Chapter 148 What if it's not a big misunderstanding?
The two turned around, and a dark figure was hidden in the shadows.
For a fleeting moment, Qin Ye's aura turned cold.
But soon, things returned to normal.
"Wait for me here."
Qin Ye turned to her and said something before walking toward the dark figure.
Yun Si knew that the shadowy figure was the Phantom Guard who had killed her before, and judging from Qin Ye's reaction just now, he probably knew it too.
As he walked over, the dark figure spoke to him, and the atmosphere seemed rather heavy and oppressive. After a long while, the two finally finished speaking.
Dawn was approaching, and the morning mist was thick with a biting wind that chilled everyone to the bone.
Qin Ye had someone fetch a cloak and draped it over Yun Si, saying, "I'll take you to Shaohua Palace to rest. We'll go back to the manor together after I'm done with my work."
"good."
Yun Si nodded in agreement.
I didn't ask anything else.
Shaohua Hall is located between the East Palace and Yangxin Hall. It was a place specifically for royal nobles to stay and rest temporarily when they entered the palace.
After Qin Ye safely delivered her to her bedchamber in Shaohua Palace, he immediately went about his business.
She had just sat down in the room when Xiao Yi squeezed through the crack in the door.
It's getting bigger and bigger, and it's having some trouble getting in.
Yun Si went over, opened the door, and it darted inside.
The floorboards inside the house have been lit, and there are heated rooms on both the east and west sides, so the temperature is very comfortable.
As soon as Xiao Yi came in, she lay down on the ground and rolled around, revealing her soft white belly.
Yun Si walked over and noticed that its fur was also gradually changing.
It no longer resembled a cat, but rather a beast never before seen.
Although it's not as cute anymore, it still looks fiercely adorable.
Yun Si rubbed its belly and head, her gaze fixed on the window.
Footsteps and various panicked, suppressed whispers faintly came from all directions.
That was the inevitable purge and purging that followed the palace coup.
But Shaohua Palace seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier, maintaining an unusual tranquility.
Yun Si lay on the soft couch, closing her eyes to rest.
Having not slept all night, she felt no sleepiness at all. Only after lying down did she realize that her lower back and knees were extremely sore and weak.
Since practicing the internal energy cultivation method in the manual, she had never felt this way again.
Unless Qin Ye pushes her too hard each time, she will feel sore and weak the next day, but the pain will subside quickly.
This feeling arose out of nowhere, and a hint of suspicion flashed through Yun Si's mind.
Could it be that they caught a chill on the roof?
Xiao Yi was right beside her, and she didn't think too much about it, so she closed her eyes and took a nap.
After some time, there was a knock on the door.
Yun Si was awakened.
Looking up, I realized that it was already bright outside, and the closed window reflected a white light.
It looks like...it's snowing?
Yun Si got up from the couch, walked to the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, a biting cold wind rushed in.
The outside was indeed completely white.
The first snow of the year came so early.
"This servant greets Princess Xiao."
A palace maid stood outside the door, her face red from the cold: "His Highness Prince Xiao asked me to bring you some food."
"Come in."
Yun Si glanced at the palace maid and, seeing that she was carrying a food box, stepped aside to let her into the room.
After the palace maid went in, she brought out various steaming dishes. Xiao Yi, who was nearby, smelled the aroma and suddenly jumped onto the chair in front of the table.
Upon seeing this, the palace maid screamed in fright, fell to the ground, and retreated repeatedly.
Yun Si went over and helped her up: "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt people."
The palace maid stood up, still shaken, her face pale with fright. She glanced timidly at the imposing Xiao Yi and said in a trembling voice, "This...this servant has lost her composure...Your Highness, please have your meal."
Yun Si nodded and sat down at the table.
After a whole night of tossing and turning, I was indeed quite hungry.
She picked up her chopsticks and took out a piece of jade crystal cake that looked light and refreshing.
The moment it reached my lips, an indescribable greasy sensation, mixed with sweetness, hit me.
"vomit!"
She suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't help but gag. She quickly put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth, and frowned deeply.
Upon seeing this, the palace maid was terrified and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Your Highness, please spare me! There is absolutely nothing wrong with this meal. It was just prepared by the Imperial Kitchen... I carried it carefully all the way here and dared not be negligent in the slightest."
Yun Si suppressed the discomfort in her stomach and waved her hand: "It's none of your business, it's my own fault..."
Before she could finish speaking, an even stronger wave of nausea surged up her throat, causing her to gag again, her face turning slightly pale.
Just then, the palace door was pushed open, and Qin Ye, exuding a chilling aura, strode in.
He immediately noticed Yun Si's unwell appearance and the trembling palace maid kneeling on the ground, and his face darkened instantly: "What's going on?"
The palace maid was so frightened that she could barely speak and could only keep kowtowing.
It was all caused by the palace coup, which made all the palace maids and eunuchs live in fear, and they were terrified by the slightest thing.
Yun Si caught her breath and quickly said, "It's not her fault. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't stand the smell."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over the exquisite pastries and meat dishes, and her stomach churned again.
"Take it away quickly."
Xiao Yi whimpered twice beside her.
Seeing this, Yun Si couldn't help but smile and say, "They're all yours."
Qin Ye's sharp gaze lingered on Yun Si's pale face for a moment, then he looked at the food on the table. As if he had thought of something, his expression suddenly changed.
He stepped forward and waved away the palace maid who was almost fainting from fright: "This is none of your business, go down."
The palace maid felt as if she had been granted a pardon and scrambled out of the room.
Qin Ye sat down next to Yun Si, took her slightly cool hand in his, and asked in a tone that was tinged with barely perceptible nervousness and anticipation, "You...you are..."
Yun Si was taken aback, but immediately understood what he meant.
She usually gets her period almost every month after it starts, but this month... it seems like she hasn't gotten it.
Is that possible?
Yun Si dared not think about it.
Looking at her expression, Qin Ye felt that his guess was pretty much right, and he suppressed his excitement.
"You rest first, I'll have someone summon Doctor Ji to the palace to take a look at you."
"No rush."
Yun Si pulled him back and shook her head. "Perhaps it's because you didn't rest last night and caught a chill, causing your stomach upset. In these special times, it's best not to attract too much attention."
Besides, she could confirm for herself whether it was Dr. Ji or not. If it wasn't, it would be a big misunderstanding.
Qin Ye disagreed, his attitude firm: "I must see it."
He paused, his tone softening, with a hint of reassurance: "The chaos in the palace has been mostly dealt with, it's alright."
He helped Yun Si to sit comfortably on the soft couch before getting down to business.
"The Prince of Jin was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court along with Consort Shu, never to be released for the rest of his life. His associates will be punished according to the law. All those involved in the Northern Yan affair have been detained and are awaiting their fate, except for Huyan Zheng... who escaped."
Yun Si was somewhat surprised to hear the result.
The Prince of Jin was imprisoned for life instead of being sentenced to death for treason.
Even though the Prince of Lin murdered his father, he was not stripped of his title and was buried as a prince.
Consort Hua's heinous crime of deceiving the emperor also went unpunished.
He seemed to be exceptionally kind to his son, or rather, to those who had passed away.
But while he was alive, he subjected him to all sorts of oppression, and was so cold-blooded that he was almost inhuman.
Yun Si really couldn't figure out what kind of person he was.
An emperor's heart is as unfathomable as a needle at the bottom of the sea.
No one will ever truly understand it.
Seeing Yun Si remain silent, Qin Ye stared at her, his eyes darkening slightly: "Why aren't you saying anything? Who are you worried about?"
