The imperial physician lowered his head, looking somewhat worried, "In reply to the emperor, the virtuous concubine was already weak due to the injuries on her body, but the wounds were obviously soaked in water, which led to inflammation. Coupled with the cold, this caused a fever. She is still weak now, but it is obvious that someone gave her medicine before, which saved her life." The imperial physician seemed relieved.
If someone hadn't fed her medicine, what we would be seeing now would probably be a corpse.
"What did you say!" Fu Yuheng grabbed the imperial physician by the collar, and even his eyes seemed to be glowing red.
The impulse took over his reason for a moment, until the imperial physician struggled a few times and his face turned red, he finally came back to his senses from his anger.
She almost died! He clearly didn't order her to do this to him, how could this happen!
With doubts in his heart, the expression on his face calmed down a little. He glanced at the imperial physician in his hand and threw him aside.
"Hmph!" Fu Yuheng snorted coldly, knowing in his heart that the person who saved Shen Qingwan's life this time must be his ninth brother Fu Huaiyu. He was a man who knew how to feel sorry for others, but this person was not the one he should feel sorry for, because she was his concubine!
There was a sharp light in his eyes, and his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. Perhaps he was really careless this time. If Fu Huaiyu hadn't come to find him, he probably wouldn't have gone to the prison to see her, and naturally he wouldn't have known about her situation. He was afraid that she would really die by then.
After taking a look at the person lying on the bed, Fu Yuheng sat down and gently stroked her cheek with his fingers. The person in front of him no longer had the same lively look as before. All that was left was a pale face and weak breathing. Even though he had been staring at her for so long, she didn't react at all.
"It's my fault." He sighed slightly.
As an emperor, he was the one who controlled the world and could make clouds and rain with a wave of his hand. But now, he made mistakes even in such a small matter.
For a moment, he felt a little sarcastic about himself. People always said he was domineering and decisive, but now...
"You all go down first." He waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat first. "Imperial Physician, the virtuous concubine will be left in your care for a while. If there is anything you need, just tell me directly." He specifically instructed the imperial physician and then continued to stare at the person on the bed.
Shen Qingwan's eyelashes fluttered gently, but there was no sign of waking up.
"I'm sorry for making you suffer this time." Fu Yuheng said to himself, "I never thought that I have the whole world in my heart, but I can't even handle such a small matter."
He smiled bitterly. He still had no clue about Shen Qingwan's matter. If she knew, she would probably laugh at him. After all, she was such a smart person.
It's not that he didn't want to let her out, nor that he had no feelings for her, but he couldn't. He was under pressure from all sides, and if he took a wrong step, he would fall into the abyss.
This world doesn't really belong to him alone.
"But how could you do that? How could you have such an ambiguous relationship with my ninth brother? Don't you know that you are my woman? Or do you simply don't know what shame is?" Thinking of this, he felt a little angry again.
She is his concubine, how can she throw herself into the arms of other men, how can she hook up with other men!
But now looking at her like this, he can only feel helpless. How can he punish her when she is like this!
Shen Qingwan's fingers moved slightly at this time. Fu Yuheng lowered his head and happened to see this scene. He was slightly happy. He raised his head, shook her body, and called her name a few times, but the person on the bed did not respond at all, which made him happy in vain.
"Forget it, it's me who's possessed by the devil." He smiled sarcastically. Perhaps he was too tired, which was why he was like this today.
She is a prisoner now, and everything has not been decided yet before the truth comes out. How can he be so blinded by his children's love
"Take good care of her." He strode out quickly, called the maid beside him and told her to let her have a good rest for the time being.
We will make a final decision on everything after she wakes up.
The jailer collapsed to the ground, thinking back to Fu Yuheng's majestic figure, and swallowed hard.
"Someone, someone, come."
The sound came out of his mouth and his whole body was gasping for breath, as if he had survived a disaster.
"Boss, what's the matter?" The jailer heard the boss's voice, ran over, and looked at him in confusion, not knowing what had happened.
"Quick, go tell the Queen, Her Majesty, that the virtuous concubine has been taken away by the Emperor."
The jailer looked anxious. Seeing that the jailer was not in good condition, he went up and slapped him. However, the jailer had just been in imminent danger of death and had no strength in his hands.
The jailer didn't understand what was going on, so he ran out in a panic and told Xiao Shushen everything.
When Xiao Shushen heard the news from her subordinates, her heart was in her throat.
"What did you say?" He asked again with an incredulous look on his face, unwilling to believe this fact.
"Reporting to the queen, the people below have reported that the emperor went to the prison to see the virtuous concubine, and the virtuous concubine was carried out by the emperor himself."
Resigned to her fate and closing her eyes, Xiao Shushen let a line of tears fall from her eyes. It was as if all the strength in her body was sucked away. She felt as if someone was covering her mouth and nose and she was about to suffocate.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…” Nanny Gui supported Xiao Shushen, who was about to kneel on the ground, and looked at her face worriedly.
"Mammy, he, he actually carried her out personally. I have been married to the emperor for many years, but he has never hugged me. Even when we were together, he wouldn't even give me a smile." Xiao Shushen hugged Mammy Gui and buried her head in her arms. Her voice was depressed with a hint of despair. She was not hysterical, but just venting her emotions calmly. This calm venting was even more frightening.
"Empress, no matter what, you are the emperor's wife, and the only one who can be buried with the emperor in the imperial mausoleum after death." Nanny Gui looked at her with pity, carefully helped her to the bed, and spoke to comfort her.
Hsiao Shu-shen ignored her and was lost in her own thoughts, with tear marks on her cheeks.
"Your Majesty, please don't be like this. There is still a long way to go. After all, you are the Empress. Even if you cannot overthrow her this time, there will always be next time." Aunt Gui's eyes moistened as she looked at the decadent and lost Xiao Shushen.
"Oh, Shen Qingwan, she's quite a good person. If I had known earlier, I should never have underestimated her. It's my fault." Xiao Shushen sighed softly and closed her eyes.
In fact, she just loved him too much. It was Aunt Gui who spoke earlier, "Don't worry, after all, the crime of killing the princess is still on her head."
