Volume 1 Chapter 16 Emperor's Tenderness

As soon as Xiang Yun left, Qin Su in the room could no longer control her emotions. She covered her cheeks with her hands and cried loudly.

She was no longer as tough as before. Now she was like a little girl whose candy had been snatched away. She felt extremely aggrieved and sad.

In fact, he was already satisfied that Xiang Yun could come to see her today, and he was very happy and excited.

But for some reason, they started arguing after just a few words, and even the guy he had been thinking about day and night was angered and left.

Qin Su thought of Xiang Yun's words just now, that her father was going to die.

She practiced martial arts since she was a child because her father was a civil official. He was always suppressed by Wang Teng, a military officer, in the court. He was depressed all day long and had no interest in staying at home.

She wanted to learn martial arts and serve as a military officer in the court so that she could avenge her father in the future.

But when she grew up, she realized that girls in this world could not become officials, not even by joining the army.

But it was too late to regret by then, and daily martial arts practice became her habit.

And because of Wang Teng, Qin disliked her more and more.

Until one day, her father Qin Yu came to her and asked her to marry the dissolute and mediocre prince Xiang Yun.

Qin Su naturally rejected and hated it in her heart, but in order to help her father, she agreed.

Qin Su still remembers the day she got married. The smile on her father's face was so bright. She had never seen her father so happy.

That day, Qin Su also realized that his more than ten years of martial arts training had become a waste and was of no use at all.

Qin Su, who had already given up hope on life, met a gangster that night, a gangster who brought hope back to her dying life.

The gangster's actions were very rude; the gangster's eyes were very clear; the gangster's words were very heartwarming; the gangster was very gentle to her!

This is a man who loves and cares for her, even now; from ancient times to the present, which man can treat a woman so tolerantly.

At least Qin Su knew that since the founding of the Great Sun Dynasty, any woman who interfered with state affairs had her tongue pulled out and was executed.

Since Qin Su was banished to the cold palace, she has been waiting for the imperial decree of capital punishment, but what she waited for was Xiang Yun's care and tolerance.

Qin Su couldn't understand why this happened. Why would a man be so nice to a woman?

Is it because you love her looks?

But now I have been disfigured and turned into an ugly monster!

But if it weren't for her appearance, Qin Su could not think of what else Xiang Yun loved about her. After all, Xiang Yun was always surrounded by beautiful women.

Unconsciously, Qin Su's heart has been occupied by Xiang Yun, and now the most painful thing for Qin Su has happened.

The man who occupied her heart and whom she loved deeply wanted to kill her father!

She was powerless and could no longer save her father.

When Qin Su thought of this, she cried even harder. Her father was gone, and the gangster was driven away by her. She had nothing now.

At this moment, Xiang Yun unexpectedly came back and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "I came to see you today, not to quarrel with you. Don't talk to me about life and death. I don't want to hear you say these things..."

Xiang Yun stopped talking halfway and asked in surprise, "Why are you crying?"

Qin Su was so frightened that her body trembled. She forced herself to stop crying, wiped the tears from her face with her hands, and choked up and said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong. I... am not crying!"

Xiang Yun's heart softened, and he hurried over to wipe the tears from Qin Su's face with his hands, and comforted her softly: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have yelled at you. Be good, stop crying. You're like a little cat, you're not good-looking~"

Qin Su subconsciously touched the scar on her cheek and covered it, saying in panic: "Now I am an ugly freak, how can I be pretty? Your Majesty, please leave!"

"Ugly? Who said that? Tell me and I'll send someone to tear his mouth apart!"

Xiang Yun forcibly took away Qin Su's hands that were covering her face, and then held Qin Su's soft cheeks with both hands. After looking left and right, he exclaimed without disguising: "Beautiful, too beautiful, Su Su, you have such a stunning appearance. Even if you have three more scars, you are much more beautiful than the fairy in the sky."

