Fu Yuheng has not come since he was angered and left by Shen Qingwan last time. Lianyun supported her cheek and waited outside the window eagerly, afraid of missing the emperor.
"Lianyun, what are you doing?" Shen Qingwan looked at Lianyun in confusion. She was really curious about her behavior. This little girl has been staring at the door in a daze for several days. If she continues standing like this, she will probably become a husband-waiting stone.
When Lianyun heard Shen Qingwan's question, she didn't turn her head, and didn't even give her a glance. Her delicate little face was full of seriousness, and she almost didn't dare to blink.
"The emperor has not come since last time. I will keep an eye on the door for you. If you see the emperor, I will know immediately."
Shen Qingwan shook her head with a wry smile and let out a long sigh. After going through so many things, she seemed to have become more stable.
"Lianyun, don't bother, the emperor won't come." She reached out and picked up a book she often read. Although Shen Qingwan had memorized the book, she still had new insights when she read it again now.
"Master, don't say such discouraging words. I will definitely come." Lianyun came close to Shen Qingwan, and felt even more distressed when she saw her desireless appearance. She puffed out her little mouth and shook her head like a rattle.
"I'm a criminal now, how dare I ask for anything?" Shen Qingwan looked at the innocent and lovely Lianyun and finally smiled a little, but soon her face was filled with listlessness. She really couldn't breathe in this yard, and she didn't know how her father was doing.
Lianyun listened to Shen Qingwan's words and became depressed and a little discouraged. "Master, don't say that. You are so kind, you are not the murderer of the princess!"
In fact, she still felt a little resentful towards the emperor in her heart. After all, it was he who turned Shen Qingwan into this state. However, the fact that he personally carried Shen Qingwan out did make Lianyun grateful to him.
"You believe it, but others don't. It doesn't matter if I killed him or not. They just want to get the answer they think is right."
Shen Qingwan looked at the scenery outside the window. The flowers and plants in the yard were so bright and beautiful, but as long as someone thought they were an eyesore, they would be eradicated without leaving any trace of their existence.
"Master, please don't say that. The emperor will give you justice."
Lianyun really didn't know how to comfort Shen Qingwan. Ever since Shen Qingwan was rescued from prison, she seemed to have changed a lot, but she couldn't put her finger on what exactly.
Shen Qingwan listened to her comfort and said nothing, but just laughed it off. I'm afraid even Fu Yuheng doesn't believe me, how can I dare to hope that he will clear my name? It seems that I still have to investigate this matter myself.
"Lianyun, I'm hungry. Go and get me some food." Shen Qingwan was feeling depressed and couldn't read even half a page of the book in her hand. She closed the book and put it on the table, then sent Lianyun out to get food.
Watching her leaving, Shen Qingwan looked around alone, Fu Yuheng's angry face appeared in her mind, and his words were vivid in her mind.
Propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame? How could she not know
Thinking of what Fu Yuheng said that day, Shen Qingwan felt helpless, because no matter how she explained, the seeds of suspicion had already been planted in his heart.
Thinking back to the several times Fu Huaiyu had rescued him, he felt even more headache. How did he end up getting into trouble with such a difficult person? Why did he save him again and again? What exactly did he want to do
Thinking of Fu Huaiyu, Shen Qingwan's eyes narrowed slightly. He told her that day that he wanted her to leave with him.
Although the Ninth Prince is dangerous, he doesn't seem to have hurt her so far. On the contrary, he has saved her several times. Her current situation is worrying, and he is a good choice. However, if she really surrenders to him, what kind of situation will her father and the entire general's mansion be in? Shen Qingwan can't imagine it. What's more, his mind is too difficult to see through. To her, he is even more dangerous than Fu Yuheng.
Just thinking about it alone, after several reflections, her mind became clearer.
Shen Qingwan was hesitating because of Fu Huaiyu's words, but the culprit had already left the capital and headed straight for Hu Youshan with a group of people.
"Your Majesty, this horse has been shaking all the way and can't run fast. Why don't we rest here and take a break before continuing on our journey?"
The people following Fu Huaiyu asked cautiously and observed his attitude carefully.
Fu Huaiyu glanced sideways and saw that the group of people were indeed a little tired. He held the reins with both hands. The horse he was sitting on took a step forward and immediately stopped, "Okay, let's rest here!"
Everyone relaxed when they heard this, got off their horses, found some water, and dispersed to different places. Some fed the horses, and some sat on the ground.
The man who had just asked the question fetched a pot of water from the lake, ran to Fu Huaiyu, and handed it to him, "Your Majesty, have a drink of water."
Fu Huaiyu was not shy. He took the water and poured it into his mouth. His Adam's apple rolled up on his fair neck. He didn't care that some water spilled on his clothes.
"Shua..."
Just when Fu Huaiyu was about to hand the water back, he heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed. Fu Huaiyu's heart immediately became alert, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The people around shouted to be careful, and Fu Huaiyu also picked up his sword. His expression did not change, but the hand holding the sword secretly exerted force.
Hearing the noises coming from all around, they all moved closer to him, looking around for enemies hiding nearby.
The relaxed atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant, and a tense atmosphere permeated among everyone. The man who brought him water stood in front of Fu Huaiyu. Fu Huaiyu gestured for him to step back without caring, looked at the place where the sound was made just now, and raised his voice.
"You haven't shown up yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of men in black rushed out from all directions, surrounded them, and after a careful count, their number was almost twice theirs.
The atmosphere was suddenly filled with murderous intent. At this moment, you could hear the sound of a leaf falling. Birds flew between the mountains and forests, and rushed into the sky. The sounds echoed in the sky, sharp and fierce.
But Fu Huaiyu did not take them seriously, but wondered in his heart who sent them.
He bowed slightly, standing among the crowd, with extraordinary bearing, and his voice was clear but also contained murderous intent.
"Everyone, since you want to kill me, can you please let me know who bought my life?"
The men in black said nothing. The leader waved his hand and everyone drew their swords.
The people under Fu Huaiyu's command stood with their backs to Fu Huaiyu in a fighting state, staring at the man in black in front of them with serious expressions, not daring to slack off for a moment.
Seeing this, Fu Huaiyu smiled even more, "Oh, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink a penalty!"
