My aunt looked back at me and said, "Just just passed the message, the emperor is about to arrive at Chonghua Palace. Come back and serve you quickly!"

"The Emperor is coming?"

My hands suddenly shook, and my aunt seemed to feel something. She walked up to me and looked at me: "Qingying, what's wrong with you? Why are you so ugly? You're still sweating so much. Are you sick?"

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

Although I stayed in Chonghua Palace these days and never met him again, I almost woke up from my nightmare every night, afraid that he would know that I had left the cold palace, afraid that he would come to me, and even more afraid that he would not let me go, and that there would be more violent punishment waiting for me. Every time I think of this, I would be so scared that I even wanted to stop my heartbeat.

And now, he is about to arrive at Chonghua Palace, and I can no longer avoid it.

When I thought of this, my fingertips suddenly became cold. My aunt looked at me anxiously, looked back at the sky, and said, "Don't be too slow. The emperor is here, we have to go back and serve, hurry up!"

After saying that, she pulled me up without saying anything and hurriedly walked towards Chonghua Palace.

Along the way, almost both legs were stiff, and my aunt was pulled back to Chonghua Palace by my aunt. As soon as I walked in, I saw the aunt from the kitchen coming. As soon as I saw us, I said, "You are finally back. The emperor has arrived. The ginseng soup that the empress ordered, you can send it over quickly."

As soon as I heard that he had arrived, my face turned pale. My aunt took the tray and handed it to me, and told me, "Grandma told you to serve me, go quickly."

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

"What's wrong with you girl?" said the aunt a little angrily: "Will you stop doing things if you are stupid? Besides, if you are with the Empress, there will be more days for the Emperor to come in the future. Would you never serve me? Is there such a thing?"

I suddenly shuddered.

Yes, she was right. I was following Shen Rou, and it would be a matter of time before he saw me. Even if he didn't see me here, if he wanted to ejaculate one day and couldn't see me in the cold palace, he would still find this place.

After all, I can't escape.

"Go quickly!"

My aunt pushed me again, and she pushed me to the steps. She looked up at the open door and the inexplicable pressure coming from the room. I bit my lower lip and finally took heavy steps and walked in step by step.

A familiar voice came from the opening door-

"I said last night that I wanted to come to accompany you, but I didn't come here, so I'm not angry with me."

I am really familiar with this voice, low and magnetic, but always with a hint of indifference that keeps people from thousands of miles away. Even though he once exhaled a warm breath in my ears, it still made my whole body tremble in fear at this moment.

Shen Rou let out a soft laugh and said, "Your Majesty, look at what you said. Xu Cairen is a happy event when he is pregnant, and it is also the only thing the emperor should have to accompany her. How could I be so petty and just be angry with the emperor?"

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

"Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor did not have a good rest last night, so I asked someone to prepare some ginseng soup to replenish the emperor's qi, and it's time to send it."

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

This seemed to be the first time I saw him during the day after he ascended the throne. I always met him at night. I was either drunk and venting my eyes or said nothing. He was just the source of pain to me. At this moment, he leaned on the couch and closed his eyes to rest. Shen Rou sat in his arms, holding his tender gloves in his hands, his fingers intertwined, and infinite feelings were lingering.

I tried my best to control myself from shaking, took a deep breath and walked over: "Empress."

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 suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at me, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

Shen Rou had already walked over with a smile and said with a smile: "The ginseng soup is here, 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 to him: "Master, please use it."

I didn't dare to look up at him, so I could only look down at the soup with the water rippling water. But at this moment, I saw another pair of eyes reflected on the water surface, like a sharp sword, thrusting my body, and the soup bowl was almost unstable.

He didn't speak, but those eyes were staring at me in the water.

"How could you be here!"

He almost gritted his teeth and said this sentence, and the suppressed anger is very familiar to me. If I were in the cold palace, the usually suppressed anger would be endless humiliation and abuse, which would make people crazy.

My hands were shaking even harder, and the soup was almost spilled out.

