Chapter 288 Unimportant Answer

Not long after Jiang Yuanzheng left, Huo Jinchi sent someone to summon Yunqin to the throne.

Yun Qin looked at her and felt that he was like a dog smelling meat. No, not even a dog's nose might be as sensitive as his.

Before he could speak, Yun Qin spoke first: "I am fine, but I feel that I have been taking this medicine for too long. I want to ask Director Jiang to see if I should reduce the dosage."

Huo Jinchi choked for a moment, but still confirmed: "Are you really okay?"

Yun Qin nodded, glared at him, and said unhappily, "As long as Your Majesty doesn't ask me to tell you stories in the middle of the night, I should be in better shape."

Tingchun, who was pouring tea for Huo Jinchi, was so frightened when he heard this that his hands trembled.

The emperor actually likes to listen to stories at night?

She didn't dare to look up at the emperor. After knowing the emperor's secret, would she be killed to silence him?

Huo Jinchi pressed his tongue against his lower teeth and narrowed his eyes. "Empress Xi must be really dissatisfied."

This caused Yun Qin to glare at him again. It turned out that when it came to shamelessness, no two of her could compare to him!

In order to avoid hearing more things she shouldn't hear, Tingchun left immediately after pouring the tea, and made up her mind not to come back until her master left, so as to prevent the emperor from remembering her again and really silencing her.

After some laughter, the two of them got down to business.

"I heard that you asked President Jiang to prescribe a prescription for having a child?" Huo Jinchi asked in a normal tone, as if he was just asking a common question. However, only he knew in his heart how cautious he was when he asked this question.

Yun Qin didn't want to hide it from him, so she nodded and said, "Yes, although I am not in a hurry, the people below are a little worried for me."

She changed the subject, looked at Huo Jinchi and asked, "Is Your Majesty worried about me?"

Hearing her say there was no rush, Huo Jinchi's heart was already tense, but it was lifted up again because of her words.

If she's worried, what if she starts to get worried because of what I said?

But if she says she is not in a hurry, given her personality, she will definitely think too much, and the little bit of her heart that just leaned towards him will probably stay away from him again.

"Of course, I'm anxious." After weighing the pros and cons, Hawking Chi felt that this answer was safer.

Yun Qin, however, smiled. This answer was not important at all, because his hesitation just now was enough to explain everything.

If he really wanted her to give birth to the child, would he be so hesitant?

The answer, of course, is that he doesn't want her to have a child so early.

That's right. After all, she is now the most favored woman in the harem. If she really gives birth to a prince, he will be worried, and the court officials will probably be worried too.

So who does he want to give birth to the child first?

Legitimate son?

But it is obvious that a legitimate son cannot be born in the Fang family.

Yun Qin lowered her eyes slightly. It seemed that the talent show that was postponed this year would have to be moved to next year.

Without the Queen Mother's interference, he would probably be able to pick out a few that suit his taste.

Looking at her like this, Huo Jinchi knew that she must be thinking about something else.

He reached out and held her hand, and asked bluntly, "What are you thinking about?"

Yun Qin smiled at him and said, "Nothing, I was just thinking that this palace is really big and empty..."

Next year, she will probably have many more "sisters".

Huo Jinchi was slightly startled.

Although he could see through people's hearts, he was not a worm in Yun Qin's heart. Naturally, he didn't know that her thoughts had long since drifted away from the child to a boundless place.

"Why do you suddenly feel this way?" he asked again.

Yun Qin smiled and shook her head again, "I just wrote it down as I felt."

She changed the subject, hugged Huo Jinchi's arm, and said with a smile: "Then Your Majesty has to wait a little longer. Jiang Yuanzheng said that I have to take care of my body first before I can give birth to a healthy child."

Seeing that she was smiling and there was no gloom on her face, Huo Jinchi could only believe her words for the time being.

"Then you should listen to President Jiang and take good care of your health, which will also give me peace of mind."

Yun Qin nodded, "I will take the medicine well."

Huo Jinchi reached out and touched her face, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yun Qin raised her eyebrows. Why did this sound so strange?

But she didn't take it seriously, but thought about Concubine De's matter.

"Your Majesty, today Concubine Shen asked me about Nie's arrest. Was it her or Concubine De who harmed me? I think this matter needs to be resolved sooner or later, so as to avoid the palace's gossip."

Huo Jinchi glanced at Yun Qin, who rested her chin on his shoulder, and said, "You want to ask whether I will lift the house arrest of Concubine De, right?"

Even though she was exposed, Yun Qin did not panic. Instead, she lowered her eyes and touched the dragon pattern embroidered on his shoulder. "Your Majesty knows everything, so why are you still asking me what to do?"

Seeing that she didn't deny it, Huo Jinchi curled his lips slightly, tilted his head and kissed her lips, "It's my fault now."

Yun Qin pursed her lips, snorted, and didn't look at him.

Huo Jinchi said, "Of course we have to let her out, but she doesn't have to come to this temporary palace, after all, the arrangements are all in the palace."

The so-called arrangement naturally refers to Xu Danying and Kong Cainv who were demoted to commoners.

"That means I can still enjoy a few more days of leisure?" Yun Qin did not hide her happiness.

She had discovered long ago that Hawking liked her to reveal her little thoughts.

Just like now, even if she acts normal since Concubine De didn't come to the palace, Huo Jinchi wouldn't believe it, so it's better not to hide it.

"Happy?" Hawking tapped the tip of her nose.

Yun Qin nodded, kissed him on the cheek, curved her eyes, and deliberately bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

"Pretending." Huo Jinchi snorted lightly, but kept his arms outstretched beside her, fearing that she would move too much and fall off the couch.

Huo Jinchi still had to review memorials, but he did not let Yun Qin leave. Instead, he asked her to stay in the hall, allowing her to read books or play chess. He just wanted to be able to see her whenever he looked up.

After all, Yun Qin had lived in the emperor's bedroom before, so she had no problem adapting to this. She just leaned on the couch and did what she was supposed to do, completely ignoring Hawking Chi.

Near noon, Yun Qin, who was leaning on a low table looking at the imperial chart, straightened her back.

But his eyes never left the map on the table. Since he didn't have the chance to go out, it would be good to look at the map and recognize the territory.

As soon as she moved, Huo Jinchi raised his head and looked at her. "You are sitting crookedly. No wonder you feel uncomfortable."

Yun Qin glanced at Huo Jinchi who was standing there reviewing documents, wrinkled her nose at him, and was about to say something when Xu An walked in.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here."

How familiar this scene is...

Yun Qin raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but look at Huo Jinchi, remembering what he had said before.

He said that the eldest prince thought he was still angry with him, and he wanted him to talk to him first...

Yunqin still remains skeptical about this.
