Chapter 158 The Commander Leaves Through the Back Window
When Yu Shengsheng heard this, she was slightly surprised.
Wu Da Lian suddenly changed his words, was it because of Fu Qingyin?
No wonder they didn't tell the truth under Su Huaiyuan's whip.
Fu Qingyin is much more terrifying than Su Huaiyuan.
Yu Shengsheng figured out the key and bowed, "Thank you, Commander."
Fu Qingyin raised his eyebrows slightly: "How to thank you?"
Yu Shengsheng choked. How can I thank you? Who would ask that?
Isn't this just a polite remark?
"Or do you think it's just a polite remark, said casually?" Fu Qingyin asked.
Yu Shengsheng: “…”
"If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know."
Fu Qingyin was quite satisfied with her attitude, but he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed in his heart.
After all, he had entered the capital, met the rich and powerful, and his original wild nature in the countryside was almost worn away. It was not something that could be compensated by painting a few small paintings to reminisce about the past.
"There is something I would like to ask the princess for help with," Fu Qingyin put away his thoughts that flashed through his mind, "After the palace banquet, let's go to Yongguang Temple outside the city."
Yongguang Temple? Isn’t that the temple where the old lady went to burn incense and have her jade bracelet consecrated?
It is also the largest and most popular temple.
There was no royal temple established in this dynasty, and Yongguang Temple was actually very similar, and the emperor and empress visited it several times.
Yu Shengsheng was puzzled, but did not ask any more questions and answered readily, "Yes."
Fu Qingyin's narrow eyes showed a hint of sarcasm: "My Lord, why don't you ask me why I let you go?"
"You must obey the commander's orders. The Red Dragon Guards' affairs are not something I, a little girl, can interfere with."
Fu Qingyin snorted and laughed: "Then please remember this, Princess, and don't arrange any other trips."
"yes."
"What should we do if the Su family disagrees with the princess's trip?" Fu Qingyin asked.
Yu Shengsheng thought without hesitation: "It's nothing more than praying for blessings, or having a bad reputation, two ways."
Praying for the elders is a good thing;
If you have a bad reputation and need to go to a Buddhist temple to meditate for a few days, then it’s hard to say.
Fu Qingyin narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing more, and stood up to leave.
Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips and said, "Commander, please wait a moment. I will go and send the maids and nannies away."
Without waiting for Fu Qingyin to answer, she opened the door and went out into the yard.
After sending Nanny Zhou and Yu Baobao away, when she returned to the house, it was empty.
Just left? Left through the back window?
Yu Shengsheng thought to himself, a dignified commander is going through the window.
I went back to the table and took a quick look. Apart from the small picture album, nothing else looked like it had been touched.
I didn't say anything, but I had a lot of questions.
Why did Fu Qingyin target Wu Da Lian? And why did he come and what was he going to do in Yongguang Temple?
These questions lingered in her mind.
Forget it, just wait and the answer will be revealed.
Since you can't escape, just go with the flow.
Inside the Imperial Palace, in the Queen’s Palace.
The queen had a pale face and was in a trance, but she was forcing herself to watch the proceedings of the palace banquet.
The housekeeper said distressedly, "Madam, you didn't sleep well last night. You should rest first."
The Queen placed her hand on her temples and said, "I want to rest, but the palace banquet will be held the day after tomorrow, and we need to check the procedures again. There can't be any mistakes."
She didn't just not sleep well last night, she also hadn't slept well for the past two days. Not to mention at night, even when she took a nap during the day, she would have nightmares as soon as she closed her eyes.
But I just couldn't wake up, I was stuck in the nightmare and couldn't escape, and I had to be woken up by force.
But when she fell asleep, she was in a very peaceful state. Others had no idea that she was dreaming and could not call her.
The imperial physician came several times and was replaced twice, but he still couldn't find out the cause. They all said that he was too busy and nervous in the palace banquets in recent days and had poor sleep. He drank several bowls of calming soup, but it didn't work at all.
The words on the paper seemed to be moving, crawling around, giving her a headache.
The maid outside came to report: "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Shu wants to see you."
When the queen heard this, her headache got even worse.
"What is she doing here? I won't see her."
"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Shu said she had something important to report, and she also said, said..."
"say what?"
"If the queen doesn't care, she will report to His Majesty."
The queen took a deep breath, knowing that Concubine Shu was really capable of doing it.
"Let her wait. Someone, come and help me dress up."
We must not let Concubine Shu laugh at the joke and notice that she is not feeling well.
Concubine Shu waited calmly and drank two cups of tea before being led into the main hall.
The queen was neatly dressed and smiling.
"Sister is here, please take a seat."
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "I won't sit down anymore. I have been sitting while waiting just now, and my waist and back are sore."
The queen smiled and said, "What do you want to see me for?"
"The day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I haven't finished my clothes yet. I'm worried and would like to ask the Queen to help urge the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I don't know how those servants do their work."
The queen was furious when she heard this. Is this a big deal? Usually, the Ministry of Internal Affairs treats Concubine Shu with more respect than the queen!
"Sister, you are joking. The servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs listen to you the most. They usually put you first in everything. If you are worried, you can go and see them yourself."
Imperial Concubine Shu sighed, "Things are different now. On normal days, you might give me some face, but now is not the time for a palace banquet. Since the Empress is hosting it, I will naturally listen to you."
She bent her knees slightly and said, "Please help me, Madam, and send someone to ask."
The Queen suppressed her anger and said, "Okay, come and ask, and when you're done, report back to the Imperial Concubine."
"yes."
Imperial Concubine Shu continued, "I heard that the Queen is not feeling well?"
The queen thought to herself that this might be her real purpose.
She immediately smiled and said calmly, "Sister, who are you listening to? I'm fine. How can I feel uncomfortable?"
"That's the best. Your Majesty, the Queen is in good health, which is a blessing for the six palaces. I will take my leave."
After she said that, she turned around and walked away without even looking back.
The queen clutched the armrests of the chair tightly. The paleness of her rouged face was not noticeable, but her head and eyes really hurt.
The housekeeper quickly supported her and said, "Madam, are you okay? I will help you to rest for a while."
The Queen raised her hand: "No need, what on earth did Concubine Shu come for? Are you leaving just like that?"
The housekeeper looked at the palace door and saw a little palace maid coming in quickly: "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Shu has left."
The queen was full of doubts. She came suddenly, talked about unimportant things, and left without a second thought.
What does she want to do?
Concubine Shu left the palace with a smile on her face and a very happy mood: "The Queen is not in good condition, can you see it?"
The senior palace maid beside her supported her arm and whispered, "Your Highness, I saw that her face was painted with rouge and lip balm, and her hair was too neat, it must have been newly combed, and the smell of flower oil on her hair has not yet dissipated."
Imperial Concubine Shu curled her lips: "Not bad."
"Don't you like dreaming? Then dream as much as you want."
"I will attend the palace banquet the day after tomorrow in style."
"That's natural."
Concubine Shu thought for a moment and said, "Tell someone to prepare the best painting materials. The unfinished portrait of this palace should be completed by that day."
