Hope Should I Win Your Heart - C237 Empress Dowager's Reminder
It was rare for Shen Qingwan to have such an attitude, but Fu Yuheng felt that it was exceptionally moving. He reached out his hand to stroke her hair, shook his head and said, “Of course not, there are some things that are forced to be done in this world. If you ask me how deep your heart is, wouldn’t it be unforgivable? Moreover, these two people really should be cleaned up now. ”
He had been controlled by the Prime Minister Liu even after he had ascended the throne for so long. Although it was not very obvious now, he still felt uncomfortable. As for Fu Huaiyu, this Ninth Brother whom he had never held in high regard, actually had thoughts of rebelling.
Ever since he knew Fu Huaiyu’s thoughts, he had been looking for an opportunity to give him a crime. Shen Qingwan’s way of doing things had helped him. As for the profoundness of his mind, if he was able to reach the throne in this palace, how could he be lacking blood and gore? Compared to her, he was even better.
“Your Majesty, since you know about this matter, how do you plan to deal with it?” It’s true that the Ninth Prince and the Imperial Consort Liu are a mess, but it’s your ninth brother after all. ” Hearing this, the confusion in her eyes gradually disappeared and was replaced with clarity. Right now was not the time to think about such things. Furthermore, the reason she dared to frame two people like this was because she knew what he was thinking.
However, at this moment, Fu Yuheng had fallen silent. The image of the two leaving just a moment ago still appeared before his eyes. His gaze was filled with unwillingness and malice. “I haven’t thought about this yet. My beloved concubine, there’s no need to think any further.” After a moment of silence, he stood up and spoke slowly. He was still most worried about the Empress Dowager.
Now, although he respected the empress dowager, he wasn’t his own mother, but Fu Huaiyu’s birth mother. Now that Fu Huaiyu had been sentenced to prison, he would definitely be scolded. And if things went on like this, he and the empress dowager would inevitably fall out.
“The emperor told chenqie not to think too much. Chenqie should be more at ease with the emperor.” Knowing the reason behind his silence, Shen Qingwan opened her mouth again.
She knew this Empress Dowager very well. Even though it seemed like he didn’t care about the affairs of the country and didn’t care about anything, he was actually very protective of his own people. As a mother, she would have guessed Fu Huaiyu’s temper, but she did not try to stop him. However, the two of them seemed to be very strange, as if they had never met each other before. But perhaps the empress dowager already knew the news.
“It’s better for the emperor to sit down and rest for a while. Things have just progressed, so it’s better not to worry too much. After all, the emperor still has to deal with the rest of the matters.”
Fu Yuheng nodded. However, just as he took a sip of tea, the empress dowager sent someone over. “Your majesty, Esteemed Empress Dowager has invited you.”
Looking at Wu mama, Shen Qingwan faintly smiled, as she expected.
The reason the empress dowager asked the Gui mama to personally come and notify him this time was definitely because of Fu Huaiyu. After exchanging a glance with him helplessly, Fu Yuheng headed for the empress dowager’s palace.
She could only hope that the empress dowager didn’t say anything too excessive. After all, Fu Huaiyu’s crimes could already be punished by death.
After reaching the ancestral hall, Wu mama left, leaving behind two people.
“You’re here.” Hearing the commotion, the Empress Mother slowly stood up from the praying mat, ignoring Fu Yuheng who extended his hand in an attempt to support her.
How could she not worry when her own son was captured and sent to prison? “There’s no need to pay respects to This Dowager. This Dowager only wants to ask you, is the news from the palace true?” Her Majesty’s eyes were fixed on him, as if she was trying to find the slightest flaw in his words.
Fu Yuheng nodded as he saw the empress dowager’s feigned calmness. “Yes, the two of them were still undressed when Zhen arrived.” If not for Consort Xian discovering us, I’m afraid that we would not even know that such a huge hat has appeared. ” His tone was filled with anger.
He was the Emperor, the Ninth Paragon. It had always been someone else’s duty to respect him and please him. How could he not be angry? Although this was planned by someone, the fact that the two of them colluded with each other was a fact.
“That’s your ninth brother. Have you thought about how to deal with him?” The empress dowager’s eyes burned as she looked at him. No matter what, that was her flesh and blood. She could not allow him to be convicted just like that.
Everyone said that blood was thicker than water. Even though their relationship was not very good, it was still the result of her giving birth to a child in October.
Fu Yuheng avoided her gaze unintentionally. He knew that the empress dowager might not know about Fu Huaiyu’s plan to rebel, but he could not say it clearly either. “Please take a rest. We will make a decision on this matter.” Xiao Yan gently waved his sleeves and his lips moved a couple of times. In the end, he was unable to say anything.
“You! “Forget it, my words are useless …” A tear fell from the corner of her eye. She was the empress dowager now, but he was the emperor, and the world was his after all. The thing she didn’t want to see the most was probably something that could no longer be saved.
Fu Yuheng knew what she was thinking, but he still resolutely left.
Time seemed to be struggling with him, and these few days passed by very slowly. Fortunately, he was able to talk with Shen Qingwan from time to time, which made his mood a lot better.
“Your Majesty, the great hall is up ahead.” Seeing that he was in a good mood, Sun Gonggong reminded him softly from behind. He believed that Fu Yuheng would understand what he had to say.
Right now, it was not just the imperial court, he had to face all the ministers and officials of the imperial court, so their attitude towards Fu Huaiyu would definitely be different. There would be a lot of differences in opinion, and as his personal father-in-law, he was afraid that Fu Yuheng would feel annoyed.
“I know, I want to see what these old things can say now.” Fu Yuheng nodded and strode into the great hall. Under the gazes of the crowd, he sat down on the dragon throne, one step at a time.
“Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!” When the courtiers saw Fu Yuheng enter, they all knelt down to pay their respects. After receiving the command, they all stood up in unison. They looked at each other as if they had something to say.
As for the always active Prime Minister Liu, he closed his eyes and lowered his head, not daring to even raise his head to look at Fu Yuheng. He had begged him for so long, but not only had he not succeeded, he had even been seen as a joke by others.
What they wanted to talk about was naturally Fu Huaiyu, and the news of him being imprisoned in the Sky Prison quickly spread throughout the capital, but most of the people knew that he and Liu Chu Rong were in a mess, and very few people knew the truth, so many people wanted to plead on Fu Huaiyu’s behalf.
“Your majesty, this subject believes that the Ninth Prince may be at fault, but it’s not a crime worthy of death.” The first one to speak was the one with the best relationship with Prime Minister Liu, Vice Minister Li Yuhang. In the past, he was on the same side as the Prime Minister Liu, so he knew a lot of things, but now that he thought about it, he might just follow the wrong camp.
But even though he was not a small official, he was still raised up by the Prime Minister Liu, and the only one he could rely on now was him. Furthermore, the matter between the Ninth Prince and Imperial Consort Liu would definitely not be a small blow to the Prime Minister Liu. If the Prime Minister Liu lost his power, then it would probably not be an easy thing for him to do in the future, even if he were to face hundreds of civil and military officials.
