Qin Luo Fei followed Xiao Linzi to the imperial study, and saw that the eunuchs that usually stayed in the imperial study had all left. Inside the vast palace, only Emperor Ming was leaning on his desk, reading the memorial:

For the first time, Qin Luofei felt that this palace was truly too spacious, and that the person was truly too small.

"Concubine Qin, you must be careful. This humble house is at the entrance of the hall. Xiao Linzi reminded his repeatedly.

Qin Luofei nodded. At this moment, she wasn't in the mood to provoke him.

Even though Princess Jin Yun was barbaric, being so popular in the palace, her personality was merely to protect herself. She was not a bad person.

Qin Luofei stealthily brought the small stove used to fry tea into the hall, and wholeheartedly brewed tea. As if Emperor Ming didn't know he had entered, he kept his head lowered, reading the memorial:

However, after reading for a long time, it was still the same memorial:

He never moved.

Qin Luofei had finished frying the tea. When she reached the teacup of the green grapefruit, she walked to the side of the Emperor Ming and saw the memorial:

In the moist places above, Qin Luofei's heart was slightly moved.

"Am I especially useless?"

Emperor Ming's voice was extremely hoarse, as if he was a different person.

"Your majesty." Qin Luofei did not know how to comfort the Emperor Ming. In this instant, she had completely forgotten how he had treated her in her previous life.

"I feel such heartache." Emperor Ming suddenly turned around, hugged Qin Luofei's waist, and pressed his head tightly against her waist. His body was trembling slightly.

Qin Luofei didn't know what to say, and the Emperor Ming didn't say anything either. After a long while, the Emperor Ming raised his head, and with a pair of sharp eyes, he said to Qin Luofei in a stern voice, "For today's matters, just pretend you didn't see it. Otherwise, be careful of your head."

Turning her face like a book, Qin Luofei had long gotten used to the ruthless way the emperor turned his face.

"Chenqie, I didn't see anything." Qin Luofei placed the tea in her hand in front of Emperor Ming. Just as she was about to retreat, Emperor Ming held her hand.

"Sit beside me and talk to me!"

Qin Luofei nodded and helped Emperor Ming put away the paper.

Emperor Ming's eyes looked at the sky outside the hall, and said faintly: "I do not like Jin Yun, she has been doted on by royal father since she was young, so she has always been the best. And although I am the son of the empress, I was too weak and sick, and could only watch my brothers play, while I can only hide in the palace to recuperate."

This was the first time in this world that she had heard the heartfelt words of the Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming embraced Qin Luofei, pressed his cheek into the crook of her arm and closed his eyes.

Time was still and quiet. There was no other sound in the spacious hall, only the sound of two people speaking to each other.

"I really like the smell of you." Emperor Ming muttered softly.

Qin Luofei stretched out her hand to touch Emperor Ming's hair. His hair was thick and shiny, but it was also exceptionally supple. Qin Luofei's hand finally fell. She caressed the Emperor Ming's hair and said gently, "Your Majesty, don't think too much. Everything will be fine."

Emperor Ming nodded slightly, and hugged Qin Luofei's waist even more tightly.

During this period of time, it quietly caused Qin Luofei to suddenly return to her previous life.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, even Qin Luofei closed her eyes, only to see the person in her embrace move. Emperor Ming opened her charming eyes and stared at Qin Luofei in a daze, the corner of her lips curled up in a warm smile.

"I had a dream. A dream of the past." Emperor Ming's voice was very empty, as if he himself still hadn't woken up from that dream.

Qin Luofei's body trembled slightly as she said, "Your Majesty would dream of others as well. Chenqie thought that only mortals like us would dream of others."

"Did that Love Consort dream of us?" Emperor Ming grabbed onto Qin Luofei's hand and asked anxiously.

After a long while, Qin Luofei shook her head and said: "Chenqie, I never dream."

A look of disappointment flashed past Emperor Ming's eyes, but was quickly restrained.

"Your majesty, are you in the palace?" The empress dowager's stern voice came from the door of the palace.

Emperor Ming immediately stood up and said to Qin Luofei, "Go to the back hall, I won't let you out, you're not allowed to come out."

Qin Luofei knew that the empress dowager was definitely angry, and that it might implicate her. Seeing the lonely figure of the Emperor Ming, she bit her lips and entered the rear hall.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, His Majesty the Emperor." Before Xiao Linzi could finish speaking, the empress dowager had already barged in with his men.

The empress dowager's face was ashen, her eyes red as she glared at the emperor.

Emperor Ming walked in front of the empress dowager, knelt down on both knees, and lowered his head without saying a word.

"You made a good emperor and sacrificed your own sister." Her Majesty threw the Spa over the Emperor's head.

What Qin Luofei said in the back hall was true, she was actually faintly worried for him in her heart.

"Please, mother, punish me." Seeing the empress dowager angry, the Emperor Ming did not dare to disobey.

The empress dowager laughed coldly, "How could I dare to punish you? This one will be happy as long as you send Jin Yun, this one, back. "

"Empress Dowager." Emperor Ming kneeled on the ground and remained motionless.

Seeing the Emperor Ming's attitude, the empress dowager became even more furious. She shouted at the Emperor Ming in a stern voice, "Tell me, did you already tell your Uncle Jing to send out the troops? Why did you still send Jin Yun to the south? Do you know where you are going to leave Jin Yun at the start of a war between two nations? Today, if it wasn't for Jing Yun's carriage falling off the cliff, then in the future, she would be in trouble. You really are a good royal brother! "

The Emperor Ming was actually already prepared to attack the Southern Wilderness, and he actually still had to send Jin Yun to make peace with her. All this was just to numb her, to give her sufficient time to prepare, but to Jin Yun, that was just too unfair.

