Hope Should I Win Your Heart - C241 Jiangnan foothold
On the way back, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. How could his subordinates be so daring? ”
His footsteps paused for a moment, and then he suddenly recalled Fu Yuheng’s words about Fu Huaiyu possibly having a substitute. Since she could use a death sentence to exchange Wen Ling for one, then Fu Huaiyu should be able to …
Thinking of this, Shen Qingwan couldn’t help but nod her head. Furthermore, once Fu Huaiyu went out, what kind of things would they face … Shen Qingwan didn’t dare to think further.
“Hurry up, I need to get back to the palace as soon as possible.” Right now, she could only quickly tell Fu Yuheng the news. Even if she was overthinking it, she should still be prepared for it. They would rather believe it to be true than not.
It was already night by the time they arrived at the palace. However, Shen Qingwan was not in the mood to rest. She changed her clothes and headed towards his sleeping quarters. The anxious look in her eyes caused Fu Yuheng to feel a little puzzled.
“What happened? Did something happen?” Fu Yuheng gently said as he pulled Shen Qingwan along. He really couldn’t think of anything that could cause her to lose her composure. Furthermore, she had even directly arrived at his chambers.
“Nothing happened. It’s just that chenqie remembered something.” Perhaps chenqie was overthinking things. But Your Majesty, you should listen to chenqie speak. I’m afraid this matter … ” Shen Qingwan shook her head and bit her lips, “Chenqie only suddenly thought of it. I hope the emperor won’t take offense to it.”
“Oh? “What is it? Tell me.” He frowned slightly as he reached out his hand to brush away her tightly biting lips.
“It’s about the double …” She told him what she had in mind without changing a single bit, and her eyes turned serious.
He did not feel that she was just making a guess out of nowhere. Since Fu Huaiyu had been able to endure by his side for so many years, it was enough to see his personality.
“Yes, I understand.” Fu Yuheng nodded with furrowed brows. Now, the people outside only knew about him and Liu Chugrong, and thought that they were just messing around in the palace.
The ministers of the imperial court knew something, but they couldn’t let him kill Fu Huaiyu now. He still needed some evidence. Shen Qingwan knew that he was worried, so she also pondered on the side.
At the same time, Sun Ning also walked in. He glanced at Shen Qingwan before kneeling down, “Your majesty, this is a message from Imperial Guard Lin, it was sent by a pigeon at the fastest speed possible.” She even emphasized on the pronunciation of the word ‘message’, making people feel that it was not normal.
Shen Qing Wan walked over and took the slip of paper from Sun Ning’s hands, wanting to pass it to him.
“My beloved concubine, read it out for This Emperor.” Fu Yuheng closed his eyes and gestured for her to read it to him.
Sun Ning knew his place and left. They should not care too much about master’s matters, so they only needed to appear at the right time.
Shen Qingwan slowly opened the slip of paper. It was indeed Lin Feng’s handwriting, and it clearly stated what happened at the border.
It turned out that Liu Yangao had inadvertently revealed Fu Huaiyu’s plan after getting drunk. It turned out that not only Hu Youshan, but even in the Jiangnan Region, there was still a stronghold.
“Jiangnan? He sure knows how to pick a place. ” Fu Yuheng sneered coldly upon hearing this. Earlier on, he hadn’t thought too much into it when he was sent to deal with the Jiangnan flood disaster. But now, it seemed that his usually idle younger brother had truly committed a great deed in Jiangnan that was beyond his expectations!
“Your Majesty …” Shen Qingwan gritted her teeth. Elite soldier? A death soldier, I’m afraid!
“Now it seems that they will surely take action!”
Fortunately, they were not completely in the dark. At least, they knew what his ability was, so they could be on guard against any unforeseen events.
“Yes.” Fu Yuheng nodded in agreement and continued, “Since he is unwilling to give up, I’ll let him know who the master of this world is.”
As she spoke, she slammed the table, causing Shen Qingwan to be shocked, “It’s getting late, the emperor should rest early, chenqie will take her leave first.” Fu Huaiyu had already informed him of the news, so he should also tell Li Ruotong about Lin Feng.
After leaving the residential hall, Shen Qingwan went straight to Li Ruotong. Seeing her slim face, she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
“Why is elder sister here? It’s already so late.” Elder sister’s health is not good, so don’t come out at night from now on. ” Seeing her coming over, Li Ruotong forced a smile.
Ever since she found out about the incident with Lin Feng, she had been dispirited and was worried that Lin Feng might be worried too much. She didn’t even pay much attention to the news of Liu Chugrong’s accident a few days ago.
“Don’t worry about me for now. Are you still worried about the Imperial Guard Lin?” Holding her hand, Shen Qingwan teased. If this girl knew that Lin Feng was fine, she would be so happy.
In front of her, she did not try to hide her emotions, and nodded as if tears were about to fall, “Elder sister, do you know how it feels to be worried about someone? I wish I could fly to him right now and see how he’s doing. ”
Shen Qingwan gently wiped off the tears from the corner of her eyes, but immediately smiled, “You, don’t worry, Imperial Guard Lin just sent a message, it should be fine.”
Seeing that she did not seem to believe him, she continued, “From the looks of it, the handwriting is very powerful. After everything in the imperial court is settled, Imperial Guard Lin will return to the capital, at that time … ” She didn’t finish what she wanted to say before the person in front of her froze.
A strong sense of joy filled Li Ruotong’s mind, and even the hand holding her was trembling a little, “Really? Sister, really? He’s fine, that’s great. ” As she spoke, he couldn’t help but cry.
The person she thought about day and night was safe. This was the greatest joy for her, so she could understand why she couldn’t control herself. Shen Qingwan could only let her cry, but not comfort her.
“But you still have to be careful. You have also seen the situation in the palace. It has been quite chaotic recently, so you better be careful not to get caught up in any trouble. ” She could not help but exhort her repeatedly. After all, it was better to be careful when in trouble.
This girl was young and didn’t have any schemes, so she wasn’t safe in the imperial harem. She still needed his help.
“Alright, I understand.” Li Ruotong nodded his head when he heard him, there were still some tears on his eyelashes, and she sighed once again.
Knowing that Lin Feng was fine, she felt a lot more relieved. She then thought about Liu Chugrong’s situation, “But big sister, how is Imperial Consort Liu now? I also heard about the matter between her and the Ninth Prince. But that’s good too, it’s all retribution! ”
She didn’t like him from the start, but now that something had happened, she only felt a sense of relief and schadenfreude.
