Shen Fu was still a little nervous when she left the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
She really couldn't figure out His Majesty's attitude.
Said he would make the decision for her.
What are you doing?
Such a confusing sentence really makes people confused.
It's only been one day since we last met, what on earth happened to His Majesty?
Shen Fu always felt that something big was happening that she didn't know about.
After leaving the Palace of Heavenly Purity, they were still somewhat confused.
"Empress Zhao." There was a light sound behind him, and Xiao Baozi bent down and walked forward with an oil-paper umbrella.
"My lady, it is snowing a little bit, so I will personally escort you back."
Xiao Baozi bent over and respectfully held up the oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Chen Fu.
Shen Fu looked down at his childish face, nodded and walked over.
Xiao Guizi on the side immediately said: "Then I'll have to trouble Master Xiaobao."
"Your Highness, please don't be polite." Xiao Baozi's hands were shaking as he held the oil-paper umbrella: "Your Highness is thinking about Your Highness."
"If the queen is feeling unwell during this trip, I'm afraid His Majesty will feel bad too."
It is impossible to find out any news about His Majesty, but this person has been following His Majesty since Lin An left.
Shen Fu looked down at Xiao Baozi's face.
With her eyes lowered, she said slowly, "Your Highness has been prone to nightmares recently. If you still encounter such a situation where you can't wake up, remember to come to the Hehuan Palace to find me again."
"It's saved by the slave."
When Xiao Baozi said this, he felt a little scared.
"Luckily, the Queen came. If the Queen hadn't woken His Majesty up, I'm afraid that the servant and Wang Yuanpan would have been helpless."
Thinking of this, Xiao Baozi raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I would also like to thank you for saving my life."
The corners of Shen Fu's mouth curled upwards.
His face was calm: "It's cold in winter, you have to take good care of him during this period. If Your Majesty still can't sleep well, please ask the imperial physician to prescribe some calming prescriptions for Your Majesty."
"You can't drink this anymore." Xiao Baozi shook his head: "Your Majesty drank too much tranquilizing soup the other day and couldn't wake up."
"Not only can we not wake you up, but feeding you the smell of sesame seeds is useless, so we came to disturb your majesty."
That's how it is.
There was a hint of strangeness in Chen Fu's eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
"Just send it here." Chen Fu stopped and said, "There is no one to take care of His Majesty, so you should go back earlier, eunuch."
Xiao Baozi nodded and handed the oil-paper umbrella to Xiao Guizi beside him: "Then take care, Madam."
"Your master's injury is better now." Chen Fu nodded, and then said, "I have some excellent medicine for wounds. I'll ask Xiao Yanzi to send some to your master later."
"Thank you, Empress Zhao."
Little Baozi raised his head and smiled at Chen Fu sincerely.
Wait until Chen Fu's figure completely disappeared from his sight.
Only then did Xiao Baozi leave with the servants behind him.
"Eunuch Bao, why did you tell Concubine Zhao about His Majesty's feelings?"
What Concubine Zhao said just now was clearly a test.
The concubines were not allowed to inquire about the whereabouts of His Majesty. This was known to all the servants in the entire Qianqing Palace.
If His Majesty finds out that you have disclosed my whereabouts to the concubines, your fate will be...
Isn’t the example of Eunuch Lin fresh in our minds?
"What do you know?" Xiao Baozi held up an oil-paper umbrella and looked behind him with contempt.
"Others are just trying to find out where she is, but can Concubine Zhao be counted as one of them?"
"Empress Zhao is just concerned about His Majesty's health!"
Others don't know it, maybe he doesn't know it yet?
His Majesty even called out Concubine Zhao's name in his dreams.
How can other concubines compare with her?
His Majesty's heart is already devoted to Concubine Zhao. Empress Zhao wanted to know the whereabouts of His Majesty, so what?
"Remember this from now on: others are others, and Concubine Zhao is Concubine Zhao!"
Don't compare Concubine Zhao with those people!
The young eunuch looked at his anxious eyes, and although he didn't understand, he still nodded.
Xiao Baozi went all the way back to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
His Majesty has risen from the bed and sat behind the desk.
Seeing Xiao Baozi coming back, Xiao Yu paused with his pen in hand and asked, "Did you send Concubine Zhao back?"
"I escorted Concubine Zhao to the Imperial Garden, and she asked me to come back."
Xiao Baozi knelt on the ground and replied.
"What did Concubine Zhao look like when she left?"
Xiao Yu sat at the desk, with some hesitation still between his brows.
He didn't know what to do with Shen Fu.
Xiao Yu knew that Shen Fu didn't like the Shen family, and her heart was always on the Gu family far away in Kyoto.
The Gu family raised her and treated her like the apple of their eye.
But the Shen family abandoned her like a weed.
It goes without saying where Shen Fu's heart lies.
But Xiao Yu still had some hesitation in his heart: "If I punish the Shen family, will Concubine Zhao be angry with me?"
When Xiao Baozi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head.
His Majesty is going to attack the Shen family?
"Although Concubine Zhao is from the Shen family, from what I can see, the Shen family doesn't care much about Concubine Zhao."
Xiao Baozi's words were actually a bit euphemistic.
How can the three words "not caring" explain the Shen family's excessive behavior?
Xiao Yu sat on the dragon throne, but the scenes in his dream were still in his mind.
If it weren't for that letter, Shen Fu would not have agreed to Shen Qingru.
Judging from what happened during this period of time, even if he was dreaming intermittently, he had already figured it out in his heart.
The letter from Shen Changshan was either an exploit or a threat.
