Chapter 442: The dog emperor tempted the queen with secrets again, and the inductive pig kept calling for a reveal...

The queen placed the teapot steadily on the stove and turned to look at the dog emperor, watching him leaning on the soft pillow, his narrow phoenix eyes revealing a very rare laziness.

"Your Majesty, please speak up. I am not hard of hearing and can hear you."

The emperor looked at the empress's indifferent expression and felt a little hurt. He thought the empress would be happy with what he said yesterday, but she said, "Is this also a secret? Your Majesty only knows how to deceive me."

"What I said yesterday was the truth, don't you believe it, Ling'er?"

The queen picked up the teacup, blew on it slowly and took a few sips. "Whether it is the truth or not, only the emperor knows it best."

The emperor sighed, sat up straight, and supported his forehead with one hand. He felt pain in his shoulder and realized that he had used the injured shoulder. He had no choice but to silently change his hand to support his forehead and looked at the empress indifferently.

"Does Ling'er have any secrets?"

The queen paused while drinking tea and raised her beautiful eyes. "Yes."

The emperor had never known that the queen had any secrets, and he immediately became interested, "Tell me about it."

The Queen said quietly, "I will not tell the Emperor."

Emperor: “…” It’s better not to say anything.

Today's breakfast was greasy and I was a little thirsty, so I finished the cup of tea in no time.

When the emperor learned that the queen had a secret in her heart, he felt very uncomfortable. He always felt that the secret in the queen's heart was related to Ye Chu.

I don't know who Ye Chu is. I haven't found out after searching for so long.

"I have another secret, Ling'er, do you want to know?"

The queen raised her head and replied with a smile: "I don't want to know."

The emperor raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"

Although the queen wanted to know what other secrets the dog emperor had, in order to show that she didn't care, she replied with two words: "Of course."

The emperor nodded thoughtfully, "Okay then."

After quenching her thirst, the queen put the teacup back. It would take a day to return to the palace, so she took a soft pillow, put it in the carriage, lay down and fell asleep.

The emperor saw this, sat up straight, came over, and whispered in the empress's ear: "Ling'er, does your secret have anything to do with me?"

The queen was not stupid. She guessed that the dog emperor was trying to trick her, but she refused to say anything.

"Your Majesty, I am tired. How about we talk after I wake up?"

The emperor didn't get angry even though he didn't get the words out of him. "Okay, you take a rest first."

The queen closed her eyes again.

The emperor simply lay down next to the empress. Because of his injured right shoulder, he could only lie on his side with his back facing the empress.

He said quietly, "My secret is related to the concubines in the harem."

As soon as she finished speaking, the queen suddenly opened her eyes. Are there any secrets between the dog emperor and the concubines in the harem?

She turned her head and looked behind her, and saw the Dog Emperor lying with his back to her.

Even though she knew that the Dog Emperor might be trying to trick her, she couldn't help but be curious.

At this moment, the queen saw the emperor turn his head and look at her, and their eyes met. It was too late for her to turn around.

The emperor chuckled: "Ling'er, do you want to know?"

"I don't want to know." The queen withdrew her gaze angrily, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.

The emperor stared at the queen's back for a while, then looked away, "Ling'er, if you want to know, you can come to me."

The queen snorted in her heart, what a nice thing to say!

The ceremonial guard marched in a mighty procession along the official road.

Qin Xiao looked around and hurried over to Chunxi's carriage, "Chunxi."

Chunxi was leaning against the car and sleeping, so she naturally couldn't hear Qin Xiao calling her.

Seeing Chunxi sleeping, Fu Ping leaned out, lifted the curtain, and saw Qin Xiao sitting on a tall horse.

Qin Xiao has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and he looks handsome. More importantly, Qin Xiao is close to the prince and has a bright future.

If she could marry Qin Xiao, she wouldn't have to do rough labor all day.

Fu Ping smiled gently and asked, "Guard Qin, is there anything wrong?"

Qin Xiao said: "I'm looking for Chunxi."

Fu Ping looked down at Chun Xi who was sleeping soundly, "Chun Xi is sleeping, if you have anything to say, Guard Qin will tell me and I will pass it on to Chun Xi."

Qin Xiao refused immediately upon hearing this, "No thanks."

As he said this, he hurried his horse back to his original position.

Fu Ping looked at Qin Xiao's leaving back. After lowering the car curtain, she looked at Chun Xi who was still sleeping. She didn't understand why Qin Xiao was so nice to her.

The carriage swayed and the wheels made continuous noises.

Concubine Xu was reading a storybook to relieve her boredom when she suddenly heard two crisp sounds. Being particularly sensitive to the sound, she immediately picked up the string of small bells at her waist and watched the small bells tick a few times in her palm.

She subconsciously opened the car curtain and looked outside.

The sensory snake is calling, and the man in black is nearby.

Concubine Xu was excited but also a little worried. All the guards here were highly skilled in martial arts. No matter how skilled the men in black were, they could not defeat four hands with two fists. What if they were caught?

She leaned against the car window, looking at the trees moving backwards, and wondered, could the man in black be so stupid?

Tao Liangyuan noticed that Concubine Xu had been lying on the car window for a long time without moving, so she asked curiously, "Concubine Xu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call Doctor Yu?"

Concubine Xu shook her head quickly, "I'm fine, just looking at the scenery."

Tao Liangyuan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "You just lay there motionless, and scared me."

Concubine Xu looked outside, wanting to see the man in black, but at the same time not wanting to see him for fear that he would be discovered by the guards.

"I told His Highness about the palace two days ago."

Tao Liangyuan put down the notebook in her hand when she heard this, because Concubine Xu wanted to leave the palace, and she also wanted to leave the palace, and she wanted to know His Highness' reaction.

"What does your highness say?"

