Deep Palace Pet Peach Blossom Flawless

Lan Qingwu looked at the letter and hesitated: "Your Majesty, do you really want to hear it?"

Emperor Shenwu chuckled: "I was just joking, you see."

Lan Qingwu's eyes turned slightly, and he said softly: "Ruoruo is thirsty and wants to drink some water."

Lan Qingwu avoided the topic. She always felt that Emperor Shenwu had some hostility towards Lan Shuren, which was not a good thing for Lan Shuren who was going to serve as an official in the future.

Now that Lan Qingwu's hands are disabled, she is like a child and needs someone to take care of her in everything. When Emperor Shenwu was in Suowu Palace, he did not rely on anyone else to take care of all the matters.

Lan Qingwu felt a pang of pain at the sight of the Divine Martial Emperor carefully feeding her water. Despite his thoughtful and meticulous care over the past few days, Lan Qingwu felt a pang of heartache. She only wished... she only wished... that you would be well from now on, no matter when or where!

Late at night, when Lan Qingwu was sleeping soundly in the arms of Emperor Shenwu, Emperor Shenwu looked through the gauze curtain at the letters on the table. His eyes were deep and cold.

The days passed quietly until the end of summer. Shen Cainu in Lixiu Palace had already copied the palace rules. At the suggestion of Concubine Wen, Concubine Jiang ordered the release of Shen Cainu's house arrest.

After being released from house arrest, Shen Cainu first went to De'an Palace to thank Concubine Jiang, and then went to Wenhua Palace.

In Wenhua Palace, Wenpin looked at Shen Cainu kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but stand up and walked in front of her, staring straight at Shen Cainu: "Really, there is a bit of resemblance!"

Shen Cainu didn't even dare to raise her head: "Madam Wenpin, I don't understand what you are saying!"

"You don't have to understand. I don't care whether you really understand or not. What do you think you understand after being grounded this time?"

"I've taken the trouble to plead for you, wanting you released as soon as possible, not to allow you to remain as naive as before. Why are you under house arrest? You witnessed His Majesty favoring another person with your own eyes. Do you feel resigned to this? Think carefully about what you will do in the future to make His Majesty look at you again!"

Shen Cainv's hands in her sleeves clenched involuntarily, and her nails dug into her palms.

Lan Qingwu's hands have scabbed over. Although it is still a little inconvenient, it is much better than when he was first injured, and the wounds are no longer excruciatingly painful.

Ru Ping walked lightly into the bedroom and said, "Master, Shen Cainu has been released from house arrest and is now seeking an audience outside."

Lan Qingwu paused and said, "Go and tell Shen Cainu that she doesn't need to worry about it. Let her return to her own palace. Also, bring her some gifts in return and send someone to personally escort her back to Lixiu Palace."

The weather still had some residual heat, but it was no longer stuffy and uncomfortable.

On this day, Li Xiang came to Suowu Palace to convey the oral order of Emperor Shenwu, asking him to take Lan Qingwu to Qiufeng Pavilion to see the scenery and asked Suowu Palace to make preparations early.

After Li Xiang left Suowu Palace, Ruhan stepped forward and said, "Master, I heard that Shen Cainu has run into Your Majesty twice in the past few days. It's really an accidental encounter. It seems that Shen Cainu has a special relationship with Your Majesty..."

Lan Qingwu couldn't help but frown. Was it a special fate? She couldn't help but think of what Master Buyu had said when he came to Suowu Palace to pray for blessings two days ago: "The trajectory of a person's destiny will not change, but it is not static either!"

Lan Qingwu muttered to himself, "If my fate changes, will others change with it? If I... leave here, will someone else take over my fate here?"

Ruhan didn't hear Lan Qingwu's words clearly, so she asked carefully, "Master, what are you talking about?"

Lan Qingwu came back to his senses: "Nothing."

The evening breeze was blowing, and Emperor Shenwu brought Lan Qingwu into the Qiufeng Pavilion.

