My aunt looked back at me and said: "I just sent word that the emperor will be arriving at the Chonghua Palace soon. Go back and serve him quickly!"

"The Emperor is coming?"

My hand suddenly shook. My aunt seemed to feel something and walked up to me and looked at me: "Qingying, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so ugly? You also sweat so much. Are you sick?"
p>

I'm not sick, I'm just - too scared.

Although I stayed in Chonghua Hall these days and never saw him again, I would wake up from nightmares almost every night, afraid that he would know that I was out of the cold palace, afraid that he would come to visit me, and even more afraid that he would not let me go and would

There are even more cruel punishments waiting for me. Every time I think about these, I will be scared, so scared that my heart even wants to stop.

And now, he is going to Chonghua Hall soon, and I can no longer avoid it.

When I thought of this, my fingertips suddenly became cold. My aunt looked at me anxiously, then looked back at the sky, and said: "If you have nothing to do, don't wait any longer. The emperor is here, we have to go back and serve him, hurry up!"<

/p>

After saying that, she couldn't help but pull me up and hurriedly walked to Chonghua Hall.

My legs were almost stiff along the way, and I was dragged back to Chonghua Hall by my aunt. As soon as I walked in, I saw my aunt from the kitchen coming over. As soon as she saw us, she said: "You are finally back.

The emperor is already here. Your Majesty has ordered you to stew the ginseng soup."

As soon as I heard that he had arrived, my face turned even paler, and my aunt took the tray and handed it to me, saying, "My queen asked you to go over and serve me, so go quickly."

"Aunt..." My voice was trembling: "I, I'm clumsy, so don't let me go."

"You girl, what's going on?" The aunt said angrily: "You are so stupid that you can't do anything? Besides, if you stay with the empress, there will be many days when the emperor comes. Could it be that you just don't serve me all the time?"

Such a thing?"

I shivered immediately.

Yes, she is right. I am with Shen Rou, and it is only a matter of time before he sees me. Even if he does not see me here, if he wants to vent again one day and cannot see me in the cold palace, he will still

You will find it here.

After all, I can't escape.

"Go quickly!"

My aunt pushed me again, and I was pushed to the bottom of the steps. I looked up at the open door and the inexplicable pressure coming from the house. I bit my lower lip and finally took heavy steps.

Walk in step by step.

A familiar voice came from the open door——

"I said I would come to accompany you last night, but I didn't come. You're not angry with me."

I am really very familiar with this voice. It is low and magnetic, but it always carries a hint of indifference that repels people thousands of miles away. Even though he once breathed warm breath into my ear, it still makes me feel happy at this moment.

My whole body is shaking with fear.

Shen Rou let out a soft laugh and said: "Your Majesty, it depends on what you said. Xu Caieren's pregnancy is a happy event, and it is right for the Emperor to go and accompany her. How can I, my concubine, be so petty and just angry with the Emperor?

?"

Pei Yuanhao seemed to smile and said: "That's good."

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor didn't have a good rest last night, so I asked someone to prepare some ginseng soup to replenish the Emperor's energy. It's time to deliver it."

At this time, I had already walked to the gate, and the familiar figure in the room suddenly came into view.

This seems to be the first time I have seen him in the daytime after he ascended the throne. I usually meet him at night. He is either drunk and just venting his anger, or he is silent and his face is ashen. He said to me

For him, it was just the source of pain; but at this moment, he was leaning back on the couch with his eyes closed and meditating. Shen Rou was sitting in his arms, with a pair of catkins in his hands, intertwined with his fingers, and there was infinite affection.

Emotions.

I tried my best not to tremble, took a deep breath and walked over: "Mother."

Hearing my voice, Shen Rou still had a smile on her face, but the man seemed to have heard a bolt from the blue. He looked at me with wide eyes, and his expression suddenly changed.

Shen Rou had already walked over with a smile and said with a smile: "The ginseng soup has been delivered. Hurry up and bring it to the emperor."

I put the tray on the table, lowered my head and picked up a bowl of ginseng soup, and slowly walked up to him: "Your Majesty, please use it."

I never dared to look up at him. I could only lower my head and look at the rippling warm soup. But at this moment, I saw another pair of eyes reflected in the water, like sharp swords, which made me tremble.

The soup bowl is almost unsteady.

He never spoke, but his eyes were staring at me in the water.

"Why are you here!"

He almost said this through gritted teeth, and that kind of suppressed anger is all too familiar to me. If it were in the cold palace, usually after such suppressed anger, there would be endless humiliation and abuse, what would happen?

Makes you crazy.

My hands shook even more, and the soup almost spilled out.

At this time, a soft voice sounded in my ears: "Your Majesty, it was my concubine who transferred her to Chonghua Palace."

"What?" Pei Yuanhao's face darkened and he looked back at Shen Rou.

