She snorted lightly and pushed Qin Shuo’s chest forward. Just as she was about to mock Qin Shuo, she was interrupted by Qin Shuo, "Aiya, Xiaoxiao, so you want to touch me!"

Hu Xiao was so angry that she almost vomited blood. However, since Qin Shuo was so shameless, then what did she have to do with her dignity?

She gritted her teeth and attacked Qin Shuo’s chest with her hands.

As the two of them entered the depths of the hall, a knock sounded on the door.

"Snap, snap, snap!"

Her face was red, and she did not dare to raise her head to look at Qin Shuo. Qin Shuo was angry, and was flirting with Xiaoxiao, so what untactful fellow would come and disturb him.

"Empress, Mr Mo Zhu is here." Immediately after, Zhi Lan’s voice came from outside the door.

"Yes, let him wait for a moment. I’ll go out immediately." Hu Xiao answered with a red face, but inwardly she was rejoicing. Fortunately Zhi Lan did not directly push open the door and enter like she usually did, otherwise, how awkward would it be for her to see him in such a state!

After Qin Shuo and Hu Xiao finished washing up, Qin Shuo followed behind Hu Xiao. He wanted to go out with her to see Mo Zhu, but after walking a few steps, Hu Xiao suddenly stopped.

"Why did you come with me?" Hu Xiao raised her eyebrows and questioned him. Mr Mo Zhu came to find her, not to find Qin Shuo.

"Xiao-Xiao, you are my wife. I will go wherever you go." Qin Shuo said in all seriousness, "This is what I promised you before. No matter where you go, I will follow you.

He spoke as if he was speaking the truth. His face was full of seriousness, and he did not seem to be joking at all.

However, Hu Xiao did not want him to follow, "Alright, alright, stop saying sweet words in front of me, I’m not Xue Mier, how can I be moved to tears by a single sentence from you!"

She rolled her eyes at Qin Shuo. It wasn’t because she felt that Qin Shuo was annoying, but because she had something to discuss with Mo Zhu.

"I’m going with you anyway." Qin Shuo stubbornly said. It was still early in the morning, but Mo Zhu came to find him to laugh. Could it be that he didn’t have the right to know why Mo Zhu came to look for Xiao Xiao?

A trace of anger flashed past Qin Shuo’s eyes, he looked down at Hu Xiao condescendingly and continued to speak: "Xiao-Xiao, it’s not like I’m going to embarrass you, why are you rejecting me?"

Could it be that you and Mo Zhu are having an affair?

Of course, Qin Shuo did not say this, he was not stupid, if he said it, the two of them would definitely have another fight.

"No, I refuse. I just don’t want you to follow me. Be a good boy and stay here. I’ll be back soon." Seeing that Qin Shuo insisted on following him, Hu Xiao’s face darkened. It was truly her first time seeing such a troublesome man.

But what he did not know was that Qin Shuo was extremely cold and detached towards others, his famous iron face was completely merciless.

She quickly walked to the door, looked at Zhi Lan outside, and said: "Zhi Lan, look at the emperor, don’t let him out. Otherwise, see if I can’t skin you alive."

Hu Xiao frowned, handing over the responsibility of guarding Qin Shuo to Zhi Lan, she didn’t know that Zhi Lan wouldn’t be able to stop him, even if she couldn’t stop her, it would be good for him to delay a little.

"Xiao-Xiao, are you really going to leave me here?" Qin Shuo was angry, he had never met a woman who dared to treat him this way.

After listening, Hu Xiao did not answer and asked, "Do you have a problem staying here?"

Hu Xiao was slightly angry as she asked what was so bad about staying here. She had food and drinks here, yet Qin Shuo was unhappy.

Qin Shuo’s face was cold, she did not answer her words. She only wanted to stay with Hu Xiao and accompany her to do what she was doing, and that was all!

It was a pity that Hu Xiao did not understand him, nor did he understand Hu Xiao’s thoughts.

Zhi Lan trembled as she guarded the door. The person inside the house was the Emperor, the person outside was the Empress, and she was the only one who could not resist. Even if she knew martial arts, she wouldn’t dare to lay her hands on the Emperor!

On the other side, Yin Fufeng and Zhao Qiyan went to find Qin Shuo in his room, but they could not find him.

"Did the Emperor not return last night?" Zhao Qiyan asked in surprise. The emperor was not in his room, where else could he be going?

"General Zhao, the emperor hasn’t returned for the entire night. This servant doesn’t know where the emperor has gone, nor can I find him." He had been looking for the Emperor all night, but there was no sign of him.

"That’s strange, if there’s anything else, the emperor would probably say it out loud. Why did he leave without saying a word?" Zhao Qiyan muttered, "Prime Minister Yin, could something have happened to the emperor?"

Zhao Qiyan asked worriedly, he looked at Yin Fufeng with an anxious gaze. At this time, Yin Fufeng was also shocked by this matter, his face changed a little but he couldn’t figure out where the emperor had gone to.

He shook his head and said, "This sovereign doesn’t know that the emperor suddenly left. He’s either in a certain Empress’s palace, or he left the palace."

Yin Fufeng revealed his own guess, and he wished even more that Qin Shuo was in a certain Empress’s palace.

"Prime Minister Yin, why don’t we go ask Empress? She might know." Suddenly, Hu Xiao’s laughter swept past Zhao Qiyan’s mind, he suddenly thought of Hu Xiao.

Others might not know, but Empress might!

"Alright! Let’s go over and take a look. Maybe the emperor is at the empress’s place. " Yin Fufeng nodded his head heavily. With hope in their hearts, the two of them quickly rushed to Hu Xiao’s courtyard.

At this time, Hu Xiao and Mo Zhu were discussing things in the palace when Yin Fufeng and Zhao Qiyan hurried over. Hu Xiao was a little surprised to see them.

It was early in the morning. What was the point of having one or two here? They all ran towards their own rooms.

"Heh, what are you two doing? It’s so early in the morning, did you eat the wrong medicine?" Hu Xiao put down the cup in her hand and looked at them in confusion.

Mo Zhu also turned his head to look at them and curiously asked, "Is there something you need?"

Zhao Qiyan waved his hand first, replying, "We are not here to look for the Empress, we are here for the Emperor."

Zhao Qiyan said all of these in one breath. His gaze swept across Hu Xiao’s palace but he did not see Qin Shuo’s figure.

The queen was here, he thought, and he could not leave the emperor behind. Perhaps the queen was not here.

He turned around and glanced at Yin Fufeng, and shook his head helplessly, indicating that he, Qin Shuo, was not present.

However, Yin Fufeng acted as if he did not see his response, and asked instead: "Esteemed Empress, did you know where the Emperor went last night? We are looking for him for something."

Hearing that, Hu Xiao raised her eyebrow, so it turns out that they were looking for Qin Shuo. She nodded and said directly: "I know, he is right here, staying in the house. He did not come out."

Hu Xiao said honestly, she did not hide anything from Yin Fufeng and Su Yun, upon hearing this, Yin Fufeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, but did not say anything.
