Chapter 145 He Should Be More Stupid

Yunqin often felt that Huo Jinchi was a stable person, but so was she herself, and there were few things that would make her angry.

But now, looking at Hawking's scrutinizing eyes, she was really angry.

Shen Danying was worried about her brother. What did it have to do with her? Why did he have to wait for her to speak?

What did he want to hear? To hear her applaud or to hear her plead for Shen Che?

Yun Qin was already in a dilemma, so she simply stood up and whispered, "It seems that I have come at the wrong time. I will not disturb the emperor and Shen Danying from talking, and I will take my leave first."

As she said this, she was about to pull her hand back, but Hawking Chi did not let go.

Of course he could see that Yun Qin was angry, and his eyes darkened. Shouldn't he be the one who was angry?

Shen Danying hadn't even sat down yet when she hurried over. Was it really just for Shen Danying?

Huo Jinchi exerted force on his hands and pulled Yunqin to his side again, saying in a deep voice, "Sit down and listen."

Yun Qin couldn't get his hand free, so she pursed her lips and looked at him. She didn't struggle anymore, but sat down beside him obediently.

Just now she laughed at Rong Xin's stupidity, and now she was being stupid herself. The Emperor liked her to be obedient the most. It was just a few words, why should she make the Emperor angry and make herself feel bad?

Shen Danying could naturally sense the change in the atmosphere between the two, but their expressions didn't change much, and there was nothing wrong with what they said, so she couldn't figure out what was going on between them.

"Since the emperor asked me to stay, I will speak up." Yun Qin's voice was clear and a little chilly. "I have been there to distribute porridge, met the victims, and heard what they said. From their words, I know what the situation is like in the west. If General Shen goes, it will be a blessing for the people."

"If Danying is worried about his safety, the emperor also let General Shen lead 2,000 soldiers to follow. They are naturally the best in the army. It's not like they are going to fight a war, so 2,000 people are enough to protect the general. This is also the emperor's love for General Shen. Can't Danying Shen understand the emperor's painstaking efforts?"

Shen Danying was stunned for a moment. She was so concerned about her brother that she ignored the fact that the emperor had selected two thousand elite soldiers to follow him.

"Your Majesty, I know your Majesty's painstaking efforts. I thank you on behalf of my brother."

Huo Jinchi hummed, but his eyes were looking at Yun Qin.

She was indeed smart. She could understand what he meant, persuade Shen to agree, and make her grateful to her.

He used to like her cleverness and intelligence the most. Just like just now, when she realized that he was angry, she stopped making trouble and her words were flawless.

But Hawking was not happy at this time. He even began to feel that being too smart was not a good thing sometimes.

Maybe it was because he had seen her glaring at him in anger, and throwing herself into his arms, shedding tears and expressing her hatred.

He lowered his eyes slightly, suppressed the unclear thoughts in his heart, and replied to Shen: "I let Shen Che go to the west because he knows the situation there best and is the most suitable candidate. If you are worried, I will let you meet before leaving, and let him talk to you himself."

Upon hearing that he could see his brother again, Shen Danying was extremely surprised and immediately stood up to thank him.

Yun Qin on the side curled up her fingers unconsciously. She knew that the first half of Hawking Chi's sentence was meant for her.

It is inevitable that I feel a little embarrassed because of my previous guesses.

"Thank you too." She paused and called her, "Miss Yunqin."

Yun Qin was about to stand up to return the greeting, but was held back by Huo Jinchi. She tried to stand up but failed, so she could only sit down and bow her head slightly, "I'm sorry to bother you with your response."

Naturally, Shen Danying saw what happened just now.

The emperor felt that Yunqin was of equal status to her, so it was only right for her to sit down and accept her thanks.

Shen Danying narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "I will take my leave first."

"Promise to walk slowly."

After Shen Danying left, the hall fell into silence.

I don't know when the wind started outside, and it blew the windows open with a creaking sound.

Yun Qin looked through the window and saw a gust of wind blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground, causing the palace people in the corridor to cover their eyes, and also making the white smoke rising from the incense burner on the table become chaotic and unsteady.

Just like the mood of the two at this moment.

Yun Qin stood up again, and Huo Jinchi subconsciously held her back again.

"I'll go close the window." Yun Qin lowered her eyes to look at the two people's clasped hands and spoke first.

Huo Jinchi choked and finally let go of her hand. Only then did he realize that he had been holding her hand for too long, causing a layer of sweat to appear on his palms. When the wind blew, his palms felt empty and cool.

Yun Qin stood by the window for a moment before reaching out to close the window. The sound of the wind died down and the hall became quiet again.

This time, without waiting for Huo Jinchi to speak, Yun Qin sat back next to him.

The submissive look made Huo Jinchi feel annoyed for a moment, and he frowned slightly.

At this moment, Yun Qin looked up at him and took the initiative to speak:

"Your Majesty, is you still angry with me?"

Huo Jinchi was a little angry at first, but when she suddenly took the initiative to speak, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated for some reason.

"no."

He replied and reached out to hold her hand. She was clearly sweating just now, but now her hand became cold again, as if it couldn't retain any heat at all.

Yun Qin did not struggle, but looked up into his eyes, "Does Your Majesty agree with what I just said?"

Hawking Chi choked again, but couldn't say anything offensive.

“Satisfied.”

A layer of mist slowly filled her eyes, as if tears would fall if her eyelids trembled slightly, but she stubbornly refused to blink and just stared into Huo Jinchi's eyes.

"Should I be a little dumber?" Her voice was choked with sobs even though her tears hadn't fallen.

Hawking Chi hurriedly stroked her face, and with a gentle touch, a tear from her face fell on the back of his hand.

Without waiting for him to speak, Yun Qin continued:

"If I were a little dumber, Your Majesty would not let me guess your thoughts all the time, would you?"

There was sadness in her tone, and while Hawking Chi felt distressed, he also clearly felt the coolness of her tears.

It was like it had fallen into his heart, chilling his boiling heart a little.

Do we still need to guess what he is thinking?

Compared to himself, her thoughts were more unpredictable, making him wonder which of her words were true and which were false.

Maybe I should be the one who is a little bit stupid...

After the coolness wore off, his heart seemed to become even hotter. Some emotions that he had deliberately ignored could no longer be concealed and gradually broke out.
