Leave the palace.
Chen Fu felt that when she heard the words "leave the palace" again, her originally calm heart trembled for a moment.
I couldn't help but feel excited.
Leaving the palace was something Shen Fu couldn't even think of.
"I was right!"
Xiao Yu felt the stiffness under his palm, and subconsciously tightened his grip on his shoulder.
Shen Fu felt a pain in her shoulder, took a breath and quickly changed her words: "No."
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking."
"Why would a concubine like me want to leave the palace?" Chen Fu knew very well what His Majesty wanted to hear and what he didn't want to hear.
"I have lived a comfortable life in this deep palace. I have Your Majesty and Tuan'er by my side. How could I ever want to leave the palace?"
She kept repeating herself, not wanting to think about it, and she didn't even know whether she was saying this to His Majesty or to herself.
But Xiao Yu couldn't be fooled so easily.
The hand that was pinching Shen Fu's waist tightened, and the hand couldn't help but fall on her lower back: "Your emotions just now have already betrayed you."
When she heard the word "leaving the palace", Chen Fu's heart beat faster than usual.
When Xiao Yu thought of this, he felt uncomfortable:
"I advise you to give up this idea sooner or later."
He was not afraid to say something that might offend Shen Fu.
As long as he was there, he would never let Shen Fu out of his sight.
Xiao Yu held his waist tightly with his hands.
The palm of that hand was too big, and it easily pinched Shen Fu's waist and caused pain.
Chen Fu couldn't help it, her brows twisted slightly, and she took a breath of cold air from her throat.
"Your Majesty, I am hurt by your pinching."
When Xiao Yu heard this, he suddenly loosened his hand that was pinching Shen Fu's shoulder.
He looked at Shen Fu’s slightly pale face.
There were tears in her dark eyes, she bit her thin lips lightly, and her cheeks turned red.
Xiao Yu rubbed the jade ring in his hand back and forth a few times.
Looking at Chen Fu, he took a deep breath and finally managed to hold the breath back.
"There are some things I can tolerate, but there are some things I will not tolerate at all."
His Majesty's words fell into Shen Fu's ears.
The deep voice was powerful.
Shen Fu lowered her eyes slightly to hide the disappointment in her eyes.
She probably won't be able to leave in this life.
Shen Fu didn't dare to show this feeling of loss, for fear that the emperor would think too much if he saw it.
He quickly stood up and avoided His Majesty's gaze: "Your Majesty, please don't let your imagination run wild."
His Majesty is too sensitive to the words "outside the palace".
Shen Fu took a deep breath and finally decided not to mention the Gu family.
"I have no intention of leaving the palace."
"Besides, where else can I go?"
Shen Fu lowered her eyes, and a bit of helplessness emerged in her dark eyes: "The Shen family doesn't want me, and now that something like this has happened, they don't like me even more."
"Your Majesty is the only one by my side. Apart from being by His Majesty's side, there is no other place to go..."
She bit her lips lightly, and even her voice had a tremor.
"Oh, oh, oh, it's me who is wrong. I was just imagining things." Seeing this, all the anger in Xiao Yu's heart disappeared.
Chen Fu is too weak, if I still don't believe her.
How should Shen Fu deal with it?
His Majesty suppressed all the thoughts in his mind, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull Shen Fu into his arms: "You just need to stay by my side."
"I'm just afraid that you don't like the palace."
The person in his arms was full of heat. Shen Fu was held by the Emperor, and the chest pressed against her was clearly hot.
But Shen Fu felt a chill in her heart.
Seeing His Majesty like this, she was afraid that she would never be able to see the person she wanted to see in this lifetime.
*********
When the news that His Majesty demoted Shen Changshan came out, everyone in the palace thought that His Majesty was angry with Concubine Zhao.
After all, Concubine Zhao has been favored in the harem for a long time.
His Majesty has always doted on Concubine Zhao since he first met her. Until now, Concubine Zhao gave birth to a prince.
But the grace has never diminished.
Not to mention, there is a deeper meaning behind it.
This time, His Majesty demoted Concubine Zhao's relatives for no reason, and everyone thought that Concubine Zhao had lost favor.
As soon as the news got out, His Majesty went to the Hehuan Palace after the morning court session.
The rumor was refuted in an instant.
When the servants who were still watching the show saw this, they lost the last glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Your Majesty is not angry with Concubine Zhao at all.
