The sky brightened!
Qin Yun sat alone in the study, her expression blank!
So much had happened last night, catching her completely off guard!
What saddened her the most was... the deaths of You Da and Mr. Jin!
Qing Shan had only left the woodshed for a moment, and they had already managed to strike!
It seemed everything was within their opponent's control!
Could it be... that person was nearby?
Or was the mastermind within the Qin Manor itself?
Qin Yun patted her head, this matter was truly perplexing!
"Qing Shan!" Qin Yun called out softly!
The next moment, Qing Shan pushed the door open and entered!
"My Lady, what are your orders?"
Qin Yun narrowed her eyes, her fingertips tapping the desk unintentionally. "For today, let Min Shi go for now. Change the target of the whipping to Qin Yu. I want Qin Yu's screams of pain to echo throughout the Qin Manor, from day to night, letting Qin Yu taste the suffering of hell!"
"Yes! Your servant will arrange it immediately!"
After Qing Shan left, Hong Fu came to Qin Yun's side.
"My Lady, these are pastries made by the kitchen, please try them!"
Qin Yun waved her hand. "I have no appetite, take them away!"
"Then My Lady should go to the main house to rest for a while?"
Qin Yun still waved her hand. "I need to go to the Qin Manor!"
Hong Fu frowned. "My Lady, Qing Shan will handle the matters you've assigned. You don't need to worry!"
"I need to be with Father. I'm worried... that when Qin Yu is being whipped, Father won't be able to bear it! I need to watch over him!"
After all, Qin Yu was still his daughter in Qin Yuanzhang's eyes!
"My Lady...?" Hong Fu seemed hesitant, but she dared not disobey Qin Yun's words!
Just then, Xiao Ju entered the study. "Young Master, Young Master, someone from the palace is here!"
"Alright! I'll go out and see!"
Qin Yun walked out of the study and into the front hall. She saw Fang Jing arrive with two young eunuchs!
"Eunuch Fang, what brings you here?"
Having not seen him for some time, Qin Zhuangyuan seemed to have grown haggard!
Fang Jing frowned slightly. "Did Qin Zhuangyuan not rest well? Your complexion is so poor?"
Qin Yun smiled. "It's just some trivial matters at the manor, Eunuch. You don't need to worry. Did the Emperor send an imperial edict?"
"The Emperor has decreed that Qin Zhuangyuan be summoned to the palace!"
"Qin Zhuangyuan, let's go! I was specifically sent to escort you!"
"This...?" Qin Yun seemed troubled. At this critical juncture, why would Jie Qianmo, that demonic man, suddenly want to see her?
But she couldn't refuse!
She could only hope to see the Emperor quickly and return to her manor soon!
"Qin Zhuangyuan?" Fang Jing urged again!
"Very well, I will accompany Eunuch Fang."
Qin Yun turned and gave some instructions to Xiao Ju and Hong Fu before following Fang Jing to the palace!
The Imperial Palace!
Inside the Imperial Study!
"Your humble subject pays respects to Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty!" Qin Yun bowed respectfully!
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Qin Yun slowly stood up, her head lowered, standing in place!
"Qin Yun, have you been very busy lately?" Jie Qianmo's cold voice reached her.
"Not really, just some minor affairs within the manor!"
"Come forward!"
Qin Yun's brow furrowed slightly. What was this dog man plotting now?
"Your Majesty, if you have something to say, just say it. I can hear clearly," Qin Yun said, her head still lowered as she remained standing!
Jie Qianmo "........?"
One second!
Two seconds!
Three seconds!
Even after several seconds, Qin Yun did not hear Jie Qianmo speak!
Only then did she slowly raise her head!
She saw that Jie Qianmo's face was dark and gloomy at that moment!
Qin Yun was instantly speechless!
Does this person need to call someone so close to speak?
Qin Yun was at a loss, so she took two steps forward. "Your Majesty, is it alright now?"
"Closer!"
Qin Yun bit her lower lip, gritted her teeth, and walked directly to Jie Qianmo's side!
