"Xue Qing, you are always so kind and think too simply. Qi Shuihan will not let go of Xingchen and me. If I want to survive, I have only one way..." Huaying's eyes flashed with determination and ruthlessness, "Kill Qi.
The water is cold!"
The cold and cruel look in Hua Ying's eyes made Xue Qing a little worried. As a mother, Hua Ying would do anything to protect her children.
…
Northern Tribal Alliance, Royal Palace.
Qi Shuihan was meditating in the practice room and asked not to see anyone. Qi Yi waited outside for several hours, but Qi Shuihan avoided seeing anyone.
Even though others thought Qi Yi was favored by the emperor, Qi Shuihan was unwilling to touch Qi Yi and treated her coldly. Qi Yi laughed at himself in his heart. She was a proud princess of Qi. When did she become so low-status?
I beg your Majesty to have a clear-eyed view and use all your strength. Thinking of the Jacaranda of Xiling and how easily she could get Qi Xingchen’s undivided love, Qi Yi felt her teeth itching with hatred.
"Empress, let's go back to the palace. Your Majesty is cultivating. There is no other way to wait." Qiaorou advised.
"There's no rush, I must wait for the king in person." Qi Yi sat on a chair, held a tea cup, and drank tea leisurely. If she didn't be more attentive, there was no way she could gain Qi Shuihan's trust.
Qi Yi felt a little sleepy. He held his head with one hand, lay on the chair, and slowly closed his eyes.
Qiaorou took the cloak and put it on Qi Yi.
More than an hour later, Qi Shuihan left the training room. He heard that Concubine Qi had been waiting outside, so he came to take a look.
When Qi Shuihan saw that Qi Yi was already asleep, Qiaorou felt her heart tighten when she saw the Great King. She hurriedly bowed to the Great King and was about to wake up Qi Yi when Qi Shuihan stopped her with a wink.
Qi Shuihan slowly walked to Qi Yi's side. This flower-like face and the familiar pair of red and phoenix eyes suddenly felt a touch in his heart. It had been a long, long time since a woman had cared so much about him.
He personally gave death to the woman he loved most, as well as his own flesh and blood. She refused to forgive him before she died and gave him the heaviest punishment - making him uneasy for the rest of his life!
"You all stand down." Qi Shuihan made a gesture.
"Yes." Qiaorou waited for the maid to retreat.
Qi Shuihan looked at Qi Yi indifferently, his indifferent expression changed. He murmured to himself and reached out to touch Qi Yi's face: "Fuxi~"
Qi Yi was startled and opened her eyes. When she saw Qi Shuihan, she was stunned. Qi Shuihan immediately retracted his hand and his face returned to numbness.
"Your Majesty." Qi Yi stood up and bowed.
"No courtesy, please sit down." Qi Shuihan made a gesture and glanced at Qi Yi's face, especially the pair of red and phoenix eyes, "What's the important thing for you to see me?"
"Your Majesty, I shouldn't bother Your Majesty with trivial matters, but I promised the daughter of the Prime Minister's family to arrange a marriage for her, and please Your Majesty to fulfill it," Qi Yi said.
"Yeah." Qi Shuihan responded casually.
Qi Yi mentioned the marriage between the prime minister's daughter and the young marquis of Nanjun. Qi Shuihan said impatiently: "You make the decision on these matters."
"Yes, thank you Your Majesty."
"I remember... you once mentioned the Prime Minister's daughter and said that you would try your best to persuade Prince Chen to take her as your concubine?" Qi Shuihan had some memories.
"Yes, but the love between Prince Chen and Princess Chen is stronger than gold. Prince Chen is not willing to accept the prime minister's daughter as his wife, so I can't force it, so I can only find a match for Miss Dong's family."
"Love is stronger than gold." Qi Shuihan thought about it and repeated the four words, with a little more melancholy on his brows.
