Chapter 1682 As long as Senior Sister is here, it won't be your turn to die. (45)
Without hesitation, Song Jinhuan replied, "Of course."
Huo Qingcang involuntarily hugged her tighter, his heart like rippling spring water, moving with the wind, beyond his control.
When Song Jinhuan's prey was piled up and she emerged victorious, Huo Qingcang's eyes were overflowing with admiration.
The new emperor sat high above, his mocking gaze sweeping over Huo Qingcang, and said with a smile, "It is said that Minister Huo's wife is a country bumpkin, but now that I see her, she is quite capable."
Huo Qingcang felt honored and unconsciously straightened his back.
A formal smile appeared on Song Jinhuan's face as she clasped her hands in a fist and said, "This is how a common woman survives; it's nothing to brag about."
The new emperor was overjoyed upon hearing this and bestowed upon the emperor a pardon from death, a reward never before given for hunting.
Song Jinhuan was overjoyed to have an extra life.
At night, in the palace outside the hunting grounds, princes, nobles, and officials gathered together to eat wine and roast meat, having a great time.
Today, everyone has abandoned all manners, drinking from large bowls and eating large chunks of meat.
Six empty wine bottles lay scattered on the floor beside the long table where Song Jinhuan was.
Huo Qingcang sipped his wine slowly, not yet finishing it, but his thoughts were already drifting to his wife beside him.
The woman drank heartily, showing no signs of drunkenness whatsoever; drinking was as easy for her as drinking water.
His wife was indeed no ordinary person!
A thought subtly stirred within me.
The lady beside him suddenly turned to him, hooked her bowl full of wine with one hand, and touched it to his bowl, saying with a smile, "I'll drink it all, you can drink as you like."
Song Jinhuan realized that her husband was truly a man of refined manners.
It took half a day to finish a bowl of wine.
After she finished speaking, she tilted her head back and drank the whole thing in one gulp, then stared blankly at Huo Qingcang.
The man's face visibly flushed, making his pale skin appear even more vibrant.
Huo Qingcang hesitated for a moment, then followed Song Jinhuan's example and drank it!
Immediately afterwards, she fell into Song Jinhuan's arms without saying a word.
With a "crash," the bowl fell to the ground, and everyone's eyes turned to look at it.
Song Jinhuan helped the person up with one hand and held them protectively in his arms with the other. He looked at everyone with an apologetic expression and then had no choice but to bid farewell to the new emperor.
Although the new emperor was puzzled as to why Huo Qingcang's alcohol tolerance was unusually low today, he still waved his hand and allowed Song Jinhuan to leave with his men first.
Although Huo Qingcang was a head taller than Song Jinhuan, it was not difficult for him to walk with support; for Song Jinhuan, it was even an easy task.
Upon arriving at their lodgings, servants were waiting outside and quickly took Huo Qingcang from her hands.
After entering the room, Song Jinhuan sat at the table and watched as Huo Qingcang was dressed and cleaned by his servants.
"Madam, this servant will take his leave now."
Song Jinhuan stopped them, pointed to the flickering candlelight on the table, and asked anxiously, "Will this light go out?"
The servant looked down at the ground. "Madam, there's no wind in the room, so it won't go out."
Song Jinhuan said "Oh," and then said, "Go down."
After the servants withdrew, she rushed to the window, made sure it was tightly closed, changed her clothes, and lay down beside Huo Qingcang.
A sudden flash of light dazzled her eyes.
She lowered the bed curtains, and the room inside the square bed instantly became much darker.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, a scream pierced the sky.
Huo Qingcang suddenly opened his eyes and found his wife pacing around the table.
He rushed over, his face full of worry: "Madam, what's wrong?"
Song Jinhuan grabbed the hand he offered, her eyes red and filled with fear and anxiety: "What should I do! I'm pregnant!"
Huo Qingcang's eyes suddenly darkened, and veins on his forehead bulged: "Whose is it?"