Shen Rou still had a very charming smile on her face and said: "The emperor asked me to assist the queen in managing the Sixth Palace. That day, I also went to the Leng Palace to see the girl as usual, but found that the girl was very sick and there was a shortage of doctors in the Leng Palace.

If the medicine is delayed, I'm afraid her life will not be saved——"

Pei Yuanhao listened with a livid face. At this time, he raised his head and glanced at me, and I shrank slightly.

"I really couldn't bear it, so I asked the queen to take the job and transfer her to the Chonghua Palace. I am good at making my own decisions. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

After saying that, she stood up and knelt in front of Pei Yuanhao.

Pei Yuanhao didn't speak, but looked at me coldly. After a while, he said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Just as Shen Rou stood up, he said again: "If you are short of people here, just tell the supervisor and they will send you over. This girl -" He stood up and walked slowly to me.

I kept my head down and didn't dare to look at him, but I could still feel his razor-sharp eyes staring at me, as if he wanted to poke a hole in my body.

Feeling his hot breath on my face, I subconsciously took a step back.

His eyes turned cold and he said: "Send her back to the cold palace!"

I suddenly raised my head and looked at him. His face was still expressionless, but the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing an almost cruel sneer - he still refused to let me go.

At this moment, Shen Rou slowly walked over and said to him: "Your Majesty, I wonder what mistake Qingying has made. Why must the Emperor put her in the cold palace?"

Pei Yuanhao glanced at her and his eyes became cold: "Do you still need to come and ask about my affairs?"

"I don't dare." Shen Rou still said with a gentle smile on her face: "It's just that this girl was entrusted by His Highness King Qi to my care, so——"

"What?" Pei Yuanhao suddenly turned around and looked at her: "Prince Qi?"

"Yes, when I went to the cold palace that day to check, I happened to meet His Highness King Qi who wanted to go to the cold palace. He said he wanted to visit her, but I also knew that this was unreasonable, so I asked the king of Qi to go back first. I

Promise him that if he finds Yue Qingying, he will take good care of her. King Qi is young and his work is inevitably a bit rough, but he also has good intentions. Now that the emperor wants to send her back to the cold palace, I am afraid that His Highness King Qi will worry about this girl again——"

She didn't finish her words, because at this time, Pei Yuanhao's eyes already showed a hint of bloodthirsty cruelty.

Even Shen Rou seemed frightened.

"Your Majesty—Your Majesty...?"

"You said King Qi should go to the cold palace to find her?"

"Yes."

……

The room suddenly fell into an indescribable silence. No one spoke. I only heard my own heartbeat. It was so loud that my ears hurt. Then Pei Yuanhao slowly turned his head to look at me.

.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand towards me.

I thought he was going to hit me, so I was so scared that I closed my eyes and shrank, but he reached out and took the soup bowl from my hand. However, some of the ginseng soup inside spilled out due to my action just now, but he seemed to

He didn't care at all, he just slowly put the bowl to his mouth and took a sip.

Some of the soup stained his lips. He stuck out his tongue and licked it gently.

Then, an almost cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"In that case, let her stay here."

Shen Rou had been standing by and watching. At this time, a smile appeared on her face, and she hurriedly came over and said, "Qingying, the emperor has forgiven you, why don't you thank me quickly?"

I knelt down all of a sudden, still trembling a little: "Slave, thank you for your grace."

"Get up."

I wanted to stand up, but my legs were getting weak. I stretched out my hands on the ground to support myself before I managed to stand up. But he kept standing in front of me, looking down at my embarrassed look, and I turned towards him again.

Yifu turned around and wanted to leave, but heard his voice coldly ringing from behind: "Are you allowed to go down?"

I bit my lower lip and looked back at him: "I wonder if your Majesty has any other instructions."

He glanced at me coldly, but ignored me. Instead, he turned to Shen Rou and said: "Instruct the kitchen to prepare. I will come over for dinner tonight. I will stay with you tonight."

A smile suddenly appeared on Shen Rou's face, and she hurriedly came over: "Yes."

Pei Yuanhao looked at her and smiled, turned around and walked out.

After his back disappeared from the door, Shen Rou walked up to me. She still had a soft smile on her face, but there seemed to be something extra in her eyes. She looked at me for a while, and then said with a smile: "Go down."

Send the message."

I vaguely felt something was wrong, but I couldn't tell where it was, so I could only nod in agreement, then turned around and left.

After I left there, I felt my whole body relax and my eyes felt a little dizzy. I stood leaning on the wall for a while before I could catch my breath and slowly walked towards the garden gate in front.

Just as I walked to the door, I looked up and saw a tall, familiar figure standing in front, with his hands behind his back. When he heard my footsteps, he slowly turned around and looked at me.
