Chapter 212 Two fatal questions

Half an hour passed.

Nie Danying was helped up by the palace maid and limped back to Shu Yaxuan.

The maid lifted her trouser legs and saw her bruised knees. She burst into tears and said, "It's all my fault. I didn't do my master's job well."

"It's just a minor injury." Nie responded to the palace maid in a much gentler voice.

She comes from a family of military commanders, grew up in the army, and fought among the ranks. This little injury is really nothing.

What was even more unbearable to her than the injuries were the glances cast upon her by the palace servants who came and went.

It was like a thorn in her flesh, making her feel humiliated and filled with hatred.

"I didn't expect Concubine Xi to be so difficult to deal with, and I didn't expect that the emperor would be so partial to her!" Her voice turned cold again, and her eyes flashed with coldness.

The palace maid poured some safflower oil into her hands and gave her a gentle massage. Thinking of the sharp-tongued palace maid and the delicate appearance of Concubine Xi, she suddenly felt a little hesitant.

She raised her eyes to look at her master and whispered, "Miss, should we listen to the old man and not enter the palace?"

Nie Danying's eyes narrowed and he said coldly, "Why, haven't you had enough of the sandstorm at the border?"

"Anyway, I've had enough of that kind of life!" She raised her voice several degrees, "Dad is so respected by the emperor, shouldn't he make plans for my future? Does he really want me to marry one of his lieutenants, and then become a yellow-faced woman like mother, with her cheeks dried by the wind and sand?"

"I don't want it!" She raised her hands and swept everything on the stool to the ground, her chest heaving violently.

What her mother said was right. Her family had made great military achievements for generations. Her grandfather had been a general. She was more noble than the Fang family, which was an in-law, the Shen family, which had an unstable foundation, and even more noble than Concubine Xi, who was born a slave!

Why can they live a life of luxury, but she can't!

Even though her father was angry with her and locked her up for a month, he still sent her to the palace in the end. Didn't he also want her to have a good future?

The palace maid was startled by her sudden raised voice and quickly turned to look at the palace entrance.

Fortunately, all the palace maids were sent out by her.

Just as she was shocked, Nie Danying suddenly held her hand and said, "Cuixuan, with our abilities, we will crush them all under our feet sooner or later!"

Cui Xuan looked at the burning ambition in her master's eyes and nodded, "I believe in you, Master."

Nie finally smiled, glanced at her forehead, and whispered, "Don't worry about me. Take care of the wound on your head first. It must hurt."

"It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt at all."

——

On the other side, the imperial carriage arrived at the Yanning Palace, and Doctor Zhang Yu followed closely behind.

Yunqin simply didn't get enough rest last night and didn't have any serious health problems. Doctor Zhang Yu just said that she felt a little cold and that she just needed to apply a medicine bandage.

But when she was taking the pulse, she lifted up her sleeves, revealing a bruise on her wrist.

She must have bumped into it when she tried to hold the handrail.

"And you said you weren't hurt." Huo Jinchi looked at the bruise on her fair wrist and felt it was very unpleasant.

He knew that her skin was delicate, so he didn't dare to use force during sex, for fear of leaving her with bruises like before and often not being able to enjoy herself.

With this in mind, the bruise became even more annoying in his eyes.

It was Yun Qin who didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise she would have spat in his face and called him a bastard!

After Doctor Zhang Yu left, Yun Qin looked at Huo Jinchi, who was rubbing her wrist with ointment on his fingers, and said with a little guilt:

"I have delayed Your Majesty's visit to the little princess."

She didn't mention it then, but now she's talking about it again. Hawking knew what she was thinking. He raised his eyes and tapped her nose, "Pretending."

"Eh..." Yun Qin wiped her nose with a handkerchief in disgust, "It smells bad."

She brought up this matter on purpose, deliberately wanting Huo Jinchi to notice her little thoughts. She didn't want to pretend to be virtuous, but she couldn't let Huo Jinchi notice it either. She didn't even want to pretend.

Hawking Chi was amused by her look and pinched her cheek with his other hand.

Yun Qin wrinkled her nose and snuggled into his arms, "I just feel so uncomfortable and want Your Majesty to accompany me."

These words immediately softened Huo Jinchi's heart, and he pinched her face again, "I didn't say anything, so why are you imagining anything?"

Yun Qin rested her head on his shoulder and said with some jealousy: "Your Majesty loves the little princess so much, don't I know that I can't compare to him?"

It was unknown whether this was true or not, but Huo Jinchi was fooled by it. His heart softened completely and he reached out to hold her in his arms, "I love you, too."

"You are lying!" Yun Qin raised her eyes and snorted, "If Your Majesty really loved me, I would have begged for mercy last night, but you still refused to forgive me. You made me so miserable today."

She didn't notice the darkening of Hawking's eyes. She put her finger on her forehead and continued to complain, "If I hadn't been feeling unwell, I wouldn't have lost my temper and punished Nie Dading. Looking back, it's just a small matter."

Nie Danying knew that his father was a general and an important minister trusted by the emperor, so he would definitely be favored. Even if he suffered a setback today, he would be able to get back on his feet tomorrow.

There was no guarantee that she would not whisper in the emperor's ear, so it would be better for her to stay here with Hawking Chi first to give herself some insurance.

"Nieda deserves to be punished. Even if you feel bad, you can't blame me for it all."

Yun Qin uttered angrily, then raised her head and bumped into Huo Jinchi's dark eyes, and suddenly felt a chill on her back.

Huo Jinchi's fingers grasped her wrist, not allowing her to pull back. "You said you didn't have the strength, but I put you down, didn't I? I guess I was too soft-hearted. Concubine Xi must not complain of being tired again tonight."

Is this the point?!

After all this talk, what's the difference between her and winking at a blind man!

Yun Qin finally understood that she couldn't be too tactful when talking to this kind of pervert, otherwise he would only listen to what she wanted to hear!

Thinking of the shameful posture last night, Yun Qin's cheeks flushed, and she pressed her hands against Huo Jinchi's face. Her voice was no longer gentle, but rather ruthless. "Your Majesty, you have stayed here with me for a long time. Aren't you busy with state affairs? Have you finished reviewing the memorials?"

After being asked two "fatal" questions in a row by her, Hawking Chi's rationality regained control, and the charming thoughts disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

"Yunqin, I see that you are becoming more and more courageous!" I don't know who started this habit!

Seeing that he was no longer controlled by the "cerebellum", Yun Qin became weak in a second, holding her head with her hands, and cried: "Ah, my head hurts so much, I can't hear what the emperor is saying."

Seeing her like this, Huo Jinchi laughed angrily, pinched her face, and whispered coldly in her ear: "I hope you can be so bold in bed."

"Oh, it hurts so much, my head hurts so much."
