Furui didn't wait for the palace attendant to answer, but already knocked on the door of the imperial study. After hearing the word "come in" from inside, he bowed and walked in quickly.

The lights in the palace were bright, but the emperor who was reviewing the memorial was reflected. He didn't even raise his head when he heard the rapid footsteps, "Why are you so panicked?"

"The princess of the palace took away the concubine." Fu Rui lowered his head and reported.

The emperor paused with the pen in his hand, "Do you know what happened?"

Fu Rui, "..."

I was so anxious that I forgot to ask this question.

"It seems that it's time for you to take care of yourself." The emperor said calmly.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"If you can't do the most basic things well, what's the use of keeping you?"

"This slave deserves to die. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"You deserve to die, but not now." The emperor put down his pen and said, "It is my decree that the concubines of the Liu family are allowed to return home during the funeral. In addition, I am grateful for the Liu family's teachings to the concubine and the concubine, and I am granting the second-grade imperial edict."

Furui was surprised, but he promised, "I'll do it now."

After Fu Rui left, the emperor put down his pen and stared at the candlelight, with a fierce look in his eyes, and murmured, "Shen Qiao...Shen Fangjun...w I won't let you have it easy."

Yes, wait and see."

...

Shen Qiao took Liu Wan back to the Liu Mansion. The plaque of the Liu Mansion had been replaced by the Guangyang Mansion. The outside of the mansion was filled with white flags. Perhaps because it was night, there were not many people paying their respects.

Liu Wan stared at the plaque with hatred in her eyes. Shen Qiao stepped forward and held her hand, "Go in."

"good."

Shen Qiao took Liu Wan to Madam Liu's yard in the backyard without any obstruction. The house was also filled with white flags, but there were also few people in Madam Liu's yard, so Liu Cong didn't say anything.

Even those concubines, concubines, etc., no one is here.

Liu Wan's eyes turned red with anger, "How dare they?"

"Let's burn incense for Mrs. Liu first, and we'll talk about other things later." Shen Qiao looked at the portrait, and she had similar eyebrows to Empress Yuan, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart.

After Xu learned about Madam Liu's special protection for Empress Yuan, she could not be indifferent after occupying Empress Yuan's body.

After listening to Shen Qiao's words, Liu Wan asked the palace servants to get some incense for her to light, and kowtowed deeply three times to Mrs. Liu's portrait and coffin, "Mother, my daughter is late when she comes back."

After saying that, Liu Wan raised her head and shed two lines of tears.

Shen Qiao stood aside, and An Qi suddenly stepped forward and said to Shen Qiao, "Someone is coming."

Shen Qiao nodded and did not call Liu Wan up, "Did you call for someone on the way here? I don't want people to think that I am easy to bully at this time."

"Don't worry, girl, we'll be here soon." An Qi assured.

It's just that some people are here to strengthen the girl. If she can't do this well, the prince may really not want her.

"Um."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people came in outside the door, led by Liu Cong. Shen Qiao took a quick look and saw that his clothes were still a little disheveled. Although his hair had been combed, he could still see it was a little messy.

"How come Concubine Wan is back?" Liu Cong said in an official tone, "But with the emperor's order?"

Liu Wan knelt still and still had no reaction after hearing Liu Cong's words. Shen Qiao also pretended not to hear. Liu Cong glanced at Shen Qiao and after careful consideration, he still felt that he could not afford to offend this ancestor.

He looked at Liu Wan again, "Could it be that Concubine Wan left the palace without permission? If so, I will send concubine back to the palace and ask for forgiveness from the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."