"He is not worthy of being a father!"
The hand holding the brush tightened, Xiao Yu sneered, and the next moment, his palm slammed on the dragon table.
The finest purple-hair brush was smashed into two pieces.
Little Baozi knelt on the ground, looking at His Majesty getting so angry, and knelt down on both knees: "Your Majesty, calm down."
He was fine when Concubine Zhao was here just now.
How come the Emperor changes as soon as that person leaves?
Xiao Baozi knelt on the ground with a bitter face.
I wish I could turn around and go to the door to invite Concubine Zhao back.
"Pass on my oral order." Xiao Yu thought about it, but he couldn't bear it anymore.
If he had indulged the Shen family before, it was firstly because he wanted to contain Shen Fu, and secondly because of the prince.
If he has only one prince, the prince will definitely inherit the throne in the future.
No matter how bad the Shen family is, they are still the prince's family.
Even if the prince is favored, if he does not even have a member of the Ni clan, he will certainly have less help in the future.
Xiao Yu was orphaned at a young age and was fostered by the then Queen Mother.
He knew how difficult the days ahead would be without the protection of the powerful Ni tribe.
Therefore, even though Shen Fu was wronged, he still did not touch Shen Changshan for the sake of Prince Xu.
But as expected, Xiao Yu really didn't want Chen Fu to endure it.
Scenes from the dream flashed before his eyes.
Xiao Yu frowned, wishing he could send someone to Yuquan Mountain immediately to dig out Shen Qingru's body and grind it to ashes!
"Pass on my order, and have Shen Changshan come to see me!"
********
When Shen Fu returned, she heard that His Majesty had recruited Shen Changshan to the Imperial Study.
By the time he heard the news, Shen Changshan had already been in the palace for a while.
It was snowing outside.
Shen Chang stood at the door of the imperial study, his whole body chilled by the cold wind.
Snowflakes as big as goose eggs fell on Shen Changshan, and the cloak he was wearing was almost covered with snow.
He has been standing here and waiting for half an hour.
Seeing that there was no movement in the room, Shen Changshan couldn’t help but raise his hand and coughed lightly: “May I ask, eunuch, when will His Majesty be free to see me?”
The eunuch holding an umbrella beside him glanced at him and said in a gentle voice, "My lord, please wait a moment. Your Majesty has just met with Concubine Zhao, so I'm afraid he doesn't have time to see you now."
When Shen Changshan heard this, the palm of his fist couldn't help but tighten.
Empress Zhao...
She is his biological daughter.
Even though Chen Changshan didn't often visit the palace, he knew the name of Concubine Zhao.
His Majesty seemed to like her very much.
He had seen the child before, and he was indeed a very lovable child.
It’s just a pity that this child is not what he expected. Nor did it come from the belly of his beloved woman.
If Chen Fu was born to his mother Cui, then he would definitely be the best father of his time.
It is not possible that he has never cared about his daughter for more than ten years.
A subtle feeling of pity arose in Shen Changshan’s heart.
It was just that this subtle feeling of pity flashed by for a moment, and Shen Changshan looked at the snowflakes floating outside again.
I couldn't help but frown.
With such heavy snow, Cui Niang might be thinking of her daughter Qingru again.
Ever since she fell ill, she has always been thinking about their daughter Qingru.
Qingru was born in winter. With such heavy snow, Cui Niang was afraid that she would have to go out again.
Thinking of this, Shen Changshan couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.
The reluctance he had just felt towards Shen Fu also disappeared at this moment.
"I hope the eunuch can go over and pass the message." Shen Changshan raised his hand to cover his throat and coughed lightly.
"It's snowing heavily, and my wife is ill at home. I'm afraid if I go back too late, my wife's condition will get worse."
"Sir Shen, His Majesty asked you to wait, are you unwilling to wait?"
Xiao Baozi came out and just heard Shen Changshan's words.
Looking at the person standing in the heavy snow, Xiao Baozi couldn't help but sneer: "If you can't wait and want to go back to look after your concubine, I will go in and tell you."
Is this Lord Shen? Concubine Zhao’s biological father?
Thinking of how good Concubine Zhao was to him on weekdays, Xiao Baozi couldn't help but sarcastically said, "But you have to be clear, my Lord, if you offend His Majesty because of this, it will be more than you gain."
Shen Changshan naturally apologized.
How dare he have such an idea?
It was just that Cui Niang was weak and had hysteria, and he was really afraid that she would have a hard time alone.
But when His Majesty summoned him, he dared not say anything, let alone wait, even if it was just a trick.
"I dare not."
Shen Changshan stood at the door again for a full hour before being called into the house.
Xiao Yu was the one who passed it on to him in the Imperial Study.
The charcoal basin had just been lit, and the temperature in the room was not high.
When Shen Changshan came in, he felt cold all over.
The upright body of the envoy could not bear it, and he stumbled to his knees on the ground: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a folded paper flew towards his face.
"Chen Changshan, did you do this?!"
The paper flew into his face and hit his eyes so hard that they hurt. Shen Changshan knelt on the ground, and was stunned by the memorial.
After waiting for his senses to come to, he hurriedly picked up the letter from the ground.
"This humble official deserves death!"
After seeing the above mistakes, Shen Changshan's heart was hanging high.
This memorial letter contains his daily life experiences at home.
Ever since Cui Niang fell ill, Shen Changshan has been accompanying Cui Niang every day.
But her illness did not get better, and she simply couldn't live without him. Every day, if she didn't see him, Cui Niang would make a big fuss.
