Chapter 218 Taking Advantage of an Issue

When Huo Jinchi just entered the hall, he waved his hand and asked all the palace people to go out, and now they were all standing outside the hall.

When the two people's angry voices came out, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Why are you arguing again?

Xu An, however, understood something. He waved his hand, signaling the palace servants to stand further away. He then stared at the dust whisk in his hand, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, pretending to be deaf.

Dan Xue was extremely worried, fearing that it was because of the random inquiries she had made before. She pursed her lips and was about to turn back to the palace.

"What are you doing?" Xu An quickly grabbed her.

Dan Xue did not hide anything from Xu An and told him the whole story.

"This is all my fault for being stupid. Please let me in, sir..."

Xu An interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, this is just a small matter, it won't make the emperor angry."

If the emperor really wanted to keep this secret from Concubine Xi, the people in front of him would never have told her.

Xu An was the emperor's most capable man. Danxue felt relieved when he said that, but she was still worried. "Eunuch Xu, the queen's throat still hurts. Why is the emperor still..."

You don't know your wife at all...

Xu An glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, the Emperor cares more about His Majesty than you do."

The noise inside seemed to have indeed become quieter. Danxue frowned slightly, but did not force her way in. She stood back in the corridor with a heavy heart.

Inside the palace...

Yun Qin wanted to shake off Huo Jinchi's hand, but failed. The corners of her eyes turned slightly red. "What do you mean by another man? Your Majesty, why doesn't you just say that I'm going to see General Shen!"

"You admit it?" Huo Jinchi raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes darkened, but he loosened the strength in his hands, afraid of hurting her.

It was a fact that Yun Qin was watching Shen Che from the window. Even if she denied it, the emperor would not believe it. Moreover, the more she denied it, the more it seemed that she had something to hide.

But the thing is, Yun Qin couldn't follow what Huo Jinchi said, otherwise the conversation would become:

"I just watched it and was worried about his safety..."

Yun Qin was not stupid, she just said the truth, "I just hope that the one who saved me was an old man, a eunuch, so that when the emperor said it, he would not say "another man"!"

"I can repay your kindness without any consideration, instead of causing him to suffer humiliation as well!"

Huo Jinchi's eyebrows jumped at these words, and his tone was no longer as strong as before, "What are you talking about? What humiliation? When did I ever mean that? You know, he treats you..."

"Yes, General Shen is unlucky." Yun Qin interrupted him, her hoarse voice filled with anger, "He shouldn't have saved me, I should have died at that time..."

"Yunqin!"

Huo Jinchi stopped her and was really angry at this time.

What she said was undoubtedly like stabbing him in the chest with a knife, and every stab of the knife drew blood.

Yun Qin also knew that he hated her saying such things, but when people were angry, they would inevitably say things without thinking.

She pursed her lips slightly, showing some trepidation, her eyes were red, and she said in a biting voice: "If the emperor's words were heard by others, wouldn't it mean that I would die?"

By the end of her speech, her voice was choked with sobs, but she tried hard not to cry.

Seeing her like this, Huo Jinchi couldn't get angry anymore.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, rubbing his thumb against the corners of her bright red eyes, "You know that's not what I meant."

Yun Qin lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Huo Jinchi sighed again and kissed her hair. "Okay, don't be angry. I was just being petty and shouldn't have said those words."

How could she not know that he was deliberately taking advantage of the situation and making a fuss out of nothing? He annoyed her, so she stabbed him in the chest.

He really refuses to accept even the slightest injustice and still wants to hear him admit his mistakes and bow his head.

Just lower your head. He is standing high up. If he doesn't lower his head, how can he get closer to her?

Yun Qin's eyelashes trembled slightly, still without looking up, but leaned forward and snuggled in Huo Jinchi's arms.

"I spoke without thinking, and I shouldn't have made the emperor sad." She put away her sharpness and became obedient again.

Hawking didn't believe this.

But he held her still and kissed her on the top of her head again.

Yun Qin put her arms around his waist. Perhaps because she had looked at him carefully in the morning and had some awareness, it was natural for her to discover more.

He has lost a lot of weight...

Fortunately, they still met frequently and slept together frequently, but she didn't even notice it.

Yun Qin had a rare moment of conscience, and she tightened her arms slightly, leaning into his arms and said softly, "In my heart, you are my greatest benefactor, no one can compare to you."

This finally made Huo Jinchi's frown relax a little. He lowered his eyes to look at her, "Someone said that you must live a hundred years to serve me."

Yun Qin blushed slightly and buried her head in his chest, "I remember everything!"

Huo Jinchi took her out of his arms, and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about being bored anymore."

Yun Qin was so angry that she pushed him to sit on the couch and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down!"

Then she shouted outside, "Someone bring tea!"

I wanted to call someone in quickly to ease my embarrassment.

To be honest, Yun Qin couldn't really explain what she was shy about.

Dan Xue quickly came in with tea. She first glanced at her master, and saw that her cheeks were flushed and there was still shame in her eyes, so she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately lowered her head, placed the teacup on the low table, and glanced quickly at the emperor.

Compared to his own master, the emperor sat in a much more casual posture, half leaning on the pillow, staring at his master with sidelong glances, his face unclear, but playing with a string of beads in his hands.

She had seen this string of beads before. The last time she saw it, it was wrapped around her master's wrist.

Dan Xue's eyes seemed to be burned for a moment, and she immediately drooped her eyelids and quickly left the side hall.

Seeing her come out, Xu An immediately went over and asked, "What happened?"

"It looks like nothing's wrong."

Thinking of the beads, Danxue's face still felt a little hot, because it was a piece of jewelry that was close to her body.

Seeing her like this, Xu An couldn't help but smile, "Let me tell you, the Emperor loves Concubine Xi the most."

Dan Xue lowered her eyes and smiled.

That night, Yun Qin stayed in Tongming Palace as expected.

However, there are many people in the harem who cannot sleep.

Among them was Fang Danying. She slammed a hairpin onto the dressing table and said, "Aunt made a mistake this time. Now the emperor not only feels more sorry for her, but is also angry with her, which has implicated me as well."

"The Emperor never liked me in the first place, and now, who knows how long I have to wait to be favored by him!" She looked at her own beautiful but not gorgeous face in the mirror, and she felt even more resentful.

"Since you have gone to great lengths to send me here, why can't you be a little more patient and wait for me to gain a firm foothold? Can't I still handle that Xipin?"

The maid Su Jin beside her leaned closer to her and whispered, "I think we can't just rely on the Queen Mother for promises. We still have to find a way out ourselves."

Fang Danying looked at her in the mirror and nodded slowly, "You are right. I really need to make some plans for myself."
