Before Hu Xiao and Zhilan could return to the Imperial Palace, they were called back by an unfamiliar voice.

"Esteemed Empress, please wait."

She turned around and saw a handsome man in a black official uniform walking slowly towards them.

Hu Xiao had an impression of him. Just now, this person was standing behind Qin Shuo, and Qin Shuo had sent this person to interrogate him?

He raised his eyebrows and laughed without fear.

"Empress, His Majesty invites you to move to the study."

As soon as Yin Fufeng finished his sentence, Hu Xiaoxiao refused, "Tell Qin Shuo that I am not free."

It was the first time that Yin Fufeng had encountered such a situation, and he was stunned for two seconds before he responded, "Esteemed Empress, His Majesty is here to make peace!"

His words successfully stopped the laughter in his footsteps.

Peace?

"What do you mean?" Hu Xiao did not turn back, but his tone did not hide his interest in reconciliation.

"This, on the other hand, requires the Empress to personally come to the study room for a chat." Yin Fufeng had been showing off, which made Yin Fufeng smirk and cast a glance at him.

The man behind him looked even weaker than Qin Shuo, with curved eyebrows and curvy eyes. He looked like a sly old fox, annoying anyone who saw him.

"Got it." Hu Xiao glanced at him, not even giving him any face, and turned to walk towards the Imperial Palace: "I'm full, I don't want to go too far, you let Qin Shuo come find me."

Yin Fufeng stared at the departing back with his mouth wide opened in shock. He didn't even turn his head around. After staring blankly for quite a while, Yin Fufeng suddenly let out a muffled laugh. After he had finished laughing, he went to the study room to pass on Hu Xiaoxiao's message to Qin Shuo under the odd expression of the palace maids.

As expected, the young emperor's face darkened once again.

This bold and daring empress, relying on her special status, had become more and more dismissive!

Qin Shuo was so angry that he swept the report on the table to the ground. Calming his emotions, he walked towards Yu Zheng Palace with a gloomy face.

Yin Fufeng helplessly looked at the imperial reports, his eyes slightly twinkling. He seemed to be deep in thought. "It's been a long time since I've seen my cousin in such a bad mood. The last time was when my aunt passed away …"

Qin Shuo did not notice his abnormality and dismissed the guards at the door. These idiots were like decorations. They swaggered from under their noses into Imperial Concubine Xue's palace to display their might, guarding the door like pillars.

"His Majesty came a bit late." Just as he entered the palace gates, the eerie sound of laughter rang out.

Qin Shuo stopped in his tracks and looked over to see Hu Xiaoxiao leaning on the pavilion in the yard, holding a plate of unknown fruits in his arms.

Was he waiting for him?

Perhaps because he had been too disobedient by Hu Xiaoxiao and had been waiting for this woman, Qin Shuo unexpectedly felt overwhelmed.

Lowering his eyes, Qin Shuo sat across Hu Xiaoxiao. Before he could open his mouth, he saw Hu Xiaoxiao raise three thin and long fingers, the tips of which were bright red, causing his skin to shine like jade.

"I only have three requirements. First, freedom, but I'm not a canary in a cage. I can't always be locked in the palace, so if I want to leave the palace, you can't stop me!"

Qin Shuo was a little surprised, and he was right about Yin Fu Feng. Was this woman not used to the rules of the palace and felt uncomfortable?

After thinking for a moment, Qin Shuo nodded. "Sure, but I have a condition." You can leave the palace, but you cannot act rashly. You are not allowed to lose face for the imperial family, and you are making it difficult for an outsider to step onto the stage. "

"Alright!" Hu Xiaoxiao withdrew a finger and continued, "Secondly, I am not interested in the struggle for power in the imperial harem. It is your business whether you are willing to favor the imperial concubine or not. Get your woman to stay away from me, or else if you piss me off, I can't guarantee that your concubine won't lose an arm or a leg! "

Even without your words, Gu Ruoyun will still tell the imperial concubine to stay away from you!

Qin Shuo did not forget that this woman kicked Imperial Concubine Xue into the lake in front of him.

"No, you are not allowed to take the initiative to cause trouble for them, and you are not allowed to cause such a mess in the Gu's harem!" Seeing Hu Xiaoxiao nod, Qin Shuo asked, "What is the last requirement?"
