Hope Should I Win Your Heart - C250 deliberate concealment

“Did you clearly see that person’s appearance?” Fu Yuheng was a bit angry when he walked over to her side. She really had quite the guts. Even though she was assassinating in the harem, it seemed that there were still quite a few worms there.

Shen Qingwan shook her head, “No.” Because she did not hold the candle flame, her vision was completely dark. In addition to the fact that the person was also wearing a mask, she could only vaguely see the person’s figure, “Furthermore, it looks like he is an assassin. Even if she knows his appearance, she would have already escaped from the palace.”

“Yes.” The atmosphere suddenly turned silent. The imperial physician had rushed over at this moment and was rather helpless when he saw the injured person. Was it this master again?

As if she had guessed his thoughts, she could only smile and nod, “Sorry for the trouble.” His words made the imperial physician feel rather embarrassed.

“Your majesty!” At this time, Lin Feng came in from the outside and bowed towards Fu Yuheng.

“How is it?” He frowned slightly and asked about the result.

Lin Feng shook his head, “That person seems to have a thorough plan. The moment we left the courtyard, he sped up, and with a few turns, he had already disappeared. He seems to be familiar with the palace’s roads.” It was rather strange. Logically speaking, with their skills, it shouldn’t be difficult to catch a little thief. However, this person was extremely slippery, using the palace’s topography extremely cleverly.

“Your majesty, may chenqie return to the General’s Estate for a few days?” Shen Qingwan looked at the already bandaged wound. The suggestion was that they would be more careful in the harem. These days, they had been physically and mentally exhausted.

When he heard this, his face turned slightly cold, but the imperial physician actually spoke up as well. “I’m afraid the Empress has overworked herself these days and is already very weak. If I stay at the palace, it might not be good for my wounds to recover.”

Shen Qingwan’s reputation had always been pretty good in the palace, and the people from the Imperial Physician’s Palace knew that as well. Seeing how tired she was, even he felt pity for her.

He pursed his lips, but Fu Yuheng was still clearly slightly unwilling. However, looking at her pale complexion, he finally gave in and nodded. “Alright, you can stay in the General’s Estate for the time being. When your injuries are better in two days, I’ll send someone to bring you back.”

Hearing him say so, her eyes filled with gratitude really made things difficult for him. His heart must have been feeling terrible over the past few days as well.

She returned to the general’s estate the next day, escorted by a guard.

When General Shen saw her, he was obviously a little shocked and couldn’t figure out why he came back.

“Father …” Shen Qingwan’s call brought him back to reality. At this moment, she was like a child who had not returned home for a long time. Her eyes were filled with tears as she threw herself into his arms.

“You …” General Shen’s words were stuck in his throat right at this moment. He looked at the person in his arms at a loss of what to do, but his eyes were also slightly moist.

It had been a long time since she had been so intimate with him like a child. Ever since she had become sensible, she had always been a lady of a noble family. It was a long time since she had such a childish side to her.

He reached out and gently stroked her back. “But does the Emperor blame you?”

After all, this was within the palace, so he had no choice but to think this way.

However, Shen Qingwan raised her head in his arms, “No, it’s just that my daughter misses you.” She rubbed the shy girl in his arms. Seeing the worry on Lian Yun’s face, Yu Guang gave her a warning look.

General Shen did not notice anything abnormal about her and only instructed the servants to make some preparations.

After returning to his room, Lian Yun closed his door and looked at her reproachfully, “Empress!”

“Lower your voice …” As expected, he glared at her before slowly taking his time to take off his shirt, revealing the bloodstained cloth underneath. “If that’s not the case, how can father be at ease?”

What he said was reasonable, but Lian Yun was still clearly not satisfied, “If you are like this, the general does not feel bad, but has the Empress thought of this servant?” Her small mouth slightly pouted, and her eyes showed that she felt wronged.

Shen Qingwan opened her mouth slightly, blaming herself for her negligence, but she was touched by her words.

“Alright, I understand. I definitely won’t do that again in the future.” Seeing the pitiful look in her eyes, she could only obediently agree.

Only then did Lian Yun let out a breath of relief and went forward to help her rebandage her wound. As she said this, her hand movements became lighter.

Shen Qingwan smiled helplessly at this. She knew that she was naturally worried about her, so she didn’t blame her.

In the current study room, General Shen was sitting in front of a table with a strange expression on his face. He tapped the table with his fingers, as if he was waiting for something.

At this moment, a servant came in from outside. His training was average, and he looked very well-mannered. “General.”

“Has there been any news from the palace?” General Shen waved his hand to get him to stand up.

After all, they had been generals for so long, it was impossible for them to not have a single trusted aide. Even though their positions had been stripped, there were still a few spies in the palace, but they would not use them unless it was absolutely necessary.

“Reporting to General, it is said that the Empress was injured by an assassin, so she has come back to recuperate.” The servant spoke unhurriedly, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

“Assassin?” He suddenly slammed the table and stood up with a hint of anger on his face. “Did you find out who did it?” Zhang Xuan’s eyes narrowed, and a tinge of red flashed through them.

“No.” As the servant spoke, he lowered his head. “Even the emperor doesn’t have a single clue.” He had already asked around, but that assassin seemed to have disappeared into thin air. After that, there were no more news about him. Even Fu Yuheng had been extremely worried for the past few days.

“Humph!” “Go and check again!” Even though he usually didn’t show much concern for her, in reality, the father and daughter were on good terms with each other.

“Yes.” The servant accepted the order, but then immediately thought of something, “General, there is still a matter that I don’t know if I should tell you.”

Hearing this, he looked at him again, “If you have something to say, feel free to say it.” As long as it was something related to Shen Qingwan, it was extremely important to him.

“This subordinate found out that the empress has always been hostile towards the empress, I wonder …” The servant seemed to be hesitating, but in truth, he guessed that Xiao Shushen was the one who did the assassination, but there was no evidence.

“Empress?” He rubbed his forehead. This person was quite troublesome to deal with. “Fine, you can leave now.” He had previously heard that Xiao Shushen had helped Fu Yuheng before. If it was really her doing, then it would be difficult.
