Chapter 275 "I feel much more balanced now"

After having a good meal at the Stone Boat and staying there until the sun set, Yun Qin returned to Anlan Pavilion.

Although she was determined in her heart that the Emperor had not regretted the matter of the Queen Mother, she was actually a little uneasy, as if something had not been done, which made her unable to calm down.

In order to stop herself from thinking too much, Yun Qin returned to the palace and took out a chess manual and started studying it with Dan Xue.

The two of them were playing chess on the couch, Rong Xin was doing some needlework on the stool beside her, and Tingchun was the busiest. On the one hand, he poured tea and water for Yunqin, on the other hand, he paid attention to the chess game and gave Danxue some bad ideas from time to time. When she rejected his ideas, he went to see where Rong Xin had embroidered the handkerchief.

She chatters away as if she never gets tired; she alone is more lively than a group of people.

When Hawking Chi arrived, all he heard was laughter and joy.

"Tingchun, can you please shut up? Don't you understand that a true gentleman watches chess without saying a word?" Danxue scolded unhappily.

"I'm not a gentleman, I'm a woman!" Ting Chun said confidently, "It's because you're such a bad chess player that I couldn't help but say that."

"Then come on, come on."

"No, I like watching chess, not playing it!"

"My queen, Rong Xin, please take care of her!"

Rong Xin would try to persuade her with a few words, but Yun Qin just laughed.

Hearing this, the corners of Hawking's mouth curled up slightly.

He stopped the palace maid at the door and listened for a while before looking at Xu An.

"The emperor has arrived." Xu An then shouted.

Huo Jinchi walked in afterwards. The person on the couch had not yet completely stood up in a hurry. She had already changed out of her gorgeous palace dress and was only wearing comfortable home clothes. From the chest to the waist, there was an embroidered pattern of birds playing with loquats, which was lively and lively, complementing her slight panic.

"Don't bother, just sit down." Huo Jinchi stretched out his hand and pressed it.

Yun Qin readily sat back down, pulled back her limp legs, and covered them with the hem of her skirt.

She glanced at Huo Jinchi who was sitting down, and saw that his expression seemed no different from usual. She didn't know whether to be encouraged or relieved.

Yun Qin did not ask in a hurry. After Dan Xue took the chessboard away, Yun Qin took the teapot from Dan Xue's hand and poured a cup of tea for Huo Jin Chi. "I saw that the emperor did not eat anything at noon today. Do you want to ask the kitchen to prepare dinner early?"

Huo Jinchi did not answer whether it was good or bad. Instead, he turned to ask her: "Did you eat at noon? Don't just eat lychees."

"Your Majesty, I sound like I'm greedy." Yun Qin glared at him and said, "Of course I'm full. If you don't believe me, ask Rong Xin. I ate half a plate of pork elbow myself."

Seeing the emperor looking over, Rong Xin immediately lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, Your Majesty also ate a whole steamed sea bass and drank a bowl of dried shrimp and egg drop soup."

Huo Jinchi raised his lips slightly and nodded, "Not bad, then prepare these for me for dinner tonight, and the rest is up to your wife's preferences."

"Yes." Rong Xin responded, and couldn't help but glance at Yun Qin with a smile.

Yun Qin's old face flushed, and she glared at Huo Jinchi again, but seeing that he was still in the mood to eat, she guessed that the result of the chat with the Queen Mother was not too bad.

But this idea was instantly shattered when he saw the wound on Hawking's hand.

When Huo Jinchi stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, the back of his hand was exposed in front of Yun Qin. She could clearly see the bloodstains on it, and they were obviously scratched by his fingernails.

"Your Majesty!" She grabbed his hand, frowning slightly, "Rong Xin, go get the ointment!"

When Rong Xin saw it, she was also shocked and hurried to get the ointment.

Huo Jinchi watched her scoop out some ointment, lowered his eyes and carefully applied the ointment to her with his fingertips. His eyes gradually softened, "It's not a big deal. Look at how surprised you all are."

Yun Qin still lowered her eyes as she applied medicine to him without saying a word.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Rong Xin winked at a few people and led them to retreat.

"Are you angry?" Hawking Chi turned his head to look at her expression.

He actually wanted to ask, "Are you feeling sorry for me?", but he was afraid that she would get even angrier, so he changed the question.

Is Yunqin angry?

A little bit.

She raised her eyes to glance at Huo Jinchi and snorted, "I left a nail mark on you, but you didn't care. It's bleeding, but you said it was fine. It shows that you deliberately make trouble for me on weekdays."

Huo Jinchi had never expected her to say that. He was a little amused and said, "So you are angry with me because of this. I thought you were heartbroken."

Yun Qin gave him a displeased look, put his hand aside, and reached out to him.

Huo Jinchi extended his other hand over again, and the smile on the corner of his lips could no longer be concealed.

"It seems that the Empress Dowager is really angry..." She said, and then looked up at Huo Jinchi, "The Emperor's hand is injured. Has the Empress Dowager calmed down?"

The corners of Huo Jinchi's lips drooped. He pulled his hand back, rubbed Yunqin's cheek, then reached out to her again, motioning her to sit next to him.

Yun Qin stood up and sat next to him.

Huo Jinchi leaned on the pillow, holding her hand with one hand, but he didn't know how to start talking for a moment.

Seeing him like this, Yun Qin did not urge him, but just looked at him quietly.

After a long silence, Huo Jinchi finally spoke, whispering, "I plan to let the Queen Mother stay in the palace."

Yun Qin's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "This palace has everything you need, but it's a little cold in winter..."

"There is a fire dragon in Ci'an Palace. I also plan to let Jiang Yuanzheng stay here to take good care of my mother's health."

"Your Majesty is very thoughtful."

After saying this, there was another long silence. After a long while, Huo Jinchi asked again: "Do you feel wronged?"

From what he said, this should be Hawking Chi's final decision. There will be no further punishment. As expected, he let the Queen Mother leave the center of the fight and protected her well.

Wronged?

Yun Qin lowered her eyes, a hint of sneer flashed across her face. She almost forgot how to write these two words.

"I am well now, so why should I feel wronged?" She continued without raising her eyes.

She didn't say she wasn't aggrieved, but that was actually true.

It's not that I don't feel wronged, it's just that I've already felt wronged, so what else is there to worry about?

Huo Jinchi felt a pain in his heart and reached out to hold her in his arms, "I asked too many questions."

Yun Qin leaned in his arms, lowered her eyes and rubbed the tassel hanging from his wrist, whispering: "Your Majesty has been unwilling to tell me what happened for a long time. I believe he must have suffered a lot of injustice from the Empress. Compared with you, I feel much more balanced."

This made Huo Jinchi look down at her and said, "You are becoming more and more courageous now. You even dare to make fun of me!" Then he pinched the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, you have wronged me. I feel sorry for you, not making fun of you." Yun Qin did not hide, but snuggled into his arms, holding his thin waist and refusing to let go.

Huo Jinchi was so annoyed by her that he didn't have the energy to pinch her face. He immediately hugged her with both hands, a smile in his eyes, but he snorted coldly, "Let go quickly, I don't believe you!"

"Your Majesty has wronged me. If you don't give me an explanation, I will not let go!"
