The night!
Inside the Zhuangyuan Mansion!
"Go to Sanxiao Town and bring Su Daqian and the other two to the capital overnight!" In the study, Qin Yun sternly tasked Qingshan!
"I will depart now!"
Qin Yun nodded. "You must ensure their safety!"
"I will complete the mission and escort the three back to the capital safely!"
That night, Qingshan set off for Sanxiao Town!
Qin Yun, meanwhile, was in the study organizing the evidence needed for tomorrow!
But upon closer thought, where were those tax ledgers? With that scoundrel?
Did she have to go to the palace late at night to retrieve them?
If only she had taken the ledgers earlier!
Qin Yun patted her forehead!
She decided to go to the palace.
Just as she returned to the main room, intending to change her robes before entering the palace to meet the Emperor, she found Xie Qianmo sitting by the bed, seemingly waiting for her!
Seeing Xie Qianmo in her room, Qin Yun quickly closed the door! Acting like a thief!
"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Qin Yun tiptoed towards Xie Qianmo!
She had been planning to go to the palace to find him!
She never expected him to come to her!
"You didn't come to the palace to accompany me, so I had to come out to see you!"
With a reach!
He pulled Qin Yun into his embrace and said tenderly, "Did you miss me?"
Being pulled into Xie Qianmo's embrace, Qin Yun was a little unaccustomed to it!
But she didn't act coy!
She had promised the scoundrel that she would be his half Imperial Consort, and this kind of hugging and holding was the most basic form of contact!
"Actually, I was just about to go to the palace to find Your Majesty!"
"Oh! For what reason?" Xie Qianmo asked softly. He knew very well that Qin Yun never came without a reason. If she were to look for him late at night, it must be for something important!
"Regarding the embezzlement, I have witnesses and evidence. I want to seize Fu Ze's weakness at tomorrow's court session!"
Xie Qianmo tickled Qin Yun's nose. "You are truly impatient! What's the point of catching the small fish and letting the big fish go?"
Qin Yun raised her eyes and met Xie Qianmo's gaze. "Your Majesty, you mean... catch them all in one go?"
Cupping Qin Yun's face, Xie Qianmo responded softly, "After Steward Wei escaped, Su Tai sought out Fu Jinsong!"
"Your Majesty also knows about Su Tai?" Qin Yun was very surprised!
She wondered in her heart, how much did this scoundrel know?
"Su Tai is not to be trifled with! If he sought out Fu Jinsong, he must have asked him to take the blame!"
Qin Yun frowned. "Will Fu Jinsong comply?"
"Naturally, he will. Su Tai's methods are very cruel. If Fu Jinsong is disobedient, he has plenty of ways to deal with Fu Ze!"
This means! Su Tai will escape the net!
This matter will be difficult to handle!
Seeing Qin Yun frown, Xie Qianmo reached out and smoothed her brow with his index and middle fingers!
"Don't worry, this matter is not urgent!"
Qin Yun sighed. "How can it not be urgent? Su Tai is so cunning, it's truly difficult to catch this fox's tail!"
"Isn't there still me? This matter cannot be rushed! In the next few days, Su Tai will pressure Fu Jinsong, which will give Fu Jinsong a chance to see his true colors!"
Qin Yun seemed to understand and tentatively asked, "Does Your Majesty mean to make Fu Jinsong and Su Tai estranged, to make them turn on each other?"
"You understand with just a hint, you're quite clever!" Xie Qianmo leaned down and kissed Qin Yun's forehead. "This is a reward for you!"
Qin Yun pouted and tried to get up, but Xie Qianmo pulled her down, and she ended up lying flat!
"Your Majesty, I want to get the ledger back!" Qin Yun lowered her voice!
Xie Qianmo's index finger stroked Qin Yun's face back and forth, and he smiled, "It's not safe for that thing to be with you! When it's safe, I'll send it to you!"
Qin Yun was displeased!
She wondered, why wasn't it safe with her?
Knowing Qin Yun's little thoughts, Xie Qianmo said patiently, "Su Tai sent people to investigate the ledger you retrieved from Sanxiao Town! If he knew you had the tax ledger, he would definitely send people to your manor to steal it!"
Xie Qianmo's explanation gradually eased Qin Yun's expression. "Your Majesty is worried that Su Tai will cause trouble for me privately?"
"This person is insidious and cunning. I don't want anything to happen to you, so I will keep the ledger safe for you!"
Qin Yun nodded in agreement!
The scoundrel's abilities were obvious to everyone, and she naturally trusted him!
"I won't do anything tomorrow, I'll just act like nothing is wrong!"
"Good girl!" Xie Qianmo leaned down again, intending to kiss Qin Yun's lips!
Qin Yun covered his lips with her hand and shook her head. "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you should return to the palace!"
"I just praised you for being good, and now you're not obeying me?" Xie Qianmo was not annoyed!
Looking at the person in his arms like this, he was already content!
"Your Majesty, I haven't rinsed my mouth yet!"
"I don't mind!"
You don't mind, but I do!
He came last night, and he's here again tonight!
Will this scoundrel come every night?
"Your Majesty, this place is small. We both have morning court tomorrow, so I won't keep you!" Qin Yun's tone was obvious; her intention was to make Xie Qianmo leave!
"You heartless one, I've just arrived and you're already trying to get rid of me?"
"I'm thinking of Your Majesty's well-being! How can you say I'm driving you away?"
"Since you are thinking of me, why don't you keep me? I will sleep with you tonight!"
Qin Yun turned her head to look elsewhere!
The thing she was most worried about had happened!
The scoundrel indeed wanted to stay!
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate! My bed is too narrow, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable for you!"
"I slept here last night, and the size is just right, I don't feel uncomfortable!"
Seeing Qin Yun's eyes darting around, Xie Qianmo knew she had ulterior motives. "Don't think of other ways to drive me away. If you insist, then you can come to the palace and live, eat, and sleep with me!"
Fine!
Rather than go to the palace, it was better to be like this!
"Then Your Majesty...!"
Just as Qin Yun was about to say something, Xie Qianmo interrupted her, "I said I wouldn't touch you!"
Alright!
After last night!
She could still trust him!
Getting out of Xie Qianmo's embrace, Qin Yun went to the bathroom to wash up!
After washing up, she returned to the bed and pretended to sleep as if nothing had happened!
She didn't say another word to Xie Qianmo throughout the entire process!
She knew that the more she said, the more excited the scoundrel would become!
Seeing Qin Yun sleeping on the inner side!
Xie Qianmo also took off his shoes and got onto the bed!
This time, Xie Qianmo also took off his outer robe!
Finally, he was only wearing his imperial yellow inner garments!
After lying down!
He turned his head to look at the back of Qin Yun's head!
And said pitifully, "I'm cold!"
It was June or July, and although it wasn't very hot, it wasn't cold either, was it?
She was a woman, weak, so she was covered with a quilt!
For a man, shouldn't he be warm?
Why would he be cold?
This person was definitely doing it on purpose!
"Qin Yun, I'm talking to you!"
Qin Yun pouted and reluctantly shared half the quilt with him!
Xie Qianmo was overjoyed to receive the quilt!
He knew that this child still cared about him!
Crawling into the quilt, the distance between them was reduced by another inch!
The quilt had Qin Yun's scent!
It smelled fragrant, and Xie Qianmo loved to sniff it!
At first, Qin Yun didn't feel anything!
But halfway through sleeping, the quilt on her body gradually became smaller!
She turned over!
She was face to face with Xie Qianmo, their eyes meeting!
