"Ulna, my princess is still young and doesn't like strangers."
The emperor coldly rejected Urna's request.
Su Qiqi stared at Urna with great vigilance:
[Is this the Northern Wilderness leader? Isn't he said to be very brave and powerful?]
[I thought talented people were all good-looking, but it seems I was overthinking it!]
[There's no harm without comparison! Alas, there are still more handsome men in our Tianqi country! ]
[By the way, why does Urna want to hug me? The look in his eyes gives me the creeps!]
Su Qiqi just felt very uncomfortable. She shrank her head and burrowed into Shen Mingyue's arms.
"Don't be afraid, dear."
Shen Mingyue comforted her softly, patting Su Qiqi's back gently.
Urna laughed heartily. "Children in our Northern Wilderness are as brave as wolves. Although this little princess is a girl, there's no need to treat her so delicately. Otherwise, she'll be embarrassed to show herself to others. But as the old saying goes, first time is strange, second time is familiar. I just want to hug her, nothing else."
"No! No no no!"
Su Qiqi strained her throat and tried to roar.
Urna's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He didn't expect that this little kid would reject him in public. It really made him lose face!
Seeing this, the emperor said, "If Qiqi is not happy, no one can force her."
"Oh."
Urna smiled coldly and sat down.
If he doesn't accept the toast, he will be punished. If the emperor doesn't let him hug him, he naturally has other ways!

The banquet was still going on, but Su Qiqi was already drowsy and snoring.
When I woke up again, I was back in Changle Palace.
Somehow, Su Qiqi just felt uncomfortable all over.
She scratched left and right, stretched her arms and legs, and then turned over with all her strength.
Suddenly the world started spinning, and then...
“Ow! It hurts… wuwuwu…”
Su Qiqi couldn't help crying loudly.
Her lower lip was scratched and bleeding, and blood and saliva kept flowing, dirtying her little hands.
"Qiqi!"
Shen Mingyue ran over upon hearing the sound and hugged Su Qiqi in her arms distressedly: "Someone come! Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician quickly!"
The palace maid ran out in a hurry.
Su Qiqi's head felt dizzy and painful, tears streaming down her face. Qiu He quickly took a handkerchief and wiped the blood off Su Qiqi's chin.
"This servant deserves death! It's my fault for not taking good care of the little princess!"
Hongye knelt at Shen Mingyue's feet, crying anxiously.
"Get up, this is not your fault." Shen Mingyue rubbed Su Qiqi's head and whispered, "How could this cradle be broken?"
After hearing what Shen Mingyue said, Su Qiqi turned around to look.
I saw that the originally exquisite wooden cradle had collapsed into pieces, and even a piece of wood had fallen off and fallen to the ground.
No wonder she fell so hard.
"I'll have a stronger cradle made tomorrow and covered with a thick blanket."
Qiu He said as he poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Shen Mingyue.
"Don't cry, come and drink some water."
Shen Mingyue blew on it, tried it again, and only after making sure it was not hot did she feed it to Su Qiqi's mouth.
Su Qiqi opened her mouth and drank in big gulps.
“Cough cough cough…”
After just two sips, she choked and started coughing.
I coughed so hard that I felt like vomiting, my face turned red, and I couldn't stop coughing.
Shen Mingyue threw the cup away, hugged Su Qiqi, and patted her back.
But Su Qiqi didn't calm down at all. She was still very uncomfortable and couldn't say a word even with her mouth open.
Shen Mingyue was anxious and panicked: "What's going on! Isn't this how we usually drink water? Is there something wrong with the water?"
Qiu He quickly poured a glass of water and tasted it carefully: "It's fine. I just boiled the water at noon. It's neither cold nor hot now."
Oh my god, I’m going to die!
[What's going on? Why am I so unlucky all of a sudden?!]
Su Qiqi was depressed and helpless.
Suddenly she felt an itch on the back of her neck and scratched it hard. It seemed like she had caught something.
With a sudden tug, a torn talisman appeared in his hand.
A long yellow strip of talisman paper with many strange red runes written on it.
She couldn't understand it because the font on it was a font she had never seen before.
[It’s over, I must be possessed! ]
Su Qiqi tightly grasped the talisman paper.
She sniffled and her lower lip began to bleed again.
Saliva and blood dripped onto the yellow talisman paper, soaking the runes and making them darker.
"What's this?"
Qiuhe took the talisman paper from Su Qiqi's hand, unfolded it, and handed it to Shen Mingyue.
"My lady, this thing is so weird."
Shen Mingyue's pupils suddenly sank: "Someone must have put this on Qiqi on purpose."
"I remember now!" Qiu He exclaimed, "When I was carrying the princess back to the palace, there was a fight in the Imperial Garden. Many people gathered to watch. I was also bumped into."
Shen Mingyue asked: "You didn't notice anything unusual at the time?"
Qiu He shook her head: "The princess was not awake and not injured at the time, so I didn't take it to heart."
Hongye reminded: "My Lady, could it be that someone wants to use this talisman paper to frame you?"
Qiu He also echoed, "Just like the witchcraft back then? But who in the harem would harm the Empress now?"
"What's going on?"
Lu Hongxuan and Mo Yunchi walked in from outside.
Seeing a group of people surrounding Su Qiqi, he hurried forward: "Qiqi is injured? Why is he bleeding? Is it serious?"
Mo Yunchi noticed the talisman paper in Qiuhe's hand at a glance.
"Where did this come from?!"
A rare look of anxiety appeared on his face.
Qiu He said truthfully, "It seems someone deliberately put it on the princess."
Mo Yunchi grabbed the talisman paper and examined it carefully.
He frowned and asked, "Is the blood on this also Qiqi's?"
"Well, the princess just fell off the bed and cut her lip. So..."
"broken!"
Before Qiu He finished speaking, Mo Yunchi started counting with his fingers.
His expression became more serious and he seemed very angry.
He murmured in self-blame: "Why didn't I notice? Why didn't I think of it!"
"Master, this talisman paper... is it very weird?" Lu Hongxuan asked.
Mo Yunchi gritted his teeth and said, "Borrowing luck, or even borrowing life."
