Chapter 61: Retreat
Lin An was already frightened silly, standing there unable to move.
Even though I knew that His Majesty was angry at the moment, I didn't expect him to be so angry.
He stood there frozen in place for a long time without moving, until Shen Qingru collapsed on the ground, covering her face with her hands, sobbing.
Then I suddenly woke up as if I had suddenly realized something.
His Majesty actually beat Shen Ronghua?
Lin An quickly raised his head and looked forward, caught a glimpse of the Emperor's figure in the distance, and hurriedly chased after him.
"Your Highness..."
Xiao Yu strode forward without stopping along the way. He was tall, so his steps were naturally big, and his anger was really frightening.
Lin An followed behind him, running out of breath but still couldn't catch up.
He fell down exhausted on the spot, watching the figure of His Majesty disappear before his eyes, and all he saw was darkness.
If His Majesty were to go over to this place in such a state, I'm afraid something bad would happen.
If it were someone else, it would be fine, but when Lin An thought about how much the Emperor cared about Miss Shen Fu, he felt completely hopeless.
His Majesty doesn't get angry easily, but now he goes to Miss Chen Fu in such anger. What will we do if something happens to her?
When Lin An thought about the consequences, his legs and feet went weak.
Xiao Yu did not stop along the way.
Ever since I saw Shen Qingru, the anger in my mind could not be dispelled.
His clenched fist was tightly clenched, veins popping out on the back of his hand.
His eyes were gloomy, like a bloodthirsty lion. His whole body was filled with uncontrollable anger, and the palace maids passing by were frightened and trembled with fear.
He walked all the way to Changqiu Palace and stopped in front of the door of Fuyu Pavilion.
Xiao Yu stood at the door, looking at the tightly closed palace gate in front of him. There was a coldness in his dark eyes.
Shen Fu’s words from last night kept lingering in my mind.
He had suppressed it forcefully, but now looking back on it he just found it ridiculous.
Why should I endure it? Why should we suppress it?
His Majesty raised his hands and placed them on the door frame, as if pushing it outwards with both hands. But before he could exert any force with his palm, he heard voices talking from inside the door frame.
"Girl, you really need to leave the palace."
Inside the house, Shen Fu sat behind a long table made of carved lacquer and mahogany, but her eyes were always looking towards the window.
It was a hot summer day, and the half-open window had a crack. The roses are in full bloom, with a few petals peeking out from the windows, as beautiful as spring.
Chen Fu turned her eyes away from the window. But his eyes glanced at the bronze mirror beside the window.
In the dim bronze mirror, a shadow was vaguely visible.
Shen Fu watched for a whole afternoon until she confirmed the shadow, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
His Majesty is tall and slender, and even his shadow is several points taller than that of ordinary people. She knew at a glance that the person at the door was the Emperor, and she suddenly felt relieved.
She had been preparing since Shen Qingru went to the Qianqing Palace.
Chen Fu knew His Majesty, and he would not get angry easily, but if he did, it would be like the destruction of heaven and earth.
Last night, His Majesty's anger was not expressed at all and was suppressed for the entire night.
The anger value has reached its peak.
If Shen Qing goes to visit His Majesty today, His Majesty will definitely think of her with just one glance.
After all, Shen Qingru looked similar to himself, which was like a fuse that instantly ignited the Emperor's anger.
After dealing with Shen Qingru, His Majesty will definitely find her.
Shen Fu waited for the entire afternoon until His Majesty appeared at the door. My tense body finally relaxed and I breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally the wait has come!
"Of course I have to leave the palace." Shen Fu's throat rolled. Thinking that the figure of His Majesty was standing in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Beside him, Shisu also felt a lump in his throat. She thought carefully about what the girl had taught her, and replied tremblingly as if reciting from a book:
"But, young lady, if you leave the palace, then...what should you do in the future?"
Zi Su's nervous hands trembled slightly, and Chen Fu reached out and patted the back of her hands as if to comfort her.
"Don't be nervous." Shen Fu shook her head and silently comforted Zi Su.
Zi Su took a deep breath, and when she spoke again her voice sounded much more relaxed.
"If I leave the palace, what will I do in the future?"
Although Chen Fu could hide the fact that she was secretly serving His Majesty from others, she certainly couldn't hide it from the people around her.
It was just right for Zi Su to mention this at this time.
Shen Fu sighed slightly and lowered her head to sort out the gifts she had packed for the entire afternoon.
These actions have been repeated more than ten times. Chen Fu continued without getting tired of it: "After leaving the palace, you will naturally have to live a life outside the palace."
"I can only forget all these things in the Forbidden City."
"Girl!" Zi Su exclaimed. At this moment, she almost forgot about the Emperor standing behind her.
