Fu Yuheng didn't have the heart to pay attention to this memorial. He wanted to relax because the weather outside was good, but he walked outside Shen Qingwan's bedroom unconsciously. His eyes flickered, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Sun beside him reminded softly that as servants, they were not in a position to talk about the matter of Concubine Xian. However, seeing their master in such a state, they were very worried. After all, they were supposed to share their master's worries, but now they were of no use at all. "If you can't let it go, Your Majesty might as well go and see the Concubine..."
"Forget it, let's go back to the imperial study."
The sunny day outside the window made the palace more lively, and the melodious bird calls made Shen Qingwan feel a little absent-minded.
It is just a dream after all. I envy this free bird. Although I don’t know the future, it has its own world. But I can’t even fit a corner of this world.
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen..." The voice of the Imperial Guards came from outside the door. Xiao Shushen, supported by her own palace maid, came to Shen Qingwan's bedroom.
“Empress, the Emperor has issued an order…” The Imperial Guard looked a little embarrassed, but the person in front of him was not someone he could take on.
"How dare you!" The maid behind him glared, but was stopped by Xiao Shushen, "How can you be so rude? Why don't you leave!" With a gentle cold shout, the maid couldn't help but tremble her neck, "Yes, Queen."
Xiao Shushen's eyes turned slightly, and she said softly: "I also know that you are in trouble, but I feel very sad to see my sister like this now. If you are really in trouble, I will not bother you anymore." She spoke in a tactful tone, which fully demonstrated the magnanimity and tolerance of a mother of a country, which made the royal guards beside her feel flattered.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. Your Majesty is kind-hearted, and you have taken a risk today. Please come in, Your Majesty, but..." The imperial guards on both sides looked at each other.
"I understand. I will not make things difficult for you two. I just want to have a conversation with my sister..." Xiao Shushen seemed very understanding. The imperial guards were full of admiration and made a detour to the side to make it easier for the queen to enter.
The palace maid behind her gently pushed the door open. Xiao Shushen waved her hand and asked the little palace maids to wait outside.
"Your Majesty... But..."
Seeing the worry in the maid's eyes, Xiao Shushen smiled and said, "It's okay."
In sight, she was sitting at a stone table in plain clothes, holding a zither, but she didn't play it. However, her calm look made Shen Qingwan look elegant and graceful. Xiao Shushen narrowed her eyes. Even if she was beautiful, she was just a prisoner!
"Oh, sister really envies younger sister for being able to live such an easy and leisurely life. I guess only younger sister can imagine such a carefree life!" The queen's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, but to Shen Qingwan, she was just a poor person whose eyes were blinded by jealousy.
"I never thought that my sister is like this now, and has no manners at all. Oh, I remember now, my sister can even kill the princess, how could she care about these things!" She was a little annoyed. She didn't expect that she would be so presumptuous. She was also the queen, but she had no respect for her. She was obviously a murderer, but she could get the favor of Fu Yuheng, and even for Shen Qingwan, she almost offended all the civil and military officials in the court!
On what basis? How was she inferior to Shen Qingwan? But this little bitch was really lucky. She was tortured in the cell, but she didn't die!
Although he hoped that Shen Qingwan would die quickly, he still had to keep up appearances for the sake of face.
"If it were an ordinary person, whoever plotted to murder the royal heir would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago. But unfortunately, the virtuous concubine is not an ordinary person. Even now that the evidence is solid, she can still turn right into wrong!" Xiao Shushen mocked mercilessly. When she saw Shen Qingwan's nonchalant look, she became inexplicably furious and wanted to tear her to pieces.
"But so what? Even if the emperor wants to protect you, you are nothing but a criminal who plotted to murder the royal heir!" This was a sarcastic remark to Xiao Shushen.
Shen Qingwan had an indifferent look on her face. She had heard such words many times and her heart had long been numb. But looking at Xiao Shushen's current appearance, she couldn't help but find it ridiculous. What did everything now have to do with her
Your own life and death are just like those of an ant!
The distant and cold eyes, and the slow turn of his head, made the fire in Xiao Shushen's heart burn even more vigorously.
Suddenly she thought of something, and the anger in her eyes began to fade away. Unconsciously, she felt a little gloating. Now, Shen Qingwan was imprisoned here. There must be some things she didn't know yet. If she knew, she didn't know what expression she would have.
"Alas, it's really a bad year now, with wars breaking out from time to time on the border, which is really upsetting. But fortunately, the emperor is wise and brave, and has sent a highly respected general. I believe that it won't be long before the country can return to its former stability." The casual words made Shen Qingwan feel alert. What Xiao Shushen said could not be groundless. Now that she was locked up here, she was almost completely unaware of what was happening outside!
General? Could it be possible!
"Aren't you curious about who it is? And speaking of which, this is related to my sister." The queen had a smug look on her face. "Now I won't tease my sister anymore. This person is none other than the famous General Shen! You say, isn't it just around the corner to suppress the border?" She parted her red lips slightly, her phoenix eyes slightly raised, as if she was watching a good show.
Originally, Shen Qingwan had vaguely guessed this from Xiao Shushen's words just now. Haha, this general with the surname Shen in the court could only be her father. Sure enough, her guess came true.
I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy in my heart. And when I think about it carefully, I am facing such a situation now, but I have sent my father to the border to suppress it. This can't help but make people alert.
"Oh, I was afraid that my sister would be bored here, so I told her this news."
Shen Qingwan was completely unaware of Xiao Shushen's voice, but she hoped in her heart that she was just worrying too much.
I prayed silently in my heart, hoping that nothing unexpected would happen when I went out to suppress the border this time!
Seeing a hint of anger on her face, Xiao Shushen felt that her goal had been achieved. A smile flashed in her eyes, and she left.