Seeing Qin Yun approach sensibly, Jie Qianmo was satisfied!
He raised his eyes!
And looked at Qin Yun, saying, "So ugly!"
Ugly?
If I'm ugly, why did you call me so close?
"Since I have offended Your Majesty's eyes, I shall step back a few paces!"
Just as Qin Yun was about to make a slight movement, she heard Jie Qianmo say sternly, "How dare you!"
Her foot, which was about to move, was immediately withdrawn!
"I dare not!" Qin Yun lowered her head, feeling a little wronged!
"Is this how you come to see me? With no spirit or energy, anyone would think I've mistreated you!"
Qin Yun whispered, "Your Majesty treats me very well, and has not mistreated me!"
"In what way is it good? Tell me!" Jie Qianmo curved his lips.
This...
She really couldn't think of any way this dog man had been good to her!
She had just said a few perfunctory words, and she hadn't expected him to shamelessly ask her!
"Your Majesty loves the people as if they were his own children, and he has taken great care of me!" Qin Yun thought, this answer should be correct!
"How did he take care of you?" Jie Qianmo still asked persistently.
Qin Yun. ".....?"
Does this person have any shame?
She really didn't know how to answer this question!
"Can't answer?"
"Go to the couch over there and rest. Think about it carefully!"
"Rest?" Qin Yun was a little confused!
"Go when I tell you to. Do you intend to disobey?!"
Qin Yun whispered, "I dare not!"
"Then go lie on the couch! If you haven't rested well, you're not allowed to get up!"
Qin Yun pouted.
What kind of person is this!
It seemed her complexion was indeed very poor, no wonder that dog man called her ugly!
And he even asked such cruel questions to make things difficult for her!
When she reached the couch, Qin Yun hesitated! She really didn't dare to lie on it!
She turned her eyes!
Seeing Jie Qianmo's displeased expression!
Qin Yun finally broke down! She sensibly sat on the edge of the couch and then lay down on her side!
Turning her body, she faced away from Jie Qianmo!
She didn't want to see that face, it was so foul!
Seeing Qin Yun lie down obediently, Jie Qianmo curved his lips slightly!
To avoid putting pressure on Qin Yun, he got up and left the Imperial Study!
Qin Yun was left alone in the Imperial Study!
Perhaps she was really tired! She hadn't slept for two days and two nights at the manor!
Now that Jie Qianmo was not there, Qin Yun's mood relaxed, and she soon fell asleep!
When Jie Qianmo returned to the Imperial Study, it was five hours later. Qin Yun was still fast asleep!
He came to the couch and looked at Qin Yun's rosy little face, Jie Qianmo curved his lips slightly!
He reached out!
As his index finger touched Qin Yun's small face, Qin Yun frowned and slapped his hand away with a "crack"!
Then she turned over and continued to sleep!
Jie Qianmo stood there, his face darkened!
This kid, even when asleep... had such a temper!
Fang Jing behind him watched this scene, his heart in his throat!
Qin Zhuangyuan hit the Emperor...?
The Emperor's expression seemed angry!
Now Qin Zhuangyuan would be in trouble!
As Fang Jing was still worrying for Qin Yun, Jie Qianmo said nothing, went to the dragon chair and sat down, picking up the memorials on the desk to begin reviewing them!
Fang Jing looked at the sleeping Qin Yun, then at Jie Qianmo in front of him!
He scratched his head, not quite understanding what was happening!
But he was sure of one thing... the Emperor was truly good to Qin Zhuangyuan! He was too tolerant!
Normally, who would dare to sit on the Emperor's dragon couch, let alone sleep on it!
Just as Fang Jing was about to approach Jie Qianmo!
He was met with a cold glance from Jie Qianmo. "Your footsteps are too noisy, get out!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fang Jing replied softly!
He turned around, took off his shoes, and walked out of the Imperial Study step by step, quietly!
Now even his walking and speaking were wrong!
Or perhaps in the Emperor's eyes, even his breathing was wrong now, for fear of disturbing Qin Zhuangyuan's rest!
