queen. I will definitely be here to take care of you."
No matter how reluctant Fu Yuheng was, she was still his queen and his first wife. As for Concubine Xian, he would have to go see her tomorrow.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. Aunt Gui, please ask the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes that Your Majesty likes today."