"Miss, you... you are His Majesty's woman." Zi Su stepped forward and said, "It is a taboo for a woman to lose her virginity. If people know about it, how can you get married in the future?"
Outside the window, Xiao Yu's hand on the door frame tightened inch by inch. His already dark complexion suddenly turned as dark as ink.
Get married? How dare she!
When Shen Fu heard this, the corners of her eyes also trembled. Even though it was just a back view in the bronze mirror, she was still nervous when she thought that the Emperor was right beside her.
"Marry and have children?" Chen Fu lowered her eyes: "How can I marry someone else in this state?"
"Even if I want to get married, is there anyone who wants me?"
Xiao Yu was so angry that he clenched his hands behind his back.
Chen Fu actually wanted to leave the palace and get married?
Even if he doesn't want his people, he won't allow others to get involved!
"Then... Young Master, are you really willing?" Zi Su said softly: "Willing to be
The Emperor is right at the door. If one speaks carelessly, one will be punished on the spot.
At this time, Shen Fu would never dare to commit suicide. As soon as Zi Su's words fell, she immediately took over: "Except leaving the palace to get married and have children, what else can I do?
Chen Fu's voice was calmer than ever before: "Can I still stay in this palace?"
"Zi Su, what is my identity? How can I stay here?"
Shen Fu's voice suddenly rose in shock, and at the end she deliberately let out a hint of tears.
Xiao Yu, who was outside the door, was still full of anger, and his brows were furrowed after hearing this.
Shen Fu's expression was not as cold and resolute as what she heard last night.
His tightly knitted brows gradually relaxed, and Xiao Yu temporarily suppressed the anger in his chest.
He stood there suspiciously, with his clenched fists behind his back, rubbing them gently with his fingertips.
It sounds like he has his own reasons? !
"Girl, don't you want to leave?" Zi Su almost forgot the words and thought hard for a long time before she remembered them.
Her mind was working fast, and she responded to what the girl taught her: "Girl, if you don't want to leave, why don't you... why don't you stay."
"If you explain it clearly to His Majesty, He might give you a position. Then you won't have to serve His Majesty behind the scenes like you do now. You can also... be upright."
"I..." Shen Fu glanced at the bronze mirror out of the corner of her eye, her beautiful face looking calm.
But she opened her mouth, her voice sounding like she was crying: "Zi Su, do you think I don't want to?"
Yesterday, Shen Fu said she wanted to leave the palace.
After all, she was facing the Emperor, so she had to pretend to be innocent and simple, and establish her image as a white lotus that was not affected by wealth and glory.
There are many concubines in the harem, and it seems too frivolous for His Majesty to step forward as soon as his position is mentioned.
But at this time, she was in the light and the Emperor was in the dark.
With her back to the Emperor, the words that came out of her mouth at this moment were naturally ten times more credible.
"Do you think I don't want to stay in the palace?" Shen Fu said.
The lingering sound sounded innocent and gentle: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is like this...Do you think I am not moved at all?"
Shen Fu's light words startled the Emperor who was standing outside the door.
His eyes drooped little by little, and his cruel gaze looked deep into the depths.
What does Shen Fu mean by this? What does it mean that she wants to stay in the palace?
"Girl..." Zi Su said: "Girl, you..."
"Shiso, there's nothing I can do."
"Your Majesty is so handsome and powerful, so high and mighty, such a person made of fine jade, even if I only look at him for a second, I would be happy in my heart."
Shen Fu used sweet words and said nice things without asking for money: “Even if… even if I have to serve you secretly, I am willing in my heart.”
She pretended to be affectionate, but she was actually trying to figure it out in her heart.
Now we have to deal with Shen Qingru and appease the Emperor.
Men, after all, just need women's respect, admiration, and even love.
Chen Fu had rejected His Majesty yesterday, which was like a nail that left a deep mark in His Majesty's heart.
What she has to do today is to smooth out these traces one by one.
The quickest and most effective way is to turn the page on yesterday's events.
“But I can’t…” Shen Fu bit her lip, with a hint of blush at the corners of her drooping eyes.
"Eldest sister...Eldest sister is in this harem, how can I be so selfish?"
Shen Fu's voice was filled with tears: "My elder sister and I are both daughters of the Shen family. How can I take someone else's love away?"
It's not that she didn't want to, but Shen Qingru wouldn't let her. Since His Majesty wants her, he will definitely solve the problem for her.
What Shen Fu played today was a person who had no choice.
"If...if there is a choice." Shen Fu looked towards the door with her eyes wide open, feeling happy.
The corners of her eyes drooped, her fingertips tapped gently, tears welled up in her eye sockets, she cried like a pear blossom with rain on her face:
"Why wouldn't I want to stay in the palace and be His Majesty's concubine?"
