Chapter 151: Asking the Emperor to Leave Again

When Yunqin was almost recovered from her illness, she heard the news from Rongxin that General Shen had already set out for the west.

Before leaving, the emperor asked them to meet at the palace gate.

While combing Yunqin's hair, Rong Xin said, "Shen Danying cried so much that he couldn't even stand up. It was the Emperor who patted him on the shoulder and sent him back."

Yun Qin nodded slightly. If it was according to Huo Jinchi's plan, Shen Che's trip would definitely be dangerous. No wonder Shen agreed to be so sad.

Shen Che must also miss his sister very much. She really wanted to tell him that she would take care of Shen Danying so that he could rest assured and be free to work in the west.

But it was obvious that she had no chance and should not meet him again.

Whether he knew it or not, there were some things she would definitely do.

Seeing that Yun Qin didn't say anything, Rong Xin asked in a low voice: "Miss, are you worried about General Shen?"

"How did you know, sister, that I was worried about General Shen?" Yun Qin came back to her senses, smiled at her, and said helplessly, "Didn't you forbid me to call you Miss?"

Rong Xin looked at her expression and saw that she looked normal. She did not continue Shen Che's topic, but smiled and said, "You have to adapt to it. What if someone calls you Ah Qin in the future?"

"Everyone in the palace knows about our relationship. Besides, as long as I protect you, who can punish you without my permission?" Yun Qin refused.

Rong Xin smiled and said, "Respectful titles are for outsiders to hear. As long as our feelings remain unchanged, it doesn't matter what you call us."

Moreover, their statuses will be different in the future, and if Yun Qin continues to call her sister, she will be laughed at.

Yun Qin would definitely be unhappy after hearing this, so Rong Xin could only say helplessly: "Rules are rules, don't be willful."

"Why are you so willful again?"

Before he finished speaking, Huo Jinchi walked in from outside and looked at Yun Qin with a smile.

Rong Xin immediately saluted, and Yun Qin also stood up from the dressing table. Before she could bow, Huo Jinchi held her arm and supported her, "Don't be so polite."

As he spoke, he touched Yunqin's forehead and asked gently, "It's not burned today, right?"

"No." Yun Qin shook her head, "I'm almost well now."

Huo Jinchi heard the hidden meaning in her words and tapped her nose, "No, you have to take the medicine. Zhang Zhian said that you have a fever due to physical weakness. The most important thing is to strengthen your body and keep taking the medicine."

Now, apart from eating, she only takes medicine every day. Not to mention medicine, she is even tired of candied fruits.

Seeing that she lowered her eyes and didn't say anything, Huo Jinchi touched her slightly cold cheek, "Is this what Rong Xin meant by 'willful'?"

"I guess so." Yun Qin didn't explain too much: "Didn't the emperor say that he was busy today and would be busy in the study until late?"

Huo Jinchi smiled and did not answer immediately. Instead, he pulled her to the couch and sat down.

Upon seeing this, Rong Xin offered Huo Jinchi a cup of tea and quietly left the inner hall.

There were only two people left in the palace, and Huo Jinchi smiled and said, "There's news from the west that the governor of Suzhou died suddenly. I got the news, and the officials in the court will probably get the news soon, and they will be anxious to see me. I don't want to see them, so I'm hiding in the bedroom first."

When he heard the news of a state official's sudden death, he smiled and looked very happy.

Suzhou is in the west...

Yun Qin thought for a moment and knew why he was happy. However, she said with some worry on her face: "Without the prefect, wouldn't Suzhou be even more chaotic?"

Hawking stroked her wrist with his fingers, and seeing her worried look, he smiled again.

After all, she had been in the palace for a long time. Although she was good at understanding people's hearts, she was not so sensitive to political affairs.

"Didn't I just send an imperial messenger west?" Huo Jinchi didn't explain much, but gave her a clue and let her think about it herself.

Yun Qin deliberately pretended not to understand the intricacies of this. She could be a little clever in front of Huo Jinchi, but she could not have great wisdom. Especially when it came to state affairs, it was better for her to have less contact with them.

Chatting with her about state affairs when he was passionate was a way to relieve his worries and difficulties, but if the novelty wore off one day and he looked back on it, he would probably think that she was bold, insolent, and ignorant of etiquette.

But seeing that he was waiting for her answer, Yun Qin couldn't act too stupid, so she said, "Ah, I know. When Qin Cha leaves, there will be no more chaos in Suzhou."

As for why Qincha left first and then something happened in Suzhou, she was so stupid that she certainly wouldn't connect the dots.

Huo Jinchi looked down at her for a long while before tapping her forehead lightly with his finger. "Slippery."

Yun Qin pretended not to understand and climbed onto his arm and said with a smile, "Then I guessed it right?"

"No reward." Huo Jinchi directly blocked the second half of her sentence.

Yun Qin puffed up her cheeks and was about to let go of her hand, but was pulled by Huo Jinchi, who then tilted his head and pecked her lightly on the lips.

"You have a reward."

Yun Qin looked at him in astonishment. Who was this reward for?

Seeing that she was a little dazed, Huo Jinchi's smile deepened and he was about to kiss her again.

"Your Majesty, Concubine De has sent someone to invite Your Majesty over."

Xu An's voice suddenly came in, causing Hawking Chi to pause.

Seeing Hawking Chi standing so close to her, Yun Qin couldn't help but laugh. Before she could fully laugh, she was kissed hard with a hint of gnashing teeth.

Hearing that there was no movement inside, Xu An's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He, he won’t ruin the emperor’s good deeds, right?

Just as Xu An was wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeve, a voice finally came from inside.

"What's the matter?"

"It is said that the eldest prince suddenly broke out in a rash and clamored to see the emperor," Xu An said quickly.

"knew."

Huo Jinchi responded, then lowered his eyes to look at Yun Qin, who was a little angry in his arms. He couldn't help but kiss her between the eyebrows again, and whispered, "I'll go and take a look, and come back to have dinner with you."

Yun Qin was not surprised that he was leaving. She nodded and said, "I understand."

Although she said this, she knew in her heart that it was not certain whether he would come back or not.

“No need to see me off.” Huo Jinchi pushed Yun Qin back onto the couch before walking out of the inner hall.

As soon as he stepped out, Rong Xin stepped in.

"Why does the eldest prince fall ill every other day? It's only been a few days and this is the second time." Even she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Yun Qin turned her head to look out the window, watching Huo Jinchi leave, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Maybe it's because I'm getting better soon."

Rong Xin's eyes moved slightly. She understood Yun Qin's meaning. When she recovered from her illness, she would naturally be able to serve him in bed.

"But, even if Concubine De can invite the Emperor for one night, she can't invite him every day." Rong Xin asked doubtfully.

Yun Qin picked up the tea that Huo Jinchi hadn't drunk, took a sip, and then said coldly: "Of course I have to tell the people in the harem. Even if I live in Tongming Palace, it doesn't matter. As long as she comes to invite the emperor, she can abandon me. She is the most important person in the emperor's heart. Even if I am favored, I can't surpass her."

"But Concubine De always uses the eldest prince as an excuse. Even if the emperor takes it to heart, he is still the eldest prince."

"A mother's status depends on her son." Yun Qin looked at Rong Xin with a heavy gaze, "Isn't this what she wants everyone in the harem to understand?"

Rong Xin finally came to her senses. With the help of the eldest prince, even if she was not favored, she was still the most honorable and respected person in the palace, and would receive the most honors and favors.

"Compared to the Empress's cold knife, Concubine De's soft nails are not that delicious." Yun Qin snorted.
