Chapter 163 "Troublemaker"

The hall was lit with a faint scent of agarwood, mixed with the warm fragrance emanating from Yun Qin's body, and a hint of sweetness lingered all around.

Huo Jinchi pinched his fingertips and did not reach out to help Yun Qin. Instead, he lifted his clothes and sat on the couch.

"Get up."

Yun Qin raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Huo Jinchi. She was not surprised by Huo Jinchi's expression, so her expression did not change. She said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

She didn't intend to add any drama to herself today, she just wanted to make her presence felt in front of Hawking Chi and keep him here for dinner or something like that.

However, I didn't expect that I couldn't stand steadily when I stood up, and I had to hold on to something soft to steady myself.

Huo Jinchi was also startled, but he was a step too late, and his open hand still remained in mid-air.

Yun Qin glanced at him, then looked at his hands.

Awkwardness spread between the two.

"Be more careful." Hawking Chi retracted his hand, his expression remained unchanged, but his hand at his side slowly clenched into a fist.

Yun Qin was equally embarrassed and pursed her lips, knowing that he probably thought she was pretending again.

Today she wanted to establish a character that was neither humble nor arrogant and as elegant as a chrysanthemum, but it seems like she has become a "troublemaker" again.

Let her act like a trouble maker, in Hawking Chi's eyes, she was just being unreasonable.

Seeing her thin and frail appearance, Huo Jinchi frowned slightly.

Didn't he say he was almost recovered? Why is he still so weak? Does the hospital have any intentions?

He was angry in his heart, and it showed on his face. He said in a cold tone, "Sit down and talk."

If it were any other time, Huo Jinchi would have pulled her to his side long ago, but seeing her dazed look, he just said indifferently.

Yun Qin came back to her senses, sat back on the couch, and reached out to pour a cup of tea for Huo Jinchi.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

When she was a servant, she had rarely poured tea for him, but now she was very polite.

This estrangement made Huo Jinchi a little unhappy. He did not reach out to take it, but just looked at her calmly, "What do you want me to come over for?"

The tea was a little hot, so he didn't take it. Yun Qin didn't dare put it on the table, so she could only hold it carefully. She originally wanted to say: I want to see the emperor.

But he obviously didn't believe it, he simply lowered his eyes and changed his tone to "Can't I just ask Your Majesty to come over and sit with me?"

Seeing her unhappy look, Huo Jinchi laughed angrily, "You are getting impatient!"

"I dare not." Yun Qin still lowered her eyes.

The hand holding the teacup couldn't help but change its position because it was hot.

This action immediately caught Huo Jinchi's attention. He realized that she was still holding the teacup. He quickly reached out to take it. The hot sensation on his hand made him forget all other thoughts and he grabbed her hand to look at her fingers.

Her fingertips were already red, and the contrast with the whiteness of other parts of her skin was very obvious.

"If I don't take it, you won't just put it on the table? You are deliberately trying to piss me off!" Huo Jinchi pinched her fingers and said angrily.

Yun Qin still lowered her head and whispered, "I dare not make the emperor even more angry."

"You don't dare?" Huo Jinchi laughed angrily, "You dare to be disrespectful to me, and you are afraid of me getting angry? I think you are asking for trouble!"

"Yes!" Yun Qin finally raised her eyes, but they were already filled with moisture, "I am really asking for trouble. I should not have invited the emperor to come if I knew that the emperor was still angry!"

She had been speaking in a low voice, but now that she spoke out her voice became hoarse due to her illness.

Without waiting for Huo Jinchi to speak, she pulled her hand back and said, "I am a little smart, but there are times when I cannot guess the emperor's thoughts. Of course I am afraid, and of course I dare not make the emperor angry!"

Yun Qin's tears were already falling as she spoke. She wiped them with the back of her hand, turned her back to not let Huo Jinchi see her appearance, and choked up and said, "I am not feeling well. Your Majesty, please move to the main hall."

Huo Jinchi was so confused by her whitewashing that he was neither angry nor distressed. He just watched her chest rising and falling.

She has always been good at pretending and crying, and her words are always three parts true and seven parts false.

I guess most of my current emotional look is just fake.

But even if it's seven parts false, there's still three parts true!

At least her fear was real, otherwise she wouldn't have endured the pain rather than put down the teacup.

This fear, after all, was due to her background as a palace maid and her lack of trust in herself.

Hawking Chi let out a long sigh and stood up from the couch.

But as soon as he stood up, Yun Qin, who was lying on his back, immediately turned her head and looked at Huo Jinchi with tears in her eyes. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes were full of accusations.

It seemed hard to believe that he was really leaving.

She choked up and her tears fell even harder.

Hawking Chi's heart had already been softened, and now he couldn't harden it any more. He was just heartbroken.

"Okay, I'm not going to leave."

He walked over to Yun Qin and sat down, pulling out the wrinkled handkerchief from her hand and wiping her face with it. "You have such a bad temper. I just said a few words to you, and you're almost flooding the side hall!"

Yun Qin didn't want to cry either. She already had a headache, and crying would make it even worse.

But the atmosphere has been set to this point, if she doesn't cry, it would be a waste.

Yun Qin reached out and grabbed Huo Jinchi's collar, "I didn't really mean what I said."

Huo Jinchi supported her slightly trembling shoulders and whispered, "Didn't I leave?"

Under Hawking's comfort, Yun Qin gradually stopped crying, sniffed, and raised her head slightly to look at Hawking.

"Your Majesty will not punish me again, right?"

Huo Jinchi's hand that was touching her shoulder froze.

Does she regard my cold treatment of her during this period as a punishment?

He lowered his eyes and looked into hers, his heart sinking a little bit. She really only regarded this as a punishment.

Punish her for not being obedient, punish her for disobeying his will.

No wonder, no wonder she said she was scared.

Huo Jinchi felt a little cold in his heart, but he did not push Yun Qin away. Instead, he held her in his arms.

Out of her sight, he lowered his eyes.

How could she be blamed for this? In her eyes, he was first and foremost the emperor, and currently he was only the emperor.

Yun Qin sensed his silence and called him hesitantly.

"emperor?"

She didn't ask him why he was angry, she just knew that they both knew it.

I also didn't want to mention the fact that she moved out of the main hall, so I beat around the bush.

It seems like he is still angry.

Huo Jinchi listened to the hesitation and doubt in her tone and sighed in his heart.

He tightened his arms around her and whispered, "Shut your mouth and let me hold you for a while."

Do you think she talks too much?

Yun Qin choked, puffed out her cheeks, and said nothing more.
