Chapter 120 "I'm here to see you"
When he really saw Yun Qin, Huo Jinchi's anger was reduced by a little.
Thin, too thin.
The autumn clothes for the palace had already been made, but since she was in the cold palace, it was obvious that she had no share.
I am still wearing last year's autumn clothes. They used to fit me well, but now they feel empty. When the autumn wind blows, it seems as if I will be blown away.
When she turned around, she looked at him in surprise.
The anger in Hawking's heart subsided a little.
I don't know what was painted on her face, it was a waxy yellow color, and the background was a simple porridge stall. Just looking at Huo Jinchi's chest felt like being hit by something, not much pain, but it was suffocating.
Maybe because she had been busy in front of the stove, there was some black dust on her face and hair, and she had just cried, so there was an obvious tear mark under her eye.
He looks even more pitiful...
Huo Jinchi sighed in his heart, but his face remained stern. Seeing her still standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but said, "Why don't you come over here!"
Hearing his shout, Yun Qin finally opened her legs.
But each of her legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and her heart was a mess.
Yun Qin wanted Huo Jinchi to see her being bullied, but this "see" didn't mean this way!
Are Xu An and the others all dead?
Let the emperor leave the palace and join the victims!
More importantly, when did he come?
How much of her conversation with Ajing just now did he hear?
Huo Jinchi did not stand there waiting for her. When he saw her coming over, he turned around and walked to a more secluded place.
Seeing him like this, Yun Qin already knew something was wrong and could only follow silently.
When they reached an empty alley, Huo Jinchi finally stopped, looked at the people around him, and said coldly, "Go guard outside!"
Several people said "yes" and left.
Yun Qin was only worried before, but now she noticed that Xiao Dezi was also there.
When they passed each other, she clearly saw Xiao Dezi mouthing the words "leave the palace" to her.
Leaving the palace?
After Yun Qin was puzzled, she immediately understood.
Only when she was talking to Ajing just now did Ajing mention "leaving the palace".
It seemed as if he was saying that he gave her the chance to leave the palace.
The emperor really heard what they said.
Although it was not good news, Yun Qin still felt relieved.
After all, the unknown is the most terrifying.
Knowing what it was about, Yun Qin felt relieved, her panic faded, and her facial expression became richer.
This time, without waiting for Huo Jinchi to speak, she went to meet him and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here? There are so many disaster victims here. And you brought so many people with you. What will you do if something unexpected happens?"
Her face was full of concern, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes seemed to be filled with Hawking Chi.
Huo Jinchi lowered his eyes and looked at her, not missing any subtle expression on her face. How could he not see the guilt that was inside her besides her concern?
So how sincere can this superficial concern be?
"I came to see you."
If he hadn't seen through her, Hawking would never have told her his purpose so directly. He might have used the excuse of "inspecting the conditions of the disaster victims" as a cover-up.
But now, he just wanted to see what her real expression was.
Yun Qin knew that with her acting skills, she would definitely be discovered in front of Huo Jinchi. The so-called guilty conscience was a small flaw she deliberately revealed to hide her big flaw of panic.
But I didn't expect that a small flaw would lead to such a statement from Hawking Chi.
Is he really here to see her?
Looking at the sudden shock in her eyes, Huo Jinchi was sure that this was true.
But this did not make him feel better, and even made him angrier.
Why is she so shocked?
Where is her disguise, her forced composure?
When I showed up here, did she really never think at all that I was here for her?
After all, she never believed him!
Yun Qin noticed that Huo Jinchi's eyes had turned cold, and she instinctively knew that she shouldn't behave like that.
But he had already seen my shock just now.
Yun Qin's mind flashed through all kinds of love ideas and scenes of being a drama queen. Suddenly, she had an idea and immediately turned around and covered her face with her hands, complaining loudly:
"How could His Majesty come here so suddenly? Didn't His Majesty see my ugly appearance?"
The more Yun Qin talked, the more sad she became. She covered her face and stamped her feet. "I have been in the cold palace for so long and the emperor has never come to see me. But when I made a fool of myself, the emperor came. You heard that I was going to give out porridge and came here on purpose to see me laugh!"
Huo Jinchi was so angry at her pretentious look that he laughed. He said in a cold voice, "I'm not angry yet, but you blame me first!"
"What is the emperor angry about?" Yun Qin sniffed. "The emperor is angry because I look so ugly now, because I am disrespectful to the eyes, and because I am distributing porridge in public. I am also angry because I have a reputation as a tough guy!"
At the end, she cried angrily, "I was wondering why the emperor was so angry. I never thought it was because of this! I don't have the face to see the emperor anymore. I might as well die!"
"What nonsense!" Huo Jinchi couldn't stand it any longer and quickly grabbed her wrist. "When did I ever say you were ugly? If I was really mad at you for showing up in public, why would I come here to see you?"
Her nonsense really confused Huo Jinchi. He felt really wronged. Even though he was angry, he still felt bad for her in his heart. When had he ever disliked her?
Was this really why she looked so shocked just now?
Huo Jinchi sighed inwardly, pulled Yun Qin's wrist with some strength, slightly arched his back, and tried to be level with her eyes.
"Yunqin, look at me."
Yun Qin resisted a little, but she was no match for his strength. Her hands that were covering her face were pulled away by him and she was forced to look him in the eye.
Seeing her crying like a tearful person, with the paint on her face becoming streaks, Huo Jinchi couldn't help but pull the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "How ugly."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qin couldn't help but glare at him, and then struggled to pull her hand back.
But unexpectedly, the next second, Huo Jinchi pecked her lightly on the lips, and Yun Qin was stunned for a moment.
"See, I just dislike you so much." Huo Jinchi couldn't help but smile at her confused look, and the feeling of wetness on his lips made him purse his lips subconsciously.
Afterwards, he frowned slightly, put the back of his hand on his lips, and said in disgust: "What on earth did you put on your face? It tastes bitter and spicy!"
Seeing his expression, Yun Qin guessed that he was nervous, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
With this smile, she couldn't cry anymore. She touched the corner of her mouth, tears still in her eyes, but she said with a smile in her tone: "It's turmeric."
Seeing her gloating look, Huo Jinchi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, but his tone was vicious, "Why don't you wipe it off quickly!"
"The emperor said he doesn't mind!" Yun Qin snorted aggrievedly, took out a handkerchief and began to wipe her face.
It wasn't because of what he said, but because she was afraid that the turmeric on her face would flow into her mouth along with her tears, and she didn't want to taste it.
