Chapter 217 Another Man



Chapter 217 Another Man

"I don't think the emperor will come for a while, your Majesty, you should get some sleep."

After lunch, Danxue saw Yunqin yawning all the time and whispered some advice.

Yun Qin rubbed her red eyes and said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have waited."

She had thought that Hawking Chi would come over for lunch, so she stayed up all night, but he turned out to be so busy that he had to have lunch with the minister.

Yun Qin glanced in the direction of the main hall. It was still quiet there, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

"I don't know who the masters are in the palace, and why the discussion took so long."

She just asked casually, but Danxue took it to heart. Although she didn't say it out loud, she planned to find out more.

As soon as Yun Qin woke up, she told Yun Qin what she had found out while helping her to get dressed.

"Lord Jiang from the Dali Temple, Lord Qiu from the Yushitai, and General Shen, the leader of the Yuqian Imperial Guard, all came back from the west."

Yun Qin was startled when she heard this, and then she realized that she was talking about the adults who discussed state affairs with the emperor.

She looked towards the main hall. She had slept for an hour and a half, but the door of the main hall was still closed.

It turns out Shen Che has returned.

Yun Qin lowered her eyes slightly. As long as he was safe, everything else had nothing to do with her.

However, she looked at Dan Xue and whispered, "Don't ask about the past in the future. We will know what we should know naturally."

Danxue then realized that she had made a mistake. Her hands trembled as she buttoned Yunqin's clothes. She hurriedly said, "It was my stupidity that..."

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down, but was held back by Yun Qin.

"It's okay. You just want to share my worries. I'm not blaming you. I'm just reminding you not to do it next time."

After all, Danxue had only been with her for a short time and didn't know many of the past events, but Yunqin couldn't tell her directly about the relationship between her and Xiao Dezi, as well as her involvement with Shen Che.

"What if the Emperor blames the Empress for this?" Danxue felt extremely guilty. She was too inexperienced and only thought about her master, so she actually committed the cardinal sin of interfering in government affairs in the harem.

"Your Highness, please punish me. This is all my fault. If you punish me, the Emperor won't blame you anymore!"

Dan Xue's eyes were red, and she was about to kneel on the ground again, but was held back by Yun Qin again.

"They said everything is fine." Yun Qin looked at her helplessly and said, "You don't have to worry. I have heard about the emperor's trip to the west. Besides, I am in Tongming Palace. The emperor brought me here because he was afraid that I would know."

"Really? Your Majesty, you are just kidding me." Dan Xue still had a look of panic on her face.

Yun Qin simply let go of her arm and said, "Have you ever seen me coax anyone before? If the emperor blames me, I will just put the blame on you, okay?"

This made Dan Xue feel relieved. She nodded and said, "My lady, please don't cover up for me."

Yun Qin became more and more helpless. She had finally realized that although Danxue looked mature and steady, she was actually a simple-minded person. She was not as smart as Tingchun, and she did not do things in a methodical manner.

"Where is Rong Xin?" she asked.

Dan Xue immediately said, "There must be someone in the palace. Sister Rong Xin has gone back to Yanning Palace."

No wonder……

Yun Qin added: "If you are unsure about anything in the future, just ask Rong Xin. You will gradually find out some things."

This was all she could say. After all, as a master, there was no reason for her to explain her past to them.

Dan Xue nodded immediately, looking as if she agreed with it.

If Sister Rong Xin had done today's work, she would never have done it the way she did.

Seeing that there was no reluctance on her face, Yun Qin felt relieved and couldn't help but press her swollen and painful forehead. Being a master is really a brain-intensive job.

——

After a while, the door of the hall finally opened and a person walked out of the hall.

The three men were not wearing official uniforms. As soon as they left the Tongming Hall, they got into several soft sedan chairs. It was obvious that they did not enter the palace through ordinary means.

Yun Qin stood in front of the window, watching the scene from afar, and also saw clearly what Shen Che looked like now.

He seemed to be much darker and thinner than when he was in the palace, and his features were much sharper. He no longer looked that slightly boyish.

The complex environment to the west is really a training ground.

If Lady Shen saw her brother like this, she would cry again.

She is about to give birth, and the emperor will probably arrange for her to meet his family. She should be very happy to see her brother.

Yun Qin curled her lips slightly, and her eyes flashed slightly as she looked out the window.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but before entering the sedan chair, Shen Che seemed to glance over here, giving her the illusion that the two of them were looking at each other through the window.

But Shen Che moved too quickly, and before she could see clearly, he had already slipped into the carriage.

Yun Qin thought it was just her illusion, but she was still slightly lost in thought as she stared at the weeping crabapple in the pot beside her.

When the emperor carried her down from the throne, Shen Che was in the palace, so it was not surprising that he guessed that she was there.

After more than half a year in the west, he should be sober now...

Would Shen agree to ask her if she wanted to meet Shen Che?

So does she see it or not?

She gently played with the petals of the crabapple tree with her fingers and smiled softly.

This was exactly what Hawking Chi saw when he came in.

In the afterglow of the sun, the beauty smiled as she picked up a flower. This scene was so beautiful that it could be put into a painting. Even Hawking Chi, who met her often, was amazed by this scene.

He stood beside the gauze partition, silent for a long time, unwilling to ruin the scene.

But Huo Jinchi soon noticed something wrong. He found that this window faced the outside of the main hall, and just now, Shen Che and his friends had just left.

Looking at the smile on the woman's lips at this moment, it suddenly became dazzling.

But before he could say anything, Yun Qin had already noticed him, turned her head, and was not surprised to see him. Instead, she smiled at him.

This smile was as gorgeous as spring, outshining even the blooming crabapple trees.

Huo Jinchi's eyes trembled slightly uncontrollably again, and facing Yun Qin who was walking towards him, he subconsciously reached out to catch her.

"The Emperor is finally here. I thought you had just thrown me into the side hall and left me there."

She scolded in a hoarse voice, and Hawking Chi felt distressed, but a smile also appeared on his brows.

But this smile did not cover up the bitterness in his heart. He said casually, "Why are you looking at something instead of taking a rest?"

Yun Qin blinked and immediately understood why Huo Jinchi asked that.

She immediately let go of Huo Jinchi's arm, snorted softly, and walked towards the inner hall.

After taking two steps, he was grabbed by Huo Jinchi again. He said with a sullen face: "I am not unhappy yet, but you are the first to lose your temper."

Yun Qin turned her head to look at her and gestured with her finger between her brows, "The emperor's brows are so wrinkled that they can pinch a fly to death, and he still says that he is not short."

Being exposed, Huo Jinchi simply admitted, "You looked at another man by the window, and I am not allowed to be unhappy?"
