Have Soft Spot for Her / A Tale of Love and Loyalty / Shou Ta Yi Bing

Chapter 05 Sincerity

In Hanning Palace, Pei Qing coaxed Xiao Ji'an to sleep and stood by watching him quietly.

She was worried that he would be frightened, but she never thought that Xiao Ji'an would actually hold her hand and comfort her. Children are bold, but Pei Qing is afraid.

If the Nanchuan Army had arrived a little later, the three of them would have been killed by King Yu's faction.

"Empress."

When Pei Qing was lost in thought, Zhi Lan called her softly, "I will help you wash up."

Pei Qing was still the same as before, with messy hair and blood-stained clothes. She was rarely in such a mess. Since entering the palace, she has strictly abided by the rules and etiquette of the palace, imitating her sister in every move, word and deed. Because her sister never makes mistakes.

Zhilan helped her to the inner room, where she took off her clothes and let down her long hair.

"Zhi Lan, are you injured?"

Zhi Lan couldn't help but blush as she recalled the way Pei Qing jumped on her. She shook her head: "No, I'm fine. I'm not hurt at all."

Pei Qing nodded lightly and was silent for a while. Then she asked, "Is everything going well with Your Majesty?"

"Don't worry, everything is fine with Your Majesty. The people who forced the palace to rebel have been executed on the spot. The Imperial Army has been seriously injured. Now the palace defence has been taken over by the Nanchuan Army."

"It's just..." Zhi Lan stopped talking.

"What?"

"Niangniang, King Nanchuan is also a member of the imperial clan, and he has a large number of soldiers. Now that the imperial city is under his control, will your majesty and the prince be in danger?"

Pei Qing sighed softly; Zhi Lan could always think forward after staying by her side for a long time.

She asked: "Did King Nanchuan live in the palace?"

Zhi Lan nodded, "He still lives in the main hall of the East Palace. That...that is the place where the crown prince should live. It was given by the late emperor when he made our majesty the crown prince."

But he has always been like this. If he likes it, take it without asking anyone.

Pei Qing changed her clothes, tied up her hair again, and even painted Yuanshan Dai and put on rouge with her own hands.

Zhilan was puzzled that the empress never liked to dress up. She even thought that natural beauties would not know how to dress up. This time with pink makeup, she is so beautiful that her heart trembles.

"Zhi Lan, stay with Ji'er for me."

Zhilan was startled, "It's so late, my queen wants to go out alone?"

"Yeah." She responded briefly without saying much.

It was she who wrote a letter begging him to come. If she didn't go to him tonight, it would be a different story tomorrow. If he gets angry, His Majesty and the children will be in danger.

In the cold night, Pei Qing walked step by step, thinking. Now, does this count as shooting oneself in the foot? She thought of him when life and death were at stake, but after the crisis, she couldn't help but guard against him.

The East Palace, which was not so close at first, actually arrived so quickly. Before she even got close, she heard the sound of a group of soldiers drinking and making noise at the door. They chatted about Nanchuan beauties and sang Nanchuan ballads.

Chu Li saw her first and shouted "Queen, Queen", causing the surrounding area to quiet down immediately.

In the middle of the night, what is the Queen doing here alone without her maid?

A group of people looked at her and she looked at them. In a strange atmosphere, they watched the beautiful queen and empress walk into the prince's bedroom.

The moment Chu Li closed the door behind him, Pei Qing heard the exclamations and ridicules from outside. In the middle of the night, she entered a man's bedroom under the eyes of everyone.

Integrity and dignity were gone when she stepped here. She closed her eyes and walked inside.

Beside the bed, an extremely handsome and evil man leaned casually on the bed rail. He had obviously just taken a bath. He was only wearing a black silk undershirt, without any belt, and his chest was wide open, revealing his strong figure and hideous scars.

He was wiping a sword in his hand, but the blood soaked into the blade and could not be wiped clean at all. Suddenly smelling the fragrance, Xiao Yuan turned his head.

Pei Qing looked away almost immediately, just one glance was enough to see him recognize her.

But Xiao Yuan was not like that. He stared at Pei Qing unscrupulously, and Pei Qing could feel the heat and disgust in his eyes.

After a long while, Xiao Yuan suddenly smiled: "The empress didn't say anything when she came, which frightened me."

His voice didn't change, she had heard it when she was in Hanning Palace. It's just that the tone of his speech has changed. He used to be happy and cheerful, but now it's full of disdain and provocation.

Pei Qing lowered her eyes, "I... came to thank King Nanchuan for leading his troops and escorting Your Majesty."

Xiao Yuan continued to clean his sword, as if he didn't hear her voice at all.

But Pei Qing knew that of course he could hear it, and continued: "Your Majesty cares about the brotherhood, the relationship between uncle and nephew, and Pei Qing thanked the prince on behalf of Your Majesty and Ji'er. With... the prince's blessing, no one will force the palace to rebel again. .”

The tone was tactful, but there was something in the words. She thanked him for saving her, but she also suspected that he had ulterior motives.

Xiao Yuan sneered, "Why, the grievances and pleas written in the letter were agreed to in every possible way, but now they don't count?"

Seeing him getting up, Pei Qing took a step back.

Xiao Yuan's face turned cold. Pei Qing knew that he was going to be angry. She picked up the hem of her skirt and knelt down. Her voice was trembling: "As long as the prince promises not to harm Your Majesty and Ji'er, everything in the letter will be taken care of."

The mother of a country was kneeling at his feet at this moment, trembling and begging him helplessly.

This feeling seems good.

Xiao Yuan licked the corner of his lips, dragged the sword to her, and raised her face with the tip of it. As expected, the pear blossoms are covered with rain, and they are gentle and pitiful, causing people to feel pain.

The tip of the sword slid down with the man's gaze and penetrated her collar. It was sharp and cold, making her tremble.

Xiao Yuan counted them patiently and sneered.

"Wearing so much, is this your sincerity?"