In the Autumn Wind Pavilion, Lan Qingwu was held in the arms of the Divine Martial Emperor. The Divine Martial Emperor carefully examined the wound on Lan Qingwu's palm and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Lan Qingwu shook his head. "It's just that I still feel a little uncomfortable. I wonder if it will leave scars?"

"No, I have ordered Nie Wushuang to prepare a top-grade scar-removing ointment. Your delicate hands are as pink and tender as jade, as clear as snow. How could I bear to let them have even the slightest blemish?"

Lan Qingwu's face flushed: "Brother Heng, thank you!"

Lan Qingwu raised his injured hand and stroked the Shenwu Emperor's cheek, which was as sharp as a knife, and looked at the Shenwu Emperor quietly with a pair of eyes as clear as spring water.

Emperor Shenwu quickly lowered his head, allowing Lan Qingwu to easily touch his face.

The tenderness in Emperor Shenwu's eyes gradually overflowed, "Why thank me! You are my wife, and it is my duty to do everything for you."

Emperor Shenwu gently kissed Lan Qingwu's forehead with cherishment and tenderness.

"My lord, once my hand is healed, I will personally make tea for you."

Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu's beautiful eyes seriously: "Ruo Ruo, your eyes are so beautiful..."

Emperor Shenwu lowered his head and kissed the delicate lips, "Weak, my weak..."

When the two were in the midst of passionate affection, suddenly there was a loud "bang".

Lan Qingwu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly buried himself in the arms of the Shenwu Emperor. The Shenwu Emperor looked stern and said, "Who? Come out!"

A woman slowly emerged from behind the Qiufeng Pavilion. She cautiously stepped out, carefully looking up at Emperor Shenwu, and quickly knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, your concubine Shen pays respects to you... Your Majesty, your Majesty."

Lan Qingwu felt an unprecedented panic in her heart, and her hands unconsciously grabbed Emperor Shenwu's clothes.

Emperor Shenwu immediately noticed Lan Qingwu's abnormality, and hurriedly hugged her tighter, silently comforting her.

"Why are you here? Li Xiang!"

Li Xiang, who was still in a trance, entered the Qiufeng Pavilion. Upon seeing the person who shouldn't be there, he immediately realized something and knelt down hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I did clear the Qiufeng Pavilion and the nearby roads. How... how did Shen Cainu get here? I really have no idea!"

Shen Cainu also realized: "Your Majesty, it was because I was attracted by the scenery here that I entered the Autumn Wind Pavilion early. After I got tired, I fell asleep on the stone bench at the back. I really didn't know that Your Majesty... and the Queen would also come here!"

Emperor Shenwu was speechless after hearing this. Shen Cainv entered Qiufeng Pavilion first, while he and Lan Qingwu followed behind.

"If I knew you were spying on the Emperor..."

Shen Cainu kowtowed hurriedly: "I dare not! My nickname is 'Ruoruo', and 'Ruo' is also pronounced as 'Cao'. I was awakened by your majesty calling this name, and thus disturbed your majesty and Concubine Yi. Please forgive me, your majesty!"

Lan Qingwu felt even more uncomfortable. Even the pronunciation of Shen Cainv's nickname was the same as his own. There were really too many coincidences.

The Emperor Shenwu's face was as cold as frost: "Your name offends the Empress. Don't call me that again! Go away if you have nothing to do!"

Shen Cainu froze. She had been called that nickname since she was a child. It was given to her by her parents. So, His Majesty would not allow her to call it that anymore just for the sake of Concubine Yi?

Shen Cainv suppressed the sadness, reluctance and other emotions in her heart, slowly stood up, and then walked out of Qiufeng Pavilion.

Emperor Shenwu looked at Lan Qingwu in his arms, only to find that she looked pale. "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Lan Qingwu's eyes flushed slightly: "Your Majesty, Shen Cainu heard and saw everything..."

Emperor Shenwu immediately understood what Lan Qingwu meant. Their private interactions and the way they addressed each other were all heard and seen by Shen Cainv. If she told others, it would probably cause more trouble.
