Chapter 192 "I Believe in You"
Yun Qin had no idea that she was being stared at. She sat in the sedan chair, leaning her face against the hand warmer, complaining about the weather.
When it was a little warmer, Yun Qin said to the outside: "Let's go to Tongming Palace."
Dan Xue, who was standing outside, responded immediately and without asking any questions, ordered the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to go to the Tongming Palace.
Outside Tongming Palace.
Xu An saw a sedan chair coming from a distance and was wondering who was so free as to touch the emperor's trap.
When he saw clearly that it was the sedan chair from the Yanning Palace, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he walked down the steps to greet it.
"It's so cold, why did Xi Danying come here?"
Yun Qin held Dan Xue's hand, stepped over the sedan chair, and said with a smile: "I'll come to see the emperor."
"Is the Emperor busy?"
"No hurry, no hurry." Xu An shook his head. "Xi Da Ying came just in time. The ministers who were discussing the matter had just left. I will lead Da Ying in."
Seeing that he was impatient, Yun Qin looked at him with some scrutiny in her eyes.
"Isn't the Emperor angry?"
This Xu An is the best at taking advantage of her. Even if he doesn't come, he will still ask her to come.
"I promised to say that." Xu An was hit on the heart, and he quickly laughed it off, "That's not true."
Yun Qin's eyes were filled with suspicion. Since she was already here, she didn't want to make a wasted trip. She just smiled and said, "My father-in-law owes me another favor today."
Xu An laughed dryly again, "Yes, I will remember all your great kindness."
This person is as cunning as the emperor, and you can't afford to offend him. You really can't afford to offend him.
Walking into the hall, the atmosphere was indeed solemn, and it seemed that even the curls of white smoke rising from the copper stove in the hall had stagnated.
After sending her outside the gauze partition, Xu An did not go in.
Yun Qin glanced at him, snorted softly, asked Dan Xue to stay, and stepped over the threshold of the lattice door.
"Didn't I tell you to stop bothering me?"
When he heard the footsteps, Huo Jinchi said impatiently with anger without even looking up.
"Who made the emperor angry?"
Hearing the gentle female voice, Hawking Chi raised his head from the memorials and looked over.
The woman was wearing an apricot-colored skirt, but her calm expression could not hide her fair skin. Her peach blossom eyes with rosy corners showed off her charming charm even without any emotion, which outshone the bright red bougainvillea in full bloom behind her.
"Why are you here?" Huo Jinchi's voice was light, but his heart was beating fast.
The longer the time went by, the more he could feel the emotions hidden in his heart breaking through.
Yun Qin stepped forward and said, "Since Your Majesty doesn't come to see me, I have no choice but to come and see you."
Her voice softened, revealing a hint of anger.
Huo Jinchi held her hand, but instead of pulling her to sit on the couch as usual, he exerted force with his hands and pulled her directly into his arms.
The chair is wide enough to easily accommodate two people.
Yun Qin was quite surprised. She put her hand on Huo Jinchi's chest and called out suspiciously, "Your Majesty!"
"Yeah." Huo Jinchi replied vaguely, lowered his eyes, took her hands, and put them in his palms to warm them, "Miss me?"
That's not true...
But before Yun Qin could answer, he said, "I miss you too."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Yun Qin, his eyes were somewhat burning.
You really don't want to suffer a loss, but I have to think about you first.
Yun Qin complained inwardly, but her cheeks turned slightly red under his scorching gaze.
Noticing that her fingers were slightly curled, Hawking's palms felt a little itchy, not strongly, but it caused a little ripple in his heart, making him lower his head and kiss her fingers.
Yun Qin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she couldn't help but call out again, "Your Majesty."
"Don't scream." Huo Jinchi looked at her with his eyes darkening, revealing a hint of danger.
Yun Qin's body stiffened slightly. She bit her lip and dared not make a sound or move.
Huo Jinchi didn't say anything, he just put his arms around her waist, buried his head in her shoulder, and hugged her for a long time.
The hall suddenly became very quiet, but Yun Qin, who dared not act rashly, felt that every second was unbearable.
I don't know how long it was, but Hawking Chi finally controlled himself. Feeling her stiffness, he couldn't help but chuckle in her hair.
He smiled, and the suffocating, ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them was instantly shattered.
Yun Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief and punched Huo Jinchi on the shoulder, "Your Majesty is getting better and better at teasing me."
"Yeah." Hawking Chi actually responded.
Yun Qin was cursing him in her heart for being shameless when she heard him say:
“But I really miss you.”
Yun Qin couldn't help biting her lower lip again, and her face began to get hot again.
Feeling that she couldn't continue to be so passive, she simply curled her lips and snorted, "The emperor won't even come to see me!"
Hawking Chi kept his eyes on her face and even found her pretentious look cute.
He smiled slightly and held her hand in his again, "I thought you were still angry."
"When have I ever been angry with the emperor?" Yun Qin glared at him again.
Seeing her like this, Hawking Chi actually didn't want to mention it, because if he did, it would definitely ruin the current atmosphere.
But if some things are not said, they will remain in your heart, rot and stink.
"Why didn't you look at me on the day Yijia got into trouble?" He looked into her eyes. "Do you think I don't believe you?"
Yun Qin never thought it would be such a long time ago.
To be honest, she even forgot the specific situation at that time, but he still remembered that she didn't look at him.
Not remembering doesn't mean she can't simulate her own mentality at that time.
"What are you thinking, Your Majesty?" Yun Qin said helplessly, "This matter involves me after all, and I just don't want to embarrass Your Majesty."
Hawking said nothing.
The first step is to fool. If fooling doesn't work, then you can only make a fuss.
"You said I was angry, but it's obviously the Emperor who was angry with me because of this." She puffed up her cheeks and pushed away Huo Jinchi's hand in pretended anger.
Huo Jinchi looked at her and did not fall into her "trap". He just said calmly: "You didn't answer my question."
Looking into his deep eyes, Yun Qin knew that he was not willing to give up today, and the expression on his face gradually returned to calm.
"Then Your Majesty, do you really not have any suspicion that it was me?" She looked away, looking at the gold-embroidered pattern on his clothes. "You also know about the grudge between me and Lady Liu."
Seeing how uneasy and pitiful she looked when he questioned her, Huo Jinchi couldn't help but feel soft in his heart.
He slowed down his tone, "Of course I believe you."
"The emperor didn't say a word. He just listened to those people throwing dirty water on me." Yun Qin's eyes immediately turned red.
Finally hearing her tell the truth, Huo Jinchi couldn't help but smile, "I believe you, not only that you didn't do it, but I also believe that you can handle it."
"Since I can handle it, why should I go to see the emperor!" Yun Qin raised her voice and turned her head away from Huo Jinchi.
These words surprised Hawking Chi.