After the morning court session, he didn't even have time to change his clothes and went to coax Concubine Zhao!
This little disturbance in the palace was quickly quelled.
As for the Shen family outside Kyoto, the entire Shen Mansion has been filled with gloom since yesterday.
Shen Changshan has not recovered from his shock since he returned. When he returned from the palace, he was already soaked.
The wind and snow weighed down his robe, and Shen Changshan didn't even take a carriage. When he got home, he was soaked all over.
He walked all the way back from outside. The snow on the road was deep and he walked in the snow, one step deep and one step shallow.
The pair of deerskin boots on his feet were already soaked.
When he came back, he didn't even have his hood on, and his long wet hair stuck to his body, having turned into ice without him noticing.
This situation frightened the old lady of the Shen Mansion.
After hearing the news, she hurried over, and when she saw Shen Changshan's distraught look, Mrs. Shen was so scared that she dropped her crutches.
"What on earth is going on?"
Old Madam Shen looked at her son with heartache.
Shen Changshan is her only child. She has loved him like a treasure since he was young, even though he is now six years old.
Half of her body was buried in the ground, but when she saw her son in this state, she was still digging at her heart.
"Changshan, damn, what's wrong with you?"
Madam Shen looked at Shen Changshan up and down.
How come he was called to the palace for such a long time and became like this after he came back?
The old lady ignored the maids behind her who tried to stop her.
His hands quickly checked Shen Changshan up and down. She was relieved only after she found there were no wounds.
"What on earth happened to you? You scared me to death." When Mrs. Shen saw that the man was fine, she relaxed a lot.
But no matter how she asked.
But Shen Changshan still refused to speak: “Nothing.”
When he came back from outside the palace, his body was already soaked by the snow.
Shen Changshan just felt a chill all over his body.
My teeth were chattering from the cold, but I could see the faces of the people around me.
Shen Changshan lowered his eyes, but still shook his head gently: "Nothing, I won't ask."
"You said it was nothing." Old Mrs. Shen waited for him to come back for a whole night.
We left in the afternoon and it was dark when we came back.
How can we not see from this confused look?
"Did His Majesty embarrass you?"
"Or did that little bitch Shen Fu embarrass you?"
"My dear!" Shen Changshan was so frightened when he heard this that his already pale face turned even paler.
"How can His Majesty speak after you and I?"
Old Madam Shen was also startled and looked around: "This is in my own house."
"Besides, we are discussing our own child." Even if she didn't like Chen Fu, Chen Fu was now the Empress Zhao Fei, known to everyone in the court and the country.
Even if Mrs. Shen didn't like it, she would still consider it an honor.
After all, Shen Fu is the root of her Shen family.
In this life, even if she is Concubine Zhao, she is still a member of their Shen family.
"Even in your own house, you are not allowed to discuss His Majesty."
Shen Changshan frowned and suddenly yelled angrily.
Where on earth did she get the courage to talk about His Majesty and Concubine Zhao here?
"My dear, I don't want to hear a word about this kind of thing in the future!"
Shen Changshan shouted angrily, frightening Old Lady Shen so much that she dared not speak again.
What happened today gave him a splitting headache, and he really didn't know how to accept it.
His Majesty has demoted him from his official position. If other people knew about this, the Shen family would probably become the laughing stock of the entire Kyoto in the future!
"Please leave, I need to rest immediately." Shen Changshan ordered him to leave.
Old Madam Shen was standing at the door, holding a cane and stomping on the ground several times.
In the end, he had no choice but to go out on crutches.
After everyone left, Shen Changshan fell down on the chair.
Inside the palace, Cui Niang, who was resting, came out wearing a cloak: "Hey, Qing."
Chen Changshan, also known by his courtesy name Qing.
But few people know his name. In this life, the only people who can call him "clear" are the people closest to him.
Hearing the voice, Shen Changshan lowered his hand that was pinching his brow, and soon he saw Cui Niang rushing in from behind the curtain, wearing clothes.
"Yuqing, what happened to you?" Seeing that his clothes were soaked, Cui Niang was so scared that she immediately covered her lips.
"Mother Cui." After hearing Mother Cui's voice, Shen Changshan's body, which had fallen into an icy cave, gradually warmed up.
He raised his head, looked at the people in the distance, and immediately covered up his embarrassment: "Don't be afraid."
