She was a woman of a general's family. She was not good at hiding some words. It was more like her to say it directly.
These days, she pretended to be a lady in the palace, pretending to be magnanimous and learning etiquette. That was not her at all.
Wu Xu.
Feng Jiuqing loosened the shackles on her.
Shen Yueji was released. She held the edge of the bathtub and climbed out.
But before she could climb out, she was pulled back by the man with one hand.
She sat in the bathtub again without moving.
There was more annoyance in her eyes.
Feng Jiuqing held her in his arms and looked at the little woman's anger in his arms: "Does Imperial Concubine think that I deliberately let General Shen die?"
"Since the Emperor's letter arrived yesterday, I have analyzed it. Which point is beneficial to Father? Even if you win the war, it is a group of mobs. For Father, it is easy to pinch them to death. It is easier than ants. Even if you win, what is there for Father to be happy about? "
Her chin was buckled. The man's dark eyes were deep and dark.
His thin lips raised a touch, and his round fingertips rubbed on her lips: "Shen family is loyal to Feng Country to the point that you can sacrifice your life for it. But Imperial Concubine suspects that I want to get rid of your Shen family?"
"Because I offended the Empress in the palace. The Emperor didn't say it on the surface, but he secretly wanted to help the Empress. But because of Father's identity, the Emperor couldn't do it. So this time, he sent Father to Nanyue to fight. He knew that Father couldn't fight against that group of insidious and cunning people, but he still insisted on letting Father take the risk. Isn't the Emperor's purpose to let Father deliberately lose this war? Then let him become the laughing stock of the capital and be made fun of by the people of the capital? Let him lose his face as a great general? "
"In this way."
She looked directly at the Emperor's dark eyes with sharp teeth. "Didn't the Emperor vent his anger for the Empress? Shen family is humiliated, Gu family is happy! In the end, the Emperor is biased! Humph. "
Shen Yueji snorted heavily and turned around, not wanting to talk to him anymore.
Her palms were wet. Only she knew that her palms were not wet because of the water in the bathtub, but because she was afraid of the cold sweat.
This was the first time she was going against Feng Jiuqing. Just how intelligent was this man? It could be said that even if thousands of intelligent minds were added together, they still wouldn't be able to compare to Feng Jiuqing.
She used the name of the Gu family to cover up her guilty conscience.
She was not sure if the man would believe her.
At least, compared to the nonsense that she was Gu Yueqin, this point was more believable.
As expected, the man didn't speak again. On the contrary, he remained silent after she lost her temper.
With his back facing her, Shen Yueji didn't even need to turn her head to know that his gaze had been on her, seemingly sizing her up.
His gaze wasn't obvious. If one wasn't a meticulous person, they wouldn't be able to tell what was hidden in his warm and gentle eyes.
The man suddenly laughed. His laughter was clear and pleasant.
He turned her body around and looked at her little face that was flushed with anger.
"Dear Concubine, do you think that I am protecting the Empress?"
"Isn't it?"
Shen Yueji stubbornly retorted. Not long after, tears fell from her eyes.
Hot tears rolled down her cheeks and fell into the water. In this quiet atmosphere, it was especially loud.
Her eyes were red.