No one in this world could bear such corny love words. Qin Su blushed and her body became hot when she heard it.

Knowing that Xiang Yun was trying to comfort her, she could no longer hold back her emotions and instantly let them out. She hugged Xiang Yun tightly and cried, "Your Majesty, why are you so good to me?"

Xiang Yun also hugged her tightly and said forcefully: "I am the emperor. Do I need a reason to be nice to someone?"

Qin Su hugged Xiang Yun even tighter after hearing that, and Xiang Yun felt like he was having trouble breathing.

Xiang Yun was in a very good mood at the moment. He kissed her hair and said softly, "Let's not live in this damn place anymore. Let's live in my Yangxin Palace!"

After Xiang Yun finished speaking, he picked up Qin Su by the waist at her cry and carried her out of the cold palace like a princess.

Qin Su's body was very soft, and it was not difficult for Xiang Yun to hold her up, so he had no intention of putting her down.

Xiang Yun carried Qin Su all the way to the Yangxin Palace. Many eunuchs and palace maids knelt down and saluted when they saw him, and all of them smiled secretly with their hands covering their mouths.

Qin Su hugged Xiang Yun's neck tightly with both hands and buried her head in Xiang Yun's chest in shame, feeling a little shy and happy in her heart.

Walking all the way to the Yangxin Palace, Xiang Yun placed Qin Su on a pear blossom wooden chair with a dragon carving. Even though Qin Su was light, the 30-minute journey made Xiang Yun very tired.

Xiang Yun's arms felt sore several times and he couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to put Qin Su down, but he forced himself to hold back for the sake of his masculinity.

Qin Su suddenly saw that Xiang Yun's right hand was wrapped in white gauze, and blood was oozing from the palm. It was obvious that the wound was broken because of hugging her just now. Qin Su couldn't help but feel very distressed.

"Your Majesty, your hand..." Qin Su pulled Xiang Yun's right hand, feeling a little worried.

"This is just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."

Xiang Yun didn't care. At this moment, a large number of eunuchs and palace maids from the imperial kitchen came in with hot meals. There were twelve dishes in total, all freshly made and hot.

Xiang Yun took a bowl and spoon and put a bowl of wolfberry, white fungus, shark fin and bird's nest soup in it. He came to Qin Su and scooped a spoonful with the spoon. He blew it gently to lower the temperature of the soup. Then he handed it to Qin Su's mouth and said softly, "Come on, open your mouth."

Qin Su didn't dare to eat it, and quickly shook her head and refused: "Your Majesty's hand is injured, so I'd better do it myself."

"I already said that everything is fine..."

Qin Su still refused and said, "No, Your Majesty. There is no reason for a man to serve a woman in this world. Wouldn't it be against the moral code? Let me serve Your Majesty."

Qin Su was about to take the bowl and spoon, but Xiang Yun's face suddenly turned serious and he said sternly, "Just open your mouth when I told you to. Why are you talking so much?

You must know that my words are the imperial decree, they are from heaven!

What kind of moral principles are greater than the sky? "

Then Xiang Yun said softly again: "Be good, open your mouth~"

Qin Su was speechless and could not argue with Xiang Yun, so she had no choice but to open her mouth and drink it. However, she felt extremely sweet and happy in her heart.

The wolfberry, white fungus, shark fin and bird's nest soup tasted sweet and warm. Qin Su's appetite was whetted for a moment. After Xiang Yun fed her a bowl of soup, she ate five bowls of rice in a row, and half of the twelve dishes were finished.

Xiang Yun was stunned by this action. He couldn't help but move his gaze to Qin Su's abdomen. There was no reaction at all, and no bulge at all. Where did all the food go?

Seeing Xiang Yun's idiotic appearance, Qin Su couldn't help but blush. She gently wiped her mouth with a napkin and said softly, "Your Majesty, I'm done eating."