Concubine Xu said, "His Highness didn't say anything, he just said he would give me a respectable reason to let me leave the palace."

Tao Liangyuan was a little surprised. It was a little different from what she had imagined.

"Your Highness, do you agree to leave the palace now?"

"I agree. His Highness said that I can leave the palace whenever I want, but His Highness suggested that I leave the palace earlier. It's not good for a girl to stay up too old."

When these words came out of Xiao Jinyan's mouth, Concubine Xu didn't think much of it. She just felt that Xiao Jinyan was considering her.

But when she heard the words from the man in black, she felt unhappy.

"I didn't realize that His Highness is actually quite nice. If it were someone else, they would not let him leave the palace even if he died alone in an empty room."

Tao Liangyuan tightly grasped the notebook in her hand, thinking that she had spent a lot of money to enter the palace, but staying in the palace would only mean being alone in an empty room until death. It would be better for her to learn from Concubine Xu and leave the palace early.

Concubine Xu turned around and looked at Tao Liangyuan, "When I leave the palace, I will also find a man I love and marry him. The most important thing is that he can be as loyal as Your Highness."

"I am moved by what you said." Tao Liangyuan held her chin up, a little worried: "But it is not easy to find someone as loyal as Your Highness."

Xu Cefei withdrew her gaze and looked out the window. The sensory dragon in her palm was still beating, indicating that the man in black had not left.

It was precisely because she didn't leave and couldn't see him that Concubine Xu was a little worried.

In the afternoon, a large group of people stopped at an inn to rest and have a meal.

Shen Chu was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by Xiao Jinyan.

At first, Xiao Jinyan called Shen Chuwei twice but failed to wake her up.

Looking at Xiaojiu sleeping soundly, he said, "Xiaojiu, get up and have dinner."

Shen Chuwei opened her eyes immediately after hearing that it was time to eat, and looked at Xiao Jinyan with a half-awake gaze, "What are we eating? Do we have Buddha Jumps Over the Wall?"

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is quite complicated, and she hasn’t eaten it for a long time, so when she opened her mouth, it was definitely a delicacy she really wanted to eat.

Xiao Jinyan said: "There will be no Buddha Jumps Over the Wall this time."

Shen Chuwei paused when she heard this, then remembered that they were on the way back to the palace and the conditions did not allow it, so she decided not to be picky.

"If there is no Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, meat is fine. I am not picky."

Xiao Jin shook his head helplessly and took her out of the carriage.

A group followed the emperor and empress into the inn.

Before the emperor and empress entered, the guards had already gone in to clean up.

The shopkeeper knelt down and led the emperor and empress to the private room upstairs with a flattering smile.

Shen Chuwei followed Xiao Jinyan to the private room next door.

Xiao Jinyu led Miss Han in as well because there were so many people and it was lively.

Miss Han doesn't talk much, especially when there are many people around, she just sits quietly next to Xiao Jinyu.

If Miss Han wasn't tall and beautiful, she would be easily overlooked.

The waiter came in and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, what would you like to order?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Red-braised pork, braised pork elbow, and three more signature dishes."

When Shen Chuwei heard about the braised pork and braised pork elbow, she knew that Xiao Jinyan had ordered them especially for her, and she felt very happy.

Xiao Jinyu also ordered dishes: "There are also Qingyuan tofu, vegetarian roast goose, and stewed cabbage."

"I have noted everything. Your Highness, Prince Yu, please wait a moment." The waiter said and walked out.

Chunxi took out the teapot and tea leaves she brought with her, brewed a pot of tea skillfully, poured a cup of hot tea for everyone at the table, and then left.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Qin Xiao standing at the door. She took a look, lowered her head and was about to leave when she heard Qin Xiao shout, "Chun Xi."

Chunxi paused, raised her head and looked at Qin Xiao in confusion: "What's the matter?"

"Come with me." Qin Xiao took her hand and walked away.

Chunxi followed with doubts.

When they reached a deserted place, Qin Xiao let go of Chunxi's hand. He took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and handed it to Chunxi.

"This is for you."

Chunxi looked at the oil-paper package in front of him and seemed to be able to smell the fragrance. "What is this?"

"I bought some from the street just now because it smelled nice. Try it." Qin Xiao never paid attention to street stalls before, but since he met Chunxi, whenever he went out, he would pay attention to the food and jewelry powders sold on the street.

Chunxi took the oil paper package with curiosity and found it was still warm. After opening it, she found two cakes inside which smelled very fragrant.

She handed one of the cakes to Qin Xiao and said, "Take one too."

Qin Xiao said: "You eat it."

Seeing that Qin Xiao didn't take it, Chunxi stuffed the cake into his hand and said, "It tastes better if we eat it together."

Qin Xiao looked down at the cake in his hand, then saw Chunxi eating the cake in small bites, and felt happy: "Are you still angry with me?"

Chunxi had actually stopped being angry a long time ago. Thinking about it carefully, Qin Xiao was a bit simple-minded and straightforward, so he was naturally straightforward in this matter.

She shook her head. "I'm not that stingy."

When Qin Xiao learned that she was not angry, all his worries of the past few days immediately disappeared.

Concubine Xu had eaten a lot of snacks on the way, so she was not hungry at the moment. Her attention was always on the sensory dragon. The sensory dragon kept calling along the way, which also indicated that the man in black was following the guard of honor all the way.

Tao Liangyuan noticed that Concubine Xu kept her head down, and asked worriedly, "Concubine Xu, what's wrong with you? Don't you have an appetite?"

Concubine Xu raised her head and looked at Tao Liangyuan with a guilty conscience, "I'm fine, I'm just not that hungry."

Tao Liangyuan asked worriedly, "I noticed that you were a little absent-minded along the way, leaning on the car window the whole time. Are you worried about something?"
