Chapter 121 "You'd better stop talking"

The turmeric on Yunqin's face had already become a paste, and it was not so easy to wipe it off. Huo Jinchi had to ask someone to fetch water to wash it off.

Watching her face return to its fair and tender state, her skin as smooth as a baby's, the dim light in the alley couldn't conceal her beauty, like a secluded amaryllis flower, quietly blooming in an empty corner.

Huo Jinchi reached out and gently pinched her cheek, sighing in his heart: You've really lost weight.

Yun Qin put away the handkerchief she was using to wipe her face, felt the warm touch on her face, looked up at the emperor who was squatting beside her and looking at her intently, and found the scene inexplicably funny.

Does he still remember that he is an emperor?

"What are you thinking about?" Huo Jinchi poked Yun Qin's face with his finger again and suddenly spoke.

Yun Qin blinked, shocked and speechless at his childish behavior, but her expression did not change much, she just said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, I didn't think anything."

Huo Jinchi snorted lightly and said in a slightly cold tone: "You can only pretend to be respectful, but you don't know how to criticize me in your heart."

Yun Qin was about to speak when he grabbed her wrist and she stood up under the force of his hand.

After she stood still, Huo Jinchi did not move his hand away, but touched her wrist, and then his eyes dimmed a little.

Yun Qin knew what he was touching and quickly said, "I came out to distribute porridge. I have to chop wood to cook porridge, so I dare not bring such expensive things."

Although she likes to wear a string of jade beads now, she has put away the string of white jade beads and hasn't looked at it for a long time.

"I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous?" Huo Jinchi glanced at her.

He was just measuring how much weight she had lost.

Her wrists were so slender, why was she wearing a necklace? He was afraid that the heavy white jade beads would break her wrist.

Huo Jinchi was very tall, so Yun Qin could only tilt her head slightly upwards to see his facial expression. But even though she was so close that she could hear his breathing, she still couldn't see the emotions in his eyes.

I don't know whether he is happy or angry again.

In the final analysis, he was angry because she had planned to leave the palace. Instead of anxiously waiting for the other shoe to drop, it would be better for her to make things clear herself.

"emperor……"

She was about to speak, but Hawking pressed his fingers on her lips.

His eyes were still pale, and there was not much emotion on his face. "You'd better not say anything, so as not to make too much nonsense. In my eyes, everything is full of loopholes."

Yun Qin blinked again.

The fairy is indeed a fairy. Before she even opened her mouth, he already knew what she was going to say.

Does this mean that you are sure that she won't tell the truth and therefore don't intend to listen to her explanation?

Yun Qin's eyes turned slightly, but she did want to make up a lie to deceive him...

Seeing her eyes moving, Huo Jinchi chuckled softly and his eyes fell on his fingers, or to be more precise, her lips.

Although she has lost weight, her lips are still plump and moist even without lipstick. Maybe it’s because she just washed her face…

Hawking Chi was thinking aimlessly in his mind, but his eyes never moved away.

The gaze seemed to have substance, and Yun Qin couldn't help but purse her lips slightly.

The soft touch made Huo Jinchi's fingers tremble slightly, and he felt as if she kissed his fingers.

Hawking's throat moved slightly, and his eyes gradually darkened.

At such a close distance, Yun Qin could clearly see his eyes turn dark, and the aura around him seemed to become heavy all of a sudden. Such a clear feeling made her a little nervous, and a layer of mist slowly filled her eyes.

The nervousness and timidity in her eyes were surely teasing Hawking's nerves. Her watery eyes were like hooks, making his heart beat faster.

Hawking's throat rolled again and he lowered his head slightly.

Yun Qin couldn't help but hold her breath. Just when she thought something was going to happen, Huo Jinchi suddenly stopped moving.

"I should go now."

His cold voice was completely different from the atmosphere between the two of them at that moment.

It's like a sudden cold wind blowing in the sunny March, making people shiver.

Yun Qin's body did tremble as his breath sprayed on her ears.

After saying this, Hawking Chi withdrew his fingers without any reluctance and was about to walk away.

His appearance made Yun Qin's heart tighten.

Although she didn't want anything to happen, she didn't expect him to suddenly withdraw.

Are you still angry?

It was inevitable to be angry. Yun Qin knew that he always felt that she was playing hard to get with him. When he knew that she really wanted to reject him and even planned to leave the palace, it was undoubtedly a challenge to his self-esteem.

A man who was born with everything might be rejected like this for the first time.

Of course he would be angry.

If it were before, Yun Qin might not care, but she had just learned about Ajing's situation and was determined to kill her and take revenge in the palace.

At this time, she needs him!

Thinking of this, Yun Qin grabbed Huo Jinchi's hand.

Huo Jinchi turned around suddenly, as if he had not expected her to be so bold.

Looking at his dark eyes, Yun Qin bit her lip lightly and hesitated. She didn't know if it would be counterproductive if she opened her mouth to speak.

Seeing that she hadn't said anything, Huo Jinchi felt puzzled and a little impatient. He was about to speak when he saw her bumping into him.

It seemed that because she was anxious, or perhaps also because she was ready to die, she didn't control her strength at all and rushed straight forward, causing Hawking to groan.

Yun Qin also hissed in pain and even felt the fishy smell of blood in her mouth.

With both sides suffering losses, the atmosphere was completely destroyed.

She knew that she had definitely failed this time, so she quickly distanced herself from him and said, "I just didn't know what the emperor wanted to hear, so I resorted to this desperate measure."

Huo Jinchi pressed the corner of his lips with his fingers, raised his eyes and looked at her, feeling quite helpless.

This is a dark alley, not very clean. There are people watching at the entrance of the alley, and people are walking on the street. He is not a beast, he really just wants to say a few words to her.

"I see that you have something to tell me, so go ahead." He pressed the corner of his lips again, looked at the bloodstains there, and said in a slightly cold voice.

Yun Qin was embarrassed and ashamed at this time, her mind was almost a mess, she just gave up and said to Huo Jinchi: "I can see that the emperor is angry with me, but I don't understand why I made the emperor angry."

Seeing that she really seemed to know nothing, Huo Jinchi sneered, "You can see that I'm angry, but can't you guess why I'm angry?"