Xiang Yun finally reacted and nodded. He didn't go anywhere else for the whole afternoon. He accompanied Qin Su in the Yangxin Palace to chat and play. In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

At this time, Qin Su had already taken a bath and changed her clothes, washing away the filth of the past three days.

Xiang Yun looked at Qin Su's graceful figure and couldn't help asking, "Your kung fu is so good, are you interested in being a female general for me?"

Qin Su pouted and said in resentment, "Your Majesty is making fun of me again. There is no woman in the world who can go to the battlefield."

Xiang Yun disagreed and said, "So what if she is a woman? There are many men in this world who are not as good as women. It should be the capable ones who get the position.

I see that you are good at martial arts, and it would be a waste for you to stay in the harem and be my queen. How about you become a general and fight for me?"

Qin Su pretended to be angry when she heard this and said, "If Your Majesty makes fun of me again, I will ignore Your Majesty!"

Qin Su completely regarded Xiang Yun's words as a joke, but Xiang Yun really had this idea in mind. In the battle at the palace wall, Qin Su's ability was not much worse than Jiang Yue's.

If the three armies want to be truly subdued and controlled in their own hands, imperial power and military tokens are not enough, they also need a ruling marshal or general who is capable of fighting, brave and resourceful.

Talent, what Xiang Yun needs most now is talent!

Xiang Yun thought for a while before coming back to his senses. He saw Qin Su lying on the dragon bed, covered with a quilt with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

Xiang Yun then realized that it was already late. Thinking that he would have a fierce battle in the morning court tomorrow and needed to get enough rest, he planned to change his clothes and go to sleep.

Lying on the other side of the dragon bed, close to Qin Su's warm body, Xiang Yun covered himself with the quilt and prepared to fall asleep soundly.

Three minutes later, Qin Su, with her eyes closed, frowned, pouted her lips, and looked a little angry. Then she got angry and turned over and pounced on him.

Xiang Yun, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly felt his body sink, as if being pressed down by something and unable to breathe. He quickly opened his eyes and immediately looked into Qin Su's eyes.

Qin Su's fragrant hair made Xiang Yun's nose itchy, but he still resisted the urge to sneeze and asked, "Xiao Susu, what are you doing? Why don't you sleep?"

Qin Su pouted and looked at Xiang Yun straightly. Her face was flushed and even her ears were red.

How could a girl say such a thing? Does she still have any shame?

Qin Su looked at me for a long time before she mustered up the courage to ask, "Your Majesty, do you dislike my ugliness?"

Xiang Yun said puzzledly: "How could it be? Didn't I tell you today that even the fairies in the sky are not as good as you? Don't think too much about it."

Qin Su moved her body, pouted her lips and whispered softly: "Then why doesn't Your Majesty touch me?"

Xiang Yun was stunned for three seconds, then he understood immediately. He slapped his forehead and looked at Qin Su sincerely and said, "I thought it was something else. It's like this. Do you still remember the promise we made to each other?"

"I remember I promised you that I would not touch you until I became a hero in your mind."

"But..." Qin Su wanted to say more, but was stopped by Xiang Yun.

"Be good, at worst I can just hold you while you sleep..."

After Xiang Yun finished speaking, he hugged Qin Su tightly and slowly fell asleep.

Although Qin Su felt warm in her heart when being hugged by Xiang Yun, she always felt that something was wrong. She couldn't help but curse herself in her heart, why did she make such a good oath!

In fact, it’s not that Xiang Yun can remain calm when a woman’s arms are flirting with him, he’s really a male chauvinist.

Actually, I'm not in the mood tonight. After all, there are too many things to do tomorrow and they are too important to be careless, so I need to stay in good spirits.

It was late at night, and Xiao Guazi outside the Yangxin Palace called a young eunuch, whispered a few words in his ear, and then let him leave.

That night, the three eunuchs and four palace maids who had been responsible for taking care of Qin Su's daily life in the cold palace for the past three days all died suddenly overnight.