At this moment, a soft voice sounded in my ears: "Your Majesty, I am the one who transferred her to Chonghua Palace."

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

Shen Rou still had an extremely charming smile on her face and said, "The emperor asked me to help the queen assist in the six palaces. That day, I went to the cold palace to see it as usual, but I found that this girl was very sick and there was a shortage of medical treatment in the cold palace. If she delayed, I was afraid that her life would not be saved-"

Pei Yuanhao listened with a pale face. At this time, he looked up at me and I shivered slightly.

"I really can't bear it, so I asked the Empress to ask for this shortage and transferred her to Chonghua Palace. I made a proposition and hope that the emperor would forgive me."

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

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

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As soon as Shen Rou stood up, he said again: "If there are fewer people here, tell the eunuch directly that they will dispatch you, this girl--" He stood up and walked slowly to me. I kept my head down and dared not look at him, but I could feel his blade-like eyes staring at me, as if I wanted to stare a hole in my body.

Feeling his hot breathing smacking on his face, I subconsciously took a step back.

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

I looked up at him all of a sudden, but there was still no expression on his face, but a slight slight sneer appeared on the corner of his lips - he still refused to let me go.

At this moment, Shen Rou walked over slowly and said to him: "Emperor, what mistake did Zhiqingying make? The emperor must imprison her in the cold palace?"

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

"I dare not." Shen Rou still had a gentle smile on her face and said, "But, this girl was entrusted by His Highness the King of Qi to take care of me, so--"

"What?" Pei Yuanhao turned around and looked at her: "King of Qi?"

"Yes, when I went to the cold palace to check that day, I happened to meet His Highness King of Qi and wanted to go to the cold palace, saying that I wanted to visit her, but I also knew that it was unreasonable to do this, so I asked King of Qi to go back first. I promised him that if Yue Qingying was found, I would take good care of her. The King of Qi was young and he was inevitably a little rough in his work, but he was also kind-hearted. Now the emperor wants to send her back to the cold palace, but I am afraid that His Highness King of Qi will worry about this girl again-"

She didn't finish her words because at this time, a trace of bloodthirsty and cruelty appeared in Pei Yuanhao's eyes.

Even Shen Rou seemed to be frightened.

"Emperor—The Emperor…?"

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

"Yes."

...

The room suddenly fell into an indescribable silence. No one spoke. I only heard my heartbeat, which made my ears hurt. Then Pei Yuanhao slowly turned his head to look at me.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand toward me.

I thought he was going to hit me, so I was so scared that I closed my eyes and shrank, but he reached over and took the soup bowl in my hand. However, the ginseng soup inside was overflowing because of my movement just now, but he didn't seem to care at all. He just handed the bowl slowly to his mouth and took a sip.

The soup was dipped on his lips, and he stuck out his tongue and licked it gently.

Then, a nearly cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Since that's the case, let her stay here."

Shen Rou kept standing by and watching, and at this time she smiled and hurriedly walked over and said, "Qingying, the emperor has forgiven you, why don't you thank me quickly."

I knelt down suddenly, and my body was still trembling: "I, thank you for your kindness."

"Get up."

I wanted to stand up, but my legs were soft. I reached out to support the ground and then barely stood up. He kept standing in front of me, looking down at my embarrassed look. I blessed him again, turned around and wanted to leave, but heard his voice sounding coldly behind me: "Are I allowed you to go down?"

I bit my lower lip and looked back at him: "I don't know what else is there to tell me."

He looked at me coldly, but ignored me. Instead, he turned to Shen Rou and said, "I'll order the kitchen to prepare, I'll come here to dinner tonight, and it'll be here for you tonight."

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

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

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

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

When I left there, I felt relieved all over and my eyes were a little dizzy. I stood on the wall for a while before I took a breath and slowly walked towards the garden gate in front.

As soon as I walked to the door, I looked up and saw a tall and familiar figure standing in front of me, standing with my hands behind my back, hearing my footsteps, slowly turned around and looked at me.
