Chapter 155 He also has his moments of avoiding the main point
Ninghe Palace.
All the palace people retreated, and except for the inner hall which still had candles lit, all the lights in other halls were turned off.
Nanny Sun lowered the curtains, took the quilt from the couch, and placed it next to the Queen Mother's bed.
The queen mother leaned on the bed, slightly opened her eyes, and said softly: "Let the subordinates do the night watch. You are not young anymore, why do you have to endure this?"
"I'm worried about leaving it to someone else." Nanny Sun spread the quilt and sat on the footstool to look at the empress dowager. "Are you feeling better, Madam?"
The Queen Mother rubbed her temples and said in a slightly cool voice, "Well, why not? I have such a filial son, so even if it's not good, it will get better."
"Your Majesty said those words in anger." Nanny Sun said with a smile, "But the Emperor went to fetch you back as soon as he heard the news, and he stayed by your bedside until dark before leaving."
The Queen Mother snorted lightly and said angrily, "If I wasn't sick, would he have gone to pick me up? I'm afraid I would have spent the rest of my life alone in that temple!"
It was inappropriate to say anything at this time, and Nanny Sun did not persuade her any further. She only said, "Your Majesty, calm down and you will feel better. Don't have a headache again."
"It has only been a short time since I left the palace, and he has done so many ridiculous things! He banned the empress's feet for a palace maid and even made her live in the Tongming Palace. Look, is this something a wise ruler would do?"
The Queen Mother was furious when she thought of it. "Even if the Queen did something wrong, she was still the Queen Mother's mistress and his first wife. He even asked her to help a maid to repair the bedroom. How could he think of that? Is he slapping the Queen in the face? He is clearly slapping me in the face!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. No matter how the Emperor treats the Empress, he is still filial and respectful to you." Nanny Sun advised in a low voice.
Most of the Queen Mother's words were spoken in anger. She snorted softly after hearing this. "The Queen is getting more and more shaky in her actions. Even if the maid has some tricks, she still has me to back her up. How can she surpass her?"
"She knew that the emperor's temperament was the worst, but she still wanted to make trouble for that palace maid. Now, even if the emperor only favored her three points before, it will become seven points now!"
"What a fool!"
At the end, the Queen Mother couldn't help but curse.
Madam Sun lowered her eyes and pretended not to hear, and only said, "Your Majesty, you still need to work harder."
"If it weren't for this, why would I have rushed back?" The Queen Mother sighed, "Fortunately, the Emperor is filial and returned to the palace without any setbacks. Otherwise, if he had really waited until my birthday to come back, I don't know what he would have become!"
"Don't think about it, madam. It's getting late. You should go to bed early."
——
In the Tongming Palace, Yun Qin and Huo Jinchi were also ready to rest.
After seeing the injuries on Yun Qin's body, Huo Jinchi couldn't laugh at all. However, he learned his lesson this time and did not insist on applying medicine to Yun Qin. Instead, he handed it to Rong Xin and sat on the couch, reviewing memorials and waiting.
Listening to Yun Qin's occasional gasps, Huo Jinchi clenched the pen in his hand tighter and tighter.
He thought to himself that he was not a man who didn't know how to be gentle and considerate to women, but when it came to Yun Qin, why couldn't he control himself?
If you really want to blame someone, blame her for crying so pitifully.
After an unknown amount of time, Rong Xin finally came out. Huo Jinchi didn't wait for Rong Xin to greet him. He walked straight past her, opened the curtain and walked to the bed.
Seeing that Yunqin didn't look in pain, he looked better and sat down on the bed. "Are you feeling better?" He hooked his fingers around her collar.
Yun Qin held her collar tightly and looked at him defensively, "It's nothing serious."
Huo Jinchi felt helpless and turned to look at her wrist.
Seeing him looking down at her seriously, Yun Qin pursed her lips and said, "I know that the emperor was angry last night, that's why he acted like this, like this..."
She touched her neck and her eyes turned slightly red.
Huo Jinchi looked at her drooping soft eyelashes, and his heart softened, "I am a little angry."
Yun Qin lowered her eyes and flickered slightly. She was already thinking about how to answer in a while, and then she heard him say:
"It's fine if you don't even get up to help me get dressed, but you still complain that I disturbed your sleep. There is no woman in this world as bold, coquettish, and ignorant as you!"
ah?
That's it?
Yun Qin was a little dumbfounded. He had been mad for the whole night and had tortured her so much, and it was just because of this?
Seeing her stunned look, Huo Jinchi couldn't help but tap her forehead, "I shouldn't feel so sorry for you!"
Yun Qin stared at Huo Jinchi and wanted to ask Doctor Yu if he could treat her as a neurosurgeon. She felt that the man in front of her seemed to have some serious brain disease.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yun Qin held it in for a long time before she curled her lips and said, "I think the emperor is right."
"Flattery." Huo Jinchi seemed to accept her words, smiled slightly, and reached out to hold her in his arms. "I was indeed too rough. I will be gentler next time."
Next time?
Yun Qin gritted her teeth slightly. She hadn't even had her proper meal yet. She might die in bed next time.
No, she had to ask Doctor Zhang Yu to come and prescribe more medicine for her.
She felt that she needed to take good care of herself.
Huo Jinchi stroked Yun Qin's back gently, where she couldn't see him, with his eyes lowered, but there was not much smile in his eyes.
He really didn't like it when people avoided the main point when speaking, and one day, he actually did so.
But even if he made the matter clear, Yun Qin's answer would definitely be comprehensive, but it might not be what she really thought.
Was he going to persuade her to break the rules and make trouble with him?
Huo Jinchi was reluctant to let go, and Yun Qin was unable to break free. Soon she felt sleepy and could not help yawning.
"Are you sleepy?"
Yun Qin nodded slightly, raised her head from his arms, and said consciously: "I will help the emperor change his clothes."
"No need to bother you." Huo Jinchi tapped her nose and said with a smile, "I still need to read the memorials for a while, you go to sleep first."
"Then, I will change a cup of hot tea for His Majesty."
This time, Huo Jinchi did not refuse. He took her hand, opened the curtain and walked outside. He waited for her to make tea for him before urging her to go to rest.
"Your Majesty, please don't watch it too late."
Huo Jinchi nodded and kissed her between the eyebrows, "Go to bed."
Yun Qin pulled aside the curtain and walked in. She looked back and saw Huo Jinchi already bent over the desk, reading a memorial.
Under the light, his facial features were softened, his eyes were clear and handsome.
During the time she had lived here, he seemed to have never rested at the same time as her. It seemed that he could only sleep for two hours a day.
But you rarely see fatigue on his face...
Could it really be the innate imperial holy body?
Yun Qin made herself laugh, then turned her head to look at Huo Jinchi, then yawned and went to bed.