"You have nothing to say?" Her Majesty is not ashamed of her anger.

Emperor Ming raised his head and looked at the empress dowager. "This son has nothing to say and will allow the empress dowager to scold me as she pleases."

"This Dowager, I don't want to scold you, but as long as you are Jin Yun, this Dowager will be disappointed." As the empress dowager spoke, she turned and left. The other palace maids behind her didn't dare to speak much.

Emperor Ming kneeled there in a daze, not moving at all.

Xiao Linzi and the other eunuchs in the royal study did not dare to persuade him.

"Concubine Qin." Xiao Linzi said in a low voice as he walked to the side of Qin Luofei.

Qin Luofei walked out of the back hall and waved to the others, "You may leave!"

Qin Luofei walked over to Emperor Ming's side, opened her mouth, and said it in the end.

"Your Majesty, you have to brace yourself. The empress dowager isn't satisfied with you, and Empress Dowager is there as well." This palace was far from being as calm as it seemed.

The Empress Dowager had probably always doted on the Prince Jing and was not satisfied with the previous emperor either. Now, no one knew what the Empress Dowager was thinking.

The Empress Dowager stuffed two women into the Emperor's hands. It was hard to say if he didn't think about it.

Meanwhile, the empress dowager had always loved the second and seventh princes. She didn't have much kinship towards the emperor, so it could be said that his situation was precarious.

At this juncture, internal and external troubles, especially when the dynasty was changing, could cause one to fall into the abyss if one was not careful. One had to be on guard.

Emperor Ming grabbed Qin Luofei's finger and looked at her with eyes as calm as the clouds.

"Stand up!" Qin Luofei helped Emperor Ming up.

Emperor Ming's fingers tightly grabbed onto Qin Luofei. She knew that while the emperor was looking at the scenery, it was filled with danger. The women of the harem loved power more than the emperor.

"I want Xi Di to bring troops to meet up with Uncle Jing Jing." Emperor Ming said coldly.

Qin Luofei nodded slightly, and said: "This is the best plan, Prince Xi's martial arts are extraordinary, and your strategy is extraordinary. It will definitely be able to bear the responsibility."

Qin Luofei initially didn't want to expose herself too much, but when she saw his weakness, she couldn't help but soften her heart.

"You're too soft-hearted towards me." Emperor Ming said coldly.

Qin Luofei nodded slightly, and said: "This is chenqie's weakness, and also chenqie's strong point. "Chenqie can't look on with worry on the Emperor's face. He's Chenqie's husband, and they will both suffer losses and rise in glory. Chenqie can't help but think for the emperor."

"Great, then you have to worry about me again. I want you to persuade Prince Xi, but I can't do it. I can only let Brother Xi set off on his own accord." Emperor Ming looked coldly at Qin Luofei.

Qin Luofei lightly nodded, smiled and said, "Being able to be used by His Majesty is also chenqie's good fortune. chenqie will take her leave now."

The emperor was indeed lonely.

When Qin Luofei walked out of the main hall, the corner of her mouth revealed a hint of a cold smile.

Even though she didn't like him, she didn't like the fact that the mountains were given to others. He couldn't fall down yet, so she was willing to be used by him.

Qin Luofei naturally would not openly look for the Prince Xi, but she secretly sent a young eunuch to send a message to the Prince Xi, "Your Majesty, I hope the Prince Xi can go out to war."

There was no need for her to be a good person for the emperor. Honestly speaking, Prince Xi was such a smart person, he would definitely understand.

As expected, the Prince Xi went to tell the empress dowager that he wanted to avenge his royal sister. The empress dowager was naturally unwilling, but the Prince Xi had to go, and the emperor had agreed.

As such, the relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager became more and more tense.

Qin Luofei lazily lied on top of the imperial concubine bed, sipping on the clear tea in the tea cup as she instructed Daihua to make more delicious snacks. She invited Du Qingcheng and Ling Tai to the palace for tea.

After Ling Tai followed Du Qingcheng, Du Qingcheng asked the empress dowager to instruct Ling Tai on the Four Books and Five Classics.

The Third Young Master was also teaching Ling Tai martial arts. Ever since the incident with Princess Jin Yun, Qin Luo Fei and the Third Young Master had drifted apart.

Although Jin Yun's death had nothing to do with Third Young Master, Qin Luofei still resented the viciousness in the depths of her heart.

An infatuated woman.

In this life, Qin Luofei especially hated lucky men.

Daffodil Dayflower made a few good side dishes and snacks, then brought out the good wine she'd brought from the manor. She couldn't possibly treat the empress in such a shabby manner.

In the past few days, he heard that the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain had also sent a vassal state to pursue Princess Jin Yun. Although Jin Yun did not enter the Southern Wilderness, she had already made an engagement with the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain.

The cliff was too high, and Jing Yun's princess body had not been found. The empress dowager was worried and had been bedridden for several days.

Emperor Ming went to pay respects at the empress dowager's palace, but was stopped by the mama next to the empress dowager.

Qin Luofei was also too lazy to bother with Emperor Ming. He was a fickle person after all, and she had helped him in the end.

"Miss, you should at least get used to dressing up! "How can you meet people like this?" Miss Duskgold was stunned and could not bear to advise him otherwise.
